Peer review/List of awards and nominations received by Fifth Harmony

I have edited, added and removed tons of material and feel that this article could very well quality for a Featured List Candidate. As I was looking through the Peer Review option, I was left confused by how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. De88 (talk) 22:00, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

• @De88: I am confused by your comment Peer review and Featured List Candidates are two separate processes. Peer review is about getting feedback from the Wikipedia community while putting a list up for Featured List Candidates focuses on getting it promoted to the status of a featured list. Information about nominating an article for FLC can be found here, and information on starting a Peer review can be found here. It is entirely up to you on which way you want to go. Good luck with working further on the list. Aoba47 (talk) 00:39, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
  • @Aoba47: I know they are two separate processes but isn't a Peer review helpful before having it nominated for a Feature List Candidate? What I mean to say is that I want an admin (or someone of eligible status within Wikipedia standards) to Peer review the article to see what needs to be changed, added or deleted. Hope that made sense. By the way, there is one award that the group won several days ago. One of the group members posted on their social media accounts the award itself, with the specific category but there are no sources to cite this. What can I do? De88 (talk) 05:05, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
    • @De88: Thank you for your response. Just wanted to make sure that you understood that they were two separate processes. You can definitely put it up for peer review to get more feedback from the community on how to improve it prior to putting it up for FAC. I have included the instructions for the peer review process above, but feel free to let me know if you have any questions. Just to clarify two things: 1) the peer review is not exclusively for admins, so you may or may not get a response from an admin, and 2) the peer review process takes time, especially since there was a backlog last time that I checked so you may have to keep it up there for a while before receiving a response. I have personally had mixed experiences with the peer review process (sometimes I received a lot of feedback while other times, I did not receive any), but I would suggest doing that if you would like to receive more commentary or are uncertain about anything on the list. Anyway, I hope that I could help in some way at least. (Also, just a note to you, you don't have to ping me on my talk page as I get a notification about it instantly). Aoba47 (talk) 14:39, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
    • As for the information on the award, I would wait a little longer for a news outlet to pic it up as it is still really recent. Aoba47 (talk) 14:48, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
      • Thanks for the help. I'll look into it. Not very familiar with how most of Wikipedia works with the only exception being editing an article itself. From a simple skim-through, does this article seem decent enough to pass the nomination? De88 (talk) 00:26, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
        • @De88: Everything looks good from a simple skim-through. I would make sure everything with the references is correctly formatted, but I would think that the peer review process should help with this and any other aspect of the list more than I could.

Rugrats FAC

At the point the nomination is at, I have little to nothing to say of value. The prose has no readability issues. There were no other issues I could see. I feel uncomfortable giving immediate supports unless my previous support was of no help due to a stalled nomination. Best of luck with it. dannymusiceditor ^{Speak up!} 18:01, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hey Aoba47; hope all is well. I just had a question for you – I wanted your opinion on whether or not I should nominated Speed Buggy to undergo FAC. You've had quite a few television articles pass and I wanted some advice. Thanks, Carbrera (talk) 05:08, 21 June 2017 (UTC).

• I will take a look at it later tonight and provide my comments about it here if that is okay with you. Aoba47 (talk) 14:42, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

• @Carbrera: I do not see any major issues with the article, and it appears to be ready for the FAC process. I would just make that you have mined all of the possible sources for information on the series, specifically for its production/development. In the second paragraph of the "Legacy" subsection, I would add a topic sentence that made the point of it clear (the cameo appearances in cartoons and other mediums). Good luck with it. I would also recommend contacting other users to get their feedback on this. Aoba47 (talk) 16:37, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Russell family of Passions infobox

I think the Russell family page needs an infobox to show how long they were on the soap Passions as well as who created and introduced the family. All of the other soap opera families have infoboxes on their pages. Jester66 (talk) 20:45, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

• @Jester66: I do not believe that infobox adds much to the article. All of the information that you mentioned above (i.e. information on who introduced and created the family) can already be located in the second sentence of the lead's first paragraph. Also, the amount of time that each character spent on the show varies so it would be better to leave that information for each of relevant character subsections. With all due respect, the infobox appears more like a cosmetic change to the article and I do not necessarily find much value in it. The use of an infobox in a particular article should be examined on an individual basis so whether or not other articles/lists on soap opera families has one or not is not directly relevant to this conversation. It does not seem, to me at least, to be necessary in this context. Aoba47 (talk) 20:49, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

