:::Urgh. Ok, my thoughts on this. I read the talk page yesterday. I have criticized Haiduc before for not using highest quality sourcing for very contentious topics, namely in the ] article. I have criticized you for not being able to leave well enough alone, but not related to Haiduc. So, I don't know if I'm the best person to try to mediate here. I have a sinking suspicion if I tried, no one would like what I say and it would devolve into nonsense and mediation, or ArbCom or some other tar pit. I haven't read these sources, but the only thing to do to step in between would be to get them, and read them, and offer a 3rd opinion how they are being used. I have to look at this economically, as an issue of the worth of my time. I honestly don't know if I spent all the time reading this, writing my opinion and posting on the talk page, if it would make the situation worse. I would, of course, wish all articles to be as accurate as possible, but that often means that I have to be the one expending energy on ensuring that, and I have a limited amount when other things like ego and agenda are involved. Let me think on it. --] (]) 15:44, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

== Precious anniversary ==
Ms. Moni, I got myself a question 4 u. I've tried locating a guideline related to the usage of image galleries. The only thing I ] is rather open to interpretation. Are there any examples of an article with a large image gallery passing GA/A/FA nomination? I found an article containing 3<small>ish</small> paragraphs and 24 images. I'm trying to explain on the article's talk page why the current layout looks unprofessional, but good-faith (fellow ] members, so they're automatically cool just like APK) editors want to keep the gallery. Am I incorrect or can large galleries be considered useful to the readers? <small>In case you're wondering (probably not), I'm not trying to solicit an agreement on the article's talk page. APK is a big boy (almost potty trained). He's just a queer who finds image policies confusing.</small> ] ] 19:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
{{User QAIbox/auto|years=Nine}} --] (]) 07:11, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
:Here's my off the cuff guess based on what I've seen in FAs. Galleries logically belong to articles where visuals are integral to understanding the context of the ideas within, like art, museums, and sometimes historical places or buildings. Most art FAs (]) have enough text that the images are interspersed throughout the article, making the gallery unnecessary. ] has a small gallery at the bottom. However, you would have to be careful to make sure the gallery images are public domain. For instance, it would not be a good idea to place a gallery of ]'s images at the bottom of his article because they are mostly under copyright, non-free images. All non-free images have to have a rationale to include them. FA non-free rationales should be rock solid: this image is here because readers will be unable to understand the information without it. Thus, if it's in a gallery, it's not necessary because there is no text to support why the image is so important.
==Orphaned non-free image File:Vanity Fair Cover Lang Crawford.jpg==
:I'm assuming you took these yourself? In that case, don't worry about the non-free. Are you hoping to add enough information to the article to make the gallery unnecessary?
] Thanks for uploading ''']'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a ]. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see ]).
:I reviewed ] for GA many moons ago (now I see the lead has been gutted...). That has a gallery because it is an entire art movement. Hope I answered your question in my rambling babbling way. --] (]) 19:24, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

:Galleries are a relatively rare issue at FAC; typically there is enough text to incorporate images without a gallery. The most recent time this came up at FAC (that I can remember) was regarding ], where a small gallery of his paintings was rather hotly debated ]. The article ultimately was promoted with the gallery, presumably because (1) it had something like 17 other images and (2) the gallery offered the opportunity to incorporate commentary/interpretation/cites. Kind of a backasswards answer, but a little precedent never hurts. ] (]) 19:30, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Greetings!


] core team is happy to inform you that the ] Contest is happening again this year in October and November. We invite Wikipedians all over the world to join in improving content related to African cinema on Misplaced Pages!
:::Gah! Yes, that needs some assistance. Ideally, an article about an architectural movement should use each image to illustrate an integral component to the style or the formation/evolution of the style. As it is today, Richardsonian Romanesque has very little text and a lot of visuals. If you would like to take on this article and expand it, I would leave the gallery in until you have enough text to employ images to illustrate each important concept. What is leftover can be placed in the gallery. If you feel the gallery is very helpful for the reader, then you should stick by your guns and say when reviewers at GA or FA suggest getting rid of the gallery to keep it. --] (]) 19:44, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

== The Months of African Cinema Contest Continues in November! ==
:Were you thinking of making this FA, or just scouting the possibilities? I worked on Ann Bannon's article when I was just learning what I had available at my fingertips in terms of sources. I was lucky in that her story is compelling enough that she's been the subject of quite a bit of writing, but 30 years had to pass between the publication of her books and the first analysis of their influence. I've worked on some others, such as ] (which probably ''could'' be brought to FA, but I haven't read most of her pulp fiction books or her children's novels) and ] that I've pretty much reconciled will remain start or B class articles.


