RfD Question

edit

Hello Utopes,

I noticed you were adding RfDs for pages redirecting to "Never Gonna Give You Up". It made me think: What about We live, We love, We lie? Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 00:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Utopes What I am trying to say is that it may also be an RfD. It has low view traffic (the highest one might have been from me to see where it leads to). However, it is a popular meme across the Internet. What do you think? Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 23:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hey @Myrealnamm:, super sorry for the delay in responding. Thanks for bringing up We live, We love, We lie. It looks to me that this lyric is indeed mentioned at The Spectre (song)#Resurface in the Resurface section? As it gets talked about, it adds possibly enough context to identify the lyric. As long as the lyric is mentioned in the article, it seems like it might be able to be a valid search term. But that's a good point, so I'll go ahead and tag it as an Template:R from lyric, which will track it with the rest of the lyrics. Does that answer your question? Utopes (talk / cont) 08:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, thanks. Thanks for confirming.   Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 11:26, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Madame Sosostris

edit

Out of curiosity, what brought you to that page? At the time I edited it, there was no mention of the character in the target article; someone else added it since. According to the page information (for Madame Sosostris), we're the only 2 visitors in the last 30 days. ZFT (talk) 08:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@ZFT: Was looking at pages tagged in CAT:RAW. Generally speaking, "redirects targeting pages where they aren't discussed" is not a long term solution, so if it stays there for too long I've been sending them to RfD. I'm fully sure that it was indeed mentionless at the time the tag was added in 2019. The undo was a bit of a "Hey just letting you know I'm removing this tag as it's no longer necessary, feel free to review if you disagree". (Sometimes, I replace the tag with something more appropriate, so there's more room for feedback, or maybe the mention that I spot isn't satisfactory to someone else, etc). Hopefully that makes sense, you may or may not see other similar notifications in the future. No criticism towards the initial tag placements; as you noted here these redirects are pretty hard to spot and most people aren't hawking the source pages to see when mentions get added. 😂 Utopes (talk / cont) 08:44, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Palladium disulfide

edit

See the talk page of the article. It is not Pd(IV). The IV means its oxidation state, and it does not have two different oxidation states. Christian75 (talk) 05:10, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, didn't see the talk page discussion. Apologies for the revert. Utopes (talk / cont) 05:12, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Palladium

edit

I would love to improve the page for Palladium to restore it back to GA status, but I don't have much experience with lengthier articles, as I normally stick to small articles. I fixed all the citation needed tags, and will be adding more citations for the Jewelry section, is there anything else I should focus on? NomzEditingWikis (talk) 02:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Heh, if I had a nickel for every Palladium related discussion I'd have here on my talkpage in the last 24 hours... I'd surprisingly have two! (Alternatively, I could go up a period have an abundance of nickels there.) (When I started writing the nickel metaphor, it had yet to dawn on me that Palladium and Nickel were separated by a layer, which the present irony also has several of, even more ironically) (But if I wanted EVEN MORE irony, I'd just have to go two elements left of nickel. The same number of nickels I have from cosmic chance of two Palladium discussions within 24 hours. This also didn't dawn on me until I wrote the word irony. I promise this is all unintentional 😂)
...Well then. Sorry for however I can describe the above. The Good Article Reassessment I did for Palladium back in 2020 was for an article in a much different state as it's in now. When dealing with lengthy articles that cover an element used in a massive variety of contexts, you'll probably want to follow the guidance set out in WP:BROAD#Approaches for broad-concept articles. You've correctly identified that the Jewelry section is a problem. as the end of it is full of trivial, citationless claims that will need attribution to a reliable source. If you've dealt with the citation-needed tags already, which I remember there being plentiful of in 2020, that's a great start. Looking over it now, the Palladium#Palladium as investment section is exceptionally weak. A citation at the end of every paragraph is a bare minimum, and this section has basically 50% of text without a citation at the end, and is also poorly organized. Furthermore, I would also recommend eliciting help from WikiProject Elements, as in doing so you'll be able to get a wide spectrum of responses to things that people might expect to see in a Palladium article. Hopefully this is a useful starting place; best of luck in your endeavors! Utopes (talk / cont) 03:18, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Draft: Megan Tremethick

