Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pilot (My So-Called Life), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ABC and Tom Irwin. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'm very sorry. Thank you for notifying me. I was just wondering why the My Chemical Romance articles do not have any genre listings. Could you possibly clear that up for me? Thanks. BenLinus1214 (talk) 00:32, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Joey Graceffa redirect

Right, I don't understand it either. Yes, please do get an admin to help. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:30, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Beats me. I thought that when I posted this to the redirect board that an admin would respond. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:42, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism warnings

Hi. I noticed your edits at User talk:Da13rlene An3dre2ws1. When issuing warnings, if the user had already been warned recently you need not start your warnings at level 1. In this case the user (a prolific vandal already) had received a level 2 warning. You certainly could have issued level 3 and 4 warnings. You're not the only editor that has made this mistake but they should've known better. It took far too long for our other editors to bring admin attention to the problem. Thanks for what you're doing. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:51, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I'm pretty sure that it was a Twinkle error on my part. I previously added vandalism warnings manually, and I thought that Twinkle automatically went to the right level of warnings. Sorry again and I'm glad the person is blocked now! :) BenLinus1214talk 01:20, 25 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

19:23:37, 26 January 2015 review of submission by Rcampbell24


BenLinus1214,

I am the art history professor that oversaw this student project by rcampbell24. When her article was first reviewed in December (as an article on "Diego Rivera"), it was understandably rejected because the student did not follow directions. Among other things, the article was not on Diego Rivera (there was another article for the artist), but about a specific mural. She and I made significant edits and resubmitted under a new (and more accurate) title "The History of Mexico (mural)."

You declined this article because "This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Diego Rivera, which is also waiting to be reviewed." It is not really a duplicate. The title is different, which may be why it seems like two similar articles. The first article (the one titles "Diego Rivera") should not exist (and it is not waiting to be reviewed because it was already rejected). This article is replacing it. So, I would appreciate it if you would actually review THIS article (The History of Mexico (mural)).

I'm sorry for the confusion. I've never had a student title their article incorrectly, so this is a new issue for me. I appreciate your help.

Thanks, Meredith Shimizu

Rcampbell24 (talk) 19:23, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thanks for clearing that up. I've reviewed the actual article and it looks pretty good! I just have a few comments (which are also posted on the AFC page): the first section (on "The Artist: Diego Rivera") should probably be deleted—that part DOES duplicate the artist article. In addition, on the "Interpretation" section, make sure that all of the claims are sourced or verifiable (to not do so would be considered original research). In addition, if you and your student would like (this would not be required to pass a review), the article could use an infobox at the top of the page (see Template:Infobox artwork for more information). If either of you has access to the original work, you could snap a high-quality picture of the artwork, upload it to Wikimedia Commons, and put it in the infobox as well. Good luck! (Also, please post a message on my talk page when it's ready to be reviewed again--that way it won't take months to get reviewed). I look forward to reading it again! :) BenLinus1214talk 21:46, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Young and Wild (album)

Your comment was - Please remove phrases like "rip the twins off". In addition, your use of first-person phrases indicates a close connection to the subject or you being the subject. In that case, this article is strongly discouraged.

If your so intelligent why don't you tell me what to use instead of "rip the twins off". I am not using first person phrases, and I do not have a close connection to the subject. I'm not the subject either. I'm just a fan. I've been editing wiki because Cherie Currie is going to release a new album soon, so I thought it would be nice to have a page for one of here most recent music releases. I don't know why you are being so rude. I do not agree with your comments. If don't like the phrase "rip the twins off", then change it. I am open to help with editing. I hope you can forgive me for attacking you on your talk page. I can see we started off on the wrong foot, but I hope we can get through this and give Young & Wild a great wiki page.

It's okay. The bold was uncalled for, and I actually made a mistake. Sorry about the first-person phrases thing--during a quick pass-through, I didn't see the quotes around the fraud point. :) I would replace "rip the twins off" with "Kim Fowley tried to engage in intellectual property infringement by releasing the album without Cherie or Marie's approval." It's more formal and encyclopedic. I didn't change it because Articles for Creation reviewers are not supposed to contribute to the article before reviewing so as to be unbiased. Looking at the article some more, I have just one other comment--you should not have that many external links. External links should be limited to two or three at most. AllMusic, Discogs, and Raven Records are the ones I would keep. When you've resubmitted it, send me a message on my talk page so it doesn't take several weeks to be reviewed. Good luck, BenLinus1214talk 02:55, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the helpful advice. I fixed everything you asked me to and resubmitted it.

