La Pergola Arte
Hello! Nice work finding this little walled garden. It strikes me as someone promoting their local art community, and/or gallery. From what I have seen it is all suspect material. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks @ThatMontrealIP:, my research into User:Theredproject/Predatory Exhibitions and Vanity Galleries lead me to them. FYI, the best way to see the whole cluster is the list on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lilly Brogi or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lilly Brogi. Maybe you already saw that. But they are split over a variety of places, but the whole set are in these two places.--Theredproject (talk) 18:31, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
notability banner you added
Hi, I noticed you added the "may not be notable" cleanup banner to Brian Kershisnik. Can you tell me more about why you think he may not meet notability criteria? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Rachel Helps (BYU): I added it because it was questionable whether he passed WP:ARTIST, as most of the sources I found were either primary sources, or had passing coverage of the subject. He is included in the Springfield Museum, but based on my experience at Articles for Deletion, I had questions as to whether any of the other institutions would be sufficient to meet NARTIST 4(d); it didn't help that the next sentence talks also mentions three local restaurants. I flagged it, rather than nominating it for deletion, as I felt it may not be notable (rather than is not notable.) I hope that explains why I put the banner there.--Theredproject (talk) 17:17, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- I believe he meets the NARTIST criteria #3, as there is a book about him, and multiple articles in 15 Bytes. As far as the galleries that display his work, the Springville Museum of Art and the BYU Museum of Art are some of the most prominent art museums in Utah. I used the Oxford Handbook of Mormonism for a secondary source that attests to his importance in the contemporary Mormon artist scene, which I believe establishes his notability.

Vanity shows
Hello! Hope all is well with you. Do you happen to notice any vanity shows in this article?ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:51, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice
Hi Theredproject/Archives, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

Zanimum (talk) 17:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)I cam across this about to be deleted as an expired AfC. I was a little startled to find we didn;t have an article on one on the relatively few women who won a technical Oscar. I rescued it, but it needs completion. I'm focussing entirely on rescuing RfCs , & don't havetime for the necessary work, but perhaps you can finish it, or find someone to ask to do it. DGG ( talk ) 03:54, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- DGG, will take a look at share with A+F Theredproject (talk) 12:50, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia contributors map
Hi. I find your Mapping Wikipedia contributors map of US-based IP editors to be a very interesting resource. Would it be possible to license it under a free license so that it can be used on Wikimedia wikis? (Also, did you by any chance create similar maps for other countries/regions?) --Yair rand (talk) 20:14, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- Yair rand, I will send you an email with some more information. I also shared this information with Smallbones in Feb. Theredproject (talk) 21:32, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
