Stranded encyclopedias
Still remembering your 2012 Wikimania presentation on "Almost Wikipedia", perhaps you are interested in this conference in September in Stockholm, Sweden, on failed or stranded encyclopedias 1600-2000. I'm not among the organizers, I just saw this call for papers. --LA2 (talk) 10:57, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Jim Walden (Lawyer)
Hi Mako,

Thanks very much for your notes regarding the edits to the biography page about Jim Walden. Apologies for any edits that were to subjective. I do think that there's still much detail, informational value, integrity and abundant factual accuracy and citations that can be retained after a skillful edit to remove the subjective things.

Would you be able to advise on the best way to proceed?

Also, I apologize but I can't figure out how to include the text to be reviewed by you in a "subpage of the user page" as you suggest. Could you let me know how to do this?

Many thanks, and again I'm truly grateful for your offer to help to make the edits to the page as a neutral editor.

Accepting your kind offer to help with Jim Walden's
Hi Benjamin,

I'd like to accept your very kind offer for you to review the edits I'd like to suggest to Jim Walden's page, here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Walden_(lawyer)

I made some edits before and you called my attention to how they need to be amended, so I'm grateful for that! I have followed your instructions and made the suggested edits available to you on a subpage of my new user page. I also edited the changes to now make them conform, I hope, with Wikipedia guidelines. Here is the text in my sandbox.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:J-Pac-brooklyn/sandbox

If you could please have a look, I think you'll find that it's very carefully considered, and cited, and that the rampant peacocking and puffery you mentioned before has been eliminated.

I'm really grateful for your offer to help and am hoping you might have some time in the coming days to have a look. In think it culls a lot from the old page but is much better organized and written from a fact-driven journalistic perspective.

Also, I think I need to delete the user account Walden, Macht, Haran. Can you advise me on when to do that? I don't want any text or reference links that may be needed to be lost so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Best regards,

Julia

Accepting your kind offer to help with Jim Walden's Page
Hi Benjamin,

About a month ago you reviewed edits to Jim Walden's page and reverted to an earlier version citing issues with the text. You offered to help review and incorporate new edits appropriately so I was hoping I could take you up on that very kind offer! You sent this message below suggesting I leave a message on your talk page so here goes.


 * I'm happy to help with this if you want to start working on the content that I removed. Please just leave a message on my talk page. I hope this isn't to disappointing. Let me know if I can help! —mako๛ 06:12, 4 May 2019 (UTC)"

I included the suggested edits for your review on a subpage in my sandbox. Could you have a look and let me know if these edits, which I'm confident are very accurate, could be updated to Walden's page with any edits you feel necessary. I'd truly appreciate the help. Thanks so much!

 * Thanks for the ping, Julia! I was totally offline for the last couple weeks and I'm currently on a work trip and I'm not sure I'll be able to get this before the weekend after next. I've added it to my list though and I won't forget! — m a k o ๛  00:11, 11 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Mako! Weekend after next is great. Thanks very much for your help with this, really appreciate it! If there's anything I can clarify on sources, citations, etc. please just let me know.

Hi Mako,

Just wanted to see if you could have a look at editing the article on Jim Walden to update his page. Another editor looked but didn't make changes and asked me to do so. Sorry to chase but any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Mako: I've been really conscientiously trying to get suggested changes and edits reviewed by editors since May of this year. It's been over 6 months and I would be really grateful if you could have a look at the resubmitted draft which incorporates literally all of the edits and suggestions you and another editor subsequently made. Could you please have a look and see if you can submit the changes to the Jim Walden page? The draft is in my SANDBOX here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:J-Pac-brooklyn/sandbox&redirect=no — Preceding unsigned comment added by J-Pac-brooklyn (talk • contribs) 19:42, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Jim Walden's page
Hi Benjamin,

This is Julia, J-Pac brooklyn, writing to ask for your help in finalizing the updates too Jim Walden's page. I have followed all the instructions I was given by you and another editor and it still seems to be in a holding pattern. I resubmitted the changes but haven't seen or heard any activity in a review or updates to the real page for Jim Walden. I would be super grateful for any guidance or advice you could give about how to update the page appropriately as I first made the edits in March. Here is the draft that I'm hoping someone can review and approve. Again, I'm happy to follow any instructions or guidance you can give. Many thanks.

violetzq - Edited article based on feedbacks
Hi!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I have edited my article "Code Kunst" based on them. I added references for the nominated awards and other facts mentioned in the "life and career" section. I also combined the separated facts in this section and made them more coherent. I made most of the edits to the "Interview" section by changing it to trivia, and instead of listing random facts, I also tried combining them and make them more relevant. I added a "filmography" section that listed all the television he appeared on that I can find. I hope this looks better. --Violetzq (talk) 08:07, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