It's done. It's now published. Good luck in the future. Have you considered creating an account? That way, you can create pages yourself without going through the tedious Articles for Creation process. BenLinus1214talk 23:24, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1 I did not create that page 2 I live in Suffolk and this person is very popular where I am from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiritualhobo (talk • contribs) 02:37, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that you didn't create the page. However, please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. It is very important for admins to assess whether the article meets the criteria, so please don't remove them. However, you can voice your opinions on the talk page.

Request on 06:16:18, 11 February 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Johnpalisano


Hi, Ben! Thank you so much for taking the time to look over my first article. Obviously I missed something along the way. I have an interest in music and literature, especially popular fiction, and look forward to adding in those subjects. I would love any pointers on how to make this article pass the grade. I was not able to find much more than the Billboard listings of his singles as a more tangible reference. Many of the articles were on websites and such, and I did not include them as they seemed local or may fall into 'self-published'. However, he's had some major accomplishments, like co-authoring a Billboard #1 single, so I thought he should be noteworthy. I imagine it's just assembling enough neutral proof? Thank you again! John


Johnpalisano (talk) 06:16, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there,
Thanks for contacting me. Websites are perfectly fine sources, as long as they're not Wikipedia or anything unreliable. Billboard listings are fine, and the subject seems perfectly notable, but maybe a shorter article is a better idea if you can't find sources to support everything that's stated. A stub would work for this person, and I think it would be more manageable to write. Feel free to ask any more questions! BenLinus1214talk 17:24, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I spent some time researching and re-writing and simplifying the article. I've just re-submitted it. Thank you so much!

Presentation proposal for Wikimania 2015

How to pick up more women...
Hello to the members of WikiProject Women writers! Victuallers and I have developed a proposal for a talk to be presented at Wikimania 2015. It's titled, How to pick up more women -- as in more women editors and more women's biographies. The proposal review process has begun and there's no guarantee that this proposal will be accepted. That's where you come in. Please review our proposal and give us feedback. Ultimately, we hope you add your name to the signup at the bottom of the proposal which signifies you're interested in the talk (it does not signify you'll be attending the event). Thank you!

08:46:08, 26 February 2015 review of submission by LShields33


Hello, I'm not requesting a re-review yet; I wanted some help on citing the rest of the article. For the 'early life' section, the information there came directly from the person the article is about. It is not published anywhere on the web, she directly sent me information about herself on it, as per my request. Is it not usable if it can't be backed up on the web? For the 'citation needed' put on the 'Personal Life' tagline - why is that there? What is needed, proof that she lives in Sarasota? I don't understand. For the very first 'citation needed' on the first paragraph of the article - what needs a citation, specifically? Thanks, LShields33 (talk) 08:46, 26 February 2015 (UTC) LShields33 (talk) 08:46, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The information doesn't have to be verifiable on the web per se--it could be any medium. Unfortunately, the person just telling you the information doesn't really translate well in an encyclopedia article. If none of this information can be found anywhere, I would honestly just remove most of it--it's still a good article without going into all that detail. :) Biographies, and biographies of living people (BLPs) especially, need many citations. Anything that could possibly be challenged or presents facts about the person needs a citation. I know it doesn't seem fair that BLPs need such rigorous citation practices, but this is to ensure that false information is not presented. I don't see anything about Sarasota in the personal life section, but it does need another citation, as the facts that she has no children and moves around must be Verifiable. For the very first paragraph, what needs a citation are the facts that she won or was nominated for these awards. That one shouldn't be that hard to cite, as I presume the awards all have lists of nominees on their websites. Good luck, BenLinus1214talk 14:38, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

01:42:58, 3 March 2015 review of submission by Chrissy.nesbitt


Hi! Thanks for taking the time to review. I've added a handful of citations, including the specific subsections you suggested. I don't have a good feel for what is overdoing it and what is reasonable. I can add more if more are necessary.
