Mentorship

Hey, would it be possible for you to become my mentor? :) I found you on the Adopt-a-user page. I've already collected some experience in areas like the german Wikipedia, Liquipedia, the Jedipedia and the Wookieepedia, but now I also want to edit some things here, with a focus on Lists of movies by their studios as that is a natural interest of me. However, I could definitely use some help in certain areas to find my place here. CanePlayz (Jacob) (talk) 20:42, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hey, Jacob! I received your messages on Twitter and will be reaching out shortly. I haven't had the honor of adopting another user yet, so this may be a bit of a learning experience for both of us, but I'm confident it'll go well. We'll probably start by going over some of the basics of contributing, and then we can explore some other areas of Wikipedia to see if anything else piques your interest.

How to get the page public

Hi Bsoyka,

Thank you for offering your help to the vast internet. I just started a page for an artist that has been overlooked for many years: Lalan (artist). After my page got approved, I am still not able to find the Wikipedia page of her online. Can you please help me?

Many thanks--1991taikwun2021Kfh2021 03:45, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Phil Solem - Rembrandts

Hi Ben,

Thank you so much for your response about wanting to ad a Page for Phil Solem of the pop duo, The Rembrandts. I just have a few questions/clarifications. I know you are not an admin, and just a volunteer, so the information below is just for background so you can tell me the best way to proceed.

My relationship to the band is I am a close friend of the two principals, Danny Wilde and Phil Solem, and I've written songs with them, a couple of my songs are on a Rembrandts album, and more of my songs are on Phil's solo efforts, so I for sure have a conflict of interest!!! I understand that.

I am not being paid to do anything for them now, I run their Facebook page but I do that for fun. I have never been paid by the Rembrandts to do anything. However, I have earned royalties for the songs I've co-written with them through ASCAP.

I feel Phil should for sure have a page. He is not just a 'band member'. The Rembrandts are a duo, not a band, and Phil is 1/2 of that duo. Danny has a page and so should Phil! They both co-wrote and recorded one of the most popular songs ever recorded (The Theme from Friends - I'll Be There For You) as well as several other charting singles and albums, and songs that have been in big-budget Hollywood movies (Dumb and Dumber, to name one) and they also did the theme song to the children's show, Thundercats. I don't see how Phil doesn't deserve to have a page!

It seems like I should be able to be consideres a reliable source, although I don't really know what that means technically. I pretty much know everything about the band and the guys as artists and as people.

I want to be 100% on the up and up, and I'd like to contribute to Wiki for other things as well. My intention is to only offer factual information, and contribute to Wiki.

So where do I go from here? My first concern is to get a page up for Phil. I can provide all of his biographical info, as well as his professional accomplishments. His career extends beyond just what he has done as part of the Rembrandts. For example, he has played and recorded with Dwight Yoakam, Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits), and David Palmer (of Addicted To Love Fame) just to name a few.

Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated. I want to do this right. Best

MichaelLouisTienken (talk) 03:27, 12 August 2021 (UTC) Michael Tienken

@MichaelLouisTienken: You seem to have a pretty big WP:COI, so I'd advise you to stay away from directly contributing to any articles on the topic. The COI page has more info on why.
You could, however, try writing the article through the WP:AfC process, where someone would review your draft before making it into a real article. Keep in mind that, no matter what you do, you'll need other sources to back you up on everything, and those can't really include you unfortunately.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sticker Mule requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Notice

The article Ric Elias has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BLP with refs that are announcements and PR.

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. scope_creepTalk 19:59, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Hey, scope_creep! Would you mind elaborating a bit on this one? As far as I can tell, the article isn't really based on announcements/PR. Although, there's probably a borderline notability concern here, but that's a separate concern it seems. Thanks! Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 02:34, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
The first ref is primary and can't be used to establish notabilty, the 2nd is primary and third one Ric Elias woke up in the middle of the night. His gut churned and his mind raced. is straight up PR. scope_creepTalk 07:27, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

September 2021 Guild of Copy Editors newsletter

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter

Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021.

                 Current and upcoming events

September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today!

Drive and Blitz reports

June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here.

August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Other news

June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added {{cleanup tense}} to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive).

Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above).

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis.

To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Adopted

Hello! Looking to be adopted. I am not new, but I have no clue. I certainly need to be guided because this is a very new world to me. Thank you for offering to adopt new comers. 212.98.152.53 (talk) 12:23, September 22, 2021 AbirWard (talk) 12:24, September 22, 2021

Hey, AbirWard! Can you just confirm that this was your message really quick, since it was added as an IP? I'd be happy to adopt you, just making sure here! Bsoyka (talk · contribs) 15:31, September 22, 2021
Hey, Bsoyka! I am not sure I am doing this right. I feel so ignorant here (facepalm). I hope I did not mess your page, but yes, it is me, Abirward AbirWard (talk) an hour ago — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbirWard (talkcontribs) 11:24, October 1, 2021 (UTC)
@AbirWard: Yeah, that messed it up a little, but it's all good! (This conversation was archived because it was inactive for a week, and you seem to have reverted the page back a few revisions to bring it back. In the future, just start a new section. ) Also, please make sure to always sign your messages by adding four tildes (~~~~) at the end, which will be replaced with your signature. Not using that will make pings not work, etc. Thanks for letting me know this was you! Check out your adoption academy page at User:Bsoyka/Adoption/AbirWard.
