It appears you’ve been quite busy and I’ve been standing by for some time now.

If you can advise on alternative steps I can take personally to get this proposal in front of another editor to review that would be helpful I’d like to finalize this section please and thank you in advance for your reply. Best, Jeremycohen333 (talk) 02:31, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Spintendo, I've posted a follow up under the Talk page topic for "Icarus" here: Talk:Bryan Fogel#c-Jeremycohen333-20240118214600-Jeremycohen333-20231227064300 so you will be able to see my response to the proposal for the 3rd party editor to review.

Hi Spintendo, I’m reviewing my proposed revisions to the content for the 3rd party editor. Perhaps I can supply you with the actual content in the preferred order of appearance with the references so it’s clear as to the changes from Fogel’s current article under “Icarus”, therefore you would be more streamlined to be submitted for their assessment of proposed changes? LMK thank you. Jeremycohen333 (talk) 18:11, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Amendment to Quarter Pounder Page

Relevant discussion at

→ Talk:Quarter Pounder#Amendment to Quarter Pounder Page

Hi, I believe you had trouble accessing the URL I had provided on 9 November in my edit request so I replied to you on the page on 30 November with a new URL and I wondered if you have had chance to review it yet please?

I would be grateful if you can delete: "Quarter Pounder" is a trademark in the United States, but restaurants in other countries have been able to use similar names for their own products, such as the British Wimpy chain's "Quarterpounder."

This is factually incorrect as no other restaurants have been permitted to use Quarter Pounder; any use by British Wimpy is unauthorised. Further, Quarter Pounder is not just registered in the US, it's very widely registered, in 61 countries, so the statement "Quarter Pounder" is a trademark in the United States" is misleading to readers as they may think it is only a US mark.

Many thanks IntangibleAssetEnthusiast (talk) 13:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

question re: Greystar Real Estate Partners

Relevant discussion User_talk:Spintendo § Question_about_Wikilinking_companies

Hi! Re: your feedback at Talk:Greystar Real Estate Partners – Is the idea that if those business units don't have their own articles, information about them isn't notable enough to be in the company article? Wouldn't best practice be to build up information in the main Greystar article (as RS coverage deems it notable) and then WP:SPLIT if it becomes unwieldy? I haven't been able to find more specific guidance on this, so any insight you're up to share would be really appreciated, and I'll take it into account in my future work. Thanks! Mary Gaulke (talk) 19:13, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MaryGaulke: Thank you for your question, I think it's a very important one. My viewpoints on including the mentioning of notable companies in articles are best explained in this talk page post where I describe the varying pages of Wikipedia guidance which have shaped my philosophy on this topic over the years. Please feel free to have a look there. For the sake of WP:TLDR, the jist of it would be WP:NOTDIRECTORY, which states the following under No. #6:

Neither articles nor their associated talk pages are for conducting the business of the topic of the article. Listings to be avoided include, but are not limited to: business alliances, clients, competitors, employees (except CEOs, supervisory directors and similar top functionaries), equipment, estates, offices, store locations, contact information, patent filings, products and services, sponsors, subdivisions and tourist attractions.

The mentioning of various related companies in a subject company's Wikipedia article is, in essence, to list them in that article. I believe that would make WP:NOTDIRECTORY apply. There is also WP:NOTNEWS, which states the following under No. #2:

Ensure that Wikipedia articles do not become merely reporters of news. Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage (in an article).

Because Wikipedia "considers the enduring notability of persons and events", I believe that asking for the notability of companies mentioned in a subject company's Wikipedia article is an incredibly important step in determining whether or not that information is included in the article. If you have any additional questions about this, please don't hesitate to ask me here in this thread. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 23:26, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Belated thank you! This was really helpful. Mary Gaulke (talk) 13:59, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Best selling artist

