A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Thank you for paying attention to my page! I'm a little confused, however, because I used the visual editor, and I thought it automatically formatted elements such as links to Wikipedia pages and citations (unless I manually input information for those, which I did in several cases). I don't want to reverse your corrections because I'm sure you wouldn't have done them if they weren't needed. But I do want to learn about this issue and how to avoid it. Somebody else had told me to get rid of the external links in my copy, but I couldn't figure out what he meant because I thought my text links were to Wikipedia pages, and my external links appeared in citation footnotes. This is my first serious page contribution and I sweated every detail, so I'm trying to absorb whatever guidance experts like you can provide. Again, thanks for the look at the page. It appears you are a reviewer ... so what did you think? How can I get this page approved, or what other work do I need to do? I've been tightening the text and cutting the discography (and keep going back to trim more), but I think it reads pretty well, has solid attribution (with external links in the process of being backed up in the archive) and is about a notable person worthy of coverage. I hope you don't mind me asking so many questions, but I sure appreciate any input you might be inclined to offer. ～～～～ TexasEditor1 (talk) 09:18, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Thanks ... thought I saw something about you being a reviewer. In any case, I understood what your corrections were, but the point I was trying to make is that I used visual editing, not source editing, so I didn't do the coding. It was automatic. So I'm not sure whether it makes a difference whether I code it with your instructions or use the coding that visual editor automatically created. I'm not sure why visual editor would exist if it's going to code everything incorrectly; I just know that if it didn't, I'd never have the patience to manually code every single name and italicized title in this thing (which was twice as long when I first submitted it).

I did find the external references you mentioned in the discography, and frankly, I have no idea why I did them that way. I just turned them into citations. I still need to create archived pages for references in that section, but I still think it's ready to be published; I just wish I could get someone to actually review it and make that happen.

Thanks so much for the attention and responses. TexasEditor1 (talk) 09:03, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Thank you for those corrections on the Clipperton Island article. I've been working on it all day and I know I've let little things fall through the cracks. Honestly, thank you for catching my silly mistakes and taking the time to fix them.

Ballads2110 (talk) 04:38, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Many Thanks

@Cmr08:, Thanks for changing the px and adjusting the other stuff! Greatly Appreciate it! One question though, how do the px's work? I honestly was just copying another article's format since I've only been here for less than 3 weeks.

Hi The Capitalist forever, px is short for pixel. It just means how big the image should appear. It was listed as 150 pixels which was pretty small. I just leave images in their default size, which is done by leaving the image_size parameter empty. Cmr08 (talk) 08:25, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Oh, ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the help! The Capitalist forever (talk) 05:46, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Clarifying some stuff

Hi there @Cmr08,

I wanted to give you a heads up on some of your edits to my pages (eg: Anikv, The Limba, Niletto, etc.). In case you didn't see, those are pages I translated from the Russian Wikipedia, so there was bound to be some errors here and there. I was merely trying to at least start those pages here on the English Wikipedia, so I didn't really do as thorough of a job as I should have. Also keep in mind that I don't bring every single thing over to here (either because I chose not to translate it, the sources there are blacklisted here, or some other reason). That's why there are expansion tags on those pages for editors that might be interested in doing so. That being said, thanks for the edits you made to them. They're very helpful. Losipov (talk) 21:47, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi Losipov, I think the extent of my edits to those articles was to fix small manual of style edits. I didn't even notice the expansion templates. Cmr08 (talk) 05:34, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Boukari Laouali

Hello, thank you very much for your contributions on my article (Boukari Laouali). Can you help me introduce links on the page to remove the tag (orphan)? Thanks in advance Wikipedien28 (talk) 11:55, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Wikipedien28, I'm sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven't been online for a couple of days. From your question, I think you have misunderstood what an orphan is. Adding links in the Boukari Laouali article does not make the article no longer an orphan. To remove the orphan tag, we need links in other articles directing to the Boukari Laouali article. Clicking on "what links here" in the tools menu will show what articles are linking here, and it appears that you have removed the orphan tags from this article and the Polha Andrea article, when they are both clearly still orphans.

Kelvin May moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Kelvin May. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ktkvtsh (talk) 04:25, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Ktkvtsh, I'm kind of confused as to why you're sending me this message, because I'm not the editor that created the article, all I did was put the headers in the correct format and add a category. I have no interest in further editing the article or submitting it for review, and honestly, I don't think it comes close to meeting notability at this time.

In this edit you asked why you were reverted. We encountered an edit conflict. I tried to retain your edits, but apparently I missed some. Apologies. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:36, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Emmanuel Ibru

Please help create subsections (Background/Education and career) on the Emmanuel Ibru page. I don't know how to do that yet. Thank you. Jay Kenechukwu (talk) 08:19, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello Jay Kenechukwu (talk) 08:13, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jay Kenechukwu, my only edits to this article were to add a period at the end of a sentence, and to add a couple of categories. I make edits to many articles when doing cleanup, but if I'm editing content, I like to edit articles I'm familiar with, so I don't think I would be much help to you with this article. Also, if you checked my edit contributions before coming back a second time, you would see I hadn't been online since your first message so that's why you didn't get a response until now. Cmr08 (talk) 09:13, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I am not asking you to add new information to the article but only asking you to help sectionalize the article (background/education, career, personal life). Jay Kenechukwu (talk) 10:57, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

