Congratulations! You have been awarded the Four Award for your work from beginning to end on The Overlook (Alexander McQueen collection). — Bilorv (talk) 12:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC) |
Congratulations on the award! You're now in uncontested eighth place on the leaderboard. I look forwards to seeing what comes next! — Bilorv (talk) 12:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Bilorv! I appreciate your tireless work in dealing with editor retention stuff like these awards and your challenges page. Are you working on any FA/GAs right now? I just took a peek and didn't see any noms with your name. I really enjoyed reviewing your Black Mirror episode, would love to comment if it goes to FAC. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 17:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks—I've got a few ideas up in the air but nothing in shape to be nominated yet. Black Mirror's latest renewal (for series 7) is a blessing and a curse. I'm saving my Black Mirror energy for the new episodes and updates that will be required across the topic. I'll try to let you know when I next put something up for review. — Bilorv (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

An important note about behavioral guidelines
[edit](Verse 1) Yo, listen up, here's a story untold, About the Wikipedia streets, where the key is to be bold. But hold up, before you throw a punch or a jab, Remember, personal attacks, they ain't fab.
(Chorus) In the world of Wiki, we're writing the script, No room for haters, let's keep it equipped. With respect and unity, we stand side by side, In the credits of this 80s flick, together we ride.
(Verse 2) Now, editing's a battle, of facts and of wit, But when tempers flare up, we don't quit. We talk it out, share a point, or maybe concede, 'Cause in this community, it's unity we need.
(Chorus) In the world of Wiki, we're fixing the plot, No personal attacks, give it all you got. With a keyboard as our sword, and truth as our guide, In the credits of this 80s movie, with pride we abide.
(Bridge) So before you hit "send", take a breath, take a beat, Remember, kindness in this game, can't be beat. Let's make this Wiki world a better place to be, In the credits of this film, it's respect we wanna see.
(Outro) So here's to the editors, the writers, the crew, In this 80s movie credit rap, we salute you. Keep the vibe positive, the community tight, In the world of Wikipedia, let's do it right. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 02:57, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

I realized you have a list of your GA reviews in your userspace so I did a quick compare: the extra ones are Cribbage (pool) and Geology Hall, New Brunswick, New Jersey, for which ChristieBot has credited you with both GA1 and GA2. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 20:13, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- And checking, it looks like you did review the cribbage article, but the other one is an error on the bot's part -- you only reviewed GA2. I'll look into that. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 20:21, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

DYK for The Girl Who Lived in the Tree
[edit]On 14 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Girl Who Lived in the Tree, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Request for help with a peer review
[edit]Hello again. Sorry for the random message. I was wondering if you could possibly help me with my peer review for the Kes (Star Trek) article? I saw your excellent review for the Iron Man FAC so I thought that I should reach out. I am trying to gauge if the article would be appropriate for a FAC. I completely understand if the quality is just not on that level. I am not super confident with it so I intend to keep the peer review open for a while to get as much feedback as possible. I completely understand if you do not have the time or interest. I hope you are doing well and having a great week so far. I look forward to whatever article you bring to the FAC process next after The Hunger (Alexander McQueen collection). Aoba47 (talk) 02:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! You never have to apologize for messaging me, I'm always happy to help out a friend :) I'll put it on my watchlist and try to get to it within a week, but if I let it slip (as I often do), please ping me. I'm doing well and I hope you are too. Trying to decide whether it'll be Pantheon ad Lucem or The Girl Who Lived in the Tree first; they'll both go eventually so it's mostly just a matter of order. Pantheon has a few elegant designs, but is overall pretty boring, so there's a lot less said about it (much easier to write :P). Girl is outstanding from top to bottom, so it's more fun to write, but more work too. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:31, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the response and the kind words! Take as much time as you need. I am in absolutely no rush. I am glad you are doing well. I have been doing better, thank you for asking. I can understand the pros and cons to both choices lol. I agree that The Girl Who Lived in the Tree is more exciting, but a FAC for Pantheon ad Lucem could bring some fun to it (but hopefully not in a negative way of course lol). Either way you go, I look forward to doing a review and reading through either article, and I am sure other reviews feel the same way. I am still very impressed by all the work you have put into the Alexander McQueen collections. Aoba47 (talk) 16:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins

Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II.

- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you today for Oyster dress, introduced: "Once upon a time, Alexander McQueen was known for tight tailoring and sharp cuts. He made dresses, but he didn't make dresses. Then he went to work for Givenchy, where he learned the real art of dressmaking. Channelling his obsession with outdoing British designer John Galliano, he came up with the oyster dress, a riff on Galliano's 1987 shellfish dress that blew the original out of the water. The oyster dress, a full-length gown in layers of distressed beige chiffon that appeared in Irere (S/S 2003), is one of McQueen's most famous designs. Only two copies of the original are known to exist, owned by The Met in New York and Kim Kardashian, respectively."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Regarding the sudden edits
[edit]Fyi, I'm just letting you know that WWE have been doing an ARG campaign lately and a couple of the clues led to the Dusky Seaside Sparrow and Decree 900 articles. That's why it's so sudden. 86.13.203.114 (talk) 01:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I was wondering what the wrestling connection was. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 01:57, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Your welcome. Kinda felt bad seeing so many fans change the article outta nowhere. I think the actual goal WWE had was specific dates and clues in the articles, so I doubt they would've even remotely wanted the changes either.
- I suggest just keeping an eye out for these things during the next few weeks. 86.13.203.114 (talk) 02:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, it looks like there's some kind of connection to June 17. I wish the wrestling people well and all with their ARG but I wish they would think about how annoying this is for other people. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:18, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Question about GA review process
[edit]Hi Premeditated_Chaos, may I ask you a question about the GA review process? I've agreed to do a review on an article, and I think it meets almost all the criteria, but I'm just uncertain about one: the cites. The article is well-sourced, and I've done a spot-check on a lot of the cites, but I've found several that lead to dead links or that don't seem to support the point that they're being cited for. I appreciate that GA review isn't as rigourous as FA, but I didn't see an answer to this in the GA FAQ. Could I put it on hold for a week and let the nominator have the list of cites that have problems? Would welcome your advice. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 22:25, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'm guessing this is for Tamil Nadu? For the dead links, you could try running IABot to see if it can rescue any of the dead links with archived links. There's also some useful ideas at WP:DEADREF to look at. My concern is the failed verifications - those are much worse of a problem. Were they inserted by previous editors or by the GA nom? If they were inserted by earlier editors, that's an oversight but not terrible, but if they were inserted by the GA nom, it's much more concerning. How many instances of this have you found?
- Whether or not to hold, in my opinion, would really be predicated on how many instances and how egregiously off the mark the content is from the source. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. The dead links are older ones, as you might expect, I think before the current nominator came on (it was nominated a decade ago and got a quick fail). The ones that have content issues are ones that are clearly related to the matter under discussion, but just don't quite support the sentence. They're not a big part of the ones I checked. (Yes, it's Tamil Nadu).
- What I did was check every 20th cite, and if it was an online cite, I clicked on it to check. Also checked a few around each 20th cite. (There's 590 cites,and I wasn't going to click everyone that had a link!)
- I think I'll put a hold on it, suggest nominator check the ones I flag, and also consider checking the older links from 2012 or before; I think that's from the previous nominator. Other than this issue, I think it's very well-written, very detailed and good coverage.
- There's also some typos and grammar issues; probably unavoidable in such a big article. I'll wait until the GA matter is decided, and then suggest my changes. I do wonder if part of what is catching my attention is a difference between North American English and Indian English, so I don't want to be too definitive.
- Thanks very much for your comments. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:37, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- By the way, I've been enjoying your McQueen articles. It's an area I know nothing about, but it's fascinating to read. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:38, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, I think your course of action sounds reasonable. "Connected but slightly off" is reasonable and fixable, and if there's not that many of them you can probably chalk it up to editor error; happens to the best of us.
- Glad you're enjoying the McQueen series! They're lots of fun to write, each one presents its own challenge. Hopefully I'll get my next one out of draft and into main soon. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- I just approved the Tamil Nadu article as a Good Article. The nominator was very helpful and responsive in updating cites. Does the Wiki software automatically add the "Good Article" button at the top of the article page? Or is there something more I need to do? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 13:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Once you've taken all the closing steps, the bot will take care of the rest. It runs a couple times an hour if I recall correctly. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 13:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

DYK queue promotions
[edit]I see you promoted three prep sets to queue in a span of a minute and a half and didn't note any issues with any of the hooks. It usually takes me about a half hour to do one set and it's rare that I don't find something to complain about. Forgive me if this is an impertinent question, but are you sure you're giving the review process the full rigor it deserves? RoySmith (talk) 14:14, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- It's a fair question. I give the preps I'm thinking of promoting a scan beforehand, then hit post all at once. It's possible I don't scrutinize to the extent that you do, and certainly possible that I'm less picky about things, for better or for worse. I'm also, to be honest, less vocal about hooks I'm not sure about than I probably should be - I often give those prep sets a pass rather than going to WT:DYK. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:47, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Really? really.
[edit]Yes, really. Literally you gave no reason for undoing my edit of adding a GIF to the Running other than asking if "really?". The article is about running, "a method of terrestrial locomotion by which humans and other animals move rapidly on foot", not just the sport running. So when you were asking me if I really meant to add that GIF -- yes, I meant it, because the article lacks examples of normal people running. Normal people can be anyone, not just athletes or runners as the article shows. That is why, I added the GIF. The GIF shows the gait and upper body movement of a female human body as she runs. While no clear explanation of why my edit was removed, I bring forth an explanation of my part -- which I might add was in good faith. Did you assume good faith from my part? Thank you, I hope this explains the reasons behind my actions. Cheers. TepeyacPilgrim (talk) 19:03, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's a gif of a chick with huge tits, apparently wearing no bra, breasting boobily down the street. Are you seriously, with a straight face, trying to tell me you added it for purely educational reasons? And that there's no other gif which might better illustrate the mechanics of upper body movement while running? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- PMC, if you're interested to look closer, User:TepeyacPilgrim appears to be a sock of User:Miguel Angel Omaña Rojas.

- I'm on my work computer today so although I'm editing, I can't look into this right now for SFW reasons, but I can take a look later. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 15:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

FAC review
[edit]I really enjoyed reading your review of the Singapore MRT station -- having just completed my own review it was like being in a writing workshop to see your notes appear only an hour or two after mine. I wasn't thinking about opposing, though perhaps I should have been; but what really struck me was that I agreed with a lot of your points and then wondered why I hadn't made those points myself. Anyway, I hope you don't mind the random post, but I think your comments were spot on and have made me want to be more precise in my own reviewing.

- I don't mind at all, in fact I'm flattered you took the time to say this. I read your comments as I was going through and found myself in agreement with the majority of what you said. One thing I find FAC doesn't often touch on - and which is weirdly important to me and I wish it would come up more in my own FACs - is flow and organization. I often comment on this at FAC and I'm never sure if I'm just being neurotic. Conversely, I often find myself looking at my articles and thinking the order feels wrong, but I never get comments in that direction so I'm never sure if it actually is flowing fine or if it's just that no one noticed. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:08, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- I agree; I try to comment on flow and organization myself, but when one has a lot of sentence level comments it can be hard to pull away and look at the article at a higher level. Sometimes I'll wait till everything I've commented on is resolved and then read through again, now looking for the higher level issues.
