If you ask me to copyedit an article and I don't get round to it, that probably means I've forgotten as I'm poorly organized. Feel free to ask me again. I like copyediting. |

was reading through the amount of changes that have been attempted on Graham Linehan, the amount of stuff you've had to revert is unreal, it does need looking at, I wouldn't know where to begin. That wiki page has been ruined. S2ewey ( talk) 16:56, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Make your article accessible and understandable for as many readers as possible. Assume readers are reading the article to learn. It is possible that the reader knows nothing about the subject, so the article needs to explain the subject fully.

Thank you for working so diligently and carefully on English band Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Your edits, reverts, explanations and discussions have greatly elevated the writing quality and format of the article. All the best. Miki Filigranski ( talk) 16:25, 1 December 2023 (UTC) |

First of all, I want to state that I appreciate the "thanks" I received for the edit I made to Off the Wall today. I also wanted to let you know that, since we talked about false titles on the OK Computer talk page, I've been going through and removing them from various music articles, using your essay as my edit summary. I've been doing this for about two months now (feel free to search "WP:FALSETITLE" in my contribution history; the earliest use of it I can find in an edit summary is from late October), and even though I mostly focus on the intro sentences -- "[Insert album name here] is the [number]th studio album by [nationality] singer/band [artist]," adding "the" between "by" and "[nationality]" -- I am increasingly trying to dig into the meat of article and remove false titles where I see them. I'm mentioning all this because of the fact that we had that semi-dispute over false titles six months ago, and I've been using what I learned from that discussion when I spot false titles in articles. You taught me something about the English language that I'm surprised I never knew before then, and I wanted to come here to thank you for that: not only did I learn something new, I'm applying it to my editing of Wikipedia now. Cheers! JeffSpaceman ( talk) 23:57, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Only marginally related to elegant variation, but I thought you'd be amused by how much fluff I could remove from this article. -- Macrakis ( talk) 20:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi
I disagree with your deletion of the Kele Okereke quote. There is no implication that Okereke is speaking for anyone other than himself, so I don't see how it fails the Wiki standard you cite.
I suggest also that a direct quote from a guitarist influenced by Greenwood is of more significance and interest than the almost parodically inconsequential "In 2008, Guitar World named Greenwood's guitar solo in "Paranoid Android" the 34th-greatest. In 2010, the Rolling Stone journalist David Fricke named Greenwood the 48th-greatest guitarist, and in 2012 Spin ranked him the 29th. In its 2023 list of the greatest guitarists, Rolling Stone ranked Greenwood and O'Brien joint 43rd".
I suggest also that Okereke's statement about keyboards was not meant literally, nor would it be interpreted that way by most readers.

Hi there, I'm not sure where you meant to put it, but one of the citations you added in this edit removed the short description at the top of the article. I just removed the citation template and re-added the short description for now. MacAddct1984 ( talk | contribs) 18:31, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
I don't care enough to try to change this, but I'm not sure it's trivia when multiple reliable sources use the band's preferred stylization? Seems like you're just...not calling the band what they want to be called? Alyo ( chat· edits) 15:22, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello Popcornfud. I've tried to talk to the editor AlNahyan about WP:FALSETITLE, which I've started taking on board as it makes sense, but this editor has repeatedly removed "the" preceding artists' names in articles as it's "just an essay", even slow-motion edit warring (which I've alerted an admin about) here. Their first edit removing the "the"s called them a "typo". I'm sure you've com across a number of editors about the place who disagree with the false title issue so you may not care about another one, but just letting you know there are pop music editors who are actively removing any attempt to integrate them.

I noticed you've done some copy-editing of this page today. Shouldn't the intro be "The Smiths were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1982, composed of the singer Morrissey, the guitarist Johnny Marr, the bassist Andy Rourke, and the drummer Mike Joyce"? Let me know. Thanks. Rodericksilly ( talk) 21:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
Sorry, not sure if I'm doing it right. The film Disappear Completely is available on Netflix, the name is obviously inspired by the Radiohead song and it uses the song in the outro/end credits. That's why I thought it was worthwhile to add it. 66.215.205.167 ( talk) 14:52, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Can we please put this excellent summary in mainspace (main essayspace)? I see it cited so regularly across my watchlist (just this week: [1] [2] [3]) but it seems strange to cite something currently in userspace. Even if you don't feel it's ready to be put forward for MOS yet, mainspace would be preferable (even though it should definitely be in MOS). Best regards, Cambial — foliar❧ 13:45, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
