Macintosh Revert

Since when was good grammar "spam"? I'm a real person contributing to the clarity and accuracy of various Wikipedia articles. I can grammatically explain my edits below and see no reason they should be reverted:

The comma before "which" is necessary because it always introduces a nonrestrictive clause. The comma after "by the end of 1994" isn't necessary but helps with clarity after an introductory phrase. The first word after a colon shouldn't be capitalized if it begins a dependent clause. This article is written in American English about an American company, so "their" should be "its" in both cases since collective nouns are singular in American English rather than plural (the word is referring to "Macintosh"). No comma necessary before "but came to be known..." since it's a dependent clause. "And the desktop" should be removed because according to the wording before the parentheses, it's clear that all four computers listed inside are desktop computers, so it's only redundant and makes it more difficult to understand.

(The link that was changed, though, wasn't me - or perhaps accidentally. So I guess that needs to be fixed, but all other edits should at least be welcomed, if not needed.) JustAMuggle (talk) 18:02, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

It wasn't your edit, but several in between where I reverted it to that it would have taken a substantial rewrite to get it to the non-spam version created by several spam IPs and accounts. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:04, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Cæsey / Rufus Rose

Not sure what your opinion on this is, but do you think there's any chance that Cæsey is I Love Bridges? I saw Rufus Rose's edits at test.wikipedia, where they added back a test wiki site which is run by Xauroflaux (an account tagged as ILB sock on the talk page, later IP on that talk page belongs to ILB). The additions at test.wikipedia were also previously done by ILB sock (Comfycozybeds). -★- PlyrStar93 →Message me. ← 00:22, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Kathleen Hogan thanks and category typo

First - thanks!

Second, in the "give them an inch and they take a yard" department, could you please be even more kind and correct right at the very bottom of that page, where it says

[[Category:Stanford Graduate School of Business alumn]]

- twice! - and make it instead say

[[Category:Stanford Graduate School of Business alumni]]

19:03, 15 May 2018 (UTC) Review of Draft:Liara Roux

Hello, Chrissymad. On 15 May you marked my draft as unfit for publishing due to a lack of reliable sources. I've reviewed WP:RS and I'm still unsure which of my sources would be considered appropriately reliable, and which are not. I was hoping you could shed some light on which of my cited sources you found to be insufficiently reliable, so that I may make edits to the draft to get it up to code before submitting for review again. Thank you. Labot2001 (talk) 00:17, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Review draft: Paul Bulencea

Hello Chrissymad. On May 17 you declined my submission again, with the same arguments as before, even though I have edited it quite radically, especially the sources, which I consider reliable. Can you please help me little bit more, stating why it seems to be not notable or reliable. The advertisement purposes you are mentioning are really not the case (and not necessary for this person in this way).

Hofbrau

Can you please explain your reversion of Hofbrau to a version that is devoid of all regional distinctions regarding California hofbraus? The distinction has existed since the earliest revisions of the article in 2006, and your deletion provided no explanation. The information you deleted is sourced and notable, particularly important since a link to a disambiguation article is provided. California hofbrau is not the same as German hofbrau. 67.170.206.242 (talk) 02:48, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

  • The information is unreliably sourced, and it seems to me that you are unduly restricting this article to one region. But that's just me. Drmies (talk) 02:49, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
Regarding the sources, it's true that there is not very much to speak to the regional importance and prevalence of hofbrau to California, specifically Northern California. This style of food service simply isn't as common once you venture farther east than Nevada, and it's unlikely that anyone will ever write a book about it. My guess about why previous versions of the article included a "last remaining hofbraus" list that was so prevalently Californian is they were trying to emphasize that point. Anyway, California hofbraus aren't German beergardens. They are a specific type of carvery-based cafeterias, and I'm not trying to champion anything that wasn't previously written by others who also know the difference (until deleted with no explanation by drive-by IP accounts and re-deleted by Chrissymad). 67.170.206.242 (talk) 03:01, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Jessica McKenna

Hello, I see you’ve read requested speedy deletion for my article Jessica McKenna. The article has several citations, is written in a neutral tone, and is about a someone with several notable credits. Can you please clarify what you feel is wrong with the article? I’d be happy to fix. †Basilosauridae❯❯❯Talk 15:01, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