• @Aoba47: The thing is on Wikipedia, it is standard that soap opera and other television families receive an infobox for overview. Jester66 (talk) 22:47, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

• @Jester66: @Livelikemusic: Where does it say that exactly? There is nothing about this in the WikiProject for Soap Operas (with the only mention of infoboxes being reserved for those for individual characters). Can you point out exactly where it says this? I honestly do not believe that is the case. I know the topic of an infobox can be quite contentious, as I have seen similar debates run on articles dealing with living people/biographies (and there are several cases in which articles on biographies do not contain infoboxes for the reasons that I have already mentioned above). I still do not see the need for an infobox; I do not necessarily agree with the rationale that it "is included to provide an overview for the reader" as all of the pertinent information is located directly in the lead. I am going to ping @Mike Christie: as he provided extensive copy-editing and feedback on this during the FAC process and @Ian Rose: who was the FAC coordinator that promoted this to get their feedback on this as I do not agree with your statement as I have never seen such a "standard" like the one that you mention above. In the future, it would be more ideal if you would either message me directly or post this on the article's talk page to prompt a discussion rather than making direct changes on the article itself. Also, the bit about Lisa de Cazotte being the one to introduce the family is not cited, and I am not sure if that is entirely correct as I have not ran across any sources supporting this during my work on this article; it would be incorrect to just assume this given her role as the show's executive producer. Aoba47 (talk) 22:59, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

  I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to an infobox, but I don't think they should be added just because they're frequently used for a certain class of articles, which is what I take it is meant by "standard". I think an infobox is worthwhile if it contains useful information that is not immediately obvious from a glance at the first sentence. In borderline cases I tend to leave an infobox out as they have a tendency to grow, as editors will fill out more and more of the parameters; often this makes them too long to serve their real purpose, which is a quick index to key information. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:02, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

• @Mike Christie:Given Passions has been off the air in nine years, it is safe to say that the infobox won't expand. I put the simple parts of this particular infobox in order to avoid more clutter, however if you include more of the infobox then it would include members and would have them put on the infobox separately. Jester66 (talk) 02:02, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

• All of the information from the infobox can be located in the lead so the infobox is unnecessary. I agree that this topic will not expand in the future, but I still do not understand the point to the addition of the infobox. There is already a box with the characters and actors in the "Creation and development" section. Aoba47 (talk) 02:19, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

• I use infoboxes in 99% of the articles I edit but those are generally biographies of military personnel or unit histories where a good deal of statistical info is best rendered in such a manner. I don't think they serve a special purpose in articles on media/arts and will tend to defer to the preference of the main editor(s) of those articles. The bottom line is that infoboxes are neither mandated nor prohibited in any article and so generally require consensus to add or remove. It seems to me that this article currently has consensus not to employ one, having passed a FAC whose participants evidently saw no reason to use it. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 02:29, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you for your input. I greatly appreciate that you took the time to comment on this. I hope you had a wonderful day. Aoba47 (talk) 02:37, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

The Disneyland Railroad article is currently being nominated to become a featured article here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Disneyland Railroad/archive1. I see that you are one of the more active reviewers for featured article candidates, so I eagerly invite you to weigh in on this one. It has passed specialized reviews for its images and sources, and one review for its prose, but it still needs a few people to chime and say they support the nomination on the review page to wrap things up. Your input on that page will be very helpful. Jackdude101 (Talk) 18:39, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

• @Surtsicna: I think that if we asked them nicely about using one of their images on here for her article, that at least one of them would be willing to share their work. It would greatly improve the article to have an image. I will definitely do some research on this later today. Feel free to contact people as well and add an image if you get permission.

Hi, Aoba. I have nominated the article for FA; honestly it seems to have stalled at FAC with limited commentary. Should you have time and inclination, I would be delighted to hear any comments you might have. Cheers – FrB.TG (talk) 10:04, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Our colleague needs help with his FAC as it's on the verge of getting failed due to lack of responses from other editors; it's second to the last of the "older noms" queue. You are a regular commentator at FAC and I'm sure you can approach this article better since it's about a studio album. I already gave my thoughts on it and based on my thorough observation, it definitely surpasses the criteria and deserves the much-coveted "shiny bronze star". But don't take my word for it, have a look yourself and toss him your comments in the nom page. Best, Slightlymad (talk) 10:20, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

• I can definitely take a look at it. I will try to have my comments up by the end of today. If that does not happen, then I will definitely get to it by the end of the week. Aoba47 (talk) 14:45, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Alice Tangerini

On 24 July 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alice Tangerini, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Alice Tangerini is the only botanical illustrator ever hired by the Smithsonian Institution? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alice Tangerini. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Alice Tangerini), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

When I Met You (Fantasia song)

Hello:

The copy edit that you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article "When I Met You" has been completed.

