Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research
[edit]Hello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Take the survey here.
Kind Regards,

Orphaned non-free image File:In-the-Dark.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:In-the-Dark.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:34, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Article for The Tim Ferriss Show
[edit]Hi TipsyElephant, I'm trying to create an article for Tim Ferriss's podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. I see that you are a member of WP:Podcast and that you have started several new articles about podcasts. I hope you'll have an interest in looking at the draft I have posted here. Would you consider moving it to main space? I really appreciate your help, and am happy to hear any feedback you have about the article. Coyoteadventures (talk) 15:41, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Coyoteadventures:, I'd gladly help with your draft. I've moved it to draftspace (here) for further development. The podcast is notable, but the current sources don't demonstrate that. I'll add some reference ideas to the talk page. I've deleted the notable guests section because these are nearly always arbitrary and promotional. Guests can either be listed in an episode table or if there is enough news coverage they can be discussed in prose. Much of the current prose sound quite promotional and fluffy. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encylopedia not a means of promotion. Give WP:PEACOCK a read. TipsyElephant (talk) 00:51, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- I've added the reference ideas to the talk page. If you're having trouble with paywalls just enter the URLs into Archive.Today. Summarize the sources in your own words and stick to facts without flowery language. TipsyElephant (talk) 01:42, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your feedback, TipsyElephant. It has been really helpful. I updated the draft using many of the sources you recommended, and I did my best to remove information that felt promotional. Would you be willing to take another look? If you think it's ready to publish, please feel free to go ahead. And if you think it needs more work, I would be happy to hear your thoughts. Thanks again, Coyoteadventures (talk) 15:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your help, TipsyElephant. The page looks great! Coyoteadventures (talk) 14:17, 9 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Coyoteadventures: you're welcome, glad I could help! I hope you stick around and work on other topics that interest you. Let me know if you want to collaborate on any other articles about podcasts. TipsyElephant (talk) 01:22, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
