Quick Question about Reviews.
Thank you for reviewing Diff'rent, I just received the news about it. Is there a way I can see the review? Is their a link on the article to the reviews? Starlighsky (talk) 22:59, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Starlighsky - there isn't a "review" per se, this is more like a check process to see whether the article satisfies the necessary criteria for Wikipedia as part of the new page patrol process. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 08:07, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- That makes sense, thanks. Starlighsky (talk) 11:28, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
The {{Sources exist}} tag
Hi, when adding the {{Sources exist}} tag, as you did at Tarja Salmio-Toiviainen, it would be very helpful to list the sources you identified at the article talk page. This helps other editors and skips a whole bunch of duplicate searching. Ljleppan (talk) 05:26, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Ljleppan - I've added a link to the Helsingin Sanomat obituary on the talk page. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 10:46, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from KD DA GR8 (13:00, 10 October 2023)
Hello i want to create a wiki artist musician profile im having trouble --KD DA GR8 (talk) 13:00, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @KD DA GR8 - if you're starting with Wikipedia for the first time, it's a good idea to get the hang of basic editing before trying to create a new article. I've left a message on your talk page with links to resources - have a look through those and feel free to come back to me with any questions. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 20:06, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
Question from Jayvikrecords (07:14, 12 October 2023)
Hello How do I contribute --Jayvikrecords (talk) 07:14, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Jayvikrecords - I left a message on your talk page with links which will help you. Have a read through those; feel free to ask me more if you need. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 08:05, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
GMOs and pesticides
You have recently made edits related to genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed. This is a standard message to inform you that genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them, broadly construed is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Additionally editors are not allowed to make more than 1 revert on the same page within 24 hours in this topic. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:26, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Tryptofish Thanks, well aware, although I'm not sure what your purpose is. To which article edits does this refer? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 19:23, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- It's purely a formality, not at all implying that I think anything is wrong – I don't. Pesticides are part of the topic area, so Pesticide Action Network is the page. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:08, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Tryptofish It's clear we're both here in good faith. Nevertheless, templating editors, can be construed in different ways, depending on the context. You've templated me with "you have recently made edits related to..." and then indicated the PAN page. Again, I ask to which specific article edits are you referring? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 21:34, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- It's because you have made comments on that article's talk page. The template here uses standard language that I did not write, and I am not permitted to alter any wording; nor is there an alternative with different wording. I'm not reacting to any particular comment that you made. I don't have any hidden agenda about using this template here or about anything else. I'm not sure what else I can say. If you still have questions about how this works, and about how the use of this template does not imply any wrongdoing, you can ask about it at Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:44, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Tryptofish - actually there's always an alternative. There's always different ways to reach out and engage with an editor. FWIW, given my standing here, there's simply no way I could ever reasonably claim to be unaware of the contentious topics regime. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:16, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- If that is the case, you can use Template:Contentious topics/aware on your talk page. But I don't see it here. If I wanted to discuss a concern that I had with you, I would indeed have simply opened a discussion with you here, without using any template. But if you are already familiar with WP:Contentious topics, you would understand that the template I used is not something that has a hidden agenda. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:22, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from Ankwasa Harlord (12:02, 19 October 2023)
Hey senior, hope you are doing well... How will I be able to publish my own articles and is it allowed to re - do an entire article given to you for editing for its betterment? --Ankwasa Harlord (talk) 12:02, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Ankwasa Harlord - I left a message on your talk page with a links to help introduce editing on Wikipedia. In general, the best way to start is to work on editing existing articles, to help improve them before creating new articles from scratch. Feel free to ask me any questions. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 02:14, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
Question from Terrible Two Productions (23:54, 20 October 2023)
Hi...My name is Allen George, and I wrote the song in question. These things were brought to my attention by my long time engineer. I'm trying to set the record straight and have these things removed from this page. --Terrible Two Productions (talk) 23:54, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Terrible Two Productions: due to the conflict of interest issues these are best raised through edit requests at the article's talk page. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 02:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Question from DBrown_SPS (03:01, 29 October 2023)
Hey, Gold. I have recently made edits about the Hate Content & Hateful Conduct policy on Spotify and its articles. I don't think I did a good job or seemed to be correct. I added Tay-K and Kodak Black cause I thought they were no longer on the platform's playlist until June 1, 2018. Can you look at it please and thank you? If so, can you maintain the edits and see if it's good? Thanks so much. I did pretty bad. Darrion "Beans" Brown 🙂 (my talk page / my sandbox) 03:01, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
