Hey. Welcome to my talk page. It's a place where you can leave me messages. Please do not leave templates unless it is absolutely necessary. See also the essay WP:TEMPLAR. I am a lady, so please do use female pronouns, but I won't fault you for not doing so accidentally. (I can be a bit masculine sometimes!) But anywho, don't hesitate to give me some critiques, invoke some discussion, or anything like it! Thanks.

Thanks

...For your support on Plandemic's talk page. I'm getting very frustrated with Guy's objections to something as innocuous as an infobox. The attempt to delete the article by Slatersteven was an odd move too, but it looks like most of the editors are against that. ZarhanFastfire (talk) 19:53, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

... and once more. After a full day of that ridiculous series of arguments for arguments' sake, my anxiety was getting triggered. I cooled off for the weekend, and responded to Guy one last time. Your efforts are valiant, but it's clear that those editors are denying the article an infobox because they are so offended by the subject that they cannot distinguish the two, nor the difference between arguing for improving the article and supporting/denigrating the article's subject, viz. ultimately accusing the editor (me), of variously bad faith, supporting woo or being a SPA. I am very, very glad I took another day or two off and that you stepped into the breach, because I might have lost my temper once that happened. They didn't even have to look at my edit history. They could have looked at the dozens of articles I've created, listed on my front page, mostly films and video (as I said). Some editors are just stubborn people who cannot admit when they are wrong and are best left to their own devices. It's just not worth it. While the infobox would add to the usefulness of the article, it's not doing any harm that it's not there. That I was reverted for adding one was not so much petty as an honest mistake. As you say, Slatersteven is an unknown. But the others: Guy, especially, its hard to believe he's an admin, or why he has such an axe to grind about infoboxes--some editors really do hate them I guess. Since I started writing articles myself without interruption, I've enjoyed Misplaced Pages a lot more. I rarely have to get into stupid arguments like this now. No good deed goes unpunished. I wouldn't bother doing an RfC now. The topic looks to me to be already canvassed.ZarhanFastfire (talk) 04:46, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Well, I did my last bit of arguing. And left them a goodbye FU (not really).ZarhanFastfire (talk) 05:47, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Danielle – I hope you're well! Glad to see you're still around. I just wanted to pop by and say that I appreciate your guidance and help six years ago when I first started editing. Your messages from then are a good reminder and model for the kindness with which we should address our newer editors. Best of luck with everything, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 18:08, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

L235, Frankly, it's amazing seeing where you are now. I had a gut feeling that things would turn out well, but I didn't imagine this well. It's amazing that you're a sysop now. I apologize for not !voting in your RfA, I would have definitely voted !support if I did. I'm not sure if I was inactive at the time or just didn't notice. Tutelary (talk) 18:20, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Louis Rossmann

The article Louis Rossmann has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A few valid sources do not provide an in-depth background info for this person. Furthermore, "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed"

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nightvour (talk) 08:40, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

Nomination of Louis Rossmann for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Louis Rossmann is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Louis Rossmann 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. Nightvour (talk) 19:15, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Tutelary,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

• A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
• Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
• A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
• Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

New Page Patrol December Newsletter

Hello Tutelary,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Living person biographies

May 2021

Hello, I'm Tutelary. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Larry Nassar, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Misplaced Pages has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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. Tutelary (talk) 18:39, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out. My edits were to provide a more accurate description. Can you specifically say where that goes against the guidelines for living people? As far as I am concerned it is just a different (and more accurate) descriptor.

Hello. I recognize your contribution was made in good faith. I am not going to challenge your revert if you wish to. Ultimately, I believe serial rapist and sex offender summarize it up well, and seems to be the article's stable lead sentence, and has been for months. I change my reason for your reverting your edit for a good faith edit, and apologize for the trouble in this matter. I have stricken the relevant content on your talk page.