George Bain (Academic)

Hi Cmro8, thank you for your recent edits to the George Bain (academic) page. I have inserted some additional references and removed the tag relating to disclosure of payment as I have now added the paid disclosure to my user page and flagged it up in a recent edit summary,  

I’m a newbie to Wikipedia. I've been a professional copy editor for many years and George Bain engaged me to edit his autobiography last summer. While doing this I realised ‘his’ previous Wikipedia page contained several factual errors and that there were also significant omissions in relation to his career. In the interests of accuracy, I made several substantial corrections to this page some months ago. Since then, the page had remained relatively untouched until I posted a help query, after which the tags appeared. My help query related to the side bar. I’ve been unable to insert a reference to Bain’s role as Director of the Industrial Relations Research Unit at the University of Warwick, which is a major omission. Is this something you can help with?

As several references have now been added, can the tags referring to citations now be removed? Also, I’m not sure how to address the tag stating that the page reads like a résumé. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and best wishes. Ashanza5 Ashanza5 (talk) 18:11, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ashanza5, the only edit I made to this article was to put the headers in the correct format, so I don't think I can be of much help with the issues you mentioned. I see you also left this message for other editors, so maybe one of them will have more of an interest in the article and be able to help. Cmr08 (talk) 16:05, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Cmr08, I appreciate your getting back to me. Thanks. 2A00:23C8:1102:3201:F1F2:7F46:FF6:8C24 (talk) 15:46, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello my friend, there is a problem with this page Casablanca derby. There is an account Ou111. that deletes the table every time. Can you find a solution to block the account or lock the page permanently? Ji Soôo97 (talk) 22:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Ji Soôo97, I'm sorry, but I'm not an admin so I can't block editors or lock pages. I was going to suggest taking this to WP:RPP, but I see you have already done that. I'm sure it won't take long before an editor answers your request. Cmr08 (talk) 22:20, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

How does Reviewing actually work?

Hello user:Cmr08 I just wanted to know from your perspective what reviewing a newly created page means? and when does one actually mark an article as reviewed?

just curious as I don't find any answers on Google that explains the reviewing processes simple enough. for Example if more than 2/3 reviewers and autopatrolled users worked on a article when does it actually get marked as reviewed? please don't scold me im just trying to learn more from experienced editors instead. ChadLawrence021 (talk) 09:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi ChadLawrence021, I'm confused. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I have met you, and wonder what makes you think I would scold you for asking a question on my talk page? I would never scold a new editor or any editor for that matter who asked me a question. As for your question, I'm not a reviewer so I don't know exactly what it involves as I'm not actually allowed to mark a page as reviewed. The edit I made to an article you created was just putting headers in sentence case as that's the format Wikipedia uses. Have you checked out the Teahouse yet? That's a great place for new editors to ask questions, I'm sure an experinced editor would be able to explain the role of reviewers or the review process much better than I could. Cmr08 (talk) 10:28, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

No, we don't know each other, I just discovered your edit and was curious to ask you since you're a user that patrolls new pages. And back when I was editing with IP address I would ask a editor a question and they scold at me by saying create an account and read through Wikipedia policies and guidelines which I did and is understandable also as without an account no one would take me serious as an editor, sometimes it's not as easy to understand somethings that's why I ask a more experienced user in that field or doing that type of work but I will further take me questions to the Teahouse. Thank you

Chad.

Your opinion about an addition I'm about to publish for "John Kennedy (Louisiana Politician)"?

Wondering if you would consider this relevant - it's actually probably what he's most known for (hope you don't mind my asking you on here):

Speaking Style

Kennedy is known for his pronounced Southern drawl and his "folksy" manner of speaking. He is also known for his occasional irreverent rejoinders during congressional hearings. In a 2020 BuzzFeed News article by Paul McLeod, Kennedy once said in a hearing: "Giving Equifax an IRS contract would be like 'giving Lindsay Lohan the keys to the minibar.' He once told a judicial nominee, “just because you’ve seen My Cousin Vinny doesn’t qualify you to be a federal judge.” Some colleagues who knew Kennedy during the Louisiana politics days claim he sounds different than the person they remember, prompting a 2023 article in The Guardian to ask the question: "Is his accent a put-on?", likening it to being somewhere between "that of Mr Haney, the con artist from the former CBS sitcom Green Acres, and Foghorn Leghorn, the cartoon rooster who appears in Looney Tunes." Mass communication professor at Louisiana State University Robert Mann said, “He plays the role of a clever hick who, while unsophisticated, is always quick with a put-down for smug city slickers.”

Hi Gregorcollins, sorry for taking so long to get back to you, I've only been on for a few minutes the last couple of days. I see you already edited the article, after getting good advince from a couple of experienced and well respected editors. I agree with the advice they gave you, so I don't think there's anything for me to add. Cmr08 (talk) 00:04, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

I just wanted to reach out and introduce myself - I'm Ash and am working on this article for an assignment in my Volcanology course. Thank you for fixing my mistake on the structure of the titles of the sections. I'll be more careful in the future. If you have any other suggestions for the article, please let me know.