It's incredibly promotional, even in just the first line but throughout the entire thing and hinges entirely on exaggerated poorly sourced fluff. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:02, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
The only line that had any “exaggerated fluff” is the first line, which is cited. Multiple citations can be found that support that she is known and lauded for musical improv. However, if you don’t feel it is appropriate for the article, the line can be easily deleted and does not warrant deleting the whole article. I think if you were to review again, you would find that is the only part of the article that could be considered “exaggerated” as the article is written in an encyclopedic tone. If there are other examples you feel don’t match the tone, I’d be happy to adjust them. †Basilosauridae❯❯❯Talk 15:07, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
The entire article is based on sources which are basic listings and a single local paper review. So it's still promotional because it's not based on what independent reliable sources say either and is very coatracky. This is just far too soon for an article on her.

Your draft article, Draft:Maryland's 46th legislative district

Hello, Chrissymad. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Maryland's 46th legislative district".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. » Shadowowl | talk 18:09, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Shadowowl Please use some common sense when tagging g13. I'd hardly call a draft on my userpage that says "Currently working on" abandoned. Some due dilligence is appreciated before mass tagging abandoned drafts, particularly when they're not at AfC and an editor is still highly active. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:12, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Slap a {{Promising draft}} on it or move it into userspace. The backlog is currently higher than 1000 and I am sorry for any inconvenience. -- » Shadowowl | talk 18:15, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Shadowowl I find it highly inappropriate to put promising draft on my own content but your AfC backlog comment makes absolutely no sense. It's never been in the AfC queue and does not contribute a single bit to the backlog. Please stop mass nominating g13 in general. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:20, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Ok. I will not CSD tag any more of your articles. -- » Shadowowl | talk 18:22, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
Shadowowl It's not about what I've created but mass nominating potentially notable topics of g13 in draft space - particularly those that are not in the AfC queue just based on the fact that it's reached a certain age is bordering on disruptive. Please actually look at what you're nominating before just slapping g13 on it because "it's old." CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:24, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
I take a look at everything. But 95% is just
  • Things that could be deleted for G11
  • Blank pages
  • Unsourced articles
  • Unsourced stubs about cricket and basketball.
  • Declined drafts -- » Shadowowl | talk 18:27, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
You're missing my point, Shadowowl. You made a fuss about drafts contributing to the backlog, so why waste time tagging g13s on stale drafts that have no impact on the backlog, instead of focusing on the actual backlog? I find mass tagging of g13s to be disruptive when it's done without care. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi friend

Regarding my article Eduard Irimia, there is not a fan perspective at all, I just mentioned some of his names since he is a promoter. Lou DiBella and other great boxing promoters have the same. But the guy is a great guru of kickboxing. I just moved the TV production part on Superkombat (his current kickboxing promotion) where it belongs. It's also ok to announce the Creed II part because he is lauching to film industry. I wrote about philanthropy and awards because Dana White and others have the same. This is his CV and history, some other kickboxing user already helped me to rewrite it and to brush it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ILoveCasablanca (talk • contribs) 18:33, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

You may want to revise this to keep your own hands clean, and then review the how-to info at the WP:Conflict of interest noticeboard. Especially, note the 2nd bullet under additional info NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 19:44, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

I'm not outing anyone - he cited material that when searched brings up the paper I linked (available freely, online) along with nearly identical content and his editing pattern shows a clear conflict of interest. I think it's a fair question to ask if the person he has spammed wikipedia with for 8 years, along with D. Lempert's website, is the editor himself or an associate. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:47, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
I'll note there is no personal information include, per WP:OUTING and I've done nothing aside from ask him to identify a conflict of interest, should one exist. In either case, the continued addition of inappropriate sources linked all to one person who, as far as I can tell, is not an expert in their field or published in reliable sources, brings up a grave concern about the intent of the editor. If my edit came across as outing, I apologize but I have not violated that policy as nothing I've linked contains any personal information and only goes directly back to content which the editor sourced themselves.

