Hi there
Just a query. Should Saltdean, England be separated? Please see revisions. I thought separated. User:HelpingWorld thinks not. May I ask your thoughts on this, please? Having looked at many other missing people articles, I can see that the town is nearly always separated from the Country. Paragraph in question is below.
Owen Harding disappeared at the age of 16 from Saltdean, England, where he lived.[1] Nothing has been heard from him since his disappearance.[2][3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrownieFudgeLawyer ( talk • contribs) 00:50, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi FormalDude. I see that you are an active editor and a member of WP:LGBT. I have a pending edit request at Talk:Alphonso David relating to correcting misinformation and neutralizing some of the content. I would appreciate your consideration of these changes and implementation of the necessary corrections. Thank you. LS for David ( talk) 15:59, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
You moved disputed content, noting the talk page dispute in your edit summary [1], but then removed the POV tag even though the RSN discussion you called for [2] is still open and the issue has not been resolved.

Hi FormalDude.

Hi FormalDude - Thanks for being a mentor. I have only been editing for less than a month. I wanted to update/correct an article 'Photolith film'. It relates to a field I worked in for many years, so I was keen that there should be a correct record. All was going well. I decided to retitle (move) the article, as Photolith is not a term used by either users or manufacturers of these materials. Now Praxidicae has appeared on the scene and reversed all my actions. Saying that we do things by consensus. Sounds good... but how do we do that? -- DerekAP ( talk) 15:37, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

On behalf of the New pages patrol School, congratulations! You have successfully completed all assignments and have now graduated from the School. Well done! It's been a real pleasure to work with you and I hope you gained something from this course. All the best and thank you so much for your willingness to help Wikipedia in this role.

Hello. As you're currently listed as a host at the Teahouse, I wanted to make sure you're aware of the imminent rollout of new Growth Team Features which every new account will be getting by default. Each users will soon see a new 'Homepage' tab next to their User page. It contains two main elements which might impact on your involvement - and you'd be welcome to get involved and help out directly with one of them.
To spread the load on our current list of around 65 mentors, I'm reaching out to ask if you'd like to help out and sign up as one? The workload is relatively small; User Panini! reports receiving four questions a month, on average, all of which were simple ones of the type we already get at the Teahouse, whilst I've had just one in the last 3 weeks. To view a list of every question asked of all mentors over the last 14 days, click here.
If becoming a mentor and being available to help new users on their first few days here interests you - just as have done at the Teahouse in the past - then please consider signing up at Growth Team features/Mentor list. But please only do so if you are genuinely willing to be available to help. Existing users can already 'opt-in' to seeing the Newcomer Homepage features via their Preferences.
Thank you! Nick Moyes ( talk) 15:16, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I didn't create this page: /info/en/?search=Disappearance_of_Damien_Nettles I have been amending and adding to it. It doesn't seem right that the references at the bottom are "repeating themselves" so to speak, if you see what I mean. Am I doing something wrong? Would you mind having a look, please?

Hello! You may or may not remember me from about a month ago; I made a mistaken RfC about the state of the article on Russ George, which had been systematically edited by a single editor over the course of a few months to effectively create a new and very biased article. You quickly reverted all the edits. Well, he's been at it again. I'm really not sure what to do here. I would just revert it, but that would likely lead to an edit war, which I've heard tell is bad; so I don't have much of an idea of what to do here. Apparently you regularly revert vandalized content, so what would you suggest? Thanks from Generalissimo Store ( talk) 04:08, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you sir, the most formal of all of the dudes, for your help cleaning up references in Draft:Renegade Air, my first new wikipedia article.
I am adding it because in January, I spent like 30,000Ksh (~US$280) helping my girlfriend join me in Kisumu for a funeral using Kenya Airways and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, when if we'd only known about Renegade, it would have been tons more convenient and probably 20,000Ksh less.
Hopefully this is a start to making a lot of Kenyan pages more accurate.
I'll try and pay closer attention to standards for both constructing refs, and ensuring I have enough. Stay awesome!

