Your subscriptions with the Feedback Request Service

Hi Whiteguru! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service for one or both of the Good Article nomination categories "Arts" and "Everyday life".

You may have noticed that the Feedback Request Service has been inoperative for a number of months, and Yapperbot is currently in the process of taking over from Legobot in performing the requests. In that process, the subscription categories have been updated to match the current categories used by the Good Articles project, and neither "Arts" nor "Everyday life" is used anymore.

What this means is:

  • If you were subscribed to "Arts", your preference has been transferred to Art and architecture as a new category, which you have automatically been opted in to. You may also be interested in Music and/or Media and drama; however, you have not automatically been opted in to these. If you wish to opt in to these, you should follow the process below.
  • If you were subscribed to "Everyday life", you have been unsubscribed entirely from that category, as the category is too vague to assign to any of the new, more specific, categories.

You are encouraged to review your FRS preferences to ensure that they match your interests; there are a number of new categories you can now opt in to additionally. To do this, you should:

  1. Go to the Feedback Request Service page.
  2. If you were previously subscribed to "Arts" and wish to unsubscribe from "Art and architecture", scroll to that subheading and remove your {{Frs user}} template.
  3. If you wish to subscribe to an additional category, you should do so by pasting {{Frs user|{{subst:currentuser}}|limit}} underneath the relevant heading, where limit is the maximum number of requests you wish to receive for that category per month.
  4. Publish the page.

Please note that any subscription preferences you had with the FRS for requests for comment have not been affected by these changes.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the Feedback Request Service talk page, or on Yapperbot's operator's talk page. Thank you!

Kate Baker article

Hi Whiteguru, thanks for accepting Kate Baker for GA review, I really appreciate it. Is there anything you feel I need to do? I am looking forward to seeing what you think of the article, and any areas I need to improve it. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 22:50, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Aussie Article Writer Have been busy off site; lockdown matters and easing of restrictions in Vic took precedence. Will be able to get to this today. Thank you --Whiteguru (talk) 21:18, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ah! Totally understood, stay safe. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 01:32, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thank you for the review. Initially I disagreed with a number of your points, but then I reread them to be sure I wasn’t just being one-eyed about the material. And I was forced to conclude that actually I was being one-eyed. I have made some changes to correct the matters you brought up, thank you because it makes the article much better. In terms of balance, I still disagree and I have tried to show that I have only covered with the same balance as important secondary sources. I am concerned that in fact to do otherwise would caused a violation of WP:UNDUE. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 20:47, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Oh, and I feel I need to note that I really do appreciate your review. My disagreement on balance is in no way personal, and in fact I think it was a very reasonable concern you have flagged. It is only right that I justify the balance. Hopefully I have acquitted my case. If you disagree, then I respect your opinion and take it as a difference of opinion, without rancour. It may be that this causes it to fail GA, and I would not object to you doing so, but I would ask for a second opinion via an RFC. If this occurs, I wish to note that it would not be an affront but a way of soliciting feedback. - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 20:52, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aussie Article Writer I am going to express some caution here. I know Clem Furphy (and have worked with him, he was chair of the hospital board for many years) and Roger Furphy (I have met him and had talks with him), and have had neighbours who work at Furphys. I have been involved with the Furphy creative writing competition at the local library (Shepparton) and I have commissioned presentations on Furphy. See https://sheppartoninterfaith.org.au/?s=Furphy
  • I confess I felt a discomfort halfway through reviewing and took a break from reviewing the article to give myself some space for reflection to emerge. This is a bit unusual, for normally I conduct my reviews at full speed. Prima facie response. Not here. I was disappointed that I was unable to access Australian Literary Studies. My last step in reviewing was to read all of Burt and go hunting around in the London Gazette for the actual wording of the award. I downloaded the Arthur Upfield document, thank you for that reference. I am going to read all of it. Your comments are not going to fail the review; rather, we have had a healthy debate, and this is good. --Whiteguru (talk) 22:23, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please review?

Hi, thanks for reviewing my pages before. Can you please review A Forgotten Ambassador in Cairo? Also, can you teach me how to add categories and Wikiproject banners? --Sankoswal (talk) 03:46, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm DGG. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, A Forgotten Ambassador in Cairo, and have marked it as unreviewed. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

Glen Tullman

Hi Whiteguru. I saw that you worked on a lot of high-quality biographical pages and was hoping you might be willing to chip-in at "Suggested Edits" on Talk:Glen Tullman. I would like to improve the overall neutrality, reference quality, completeness, etc. of the page. Due to my WP:COI I am required to find a neutral editor to collaborate with that can review and approve/reject my suggested changes. Thank you in advance if you do check it out. 68.189.184.126 (talk) 19:25, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Akademische Druck- und Verlagsanstalt

Sorry, I fail to see layout problems, - it's a short article, what's wrong? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article history template

Hey, I appreciate your work cleaning up so many GA templates by rolling them into the Article history template. When you do, please include the parameters |currentstatus=GA and |topic= (the topic from the GA template). Without those, the article gets dropped from some of the GA administrative categories, and the talk page no longer indicates that it's a GA. Thanks for the organizational work! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 11:34, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Short descriptions

Musicals and plays should not be described as "Broadway" or "West End" musicals or plays. That may be where they premiered, but stage works can be performed anywhere, and sometimes revivals are more significant than the premieres. It is better to describe them as "Musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein", or similar. -- Ssilvers (talk) 02:31, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aphrodite of Knidos

FYI, short description changed because of the silly 40 character limit. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 13:13, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • John Maynard Friedman Yes, well, it may be silly. But. The driving reason is that the short description is displayed on the mobile access to the article in a search result. 65% of access to Wikipedia is now via mobile devices or tablets. (I suspect Wikimania might tell us a higher number...) The mobile display (and app) chop descriptions off at 40 chars. We have to live with change, aka, Cardinal Newman: Life is change, and to be perfect is to have changed often. --Whiteguru (talk) 21:08, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is no intrinsic reason to limit displays on mobile to 40 characters. Yes a substantial majority of visitors do so in mobile but a minority use the Wikipedia app. And the only reason that the app sets a 40 character limit is that it was specified that way. Anyway, sd-helper doesn't let me leave an edit note and I thought I should explain why I changed your SD immediately. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:27, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ranu Shankar

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ranu Shankar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DMySon (talk) 04:46, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