On the issue of "5G" page- June 2018 5G Govt. auction of South Korea

Hi, I am an active 5G PhD researcher and electronic engineer having IEEE journal and conference publications. Owing to the nature of my work, I keep a pretty close connection with every single major 5G related tech news/researches currently going in the world including close academic ties/networking with 5G researchers of other countries. I would like to demand further explanation on what basis did you just wrote "not a valid source" and discarded the information of South Korea's govt. auction of 5G spectrum held on June 15 2018. What do you mean by "not a valid source"? I gave three national news links including Arirang News, Korea Herald, and Yonhap news containing the Ministry of Science and ICT South Korea's official statement in the news link. I would like to know your precise connection with 5G research (academic/professional/or just earned through net browsing) and have a justifiable explanation of your reversal. Drmnh (talk) 17:03, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

To my surprise, I am dumbfounded at references 14,15, 16 claiming Qatar's Ooredoo being world's first 5G service provider, which do not fall in reliable sources. but still crowning this page with all their glory. Same goes to references 34, 35, 36 claiming 5G frequency's radiation risk to human body which are nothing but self-opinionated blogs/webpage. To claim it a fact, results must appear in major medical journals NOT in trivial or personal webpage. Or even at least the topic should be a talk of town in major 5G/tech conferences which I am unheard of even though my active association. I can go on for 51- 54, 57, 59, 60, 61, 74. I wonder trivial blogs, opinionated pages like 14,15, 16, 34,35,36 could take place as reliable sources. but three national news sources of South Korea could not become reliable sources.. Under what basis national news agencies of a country are regarded unverifiable source? I would like to know. Drmnh (talk) 17:52, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

All you've done is add the ame source url to dozens of pages with no other constructive edits. Stop doing so. And you just said this is a school assignment on behalf of an organization.

The links are constructive to researchers looking for further information, which is one of the advantageous aspects of conducting research on Wikipedia.

  • Chrissymad Those links are not COI. They are external links to the Rhode Island archives, and the articles are related to Rhode Island. — Maile (talk) 19:17, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
See the conversation above, Maile66. How is Rhode Islands archives any more relevant to African Americans than any other state archives? CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:18, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
This is absolutely a clear cut COI issue as it is part of an assignment to mass add external links to several pages. I will gladly back off if someone can explain, clearly, why RI's state archives are any more relevant or important to general topics such as Women's suffrage in the United States, African Americans, Racial segregation in the United States, than any other state archives? If a user is directed to, as part of an assignment, mass add links across a website, that is the definition of WP:LINKSPAM. Furthermore, it's been explained to them, they continued to readd it, even after reversion instead of discussing and even continued after this conversation, which I'd argue is in violation of 3RR. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:26, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

I will gladly explain. If you look closely at the links I am adding such as the "African-American Collection" you removed, the collection had primary documents relevant to African-Americans nationwide from 1652-1855. This is not just Rhode Island information, therefore it is incredibly relevant. Rcar01 (talk) 19:30, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Which still doesn't answer my question. But I'll ask this directly, Rcar01 since there appears to be a conflict of interest. What is the organization that you are doing this through/for? CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:31, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Reverting edits for Rakhi Sawant

Hi I just recently joined and just noticed u have been reverting my edits you are doing it without explaining why please can you stop VishalSingh220 (talk) 17:36, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Regarding Draft:Igorrr

I'm very confused as to how the draft is not adequately sourced by reliable sources? There are 36 sources in the article, including from such publications as the Chicago Reader, Allmusic, Ultimate Guitar, MetalSucks, Loudwire, Metal Hammer, Blabbermouth, and Metal Injection, as well as the websites of various music festivals. Are these not reliable sources? It's frankly ridiculous that this article has been declined twice (and the only reason it went through draft is because an administrator locked the main page after it was recreated following a deletion years ago). RF23 (talk) 00:22, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Can I please get an explanation for this?RF23 (talk) 01:10, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
They are mostly primary sources, such as interviews, passing mentions or mill type coverage, like tour dates. None of which are significant or indepth coverage. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 02:17, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
And if you could kindly stop with the uncivil edit summaries, it would be greatly appreciated. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 02:18, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation. I would argue that the chicago reader profile, this article, the allmusic bio, the metal injection article about signing with metal blade, this interview and the Metal hammer article are all beyond passing mentions or run of the mill coverage. It could definitely use more sources and coverage, but I think it has enough to justify an article. I've seen probably hundreds of articles of bands that are sourced worse and have had no issues existing or even passing AfD's. Is the draft process more strict then just creating an article outright? RF23 (talk) 02:37, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
Regarding your last statement, see WP:OTHERSTUFF. The sources, however, Chicagoreader seems to be good, Jankysmooth doesn't seem to be widely read, a listing on AllMusic is not in-depth coverage - it's a basic bio, metalinjection is okay, an interview is not coverage.

