In answer to your query I removed the categories from the redirects because standard practice, as per WP:REDIRECT - most redirect pages are not placed in article categories. Given that none of these pages are actually articles it is fairly evident that they should not be included in an album category. On this basis I would appreciate it if you revert your recent changes.

Hello Koavf,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

If you wish to start doing this, can you please get consensus at either Template talk:Album ratings or WT:MOSALBUM? I really hope this is not something you've started here and intend to carry on elsewhere. As I said in my edit summary to The Lookout (album), you have previously been concerned about font size in other templates, so why you have used fraction templates to render text even more minuscule in a template that already uses 85/90% font size baffles me—I could barely make out what those scores even said and I have fine eyesight. I have also never seen the fraction template utilised for this purpose, and that certainly tells me something—that most users don't consider it appropriate. I don't think it's appropriate nor correct, nor do I believe every score out of another should be treated as a fraction. You've also put decimal scores in fraction templates, which is just bizarre. If you reply here, I do not wish to be pinged. Thank you. Ss 112 20:07, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

This is just not a thing we do, and is not done on any list, nor should it be. Were you just trying to find edits to make to articles I had edited recently after I edited a couple of pages you had edited today? It really seems like it. We're not sourcing the date. The source for the number one should be in a separate column at the end of the entry to signify that it sources the whole thing. You also added a WP:REPEATLINK.

Hi. Thank you for starting this article. I noticed it as it is a redirect I created and had watchlisted. However, I wanted to ask, where did you get the genre and recording year from? I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but these are considered contentious details for most albums that a lot of users will take issue with if they're not directly cited. If you got pop rock from the sidebar of AllMusic, that's not considered reliable per WP:RSMUSIC. I checked out the AllMusic review and I scanned the news article cited, but I didn't see anywhere it said Loeb recorded the album in 2019. I could have missed it though. If you got it from somewhere, it'd be appreciated if you could provide a direct citation for it. Thanks. Ss 112 05:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

That's the correct template for the formatting of the tracklisting. It was used on both of her prior albums and it used in all other major album releases that I've come across.

It is rude and aggressive to nominate many images on Black Mirror episode articles in separate consecutive "Files for discussion"s in the manner in which you have done. If you had concerns on this, you should have first raised them at a forum like Talk:Black Mirror given that many of the articles are GAs and FAs. Based on the speed of your nominations, I trust that you have not seen consensus for individual images at places like Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/San Junipero/archive2, nor read the individual fair use rationales written with NFCC#8 in mind, nor read the articles and observed how the caption justifies the image under NFCC#8, or why the image is necessary to understanding a facet of each article. — Bilorv ( talk) 07:31, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
The scene, visual style of the episode and characterisation of Kelly and Yorkie are discussed extensively in the Plot, Analysis and Critical reception sections of the article(after an explanation of how the image demonstrates each of these attributes). Whether or not you agree with this, you should comment on it in a deletion rationale. Instead you wrote that the image was
not used for critical commentary or educational value but purely for decoration. That's not a good faith reading of the image rationale. I see now that you've not nominated images for every episode, which makes me think that you believe some of the episode images' fair use rationales to be acceptable. Perhaps it would have been better to open with this and then discussing how the 10 episodes you've distinguished are different from the other 12, and whether it's possible to strengthen rationales, use a better image or whether nothing is appropriate unless the article is further developed, or ever. — Bilorv ( talk) 18:49, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

On Sufjan Stevens discography, may I ask why you removed the font size reductions for featured/guest artists?

Hi, sorry, about Template:Infobox U.S. state symbols, we can talk at the discussion there, but MOS:SCROLL has more to say than the bolded text. The reason that text can be collapsed by default, per MOS:SCROLL, is if that text is just a table repeating information already included in the article. Since all 50 states have sections title "State symbols", I think this applies, and the template can be set to be collapsed by default. Happy to discuss further if you see it another way.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 01:59, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Koavf. I have been approached by Ss112 who is concerned that you may be watching his talk page and then engaging in unfriendly editing based on issues that pop up there. While I don't know the background, and would prefer not to go there, I am generally aware that the two of you are not exactly on each other's Christmas card list. Also I have not gone digging around his talk page editing history and tried to cross check to see if there is any pattern between your editing and what shows up on his page. So this should be regarded as a gentle and informal reminder that while there is no rule against watchlisting another editor's talk page, it is considered bad form to follow them around on pages that are of interest to them. This should not be understood as any imputation of bad faith editing on my part. However I would ask that you please be sensitive to this concern, and to the extent reasonable, kindly try and keep some distance between your editing and Ss112's. I do realize that you have overlapping areas of interest so this may not be possible in all circumstances. But your cooperation here, as far as practicable would be greatly appreciated. I really would rather that we avoid any unnecessary unpleasantness here. Thank you for your long history of commitment to the project. Best regards... - Ad Orientem ( talk) 00:28, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Sigh. Despite having just been called onto the carpet for improper use of the template editor user right, you recently made an edit to Infobox album, a template with 155,000 transclusions, without testing it in the sandbox first. Your edit summary was "See if this works". You introduced an undesirable line break, failed to limit the categorization to main space, and failed to account for the situation in which an infobox lacking a cover could, illogically, be placed in the "lacking alt text" category (see The 13th Warrior). Please use the sandbox and the testcases page, and Special:ExpandTemplates, to test edits to widely used templates. I have cleaned up after you this time, except for the no cover / no alt text logic, which I encourage you to experiment with in the template's sandbox. Feel free to ask for help on the template's talk page. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 04:09, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Any article using {{Infobox album}} with a blank field for the alt text is classified here for clean up.(emphasis added). It's your test, so set it up how you want, but please ensure that the category description matches the test's logic.
I see you're been adding the headline parameter in several articles such as this. While I don't mind that, but why you added "album title track listing"? I don't see any reason to add "track listing" since the section obviously called that. It's kinda pointless, it should just celled the album's title instead. TheAmazingPeanuts ( talk) 05:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
I actually wanted to ask about this, too, and though I read the above discussion, I'm still not quite understanding the need to put "[album name] track listing" above a listing that is for a single album with no ambiguous delineations. I feel it's a bit redundant, but that is perhaps just me. You're an incredibly experienced user, so I just want to understand. Before undoing your edit on the Say Nothing (album) article (which I apologize for and will not do again), I took a look at the track listing template and the advice given for the headline parameter doesn't seem to stipulate what you've done, so it might be confusing to other or less experienced editors (e.g., me). Is there any way to edit the template page to state something to this effect? I would greatly appreciate your insight/advice on this. Thank you! — Miss Sarita 18:55, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I began to add AOTY in several articles such as After Hours, The Life of Pablo, and Bandana. In the article Fetch the Bolt Cutters, I already see there are some disagreements between editors Jimmio78 and Sebastian James over this website been added in the rating template. Should this website be added in WP:ALBUMSOURCE alone with AnyDecentMusic? TheAmazingPeanuts ( talk) 04:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
... Fetch the Bolt Cutters, I already see there are some disagreements between editors Jimmio78 and Sebastian James over this website...What? Do you want to discuss "
We really don't need THREE aggregator scores; the AOTY score doesn't tell us anything new, and it is very rarely included here."? I think their reason is not valid because a) there is no rule that says two aggregators are the maximum limit. b) ADM is no different from AOTY, both are very rarely included on the page and neither of them tells us "anything new"... We only had a disagreement when Jimmio78 removed another rating while adding The Guardian, which I think has already been solved. Please do not make any assumptions. −αΣn=1NDi[n][Σj∈C{i}Fji[n − 1]+Fexti[(n^−1)] 09:53, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
On 26 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alphabetland, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that punk pioneer band X's 2020 album Alphabetland, released on the 40th anniversary of their debut album Los Angeles, was the first featuring the original lineup in 35 years? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alphabetland. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Alphabetland), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey Koavf! I gather from various revision histories that you are a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins. I thought it might interest you to know we've started a dedicated fan wiki at https://spcodex.wiki. Billy Corgan himself has expressed interest in it. Come join us! There's still a ton of work to do, and frankly we could really use someone else who's super knowledgeable with MediaWiki :) Cheers and hope you are well, — MusikAnimal talk 19:15, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at List of Parks and Recreation episodes shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- / Alex/ 21 22:38, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Justin... just as an aside from your discussion about the use of Spill magazine on Alphabetland (I reckon it's OK, but Sergecross73 usually does a more thorough examination of these things), I noticed you've added some of the reviews as fractions (7⁄10 rather than 7/10) and the aggregate scores just as a score, not out of 100. It's nothing that I'm going to get too fussed about, but it's different from how these scores are presented in other articles, and I wondered how the fractions would meet MOS:ACCESSIBILITY requirements regarding their size.

