RfA nomination?

edit

Hey there, Significa liberdade! Clovermoss and I have been working together to find users who would make great candidates at RfA and great admins – I was a little surprised to see your name on the list, because I thought you were an admin already! I've seen your name around a bunch, with only positive impressions. You have a great content record, do lots of work in admin-like spaces, and seeing the way you handled this thread on your talk only convinced me more. If you're interested in becoming an admin, let me know! We can talk more here, or you can find me on email or Discord (same username). thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:00, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, @Theleekycauldron (and Clovermoss)! Thank you for the kind words! I mainly haven't considered RfA because I'm not sure how I would use any of the additional privileges given my current strengths, background, interests, etc. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:23, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
You might find my approach to this in my RfA interesting because I also didn't have a strong "need" for the tools. I genuinely believe that a few more people pitching in where they can is good but I also understand completely if the RfA process itself makes you hesitant. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 21:33, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Seconded – we could always use more admins who are willing to help out wherever they can. If you're looking for a place to get comfortable with the tools, I think you could put your experience at CSD and AfD to good use dealing with other people's nominations :) from there, you can branch out! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:56, 30 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

NPOV

edit

I fail to see how an article about the family of three Japanese Prime Ministers is not notable per WP:NPOV. There are articles about notable political families such as the Kennedy family or Udall family. The article does need expansion, not removal. --Plumber (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Plumber! Thanks for reaching out with your concern. The article for the Satō–Kishi–Abe family has not been removed from Wikipedia; rather, it have been moved into the draft space, where you and others can continue working on it. It was moved to the draft space because it only used a single source. If you look at the other articles you mentioned (i.e., about the Kennedys and the Udalls), you'll notice that they have many sources to highlight the families' notability. As an autoconfirmed user, you may move the Satō–Kishi–Abe family article back into the main space if you object to the draftification, though I would suggest adding at least 1-2 more sources before doing so. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:33, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tim Bowden

edit

I see you have "Books: removed primary refs" from the article on Tim Bowden. It would be helpful if you point me to the guideline that specifies this should be the case. Oronsay (talk) 01:52, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Oronsay! Thanks for reaching out with your question. For the Tim Bowden article, I removed the references in the book section and replaced the name of the book with {{citation}}/{{cite book}}. As such, the full reference for each book is there, but it doesn't show up as an in-text citation. I don't know if there is a specific policy about this, but it is common practice for articles relating to authors. Feel free to revert if you find policy or think it's better off the other way. =) Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:10, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your prompt reply. On reflection, it looks better now. Oronsay (talk) 03:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
The ISBN format can be very difficult to access info compared to Trove entries where internally the trove link has much more reader friendly information: an exmaple might be McCrae, Hugh; McCrae, Hugh, 1876-1958. Poems. Selections (1911), Satyrs and sunlight (Second ed.), Thomas C. Lothian, retrieved 8 September 2024{{citation}}: CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) CS1 maint: numeric names: authors list (link) the url to the trove work id is identified - the book is a long time before ISBNs - the Tim items have no url included only ISBN. I am adding this as FYI and have no intention to edit the item further at this stage, I am not 100% sure that Trove entry ISBN is a default option compared to the pre-ISBN items. Apologies to the intrusion on this subject. JarrahTree 12:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your input, JarrahTree! We can certainly add the Trove link to the bibliography reference. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 13:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
very kind of you to respond that way - I thought I was having a true senior moment - maybe my lack of getting a hang of ISBN stuff, then was having trouble of properly identfiying the correct work/xxxx number was causing further stress about the issue... sigh...

Shafeev Award and Fojtik Henglein Award

edit

I saw that you had declined and requested revdel on Draft:Shafeev Award, which was created by the author of Draft:Fojtik Henglein Prize, an article that has most certainly the same issues that I foolishly accepted a day or two again.

Hi, Reconrabbit! I haven't been able to check for similarities through Earwig while it's searching the internet.