I noticed how you were using the template and saw some issues. The image is not working very well because it's width defaults to 80px, which adds whitespace to the bottom (not what the ukrainian flag looks like). To fix this, I added a parameter called |image-param=
which allows you to manually change the width or height of the image. According to
WP:Extended Image Syntax, you can set the height of the image by setting |image-param=
to x80px
.
You might not have noticed, but all links in the bio section are lighter than normal links. I originally did this because the default background color is very dark and you couldn't see the links. To combat this, you can set a new parameter, |link-style=
to color: unset
which will remove the custom color and make the links look a little darker.
I'm thinking I'm going to completely rewrite the template so that it has two modes: one where it can appear like it does in discord, and one that doesn't have so many default values so that will be more customizable for people who want to use the template like yourself. I'll let you know if I end up doing this. Thanks, ― Levi_OP Talk 14:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello FormalDude
I have done some additional research to find more citations for Draft:Simon Gerard. I have also improved the article to add more structure and substance to his page. Additionally, as he has been involved in numerous businesses, I believe that he is entitled to his own page, rather than being a subsection on other pages of Wikipedia.
He has been involved in a number of publicly listed Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), he has been mentioned, quoted or researched by numerous reputable and independent organisations, including the Australian Financial Review, news.com.au, Sydney Morning Herald, amongst others.

You should revert you closure [3] at Talk:Jussie Smollett. If you have concerns about WP:MUGSHOT than voice your concerns in the discussion; don't shut down the discussion. This was a premature and ill-timed closing. Iamreallygoodatcheckers ( talk) 03:19, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
Images of living persons should not be used out of context to present a person in a false or disparaging light. This is particularly important for police booking photographs (mugshots), or situations where the subject did not expect to be photographed. Any police photograph used to imply that the person depicted was charged with or convicted of a specific crime must be sourced to a top-quality reliable source with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that links the relevant image to the specific incident or crime in question.
The mugshot cannot be included without a top-quality reliable source with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that links the relevancy of the image to the specific incident,"Relevancy" simply means it is connected, and the Sheriff linked the image to the crime in question beyond a doubt. The publisher of the mugshot... the Sherriff of Cook County is the source of the relevancy, namely, that the mugshot is connected (i.e. "relevant") to the crime.

FormalDude, I'm reaching out to you in view of our past discussions on articles about the LDS Church and its' leaders. I had previously mentioned that the Ulisess Soares article was subject to a deletion discussion and ultimately kept. I'm reaching out to you because some recent comments on the Church Growth blog which indicate that an active effort is now underway to delete the articles about former apostles who are now deceased. John Pack Lambert mentioned some specific articles on that thread that are being targeted, and on what grounds such proposals have been made. Since you've been willing to work with me on figuring out a way to establish notability for the general leaders of the Church, I wanted to see if you'd be able to help weigh in on this matter as someone who is not affiliated with the LDS Church, but who has provided valuable feedback on articles covering leaders and topics related to the Church. If you don't have the availability or time, it's not a problem. If nothing else, I at least wanted to ensure you were advised about this given your familiarity with the problem courtesy of our past discussions on that. -- Jgstokes ( talk) 21:11, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi FormalDude,
Regardless of the outcome on the RFK Jr. page, I appreciate your thoroughness, it made me curious and I went to go check out your page. I noticed you have a
COI notification on your page (which states that you have never been paid for editing etc.). That is neat, I was not aware that such a "notification" existed, but upon stumbling on that page, I noticed the very slightest edit that I'd suggest you make (since it is not for me to edit someone else's page). I am a bit of an OCD nut on hyphens. If you note my edit history, I hunt down hyphens that really should be en dashes, and I fix them. Not a big deal, sure, but it is still correct to use an en dash when referring to a date range over a hyphen. You noted you worked for SoFi from "2019-2020", I'd suggest the slightest of slight changes (my specialty) to "I was employed by SoFi from 2019–2020." See the "en dash" there (– vs -). Thank you. And if you choose not to change this, no hard feelings either way.

Hello FormalDude, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kick me, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: It really doesn't fit A7, I was already watching and debating, but CSD doesn't fit here. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:37, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
While you were tagging it, I was already pouring over the CSD criteria, and it really doesn't fit any of them. I'm known to push the limits of CSD but you really can't here. I already reported that image as a copyvio to Commons. It does make sense as a redirect, however, so I did that. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:39, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for this. Just to clarify, a UK motorway like these is a specific term for a Controlled-access highway and the A34 isn't one – just an A-road, though the term "trunk road' sometimes creeps in too. Motorways have an M in the name, usually like M20 or M4 though you sometimes see something like A1(M) where there are some motorway standards and rules on an otherwise A road. Hope this helps! cheers DBaK ( talk) 07:11, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, FormalDude. For clarification, those edits I made on the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Punctuation were extended April Fools' jokes; but I can see why you reverted me. It was, after all, 2 April (on these servers at least).

Hi there! Was just wondering why you reverted my edit to the suicide prevention page about legislation? This is my first time editing on Wikipedia but our team spent a long term working on this section of text to be added, because we believe it to be useful for people to see what countries have dedicated time and money to suicide prevention and what different options here are. What kind of sources would you have me add besides the text to the original legislation?

