Sincerely,

Well, it would be easier if you just gave me your e-mail address, I would send you a file. But okay, I just have copied and pasted the text and sent you via wikibox.

I appreciate your reply. Mlody1312 (talk) 16:46, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've managed to collect all the text and sources into my sandbox. Here it is: https://w.wiki/BUqm

Would you please help me with moving it from sandbox to wikipedia? Mlody1312 (talk) 20:17, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there! Unfortunately I’ve never personally created an article, so though I’d love to help there’s many editors more experienced in that area of editing. I took a look at it and based on my experience reviewing GA’s I think it’s definitely worth submitting for review. If it doesn’t get accepted they’ll give advise on how to improve it. Read WP:AFCREVIEW, you’ll get more information on how to submit your draft for review. Kind regards, Robertus Pius (Talk • Contribs) 15:21, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parent categories

Hello!

I noticed that you added the category Category:American film directors to the article for Robert K. Sharpe and Category:American filmmakers to Aaron Schimberg. While it's great to add categories to articles as needed to help improve access, Robert K. Sharpe was already categorized under Category:Film directors from Illinois (a subcategory of American film directors) and Aaron Schimberg was categorized under Category:Film directors from New York City (a sub-subcategory of American filmmakers).

WP:PARENTCAT offers guidance on how to categorize articles and specifies that articles should be categorized under the most specific branch of a category to avoid Wikipedia:Overcategorization. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia!

Hello.

So, what you basically did was to remove two sentences from the lead section, both of which contained information regarding the animal coloration of the described species. I would like to point out and emphasize that this is not any kind of additional information. This is very essential and basic information. The article is about the fur of the gray fox, so a brief summary of the coloration is the most obvious and basic thing that should be in the lead section. I have very limited options on how to reprase this, so I would like to refer to the WP:LIMITED. I also want to mention that without these two sentences, the lead section will be significantly poorer.

But okay, I've rephrased it to some extent. I changed some wording. This is my suggestion (I hope it's okay):

''...type of fur obtained from the gray fox, a species with an exceptional grizzled gray hair color. Its fur features subtle copper red highlights along the neck, sides, and legs, and a certain amount of white is found on the ears, throat, chest, belly, and hind legs. A noticeable dark stripe is formed by black-tipped hairs close to the middle of the back, which extends into a black mane of coarse hair on top of the tail.''

The source would remain the same (Castelló, José R., 2018). I prefer to keep it because it’s relatively new. Mlody1312 (talk) 20:28, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa would you respond please? Mlody1312 (talk) 17:46, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay in replying. Your new version is too closely paraphrased from the source, presenting the same content in the same order, which is still too much overlap. Perhaps instead you could use or adapt content from Gray fox, wnich reads "The gray fox is readily distinguished from the red fox by its obvious lack of the 'black stockings' that stand out on the red fox. The grey fox has a stripe of black hair that runs along the middle of its tail, and individual guard hairs that are banded with white, gray, and black. The gray fox displays white on the ears, throat, chest, belly, and hind legs. Gray foxes also have black around their eyes, on the lips, and on their noses." It later says "The gray fox also has reddish coloration on parts of its body, including the legs, sides, feet, chest, and back and sides of the head and neck. The stripe on the fox's tail ends in a black tip as well." Diannaa (talk) 20:45, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. As you advised, I adapted the content from the Gray fox article. I hope everything is ok now, thanks. Mlody1312 (talk) 21:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, looks okay now. I did some minor tweeks. Thanks for your patience. Diannaa (talk) 21:43, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to bother you. I have created another article. Is it possible for me to get credit for it? It is not showing up in my "Articles created". I know that previously it was a redirect to another page, but now it is a separate article. I'd be thankful. Creating something that someone else gets credit for is demotivating.

@Diannaa would you respond please? Mlody1312 (talk) 07:17, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not replying sooner. The person who is the first to edit a page is the one who gets the articles created credit. It's not possible to change this. Diannaa (talk) 11:52, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
