Your GA nomination of David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf

The article David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf for comments about the article, and Talk:David Bowie Narrates Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

This would probably make for a really good DYK hook ngl. Blueskiesdry (talk) 20:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

You're right. I'll nominate it, thanks! – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 03:10, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy FA status

Hello there, it has been a while since I've been very busy working but I've recently nominated Kanye West's acclaimed 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy for FA status after running through it again and as a West fan, I thought you may be interested in leaving some comments at the FAC.

False titles

Hello - Just a friendly note to let you know that some edits who've made introduced false titles in sentences where one didn't exist prior to your edit (see: [1] ) - No worries, but your edit summaries refer to an essay, WP:FALSETITLE, that specifically advises against the edits who've made. I reverted the most recent two such edits, but it appears you might have done this at hundreds of articles (see link to edit summary search below). Please reread the essay and perhaps consider self-reverting these particular edits. Thank you. Señor Spock (talk) 18:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC) Señor Spock (talk) 18:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Señor Spock I think you might be misreading WP:FALSETITLE. A false title is without the "the", so the Rodrigo albums currently have a false title, which I "fixed". It makes a little more sense when you read it as "album by the American singer-songwriter" rather than as "album by American singer-songwriter". There must be a misunderstanding here. Yes, it is an essay that is not currently an actual WP rule, but I've already seen it be implemented across arrays of articles. I encourage you to re-read the essay. The way it's worded is confusing, as "removing" a false title means you "add" a "the". – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 19:27, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Here's the example from the essay you linked to in your edit summaries:

A false title is when you remove the article ("the", "a" or "an") before a noun, making it into a freaky psuedo-adjective.

• False title: The documentary follows American songwriter Bob Dylan.
• No false title: The documentary follows the American songwriter Bob Dylan.

I read the essay correctly, but misread your edits, which added the, not removed them. My bad - very sorry for the confusion. I'm still getting used to reading diffs and still get confused sometimes. Sorry to have bothered you - I'll revert my reverts. Señor Spock (talk) 23:24, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