{{Ivmbox|]
:I did a search in the databases here (which is dangerous because I wander all over the place when I do that), and found quite a few reviews. I don't know if you don't have access to these. The database Literature Resource Center yielded articles, reviews, and a biography. An article in Library Literature & Information Science, but not much else. If I get all serious about getting an FA on something, I almost always contact an expert in the field. In the case of Ann Bannon, I contacted her directly and made the priorities of neutrality and COI clear, but asked if she knew of sources I could use. She had some listed on her website. The Museum of Bad Art had all of their press mentions listed (was a huge list, too). These nudges were helpful in that each source mentioned another somewhere. Does Clarke have a press or literary agent? Might it be possible to contact the agent to assist with some citations you could hunt down?

Yes, there are dozens of images of Milk that would be great to have. I contacted several photographers to ask them permission to use their images in this article, but they turned me down because they own their images and they get paid for their craft; it's their prerogative to say no to giving their work away for free.

== Mention re Mahalia Jackson's article ==
Maybe this should continue via email, but I'll start it here. In my RFA back in March, you opposed because of my lack of judgment, along with several other editors, and I agree it was well worth it. I've had a lot of RL work on my hands, so I've procrastinated this for a while. What do you suggest to work on to fix my compromised judgment? I figured I would start it here, since you're the probably the oppose I'm most familiar with (if that makes sense at all). ''']'''] 22:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
:P.S. I'm doing this for the community benefit, not for self-gain. I'd like to make that clear.


Hey, just in case you don't get the ping, see ] on my talk page about the omission of the "queen of gospel" appellation . Not urgent or anything, but by the time you see this it might be archived to ]. ''']'''] 04:01, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
:I don't participate in RfA much. I seem to miss editors I know, and most of those up for RfA I have had no contact with. So it's a rarity that I commented at all. Initially, I hoped to spark a discussion. I know that's a foreign concept at RfA beyond "You suck!" and a string of acronyms that are impossible to figure out. I hoped that you would participate to indicate your advancement within the past year. I've made some wince-worthy edits when I didn't understand what I was doing. Making mistakes is ok; I wanted your input on it. The lack of discussion is what disappointed me.
:So what is your own opinion of your judgment? How would you characterize your growth from the time you started to the period I made reference to in your RfA (the passing of GAs that were clearly not ready) to the past 2 months?
:It is difficult to ascertain from every editor I come across what their priorities are. An ideal admin, in my opinion, is here to add content and does not see having admin abilities as a token of status or popularity. Unfortunately, when the process is made so freaking difficult and arbitrary, it's almost impossible not to see becoming an admin a rite of torturous passage. Among admins who are familiar with content expansion, I would like to know that content is their highest priority, and that they are able to assess when an agenda or other motivation is clouding an editor's judgment. I believe that acquiring GAs got in your way some months ago. Whether that was due to age or your relationship with EotW I cannot say, but article content was clearly not your priority. It's ok, you know, to say that you screwed up for whatever reason, back when you were passing poor GAs. You may have been busy in your real life during the RfA, but the lack of discussion and participation in your opposes was, unfortunately, a sign that you are not ready to dedicate some time and effort in addressing those issues. --] (]) 17:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:Alright, I just wanted to clarify that. Also I hope you and other editors have come to appreciate the enormous growth of maturity I have undergone since then. Back when I was passing articles as GAs, I had no purpose for editing. I just let my attitude flow into whatever I was doing. Of course, now, I would like to think I have a purpose here-expanding earth sciences articles. I'd like to focus primarily on them, from now on, rather than getting involved in the politics of RFA and the rest of the bureaucratic side of the wiki. As I pointed out in an email to WereSpielChequers (my nom), I don't think I'm really interested in running for an RFA after three months until I can be sure my judgment is not severely compromised, as suggested in my RFA. Something tells me I'm not cut out for the job-even if others offer to nominate me, I intend to decline, at least within the next six months. Sorry if you felt I wasted your time.

