In addition to bone-deep burn scars on my left hand I now also have C7 radiculopathy, so my typing is particularly erratic right now. I have a spellcheck plugin but it can't handle larger text blocks. You're welcome to fix spelling errors without pinging me, but please don't change British to American spelling or indeed vice-versa.

Notable Awards

Hi I'm the lead editor of List of awards and nominations received by Britney Spears! so like what you said on the Beyonce talk page is that non-notable awards should not be listed on the awards page but how if add a note to the award title, it is possible counted as an already notable award or still not, I wondering too because I saw on the BTS's page which is a Featured List also do the same thing but someone user:Cornerstonepicker always reverted and it's really offensive me. Please consider this, I'm really tired of him/her messed up with my work I knew that's nothing wrong to help but at least in a good way, also this page current featured list candidate.

For an example this is how it looks;

Award or organizations Year[a] Category Work Result Ref.
Hollywood Beauty Awards[b] 2018 Fragrance of the year Fantasy Won [2]

Notes

  1. ^ Indicates the year of ceremony. Each year is linked to the article about the awards held that year, wherever possible.
  2. ^ The Hollywood Beauty Awards (HBAs) is the annual award show recognizes the architects of beauty in hair, makeup, photography and styling in Film, TV and Music, as well as artists who create celebrity looks for the red carpet and editorial.[1]

So now can I still add the awards that doesn't have a wikipedia page but has a reliable source and secondary sources and note into the award page. Please consider this because the sources I put literally is reliable 😭. Johhnyfrankie13 (talk) 08:29, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johhnyfrankie13, See the article on Hollywood Beauty Awards? There's your answer. Guy (help!) 08:36, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, I mean I would like to include an award that has no article on Wikipedia to the List of awards and nominations received by Britney Spears, but yeah I'll also add a note and reliable reference also with the secondary source. Please consider this because user:Cornerstonepicker always reverted and I felt like all of my hard work just useless because he/her deleted it. Johhnyfrankie13 (talk) 10:15, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Johhnyfrankie13, and I'd like you to include only notable awards, one prerequisite of which is that they have an article. Guy (help!) 14:37, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
But there is no such evidence that says we only can include the award that has article in Wikipedia. As long as the award meet WP:GNG. Johhnyfrankie13 (talk) 11:47, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just read it, I can't do that, wish I could. Thx. -Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 16:35, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Roxy the dog, what, write an article? Yeah, it's a thing I forget about sometimes: good to do. Guy (help!) 16:36, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AfC? What the? GirthSummit (blether) 16:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Girth Summit, two reasons: first, I push newbies and others to use AfC so I think it's right for me to eat my own dogfood. Second, I clearly think this is a notable and important topic and the article is reasonably put together, but I would be the last to claim that I am a neutral arbiter, so it was worth running it by an experienced new article reviewer for a cross-check. Guy (help!) 16:44, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. You were lucky you didn't get the standard multi-month wait that most authors of drafts that aren't easy declines get to enjoy. I added some cats for you (miaow). GirthSummit (blether) 16:47, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed - write an article - I cant do it. My skillz = Snark and a bit of detail pickiness. "You'd love wikipedia" said BobRayner to me all those years ago! -Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 16:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Girth Summit, Thank you :-) Guy (help!) 16:53, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Standing offer: if you ever want to skip the AfC queue, but want a review, I had an NPP hat before I got my admin T-shirt, and will be happy to oblige. GirthSummit (blether) 20:23, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Girth Summit, you are most kind, I will remember this. Guy (help!) 21:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 conspiracy theories and talk pages

Guy: Thanks for moving the article page but there's a discrepancy between the talk pages. The main article talk page is still at Talk:Unofficial Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance theories and the talk archive is at Talk:Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 conspiracy theories/Archive 1. There is also a Talk:Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 conspiracy theories that is a redirect so I can't make the move myself. Can you delete the redirect talk page and move the main talk page to the correct place? Thanks. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:36, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Potentially problematic editor

Hi--reaching out to you because you interacted with this very new editor here in one of a few discussions that have arisen around his various attempts to remove far right descriptions, and especially the phrase "far right", from a variety of pages (and to include "far left" on Unidas Podemos). The editor sometimes seems good-faith, and he has made plenty of constructive edits, mostly in edits to a series of seemingly random topics the first couple of weeks after he registered his account. Since then, there has been not-good edit warring at the Dinesh D'Souza and Unidas Podemos pages, Hadash, Kotlebists – People's Party Our Slovakia, and now the Citizens (Spanish political party) article, where he is not only trying to insert his preferred language but has repeatedly done so while removing other language and the strong source that supports it. There's also been a bunch of "small" edits around typical right-wing issues or subjects to change the wording in unacceptable ways, which are almost always reverted: [1][2][3][4] and the flat-out dishonest edit summary for [5], given the first sentence of the relevant lede. The engagement in talkpages starts out good, but at places like the Dinesh page, the Hadash page, and now the Citizens page, there's a lot of IDHT and some of what looks like classic sealion questioning to me. At the Citizens page, I've referenced what he was told at the Dinesh page multiple times, and there is zero acknowledgment that he's trying the exact same arguments that were soundly refuted already. I don't think this is disruptive enough yet to take to ANI (and he has thus far backed off on edit warring when pushed), but some admin scrutiny might be in order; some of this could get chalked up to the enthusiasm of a new editor, but I also get a whiff of NOTHERE, despite some of the constructive interaction.

Help on discussion?

Hi JzG. I saw your arbitration request for a user I have been involved with, and I think I may be able to contribute a few examples of sustained content and conduct policy problems. For this reason, I am considering adding a statement. However, I have never interacted at arbitration before, and I'd appreciate either 1) a pointer to pages that can help me format a good response or 2) a review of a draft I've typed up at my sandbox. I would love some feedback.

I hope to provide a constructive addition, and I'd greatly appreciate your guidance, given your greater experience. Thanks! Jlevi (talk) 03:54, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jlevi, there's no fixed format, what you have there is fine! Just add a section "statement by Jlevi" and sign it as normal, that is really all you need to do. And thanks. Guy (help!) 08:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Baby and bathwater

I made several revisions to WP:SPIDER in my edit. Please consider partial reversions in the future. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 09:09, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb, you added a completely unnecessary {{humor}} tag (which has been removed several times previously), and made the nutshell boring. ([6]). I'm pretty sure I know the original intent of that policy (check the page history). I don't blame you, btw - for some unaccountable reason somebody thought it was an April fool and nominated it for deletion without notifying me as required, I only found out just now. Guy (help!) 09:18, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so revert just the nutshell and humor tag, then. My point about bathwater still stands. If we're talking about the changes, though, the nutshell was previously completely redundant to the title, so changing it isn't any loss. I think it's a good place to make the essay accessible — not everyone is always going to be in the mood for wading through a bunch of silliness, and a descriptive nutshell that gets across the point allows them to get the message and then go back to more serious editing if that's what they prefer. And regarding the humor tag, project consensus is quite clear that humor pages need to disclose that fact, and a local consensus of reverting patterns at the page doesn't override that. I thought my changes were a good balance between adding some humor and disclosing without killing the joke. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 10:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Try as I might, I cannot see any other changes in your edit. Guy (help!) 10:22, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sdkb, OK, now I see. You removed several long-standing shortcuts, changed the colour of the tick, and added some random stuff, but didn't discuyss disputed edits ont he talk page as the text you removed requires. Srsly, dude? Take of the Spider-Man suit. Guy (help!) 10:30, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If your reverting was, to be blunt, so sloppy you didn't notice which changes you were reverting, then I'm not sure why you're criticising me for inferring that that was what happened and restoring only the part you missed; it was a correct inference. But since you seem to feel even that part isn't an improvement, I went ahead and posted on the talk page. And re the page history, please see WP:OWN. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:34, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sdkb, bye. Guy (help!) 22:38, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability for climate denier statements, especially in BLPs

Hi, I followed the link to Patrick Michaels page from Judith Curry, and found an unsourced statement that he was a climate change denier. The statement seems to have been added by you on the 3rd March. Even if it's true, you know you can't say that without a source, right? Especially on a BLP. "Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it." Or, if you prefer the old version, WP:Verifiability not truth. Merlinme (talk) 22:48, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merlinme, I suspect someone has removed a source - that's a pretty standard tactic from the pro-denialist lobby here. But I will check sourcing, thanks. Guy (help!) 23:43, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
