3 or Three

Hi Steve - I saw your comments on the talkpage of Three, and I've asked for any help from the film project. Thanks. Lugnuts (talk) 11:16, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mithril

Please note that Tolkien Gateway is a wiki that anyone can edit, therefore it is not a reliable source for conjecture like you added to Mithril. GimliDotNet (Speak to me,Stuff I've done) 21:06, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. What about the other reference, which applied to the second sentence? —Steve98052 (talk) 21:10, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that fails the test too, just a blog from what looks like an amateur author? If he's notable then it could be included but it doesn't look like he is? GimliDotNet (Speak to me,Stuff I've done) 21:14, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He's clearly a professional author. He has 19 hard-copy books listed on Amazon, a writing credit on IMDB, and a documented in-development film project. However, he doesn't present himself as Tolkien or literary scholar or a metallurgist on his blog "about" page, so professional writer or not, I suppose he's not a reliable source on that topic. Comparisons to real-world metals are a reasonable topic to address on an article about a fictional metal, but to count as a reliable source such observations should probably come from a stronger source, whether it's reliable by virtue of publication in a book, journalistic source, or blog by someone with literary or metallurgy credentials. —Steve98052 (talk) 21:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not very glamourous, I know, but BMK is a very experienced editor. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:33, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I looked at his statistics as part of thinking about how to react to the spelling change, and saw that he has about 135 times as many edits as I do. I respect the contributions of more-experienced editors, and question their edits only after double-checking my own work.

Chinet.

Seeing your edit. The chinet site fails IRS and should not be cited for sourcing. As you've added it as an external link I've left it but thought I'd just point out the issue. All the best Garlicplanting (talk) 13:08, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trivial Pursuit Editions

Hey Steve, just wanted to let you know I've picked up the Trivial Pursuit Editions page where you left off. (Props to you for all the work you invested in starting it.)

I decided to eliminate some redundancy and absorb the Subsidiary Card Sets list with the Master Game list as many were released in both formats and it because it was a bit of a chore to try to guess in which list you might find a particular title.

Wikipedia's not happy with the list being primarily U.S. editions, but oh well, no way am I going to try to open that can of worms with the tons of different editions released worldwide. Shikamoo (talk) 04:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Street Layout of Seattle

Hi Steve,

I see you have edited "Street Layout of Seattle." I noticed that the "map of directional zones" and the text are contradictory. The map shows the East section (below canal and above Denny) following Eastlake Ave. E. on its Western border all the way from Denny to the canal. However the text states: "... between Queen Anne Avenue N and a border defined by Eastlake Avenue E (south of E Nelson Place) and Lake Union (north of E Nelson Place),[7] the Avenue N section, in which avenues are suffixed N and in which streets have no prefix; east of the Eastlake Avenue E–Lake Union border, the E section." Based on the street naming I see in Google maps, it appears to me the text is correct and the map is wrong. Is this something that can be corrected?" How would that be done?

Jamie Chung

Hi. Thanks for adding mention of Jamie Chung's appearance in the film 1985. However, please do not add content to articles that isn't accompanied by inline citations of reliable, secondary sources, as with this addition of yours to Jamie Chung, since, as you know by now, this violates the site's policies, and makes the article less verifiable to readers. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:14, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of the other filmography entries have citations in the Jamie Chung article, and the 1985 appearance and character name are in IMDB, which is generally considered a reliable source. But at your request, I included citations for the appearance and character name (which are consistent with what I remember from seeing the film four days ago, which I know is original research, but also backs up recent revisions to reliable sources). I put them into comments, because citing IMDB is not customary in filmography lists.
I've also reinstated the Golden Space Needle Award, this time with a citation of the source.
I don't know whether this reply will generate a notification for you if I put it on my user page, so I put it onto both pages. — Steve98052 (talk) 09:02, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Post.news

I am amazed to find no Wikipedia article about Post.news, so I'm going to create a stub. — Steve98052 (talk) 08:01, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is amazing. Just wondering now about the name: on their website, and in all the references I see, it's called just "Post". Should we move it to something like Post (social network)? Storchy (talk) 11:17, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. The domain name is "Post.news", but it is generally referred to as "Post". On the other hand, there's a "Post Social" in Norway and Sweden. When I saw the buzz about Post, I didn't catch the full domain name and ended up signing up for the Norwegian Post Social by mistake, puzzled by the mention of a long waitlist.

scope_creepTalk 14:52, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should the time come that Post.news appears to be gaining traction, is the deleted version archived somewhere that it could be used as a starting point for a new article?
What is the right place to gather references that will be useful for a reinstated article, assuming the time comes to reinstate it? For the moment, all I have is this: [1]. But I'm pretty sure my talk page is not the best place for it.
— Steve98052 (talk) 21:29, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Another thought: would Twitter#Since_2022 or a "competitors' responses" section for Acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk page make sense, not just for Post, but for the various emerging rivals and existing companies' attempts to exploit Twitter's problems?
