I'm not here to nag, but before acting on advice given from my former GA reviewer Generalissima, I wanted to let you know she thinks it's time to submit to FAC. Substantive changes have been made to the article, but I want to know if you agree with her. Can you let me know today? If you both think it's time, I will submit it.

Christianity in the 600s and Christianity in the Middle Ages,The title of the section refers to both the Middle Ages and the period from 600 on. How is that confusing? They are the same things. "simple folk" and "implicit faith" are summaries of much longer descriptions - not paraphrased. Two extra page numbers are gone. One thing Done Jenhawk777 ( talk) 06:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
religion in the Middle Ages was not unified and piously Christian. I will happily rephrase using singularly instead of unified for you. Done Jenhawk777 ( talk) 06:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
The vaguely-alluded to "old beliefs" also compounded with the earlier mis-adaptation to produce the impression that V.E. (and Powicke, who he quotes) are saying that the Middle Ages were religiously divided, when in reality the point is that paganism and Christianity co-evolved:No they didn't. This is a misunderstanding of what V.E. says. First, page 526 is summarizing old scholarship, and not yet reaching conclusions. Second, V.E. quotes Powicke as saying Paganism abounded, but it was the literal paganism of the natural man There was no mythical millennium of Indo-European folk religion (page 537), there was no organized paganism capable of "co-evolving" with Christianity. Medieval religion was divided. V.E.'s conclusions begin on page 537: medieval religious life included a constant struggle to establish or renew Christian religious culture in the face of various other religious practices, some derived from what Powicke described as the "paganism of the natural man," some of more ancient heritage. They co-existed. They did not co-evolve. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 06:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
this monasteries section has eight individual citations, only two are written by authors who could really call themselves subject-matter experts, and one of them died 90 years ago.The subject matter being the Middle Ages or monastics or medicine or what? James Westfall Thompson was an expert in the history of medieval and early modern Europe. He did die in 1941, but his book has been reprinted several times, and the version I used is dated 2016. Blainey was an expert historian, and if you recall I was previously chided for not using more general histories such as his "Short History of Christianity", so that's why he's there. Koenig is an expert on the history of medicine. Butler was an expert on Benedict. Dunn is expert in history of religion. All works referenced are dated in the 2000's except one. What reference would you prefer? I don't mind adding or removing any - according to what they actually say. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 06:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm wondering whether DYK nominations that have been rejected and closed (e.g. Talk:Kanye West) are supposed to remain archived at the top of the talk page indefinitely?

I wanted to check in regarding the mentorship request at Wikipedia:Good article mentorship#48JCL and your message on their talk page at User talk:48JCL/Archive/2024/May#GA mentorship. Did they ever reach out to you after the review began? Because I don't see anything like that, and the review at Talk:Npm left-pad incident/GA1 doesn't look like a finished review. There seem to be a few like this, and they've just begun working on another two of mine ( Talk:Federalist No. 8/GA1 and Talk:Fear of bees/GA1) in addition to the one that they failed previously.

Hi! I saw you offer mentorship for GA reviewers and thought I would reach out. I recently reviewed Talk:Carl Friedrich Gauss/GA1 and I wanted to ask for your input on the review: is it too detailed/too shallow? have I overlooked some important aspects? Broc ( talk) 14:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, can you show me where you can hat reviews? It seems like you just disregarded and "closed" what I wrote. Bogazicili ( talk) 15:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia tends to show a White Anglo-American perspective on issues due to the preponderance of English-speaking editors from Anglophone countries. By the way when I say systemic bias, it doesn't necessarily mean something on purpose. I don't think anyone is purposefully trying to mislead. Bogazicili ( talk) 16:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I have read your changes to the article and will try to leave descriptions of any changes I have made. Generally, I can agree with your way of argumentation regarding specifying artists who were inspired by Iron Maiden at some stage of their career. Over the years, I have literally read about thousands of cases of this type, among artists representing completely different subgenres of rock and metal. The rest is mentioned by the experts mentioned in the article. In view of all these opinions, the number of examples given seems trivial and completely inadequate to the actual situation. Another issue is what does the term "directly influenced" mean here? How can you determine with absolute certainty which artist is more or less inspired by Irons' work? Yet another matter is that in the case of describing the influence on artists posted on the websites of groups stylistically similar to Maiden, it was enough to specify a number of names, even without detailed links, or to assign to this group artists who in interviews declared their fascination with someone's work and influence. That's why I included examples of many artists representing various subgenres of music, including some of their statements. Is this incorrect? It looks as if slightly different verification standards were applied to Iron Maiden compared to similar artists. THX for your time and patience RALFFPL ( talk) 18:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed you deleted some awards from an article, including a large list of Japanese Burrn! Magazine annual Awards. Burrn! Awards are annual fan voting accolades honored with statuettes and many bands on Wiki noticed those as their notable awards (see: Megadeth). Restore this one PLEASE. I don't know why in Maiden article we couldn't notice those ones. Regards RALFFPL ( talk) 19:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
The hook was in the article. “The puzzles for the game will be designed by a group named QuizKnock, as Akira Tago, the puzzle designer for the other Professor Layton games, died in 2016.” SL93 ( talk) 17:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Your RfA vote is. As always I think these public votes are a problem. You and I work together, and I try to get along with everyone. We have different thoughts about who would make be a good admin; it is not a reason for us to be enemies or to get pointy. I think someday you may want to be an admin, and I would hope you would try not to make antagonistic votes or belittle editors with different ideas about governance. Lightburst ( talk) 17:17, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Isn't that what you did? You say no. It is an incongruent vote, like me saying "oppose per a AirshipJungleman29" which is designed for you and others to get the point that your vote is wrongheaded. But if I make that my rationale this point it would be a pointy-cancelling-loop. Lightburst ( talk) 20:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)As a rule, editors engaging in "POINTy" behavior are making edits with which they do not actually agree, for the deliberate purpose of drawing attention and provoking opposition in the hopes of making other editors see their "point".

