Welcome, subscribers, to the seventh Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:
Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine. This issue's Category 3 articles are:
I LIVE. Hi, guys. Great to see you. I felt like doing this again. Will I do more? Let's find out. I hope you're all well, you beautiful people. |

Hi Aza, hope you're well. Genghis Khan isn't ready yet but his adopted son Shigi Qutuqu is; I've put him up for GAN. I don't know how busy you are, but a review or any comments would be appreciated. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 17:52, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
Thanks again for the review Aza. I think you'll have seen that my work on Genghis is coming on apace, I've just submitted Baljuna Covenant to FAC, and I'm thinking about doing some things with Muqali, which is slightly more in your way. Do you have any wiki-plans for the next few months? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 11:40, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hey Aza, Your rejection of Tatum's visual impairment was peremptory. I think that concept of Tatum being an incredible musician "despite" his visual impairment is absolutely apropos because he was basically unable to read music or even see the keyboard like other piano players. That made his "musicality" even more amazing. In addition, the article is not about Tatum's musicality; it's about Art Tatum. 98.244.137.86 ( talk) 15:53, 27 June 2023 (UTC)kolef 98.244.137.86 ( talk) 15:53, 27 June 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.137.86 ( talk) 13:49, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, you may or may not remember this situation, but this editor's still going at it ... see this edit to Victor Hugo, made less than 24 hours ago!

Regarding our recent edits at
Anthony Tommasini where you added a the parameter |url=
to a {{
Cite Grove}} citation that already had a
DOI identifier. That URL leads readers who click on it exactly to the same page as the link provided by the DOI and is thus redundant. The same applies to URLs to worldcat.org /
OCLC and other similar identifiers like
JSTOR. Readers should not be presented with 2 clickable links that point to the same resource, so removing the URL is reasonable, because readers expect a link to the actual text there. This removal is recommended at
Template:Cite encyclopedia ({{Cite Grove}}, the template in question in Tommasini's article, is a wrapper for {{
Cite encyclopedia}}): "It is not necessary to specify a URL to a link identical to a link also produced by an identifier." This has been discussed several times, e.g. at
Help talk:Citation Style 1/Archive 68#Don't add a doi.org link if you're using the |doi= parameter. There are automated tools that, among other things, perform such removal; e.g.
Citation bot, "Bot approval", #8: "... duplicate URLs for online sources and identifiers (like JSTOR, bibcode and ASIN)." With all that in mind, my removal of the URL was entirely uncontroversial (and I can't see how you can describe it as "passive aggressive" and "not collegial").
I'm very grateful for your expansion of this article (I sat next to him during an opera once, and really like his writing), but collegially I suggest you take note of WP:OWN, and particularly of the Wikipedia standards for citations. I suggest you revert your reversal. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 09:29, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

my story today |
Great music (in June, I'm behind: three great RMF concerts)! - Last Saturday, a friend played for us at her birthday party, on four instruments including baryton, with family (granddaughters!) and colleagues, from Renaissance to Haydn. - My story today is very personal: the DYK appeared on Wikipedia's 15th birthday, and describes a concert I sang. I was requested to translate the bio into German for a memorial concert ... - see background, and we talked about life and death. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:09, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
I would just like to comment on your edit, with summary: "is this a joke? This sentence literally just says that he wrote no organ works??". Well, no, it says no such thing. It says that Gaston Litaize asked Dutilleux to write something for him (GL), and nothing came of this particular attempted commission. So I see no reason to delete this bit, since it appears to be sourced appropriately. Imaginatorium ( talk) 05:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi there,
Could you do a source review of the 95th Academy Awards for featured list consideration? I would appreciate the feedback.
Hello! I've just finished up at Tolui, but I wanted to ask about something I haven't found a legitimate source for. The article used to have (and still does, commented out in the infobox) information on Tolui's posthumous regnal and temple names—from the infobox: Rensheng Jingxiang ( 仁 聖 景 襄 皇 帝) and (Ruizong ( 睿宗). Do you know a good source to cite on this? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 19:41, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Aza24:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hope I'm not stepping on your toes with my recent edits, and I definitely didn't mean any personal criticism in talk:Euclid. My comments there were more directed at the article Euclid's Elements which I think could use significant expansion – we could probably even do with a separate page about each book of the Elements. But were intended mainly as an invitation to an apparent expert to contribute directly rather than just using 'external links' sections for self promotion, not as any kind of comment about you or other previous editors volunteering your contributions.
Anyway, thanks for your improvements to Euclid. It's a pretty frequently read page (~50k views per month), and has benefited a lot from your efforts. – jacobolus (t) 16:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.

I was wondering if, given that I have never undertaken a biography of a living person before, you might assist with me with what I hope would be a relatively simple / quick bio article for Andrew Barnett (music writer), who as you may know wrote the 2007 biography Sibelius, was the project consultant of BIS Record's Sibelius Edition, and is the head of the UK Sibelius Society (and runs the website SibeliusOne.com).