Hi Moni3, especially after running into you yesterday, I've decided to stop by and mention something. I did sleep on the matter, so I'm not just impulsively coming here and blabbing "did you know". Since you're an admin., you're fully aware of AGF, and I hope that you'll do so in this case. To the point, there is a guideline being drafted:
*]
I posted at CENT, AN, and Village pump, but thought perhaps they were not pages you watched. I noticed in my travels that you were friends with Jeff, or at least you knew him through his work here. A recent letter from Jeff's mom is what finally pushed me to the point that I wanted to make sure you were aware of the discussion. David Shankbone posted the letter at the bottom of the proposal; so, if nothing else I thought you may want to read that. I'm not trying to canvass you into adding your opinions on the items being considered, but if they were something that you'd be interested in, and I didn't mention it to you - then I would be the one in the wrong. I noticed several other people who knew Jeff, but haven't edited the proposed guideline as well, since you are an admin, I'll leave that to your discretion as to whether or not to inform them of this as well. I did notice one other admin. that knew Jeff, so I may drop a note at Keeper's talk as well, but outside that - I think it better that you mention it to anyone else that may be interested. Again, if you are already aware of this proposal, and just didn't care to add your thoughts - please forgive me, and feel free to disregard or even delete this message. I promise you, I'm making this post with only the best intentions in my heart.

I see that you have warned ] about his rampant and undiscussed splitting of articles. Well, what he's done now is split every single NFL team's article to a "Logos and Uniforms of Team" page. He did not make a single discussion post, nor left a single edit summary. I strongly feel that these splits were absolutely inappropriate: he did not improve any of them, leaving them unreferenced and of poor quality; many of the team articles are not long and do not need tobe split; and logos and uniforms are not notable enough for their own article. I went and reverted most of these unnecessary, unexplained splits, and then Levineps just undid every one of them with no comment, no question of me, nothing.

==GA Sweeps invitation==
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the ''']'''. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the ''']''' has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A ''']''' has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the ]. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the ], and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or ] and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing! ] (] • ]) 08:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

== Due to ==

Hi Moni, long time no speak. Personally, I think "due to" is overused in some texts, and some (perhaps not all) changed to "because of" or "since". What is your view? On that subject, do you share my misgivings about the use of "as" (in its meaning of "because")? Occasionally it's clear, but my feeling is that often its dual meaning of "while" or "because" has to be reverse-disambiguated by the reader. A faulty little nook of English? ] ] 14:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
:I think it's interesting that I have worked with copy editors who regularly make my plain language read smarter and they drop their pearls of wisdom on me and I feel as if my writing style is primordial sludge to their evolutionary marvels. Scartol's advice never to start a sentence with "There" had me dumbfounded. Other common sense tips on your interactive sentence strengtheners were more "duh" moments. Now I must limit the use of "due to". What is surprising is that I had Scartol, Dank55, and others pore over the article in which the anon IPs changed the due tos. How strong is the faction of grammar wonks who must cloak themselves in anonymity to copy edit FAs for mention of things being due to other things? I'm imagining an entire ''V for Vendetta'' kind of grammar-propelled secret society. --] (]) 14:25, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
::I've been looking into the whole "Don't start a sentence with 'there'" thing, and it seems that I've been pushing a narrow ideological preference under the guise of a consensus guideline. In fact, my Warriner's Fourth Course grammar textbook includes directions for diagramming sentences beginning with "there", as close an endorsement of the acceptability of this practice as I can find. So I guess it's a personal problem that I've got. (Apparently does too, but says it's a silly rule.) I'll try to be less dogmatic in the future. =) ]&nbsp;•&nbsp;] 18:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi - Several editors involved in the IfD are edit warring over the inclusion of the photo in the violence article. Would you look at it and take whatever action you feel is appropriate. Regardless of the debate about the fair use inclusion, the edit war is unhelpful for everyone. Since you commented in the IfD, you are more aware of the context involved, but if you would rather not get involved, I will understand and will post at ANI. — ] (]) 11:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

== Possible homophobia ==

In response to your ANI concerns, I will put this up for analysis: I work as a Catholic Apologist, which means that I actively defend the Catholic Church and their positions in many ways (promotions, articles in the newspaper, opinion columns, etc). I have always acknowledged this and have CoI'd myself from many articles here. My statements on Misplaced Pages Review were an explanation of the Church's stance. In it, I stated that the Church believes that marriage is only for reproduction and sex is only for children. This does not make any claims about sexuality, nor does it distinguish heterosexuals from homosexuals. I was also challenged about those who are heterosexual and cannot have children (which also should not marry, and, if they find out that they married but cannot have children, this is grounds for an annulment or, if they stay married, they are called to be chaste). In the Church's belief, all humans are children of God, and all are called to Chastity. Yes, people sin. Yes, people can seek forgiveness and redemption. The Church has no problems with platonic love in any form.

