Well done for your expansion of that article, which I've not touched for a while because of certain elements. Could I suggest that you get rid of all inline cites (using external links in the text)? Rather, it might be better to turn them into proper references. Let me know if you need a hand with that. JFW | T@lk 20:10, 18 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello. In an attempt to achieve agreement to remove the Neutrality tag from the Assessments section of this article, I have edited down what some have seen as the undue weight of laudatory comment in this section, and am now requesting feedback at the article's Talk page. I am contacting you in view of your past work on this article. Nandt1 (talk) 09:54, 15 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Since you're a member of the French Cinema task force, I thought you might be interested in joining a discussion about Georges Méliès and how best to cover his pioneering films on Wikipedia. I've started the discussion here: Talk:Georges Méliès filmography#What about the redlinks?

I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts and advice!--Lemuellio (talk) 23:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

I will ask - they have many things. World War One dominates all in terms of centenaries at the moment but we are 100 years away from the establishment of big time Hollywood. "On March 14, 1915, Laemmle opened the world's largest motion picture production facility, Universal City Studios, on a 230-acre (0.9-km²) converted farm just over the Cahuenga Pass from Hollywood.

Hi. Everything you add must be sourced to a WP:BLP article. Please read WP:BLPREMOVE. If you continue to add unsourced info into a BLP article, you risk being blocked. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 10:58, 21 March 2015 (UTC);;I will go on nd add the necessary references. Please show some patience with other users. YellowFratello (talk) 12:18, 21 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

No, you show some patience with long-standing established policy. Quite frankly, what you've written is shit. You should NEVER add anything to a BLP (or anything else for that matter) without sourcing it first. This is your only warning, you'll will face a blocking next time. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:45, 21 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Dear Lugnuts. I have taken a while to consider my reply to this. In the meantime I have added reference etc to this page. I do hope you consider the content of your reply. Had I not been a fairly self-confident person with many years of editing behind me then I might have been really upset. Talking to admin friends they too worry that such emails would put off new or less experienced editors. (Personally I believe the use of words like 'shit' is not really appropriate in dialogue with a stranger on a wiki.) We really need to encourage people who make edits, even if we feel they have made mistakes rather than flying at them. I hope you take this in the reconciliatory way it is meant. Regards and happy editing YellowFratello (talk) 10:55, 30 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:30, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

 

I am just a regular editor and nothing official like an administrator or Wikimedia contractor...I am an editor probably a lot like yourself. One important thing for me is to express thanks to other editors in a personal message to their talk page. This is not a template. I am just leaving this note for you to express my appreciation for your recent participation in voting for Arbatration Committee Members. Your vote is a great thing and with as many people participating as possible there is an excellent chance that we will have good representation on this committee. The Very Best of Regards,

Regarding Celador and cellar door: the reason for not putting the Donnie Darko snippet in the Celador article is that it's no more relevant to Celador than any of the other examples on the cellar door page. The production company existed first, and nobody's ever suggested that it was the inspiration for the phrase appearing in Donnie Darko, they just both happened to refer to the same pre-existing phrase. If you put the Donnie Darko fact in the Celador article, then you may as well put any random fact from the cellar door article on that page. Which you don't do, because the article is about Celador, and the other stuff, including the bit about Donnie Darko, isn't. In a nutshell. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 22:37, 16 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for creating Alice Diop, YellowFratello!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

May I suggest you create a separate 'Awards' section. This helps users assess her WP:NOTABILITY more easily. You need to learn how to create links to foreign wikipedia articles. I've edited one ofthese for you, but you should not use them as references.e.g. Aulnay-sous-Bois should just be a wikilink. (see this help page. Please confirm that biographical statements about her early life are fully supported by reliable sources, removing any that are not. See WP:BLP for help on biographis of living people.

Thanks Nick - really important to get help like this especially when filmmakers like this, though prize winners at festivals and in their own country get too little coverage. Have broken it up as suggested, added some more citations and, yes, the sources check out. YellowFratello (talk) 13:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

I wrote it in a neutral way as I have always done as an experienced editor - I am not a part of the prize and have never applied for it but it is a gateway for a lot of minority authors as can bee seen by the link. They will not be J K Rowling rich or get the publicity of the Booker but it has been a footstep to being published - the prize money is irrelevant it is about access to and has proved itself the quality of the judges is high.

A tag has been placed on Carducci String Quartet requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://carducciquartet.com/about/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Thanks for your contributions to Tomiwa Owolade. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:45, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have added several more sources and really cannot understand why this was moved to draft rather than being given a chance to improve. This author is already a significant voice in British journalism and people need a reliable Wikipedia page to be able to know who he is. Can you p=have a look please. YellowFratello (talk) 07:33, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello Yellow Fratello I fixed some issues with this Owolade piece and submitted it. Then it was turned down again. This bothers me because of the obvious race issues. Wikipedia is not helping itself here. NoorStores (talk) 09:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Do you think we should escalate this? YellowFratello (talk) 16:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

do you know who we can escalate to? There are very many people here with big enormous unconscious bias problems! I cannot see the problem with the article now can you? Inshallah you are not offended by my tidying up!!

I do not wish to be terminated as I have an interview next week. The notice on the Talk page of the person who knocked back the article said he had terminated 3000 users or something like this!! NoorStores (talk) 17:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

The vast majority of these sources are to his own work, we require independent sources with significant coverage about him NOT by him.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Tomiwa Owolade and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

The guy is a prolific writer and journalist published in all the quality UK press plus with a book that has passed muster with critics. The citations are largely of his work but they are published in places of real repute, the places we rely on for citations.. Others like me will want to know more about him and that is why we need a page about him.

I could just remove all the citations that start with his name but that would not help those looking for his work.

I see many other pages about writers that are similar and think this needs to be reconsidered. He has an established position at UCL, a book and is constantly published in the UK quality press. YellowFratello (talk) 09:05, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