Changes on Comparison of S.M.A.R.T. tools

Hi, a colleague of mine asked for some clarification as to what has been happening regarding changes “Comparison of S.M.A.R.T. tools” on 6 June 2018 please.

It appears your initial edits removed a bunch of tools from this page and your comments were “cleanup, rmv nn, el”

While I profess that I am a complete novice in regards to what is and isn’t proper for a Wikipedia page, it appears a bunch of tools were removed for some sort of non-compliance? I’m not sure what “cleanup, rmv nn, el” means exactly (guessing “rmv” means remove) but what is nn and el please?

Prior to your work on ”Comparison of S.M.A.R.T. tools” on 4 June 2018, was the page not compliant or somehow breached Wikipedia rules? If so, why were the software comparisons not removed sooner? Some software remains, but could you please clarify why that software was left and yet others removed or maybe please point me to the rule breach so I can understand exactly what is and isn’t allowed so I can help explain it to my colleague please.

I have no direct relationship with any of the companies listed that you removed, but I can see there was an attempt to restore it, which your response was “this is spam”. While the definition of spam may be open to some interpretation in the interests of clarity, I would very much appreciate if you can help me understand or at least point me in the right direction.

I don’t think your edits were necessarily punitive, but possibly removed because they didn’t comply?

Again, I stress I have no idea how the editing process works, but it does seem like there are a significant amount of rules and guidelines to ensure wiki entries are compliant. I can only guess this one may not have been compliant for some time and your changes now fit the guidelines? Obviously some software is allowed to be listed, but is there a rule on what can and can’t be listed please? Thank you for you time and I look forward to better understanding these changes please.

Feedback

Do you think Human Rights Watch qualifies as independent/reliable/published? I realize it's not "a range", I was hoping that as a stub it could attract a wider range but I wasn't sure where to look.

In what what could I make the tone more formal? This is an article reporting on grievances which were expressed over 10 years ago, not expressing grievances. I'm not sure what is meant by peacock here, I'm basing the name of the article on an established precedent of how to describe family separation policies of various administrations. ScratchMarshall (talk) 18:43, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

ScratchMarshall Sourcing aside, the entire tone of the draft sounds to me like someone with a grievance rather than just basing it on fact. Like "look, they did it too!" I think you need to reword this in particular and expand in detail. The 1996 policy is vastly different than that of 2008 and 2018, so the whole "From 1997-2000 over a million children/spouses had their families split up" is somewhat misleading and emotional. Overall I think it's misleading (not sure if it's intentional or not) as your source here does not state or imply that families were forcefully separated (as in, traveled into the US together and forcefully removed from one another) just that a travel restriction/ban prevented return access but it actually does mention that Bush and Clinton had tightened and then subsequently relaxed laws to allow for contact. Your section implies that it was the US, or rather the Clinton Administration responsible for this when the source does not and in fact focuses on Cuba's responsibility. It would be like saying "As a result of the Trump administration, millions of families were separated in Syria" which is not the case, no matter what political leaning one has. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:51, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Policies that separate families can be different in how they do it. Whether it's by separating people as they cross borders illegally (in 2018) or by deporting people who had been living here awhile (1997-2000). I'm not sure how it's misleading, "over a million" is a pretty conservative representation of the 1.6 million estimate made by human rights watch. I could change that to "approximately 1.6 million" if that would be less 'emotional'.

The wording of the article is simply describing whose administration the changes happened under. I don't hold Clinton directly responsible for Cuba's policies just as I don't hold Trump responsible for the pre-existing laws which make illegal entry a misdemeanor crime that can result in prison sentences. Clinton choosing to enforce Cuba's wishes and Trump choosing to enforce federal criminal laws do make these policies associated with their administrations, and both policies separated families.

I'm introducing this as a stub, statements about later relaxations which reunited families could be added too. This is an afterthought though, and not the primary topic. The topic of reuniting families could possibly be separate topics:

These could describe what efforts the various administrations have taken to reunite separated families. Given that these would deal not just with families split up by the administration in power at the time, but also those split up by previous administrations, I'm not sure if it should be delegated to a subtopic of "separation" articles. Families separated by a given administration could be reunited either that administration or subsequent ones, so a subsection of "separation" could possibly link to several administrations "reunification" articles. ScratchMarshall (talk) 19:03, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

My point was that your "stub" draft is misleading and I pointed out specifically why. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:04, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

You mentioned, sans parenthesis:

"I think it's misleading as your source here does not state or imply that families were forcefully separated just that a travel restriction/ban prevented return access"

The tentative title is not Clinton administration forceful family separation policy so I'm not sure why "force" comes into it. But pursuing your thought on that...

