Hi, Chris - It was good to see you at Emerson. The hive is angry and swarming over his gaffe. I noticed how active you've been in GA, etc. and that's exactly what WP needs - more editors like you who know policy, can write prose and source it properly, and knows what an encyclopedia is supposed to look like. I'm concerned WP's own open source editing can be destructive at times because it opens the door to anyone who holds a grudge, or advocates a cause, etc. Anyway - just wanted to drop by and say thanks! <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.1em 0.1em 0.4em,#F2CEF2 -0.4em -0.4em 0.6em,#90EE90 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#E6FFFF"><b>[[User:Atsme|Atsme]]</b></font><font color="gold">&#9775;</font>[[User talk:Atsme|<font color="green"><sup>Consult</sup></font>]] 23:28, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

::Two misguided notions on your part
::#"...for BLPs we must go even further and consider the subject as if ''they'' are the reader." We are not writing for the subject. If we were, our biographies would turn into hagiographies. We are focused on the general reader who should be reading ''fair'' content.
::#"Where I stand is different from most others, I don't even know Emerson or his work - so I believe that impartiality is something which I have." You do a disservice to your fellow editors by assuming those who don't agree with you have an agenda. For example, both articles we've tangled on were put on my watchlist after they hit the news to watch for BLP issues. I advocate for analysis, something you seem to shy away from. That doesn't mean either of us is not neutral.

Merry Christmas!

I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings".  :)

A brownie for you!

Dear Chris,

Thank you once again for your helpful assistance during my recent push to correct the spelling of 'hurdy-gurdy' in quite a few articles. I am never sure if 'moving' articles is a task restricted to administrators or not but, since I never dared to try moving one, it was great to be able to ask a trusted friend. Thanks once again for being there, Chris! I hope you like brownies?!...

With kind regards;

Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk) 13:53, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Pdebee: Thanks, I ran across the "hurdy-gurdy" the other day in The Actor's Children, but it was only by error in a published synopsis! You better believe I hyphenated. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 14:58, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisGualtieri: Well, if there were a 'Hurdy-gurdy Barnstar', there is no doubting that you'd have deserved it!
Thanks once again for all your kind help, Chris!
With kind regards;

Possible review of cloud article for B-class rating

I remain grateful to you for the help you gave me last Nov/Dec with the GA review of the Wikipedia article Cloud. However, it seems I couldn't get the job done fast enough to satisfy one senior editor who came on a few days ago, falsely claimed I had done no work on the article for 20 days or so, (I had taken a few days off from Christmas to New Years but resumed full-tilt by the time of his intervention) and unilaterally shut down the review. I would be the last to claim the article is yet ready for full GA status, but if the article has come as long a way as you assured me last month, I'm wondering if it can be considered for a B-rating? I've looked at quite a few B articles on Wikipedia and believe the cloud article has about reached that level. The editor who shut down the GA review left the cloud article as a C-level, but the hastiness of his actions leaves me thinking he acted in a somewhat prejudicial manner and never gave any consideration to the possibility of upgrading the article to a B. Do you think the article can be considered better than a C-grade yet? I don't want to waste my time applying for a B-level review if you don't think the article is yet good enough even for this more modest upgrade. However, I think I'll be more motivated to keep working on improving the article if I can apply at some point for a B-grade instead of trying to make the huge leap from a C-grade all the way to a GA. It would be very helpful if you could give the current article another look and offer me an update about the areas where it is still deficient. Many thanks! ChrisCarss Former24.108.99.31(talk) 00:30, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@ChrisCarss Former24.108.99.31: it most likely would work as a B-class. The only real classes which matter are stub, GA and FA for most editors. It is a maintenance issue for Wikiprojects to try and have everything "current". Also, it is a somewhat arbitrary evaluation of a topic and page. I typically hit the ground running when producing content and run for a GA without worrying about updating classifications along the way - outside of "stub" because that causes category and other issues if I do not address it promptly. But to answer your question again - B works. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:40, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Emerson

Hi, Chris - It was good to see you at Emerson. The hive is angry and swarming over his gaffe. I noticed how active you've been in GA, etc. and that's exactly what WP needs - more editors like you who know policy, can write prose and source it properly, and knows what an encyclopedia is supposed to look like. I'm concerned WP's own open source editing can be destructive at times because it opens the door to anyone who holds a grudge, or advocates a cause, etc. Anyway - just wanted to drop by and say thanks! AtsmeConsult 23:28, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Atsme: That is why I avoid BLPs for the most part. As an editor we must consider the reader for all articles, but for BLPs we must go even further and consider the subject as if they are the reader. There is a high chance that said subjects do read what we write and a dedicated site to Wikipedia criticism is routinely pressing how broken the process currently is. BLP enforcement and procedures have strengthened, but maintenance and care of them are still open to those who want to push the ball around. Everyone has a "point of view", to say you don't implies that you are blindly constructing a page. Where I stand is different from most others, I don't even know Emerson or his work - so I believe that impartiality is something which I have. BLPs suffer from WP:DIRT accumulation and a clear sign is WP:CRITS. Wikipedia is not a battleground per WP:BATTLE and I don't want to entrench in "right or wrong" with editors who seek arguments, who have an agenda, or simply cannot figure out what policies actually mean. Anyone intent on Wikilawyering and splitting hairs over things like "Salon" articles for BLP criticism is not in the right place. Getting it right is what is most important, but those that disagree have yet to understand or embrace what Wikipedia strives to be. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 23:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
