Jay Clayton (attorney)

Geraldo Perez, Hi. Nice to meet you. I noticed you are a pending change reviewer, and I would appreciate your help with a request I have posted on the Talk page for Jay Clayton (attorney). My COI with Mr. Clayton, as an employee, prevents me from modifying the article myself. I have taken the input of other editors into account and changed my suggested/requested wording and the supporting sources. I can implement directly if you approve of the content. Thank you for your time and review. Looking forward to working with you to incorporate this content in this BLP, Blackseneca (talk) 16:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not familiar enough with the article to make a judgment on content. I note User:Drmies in the talk page discussion and he can approve changes to content. Geraldo Perez (talk) 16:56, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maia Reficco

Hi there! About Maia Reficco's page, I was wondering if you could protect it? In the sense that it keeps getting edited even when her nationality is already discussed in the Talk page and I don't wanna start an "edit war" since I know it shouldn't be done. LMOBX (talk) 23:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can request page protection at WP:RPP. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:27, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Olivia Rodrigo

I'm bringing up this, as someone made a request on the talk page about changing the lead sentence from "American singer-songwriter and actress" to "Filipino-American singer-songwriter and actress". Someone else made the change per the request, but I immediately reverted before I could complete my reply to the request. I made it clear about MOS:CONTEXTBIO in both my revert and my talk page reply, but I have a feeling some edit war may get going here, so will need more eyes. The article was recently renewed for semi-protection, for about another year.

The one making the request was saying something about people denying that she is Filipino, but I certainly don't agree with that. MPFitz1968 (talk) 07:38, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Watching. Ethnicity is explicitly excluded for mention in the lead. Your comments on the talk page were correct. Geraldo Perez (talk) 07:49, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting my edit on Zendaya

So I see you have reverted my edit on Zendaya. Why? The word I capitalised is capitalised in the film title, so why should it not be capitalised in the article? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 21:38, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See MOS:CT for how titles are captitalized - "from" is one of the words that isn't per explicit example in that article as "Prepositions containing four letters or fewer". I am aware that the film article has decided to ignore the MOS after an RfC, but that exception applies only to that specific article and does not change the general rule for any other article. Geraldo Perez (talk) 21:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also see discussion at Talk:Zendaya/Archive 2 § Spider-Man Geraldo Perez (talk) 22:02, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Geraldo, I believe they may be referring to the film's poster, not the article. Either way, MOS:CT overrides that, as you mentioned. Having said that, at some point down the road, I may try to WP:BOLDLY move the article to the correct casing for "from." Amaury • 22:07, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

Could you explain how you figured that out [1]? I believe you wholeheartedly, I just want to know if there's any specific signs I should be on the lookout for. It's too bad it was a copyvio, I looked on Commons to see if we had a more recent photo than 2011. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Log in to your Commons account and look at image at C:File:Dan_Schneider_2021.png Under the "more" tab at the top is a link to Google Lens which allows image search. Might have to examine a bunch to find the actual sources but I found that one in a NYT article on Schneider. Geraldo Perez (talk) 07:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I didn't realize that was an option under "more". It's always good to learn new things. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also discovered that this has to be enabled through your preferences, but I'm still glad to find out it exists. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 07:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot about that part. I enabled it a fair time ago and didn't remember I had to enable it in preferences. Good tool to have - I use it a lot. Geraldo Perez (talk) 07:37, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dog with a Blog et al

I may need more/closer eyes here and elsewhere. There's been an IP using different IP addresses "fixing" date ranges and adding the incorrect comma to this and other articles. I remember the date comma thing being a sockpuppet thing, I just don't remember who it is. Recently, a named user also tried to insert it on Dog with a Blog. Now, I cannot conclusively say it's the same person as the IP, but it's still adding the same incorrect thing. Will ping MPFitz1968 as well. I don't understand why people refuse to understand this. January 1, 2023,–January 1, 2024 would be incorrect, which means January 1, 2024, to January 1, 2024 is also incorrect. It's still a date range, just written out instead of en-dashed. January 1, 2023–January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024 are equivalent. Amaury • 08:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. MOS:TENSE: ... between October 6, 1997, and May 20, 2002. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 09:36, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tense has nothing do with dates. But the fact that you ended up here means you are clearly stalking my edits. I suggest you knock off the disruption. You need to discuss the actual matter at the article talk page, not here, and gain a WP:CONSENSUS before changing it, per WP:ONUS and WP:STATUSQUO, but that's all I will say in response to your ridiculous argument here, especially since you're stalking my edits, which disqualifies you, anyway. I will not be responding to you further here. Use the article talk page. Amaury • 09:44, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is MOS greentext, which means it is an explicit example of correct usage. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 09:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So two MOS examples to satisfy ONUS. I haven't seen any stated policy granting some "range exception" for DATECOMMA. Hyphenation Expert (talk) 09:54, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MPFitz1968: I will likely need more eyes here. Amaury • 21:04, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
