The Dollop draft article
Hey, saw your post in the Teahouse about wanting to work on improving Draft:The Dollop. I'd be happy to help out with that if you like, I had a quick look around and found some sources that might help push it into passing the requirements of WP:WEB. Let me know if you're interested. Daduzi talk 13:06, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks User:Daduzi, that'd be a great help. Along with expanding on the article, I was looking to include a listing of episodes/titles/length, etc. If you think that'd be useful and worthwhile, I can start getting that together in the next few days. - NsTaGaTr (talk) 13:52, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- For now, I'd say the main priority should be adding stronger sources so that the article can pass notability requirements. A complete episode list might actually harm the chances of the article passing, as it wouldn't be backed by a strong source. There might be a case for a "notable episodes" section, however, with mention of episodes that attracted independent reporting or further action (e.g. the episode on competitive tickling leading to Dave and Gar
yeth recording comentary on Tickled. The full list could always come later. The first task, though, is assembling any mentions of the podcast in regional, national or international media, and incorporating information from those sources into the text. To that end, here's a list of sources I've found (ones marked with in bold would be considered strong sources):

If we can smoothly integrate all of the starred sources into the article, I think that should be enough to pass review. I'll be willing to help out in any way needed. Daduzi talk 15:32, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I think I was probably seeing this in the grand 'completed' state instead of the smaller chunks of 'what needs to be done first, then the rest later'. What a noob. ;) - NsTaGaTr (talk) 17:21, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
- No problem, the whole process of passing notability requirements can be hard to follow. Looking around, I think a good model to follow for the article would be [[1]]; I can get started on the "background" section later today. Daduzi talk 01:49, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- OK, I've done the background section, feel free to take a look and improve it further. The article still needs work though. As a draft to-do list I'd say we need to:
- Change as many references as possible to point to outside sources (i.e. not the Dollop websites or links to podcast episodes)
- Add a "Reception" section as in WTF with Marc Maron, including examples of positive reviews, awards and chart performances
- Add a "Notable episodes" section, referencing any episodes that were reported on by other sources
- Format references to include as much information as possible; especially author + source names, ideally with the source name linked if it has on article on Wikipedia
- Final cleanup
Let me know what you'd like to focus on, if you think there's anything else that needs doing, and if there's any help I can offer. Daduzi talk 08:37, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- I go to sleep, and when I wake up, stuff is done. What magical world is this? :D Adding the sections is easy enough, and getting the text added/sourced should be fairly easy. My only limitation is that our internet is heavily restricted here at work, so I'll end up doing most of the edits for this after work at home. I'm in no rush for this to get done (*I don't want it to be sloppy*), and I want to see how well I can do (*since I'm still new to this whole process*), so we can readdress this in about a week. That should give me adequate time to sit down and put in the effort that it needs. Most of all, thanks for your guidance and assistance. I appreciate the support. - NsTaGaTr (talk) 14:12, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Silent revert
Hi there, care to explain this reversion, please? You didn't include an edit summary. Also, status quo version included King Obama, and I was the person who first raised the issue on the exclusion. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:14, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- My apologies - I thought I had undone the change once I saw the discussion on the Talk page. - NsTaGaTr (Talk) 22:15, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. :) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:19, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Please explain
You have tagged Wheel construction for copy-edit, grammar and tone improvement. GrammarFascist has already edited the page for this. Could you please explain what improvement of grammar, tone should be made. Thanks after answer. Sinner (talk) 09:19, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- I've made readability and grammar changes to the article -- if you're okay with the changes, then the tag can easily be removed. There is a sentence of "Casting is also of many types with different effects." I have no clue what this sentence is supposed to convey, so I couldn't reform it; as such I've left it in place. Hope this helps. - NsTaGaTr (Talk) 13:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- 12 Hours ago, Wheel construction had three issues, after removing copy-edit tag, no issue has remained. Currently I don't find any objectionable content there. Thank you very much. Sinner (talk) 14:25, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Only raised the issue of close paraphrasing at Talk:Wheel construction. I'm going to see if I can reword the article enough to deal with this concern, which I think is still a serious issue with the article. (I think I do understand what the sentence quoted above is meant to convey, so I will hopefully be able to address that issue too.) And Sinner, I appreciate your thinking that my copy-editing should be the final word, but in fact I am as fallible as any other editor, so there was nothing untoward about NsTaGaTr tagging the article for further work. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 23:52, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

This revert
Sorry on the inadvertent revert at Poverty Point. –Ammarpad (talk) 20:51, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
- No worries at all - I presumed that we were both hitting it at the same time. :) - NsTaGaTr (Talk) 20:55, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
