Improving the article
I wonder whether you, I or GRuban can copy and paste the material seen in User:GRuban/Ruby Tandoh. George Ho (talk) 19:35, 25 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think what's there is definitely worth copying here, if we can figure out how to do it without screwing up the page history. Merges aren't a strong suit for me. Valereee (talk) 20:16, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Er - wait. Are you saying that you agree that Ruby Tandoh deserves a standalone article based on the partial work I've done at User:GRuban/Ruby Tandoh? If so, absolutely, paste it in, or I will, we'll drop the list of sources on the talk page here, and we'll get to them eventually, WP:NODEADLINE. But if not, if you're still arguing for a merger into the list, then don't, because I would not want the article to be judged on only the partially complete draft, only when it is really done, which it isn't really yet. --GRuban (talk) 22:03, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm no longer arguing for the merger anymore, now with majority votes favoring the restoration. Also, I just gave up trying to revert back when further edits have been made. I'm now indecisive, but I hope I didn't make a mistake copying-and-pasting. I also redirected your draft, but you can undo it if you want. Here is the list of sources. George Ho (talk) 22:14, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you George! George solidarity forever! I never doubted you! Well maybe a little. Never! --GRuban (talk) 23:04, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Evening Standard questionable source
In Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know, User:SL93 is objecting to running this article on Did you know because of two "unreliable source?" tags, both about the Evening Standard. The Evening Standard is used in 3 places in the Featured article Elizabeth II, 4 places in the Good article London, 4 places in the Featured article Premier League, 1 place in the WP:BLP Featured article Mariah Carey, 1 place in the WP:BLP Featured article Taylor Swift, 2 places in the extremely important and high visibility article 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and that's just in the first 10 hits of Search:insource:standard.co.uk, so I think it is pretty clear it is generally treated as an acceptable source for many purposes. In these two specific cases there is no dispute that the events being cited to the Standard are exactly as the Standard described them. Could you be persuaded to remove the tag, please? You are getting a co-author credit for the DYK, precisely because of this sort of contribution! --GRuban (talk) 13:52, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Removed the "unreliable source" template from the article. I hope those two Evening Standard articles are reliable. George Ho (talk) 14:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

bloated conflicts section
and, I'm kind of in agreement with the IP that this section is extremely bloated. We don't have to mention every spat she's ever had with anyone anywhere. I think it could be trimmed back hard to only those episodes that actually are important. Valereee (talk) 14:33, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm gonna be honest, I don't know anything about this as I was just checking Recent Changes for potential vandalism which the edits in question aren't and I think are in good faith (I forgot to mark as such). I was just saying the IP should check the Talk page before making such a large edit. But I'm gonna say that I agree with you. Fanfanboy (talk) 15:39, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