Now, for my personal actions on Wiki, I have always tried to be considerate of different people's views. I have even worked with Haiduc in improving an LGBT article that I saved from AfD. Our dispute was not about the sexuality of the individual, but over individual weight given to individual critics (I wanted more Byron criticism sources and he wanted more historical/socio-historical sources). The other disputing with him on the page about pederasty was merely carry over from some other pages and had nothing to do with our individual dispute. We have since gotten that page to GA level. I have also worked on many other LGBT pages and I have no problem with them. Many of the authors I have written about have long documented homosexual experiences. I have also spent a lot of time discussing with and working with many prominent homosexuals, bisexuals, etc, of Misplaced Pages on IRC in order to ensure that characterizations were fair. ] (]) 17:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

:I'm a convinced Quaker, and I have to admit that sometimes I would like to post "Get the gun!" at ANI. Follow my bouncing ball, if you will. I think it would be interesting to poll editors on Misplaced Pages to find out the age range and predominant sex at different forums and Wikiprojects. What that might imply, I don't know, but it's my distinct impression that 17-year-old males dominate RfA. I don't understand the preoccupation by people at RfA to undermine other editors. Though you don't seem to be able to say "Whatever" to comments made at or near you, I can't figure out wtf is going on at RfA most days of the week. I try to devote some energy to untangling the woven webs of crap, but generally I just can't muster up the care. Content editing is so much more fun.

:Seriously, you should try it: "So what?" It's liberating.

:::Rock on, Ealdgyth. I've been working on a song article recently. It's awesome. Were I so inclined to try to post my crackpot theories into articles, it would be in the Creativity article (I haven't even read it) that would state an essential element of creativity is monetary, emotional, or social poverty. People who are forced out of the normal working parameters find other ways to work. Blacks and gays are two groups that have exhibited extraordinary creativity in American culture because they have been excluded from mainstream expressions of what they hold most dear. It's not limited to such marginalized groups, though. Anyone who rejects a faulty system and makes his own parameters is creative. Get enough of that will to screw what is wrong and work in your own realm and history is made. The caveat is forming a direction. Without it, telling the faulty system to screw itself is just cranky, not creative. --] (]) 18:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

:::::"People who are forced out of the normal working parameters find other ways to work. Blacks and gays are two groups that have exhibited extraordinary creativity" – no, no, no. What's true for some subcultures in 20th century America isn't true for other times and other places; the driving force of social, artistic and political change is and always has been the idle rich. Artists starving in garrets, well, starve. Click on random biographies of prominent historic artists, and count how often you read the words "the second son of Lord…" or "his father, a wealthy…" (poor sharecroppers can't afford to put their kids through art school, and even if they could couldn't spare them from the farm). What differentiates post-war Western society from any other is that mechanisation, the decline of social hierarchy and vastly increased literacy have put more people in a position where they have free time to do "their own thing", and the basic framework abilities to do so competently. (Personally, I'd question the whole "blacks and gays" thing anyway, even in the current climate; for every Motown legend or super-hip NYC scenester, there are a million ordinary Joes and Josephines just trying to pay the rent. The whole "gays are so artistic" thing should rightly have died with Oscar Wilde.)&nbsp;–&nbsp;'''''<font color="#E45E05">]</font><font color="#C1118C">]</font>''''' 21:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

