Manifesto & I'm Not There

Hey there! I wanted to get your opinion before I edited the article. I noticed in a few Manifesto clips, Blanchett's entire family appears in the film. Is this more trivia then it is relevant to the article? Thanks :) Vmars22 (talk) 01:07, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Vmars22, It might be relevant for the production section if the director or Blanchett spoke about her family's involvement. Lapadite (talk) 22:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I can't find any interview or anything where they speak about it. But, I found it in a review for the project. Would that still count or is it like trivia since it's a review? :) Vmars22 (talk) 23:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

@Vmars22: Right, but if it's just an observation, it's trivia; there's no place for that in the article. It'd be notable if there were information on the circumstances of their involvement in the film. Lapadite (talk) 05:11, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Alright then, so this "Blanchett, and her husband Andrew Upton and their children appear during her Widow manifesto", that would be Trivia right? (Sorry if I sound like I'm repeating myself, just trying to understand it). Vmars22 (talk) 16:20, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

@Vmars22: So what is the significance of that statement and where would you place it in the article? How is it noteworthy per se, or as it pertains to the surrounding content? With notable context (e.g., why/how where they involved, did the production accommodate, director or actress' commentary, etc), the fact would go in the relevant production subsection. But as is, a random factoid, it provides no encyclopedic value. See WP:NOTPLOT: "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources [...] merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia." There should be some real-world context for it to be notable or worthy of inclusion. I'm sure there will be some commentary on her family's involvement at some point, perhaps when the film premieres at film festivals; or whenever a reporter asks the director or Blanchett about it. Lapadite (talk) 17:51, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, thats true probably when its at festivals and what not, thanks for clearing that up :) Vmars22 (talk) 18:05, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Also one more thing, the poster at the bottom lists all of the companies/exhibtors listed in notes Can they be added in "production companies"? or since there's so many just leave it in notes? Vmars22 (talk) 20:00, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Vmars22, the text there is in German. They are listed in notes because there are too many companies and organizations that are credited and we don't/can't know which are the primary producers. Lapadite (talk) 01:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! I also wanted to get your opinion on the I'm Not There article. I'm planning on expanding the release section with more details, and also cleaning up the soundtrack page. Do you think I should or leave it the way it is? Thanks! Vmars22 (talk) 02:20, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

What specifically do you want my opinion on? You can edit constructively anywhere. Just make sure what you add is supported by citations, and that you don't remove content without giving a reason. See what WP:CLEANUP is if you haven't since this edit. Lapadite (talk) 02:35, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Like, what is relevant information, should only the main world premiere festival be added in the "Release" section? Vmars22 (talk) 21:19, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Vmars22, as has been recommended on your talk, you can refer to the Manual of Style for film articles. The release section says: "Details about a film's release can include noteworthy screenings at film festivals and elsewhere, theatrical distribution and related business, setups (e.g. digital, IMAX), and significant release date changes, with sourced commentary where appropriate. Do not include information on the film's release in every territory". So, noteworthy screenings can be included. Generally, and particularly when a film is screened at many film festivals, only film festivals that have a WP page would be considered noteworthy. On a different note, please indent comments on talk pages with colons (:); See WP:THREAD. Lapadite (talk) 22:04, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for providing where to refer, I will definitely include those next time I edit the article. Also, this article [1] mentions a screening of Manifesto. Would you consider this article relevant information? I translated it, but it didn't make much sense.Vmars22 (talk) 12:20, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Vmars22, according to Google translate, the paragraph on the film is only mentioning some of Blanchett's roles and where the film is shown. We already have cited sources on this, so not really needed. Lapadite (talk) 04:29, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

On the film's official website, Bobby Good is officially listed. Also, it seems her family is only credited as extras, and it looks like Blanchett's the only considered relevant actor, so a credits section won't be needed. Vmars22 (talk) 21:50, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Yep, official confirmation now. Lapadite (talk) 09:49, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Lapadite, I wanted to clarify my edit on Number 9 Films was indeed okay, I had noticed on articles for Nicola Peltz and Olivia Cooke, to not add films in pre-production, etc, in a infobox (or filmography box, I'm assuming?), per WP:Crystal and wanted to know if my edit was okay or not? Thanks. Vmars22 (talk) 13:00, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Vmars22, yes, no films in development or preproduction in filmography tables. Lapadite (talk) 02:14, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi Lapadite! I was wondering if including the citation about Bobby Good being the editor in the production section, or wait until more information about the post-production process to add it. Vmars22 (talk) 15:20, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Vmars22, best to wait for information on the post-production process. Lapadite (talk) 05:10, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Lapadite! :) I was just double checking but I removed two pre-production listed films from the Amber Heard article and was reverted because "She's confirmed to star in them". Even if she is confirmed doesn't the project have to be filming before it is included in the infobox. Isn't it mentioned in WP:Crystal? I included that also. Vmars22 (talk) 14:53, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Archiving Village Voice article

Even though I can pull up the http://www.villagevoice.com/event/carol-in-35mm-8424888 article, I am unable to archive it. The snapshots on Internet Archive are crazy no-good. I tried archiving it with Firefox, Chrome and Safari, but all of them return "Your connection is not private" blah-blah-blah. Even after turning off my anti-virus web shield. Can you give it a try and see what happens on your end? Thank you. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 08:31, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