edit

Hi Utopes,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to review my draft. I understand your points that Tremethick was mentioned in the articles but was not the central focus of them, however I’d like to clarify that the actress plays a leading role in nearly every single film referenced in the article, including a leading role in the upcoming resurrection of the well known and beloved classic British Horror label - Amicus productions and she features in the promotional images of several articles listed, including the poster of the new Amicus Film. GuineaPickle (talk) 21:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello; I don't doubt that what you've said is the case, and I'm sure that she'll be able to have an article eventually as she does play a leading role in the films listed from what I've seen. However, those facts are not present in the article right now. There is only one line of prose in the article, which is insufficient and doesn't establish why she is notable (even if we both agree that she's been a leading actress in multiple films). More sourced content is required, preferably from sources that talk about Tremethick specifically, and in the ways that she's notable (such as coverage about her in one of the films, and not just a passing mention that she was in it.)
Out of the films that are listed, only two have articles on Wikipedia, and one of the films is unreleased, meaning that sources are likely to be few on principle for involvement in that one. But what I'd recommend is finding topics that are similar to Tremethick and getting an idea of the structure from those. It looks like Tremethick was in The Lockdown Hauntings with Sarah-Jane Potts, which if you click on her article you can see a well developed article lead, as well as personal life (optional) and filmography section. But the most important section is the lead paragraphs, that explain why she's notable. That much has not yet been done for Tremethick. Hopefully that helps guide you with your draft! Let me know if you have any follow up questions. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Murphy v County Wexford VEC

edit

Hey there, Utopes! I'm so sorry for reverting three of your edits on the Murphy v County Wexford VEC article talk page. I feel like such an idiot but I'll admit it, I've been going through your recent contributions. There was this button called "vandalism" and being an inexperienced user, I clicked it. It then directed me to the Murphy v County Wexford VEC talk page and showed me that I reverted three of your edits. I feel so bad and I hope you understand. Once again, I'm sorry for reverting your edits. CreatorOfMinecraftHerobrine (talk) 20:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

LOL! Don't worry, totally an accident, and that's exactly what I thought happened there. I saw that Twinkle was recently recommended to you a couple days ago, and knowing that Twinkle doesn't give a warning pop-up before a rollback, I figured that you were still testing what it can and can't do. We've all been there, I think I did the same thing myself a few years back! 😆 Absolutely all good, and thanks for the apology. ^^ Utopes (talk / cont) 20:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

First Time Publishing - Help Needed

edit

Hi Utopes,

thank you for your comments on my first article. I wanted to ask for your help concerning the notability of the subject: most of the articles were never digitized but are from sources that have their own Wikipedia sites (it’s a well known guitar player that is referred to as legend in many guitar or music magazines such as Relix Magazine, Guitar Player, Guitar Techniques, Guitar World, Downbeat, Premier Guitar, Guitarist, Vintage Guitar, etc., and international magazines (Japan, Thailand, etc.)). I have over 80 official magazines with articles, interviews, lessons, and such (and not only mentions) spanning almost 20 years. Could you tell me how can I include these since they’re not online, please?

Also, the subject has recorded or played live with many A-list celebrities and already has a Wiki-page in German.

Thank you immensely for your guidance. All the best. Ivhutt (talk) 20:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:15th-century Christian biblical scholars

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Category:15th-century Christian biblical scholars indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

VC-7 Squadron

edit

Thank you for you communication about the VC-7 Squadron. I would like to make the case that the VC-7 squadron is worthy of an article separate from RVAH-7. I have read the RVAH article and the first thing I realized was that unlike VC-7, the mission of RVAH-7 was photo reconnaissance. I think that suggests a strong distinction between the squadrons. VC-7 and the other VC squadrons were created to keep the Navy relevant in the atomic age by proving that planes carrying nuclear weapons could be launched from and returned to carriers. This mission is very different from the stated role of RVAH-7. Though in Navy records the squadrons share a lineage, I believe the distinct missions of the squadrons suggest they should be distinguished from each other. Would a cross reference be appropriate?