This second half of this sentence in the Synopsis and reception second stumped me. "She develops a crush on a classmate, while her male friend overs her." You'll need to clarify this.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2017 (UTC)

Cliff and Jake

Thank you for adding this episode as "Denise Huxtable"'s last appearance; I knew she was written out in season seven, but I had the hardest time determining the specific episode. If you don't mind, can you just leave the episode's production information (season and episode number) in a message on my talk page so that I can cite it within the body of the article itself? Thanks!--Changedforbetter (talk) 17:01, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

• @Changedforbetter: Anytime; I used the List of The Cosby Show episodes so I would encourage you to double-check the information. I think that it is correct, but my memory of the show, particularly the later seasons, is not that great, but you can double-check the information with other sites to confirm this. It is a shame that Bonet's pregnancy was not incorporated into A Different World as that would have been interesting, and I think Debbie Allen would have done a lot of cool things with the character development side of things. I will leave the information of the season and episode number on your talk page. Wonderful work with this article; you are definitely one of the users on here that I look to for inspiration. Aoba47 (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

I was wondering if you could offer me some insight. I'm pretty much putting the finishing touches on the Denise article; in the past I've used the tool http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webchecklinks.py?page=Denise_Huxtable to determine which links and resources cited were "unstable" and needed to be archived, but the link seems to have been...discontinued or is unavailable now? I was wondering if you're aware of an alternative tool on Wikipedia that does something similar?--Changedforbetter (talk) 22:26, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Changedforbetter: I apologize for the super late response, but I am not aware of an alternative tool unfortunately. Aoba47 (talk) 04:13, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Aoba. How are you? I've made it through Mercy Point once and it looks pretty good so far. I noticed a few little things and will mention them (and maybe I'll notice other stuff) on my second read-through.

Melanie Barnett copyedit

Can I just say, holy shit! The article looks great. It actually rekindled my interest in both The Game and Girlfriends. I just wanted to tell you two things I noticed. Firstly, when talking about real-life people you refers to them using their given names rather than their family names. I'm not sure if that's a huge problem but from most articles I've seen it's the other way around. Which goes into my second point. Would you mind if I copyedited the article and changes the names (among other things) myself? That way, you could also focus on other projects. PanagiotisZois (talk) 13:04, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

I later realized that you had already submitted the article for copyediting. Well, it's done. Overall great article, with only a few nit-picks here and there. PanagiotisZois (talk) 14:00, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you for the copy-edit and for your kind words! I am glad that the article had restarted your interest in both series. I agree with your point about using the family names rather than the given names; the only reason why I did the other way was to avoid confusion between Tia and Tamera, but since Tamera is only mentioned in one section, I agree that it should be done in the family name way. Your copy-edits have helped to improve the article a great deal, and I greatly appreciate your help. Let me know if you need any help with any of your current projects, and I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 15:15, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Help with FD3

Hello Aoba, I was wondering if you could help me with my Final Destination 3 FAN. The nomination has already received an image review but still not a source review. If possible, could you do it? Considering the numerous sources cited in the article I understand if it's too much and you don't have time for it. Irregardless, I hope things are going well and wish you good luck with your future projects; especially Melanie. :) --PanagiotisZois (talk) 11:51, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• I would be more than happy to help out with a source review. I will try to have it completed by the end of the today. Congrats on all of the attention and commentary given to your FAC. Aoba47 (talk) 14:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• Once again, thank you so much Aoba for all your help. You reviewed and passed the film's GAN, you supported its FAN, provided a source review immediately when I asked for one. Thank you so much. I'm sorry for not having commented on your FAN of Mercy Point. You didn't need to remove your ask from my talk page. I don't consider your messages clutter. I'll try to help you more with your future projects. PanagiotisZois (talk) 17:06, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• Anytime, and I am glad that I could help. You do a lot of great work on here so I am just glad to somewhat be a part of it. And thank you for your message; I apologize for modifying your talk page as I was just trying to help out. There's no need for you to apologize. It was an exceptionally quick FAN so it is very understandable. I look forward to helping you with future project as well. I just don't want you to feel pressured as I know that we are both probably busy with projects both on Wikipedia and in real life. Aoba47 (talk) 17:10, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

