Hi! I noticed
this edit. That happens to me too: whenever I manually do a CSD, prod, RM, or one of the various XfDs, I never seem to know whether the particular template uses |reason=
, or |rationale=
, or |text=
, or something else entirely. It's annoying to go by trial and error or to have to look up the template's documentation each time. I really wish these templates were consistent, so that the same set of parameter aliases could work across all of them. –

|reason=
, and I figured it was easier to fix the template than fix all of them. So I did so.

17:43, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Related to the Chemical Abstracts Service page that you just moved, I moved to CAS (formerly Chemical Abstracts Service). The issue here is that CAS is not a mere acronym for the company. The company has rebranded to simply "CAS". Since however there is already a CAS disambiguation article page, I moved to this new page CAS (formerly Chemical Abstracts Service). If you have an alternate suggestion on how to proceed please let me know. However, keeping the article as Chemical Abstracts Service is no longer correct since the company has rebranded and only goes by CAS. Brandopedia ( talk) 19:14, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
the abbreviation is just branding(see also WP:NAMECHANGES). I didn't see a meaningful distinction between that case and yours, so reverted the move. At the very least, "CAS (formerly Chemical Abstracts Service)" is contrary to Wikipedia's title disambiguation format, but I'm unfortunately not coming up with any better ideas for names given the wide variety of companies called "CAS". * Pppery * it has begun... 23:04, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Pppery,
I'd like to ask you to consider using Twinkle when you tag pages for deletion. Looking over your recent PRODs, not all article creators were given deletion notifications (none for The Coordinating Secretariat for Science, Technology and Innovation (COSTI) for example). FastilyBot sometimes posts notices when editors forget to notify article creators but I've noticed that it doesn't do this 100% of the time. I'm not sure why it posts talk page notices for some PRODs but not all, but it just doesn't.
However, if you set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", then whenever you use Twinkle to tag a page for a CSD, PROD, or XfD, then Twinkle will post these notices on your behalf so you don't have to remember to. Notification isn't mandatory but it is best practices and a common courtesy to your fellow editors. I'm sure if a page you created was going to be deleted, you'd want to know about it in case it was a mistaken tagging. Thank you for considering this request and for all you do on the project (which is a lot!). Liz Read! Talk! 03:48, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I hope this is a good place to share this. I posted a proposal for a new parameter that will be beneficial for Wikipedia readers on the talk page for Template:Infobox musical artist, however that page seems to be somewhat inactive with only the same 2-3 editors commenting, and implementation of this into Wikipedia code requires consent from an administrator. Here is my proposal, and I hope you agree:
I am advocating a new parameter to reasonably replace "Associated acts". This parameter, "Protégé of" will be specifically reserved for Musical Acts billed as Individuals. Theoretically, this parameter will serve the same function as "Spinoff of" with musical groups, giving readers the ability to see which artist, producer, or talent manager discovered the subject of the article.
The inclusion of this parameter comes adds encyclopedic value as the figure who discovered an artist is a key characteristic of how the artists' career plays out event-wise, what makes them distinctive, and will be information that is found in the article. In the modern day music industry and the future, an artists success is nearly based entirely on connections and collaboration. [1] Readers need the ability to briefly skim at the infobox and see which individual is best associated with the success of the article subject – adding to the encyclopedic value of why that artist is worthy of a Wikipedia article. In many cases, an artist is most known for being under the wing of another artist or producer, or in other cases, a reader may not know who was the individual to sign (to their label), mentor, or executive produce the career/discography of an artist. If this is new information to the reader, it may serve as incentive to read the entire article and give context behind their discovery.
This parameter will tie-in seamlessly with all other information on the Musical artist Infobox as well as the article. A rule for this parameter is that the individual must already be mentioned in the article and cited, must executive produce their breakout project (album or EP that launched their career into mainstream notability), and must have a proof of signing to that individuals record label or company. "Protégé of" will consist of typically no more that 1 name mentioned – however in some cases of a joint-venture signing, there may be 2 or 3 names mentioned.
In conclusion, this parameter will simply be a version of "Spinoff_of" except for individual artists. Associated acts, over a period of time got too cluttered and spammy; this resolves that issue and provides readers a meaningful replacement that incentivizes further research, extracts important information, justifies the subjects encyclopedic notability, and gives otherwise unknown information to readers of Wikipedia. A makeshift version has been implemented by myself and other Wikipedia members, however they were reversed due to lack of consensus on the talk page. When I added with this edit, it has been met with acceptance and non-revertion among highly prolific, long-time Wiki editors. With that being said, here are examples of how this parameter will be used:

I've posted a canvassing warning at /info/en/?search=User_talk:Tomastvivlaren#Canvassing?. I'm interested in an explanation from the editor, and thought that you might be as well. I don't recall having ever met them. I'm highly experienced in list development and policy, so perhaps that had something to do with my being pinged.