  • The 2005 HRW article "Torn Apart" and says "policies and regulations that serve to separate families"
  • the 2007 HRW "Forced Apart" says "separated from their parent, husband, or wife because of these deportations".

HRW appears to judge deportation with verbs like tearing/forcing. If someone refuses to be deported (per 1996) and resists, force would be used to make them. If someone refuses to stay in the country and sneaks back to family in Cuba (per 1999) force would be used to bring them back, no? ScratchMarshall (talk) 19:11, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm really not interested in getting into a debate with you about this. There is a clear NPOV issue here and if you feel my review was wrong, resubmit it and let another reviewer look. Thanks. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:13, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Also, please take a look at this: fr:Albert Dadas The French clearly believe he's notable. I saw the French page only when I was finishing my own, so I didn't include its references. It seems that, aside from the novel I mentioned on my page, he inspired another novel, a comic book, and an exhibition. If I added that, would it be enough to warrant a page? Contains Sulfites (talk) 19:53, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

There are several issues with your edits, particularly the DSM as the source you used is not reliable and it's not listed anywhere in the DSM Dromomania itself is hardly even notable and lacking in actual reliable sources. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:57, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

I found the DSM table of contents. You're right, dromomania isn't listed. I apologize for doubting your thoroughness. I'll resubmit the Dadas article once I've added more artistic references. It would be a shame for such an inspiring person not to have an article, dromomania or no dromomania. Contains Sulfites (talk) 21:25, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you again, but I feel I should share this with you. When I Googled the books talking about Dadas, I had the idea of sorting them by date instead of relevance. It turns out that before 1998 (when Ian Hacking published the lectures that would become Mad Travelers, the book I've read), there is absolutely no mention of Dadas for more than a century. Hacking pulled him out of total oblivion. The subsequent articles and novels were inspired by Hacking, not Dadas himself. I fell for it too and wasted an afternoon, then got mad at you. What can I say? Sorry, and I'll definitely vote for the deletion of dromomania. Contains Sulfites (talk) 21:46, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

My Mathematical Sociology editing

Hello Chrissymad -- Over the past several days I've made many major and minor edits of the Wikipedia entry for Mathematical Sociology. This afternoon I spent hours .. HOURS! -- fixing an "edit conflict" and finally fixed it by the method of copying and pasting on a new tab and then saving. Only minutes later, you seem to have made a decision that the page is problematic and it is back to the really inadequate page I've been correcting for the past several days, often in contact with Piotr (forgot this Wiki name -- if you're knowledgeable about all this maybe you can find it) who has applauded the enormous amount of work I put in. I'm a professional in the very field I am editing but not an expert in editing Wikipedia. Anyway, now all my work is gone! Perhaps you think all those footnoted citations, references and the like don't mean anything? I don't get it. PLEASE do restore the page to my work! Please!

I created Forced Alliance after going to Wikipedia: Project Video Games: Requested Articles. Not that it justifies anything but a lot of video game articles only rely on the types of sources I used (see for yourself, Road Runner's Death Valley Rally for instance). AARP source, i know was shaky, I used it as a backup source to another secondary source I used. I mean your allowed to use youtube videos as sources for somethings so I figured that kind of exception to the rule thing would apply to the AARP source too.

Thanks for reviewing Home_Sweet_Tokyo page. This show is notable in that it's possibly the only (or at least a very rare example) of a show starring (and indeed written by) a foreigner on any Japanese TV station. I've added a little bit about that with regard to NHK (their first sitcom and first English language comedy). It's probably also the only English language comedy/drama ever made by a Japanese TV station but I don't have reference for that. Even if it's not the only one then it is one of a tiny few, making it notable.

May I suggest in future instead of being awkward, that you actually help with things like merges?, I clearly stated I was hopeless at merging so instead of being awkward over it you instead should've helped me (or left it for someone else),
The closing admin has never to my knowledge closed any AFD as merge because they believe merges should be discussed on the talkpage ..... The consensus in this case was a clear and obvious merge .... Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:43, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Then take it up with the closing admin, please. The only thing that can be said is one sentence as the rest is PR fluff. I was nothing but civil to you, so can you please explain this edit summary? That is also not how merges work because it doesn't include attribution. If you don't know how it works, why mess with it? CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 14:49, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Possible RD sock?