::::::You're going to make me write the entire creativity article right here, aren't you? Ok, it is true that there are elements of creativity that must be present: time (for Aristotle, that means time was created by slaves; now time is created by machines), access to a wide array of infuences, and an inherent talent that is individual and not ascribed to groups. But what I am most interested in is how an individual takes on what s/he learns as a member of a group and changes it into something new and revolutionary. It is my belief, due to my observations, that people who have a searing desire borne of living ''without'', added with the three other elements are the most creative. One of the recurring themes on ''The Actors Studio'' is that every interviewee who has appeared on that show has either lost a parent or had parents who divorced or left. Being marginalized does not create talent. Being talented does not equal creativity. Creativity comes from seeing what lacks and desiring that something better should fill it. I am in no way romanticizing financial poverty, but there is a soul-altering sadness in poverty and disenfranchisement that revolutionizes human expression, because those who have been rejected by the mainstream in turn reject the mainstream. I am not suggesting that only poor or sad people can be creative, but I am becoming convinced that truly content people will or can not be the kind of creative that affects society deeply. --] (]) 21:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Not convinced. If anything unifies great original artists/philosophers/scientists/engineers (the four blur together until the 20th century), it's that something happened at some point to lodge the twin (related) ideas "there must be something more than this" and "I can do something to make that something happen". The first is indeed often a corollary of poverty or disenfranchisement (but can equally well be a product of religious training – cf. Darwin, Vivaldi, Newton); the second generally requires some permutation of free money or free time. I suspect the "disenfranchisement" thing stems as much from the fact that radical change is generally a reaction against something, and people who are comfortably off are less likely to feel the need to react – but those few that do feel the need are so much better placed to do something about it.&nbsp;–&nbsp;<font style="font-family: Lucida Handwriting, Segoe Script"><font color="#E45E05">]</font><font color="#C1118C">]</font></font> 22:09, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

<undent> I see your point, but I cannot discard mine. The study of creativity and intelligence is only about 100 years old. Your references address a period before the study of what makes people intelligent and creative. Though I know science and engineering requires creativity of the sort I'm talking about, I usually concentrate on arts and humanities when bolstering my crackpot theories. Studying creativity in science would be very interesting. Our divergent observations make it possible that my views are distinctly American in that I'm assuming everyone knows that revolution is good, and the innovator should be studied and honored despite class status. This suggests that a compelling element of creativity is a variable. Furthermore, I tend to study creativity that comes not as conscious thought but an uncontainable urge. Much food for thought. --] (]) 22:30, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

…and I can see you online now – do you know what (if anything) our policy is on the reliability of theses (thesises?) as sources?

:Really? There's nothing on theses as reliable sources? Puzzling. I think the guideline is that unless there is just not a lot of information published, theses are to be avoided because they are generally considered not to be fact checked consistently from one professor to the next, or from one university to the next. I will defer to Ealdgyth and Awadewit on this, however.--] (]) 22:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
:: Butting in. There have been many conversations about this at the Reliable sources noticeboard (the most recent with links to past discussions) and (surprise) there is no solid answer. If it's a doctoral dissertation from Harvard and the claim it's supporting is non-contentious.. sure. If it's a Master's thesis from an accredited but obscure institution and the claim is incredible... well, better to find a better source. One good suggestion is to look at the sources used in the thesis. More often than not, they will also help support the claims being made in the paper. --] ] 22:45, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
:::It's (I think) a doctoral thesis (architectural qualifications confuse me; Chinese architectural qualifications ''certainly'' confuse me), but from the ] which is certainly a respectable institution. I'm only using it to add additional background such as exact dimensions to a section that's already mostly sourceable to unquestionable RS's, so shouldn't hopefully be an issue. Anyway, the most important line in that article (''"A large crowd assembled on the bridge in September 1844 to watch Mister Barry, a ] from ], sail from ] to ] in a ] towed by ]"'') is impeccably sourced.

Retired

Hello, Wikipedians. I'm still (mostly) retired. If you're a regular user, please watch the articles I've written to protect them. Go find a bad article and make it a good one. Best of luck to you all. Moni3 (talk) 19:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

But from the look at your contributions, it looks like you're back! Mahalia Jackson, all right! That makes me so happy. Keep it up, pal, and know that I always have your back when it comes to your outstanding work here. Let me know if you need assistance. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 05:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you, Christine. I'm sorry to disappoint though. I don't have anything on the horizon to write about. I just had a little time and it's about to run out so I don't know when I'll be able to write another article. Thank you for watching Mahalia Jackson and any of the other articles I've written. Enjoy. Moni3 (talk) 13:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for The Body (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), introduced:
