Costello questionHey there Rlendog. Do you own a copy of James Perone's Costello book? I saw you cited him on Stranger in the House (song) and thought I'd ask. If yes I was hoping you could help me out. Thanks. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 19:29, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTORHello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up.

I am working to update the article for Brookfield Asset Management, the company I work for. I noticed you are listed at Category:WikiProject Finance & Investment participants and thought perhaps you would be interested in taking a look at an edit request posted by my colleague Mrn helmers. There were some non-NPOV edits recently made to the article which should be reverted. Another editor made some of the requested changes, but I would appreciate if you, a more experienced editor, would take a look at the edit request (which has since been closed by editor Z1720) at Talk:Brookfield Asset Management and revert the edits that you agree are not neutral.

I'm not a registered wikipedia user/editor but I have noticed an error on this page: "Like a Hurricane", track 1 on disc 9 is listed as "Recorded at Studio, Broken Arrow Ranch, 11/25/1975." However, according to the booklet included in the box set (and other sources including the wikipedia page of the song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_a_Hurricane_(song)) the recording date actually is 11/29/1975. Maybe you can correct that.
Kinks singlesHi Rlendog! Just wanted to apologize for not getting back to you earlier about the Kinks articles for the Soap Opera singles that were under consideration for deletion. I have not been very active on Wikipedia as of late and hence failed to notice the developments there. Thanks for doing your best to bulk them up--my sources haven't changed much for Kinks info since I created the articles, so I would've been at a loss. Beatleswhobeachboys (talk) 03:38, 21 April 2022 (UTC) FAR for Fin whaleI have nominated Fin whale for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks.

Introduction to contentious topics You have recently been editing gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, which has been designated a contentious topic. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 19:38, 2 March 2023 (UTC) Replaceable fair use File:Yesterday's Dreams single label.jpg Thanks for uploading File:Yesterday's Dreams single label.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.

It points to Kobe Bryant. THe page on his daughter has now been re-created at Gianna "Gigi" Bryant, a terrible title which will need to be changed, but please unprotect the redirect so that it can be retargetted to that page. When the page gets moved, the redirect will follow it. For context, there's been a wide discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red#Can someone good at 'formalizing' help me with the draft for Gianna Bryant?, resulting in the new article, which had been declined at AfC, being rewritten by a very experienced editor, partly to encourage the inexperienced editor who had put a lot of effort into creating a fairly poor draft. The consensus was that developments since the last AfD probably now make her notable. I went to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease, but then re-read the instructions there and discovered I needed to come here first. I hope you can help. Thanks.

I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject). If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Need a little helpHi. I'm posting here what I posted on FormalDude's page. Please forgive me for not being super Wiki-literate yet. I was just looking for some help and noticed that FormalDude isn't an admin so I found your page, Rlendog: Hi FormalDude. Could you take a look at the NYU Law Review's page? This user "Randykitty" for some reason feels the need to erroneously remove our logo from our page. You reversed him once already last year but he just removed the logo again (for the same reason you'd reversed him) claiming the logo isn't being used by the Law Review. Here is evidence of the Law Review using the logo that's on the Wiki page (that Randykitty will for some reason try to remove again): https://www.instagram.com/nyulawreview/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/nyulr/ https://twitter.com/nyulawreview Nyulrlogo (talk) 21:56, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