Hello. To answer your question, I always use Template:cite because it is neater and I prefer markup to a simple url and label. I realise it isn't necessary in EL, but as long as you don't include an accessdate it makes little or no difference. It imparts the same information. I checked the EL page and if you look at WP:ELCITE it says editors who use citation templates in the EL section should be careful to ensure the resulting description is appropriate for an external link. I'm satisfied that the description is appropriate and it's a case of preference between two options that produce the same result. Thanks. No Great Shaker ( talk) 19:17, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Hello Koavf,
The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.
Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

If you wish to start doing this, can you please get consensus at either Template talk:Album ratings or WT:MOSALBUM? I really hope this is not something you've started here and intend to carry on elsewhere. As I said in my edit summary to The Lookout (album), you have previously been concerned about font size in other templates, so why you have used fraction templates to render text even more minuscule in a template that already uses 85/90% font size baffles me—I could barely make out what those scores even said and I have fine eyesight. I have also never seen the fraction template utilised for this purpose, and that certainly tells me something—that most users don't consider it appropriate. I don't think it's appropriate nor correct, nor do I believe every score out of another should be treated as a fraction. You've also put decimal scores in fraction templates, which is just bizarre. If you reply here, I do not wish to be pinged. Thank you. Ss 112 20:07, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

This is just not a thing we do, and is not done on any list, nor should it be. Were you just trying to find edits to make to articles I had edited recently after I edited a couple of pages you had edited today? It really seems like it. We're not sourcing the date. The source for the number one should be in a separate column at the end of the entry to signify that it sources the whole thing. You also added a WP:REPEATLINK. Overall, that was a strange edit to make. If you think it's an improvement, by all means, please open a discussion on the/a relevant article talk page. Ss 112 05:10, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for starting this article. I noticed it as it is a redirect I created and had watchlisted. However, I wanted to ask, where did you get the genre and recording year from? I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but these are considered contentious details for most albums that a lot of users will take issue with if they're not directly cited. If you got pop rock from the sidebar of AllMusic, that's not considered reliable per WP:RSMUSIC. I checked out the AllMusic review and I scanned the news article cited, but I didn't see anywhere it said Loeb recorded the album in 2019. I could have missed it though. If you got it from somewhere, it'd be appreciated if you could provide a direct citation for it. Thanks. Ss 112 05:20, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

That's the correct template for the formatting of the tracklisting. It was used on both of her prior albums and it used in all other major album releases that I've come across.

It is rude and aggressive to nominate many images on Black Mirror episode articles in separate consecutive "Files for discussion"s in the manner in which you have done. If you had concerns on this, you should have first raised them at a forum like Talk:Black Mirror given that many of the articles are GAs and FAs. Based on the speed of your nominations, I trust that you have not seen consensus for individual images at places like Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/San Junipero/archive2, nor read the individual fair use rationales written with NFCC#8 in mind, nor read the articles and observed how the caption justifies the image under NFCC#8, or why the image is necessary to understanding a facet of each article. — Bilorv ( talk) 07:31, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
The scene, visual style of the episode and characterisation of Kelly and Yorkie are discussed extensively in the Plot, Analysis and Critical reception sections of the article(after an explanation of how the image demonstrates each of these attributes). Whether or not you agree with this, you should comment on it in a deletion rationale. Instead you wrote that the image was
not used for critical commentary or educational value but purely for decoration. That's not a good faith reading of the image rationale. I see now that you've not nominated images for every episode, which makes me think that you believe some of the episode images' fair use rationales to be acceptable. Perhaps it would have been better to open with this and then discussing how the 10 episodes you've distinguished are different from the other 12, and whether it's possible to strengthen rationales, use a better image or whether nothing is appropriate unless the article is further developed, or ever. — Bilorv ( talk) 18:49, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi, sorry, about Template:Infobox U.S. state symbols, we can talk at the discussion there, but MOS:SCROLL has more to say than the bolded text. The reason that text can be collapsed by default, per MOS:SCROLL, is if that text is just a table repeating information already included in the article. Since all 50 states have sections title "State symbols", I think this applies, and the template can be set to be collapsed by default. Happy to discuss further if you see it another way.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 01:59, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Koavf. I have been approached by Ss112 who is concerned that you may be watching his talk page and then engaging in unfriendly editing based on issues that pop up there. While I don't know the background, and would prefer not to go there, I am generally aware that the two of you are not exactly on each other's Christmas card list. Also I have not gone digging around his talk page editing history and tried to cross check to see if there is any pattern between your editing and what shows up on his page. So this should be regarded as a gentle and informal reminder that while there is no rule against watchlisting another editor's talk page, it is considered bad form to follow them around on pages that are of interest to them. This should not be understood as any imputation of bad faith editing on my part. However I would ask that you please be sensitive to this concern, and to the extent reasonable, kindly try and keep some distance between your editing and Ss112's. I do realize that you have overlapping areas of interest so this may not be possible in all circumstances. But your cooperation here, as far as practicable would be greatly appreciated. I really would rather that we avoid any unnecessary unpleasantness here. Thank you for your long history of commitment to the project. Best regards... - Ad Orientem ( talk) 00:28, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Sigh. Despite having just been called onto the carpet for improper use of the template editor user right, you recently made an edit to Infobox album, a template with 155,000 transclusions, without testing it in the sandbox first. Your edit summary was "See if this works". You introduced an undesirable line break, failed to limit the categorization to main space, and failed to account for the situation in which an infobox lacking a cover could, illogically, be placed in the "lacking alt text" category (see The 13th Warrior). Please use the sandbox and the testcases page, and Special:ExpandTemplates, to test edits to widely used templates. I have cleaned up after you this time, except for the no cover / no alt text logic, which I encourage you to experiment with in the template's sandbox. Feel free to ask for help on the template's talk page. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 04:09, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Any article using {{Infobox album}} with a blank field for the alt text is classified here for clean up.(emphasis added). It's your test, so set it up how you want, but please ensure that the category description matches the test's logic.
I see you're been adding the headline parameter in several articles such as this. While I don't mind that, but why you added "album title track listing"? I don't see any reason to add "track listing" since the section obviously called that. It's kinda pointless, it should just celled the album's title instead. TheAmazingPeanuts ( talk) 05:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
I actually wanted to ask about this, too, and though I read the above discussion, I'm still not quite understanding the need to put "[album name] track listing" above a listing that is for a single album with no ambiguous delineations. I feel it's a bit redundant, but that is perhaps just me. You're an incredibly experienced user, so I just want to understand. Before undoing your edit on the Say Nothing (album) article (which I apologize for and will not do again), I took a look at the track listing template and the advice given for the headline parameter doesn't seem to stipulate what you've done, so it might be confusing to other or less experienced editors (e.g., me). Is there any way to edit the template page to state something to this effect? I would greatly appreciate your insight/advice on this. Thank you! — Miss Sarita 18:55, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