This comment is not sensible. Threads in archive can be closed and these requests should be handled by an admin, not non-admins. Ratnahastin ( talk) 09:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
I found four reliable sources with the hook stated as a definite fact, and three of them were already in the article. I removed the last sentence. SL93 ( talk) 17:27, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I'm certain I have probably done a poor job of pinging you over on my page.
Could you please take a look and appraise my response to your feedback?

Hi, the banner shown on the Timurid page is described as such by the source. If need be I can send scans of the book to show this HetmanTheResearcher ( talk) 15:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I saw you offer mentorship for GA reviewers and thought I would reach out. I recently reviewed Talk:Carl Friedrich Gauss/GA1 and I wanted to ask for your input on the review: is it too detailed/too shallow? have I overlooked some important aspects? Broc ( talk) 14:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, can you show me where you can hat reviews? It seems like you just disregarded and "closed" what I wrote. Bogazicili ( talk) 15:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Wikipedia tends to show a White Anglo-American perspective on issues due to the preponderance of English-speaking editors from Anglophone countries. By the way when I say systemic bias, it doesn't necessarily mean something on purpose. I don't think anyone is purposefully trying to mislead. Bogazicili ( talk) 16:58, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I have read your changes to the article and will try to leave descriptions of any changes I have made. Generally, I can agree with your way of argumentation regarding specifying artists who were inspired by Iron Maiden at some stage of their career. Over the years, I have literally read about thousands of cases of this type, among artists representing completely different subgenres of rock and metal. The rest is mentioned by the experts mentioned in the article. In view of all these opinions, the number of examples given seems trivial and completely inadequate to the actual situation. Another issue is what does the term "directly influenced" mean here? How can you determine with absolute certainty which artist is more or less inspired by Irons' work? Yet another matter is that in the case of describing the influence on artists posted on the websites of groups stylistically similar to Maiden, it was enough to specify a number of names, even without detailed links, or to assign to this group artists who in interviews declared their fascination with someone's work and influence. That's why I included examples of many artists representing various subgenres of music, including some of their statements. Is this incorrect? It looks as if slightly different verification standards were applied to Iron Maiden compared to similar artists. THX for your time and patience RALFFPL ( talk) 18:50, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I've noticed you deleted some awards from an article, including a large list of Japanese Burrn! Magazine annual Awards. Burrn! Awards are annual fan voting accolades honored with statuettes and many bands on Wiki noticed those as their notable awards (see: Megadeth). Restore this one PLEASE. I don't know why in Maiden article we couldn't notice those ones. Regards RALFFPL ( talk) 19:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
The hook was in the article. “The puzzles for the game will be designed by a group named QuizKnock, as Akira Tago, the puzzle designer for the other Professor Layton games, died in 2016.” SL93 ( talk) 17:43, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Your RfA vote is. As always I think these public votes are a problem. You and I work together, and I try to get along with everyone. We have different thoughts about who would make be a good admin; it is not a reason for us to be enemies or to get pointy. I think someday you may want to be an admin, and I would hope you would try not to make antagonistic votes or belittle editors with different ideas about governance. Lightburst ( talk) 17:17, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Isn't that what you did? You say no. It is an incongruent vote, like me saying "oppose per a AirshipJungleman29" which is designed for you and others to get the point that your vote is wrongheaded. But if I make that my rationale this point it would be a pointy-cancelling-loop. Lightburst ( talk) 20:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)As a rule, editors engaging in "POINTy" behavior are making edits with which they do not actually agree, for the deliberate purpose of drawing attention and provoking opposition in the hopes of making other editors see their "point".
