Lewis Hamilton Win List AFD

Hi Just wanted to notify you of this, seems you were active on similar discussions and AfDs but the Lewis Hamilton win list and other such lists are proposed for deletion. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Formula One Grand Prix wins by Lewis Hamilton 159.242.125.170 159.242.125.170 (talk) 12:37, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Faiza Shaheen - self-published sources

Hi, Re your edit summary comment, "too much sourcing to social media of the BLP.", there is some allowance for this i.e. WP:BLPSELFPUB. Jontel (talk) 16:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC) If you plan to make major changes to the article cf. your edit summary "article requires a lot of work", it would be sensible to discuss it on the article's talk page first.[reply]

Without getting heavy about this, these comments of yours in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Faiza_Shaheen&oldid=1234283271 are really a misuse of the edit summary. This is indicated in WP:SUMMARYNO 'Avoid long summaries. Edit summaries are not for explaining every detail, writing essays about "the truth", or long-winded arguments with fellow editors. For discussions, you should use the talk page.' (My emphasis) and WP:REVTALK 'Avoid using edit summaries to carry on debates or negotiation over the content.' Jontel (talk) 13:17, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies if my edit summary was misinterpreted. I did not mean to denigrate your work on the article so don't feel offended. I am looking to help on this article as I've worked on similar BLPs before. The "lot of work" is more aspirational rather than commenting on its current state or previous work.Cowlibob (talk) 16:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No apologies are required and I am not at all offended and did not misinterpret your edit summary. You are welcome to denigrate my work and I of course welcome your involvement in any article, especially given your experience. I am broadly content with the changes that you have already made to FS. I was just making the technical point that, if you wish to communicate general points about an article to other editors, that is always better done on the Talk page where it is more visible and where other editors can discuss them with you than in edit summaries, where they cannot i.e. WP:TALK 'The purpose of a page's associated talk page is to provide space for editors to discuss editing that page'. I appreciate that they might have been just passing remarks, but they are clearly highly significant for the article if they are expressions of intent. Jontel (talk) 17:36, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