Greetings! I've never done this before, but I wanted to ask that you please create a user box for me (and hopefully others) to use.

Hi. You undid a minor edit to Incarceration of women re problems with research and it is not understood why. Critical Thinker AU ( talk) 05:31, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi FormalDude - Thanks for being a mentor. I have only been editing for less than a month. I wanted to update/correct an article 'Photolith film'. It relates to a field I worked in for many years, so I was keen that there should be a correct record. All was going well. I decided to retitle (move) the article, as Photolith is not a term used by either users or manufacturers of these materials. Now Praxidicae has appeared on the scene and reversed all my actions. Saying that we do things by consensus. Sounds good... but how do we do that? -- DerekAP ( talk) 15:37, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

NPP School Graduate |
On behalf of the New pages patrol School, congratulations! You have successfully completed all assignments and have now graduated from the School. Well done! It's been a real pleasure to work with you and I hope you gained something from this course. All the best and thank you so much for your willingness to help Wikipedia in this role. Cassiopeia talk 02:05, 24 February 2022 (UTC) |
Hi FormalDude, You could apply for NPP reviewer user right at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer. Do mention you have graduated from NPPS and my name incase they need to verify. Thank you and stay safe. Cassiopeia talk 02:05, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
Hello. As you're currently listed as a host at the Teahouse, I wanted to make sure you're aware of the imminent rollout of new Growth Team Features which every new account will be getting by default. Each users will soon see a new 'Homepage' tab next to their User page. It contains two main elements which might impact on your involvement - and you'd be welcome to get involved and help out directly with one of them.
To spread the load on our current list of around 65 mentors, I'm reaching out to ask if you'd like to help out and sign up as one? The workload is relatively small; User Panini! reports receiving four questions a month, on average, all of which were simple ones of the type we already get at the Teahouse, whilst I've had just one in the last 3 weeks. To view a list of every question asked of all mentors over the last 14 days, click here.
If becoming a mentor and being available to help new users on their first few days here interests you - just as have done at the Teahouse in the past - then please consider signing up at Growth Team features/Mentor list. But please only do so if you are genuinely willing to be available to help. Existing users can already 'opt-in' to seeing the Newcomer Homepage features via their Preferences.
Thank you! Nick Moyes ( talk) 15:16, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
Hey Formal Dude I noticed you signed up for the Signpost thingy for Teahouse host, but you havent added a response to one of the questions.

Hello. I didn't create this page: /info/en/?search=Disappearance_of_Damien_Nettles I have been amending and adding to it. It doesn't seem right that the references at the bottom are "repeating themselves" so to speak, if you see what I mean. Am I doing something wrong? Would you mind having a look, please?

Hello! You may or may not remember me from about a month ago; I made a mistaken RfC about the state of the article on Russ George, which had been systematically edited by a single editor over the course of a few months to effectively create a new and very biased article. You quickly reverted all the edits. Well, he's been at it again. I'm really not sure what to do here. I would just revert it, but that would likely lead to an edit war, which I've heard tell is bad; so I don't have much of an idea of what to do here. Apparently you regularly revert vandalized content, so what would you suggest? Thanks from Generalissimo Store ( talk) 04:08, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you sir, the most formal of all of the dudes, for your help cleaning up references in Draft:Renegade Air, my first new wikipedia article.
I am adding it because in January, I spent like 30,000Ksh (~US$280) helping my girlfriend join me in Kisumu for a funeral using Kenya Airways and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, when if we'd only known about Renegade, it would have been tons more convenient and probably 20,000Ksh less.
Hopefully this is a start to making a lot of Kenyan pages more accurate.
I'll try and pay closer attention to standards for both constructing refs, and ensuring I have enough. Stay awesome!

I noticed how you were using the template and saw some issues. The image is not working very well because it's width defaults to 80px, which adds whitespace to the bottom (not what the ukrainian flag looks like). To fix this, I added a parameter called |image-param=
which allows you to manually change the width or height of the image. According to
WP:Extended Image Syntax, you can set the height of the image by setting |image-param=
to x80px
.
You might not have noticed, but all links in the bio section are lighter than normal links. I originally did this because the default background color is very dark and you couldn't see the links. To combat this, you can set a new parameter, |link-style=
to color: unset
which will remove the custom color and make the links look a little darker.
I'm thinking I'm going to completely rewrite the template so that it has two modes: one where it can appear like it does in discord, and one that doesn't have so many default values so that will be more customizable for people who want to use the template like yourself. I'll let you know if I end up doing this. Thanks, ― Levi_OP Talk 14:27, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello FormalDude
I have done some additional research to find more citations for Draft:Simon Gerard. I have also improved the article to add more structure and substance to his page. Additionally, as he has been involved in numerous businesses, I believe that he is entitled to his own page, rather than being a subsection on other pages of Wikipedia.
He has been involved in a number of publicly listed Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), he has been mentioned, quoted or researched by numerous reputable and independent organisations, including the Australian Financial Review, news.com.au, Sydney Morning Herald, amongst others.

