Central Valley (California)

Hi Castncoot, I was reviewing a recent IP edit ↗ that removed a reference on Central Valley (California) ↗ and found that you'd added it in this edit ↗ back in December. FYI, Astral Codex Ten is considered a self-published blog ↗, so it shouldn't be relied on as a source – the blog post itself seems to cite other sources that you can use instead if they are reliable ↗.

:Okay, thanks for the info. Best, Castncoot (talk) 03:34, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

CoStar Group

Hi Castncoot, I recently suggested some updates to the CoStar Group ↗ article. Given your past work on commercial real estate articles, would you be willing to take a look at the request: Talk:CoStar_Group#Other_activities_section ↗? Thanks very much for your time!

Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas ↗

Hello there! You are invited to participate in the '''Destubathon of the Americas ↗''', a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ ''Dr. Blofeld'' 15:25, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

[St Paul's Cathedral]] move

Hi, I noticed you moved St Paul's Cathedral ↗ to St. Paul's Cathedral (London) ↗. It looks like the Cathedral in London has been at the base name for a while, is there a reason it's not the WP:PTOPIC ↗ any more? Thanks! Rusalkii (talk) 22:14, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
:Hi, I was highly surprised to see it linked to the cathedral in London, England. I was sure it would PTOPIC link to St. Paul's Cathedral (Melbourne) ↗. Always best to avoid ambiguity, I'm sure there must be some readers looking for the London edifice as well. Best, Castncoot (talk) 22:25, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

Relentless street energy....

I've been looking at this edit ↗ for Manhattan and the corresponding New York City edit. The more I have thought about it, the statement comes off as puffery, especially at the start of the section, and using Blade as a source doesn't seem justifiable. I removed the statement from the New York City article, but wanted to reach out to you directly and see your thoughts. Alansohn (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
:Thanks for the input. Let me see if I can find a more typically-considered "encyclopedic" source to convey the same gist. Castncoot (talk) 01:10, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
::{{Done}} Castncoot (talk) 04:57, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
::::Would you like to see the same change made for the Manhattan article? The current statement for that article is probably more spot on a characterization as is, Manhattan being the epicenter of this characterization of the entire city, but I'm happy to change that to this new text as well. Castncoot (talk) 05:10, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
:::::Hadn't seen your reply. The changes are better, maybe not perfect, but better, especially in terms of tone and sourcing. I knew what you meant when you had added it the first time, but it was a bot over the top and the source was iffy; it should be in the two articles the right way. Thanks again here and for all your work. Alansohn (talk) 21:16, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
::::::Will take care of it in the second article as well. Castncoot (talk) 09:26, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
