I have noticed this GA candidate you have nominated. Have you considered completing your user page? That would be helpful to the GA nom. Hoppyh (talk) 23:50, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I stand corrected—after reviewing the GA guidelines, I see that full WP registration is not a prerequisite for making the GA nom. Hoppyh (talk) 15:21, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Hoppyh: Started a user page today. If you might be eventually interested in taking up the Melville article nomination then let me know if I could add more to it. CodexJustin (talk) 18:42, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Passion According to Andrei until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Britishfinance (talk) 17:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think that this is the best way to resolve the issues we have discussed-debated on this article; AfD is a fair process in my view (I spend plenty of time on it), and it is a good way to get other editors (and admins) engaged and feeding back on the situation regarding the article. We will see what views the produce. Kind regards. Britishfinance (talk) 18:32, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Herman Melville you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Hello: You deleted my entry of "postscript" with the explanation that a postscript should not be under "production"in the above mentioned film. Are you opposed to postscript information in film articles or just the placement? It seems to me that editors are told to be bold but anything different is edited out. Please give me your views. Eschoryii (talk) 21:41, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your note. It would help if you could find a reliable source which discusses these postscripts with some purpose in mind. That way you could add a link to the reliable source to indicate the importance of the material you are choosing to include in the article. Normally, credits, graphics and postscripts are not discussed in the section where you placed them. If can find a reliable source to link then it might help.

May 2019
Hello, I'm SNUGGUMS. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 00:45, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SNUGGUMS: The character of Ally played by Gaga starts the movie as portraying the daughter of Andrew Dice Clay as Lorenzo Campana, Ally's father. Her name changes midway through the film after the marriage. Since she appears as both the pre-marriage character and the after marriage character in the film, with the name change, both names should appear in the character descriptions. CodexJustin (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can't just presume one automatically shares their father's last name. Children can sometimes have their mother's last names instead even outside of cases where a father and/or child changes a last name for non-marriage purposes. Also, Ally is never at any point referred to with that last name, not even in the credits. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:09, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't seen those pieces before, though they seem to be pulling that name out of nowhere when the film doesn't use it for her at all. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:20, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SNUGGUMS: Now I am finding the NY Times here [3] also taking a position that it is Ally Campana. When I asked someone about your name change comment above, their position was that changing back to the maiden name of a mother is rare and usually only happens when after a divorce the child is in the custody of the mother and the mother changes her name back after the divorce is granted. In this case, the plot of the film goes in the other direction with Gaga growing up with her father as the single parent and not her mother. With reliable cites going with Ally Campana as the maiden name, then it might be worth a mention with a cite added in the Casting section. Maybe you can make an edit with improved wording. CodexJustin (talk) 14:54, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Again, the film doesn't at any point call her by that last name, not even during the credits where she's just listed as "Ally". That was the bigger point I'm trying to make and you seem to be missing. I also have no recollection of anybody in the movie calling Ally's father "Campana" either nor any cast members using it when discussing A Star Is Born. Comments from the actors/writers would be better things to go by in this case (if I've missed something and someone involved in the movie has mentioned it). While I do know that The New York Times is overall a trustworthy source, they also don't have any discernible basis for "Campana". As for mothers' maiden names, it is true that doesn't happen much outside of cases where the mother has full custody or the child has a poor/strained relationship with the father, but you still shouldn't be so quick to just assume a child will automatically have their father's last name when he has any custody. Parents and children can theoretically have their last names legally changed to something completely unconnected to their families so I wouldn't rule that out.

