The Brilliant Idea Barnstar | |
I have WP:FOUR on my watchlist but don't look at changes very often. I just saw all the work you did there and I thought what a brilliant idea! It looks fantastic and you've made the process make more sense. Here's a barnstar to thank you! — Wug· a·po·des 01:03, 15 January 2020 (UTC) |
Question for you. I see you created Wikipedia:WikiProject Green Bay Packers/Popular pages which I think is terrific. I agree that such a list is more useful in monitoring page views than putting "annual readership" on ever talk page. Is it possible to create such a list for Michigan Wolverines football, for example, covering every article in the master category "Michigan Wolverines football"? Such a list would be tremendously useful and may obviate my desire to add "annual readership" to many of these talk pages. Cbl62 ( talk) 18:45, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Your last revert was just rude. See diff. I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't driven away a few newb editors. -- Timeshifter ( talk) 20:53, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Wikipedia:TALKPAGECLUTTER. Since you had some involvement with the Wikipedia:TALKPAGECLUTTER redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Bsherr ( talk) 04:16, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
On 20 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Willard Ryan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Willard Ryan was the first head coach of the Green Bay Packers, even though the team claims that Curly Lambeau was actually the first? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Willard Ryan. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Willard Ryan), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I made a very minor correction in your close; nothing in your rationale, which was great, but rather, the result wasn't technically a "keep" as that would've meant the Head of the household redirect remained targeted to the same target. Although the disambiguation page had already been started, and we can definitely work on improving it, adding additional links and the like, as I understand it, it's quite common for editors to draft dab pages below the redirect to assist the closer, should the RfD close as disambiguate.
Anyway, great close, but just thought I should reach out. :-)
Cheers,

Hello fellow editor. I left a (somewhat long) response to your proposal to delete the listing on the list talk page. In quick summary, I am not necessarily opposed to deletion, but also fear the loss of what made Favre who he is...and that is his many accomplishments reported heavily in the media over the years. Maybe there is a way out of my concerns of notable things that have historically reported on as notable (whatever notable is supposed to mean by whatever standard is determined to be....a constantly evolving thing perhaps).

wide-spread support for an alternative desysoping procedure based on community input. No proposed process received consensus.

Thank you for uploading File:Willie Wood Packers.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Killiondude ( talk) 21:05, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello. You have participated in the this discussion. I would like to inform you that there is a second nomination. Gun Powder Ma ( talk) 20:15, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
(If you don't mind, I prefer to discuss personal matters on user talk pages, so as not to distract others.) I often prefer to open a discussion before making an assumption about what would be a better solution. In this case, I still believe the best solution is not to include the template at all because I think it creates confusion, but I was willing to compromise, as I think we should all try to be, right? I think we just have different styles, but I will consider greater use of " bold–refine" before opening discussion. WP:BRD also says that an editor who extends to another the offer of allowing him or her to implement a change "shows deference and respect". I was trying to thank you for that, but either I failed to adequately communicate my tone, or perhaps you weren't in the mind to receive the message. I regret whichever it may be. -- Bsherr ( talk) 00:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

I was looking over some tags, and noticed that you created the "New Redirect" tag in January, what was it for? It doesn't seem to be actively used, and appears to be redundant to mw-new-redirect, which is defined by the software. ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 00:39, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

What the Packers' website says shouldn't matter. According to the way "league championships' are tabulated on Wikipedia, the Packers have fifteen. The Jets article says that the Jets have won two league championships, despite both of them being in the same year. Shouldn't all the NFL team articles be consistent? The Jets, Colts, Vikings, Chiefs, and Raiders articles all include their AFL/NFL championships in the years from 1966-1969. Either this article should be changed, or the other five articles should be changed. Politician818 ( talk) 14:56, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for making my story "live." I wrote the entry over a year ago and it was rejected for reasons I didn't fully understand. I read the book a loooong time ago, felt it was significant and was surprised to see there was not an entry on it. I kept meaning to go back and try to figure out why it got rejected. I saw there were things in my mailbox, went in to it and found that you had published the entry. Thanks; I'm grateful for that. I've written two things for Wikipedia on wildly different subjects (Instant Replay and on the Nassau Interim Finance Authority) and would love to learn more about how the system works. Would you be willing to chat with me at <email struck>? I'd like to pick your brain on how the process operates. Many thanks. -- John Kingston — Preceding unsigned comment added by JayKay716 ( talk • contribs) 20:15, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of my requests. I then went ahead and moved the User WikiProject page, and in classic bonehead way, changed "Redskins" in the title to "Football Team". Realizing my mistake, I moved the page again adding "Washington" to the title, see the edit history here. It seems this has created some double redirects, but not sure if they are causing any problems worth worrying about. I think I would need to edit the members user pages if I wanted to fix them, right? -- DB1729 ( talk) 17:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey, saw your edit. Don't doubt you, but also couldn't find the relevant policy, if you could alert me, thanks. Caro7200 ( talk) 13:34, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading.The whole article is only 6-7 sentences, so at this point adding section headers for one or two sentences seems excessive. Now if the article is expanded (maybe a paragraph each covering the background, the plot, the reception, etc), section headers would be more warranted. Hope that makes sense. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