• @PanagiotisZois: If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could review my current FAC. Aoba47 (talk) 21:57, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Aoba47: I'll look into it. PanagiotisZois (talk) 22:20, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you! And I apologize for the trouble with the source review; I feel really bad about it. I hope your week is going well so far. Aoba47 (talk) 22:21, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Really?

Oh my god! Are you really going to retire (please don't say yes)? Would be so unfortunate to lose an editor like you. It is my habit in general to say, I hope you have a great day, and all, and then once I saw your comment, and noticed you did the same too! In fact, the time I was saying, I hope you have a great rest of the day, to somebody, I noticed the exact same comment that you had given to somebody else (that was in fact the first time I noticed you), so I changed my comment a bit. You are so polite and such a great great contributor. I could go on listing great things about you, but the talk page might be flooded. You could, however, come in once in a while to edit or just simply. I am sure a lot of people (almost everybody who knows you, in fact) would feel bad just like I am, on losing you. Adityavagarwal (talk) 16:44, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Adityavagarwal: Thank you for your message! I greatly appreciate your kind words and support. It means a lot to me, and I am very fortunate and happy to have worked with people like you during my own projects and have helped with others' projects. I think that I will either "retire" or "semi-retire" for the immediate future as I am just feeling a little bit of burnout from focusing so much on getting articles through the FAC process. I am also turning my attention primarily to my future and my potential career path; I always wanted to be a writer and publish novels and short stories so I want to devote all of my energy to building my writing and art portfolio. I can easily become very caught with my work on here to the detriment of my real life work/responsibilities, so I think I could really use a break. In the future, I may return every once in a while to check the articles that I have worked on and to do some smaller, GAN projects. I just need to take a step away from Wikipedia for some time to focus on myself. I hope this message makes sense as I have the tendency to ramble lol. I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and thank you for everything! Aoba47 (talk) 18:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) So sad to see you leave too, Aoba. I stopped by to say thank you for providing comments on my latest FAC few days ago before your sudden retirement to pursue real-life obligations; I hope it gets promoted with your help. We actually share the same job prospects, except mine is more on screenwriting. But alas, I ended up editing an encyclopedia. lol. In any case, be seeing you. Slightlymad (talk) 11:02, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Slightlymad: Thank you for your message, and I am glad that I could help with your FAC. Good luck with your screenwriting dreams, as I have a lot of respect for that type of writing. Good luck with your current and future projects. Aoba47 (talk) 13:36, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Lol, so I see the "Can't retire" thing. . I think the "Retired" tag should now be closed in a box, and welcome back. It is so awesome that you decided to stay after all, so please let me know if I could review (image, source, or anything) any of your articles (I would be much honored). I think we would soon be seeing more awesome FAs from your side. Have a wonderful rest of the day! Adityavagarwal (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you! I still found myself gravitating back here, and doing work on here so I thought I might as well make it official. I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day too! Aoba47 (talk) 17:25, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Breaking News

Firstly, I came here to say I was leaving some comments for your now-archived FAC on Pru. I'll leave them below just in case you're curious. Then I noticed your retirement banner on your talk page and had to bend down to pick my jaw up. I hope it's not true but I'm assuming it is. Nonetheless, I wish you the best in the future with your career. Hopefully it will be as successful as your run here on Wikipedia. You were and still are a very resourceful and enterprising editor. Keep in touch, Carbrera (talk) 00:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC).

Suggested comments from Carbrera (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Comments I would reword "Credits adapted from the liner notes of Pru and AllMusic." to "Credits adapted from AllMusic and the liner notes of Pru." to clarify that there are not any liner notes for AllMusic – do you know what I mean? I would add that Billboard is the publication in the "Charts" section for the R&B Albums For "Release history", you should alphabetize so that CD appears after Cassette instead of vice versa I see that the Billboard source describes "Aaroma" with the additional text in the title, but on the vinyl/CD releases it omits that. Perhaps you could point that out? I might add a few more comments later when I glance at the article again. Carbrera (talk) 00:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC).