Thank you for expessing your positive thoughts about my suggestions to the Peter Navarro article. I have decided to take a break from editing Wikipedia. Feel free to implement my suggestions to the article when the article is unlocked. Knox490 (talk) 22:16, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Corrections to comments that have replies
FYI, the two corrections in this edit should have been done as: MadrussMandruss. That way, editors subsequently reading my comment "And it's Mandruss, not Madruss" are not left wondering what the hell I'm talking about. This loss-of-context effect has to be considered whenever you correct an earlier comment that has received one or more replies. ―Mandruss☎07:47, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I didn't find the reviews you mentioned in your request where "Sources and prose were cited as inadequate". So, I'm not sure I addressed all issues involved there. There is one error-generating reference that doesn't have a title (a no-no for featured articles). I tried to find that detail in that particular issue of Sight and Sound (volume 40, number 2, Spring 1971), but to no avail, at least with my online resources. That will have to be fixed before article is taken to FAC, as well as some unusual citations where external links have been combined with Harvard referencing in understandable but apparently futile attempts to get short citations to point to specific pages. Dhtwiki (talk) 23:33, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dhtwiki: Thanks for doing the copy edits. I did add the missing title you mentioned, let me know if there are any more. This is the message about the poor cites and writing quality control from a month ago here [4]. Is there any way to get the year "2001" into the closing sentence of the plot section which was so important to Kubrick? @Jonesey95: Possibly you could also do a read through concerning the issues previously raised on quality control and if you think that the article and cites might need more effort prior to considering FAC or if they are sufficiently good. Your harvard cites look pretty good. Both of your edits have helped in significant ways for the article. CodexJustin (talk) 14:30, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dhtwiki, I checked a bunch of those harv ref / page number combos, and the ones I tried worked fine, like "Schwam 2010, p. 86" (currently note 162) and "LoBrutto 1998, p. 308" (currently note 64). If you know of any that aren't working, please let us know. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:15, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jonesey95: That looks good, the only thing I found was cites #171 and #172 which don't seem to recognize each other for "Dirks, Tim." Otherwise the Harvard cites look good to me, maybe Dhtwiki has some follow-up. CodexJustin (talk) 15:21, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what cites #171 and #172 which don't seem to recognize each other for "Dirks, Tim." means. Those references look and function fine for me, as far as I can tell. What are you hoping they will do that they are not doing now? – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:55, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dhtwiki: There are two links in that tab; one is on the year designation when you scroll your mouse over it which gives the reference info, and the other is linked over the author name when you click on it and get the full article. It should work if you click on it, and let me know if there are other links which look suspicious. Otherwise I think the article might be getting close to a renomination, let me know what you think and Jonesey for his citation efforts. CodexJustin (talk) 14:29, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I took a look at the failed FA nomination. It was a later version than the one linked to above that mentions specific issues with the prose, some of which, maybe all, I know I dealt with. I'll try to go through the list and see if anything was missed, and especially whether there are any "fused participles" left, which I tend to avoid, although I'm so unfamiliar with that particular term that I had to look it up and (re-?)encountered the controversy surrounding their use. Dhtwiki (talk) 21:43, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dhtwiki: Its looking pretty good to me. Did you have a chance to see if mentioning the year "2001" in the closing sentence of the plot is possible? Otherwise it looks like the harvard cites of Jonesey are also holding up. Let me know if I can add more or add clarification to any other sections. CodexJustin (talk) 15:14, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Irishman (2019 film)
Thanks so much for your improvements! I hope you will work on it again, since I personally want this article to be the best possible. I wish you a nice day! --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 15:27, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CodexJustin. I noticed that you recently used thefamouspeople.com as a source for biographical information in Aida Garifullina. Please note that there is general consensus that thefamouspeople.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for such information. (Discussions here and here). If you disagree, let's discuss it.
As far as frivolette.com is concerned, I can't find anything about it at all. It looks like a facade of some kind - public relations site perhaps. If you know anything about it, let me know.
Thanks for getting back on this. I am replacing the citations with one from People magazine with links, usually this is taken as a reliable source. I have seen photographs of her with her daughter, and possibly adding this to her article might help further. I think the People magazine citation works in this case.

19th amend
Hi there,
Just wanted to leave a note to say thanks again for your patience with that GAN. I've been hoping that the users who were involved in the development of the article would be participating in the review process, but thus far they seem to be unavailable. I still have every intention to continue with it. I just want to let you know that it's not a matter of not caring. Lots of work, dissertation, off-wiki volunteering commitments, work travel, etc. has been getting in the way. Bear with me a bit longer... :) --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CodexJustin, I've noted some places where citations are needed, particularly for direct quotations. There's some in 'Production --> Pre-production' and 'Soundtrack'. The subsection 'Reception --> 'Accolades' has no refs at all. I also think there's an over-reliance on direct quotations, some of which don't really say much. These problems will need fixing if you plan an FAC nomination. Cheers, Baffle☿gab04:13, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Baffle gab1978: That was really nice of you to do those. All the cite templates I found are now taken care of for the benefit of other readers. If you have seen this film or would like to do further abridgements of some of the long quotes, or add explanations for them, then it would be nice to see your additions to the article. It would be nice if you could since the FA nomination usually needs helpers and if you liked the film maybe you could join in for the enhancements process. CodexJustin (talk) 15:56, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No worries; thanks for adding the missing citations, I usually point out such problems, especially for an FAC nom. The film sounds like fun but II haven't seen it. I'll pass on further development of the article – I'm more of a fixer than a content developer – but thanks for asking and good luck with your planned FAC nomination. Cheers, Baffle☿gab20:42, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Martin Scorsese has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
As I made my first pass editing the article I began adding "Citation Needed" tags where necessary. I soon realized that this would simply clutter up the article because there are dozens of statements, particularly in earlier sections, that require citations. For this reason I added a tag at the top of the article. It is particularly important that a number of statements about his personal life are cited. To fully cite the article is going to require hours of work, but until this is done there is no chance the article will pass a GA review. This shouldn't prevent you from seeking a Peer Review as the citations are found.
I was going to suggest "surgery" to the Upcoming Projects section. I'm glad to see you have removed all the speculation.