I came here to say the same thing. The RFA is still ten points outside of the discretionary zone. I think most people opposing seem to tacitly accept that you are going to pass, and they want to make sure you've heard the concerns that have been expressed, which is fair enough. I got beat up on about the nuances of speeedy deletion as well, I tried to make the point, which I believe you have touched on as well, that there is a world of difference between nominating somethibg for CSD and actually just deleting it yourself. You got this. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 22:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

adele bloch-bauer 1 revertion

edit

hi, i can see why those categories were reverted, but just so you know why i put them there - the painting was featured in the movie 'woman in gold' with helen mirren so i put them there because of the fact the movie centers around that whole story and painting - but perhaps that is stretching it. sometimes i don't know if categories are being stretched unreasonably, i didn't view it that way but i can see why you did. let me know your thoughts so i can learn from it thx Gregorcollins (talk) 17:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Gregorcollins! Thank you for reaching out with your question. Looking at the Adele Bloch-Bauer article, it appears that Cmr08 deleted several categories specifically related to the film. I understand that it can sometimes be confusing to know the boundaries of how to categorize something. Categories are specifically used for people trying to find similar information. For example, if I wanted to learn about American presidents, I could go to the category Presidents of the United States. It would probably be confusing if, in that list, I saw Bill Burr and Dennis Quaid alongside George Washington and Barack Obama, even though Burr and Quaid have played presidents in films. Similarly, if someone is interested in films scored by Hans Zimmer, they would likely be confused if they saw Adele Bloch-Bauer. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have further questions. :) Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 17:35, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I haven't been online since yesterday, so I only got this notice now. I'm sorry if I caused any problems, but as far as I knew those categories were not ones that the article about a person should be in. I should have left more than an edit summary. I was actually just about to remove the categories that didn't belong from Issa Ibrahim that same editor added, but I'll leave a talk page message instead. Cmr08 (talk) 02:51, 22 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations in advance!

Though I am in the opposition, the result of the RfA is clear enough, with but a few hours left (and I strongly doubt I can jinx it), and I extend my congratulations in advance on getting the mop. I'll admit that I'm still uncomfortable with some of your draftifications and AfDs, but I hope you'll take the advice there on board and be a great sysop. And I'm sorry if my opposition caused you discomfort, or came across as too negative or brusque: I know that negative comments at a stressful forum like RfA can go down badly with the candidates. As such, your friendly and respectful demeanor, especially with the opposers, amidst all the stress of the RfA, impressed me greatly. All in all, I wish you the best in your future work as an editor as well as a sysop. I expect you'll do well enough too. JavaHurricane 16:55, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

About your comments on my talk page

edit

What did you mean by “provides evidence to the contrary”, and how could I improve my mentorship responses? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, AirshipJungleman29: Thanks for asking! Based on my reading, some of your responses on your talk page come across passive aggressive, such as your response to an arbitration notification. Although you may have disagreed with this case being brought to arbitration--found it silly even!--you can respond to the situation in a more civil manner.
As for the mentorship responses, I find them to be quite curt, and at times, can read as though you are annoyed. For example, when Luyabd asked about how to create an article, you responded, "The links on your talk page might be helpful." This is true; the links are available on their talk page. However, such a response can come off as rude, especially because tone of voice, gestures, etc. aren't available via text. When working with newbies, it's important to make the Wikipedia environment seem as friendly and inviting as possible. During mentorship, this can mean encouraging them to ask questions. I also find it valuable to have a response answer the question more directly so the user doesn't click around and go somewhere else to find a quick answer to their question.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any follow-up questions, comments, and/or concerns. :) Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 01:48, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hmm. I can see the mentorship thing and will work on that, but I would have thought WP:PACT would apply to an editor using LLMs to deny AI generation. If those are the standards required it's definitely a good thing this is going the way it is. Anyway, thanks very much for your honesty and quick response, and I'll see you around. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:56, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
AirshipJungleman29: To my understanding, PACT indicates that there are times when it's understandable to not AGF. There are many ways to respond to incredulous behaviour from other editors, including not responding. In a situation like the one mentioned, people in arbitration may clearly see the other editor as in the wrong without you ever having to say a word. However, your response to others reflects on you. As an admin, it's expected that people will get upset with you for many reasonable behaviours, such as deleting their copy-paste article. It's also often expected that you will de-escalate the situation (unless a block is required, in which case don't feed the trolls).
