If you really need that explained: because "more famous" requires some proof that the dodo is more famous than the great auk, i.e. a reference that explicitly states so, which I suspect would be hard to find (whereas the statement that the dodo "is famous" is trivially apparent from just following the article link, and if necessary very easy to source). -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 20:14, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your amazing rewrite on Music for Lovers Only. I created this and other stubs on a large number of easy listening albums last year -- albums that were among the most popular of their day but which have been neglected by Wikipedians as they seem to be no longer appreciated by modern tastes.

I'm sorry for some of the language I used in my edit summaries on Death of Elisa Lam. I had meant to say this yesterday but my real life got in the way.
Having largely developed the article to its present extent since 2014 or so, I was sort of rubbed wrong by some of your edit summaries ( This one seems not to completely AGF to me, and as for this one, I'd refer you to WP:3LA (Just think about that, and the effect it might have on newer editors). And with that many concerns, it's probably better to bring things up on the talk page first ... that's what I try to do in that sort of situation.
That said, you were on the right track anyway. A lot of what you removed and minimized, well ... needed that. In the wake of the poorly-received (but still highly rated, which drove up the traffic and edits on the article) Netflix docuseries back in February, I have to admit that a lot of what you took out actually was more recentist and made more sense to have in the article back in 2014 when it was less of a settled issue that her death was an accident (which, for the record, is what I believe now as well as the official conclusion ... I have made a lot of reverts to the article over the years of editors (usually IPs) who wanted the article to reflect darker aspects of the theories which are either largely speculative or not reported in reliable sources, which was maybe another reason I didn't take so well to your edit summaries). And in retrospect that stuff about the Cecil's past is less relevant today, as well.
I am also glad we seem to have been able to meet halfway on the lede phrasing ... I have insisted for years that it makes BLP1E work better if, when an article is not about an individual person, especially one not notable enough for their own article, but an event (usually their death or disappearance) that centers around them makes clear from the very beginning that it is about the event, not the person, to avoid any coatracking, even unintentional. (It still galls me that the article is not Killing of Chandra Levy but just Chandra Levy).
Anyway, once again, I did not conduct myself entirely the way I should have, and I am sorry for it. Daniel Case ( talk) 20:31, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

TY for all your edits on Karl R. Free — I’m doing my best but it’s a hairy topic. I had no intention to write this but I found the mention of him in the Laning article and it’s escalated! Anyway I appreciate the additional eyes and typing fingers. jengod ( talk) 02:31, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

I'm still worried about Tchaikovsky. I fear it'll need a huge rewrite at some point—it's just not near the quality of our other composer FAs. Hugely choppy and messy life section (Childhood section is nine paragraphs???); pretty awful and surface-level music section; and barely informative Legacy section...

I disagree with the edit notice for your revert on Prokofiev. There is no "warning template", but a hidden notice. The notice doesn't "warn" or "urge" but request. It's a recommendation, no more, the result of a 2010 project RfC, and in no way binding. The first step to overcome the silly infobox wars is watching language ;) - We can do it. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:41, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Well, it seems that I deleted the discussion instead of adding an answer. Sorry. By the way, could you explain how to change a title of a page, I'm afraid that I have met some Japanese nationalist-extremist who doesn't want to follow the processes (referring to the Tokkō article.)