Hi there Pppery,
I noticed that you turned the Ricky Velez article back into a redirect to The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. I found that when the article was being created, there wasn't sufficient evidence to mark it for deletion, given that Ricky Velez satisfied WP:GNG in my eyes. He seems to be an up and coming comedian who has received notable recognition. The page was only reviewed after it became a redirect to the show and wasn't given a chance for review beforehand.
Would you be okay with reinstating Ricky Velez again? Let me know if you intended to delete it and why you did so; editors who likewise did or did not contribute to the article could have offered insight in a WP:PROD or a broader WP:AfD discussion. Would be happy to hear from you.

Hi there, I see you removed the WD links and this has been restricted for such articles. I've no strong opinion on that but it's quite inconvenient in this case, as I'm trying to validate the identities of the people in the list and track down articles in multiple languages as they are often missing in English.
I note that the RFC mentions using this template: {{ill|Jokery|WD=Q131138}}
Before I start work on adding or using that, can you confirm if this is acceptable or not? Jim Killock (talk) 19:10, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

Associated acts, over a period of time got too cluttered and spammy; this resolves that issue and provides readers a meaningful replacement that incentivizes further research, extracts important information, justifies the subjects encyclopedic notability, and gives otherwise unknown information to readers of Wikipedia. A makeshift version has been implemented by myself and other Wikipedia members, however they were reversed due to lack of consensus on the talk page. When I added with this edit, it has been met with acceptance and non-revertion among highly prolific, long-time Wiki editors. With that being said, here are examples of how this parameter will be used:

What is the error you are referring to on Alamein railway line? -- ThylacineHunter ( talk) 03:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your edits to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion no drafts.
The page appears broken. Are you able to fix it? Aasim - Herrscher of Wikis ❄️ 18:12, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
I've posted a canvassing warning at /info/en/?search=User_talk:Tomastvivlaren#Canvassing?. I'm interested in an explanation from the editor, and thought that you might be as well. I don't recall having ever met them. I'm highly experienced in list development and policy, so perhaps that had something to do with my being pinged. I also wonder how the list of editors who were pinged were selected. Thank you for the link to the canvassing policy. I hadn't read that in a very long time. — The Transhumanist 09:06, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I normally go to BrownHairedGirl when I have questions about categories, but I noticed that she hasn't been on-wiki in almost two weeks. Would you be a good person to ask? Someone else? Please let me know either way; I don't want to go into detail unless you're willing. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 13:00, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
deliberate act of a parent killing their own child) took place, and even if there is one it may not be defining, but I see how one could rationally disagree with that.
Hi there Pppery,
I noticed that you turned the Ricky Velez article back into a redirect to The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore. I found that when the article was being created, there wasn't sufficient evidence to mark it for deletion, given that Ricky Velez satisfied WP:GNG in my eyes. He seems to be an up and coming comedian who has received notable recognition. The page was only reviewed after it became a redirect to the show and wasn't given a chance for review beforehand.
Would you be okay with reinstating Ricky Velez again? Let me know if you intended to delete it and why you did so; editors who likewise did or did not contribute to the article could have offered insight in a WP:PROD or a broader WP:AfD discussion. Would be happy to hear from you.

You said totally unsourced, I ask you. What exactly? As soon as you native English speakers read the word gypsy, rewrites as Romani? isnt it the case? Cental Asian Gyps = changend to Romani even though they aren't. Middle eastern gypsy = changend to Romani even though they are Domari. Caucasian mountain gypsy = changend to Romani although they are Lomari, etc. Vlax Romani ( talk) 15:47, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
those are factsdoes not satisfy it. And the point is that Wikipedia has standards, which your article did not meet, and it is my responsibility at a new page reviewer to enforce those standards. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:55, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi Pppery. I decided to create Wikipedia:What G6 is not in the hopes that having an essay to direct people to makes it easier to fight the liberal use of G6. Is there anything missing from the page? In particular, are there any common reasons that I missed which should be included in § Things that do not qualify for G6 (or ones I did include but almost never happen)?

Hi there, I see you removed the WD links and this has been restricted for such articles. I've no strong opinion on that but it's quite inconvenient in this case, as I'm trying to validate the identities of the people in the list and track down articles in multiple languages as they are often missing in English.
I note that the RFC mentions using this template: {{ill|Jokery|WD=Q131138}}
Before I start work on adding or using that, can you confirm if this is acceptable or not? Jim Killock (talk) 19:10, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
I do not see any consensus as to the proposed exception of linking to WD, by something similar to inline inter-language link(s)which may be executed using the same template. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:24, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