You should revert you closure [3] at Talk:Jussie Smollett. If you have concerns about WP:MUGSHOT than voice your concerns in the discussion; don't shut down the discussion. This was a premature and ill-timed closing. Iamreallygoodatcheckers ( talk) 03:19, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
Images of living persons should not be used out of context to present a person in a false or disparaging light. This is particularly important for police booking photographs (mugshots), or situations where the subject did not expect to be photographed. Any police photograph used to imply that the person depicted was charged with or convicted of a specific crime must be sourced to a top-quality reliable source with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that links the relevant image to the specific incident or crime in question.
The mugshot cannot be included without a top-quality reliable source with a widely acknowledged reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that links the relevancy of the image to the specific incident,"Relevancy" simply means it is connected, and the Sheriff linked the image to the crime in question beyond a doubt. The publisher of the mugshot... the Sherriff of Cook County is the source of the relevancy, namely, that the mugshot is connected (i.e. "relevant") to the crime.

FormalDude, I'm reaching out to you in view of our past discussions on articles about the LDS Church and its' leaders. I had previously mentioned that the Ulisess Soares article was subject to a deletion discussion and ultimately kept. I'm reaching out to you because some recent comments on the Church Growth blog which indicate that an active effort is now underway to delete the articles about former apostles who are now deceased. John Pack Lambert mentioned some specific articles on that thread that are being targeted, and on what grounds such proposals have been made. Since you've been willing to work with me on figuring out a way to establish notability for the general leaders of the Church, I wanted to see if you'd be able to help weigh in on this matter as someone who is not affiliated with the LDS Church, but who has provided valuable feedback on articles covering leaders and topics related to the Church. If you don't have the availability or time, it's not a problem. If nothing else, I at least wanted to ensure you were advised about this given your familiarity with the problem courtesy of our past discussions on that. -- Jgstokes ( talk) 21:11, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi FormalDude,
Regardless of the outcome on the RFK Jr. page, I appreciate your thoroughness, it made me curious and I went to go check out your page. I noticed you have a
COI notification on your page (which states that you have never been paid for editing etc.). That is neat, I was not aware that such a "notification" existed, but upon stumbling on that page, I noticed the very slightest edit that I'd suggest you make (since it is not for me to edit someone else's page). I am a bit of an OCD nut on hyphens. If you note my edit history, I hunt down hyphens that really should be en dashes, and I fix them. Not a big deal, sure, but it is still correct to use an en dash when referring to a date range over a hyphen. You noted you worked for SoFi from "2019-2020", I'd suggest the slightest of slight changes (my specialty) to "I was employed by SoFi from 2019–2020." See the "en dash" there (– vs -). Thank you. And if you choose not to change this, no hard feelings either way.

Hello FormalDude, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kick me, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: It really doesn't fit A7, I was already watching and debating, but CSD doesn't fit here. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:37, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
While you were tagging it, I was already pouring over the CSD criteria, and it really doesn't fit any of them. I'm known to push the limits of CSD but you really can't here. I already reported that image as a copyvio to Commons. It does make sense as a redirect, however, so I did that. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:39, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for this. Just to clarify, a UK motorway like these is a specific term for a Controlled-access highway and the A34 isn't one – just an A-road, though the term "trunk road' sometimes creeps in too. Motorways have an M in the name, usually like M20 or M4 though you sometimes see something like A1(M) where there are some motorway standards and rules on an otherwise A road. Hope this helps! cheers DBaK ( talk) 07:11, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, FormalDude. For clarification, those edits I made on the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Punctuation were extended April Fools' jokes; but I can see why you reverted me. It was, after all, 2 April (on these servers at least).

Hi there! Was just wondering why you reverted my edit to the suicide prevention page about legislation? This is my first time editing on Wikipedia but our team spent a long term working on this section of text to be added, because we believe it to be useful for people to see what countries have dedicated time and money to suicide prevention and what different options here are. What kind of sources would you have me add besides the text to the original legislation?

Greetings! I've never done this before, but I wanted to ask that you please create a user box for me (and hopefully others) to use. The box would read "This user enjoys reading the Kalevala, Finland's national epic", but if that's too long to look good, then the second clause can be excised.
