Happy New Year!

BuySomeApples (talk) — is wishing you a Happy New Year! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Happy New Year, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year!

Spread the New Year cheer by adding {{subst:New Year 1}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Happy New Year to you too, BuySomeApples! God, I can't believe it's been almost a year since we interacted. I hope we get to work together this year! Pamzeis (talk) 12:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Me too! Although to be fair, I've had kind of a strange year. Right now I'm planning to build up some AT / Fionna and Cake pages so that should be fun. BuySomeApples (talk) 12:38, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Admittedly, I haven't seen any of Adventure Time, but it sounds really fun :) Not really sure what's in it for me this year since it's gonna be pretty busy 'cuz of exams, but I'm hoping to work on more GAs or even FAs. BTW, feel free to drop by at anytime if you want a review or something, or even just to chat!​ Pamzeis (talk) 13:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

You should watch it sometime! The first few seasons are easy to pick up and put down, and it doesn't get lore-heavy until midway through. I'll definitely pop by to chat sometime, and I'll probably see you on an MLP page every now and then. BuySomeApples (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I've told myself that I wouldn't watch anything super long TV shows until the summer (when I have more time) 'cuz I get addicted to watching stuff really easily (like, I'll watch it for eight hours a day). But maybe I'll have a look at some point, though. I'll definitely tell you what I think if I do. Pamzeis (talk) 05:47, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

I respect that, sometimes I have to take media breaks to get anything done. I look forward to hearing what you think if you do ever get around to it! BuySomeApples (talk) 12:49, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Feedback

Hey Pamzeis. Hope all is well and Happy New Year. Not sure how busy you are these days and if you're still active in the FAC review space. Thought I'd ask, since your last nomination was a BLP of Mckenna Grace. I was wondering if you have time to provide some feedback on my current FAC. It's a short one (probably shorter than Mckenna's), so hopefully wont be too long to review. Totally understand though if things are busier IRL. Have a good one. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:09, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hiya, Pseud 14. Thanks for the request—the article looks really interesting (earning critical acclaim for her performance as the toilet cleaner is the most unexpected thing I've read in an FAC nom statement thus far)! I might be able to have a look, but I'm not the most free person ATM and have a bit to catch up IRL (if ya couldn't tell, I'm really good at procrastinating). Any review would probably have to come a few weeks from now and I'm not sure if the article would still be at FAC by then. If the article is still there, I will probably take a look, but I can't make any promises, unfortunately. I'm really sorry for not being able to review, but please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any reviews in the future! Good luck with the article! Pamzeis (talk) 13:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey no worries at all and thanks. Been a few months since I was on FAC too, so trying to get my rhythm back and recall whose reviewed my work before :), all the best! And hope to see you back soon whenever you're ready. Pseud 14 (talk) 16:32, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

February 2024

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Paige Niemann. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have continued to remove maintenance templates while also appearing to add promotional content, e.g. removing content directly about Neimann and presenting it as if the source is not directly discussing Neimann, and appear to have used a false edit summary [1]. Beccaynr (talk) 06:11, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

However, I reviewed the source more closely, and have edited the text slightly into a compromise version. However, the repeated removal of the maintenance templates without addressing the Fan POV and promotional issues continues to seem problematic. Beccaynr (talk) 06:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Hiya, Beccaynr! As I explained in my edit summary, I removed the maintenance tags because I believed the issues were not applicable (i.e. it was not written from a fan POV or promotional), and was not trying to be "disruptive" or "problematic". I'm not sure what content that I added that rings as "promotional" to you? If there are any bits where you feel that it's still promotional or anything, you could point them out and I could try to fix them. Thanks! Pamzeis (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Pamzeis, thank you for following up, and I apologize for my frustrated reaction to the removals of the templates - from my view, even this [2] removal had not adequately addressed an ongoing issue of relying on mostly interview-based coverage from several years ago to present Neimann as she promotes herself and has been promoted in low-quality, sensationalized coverage. From my view, the article still seemed to mimic some of the sensational coverage (e.g. "Niemann stated that she was told she resembled" ... "TikTok users dubbed her Grande's doppelgänger" ... "Niemann dresses and styles herself similar to Grande"), and then concludes by noting coverage of the OnlyFans account. I think it is particularly challenging to develop this article with the available sources - the sources tend toward sensationalism, and we don't seem to have a lot to balance it, and negative coverage isn't particularly helpful, especially for a mostly low-profile person.

However, I think your edits preceding the removal of the templates were an improvement, and I overreacted to noticing the removal of the templates again (while it was late for me and I was distracted, basically exactly what WP:SLEEPY cautions against), and the article has since continued to improve with further edits and the addition of context. I am still concerned about this article from a general WP:BLP standpoint, and whether negative coverage about Neimann should really be helping justify the existence of a standalone article, but for now, I think the article has developed into a more balanced, neutral, and sourced article and I do not plan to restore the templates.

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:

• Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
• Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
• Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
• MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
• Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

About the genre situation

So you and me have been going back and forth on wether ‘a friend of the family’ is considered a psychological horror, my pov on it is that even though the creator had stated it to be one it isn’t publicly viewed as that enough to be labeled as one, it’s like how jordan peele has called ‘get out’ a social thriller film yet it’s more viewed as a horror meaning it’s called one in the article, I hope this helps the situation a bit better Pomniismywife (talk) 11:38, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Mckenna Grace, "about the girl who plays the younger version of every single white, blond actress (Margot Robbie, Kiernan Shipka, Brie Larson, the list goes on) and that creepy kid on Lifetime. At age 17, Mckenna Grace has over 70 credits, making her the most-credited child actor ever. She was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award at 1615 and has impressive range (she played both Paige in Young Sheldon and Esther Keyes in The Handmaid's Tale)."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:56, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I want to clarify on Olivia Rodrigo page - infobox instruments, you said that electric guitar falls under guitar and keyboard with piano. Then why you and other editors allow to post other musicians profile with multi instruments like Jack White with guitar and bass guitar? (bass guitar) is a type of electric guitar or St. Vincent (musician) with guitar and bass, do you know bass is an (electric guitar)? or in Bruno Mars page with guitar, with piano, keyboards, guitar, bass and ukelele (they it all belongs to guitar family)? Olivia plays piano to keyboards, acoustic guitar to electric guitar or bass guitar to ukelele. Why is it not allowed on her profile but its okay to post on others musicians profile? Please advice --Forgiveandloveoneanother (talk) 08:01, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey, Forgiveandloveoneanother. What I'm trying to do here is avoid the infobox list becoming a WP:COATRACK of all the instruments Rodrigo plays; as instructed at Template:Infobox musical artist, nstruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a WP:COATRACK for every instrument the subject has ever used. (emphasis in original) I think guitar and piano are warranted for inclusion as Rodrigo commonly uses them to write songs and as accompaniments when playing live, but I wouldn't say that's the case for the electric guitar or the keyboard. I believe she's only used the electric guitar when playing "Obsessed" and the keyboard as a substitute for a piano. Also, I don't think there are any fundamental differences between the way she uses the keyboard vs the piano (other than maybe the pedals), so I'd be inclined not to list it. Apologies for the late reply, BTW, I haven't been very active on WP lately. Lemme know what you think! Pamzeis (talk) 08:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
