All due respect, you could be more courteous in your edit summaries. Prezbo (talk) 03:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm surprised an experienced editor like you backs up an IP vandal by deleting the content that makes him notable. Find better sources? Go for it, but don't remove what all RS say about him. I'm off to bed. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Valjean:. None of the sources are reliable. Rolling Stone culture issues and Raw Story are both red at WP:RSPS. Sleep well. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
I just created a draft for Draft:Toy Reid. He is central to a major news story that has just come out. I assume there will be more about him as the days go on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 06:39, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Re: BLP noticeboard
We clearly can't risk portraying Democrats in a bad light. This is Wikipedia! We must maintain a unified narrative that always frames the actions of the left as morally superior to those on the right.
I know you were joking in your own way, but your POV interests me in several different ways. I’ve spent the last seven years discussing these and other ideas with conservatives off wiki to try and understand them. I admit, I haven’t made much progress. If you would like to continue this discussion either here or on my talk page, feel free. I’m particularly interested in your conception of moral superiority, which I feel you are projecting on to others. Viriditas (talk) 08:30, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your detailed comment at this discussion. The vast majority of editors who encourage a "merge" in AFDs don't offer any detail on what or how much should be merged in. When people take the time to enter their thoughts in some detail, it makes a quality merge much easier. Joyous! | Talk 04:43, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
Redirects
Hi, I just noticed your edit to Nicholas Gurewitch. Did you know it is now possible to add sitelinks to redirects without first breaking the redirect? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:15, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

HB Brown
It is not trivia. It very directly reflects on his reputation. Knockanar (talk) 20:53, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Knockanar: Welcome to Wikipedia. "Perhaps the public nadir of Brown's legacy.... "? Did you write this? It sounds incredibly like the personal musings of a Wikipedian (i.e. original research), and in any case appears plucked out of a primary transcript, suggesting it's given undue weight. We don't include facts merely because they are true or interesting or useful, per WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:PROPORTION. We summarize what secondary sources have published giving aspects proportional coverage to their prominence in the published literature. And we don't editorialize facts with words like "Perhaps" or "interestingly, or "it should be noted". Other problems with he article include the "Absence of memorials" section: "there are no known statues, named schools or buildings or institutions, or any other memorials to Brown. There has been no book-length biography published about him." This uncited statement may be true, but unless scholars have commented on it, it is WP:OR. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- OK thanks for your explanation; your reasoning makes sense. Thanks for catching it. Best regards, Knockanar (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Would appreciate your judgment
Hi Animalparty!, since you kindly took the time to review my suggestion on Talk:Paul McKenna, another editor has since deleted a sentence according with BLPPRIMARY. The remaining text is now inaccurate. If you have a moment could you please take a look at what I've suggested to fix this without reintroducing the source in question? I'm happy to add it myself but would appreciate a neutral opinion. Memereese (talk) 12:56, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi again, just messaging to say that this seems to have reached a conclusion, but it took a wildly different approach than the one you did when you responded. If you have a moment to review the final article and see if the assessment is fair I would appreciate it. Memereese (talk) 15:32, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
CfD for Category:Blue plaques
Per your rationale for Category:Pennsylvania state historical marker significations (which I just closed as delete), do you think the blue plaques category should be similarly deleted? It seems to have the same problem. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:29, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
Hello Animalparty,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