We really don't need THREE aggregator scores; the AOTY score doesn't tell us anything new, and it is very rarely included here."? I think their reason is not valid because a) there is no rule that says two aggregators are the maximum limit. b) ADM is no different from AOTY, both are very rarely included on the page and neither of them tells us "anything new"...

Your recent editing history at List of Parks and Recreation episodes shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- / Alex/ 21 22:38, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Should there not be a separate category for Music released during the Covid-19 pandemdic? The category "impact of covid-19" doesn't make sense for the song " Murder Most Foul". The song's release wasn't necessarily impacted by Covid, it was just released during COVID. → Lil-℧niquԐ1 - ( Talk) - 13:57, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Justin, hope you're doing well. As you know, University Library has been closed since late-ish March, so everyone has been working from home. It will be 6/1 at the earliest before we reopen in some capacity.

Hi Justin... just as an aside from your discussion about the use of Spill magazine on Alphabetland (I reckon it's OK, but Sergecross73 usually does a more thorough examination of these things), I noticed you've added some of the reviews as fractions (7⁄10 rather than 7/10) and the aggregate scores just as a score, not out of 100. It's nothing that I'm going to get too fussed about, but it's different from how these scores are presented in other articles, and I wondered how the fractions would meet MOS:ACCESSIBILITY requirements regarding their size.

A tag has been placed on Category talk:Assyrian tribes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
This page serves no purpose as there is a page title "List of Assyrian tribes" that contains the same info. The "List of Assyrian tribes" page is being planned to be moved to "Assyrian tribes" but this Category page is blocking that move. In summary, deleting this category page and moving "List of Assyrian tribes" to "Assyrian tribes" would clean things up.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

Question: Is this a reasonable search term as a redirect? I'm dubious, given the title-stacking and odd spacing/punctuation. I'm considering taking this to RfD, but I wanted to get your view first. Maybe move it to a cleaned-up version of the title? Thanks. -- Finngall talk 20:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Hey, just curious what you meant by your edit comment when you removed the hat linking to Killing of George Floyd from George Floyd (American football) [6] The removal seems lopsided since Killing of George Floyd links to the football player, but not vice versa.

Someone asked a very complicated question about Wikidata on the Help Desk that didn't get an answer. I saw in an article history you know at least something about Wikidata.

I don't know if you saw the discussion about Wikidata infoboxes, but they are pretty bad because anyone can edit them and there's no way to make them easily conform to the article text. I recently saw a wikidata short description that misrepresented a political organisation. Doug Weller talk 10:20, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello. To answer your question, I always use Template:cite because it is neater and I prefer markup to a simple url and label. I realise it isn't necessary in EL, but as long as you don't include an accessdate it makes little or no difference. It imparts the same information. I checked the EL page and if you look at WP:ELCITE it says editors who use citation templates in the EL section should be careful to ensure the resulting description is appropriate for an external link. I'm satisfied that the description is appropriate and it's a case of preference between two options that produce the same result. Thanks. No Great Shaker ( talk) 19:17, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Koavf,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.