Hello Chrissymad, can you please take a look at this user who recreated MD's article Sri Reddy under Sri Reddy Mallidi. Thank you. GSS (talk|c|em) 16:27, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Remove template message from Golden Sheen Sapphire page

Hi Chrissymad, I see you are away from Wikipedia for a while, so I am going to remove the template message from the Golden Sheen Sapphire page. I have done a major edit and added citations for each {citation needed} tag.

Sjwaddington (talk) 05:54, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Sjwaddington I've restored the previous version as the sources you've added were either too generic (main pages of a magazine?) or refspam (sjwgems.com?!). CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:50, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

User:Chrissymad (talk)

Chrissymad Hmm, ok. Well, those magazines are respected industry journals, so what would you suggest would be acceptable as a source? The photos on sjwgems.com is the only reference anywhere that shows the colour change properties of gold sheen sapphire. I am not sure what else I can use - apart from the photo I uploaded to Wiki - which makes it self evident, until you decided it needed an external citation. I would appreciate your suggestion on that too. Thank you. Sjwaddington (talk) 05:56, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Hi Chrissymad,

I just wanted to say sorry for what was said yesterday, Angry or not you didn't deserve those words yesterday and so I wanted to sincerely apologise for that,

I look forward to contributing with you :),

Anyway again apologies for yesterday,

Take care, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:54, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the apology, means a lot. Sometimes our irritation can get the best of us. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:48, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
You're welcome, Agreed but still no one deserves to be spoken to like that, Anyway apologies again, Right I'll shut up now lol, Take care, –Davey2010Talk 15:54, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Kaihan Krippendorff page reworked

Hi @Chrissymad

Thank you for taking the time to review the previous version of the page I created. I went through and examined each source, pulling those you said were not ok to use.

Can you please let me know what you think of the article in its current form? Any other recommendations and assistance would be appreciated as well.

Best,

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months. (Purge)

Hello Praxidicae, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

June backlog drive

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers.
Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

New technology, new rules
  • New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
  • Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
  • Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.
Editathons
  • Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
The Signpost
  • The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 00:00, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Redirect to Darren Wang

Dear Chrissymad: Just notice that you redirected "Wang Talu" to "Darren Wang". The reason I removed the "redirection" at "Wang Talu" is that the English name of this actor has been "Wang Talu" since 2016. The English name of his latest works is "Wang Talu", no more "Darren Wang". Please watch the trailers and posters of his latest works, like "Suddenly Seventeen", "Legend of the Naga Pearls", "A Better Tomorrow 2018" and "The Wolf". (Redacted) Please let me know what you think! Thank you very much! -Doedoeneoneo (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:06, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Doedoeneoneo Please discuss it on the talk page until consensus is reached - also please do not provide anyone's personal information on Wikipedia. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:08, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
@Chrissymad: Good morning! Thanks for your reply. Let me remove my previous message first. He has his English name as "Wang Talu" since 2016. Here are more information for you reference. Thank you very much!
1. Instagram => @taluwang
2. 2016 movie "Suddenly Seventeen" => Poster
3. 2017 movie "Legend of the Naga Pearls" => Trailer
4. 2018 movie "A Better Tomorrow 2018" => Poster
5. 2018 drama "The Wolf" => Trailer
-Doedoeneoneo (talk)
@Chrissymad: Dear, I am not able to wait for you. Please contact me first if you think it is not OK to have "Wang Talu" wiki . We could discuss it more when you have time. Also, it will be nice that you could help "redirect" "Darren Wang" to "Wang Talu". Thank you very much!

Hedvig Hricak

Hi Chrissy, hope you're well. Thanks again for your previous help with Hricak's BLP. I was hoping you could help me with some new revisions, which I proposed on the talk page without any response. I've been working on improving the current version of the article to something a little more robust, with some of Hricak's personal information removed (as it had been previously suppressed for privacy reasons), and some information on her research included in a separate section. I also created separate sections for her other roles, past roles, and accolades. If you have the time, could you take a look? I have a draft here. I want to make sure that what I'm proposing is in line with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. I'd really appreciate it!--FacultiesIntact (talk) 00:39, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
