I noticed you deleted the gallery to this article. I'd suggest that some photos of his buildings be included somewhere in the article, either as a gallery or aligned with the text. Although Wikipedia discourages galleries, the "visual arts" are listed as an exception. ("Some subjects easily lend themselves to image-heavy articles for which image galleries are suitable, such as plants (e.g., Lily), fashion (e.g., Wedding dress), and the visual arts (e.g., Oil painting)."

Perhaps this is a situation where more images in the article are appropriate. I notice that for some architects, the photos of their work form a column at the right edge, which would be another approach. Canadian2006 ( talk) 04:16, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
I have reverted your edits to Marysville, Washington, because they introduced several grammatical and factual errors. "Downtown" should not be capitalized for cities that do not have a significant enough core that warrants their own article; removing "City of" in front of Marysville leads to confusion between the city as a place vs. the city government as an entity; and highways within their own state do not need to be disambiguated, especially with a postal code.

Hi Keystone18, is there a reason you have been adding |upright=1.1
on images (such as
here)? Per
MOS:IMAGES, image thumbnails should be the default size unless there is a compelling reason to do so. If you simply prefer larger images, you can change that on the "Appearance" tab under
Special:Preferences. Cheers,

Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified. This ignores the user's base width setting, so upright = scaling factor is preferred whenever possible.It is not saying to always use "upright" - it is saying that it is the proper method when a non-default size is needed. That should be made clear by a later bullet point:
Where a smaller or larger image is appropriate, use | upright =scaling factor...There is no reason to use non-default sizes for the vast majority of images - and you have failed to provide any policy-based justification to do so - and you have continued to do this despite at least three different users asking you to stop.

Hi. I work for Glenn Dubin making sure the Wikipedia article about him is neutral and updated. I noticed that you are a participant in WikiProject:Biography. I am hoping therefore, that you might want to help with an edit request I submitted here at Talk:Glenn_Dubin#Early_life,_Career,_and_Personal_life_sections in which most of the bullet points of the edit request were implemented, but there are still two left that I would like completed. You can see the discussion about those last two points if you follow the above link, but for your convenience I will briefly summarize: the first is an issue of a paywalled source for a small edit— adding the word "philanthropy" as one of the reasons Dubin retired; the second is whether a line in the "Personal life" section, which I believe should be removed, is more like "celebrity gossip" than useful information that belongs in an encyclopedia. I would really appreciate if you could look this over and see what you think, and implement the remaining bullet points if you agree the edits improve the article. Thanks so much.

What is the reasoning for you moving the Commons category link to the right side on 12–13th & Locust station? Per MOS:ELLAYOUT, inline links are preferred for articles like this where the box would be pushed down by the infobox. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 23:52, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
Sometimes box-type templates are not aesthetically pleasing, either because there are no external links except sister project ones, or because they result in an odd layout, such as a long sequence of right-aligned boxes hanging off the bottom of the article or excessive white space when the section is laid out in columns. In such cases, consider using "inline" templates...(emphasis mine). Because the infobox is longer than the article text, the right-aligned Commons category box is widely separated from the external links. Pi.1415926535 ( talk) 00:15, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Sorry about reverting all of your edits on Mulgrew Miller. I subsequently restored a lot of the changes; as I mentioned in a comment there, the system didn't let me make smaller changes, so I had to revert everything then restore some. It has been stable as a Good Article for a long time, which doesn't mean that it can't be better, but it does mean that major restructuring probably isn't required. I realise that you hadn't finished, but sections such as "Wallace Roney" containing only half a sentence on Roney, with the rest on Miller's other late 1980s work, highlighted that a chronological presentation with matching headings makes more sense for Miller (and for most jazz musicians of the modern era – there simply isn't enough work for all except a few to sustain one activity (big band membership, for example) exclusively and for a long time. I hope that this and the edit summaries make sense, and thank you for the textual improvements. EddieHugh ( talk) 13:10, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