Could you do a source review for 54th Academy Awards for its featured list promotion? I would greatly appreciate your feedback
What's the regulation on providing a small raw quotation from the Hanshu for historical detail if there's no original argument? There is no opposition to the argument, despite over sixty years, and the source is quoted by the high ranking scholars even if they comment more directly on the subject than the history.

my story today |
Great music (in June, I'm behind: three great RMF concerts)! - Last Saturday, a friend played for us at her birthday party, on four instruments including baryton, with family (granddaughters!) and colleagues, from Renaissance to Haydn. - My story today is very personal: the DYK appeared on Wikipedia's 15th birthday, and describes a concert I sang. I was requested to translate the bio into German for a memorial concert ... - see background, and we talked about life and death. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:09, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
I would just like to comment on your edit, with summary: "is this a joke? This sentence literally just says that he wrote no organ works??". Well, no, it says no such thing. It says that Gaston Litaize asked Dutilleux to write something for him (GL), and nothing came of this particular attempted commission. So I see no reason to delete this bit, since it appears to be sourced appropriately. Imaginatorium ( talk) 05:56, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi there,
Could you do a source review of the 95th Academy Awards for featured list consideration? I would appreciate the feedback.
Hello! I've just finished up at Tolui, but I wanted to ask about something I haven't found a legitimate source for. The article used to have (and still does, commented out in the infobox) information on Tolui's posthumous regnal and temple names—from the infobox: Rensheng Jingxiang ( 仁 聖 景 襄 皇 帝) and (Ruizong ( 睿宗). Do you know a good source to cite on this? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 19:41, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey Aza, since you expressed interest in the Fuzuli FAC, I was wondering if you would like to review the article as well, of course, if you have the time and inclination. Cheers! — Golden talk 11:15, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Today's music is played by my brother's orchestra, conducted by two very young men on their way up, - the picture was taken shortly after the invasion of Ukraine began, - more detail on my talk. Images reached the day of the Tenebrae concert mentioned in July. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Our festival's last concert was most moving and inspiring, and there are seconds of it - plus glimpses of an interview with the conductor, age 96 - in this tv summary. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:39, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello Aza24:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

My story today is sad but great. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:27, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
A few more pics, and see my talk for what we sang today, and what Tabea Zimmermann played ( today's story on her birthday): I heard it, and it's on YouTube. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
More pics, and today's story is on a birthday, and the real DYK was already on that birthday -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:45, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
User talk:Gerda Arendt#Music keeps track of "my" music and memories, and just today I have a juxtaposition of music performed by the two church choirs in town, one I sang in and one where I listened, to music about love, evening and night. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:49, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
Today, it's a place that inspired me, musings if you have time. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 12:35, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Vacation pictures offered if you click on songs, and my story today is a DYK hook from 13 years ago OTD: about the great music at one of my churches. Mozart's Requiem to come on Sunday, coupled with Arvo Pärt's Da pacem Domine, - I guess you might come if it was a bit closer. Perhaps watch the video of our last production, our first on yt, ever. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:22, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

It is done, my friend. GAN up, PR opened. You gave me the impetus to start properly, so it owes a large part of its existence to you. Hope you're well, and if you can give any comments, you know they would be really appreciated. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 22:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help this dispute come to a resolution.
Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you!

Hope I'm not stepping on your toes with my recent edits, and I definitely didn't mean any personal criticism in talk:Euclid. My comments there were more directed at the article Euclid's Elements which I think could use significant expansion – we could probably even do with a separate page about each book of the Elements. But were intended mainly as an invitation to an apparent expert to contribute directly rather than just using 'external links' sections for self promotion, not as any kind of comment about you or other previous editors volunteering your contributions.
Anyway, thanks for your improvements to Euclid. It's a pretty frequently read page (~50k views per month), and has benefited a lot from your efforts. – jacobolus (t) 16:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—will take place this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24.
If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.
Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors

Hello. I apologize if I am disturbing you at this time, but I was just wondering if this article that I found might be considered a proper citation. I do not want to make the same mistake as last time so I am wondering if you could tell please me if I can use this article as a proper citation.

hello, you mentioned activism in my trying to sort out the topic of Chinese Legalism. But while I intend to present opposite opinions, I would like to mention that my work is based on the Stanford Encyclopedia and other famous writers in it. It has just been a very difficult topic to sort out. I've appreciated your input. FourLights ( talk) 21:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Aza! I was wondering if, given that I have never undertaken a biography of a living person before, you might assist with me with what I hope would be a relatively simple / quick bio article for Andrew Barnett (music writer), who as you may know wrote the 2007 biography Sibelius, was the project consultant of BIS Record's Sibelius Edition, and is the head of the UK Sibelius Society (and runs the website SibeliusOne.com). Do you think he is notable enough? I've started a sandbox effort at User:Silence of Järvenpää/Work (*). Happy holidays and happy new year! ~ Silence of Järvenpää 17:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
HI there,
Could you do a source review for 54th Academy Awards for its featured list promotion? I would greatly appreciate your feedback
What's the regulation on providing a small raw quotation from the Hanshu for historical detail if there's no original argument? There is no opposition to the argument, despite over sixty years, and the source is quoted by the high ranking scholars even if they comment more directly on the subject than the history.