• @Carbrera: Thank you for your comment and your suggestions for the Pru article. I greatly enjoyed working with you, and I know that you will do well with all of your current and future projects on here and in real life. I will actually miss working with you a lot, and I will definitely still check in every now and then to see how your work is going. I will let you know if I ever come back to seriously editing on here once my work/life is figured out lol. Aoba47 (talk) 02:36, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Let me know too, when you come back to editing... After all, I might not forget my Image review on the article go waste. I hope that you semi-retire instead. As always, I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day writing days! Adityavagarwal (talk) 10:46, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Aoba47: Zobbel.de has said that "All UK charts in full can be found in ChartsPlus: www.ukchartsplus.co.uk" on their website. However, UKChartsPlus has been listed in Websites to avoid per WP:BAD CHARTS. I'm wondering whether I should keep these source or just remove them. --U990467 (talk) 05:08, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Mary Alice Young

Just in response to you saying Marc Cherry needs to be linked in both the lead and the first section, I've worked on several fictional character articles that have been promoted to GA and been told by reviewers several times that there's no need to link actors and producers multiple times throughout the article. Do you have anything to back up your claim that he NEEDS to be linked in the first section as well, or is that just your personal belief/opinion/preference? Creativity97 20:15, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Creativity97: I have actually received the opposite comments about this from reviewers, and I honestly do not read the Wikipedia policy/essays so just do whatever you feel is right. I was only trying to help as I have passed several articles on fictional characters from both the GAN process and the FAC process so I thought that I had a pretty good grasp on this type of thing, but like I said in the article's talk page, I am just going to avoid the article completely and leave it up to your personal preference. Some things that I changed however should be kept, such as moving the link for Deirdre Taylor to its first mention in the article and not linking multiple items. Also, even if you decide to unlink Marc Cherry, I would encourage you to use his full name in the article, as I was a little confused when I first read it as I did not immediately know who "Cherry" was referring to. Good luck with the GA review, and great work with the article overall. I apologize if I came across as rude in my edits or comments. The article is an interesting read, as I do enjoy the character and the show's first season (I honestly think it kind of fell off after the first season for me unfortunately). Aoba47 (talk) 20:36, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Alright, no worries. If you think that having simply "Cherry" was confusing to you as a reader, I will leave it as you have it to avoid confusion for other readers. I do value your feedback on that, thank you. I don't have any issues with anything else you changed and I want to also to thank you for putting Spoon Rivers Anthology in italics and putting the year of its release next to it, that was very helpful. The fictional character articles I've worked on thoroughly and have been promoted to GA have largely been soap opera character articles and there's also a bit of a different set of agreed upon rules to those articles, so I might've also been bringing a bit of my knowledge from that into this article. You were not rude at all, if anything I was the one being rude and defensive about the article, so I apologize for that. Thank you for all your help, I do appreciate it! Creativity97 21:00, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Creativity97: Thank you for your response, and good luck with your current and future projects. I completely understand your response, as I would have most likely had the same or a similar response. Hopefully, one day, we can work together on something as you have done a lot of great work with the Mary Alice Young article. Have a great day! Aoba47 (talk) 23:35, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

Homophobia article

Hi there! I am finished working on an article for a short film called Homophobia in my sandbox, but I have never written an article about a film, so I'm not that good with the style of writing it. I have seen that you have promoted several film articles to GA or even FA status, so could you take a look at my work? It would be also helpful if you could watch the 23-min film on YouTube to slightly check the plot section, as there were many terms that I did not know in English and I had to translate them with Google Translate. Am I demanding too much from you? I just feel the article has a lot of errors and it can't be put on Wikipedia as it stands now. Best regards and I would be glad to hear your response to the short film, Cartoon network freak (talk) 08:12, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

• @Cartoon network freak: Thank you for your message; unfortunately, I do not have the time to watch the film and compare it to the "Plot" section that you have already created. If you are concerned about the prose, then I would highly encourage you to submit a request through WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. The first thing that pops out to me when looking at your draft is your use of imdb as a source; imdb is not a reliable/credible source and should be replaced by either citing something else or just citing the film itself. I apologize for not having the time to fully commit to this, but good luck with this project! Aoba47 (talk) 15:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