About the Newsletter
Hello Keystone18,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hello @ Keystone18. I am @ Archer1234. I noticed your recent edits where you have updated the statistics in articles for U.S. high schools using recently updated information from NCES. Thank you for doing that. It is a lot of work to update all of the schools each year, so your efforts are much appreciated.
However, I would like to note one thing that should be done at the same time you update the statistics. Whenever we update articles based on a cited source that has updated their information, then we update the |access-date=
parameter of the reference to show when the reference was last accessed and used to change the data in the article. In this case, when you update the enrollment, teachers, and student/teacher ratio, go ahead and replace the date in the |access-date=
parameter with the current date. if you have any questions, let me know. Thank you, again, for helping to update these articles. Happy editing. —

Hello Keystone18,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Why did you move "PSFS Building" to "Loews Philadelphia Hotel" without any consensus having reached beforehand? For example, the caption "Loews Philadelphia Hotel in 1985" on this building's infobox presents an anachronism because that pic was taken long before the PSFS Building's conversion to the current Loews Philadelphia Hotel was even announced.
I went ahead and changed back to the hotel's historic name because of this. Jim856796 ( talk) 14:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about reverting all of your edits on Mulgrew Miller. I subsequently restored a lot of the changes; as I mentioned in a comment there, the system didn't let me make smaller changes, so I had to revert everything then restore some. It has been stable as a Good Article for a long time, which doesn't mean that it can't be better, but it does mean that major restructuring probably isn't required. I realise that you hadn't finished, but sections such as "Wallace Roney" containing only half a sentence on Roney, with the rest on Miller's other late 1980s work, highlighted that a chronological presentation with matching headings makes more sense for Miller (and for most jazz musicians of the modern era – there simply isn't enough work for all except a few to sustain one activity (big band membership, for example) exclusively and for a long time. I hope that this and the edit summaries make sense, and thank you for the textual improvements. EddieHugh ( talk) 13:10, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

About the Newsletter
Hello Keystone18,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

The following edit https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Psychiatric_hospital&diff=1180670599&oldid=1180276549 seems to introduce an error where a structure from Vienna is written to be from Norway. This seems like an odd change, I can not understand how it came to be? CFCF ( talk) 11:58, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits to Brian Babcock. I noticed upon splitting the article into sections, you included his NCAA gymnastics career within the "Early life and education" section and not the "Career - Gymnast" section. What was the intention there, if any? I've been working on a fair few men's / gymnastics articles recently and want to ensure I'm aligned with consensus. Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

I randomly happened across this article and noticed some errors and garbling in the "Career" section; it looks like you introduced them in the course of your edits. I'm afraid I don't have the concentration to fix things at the moment, perhaps you could go back to it? Cordially, Brianyoumans ( talk) 04:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Keystone18, I am working on updating Amplify (company), a curriculum and assessment company based in New York.

Hello @ Keystone18. I am @ Archer1234. I noticed your recent edits where you have updated the statistics in articles for U.S. high schools using recently updated information from NCES. Thank you for doing that. It is a lot of work to update all of the schools each year, so your efforts are much appreciated.
However, I would like to note one thing that should be done at the same time you update the statistics. Whenever we update articles based on a cited source that has updated their information, then we update the |access-date=
parameter of the reference to show when the reference was last accessed and used to change the data in the article. In this case, when you update the enrollment, teachers, and student/teacher ratio, go ahead and replace the date in the |access-date=
parameter with the current date. if you have any questions, let me know. Thank you, again, for helping to update these articles. Happy editing. —

Hello Keystone18,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

For passing 100 thousand edits. — Panamitsu (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2024 (UTC) |
Why did you move "PSFS Building" to "Loews Philadelphia Hotel" without any consensus having reached beforehand? For example, the caption "Loews Philadelphia Hotel in 1985" on this building's infobox presents an anachronism because that pic was taken long before the PSFS Building's conversion to the current Loews Philadelphia Hotel was even announced.
I went ahead and changed back to the hotel's historic name because of this. Jim856796 ( talk) 14:36, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
