Gratz on the new Featured Article. October 1, 2024 (as a WP:TFA date) is already taken ... would a January date work for you? - Dank ( push to talk) 15:35, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Dank. It's already set for December 28. Best, voorts ( talk/ contributions) 16:41, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

My mistake. How about Shostakovich v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. for January 9? - Dank ( push to talk) 16:46, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

That would be great. I've already got it listed for a non-specified January date at TFA/R. Best, voorts ( talk/ contributions) 17:38, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Voorts, thank you for reviewing the page I tried to create. Based on your feedback it seems that I was able to address the previous two comments were given to me, the lack of reliable sources and the notability of the person. I solved them by adding reference from the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. You rejected the resubmission because the text is not formal tone and does not use the neutral point of view. I tried to refine the article and provide a neutral point of view. I looked at the peacock terms and tried to remove it. Could you let me know where you think it needs improvements? Do you think is it too positive or too negative, I tried to be neutral. Thank you, @ IDruben77 IDruben77 ( talk) 17:58, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi @ Voorts, I improved the article based on feedbacks I received from the WikiProject Article for creation/Help desk, please let me know if you think that additional changes are needed. I resubmit it. IDruben77 ( talk) 04:10, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I think sentences like this – "In August 2023, Price arranged for a plea deal which would let the murderer of Lamar Converse out after four years." – are non-neutral because (1) citing one case out of the many that her office handles provides undue weight to that case and (2) the sentence is slanted towards implying that what she did in that case was incorrect; anything not attributed to an outside source must be neutrally stated in a Wikipedia article. voorts ( talk/ contributions) 03:19, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello. You closed the RFC I created on this page. I just wanted to say a couple of things:

1. I DID try alternative means of dispute resolution. I tried to contact the editors involved and was completely ignored.

2. Your arbitrary closure seems a bit unwelcoming, I am relatively inexperienced here and I am asking for assistance from those who are more experienced to settle a content dispute. To chastise me for doing this in a slightly incorrect way simply because I don’t have as much experience of the myriad rules of Wikipedia seems somewhat harsh. I am obviously doing my very best in good faith to try to get a neutral opinion on the dispute to which I have essentially been a party as I fundamentally disagree with the other editor. You have closed the only avenue I was aware of to achieve this and I now feel much less confident in editing a Wikipedia as a result.

Hi @ LittleEye90. My intent was not to chastise you and I can fully see that you were acting in good faith. However, I closed the RfC because RfCs are a huge use of community time and should not be opened unless absolutely necessary. Mere disruptive editing does not rise to the level of requiring an RfC, which is why RFCBEFORE requires you to try multiple different types of dispute resolution before opening an RfC (starting a thread on the article talk page without pinging the other editors involved is not sufficient). I also closed your RfC because an RfC statement must be short and neutral on the issue presented, which yours was not.

Finally, as I noted in my close, if the editors that you disagree with are not responding, and you believe that they are engaging in edit warring, vandalism, or disruptive editing, you should report them for administrator attention at AIV or AN3. You can also go to the Help Desk in the future if you are facing a situation and unsure what the most appropriate way to handle it is. I hope you stay on Wikipedia and continue improving the encyclopedia. Best, voorts ( talk/ contributions) 17:06, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