Hello Spintendo Happy new year You answered not done in the “ Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 6 December 2023” at “Talk: List of best-seling music artists” about Lady Gaga figures You cited “please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made”. I can’t continue the talk there. The source is indeed the White Hourse, onde Gaga is co-chair of the Arts commite. There are some considerations the editors need to make: - 170 million records sold represent Lady Gaga's so-called pure sales. - First, because this goes against the claimed sales before streaming became standard in the music industry. In January 2016, Billboard reported that Gaga had already sold 27 million albums and 146 million singles, therefore 173 million records. Source: https://www.billboard.com/pro/lady-gaga-signs-caa/ Note that Billboard explicitly uses the term “sold” not “equivalent sales” or otherwise and that this information is 7 years old. According to the article's definitions: “Gold/Platinum certifications issued after 2016, especially on singles, are in some cases more than 50% streaming generated”. Well, we're using an earlier period. - Second, because Lady Gaga's own team has already revealed the numbers of copies generated by streamings: 275 million in song consumption as stated in the author information section in the book “Channel Kindness: Stories of Kindness and Community” released by her in 2020 (numbers of this year). Source: https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Kindness-Stories-Community/dp/1250245583 - Third, because in a press release released last year for the Chromatica Ball Tour in London, it updated the numbers in 2022: 393 million in song consumption. Source: https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2022/march/lady-gaga-announces-two-concert-dates-at-tottenham-hotspur-stadium/ - Fourth: Lady Gaga would have more than 75% of sales with certifications. - Fifth : in fact Lady Gaga's claimed sales are even greater than 170 million, so this number is reasonable. - Last: Other musicians figures are updated almost monthly, but no update was made for Gaga in years. Is there any explanation for this? By the way, her own Wiki page cites 170 Million Records Matheushpdutra (talk) 01:52, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing this information. It looks as if the information on the page that you had flagged as needing to be changed was, according to you, not correct in some manner. Just to confirm, is this because the data was not being reported according to how the revised (since 2016) figures were being tabulated by Billboard? Please advise. Regards, Spintendo 15:43, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current source for Lady Gaga sales claimes are from February 2014 (almost 10 years ago). For some reason, everytime I request an edit, it’s not approved. The 170 million mark is supported by Billboard and comes from a period before streams take over control. However, at this point, not even with the sources I bring, editors are not willing to update. So, if I may, I ask you to update her sales to 170 million, using the White House page as reference, it’s the most recent (from her nomination to Arts comitee) and are the source from her own Wikipedia page, which is also protected from editors. Matheushpdutra (talk) 03:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again for your reply. The source that you'd like to use, I believe you called it the "white house" source, is that an official source for these types of figures? I would think that any figures we post on the page ought to originate from an authority which is regularly depended upon to release such figures, That would ensure that any changes we make are lasting. Thank you for your help. Regards, Spintendo 09:13, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even if we understand that White House - a.k.a. from the US government - is not an official source for it (by the way, I think that and government source should be consider a official source), the numbers (170 millions) is almost the same as the ones cited by Billboard (173 millions). To me, that’s the point. There’s multiple sources to use for 170 million records. Her actual source is from a not so well now aussie newspaper.

Darius Jones bio

Hi, I hope I’m not bothering you. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t do something to cause the bio update to be blocked?

Hi Spintendo, thank you for your ongoing contributions and management of the BPP University page. I wanted to reach out as it feels as though the page is missing some information typical of most academic institutions on Wikipedia pages, namely the academic profile section. I wondered if you would be open to reviewing some suggestions that I proposed last month? Would you agree that this is appropriate information to include on a page of this nature?

Quarter Pounder: Reply to my edit request

Hi Spintendo,

I haven't heard back from you since 12 January. Please can you review my response and revert this week? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Quarter_Pounder

As a reminder, I am requesting that you please delete: "Quarter Pounder" is a trademark in the United States, but restaurants in other countries have been able to use similar names for their own products, such as the British Wimpy chain's "Quarterpounder."

As explained in detail in my reply, the old NZ Wimpy mark you cited was in one territory only, dating back over 20 years, and was abandoned/cancelled, most likely because they were not able to keep it owing to McDonald’s prior use and rights. McDonald’s are and have been the registered owner of Quarter Pounder in New Zealand for 24 years, as well as elsewhere across the globe (62 countries worldwide). So only referring to their mark in the US may be misleading and no other restaurant (including Wimpy) has been authorised to use its mark.