@Pyxis Solitary: Yeah it's me giving a 404/Page not found error. A WebCite archive gives the same error. The page may have moved without the URL changing...or some other technical problem. I've contacted the site; I'll let you know if/when I get a response. Lapadite (talk) 05:38, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Good to know it's not just me. (I hope my computer can forgive all those dirty words I hurled at it.) Pyxis Solitary (talk) 07:20, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Pyxis Solitary, to follow up on this, I'd received this reply: "We cannot control when archive sites like the Wayback Machine grab copies of individual pages. I'm not seeing any issues with the page itself, so when they do hit it, they should be able to create an archive normally." I clarified further, but I haven't received a reply in over a week. I do get a "your connection is not private" when I try to access it on Google Chrome. Maybe you can contact the site to let them know it's not only one person experiencing the problem. Lapadite (talk) 00:20, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Lapadite. I just sent a message to them. I took screenshots of the results I receive when I try to archive the URL with Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, and let them know I have them in case they want see them. I'll let you know if/what they reply. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 01:54, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Lapadite (talk) 04:16, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Pyxis Solitary, I received a response today; the April 19 archive is now available. I added it to the ref. This is the response I received if you're interested: "We have isolated the specifics of the webcite and archive.org capturing methods that were incompatible with some elements of our event pages. We have added exceptions to allow those two sites to archive events, and you can use the archive.org April 19 capture for the Carol in 35 mm event page." Cheers. Lapadite (talk) 03:20, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

APPLAUSE! Just so you know, my message not only offered the screenshots for them to see, but I suggested that before they replied informing me everything was working okay on their end someone should try to archive the URL through a third-party computer and connection that was not linked to the Village Voice, and see for themselves if they could or not do it. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 05:15, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Exchanged citation for Grace Kelly reference in Carol (film)#Development

I noticed that the Lambda Literary interview with Phyllis Nagy was not included in the article and it's a valuable source. So I found a way to get it in there: used it as the citation re Grace Kelly. The Louis Jordan/Slate citation had been used a dozen times -- now it makes 11 times. I hope you don't mind this edit. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 04:40, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Copy edit request

Can you copy edit J. C. Daniel Award. I had submitted a request in WP:GOCE/REQ. I wish to submit it as FLC. --Charles Turing (talk) 16:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Charles Turing. When you make a request on WP:GOCE, active editors will respond to the request there. There's a process followed on the wikiproject, plus I'm currently not active on the requests page. I did preliminary/basic copy editing on the lead, reorganized it, and tagged anything that needs citation or clarification. I have not checked the sources; make sure every quotation and every statement that could be challenged is cited with a reliable source, and that every citation directly supports the statement it's citing. Keep the focus on the award. The background information on Daniel isn't necessary (I took the liberty of removing it; check if you need the cited source); readers can click on his article for more information. "The Government of Kerala created the award to commemorate the contribution of Indian filmmaker J. C. Daniel, who is often regarded as the "father of Malayalam cinema"" already establishes who he is and his importance, and the latter needs to be cited by at least one authoritative source. Since I am not familiar with this award or its organization, If you'd like me to follow up on this, I need clarification on the tagged statements, e.g., "the award was managed directly by"; as the following sentence would imply, is it meaning to say the award was "hosted"? The list looks fine. Let me know if you have any questions. Lapadite (talk) 21:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

First of all, thanks. I had made clarifications for the issues. All statements and quotations are directly supported by the sources. By the sentence "the award was managed directly by...", I meant that the award is now hosted by Kerala State Chalachithra Academy (KSCA) which operates under Department of Cultural affairs (DOCA), Govt of Kerala. Previously it was hosted directly by DOCA, KSCA was not created then. In 2003, there was no awards becasue, in 2002 (as per this source) KSCA proposed (to govt of Kerala) an increase in the prize money which was sanctioned in 2003 but due to some "technical corrections" (source) they could only gave it in 2004. And yes, I would like you to follow up the work. --Charles Turing (talk) 16:42, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Accepted on the request page, Charles Turing. Will continue within the next two days. Lapadite (talk) 04:16, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. --Charles Turing (talk) 10:02, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Charles Turing, few things:

Make sure all statements are corroborated by the cited sources. There are a few statements that aren't verified by the cited sources; for example: "The J. C. Daniel Award was managed by the Department of Cultural Affairs until 1997" in [2].

I sorted the recipients' names in the table by their last name, as I understand them to be (I checked their articles, and not all of them are clear on that); let me know if any surnames should be sorted differently.

Is there an image available for the award?

All links are live and have no issues, however, many of the archives from the Wayback Machine do not work/exist, e.g., this, and this. You may want to try a different web archiver, such as WebCitation. Lapadite (talk) 04:10, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Also, is the article using British English? Lapadite (talk) 04:31, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Sourced it, though "until 1997" is not cited, but can make logical assumption from the next sentence that KSCA is hosting it from 1998.

Sorting is correct.

Unfortunately, no image available on the internet.

Replaced the links.

