Well done for your expansion of that article, which I've not touched for a while because of certain elements. Could I suggest that you get rid of all inline cites (using external links in the text)? Rather, it might be better to turn them into proper references. Let me know if you need a hand with that. JFW | <small>T@lk</small> ↗ 20:10, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. In an attempt to achieve agreement to remove the Neutrality tag from the Assessments section of this article, I have edited down what some have seen as the undue weight of laudatory comment in this section, and am now requesting feedback at the article's Talk page. I am contacting you in view of your past work on this article. Nandt1 (talk) 09:54, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Everything you add '''must''' be sourced ↗ to a WP:BLP ↗ article. Please read WP:BLPREMOVE ↗. If you continue to add unsourced info into a BLP article, you risk being blocked. Thanks.

:No, you show some patience with long-standing established policy. Quite frankly, what you've written is shit.

::Dear Lugnuts. I have taken a while to consider my reply to this. In the meantime I have added reference etc to this page. I do hope you consider the content of your reply. Had I not been a fairly self-confident person with many years of editing behind me then I might have been really upset. Talking to admin friends they too worry that such emails would put off new or less experienced editors. (Personally I believe the use of words like 'shit' is not really appropriate in dialogue with a stranger on a wiki.) We really need to encourage people who make edits, even if we feel they have made mistakes rather than flying at them. I hope you take this in the reconciliatory way it is meant.

ArbCom elections are now open! ↗

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election ↗. The Arbitration Committee ↗ is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process ↗. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans ↗, topic bans ↗, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy ↗ describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements ↗ and submit your choices on the voting page ↗. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:30, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

It is Thanksgiving in the US, so thank you!

100px|left|thumb|Two editors collaborating on an article ↗<br>

I am just a regular editor and nothing official like an administrator or Wikimedia contractor...I am an editor probably a lot like yourself. One important thing for me is to express thanks to other editors in a personal message to their talk page. This is not a template. I am just leaving this note for you to express my appreciation for your recent participation in voting for Arbatration Committee Members. Your vote is a great thing and with as many people participating as possible there is an excellent chance that we will have good representation on this committee. The Very Best of Regards,

Celador

Regarding Celador ↗ and cellar door ↗: the reason for not putting the ''Donnie Darko'' snippet in the Celador article is that it's no more relevant to Celador than any of the other examples on the cellar door page. The production company existed first, and nobody's ever suggested that it was the inspiration for the phrase appearing in ''Donnie Darko'', they just both happened to refer to the same pre-existing phrase. If you put the ''Donnie Darko'' fact in the Celador article, then you may as well put any random fact from the cellar door ↗ article on that page. Which you don't do, because the article is about Celador, and the other stuff, including the bit about ''Donnie Darko'', isn't. In a nutshell. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 22:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for creating Alice Diop ↗, YellowFratello!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

<blockquote>May I suggest you create a separate 'Awards' section. This helps users assess her WP:NOTABILITY ↗ more easily. You need to learn how to create links to foreign wikipedia articles. I've edited one ofthese for you, but you should not use them as references.e.g. Aulnay-sous-Bois should just be a wikilink. (see this help page ↗. Please confirm that biographical statements about her early life are fully supported by reliable sources, removing any that are not. See WP:BLP ↗ for help on biographis of living people.</blockquote>

Proposed deletion ↗ of :Leapfrog Press Global Fiction Contest Prize ↗

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

I wrote it in a neutral way as I have always done as an experienced editor - I am not a part of the prize and have never applied for it but it is a gateway for a lot of minority authors as can bee seen by the link. They will not be J K Rowling rich or get the publicity of the Booker but it has been a footstep to being published - the prize money is irrelevant it is about access to and has proved itself the quality of the judges is high.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Carducci String Quartet ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

A tag has been placed on :Carducci String Quartet ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement ↗. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://carducciquartet.com/about/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be blocked from editing ↗'''.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗ for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy ↗ for more details, or ask a question here ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗.

{{divbox|blue|3=I'm sorry, but you haven't made significant progress since the last review: the first sentences are still excessively sourced, whereas other statements don't even have a single citation.

Plus, I'd argue that "This is Not America" might need a separate Wiki-article, since I don't think this is the right place to address the critical reception of the book.}} Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer.

:The guy is a prolific writer and journalist published in all the quality UK press plus with a book that has passed muster with critics. The citations are largely of his work but they are published in places of real repute, the places we rely on for citations.. Others like me will want to know more about him and that is why we need a page about him.
:I could just remove all the citations that start with his name but that would not help those looking for his work.
:I see many other pages about writers that are similar and think this needs to be reconsidered. He has an established position at UCL, a book and is constantly published in the UK quality press. YellowFratello (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
