Hi, your addition does come across as a content issue, not a format issue. It contradicts the preceding instructions and belongs under instructions for prep builders, not for nominators. Personally I don't think it's even necessary to mention. Best, Yoninah ( talk) 13:44, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
* The hook should be concise. The character count (including spaces and the question mark, but not including the...
or any(pictured)
should not exceed 200 characters. In general, shorter, punchy hooks are preferable to long, narrative hooks that tell the reader everything they need to know about the subject. The objective is to "hook" the reader into clicking on the article.
Hi Valereee, I wrote about something quite American, and would like to have some more American eyes on it so I haven't left in some British (or German) nonsense (haven't lived in the US for quite a while now). I'd be happy to see if you have any comments (or better DYK hooks, I'm not good with those). Happy editing — Kusma ( t· c) 11:28, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Your Opinion is More Important than You Think Barnstar | |
For a reply you made to someone else on
Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2019/Candidates/Discussion, but prompted me to think about its applicability to real life. Specifically, Diversity isn't about polarizing viewpoints, but actual diversity. It's something that seems obvious, but your analogy helped me realize that. So, I'm awarding this barnstar so you know the greater impact those words had on me. Clovermoss ( talk) 14:26, 7 December 2019 (UTC) |
Thanks, Clovermoss! It's always great to hear that something you've said made sense to at least one other person! :D --valereee ( talk) 14:48, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Valereee, I saw that your inquiry about Online Music Magazin didn't receive a response on the reliable sources noticeboard before it was archived. It looks marginally reliable to me, considering the publication's small editorial team and use of freelancers, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about the topic to give a confident answer.
For music-related sources like this one, you might be interested in asking the editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums, since that project maintains the album sources list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources ( WP:A/S). Hope this helps! — Newslinger talk 13:01, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for all your help and reply on Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#(Posted)_2019_Hyderabad_gang_rape. I find comments by Laserlegs, have similarities to a rant. What is he even saying after "Agree all you want" ? -- DBig Xrayᗙ 11:23, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
Agree all you want, I read articles before rushing to pile "support" on some "very important" bullshit if that's not good enough for y'all I don't know what to tell you." ?? that was some cryptic language being used there, I am not bothered to ask him what he actually meant, for fear of more such unpleasant comments, which I would rather avoid, So I asked you.-- DBig Xrayᗙ 14:55, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Valereee, I saw you added yourself as a member to Women in Green and added one of your recent GAs to the recent sucesses. Do you want to add that GA to part two of the 2019 goals page as well? Sportsfan77777 ( talk) 20:59, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.
Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.
Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.
Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.
Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

Send New Year cheer by adding {{ subst:Happy New Year fireworks}} to user talk pages.
You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without references are now being reverted on-sight but I've gone ahead and added one for the death of James Beard.
Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.
Thank you. Toddst1 ( talk) 18:08, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, valereee. I noticed that you encountered some opposition at WP:ERRORS, and I just wanted to drop by to tell you that, as I see it, you did everything perfectly right. You temporarily added a compromise image so the DYK section wouldn't look so... uh... naked without a picture while the discussion was ongoing, you offered up an alternative compromise for people to peruse, and ultimately restored the original image when you determined that there was consensus to do so.

Can I ask why you changed my DYK blurb for Donald Mackintosh (shooter)? The reviewer and promoter didn't have any objections to it, a heads-up would have been nice before it ran on the main page. Ivar the Boneful ( talk) 14:33, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Valereee, hope you had a good Christmas. Noticed you user page says you are on vacation, I've pinged you on the DYK talk page and if you could reply when you get the time I would really appreciate it, thank you Steven (Editor) ( talk) 00:41, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

On 30 December 2019, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Jerry Herman, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. — Amakuru ( talk) 10:48, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
The article was in Category:Good articles without topic parameter because the former topic was invalid (not recognized). I fixed it.

We have got an user, who seem to have a longstanding pattern of using rhetorical edit summaries, often transgressing into personal attacks. Some words from an admin might be needed, in that my template-warning did not work out, as apparent from the continuation over here. Please deal in a manner, as you deem fit :) ∯WBG converse 16:53, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Valereee,
Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable
New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Send New Year cheer by adding {{ subst:Happy New Year fireworks}} to user talk pages.
You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without references are now being reverted on-sight but I've gone ahead and added one for the death of James Beard.
Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages.
Thank you. Toddst1 ( talk) 18:08, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I know things are moving rapidly on a 2-a-day schedule, but there's a discussion about the last hook in this set ( Fountain of the Pear Tree Canals) over at WT:DYK and the hook needs to be rewritten. Would you mind swapping it with Rumcajs in Prep 1 so we can work on it? Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 14:09, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

On 19 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Makiyakinabe, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Japanese rolled omelettes are made with rectangular pans (examples pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Makiyakinabe. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Makiyakinabe), 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.

Hi, valereee. I noticed that you encountered some opposition at WP:ERRORS, and I just wanted to drop by to tell you that, as I see it, you did everything perfectly right. You temporarily added a compromise image so the DYK section wouldn't look so... uh... naked without a picture while the discussion was ongoing, you offered up an alternative compromise for people to peruse, and ultimately restored the original image when you determined that there was consensus to do so. Thank you for this, and all of your thoughtful and conscientious work on DYK. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 07:31, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi Valereee! Hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up on the Cincinnati Art+Feminism edit-a-thon that took place in December; I've included a line item about it in January's Ohio Wikimedians newsletter. If you have more details and stats about the outcomes of the event, it would be great to include them. Thank you! ~ Super Hamster Talk Contribs 00:24, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
