Advice

@Tim O'Doherty I recently undertook the evaluation of the article Physics Wallah for GA review. While I'm not well-versed in the subject matter, I thoroughly examined the prose and all the cited references, which enabled me to make an assessment of the article. However, I noticed that it contains only one image. Would that suffice for a GA-class article? Additionally, could you please verify whether the image is usable or not? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 16:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it is sufficient. Yes, it appears to be PD. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 16:51, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Do you have any additional suggestions for Cameron's article? Please take a look at it when you have the time. Currently, let me know about its quality and what you think still needs to be fixed. I'm aware that I need to improve the quality of the references cited. Are there any other suggestions you have regarding the images, prose, lead, etc.? Please inform me soon. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 16:57, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

I don't have any further suggestions short of a rewrite. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 20:17, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Do you believe that the recent addition of high-quality references and the trimming down of Catherine's article will enhance its chances of passing FAC? If not, please advise on any further changes needed. Additionally, are you aware of any published books about Catherine and her life? Your prompt response would be appreciated. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 13:24, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes. No. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 14:26, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty I have listed Catherine's article for FA with Keivan as co-nominator. It is fine, isn't it? There were a number of inconsistencies in the article titles as well as many references which did not align with the prose it supported. Anyways, all the issues have been resolved for the time being, I suppose. Looking forward to the comments at FAC. Hope you are doing great. Regards and looking forward to your response. MSincccc (talk) 18:19, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

It should be fine. Just remember to transclude it onto WP:FAC: copy-paste {{Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Catherine, Princess of Wales/archive1}} at the top with the others. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 18:48, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Is it fine now? I have added the nomination at WP:FAC. Looking forward to your response. Regards MSincccc (talk) 18:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

The FAC coordinator suggests removing the following images if suitable image tags cannot be found for them.

File:Arms_of_Catherine,_Princess_of_Wales.svg needs a tag for the original design. File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Kate_Middleton.svg, File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Catherine,_Duchess_of_Cambridge_(2011-2019).svg, File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Catherine,_Duchess_of_Cambridge.svg, File:Combined_Coat_of_Arms_of_William_and_Catherine,_the_Duke_and_Duchess_of_Cambridge.svg @Tim O'Doherty Would you advise me on this matter? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 14:56, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

I'd say remove them. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 14:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Removed them. Will that do @Tim O'Doherty for FAC? Regards MSincccc (talk) 15:06, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Any further suggestions? You have been a part of two successful FACs hence your advice will be greatly appreciated. Regards MSincccc (talk) 16:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

No, I don't have any further suggestions. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 17:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

When are we collaborating next? I am eager to work on an article with you be it a GAN or simply improving an article's quality. It would be great. Please share your thoughts on this soon. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 17:52, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Dunno. I'm not sure there's a point in collaborating just for the sake of collaborating: if you find an article you'd like to work on together you can come here, but hunting for an article just to collaborate defeats the point a bit. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 18:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty When do you plan to submit Rishi Sunak's article for GA? Also, would you be interested in reviewing Zuckerberg's article for GA? It has been quite some time since it was nominated. If you could take it up for review, it would be appreciated. I have cleaned up the article considerably and am familiar with it. Just waiting for a reviewer to take it up. Additionally, let me know your thoughts on the above, and when you intend to submit Sunak's article for GA, as I am eager to do so. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 18:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Not before he's stopped being PM. It's only been a few weeks since it was nominated: some people have been waiting far longer. It will get picked up eventually. Be patient. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:01, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty What about the images used in the article Aza Arnold which I had requested you to verify? Please do let me know soon as there are only two of them out there. Regards MSincccc (talk) 19:08, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Could you help me in rephrasing this paragraph from Cameron's article-Cameron visited Kyiv on 3 May 2024 where he was asked about Ukrainian strikes on Russian soil. He replied in part: "Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself." He was then asked if this applied to UK supplied weapons he said that "In terms of what the Ukrainians do, in our view, it is their decision about how to use these weapons". Regards. MSincccc (talk) 19:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Re Arnold, both seem fine. Re Cameron, don't see why it needs to be in the article. He was asked a question and gave a reply. Nothing really notable about it, unless it's a massive foreign policy switch that I've somehow missed. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:25, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Would you make the necessary changes to Cameron's article then? Regards. MSincccc (talk) 19:45, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Since the Earthshot Prize article has not attracted any users to come and review it, would you mind giving it a try? Again, I am not pestering you but seeking advice. I can wait though;time is after all not an issue. I am patient enough. Just wanted a definite response from you. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 19:01, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

If it's not picked up by around the end of the month I'll have a look. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 19:41, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Should I remove the aforementioned paragraph from Cameron's article? Regards MSincccc (talk) 14:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Do what you want. I would. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 15:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Could you please find a citation to support Tom Peck, who writes for The Times, review for Ten Years to Save the West? Regards MSincccc (talk) 15:36, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty A similar assessment was given by Tom Peck in The Times, who said Truss "appears psychiatrically incapable" of learning from her own experiences. This sentence is presently uncited. Could you please locate a credible source to substantiate this statement as I could not find it in any of Puck's recent articles for The Times? Regards MSincccc (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Can you please guide me on how to conduct a source-to-article prose spot check for the article Aza Arnold, considering that most of the references are book sources? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 07:34, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Ask the nominator to give a quote from the sources for a few of the refs against the prose (for an article of that length 5–7-ish should be about enough). Tim O'Doherty (talk) 17:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for that, @Tim O'Doherty. Regarding Prince William's recent two-day overnight trip to Cornwall, which began today, do you think it's notable enough to include under the "Prince of Wales" section of his article, or should it be left out like most other engagements? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this, as I don't want to add unnecessary content to his article. Regards, and please let me know soon. MSincccc (talk) 12:04, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Probably not. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 12:42, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Removing them would be against guidelines per WP:REDYES and MOS:REDLINKS, which recommend removing them only in cases of clear non-notability or significant overlinking. This was the nominator's reply to my suggestion of having the two red links in article prose removed. Please do let me know if it works as I am relatively less experienced and have always removed any red links that I spotted. Rewrite in British English without changing the meaning. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 13:50, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

The nominator is correct. Red links are only a bad thing if there's no chance the article will ever be created. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 14:45, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Could you please confirm whether the images used in the article Aza Arnold are considered usable? Your response would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, I am awaiting your reply to my previous message. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 18:35, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tim O'Doherty Your suggestions for Cameron's article would be highly appreciated and valued. Ultimately, I'll be the one making the changes; you simply need to provide guidance. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 19:21, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Mentioned in a blog

Appear now to be mentioned in a radio blog where I'm generously described as "openly acting in bad faith, ... demand[ing] citations for events that had never happened, in order to justify the bias accusations, and ... making arguments and accusations based on false premises", as well as my username being proof that I am "perhaps [an] Ulster Unionist, which may explain their interest, their bias and lack of detailed knowledge". LOL. Neither are true: some great, well-researched, rigorous journalism there. Of course the blog itself isn't the model of neutrality that it thinks Wikipedia should be (and is attacking it for not being). Still, worth reading for a chuckle.