Indian English. --Charles Turing (talk) 12:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

@Charles Turing: Ok. So in the interest of FLC, i'd stress, per the criteria, that all citations corroborate what they are citing, and no original research is present. I'd added the "Activities" citation to: "The award recipients are selected by an independent jury..." , however I see that the source is referring to the State Film Awards, not specifically the Daniel Award. Regarding the Daniel Award, it only states: "The awards bestowed by the Academy include the prestigious J.C Daniel Award". Lapadite (talk) 14:48, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

I understand. For the independent jury, I had supported it with a source (this). The source just gives the fact/evidence that a recipient is selected by a jury. I cannot find more accurate source. --Charles Turing (talk) 16:11, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

@Charles Turing: Ok, well the article is ready for scrutiny as far as copy editing goes. Good luck. And (belated) congrats on the Loham GA. Lapadite (talk) 16:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your work and time. --Charles Turing (talk) 17:41, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Please review new Category:Number 9 Films article

... and remove the "unreviewed article" template. Number 9 Films now has 18 films under its belt (two are scheduled for release in 2016 and one in 2017 -- so far). Thank you! Pyxis Solitary (talk) 09:05, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Pyxis Solitary, done. For future reference, category pages don't use references or any headings. Just give a description (including the selection criteria if needed), or use a template such as {{cat main}} and {{Category see also}}; add the relevant parent categories at the bottom; and add the category name to the articles that should be included in the category. See WP:CATEGORY for more information. A Number 9 Films article should be created. I don't have time right now to gather the information to do so and my focus is on other things, but i'd help with minor stuff in the mean time, if you want to get on that. Lapadite (talk) 09:42, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Lapadite: Thanks for your help! The original Number 9 Films article was redirected to Elizabeth Karlsen. I don't know how to undo a redirect. I can do some quick writing to put some flesh on its bone. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 10:02, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

@Pyxis Solitary: Not sure, but I think if the redirect page only has the creation of the redirect in its history, you can just replace the content on the redirect page with the new article content (but i'd ask an admin or the help desk). The article can start as a stub but should have more than a brief description of the company and a list of films produced; make sure you've established the subject's notability and used at least a few reliable, independent sources to avoid deletion (see: WP:N, WP:ORG). Lapadite (talk) 11:31, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Lapadite: I got the Number 9 Films article going. I'm burning my candle at both ends right now and will return to it soon to add more content. Pyxis Solitary (talk) 01:17, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Favor needed of an uninvolved editor

Hi, Lapadite77. A recent Request for Comment at Template talk:Infobox film#Request for comment ended with a unanimous consensus well before the usual 30-day run of an RfC.

So we wanted to ask an uninvolved editor to formally close it, using this template that WP:RfC makes available. To choose an uninvolved editor, I went to the WikiProject Film talk page to find the first uninvolved editor on the History page who has edited in the last day. When I did so earlier today, that was you. I know we're asking a favor, though I can say this certainly won't take more than about a minute. I hope you can help, and all of us at the discussion thank you. With regards, Tenebrae (talk) 21:18, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

{{Archive top|result= This RfC was closed because consensus was reached. ~~~~ }} (The entire RfC discussion goes here) {{Archive bottom}}

And a hearty thank you from all of us. You clearly read through the protracted discussion and summarized it beautifully, going to even more time and trouble than anyone had a right to ask. Again, thank you.--Tenebrae (talk) 20:04, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Carol (film)#External links

The URL for the "CAROL Production Notes" by Number 9 Films is no longer accessible. It returns an "Error 404". However, it was archived on IA. Also, "404 Not Found" is what you now get for the content that was available on twcguilds.com ("Carol - Films For Consideration resource"). I knew TWC was going to pull it down eventually so I archived all of it, but the only way to access the complete archived set of cast, filmmakers, photos, production-design, score, screenplays, and videos is the link for each individual page (as in: https://web.archive.org/web/20160323045014/http://twcguilds.com/film/carol/production-design/, https://web.archive.org/web/20160323045032/http://twcguilds.com/film/carol/score/, etc.). Since none of the links are citations, I suppose we can just straightforward substitute the dead links for the archive ones. What say you? Pyxis Solitary (talk) 07:55, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter. >>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<< July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever. August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News

Guild of Copy Editors December 2016 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful! >>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<< Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating! September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your Watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdslk. >>> Sign up for the December Blitz! <<<

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News

Guild of Copy Editors February 2017 News Hello everyone, and welcome to the February 2017 GOCE newsletter. The Guild has been busy since the last time your coordinators sent out a newsletter! >>> Sign up for the March Drive! <<< December blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 December; the themes were Requests and eliminating the November 2015 backlog. Of the 14 editors who signed up, nine editors completed 29 articles. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all who took part. January drive: The January drive was a great success. We set out to remove December 2015 and January and February 2016 from our backlog (195 articles), and by 22 January we had cleared those and had to add a third month (March 2016). At the end of the month we had almost cleared out that last month as well, for a total of 180 old articles removed from the backlog! We reduced our overall backlog by 337 articles, to a low of 1,465 articles, our second-lowest month-end total ever. We also handled all of the remaining requests from December 2016. Officially, 19 editors recorded 337 copy edits (over 679,000 words). February blitz: The one-week February blitz, focusing on the remaining March 2016 backlog and January 2017 requests, ran from 12 to 18 February. Seven editors reduced the total in those two backlog segments from 32 to 10 articles, leaving us in good shape going in to the March drive. Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 stepped aside as lead coordinator, remaining as coordinator and allowing Miniapolis to be the lead, and Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators. Thanks to all who participated! Speaking of coordinators, congratulations to Jonesey95 on their well-deserved induction into the Guild of Copy Editors Hall of Fame. The plaque reads: "For dedicated service as lead coordinator (2014, 1 July – 31 December 2015 and all of 2016) and coordinator (1 January – 30 June 2015 and 1 January – 30 June 2017); exceptional template-creation work (considerably streamlining project administration), and their emphasis on keeping the GOCE a drama-free zone." Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Carol GA Review

Hello, Lapadite. I collected 15 reviews for the Critical response section. Can you suggest a film article with a good example of reviews? I probably will not return to Wikipedia until Friday. But I can look at an example and hammer the content together to cut/paste to article. Thanks! Pyxis Solitary talk 19:04, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Critical response section done. Pyxis Solitary talk 13:24, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Pyxis Solitary, sorry for the late response. You can take a look at FA film articles here or GA here. I haven't looked at the article edits, but re your latest edit summary about the WSJ source: you can cite sources that require subscription, see WP:PAYWALL. We use the Template:Subscription required for that. Besides, one can read most of them in full through an archive. If WSJ source includes more or other notable info/context, it's best to leave it cited. Lapadite (talk) 16:29, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I was under the impression that the use of sources requiring a subscription to access them was discouraged. I restored the WSJ citation with its archive. Pyxis Solitary talk 06:48, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Don't know if you were notified, but it passed and is now a GA. The bot message on my Talk page says it should appear in ITN or DYK. If it doesn't, it needs to be nominated. Quite frankly, the hoop jumping is a turn off for me. There is no going straight from A to B with Wikipedia. But ... Applause! You put a lot of effort into creating the kind of excellent article that Carol became. Pyxis Solitary talk 08:03, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Pyxis Solitary, thanks and great job yourself. To appear on DYK, the article would've had to be nominated within 7 days of become GA. Lapadite (talk) 22:52, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Can you keep an eye on the article? I don't want to be dragged into an edit war with editors that do not appear to be familiar with WP's policy for contributing copyrighted information. At this stage there really should be no significant alterations of content. Thank you! Pyxis Solitary talk 06:38, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Pyxis Solitary, I'm not very active lately, but I'll check for WP violations whenever I get on. Lapadite (talk) 03:23, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Carol nominated for FA

An editor who made four edits in March 2016 left a comment in the Talk page about how it should be a FA candidate, and less than 48 hours later nominated it. Rather than have it be rejected, I agreed to step in as the nominator.

I really and truly think you should be the co-nominator. You are the top editor in its Wikipedia Page History Statistics. It's your baby more than any other editor's. C'mon, L77 ... Carol's universe is waiting for your last rivet. :-) Pyxis Solitary talk 13:16, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

@Pyxis Solitary: Waving the white flag there as the review's already begun. I haven't had the time to catch up, and I'd probably make edits/add info when I do. I will actually start reviewing the article history (from over a year ago) in the next couple of days, but multiple or major edits not part of the review might disrupt the process, so I'm not inclined to jump in while it's ongoing. Carry the torch, good luck. ✌️ Lapadite (talk) 12:05, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

The torch is already starting to singe my fingertips. Some editors who get involved in the process do it because they want to offer constructive opinions, other editors get involved because they want to pleasure their ego (and saints protect us from the ones who can't handle bruised pride when viewpoints boomerang). I'm not a masochist, so I don't know if I'll see the FAC through as I did with the GAN. Ciao. Pyxis Solitary talk 07:38, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors December 2017 News

Guild of Copy Editors December 2017 News Hello copy editors! Welcome to the December 2017 GOCE newsletter, which contains nine months(!) of updates. The Guild has been busy and successful; your diligent efforts in 2017 has brought the backlog of articles requiring copy edit to below 1,000 articles for the first time. Thanks to all editors who have contributed their time and energy to help make this happen. >>> Sign up for the January Drive! <<< >>> Participate in the Coordinator Elections! <<< Our copy-editing drives (month-long backlog-reduction drives held in odd-numbered months) and blitzes (week-long themed editing in even-numbered months) have been very successful this year. March drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2016 from our backlog and all February 2017 Requests (a total of 304 articles). By the end of the month, all but 22 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 28 who signed up, 22 editors recorded 257 copy edits (439,952 words). (These numbers do not always make sense when you compare them to the overall reduction in the backlog, because not all editors record every copy edit on the drive page.) April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 April; the theme was Requests. Of the 15 who signed up, 9 editors completed 43 articles (81,822 words). May drive: The goals were to remove July, August, and September 2016 from the backlog and to complete all March 2017 Requests (a total of 300 articles). By the end of the month, we had reduced our overall backlog to an all-time low of 1,388 articles. Of the 28 who signed up, 17 editors completed 187 articles (321,810 words). June blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 18 through 24 June; the theme was Requests. Of the 16 who signed up, 9 editors completed 28 copy edits (117,089 words). 2017 Coordinator elections: In June, coordinators for the second half of 2017 were elected. Jonesey95 moved back into the lead coordinator position, with Miniapolis stepping down to remain as coordinator; Tdslk and Corinne returned as coordinators, and Keira1996 rejoined after an extended absence. Thanks to all who participated! July drive: We set out to remove August, September, October, and November 2016 from the backlog and to complete all May and June 2017 Requests (a total of 242 articles). The drive was an enormous success, and the target was nearly achieved within three weeks, so that December 2016 was added to the "old articles" list used as a goal for the drive. By the end of the month, only three articles from 2016 remained, and for the second drive in a row, the backlog was reduced to a new all-time low, this time to 1,363 articles. Of the 33 who signed up, 21 editors completed 337 articles (556,482 words). August blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 20 through 26 August; the theme was biographical articles tagged for copy editing for more than six months (47 articles). Of the 13 who signed up, 11 editors completed 38 copy edits (42,589 words). September drive: The goals were to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all August 2017 Requests (a total of 338 articles). Of the 19 who signed up, 14 editors completed 121 copy edits (267,227 words). October blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 22 through 28 October; the theme was Requests. Of the 14 who signed up, 8 editors completed 20 articles (55,642 words). November drive: We set out again to remove January, February, and March 2017 from the backlog and to complete all October 2017 Requests (a total of 207 articles). By the end of the month, these goals were reached and the backlog shrank to its lowest total ever, 997 articles, the first time it had fallen under one thousand (click on the graph above to see this amazing feat in graphical form). It was also the first time that the oldest copy-edit tag was less than eight months old. Of the 25 who signed up, 16 editors completed 159 articles (285,929 words). 2018 Coordinator elections: Voting is open for the election of coordinators for the first half of 2018. Please visit the election page to vote between now and December 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Thanks for participating! Housekeeping note: We do not send a newsletter before (or after) every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your watchlist. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

WikiProject Wikify: Current Backlog Reduction Plan

Hey, I noticed you marked yourself as a member of WikiProject Wikify and you are currently listed as active. I was wondering if you would be able to assist with our current backlog reduction plan. While traditional drives are more structured month-long sprints by WikiProject Wikify members, there is currently lacking activity within the project and in order to significantly reduce the incredible backlog, members are encouraged to review all articles marked with the Underlinked Template Message - {{underlinked}} - a list of which can be found here - to analyze the worthiness of the template message on the given article. Articles that have nothing to link or are have had wikilinks sufficiently added should have the template removed to clear the backlog and make it easier for editors to find articles in genuine need of wikification. This can be done by any editor; however, all editors should consider joining if they haven't done so already. Thank you!

June 2018 GOCE newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors June 2018 News Welcome to the June 2018 GOCE newsletter, in which you will find Guild updates since the February edition. Progress continues to be made on the copyediting backlog, which has been reduced to 7 months and reached a new all-time low. Requests continue to be handled efficiently this year, with 272 completed by the end of May (an average completion time of 10.5 days). Fewer than 10% of these waited longer than 20 days, and the longest wait time was 29 days. Wikipedia in general, and the Guild in particular, experienced a deep loss with the death on 20 March of Corinne. Corinne (a GOCE coordinator since 1 July 2016) was a tireless aide on the requests page, and her peerless copyediting is a part of innumerable GAs and FAs. Her good cheer, courtesy and tact are very much missed. March drive: The goal was to remove June, July and August 2017 from our backlog and all February 2018 Requests (a total of 219 articles). This drive was an outstanding success, and by the end of the month all but eight of these articles were cleared. Of the 33 editors who signed up, 19 recorded 277 copy edits (425,758 words). April blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 15 through 21 April, focusing on Requests and the last eight articles tagged in August 2017. At the end of the week there were only 17 pending requests, with none older than 17 days. Of the nine editors who signed up, eight editors completed 22 copy edits (62,412 words). May drive: We set out to remove September, October and November 2017 from our backlog and all April 2018 Requests (a total of 298 articles). There was great success this month with the backlog more than halved from 1,449 articles at the beginning of the month to a record low of 716 articles. Officially, of the 20 who signed up, 15 editors recorded 151 copy edits (248,813 words). Coordinator elections: It's election time again. Nominations for Guild coordinators (who will serve a six-month term for the second half of 2018) have begun, and will close at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible, and self-nominations are encouraged. Voting will take place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. June blitz: Stay tuned for this one-week copy-editing blitz, which will take place in mid-June. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Corinne, Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tdslk. >>> Participate in the June elections! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

India Arie albums

I noticed that on each of her album pages you removed neo soul from the genre section and said they were "unsourced", but India is a neo soul artist and her music is predominantly Contemporary R&B, soul and neo soul so I don't see why edited neo soul out. Thanks. --Rmcrae2015 (talk) 03:23, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Genres need to sourced. Neo soul is listed in her bio article though it shouldn't unless it is cited with reliable source(s) stating the she is a neo soul artist. Genres also need to be sourced in album articles; the reliable source(s) cited need to state the album falls under the genre in question. You can cite the source(s) that state that the albums are neo soul. Note that a source saying that an album is influenced by or experimenting with any given genre does not classify the album under that genre.

Musicnotes.com

Hello, I noticed this revision here and wondered why musicnotes.com wasn't considered a reliable source? It has long been used across wikipedia including in good and featured articles. Apologies if I missed something... → Lil-℧niquԐ 1 - { Talk } - 20:53, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Lil-unique1 This site is a sheet music retailer - and btw, they note in their About page that you can "Choose Your Arrangement - For each song in our library, we offer a variety of scorings and transpositions that make it easy to choose the arrangement that fits your needs." Where, in these citations of sheet music, does a reputable writer/editor make the interpretive statements written in the Wikipedia article(s)? Is there editorial oversight on the site that I'm missing? Articles/blogs analyzing the composition of songs? All I see is a business selling sheet music. Without editorial oversight, without reputable writers/editors, one can not use it to support analyses or statements of fact, which are then original research on WP. WP:RS states:

• "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."
• "Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact."
• "editors should consider whether the source meets the normal requirements for reliable sources, such as editorial control and a reputation for fact-checking."
• "Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight". Lapadite (talk) 00:59, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Jahna Sebastian is the name of Nicole Dean's mother and her daughter does live with her

Hi this information about Swizz Beatz is official and well documented. Please stop erasing the name of Nicole's mother out of the page. Jahna Sebastian is the name of Nicole's mother. This is her professional name that she is known for as a public person, singer, songwriter, producer and under which she releases music. There is no such singer performing under a name 'Zhanna Andrianova'. This is her private passport name, her public name is Jahna Sebastian. https://www.instagram.com/multivizionmusic/ her instagram and her many followers know her as Jahna Sebastian, not as Zhanna Andrianova. You can see pictures of Nicole there. https://legendsonthemap.wordpress.com/2018/08/14/jahna-sebastian-with-nicole-dean-and-history-of-ancient-egypt/ Jahna Sebastian with daughter Nicole Dean and history of Ancient Egypt

In the other article it clearly states 

JAHNA SEBASTIAN: SWIZZ BEATZ IS A GOOD FATHER TO OUR DAUGHTER 'https://bckonline.com/2014/03/11/jahna-sebastian-opens-up-about-motherhood

it's didn' say 'Zhanna Andrianova'! It said Jahna Sebastian! Why put a name of person, when she herself only uses her public name everywhere including her interviews about her daughter and on social media?

It is also well documented that Nicole lives with her mother in London and known by the public.

in the article she states herself, that Swizz Beatz sees Nicole three to four times a year https://bckonline.com/2014/03/11/jahna-sebastian-opens-up-about-motherhood

'How often does Swizz see Nicole?

“Three to four times a year on average. I have always supported their relationship. That was the initial reason I reached out in the first place because a child deserves a chance to have a relationship with the father.”

information about Nicole living with her mother:

Pop Star Jahna Sebastian Produces Mother's Day Shoot that Inspires the #LilGoddess Art Challenge https://www.prlog.org/12555744-pop-star-jahna-sebastian-produces-mothers-day-shoot-that-inspires-the-lilgoddess-art-challenge.html

The photoshoot captured her love for her daughter Nicole as she is a real mother in every sense of the word. She is a full-time working mother who takes care of Nicole 7 days a week all by herself and brings her daughter with her on every project she works on. Everything she did she did was done independemtly as she came to the UK completely alone and started life from scratch without any assistance from friends, family or a significant other as she was a refugee who came to London to escape persecution from her native homeland Russia.

She worked extremely hard for Nicole providing and attending to all her needs. Her hard work and dedication to her daughter enabled her to buy a house in cash to provide a roof over Nicole's head. She also took care of obtaining Nicole's citizenship without any family, friends, or significant other. Although it was costly and required Ms. Sebastian to make sacrifices she made sure she took care of it to provide Nicole all the liberties that comes with being a British citizen.

here she discusses being a full time mother https://www.spreaker.com/user/devonn/episode-19-radio-show-2018

you added information about a private person Nicole Levy, who is not even on social media, yet you want to use the unknown private name of an artist who releases and produces music internationally under the known name Jahna Sebastian. It's disrespectiful to both the mother and the child.

Your edits have been also complained about by many users on social media. You edited the name of Jahna Sebastian out of Swizz Beatz page, when for years it stated that Nicole's mother is a singer and producer. You need to stop editing the mother's name out of real history!

Jahna Sebastian is not just a singer

It is well known and documented, that she is a producer and engineer. She released two albums recently all produced by herself, she produced for other artists, all officially released. https://getyourbuzzup.com/2017/09/28/jahna-sebastian-releases-her-highly-anticipated-album-the-alchemist-jahnasebastian/

,London based singer, songwriter, producer and engineer Jahna Sebastian releases her much anticipated album, :The Alchemist”. The album features her critically acclaimed singles “Aftermath”, “Fearless” and her recently released “When Love Shows Light”. All three singles were written, recorded, produced, arranged and mixed by Ms. Sebastian at her studio Multivizion Music. The project was a one woman project, everything created was done by Ms. Sebastian. The album features beats that you can dance to in the club and at festivals while listening to a powerful message at the same time.'

Your edit summaries

Please be a bit more descriptive and accurate with your edit summaries in future, because by no means is this a copyedit. You removed content without explaining why. Even if it's obvious, like "these genres aren't sourced", it should be explained. Your following edit to N.B. (album) was also not a copyedit, as you added material to the personnel section without explaining why. Thank you. Ss112 20:42, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Here (Alicia Keys album) Dispute

I would like to follow up the close by User:Iazyges of the dispute. As they said, it appears that any content dispute overlaps with the RFC. There are also conduct issues. Please be aware that personal attacks are not permitted. Conduct issues may be reported at WP:ANI, but first read the boomerang essay. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:12, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Robert McClenon Thanks for the input on DRN. It was closed before I had a chance to respond to Dan56's utter bs attacks/accusations of me - and I don't know why they weren't removed as DRN is not for conduct issues much less personal attacks (did you see me call him out on everything he does there?) - which are, as usual of him with plenty of editors, a complete projection of what he actually does. Dan56 –who has a history of engaging in bad faith, accusations and personal attacks in content disputes (if you're aware of him and his history at ANI and other places, you know) and did so against myself at that page's content dispute – is the one who actually repeatedly engages in everything he accused me of at the DRN. Take a look at this album's talk page, his tendentious, NPOV-violating edits/reverts there, and most lengthy content disputes he's participated in (some of which I've also been a participant) where people disagree with him or revert an edit of his, and you'll likely find that conduct there, as well as other editors calling him out on it and more. Please do not merely take that editor's word (who's been called out several times before, that I'm aware of, for also misrepresenting and deceiving) and bring his bs accusations & projections to my talk, especially without reading through the whole content dispute at the album's talk, where you can see not only HIS first personal attacks/accusations there but his repeatedly tendentious editing on the article, including removing a group of positive reviews from notable sources, removing citations from the sentence summarizing reception, and replacing positive or mixed review rating with a negative outlier. Thanks. Lapadite (talk) 23:05, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I have given Dan56 a similar warning. If you have read the boomerang essay and are prepared to report him to WP:ANI, go ahead. In any case, it is clearly mostly a conduct dispute. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:37, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Robert McClenon, see recent edit; this editor just can't help but, if not throw accusations and personal attacks, at the very least inject editor "shade" or baiting in content discussions. That's opening an RfC. Anyway, have a good day. Lapadite (talk) 00:28, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Comments on my edits

I wanted to thank you for giving me feed back on edit improvements. As I am trying to better my editing and want the same for all WikiUsers to do. I took the liberty of what you said. I went back to re edit my link sources. If you go back to article artist Lauren Jauregui. As those are the ones you made comments on. I cleaned up my link sources and changed some corrections to make it look more professional. The minor edit citation is not something I have always been aware of but if you feel I have been using it so abusively. You have the right to message me. I will be more cautious of that and keep looking for other edit errors on any article page. Personally reasons behind me not using full citation was partially due to me being busy. I was busy with other stuff that I forgot to clean up my edits. The citations were there they just need to be cleaned up. If you go back and check they as of now are in full citation mode. This is something using do not pass up on but in this case lately I have split on. I would also recommend if you see any other users not fully citing their sources and only using Bare URLs as you described them. Please don't be afraid to fully correct them yourself. That is what I would do if I notice an error or a citation on a WikiPage. Vandalism is unnecessary and we all want to make sure all pages are fully correct, cited and error changes have been made. Anyway thank you much appreciated and no hard feelings.--Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 02:57, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Welcometothenewmillenium You might want to not make unconstructive edits like [4], where you're baselessly reverting the rightful removal of an unnecessary tag. You saw the edit summary where it was explained that the statement is cited in the section on solo projects & debut album. Therefore you reinstating your unneeded tag, either without checking the sourced section or despite it (and without even including an edit summary), is unconstructive at best. I suggest you read WP:EDIT, WP:QUO. Lapadite (talk) 02:13, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Update to scripts by AlexTheWhovian/Alex 21

Hello! This is a generic message created and copied to all editors using scripts that I have created. As I have recently changed my username from "User:AlexTheWhovian" to "User:Alex 21", any scripts that I have created that are listed at your common.js page may, at the moment, no longer be working. To fix this, simply update all occurrences of "User:AlexTheWhovian" to "User:Alex 21"; see here for an example. All the best! -- /Alex/₂₁ 11:05, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

More than That

The first mentions of an artist's name (after the lede) are always wikilinked because it is treated as separate than the lead. Mtv.com/news is the website for MTV News, not MTV. Also, you complained about me "overlinking" Jauregui's name, yet went ahead and overlinked Rolling Stone in the Critical Reception section even though its linked in the section right before it [5]. Are you just looking to edit war or what?--NØ 13:06, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

It isn't Wikipedia custom to wikilink subject's name again after the lead, that is totally unnecessary (readers know who the subject of the article is from the article name and/or lead & infobox), but ask other editors' opinion on that if you wish. It's Wikipedia custom to wikilink publications in every section; many readers don't necessarily read section by section and go directly to a particular section of interest. You had also removed italics from some publication names, and changed some publications from the work/website ref parameter to the publisher parameter. I fixed that too. Ss112 also undid those errors from your edit. Lapadite (talk) 15:50, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't think so. As far as I'm aware, there is no guideline that states publications are an exception to MOS:OL. I think someone has misguided you. May I know where you read or heard this? Anyway, I'm sorry if my initial post came off as aggressive.--NØ 16:18, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

No worries. I see that you and are discussing it now, so let's end this topic here. Please take any discussion of the article or guidelines to their respective talk pages. Lapadite (talk) 16:51, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Citation controversy on articles Ally Brooke and Lauren Jauregui

See isn't that better to mention that on my talk page. Now did all of this have to be blast on the whole freaking article page. If there is an error revolving around a certain user why not make a comment on their own page? Instead of blasting it on article pages. Wouldn't you think the user would be able to respond better to your message if you did that. See how all of that could have been avoided and maybe prevent a Wiki War? I understand if it is a general editorial problem for the whole page then discuss it on the talk page. However, if the comments are only directed to me and only me then a direct message to my own page is fine. Seeing as others do not have time to waist reading all that information when it doesn't apply to them only to that specific person. Now going back to your comments about re references the same link to the same content. Okay I took a look at Wikipedia Guidelines regarding citations and editing policy. I understand repeating the same citations is not okay I get that. I am only telling you this because you feel as though I haven't gotten your message or whatever your thinking. My one question to you is this sentence "The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none. The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article." Since that is included in the guidelines. What do we do if the decision results in that case? Clearly there are exceptions and from my understanding that in some cases it's okay to re reference the same link in lead and body. In some cases it is okay to allow that to happen. --Welcometothenewmillenium (talk) 21:50, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Fifth Harmony Members

Hello, i've just been notified that you have reverted edits that were contributed to the page.

Nocontrol101 (talk) 22:20, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

Nocontrol101 Hi. On the Brooke article, the edit on the genres are citing a source that does not classify artist's music under those genres. For the Jauregui article, the added genres are unsourced; the former citations do not support them. Please discuss article changes on the article's talk page.

Camila Cabello Personal Life section

Camila never confirmed a relationship or said Matthew Hussey name. She said "I'm the happiest I ever being", but never said with who (then the article added his name for click bait.) It's literally gossip information to use that as a source. If it wasn't relevant enough for her to name him, should it really be included on her page?

September 2019 GOCE Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2019 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the September newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2019. June election: Reidgreg was chosen as lead coordinator, and is being assisted by Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk, and first-time coordinator Twofingered Typist. Jonesey95 took a respite after serving for six years. Thanks to everyone who participated! June Blitz: From 16 to 22 June, we copy edited articles on the themes of nature and the environment along with requests. 12 participating editors completed 35 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: The year's fourth backlog-elimination drive was a great success, clearing all articles tagged in January and February, and bringing the copy-editing backlog to a low of five months and a record low of 585 articles while also completing 48 requests. Of the 30 people who signed up, 29 copyedited at least one article, a participation level last matched in May 2015. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 18 to 24 August, we copy edited articles tagged in March 2019 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 03:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 413 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stood at 599 articles, close to our record month-end low of 585. Requests page: We are experimenting with automated archiving of copy edit requests; a discussion on REQ Talk (permalinked) initiated by Bobbychan193 has resulted in Zhuyifei1999 writing a bot script for the Guild. Testing is now underway and is expected to be completed by 3 October; for this reason, no manual archiving of requests should be done until the testing period is over. We will then assess the bot's performance and discuss whether to make this arrangement permanent. September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

• Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
• Diversity winner
• Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here.

GOCE December 2019 Newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors December 2019 Newsletter Hello and welcome to the December 2019 GOCE newsletter, an update of Guild happenings since the September edition. Our Annual Report should be ready in late January. Election time: Nominations for the election of a new tranche of Guild coordinators to serve for the first half of 2020 will be open from 1 to 15 December. Voting will then take place and the election will close on 31 December at 23:59 UTC. Positions for Guild coordinators, who perform the important behind-the-scenes tasks that keep our project running smoothly, are open to all Wikipedians in good standing. We welcome self-nominations so please consider nominating yourself if you've ever thought about helping out; it's your Guild and it doesn't run itself! September Drive: Of the thirty-two editors who signed up, twenty-three editors copy edited at least one article; they completed 39 requests and removed 138 articles from the backlog, bringing the backlog to a low of 519 articles. October Blitz: This event ran from 13 to 19 October, with themes of science, technology and transport articles tagged for copy edit, and Requests. Sixteen editors helped remove 29 articles from the backlog and completed 23 requests. November Drive: Of the twenty-eight editors who signed up for this event, twenty editors completed at least one copy edit; they completed 29 requests and removed 133 articles from the backlog. Our December Blitz will run from 15 to 21 December. Sign up now! Progress report: From September to November 2019, GOCE copy editors processed 154 requests. Over the same period, the backlog of articles tagged for copy editing was reduced by 41% to an all-time low of 479 articles. Request archiving: The archiving of completed requests has now been automated. Thanks to Zhuyifei1999 and Bobbychan193, YiFeiBot is now archiving the Requests page. Archiving occurs around 24 hours after a user's signature and one of the templates {{Done}}, {{Withdrawn}} or {{Declined}} are placed below the request. The bot uses the Guild's standard "purpose codes" to determine the way it should archive each request so it's important to use the correct codes and templates. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators; Reidgreg, Baffle gab1978, Miniapolis, Tdslk and Twofingered Typist. >>> Sign up for the December blitz! <<< >>> Participate in the Coordinator elections! <<< To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Love lies

Hey I saw what you said about having two different billboard charts. And I respect that and I also appreciate you not reverting. But I’ve seen plenty of songs on Wikipedia where the lead mentions what the song did on the billboard hot 100 and a genre chart. For instance “You Say” by Lauren Daigle. And so many more that’s just an example. So are those leads incorrect? Kanyfug (talk) 15:05, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Kanyfug It’s customary that if a subject has charted in a country’s main chart or has been awarded by major organizations we don’t also bloat the lead with minor charts and minor awards, or superfluous trivia for that matter. There are always exceptions to everything, but generally only the most notable charts, awards and records are mentioned in the lead. Everything else is noted in the body of the article. Reasons for this include: preventing WP:UNDUE, WP:BLOATED, WP:PUFFERY, going over MOS:LEADLENGTH and the slippery slope of adding more minor trivia. The “You Say” article is an example of an exception; since she is a genre artist (Christian music) her records with that genre’s chart is notable. However that airplay chart trivia can go (if it was an all-time record it would be notable), and the first sentence of the second paragraph should be trimmed and supported by a reliable source stating that the song was a “huge Christian radio success”. Lapadite (talk) 01:19, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Please help.

Hi Lapadite, Please I need help moving an article page from draft to the main page. I’ve submitted for review but it’ll take about 4months or more.

My article page is a Nigerian fast rising musician and I’d Ben sincerely grateful if you can help move it to the main page from your dashboard.

Here’s the link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:LYTA

Thank you for your time and effort.

Regards, shivarvar. Shivarvar prenko (talk) 10:12, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Shivarvar prenko Hi. I don't have experience with moving articles from draft to mainspace or the review process. All articles I've created have been directly in the mainspace. I can direct you to the policies and guidelines (PAG) that the article content needs to abide by in order for the article to be accepted. The most important PAG right now for your article to pass is WP:NOTABILITY / WP:PEOPLE, WP:RS, WP:BLP. I can see your draft is missing citations to several sentences, and you have not yet established notability of the subject of the article; a sufficient amount of reliable sources need to discuss the artist himself not just a hit single. As it is, the article likely wouldn't pass, so read over the PAG I linked first. Lapadite (talk) 01:40, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
