Invitation to look at edits on IQ reference chart

I see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page.

I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:49, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Innocent (1994 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thriller (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Dailymail

In regards to your edits on Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter, in the realm of Wikipedia, the Daily Mail is not considered a reliable source. There have been many discussions on it, Discussion 1, Discussion 2 and Discussion 3. Thus your edits were reverted. LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:24, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm not from the UK, so I admit I'm not familiar with which UK newspapers are considered reliable, and which are not. But his publicist has officially confirmed and it's reached more reliable news outlets. -Guessing Game (talk) 19:54, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Black Ceiling

Hello, Guessing Game,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Black Ceiling should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black Ceiling .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 09:29, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

It's extremely despiriting to have someone recommend an article I spent two hours on for deletion literally minutes after I created it. I've read WP:MUSICBIO and I don't see how this doesn't (or couldn't) meet the bare minimum requirements. Two articles on this guy (albeit by the same author) were published in The Inlander. There's also the Mishka NYC interview and some other coverage throughout the Internet that could probably be worked into the article somehow. He seems to have worked under several different names, including Dan Ocean and Black Ceiling (which, because it's a witch-house thing, is stylized a million ways, such as Blvck Ceiling and BL▲CK † CEILING). That makes pinning down sources a bit trickier. He may also be more popular in Japan, at least based on the number of Japanese releases pictured on Discogs. This might also be another area of research for someone versed in Japanese. -Guessing Game (talk) 10:02, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of A Mile in His Shoes

The article A Mile in His Shoes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NEXIST. Google of main character's name "Mickey Tussler" shows only 97 results, none of which are suitable secondary sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. voorts 20:45, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
