This is to let you know that the The Good Terrorist article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 8 February 2017. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Today's featured article/February 8, 2017. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:05, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for selecting this article for TFA. The summary looks fine, but perhaps there should be a (pictured) after "Doris Lessing" and the image captioned with "Doris Lessing". —Bruce1eeundefined 17:48, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, the article summary will be trimmed a little more to around 1100+/-100 characters, you don't have to do that, but you can get involved if you wish. Although there is a caption in the code, it isn't displayed at TFA Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. —Bruce1eeundefined 21:18, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for covering the book "concerning a naïve woman who moves in with a group of radicals in London, and is drawn into their terrorist activities"! Remember DYK days, fondly, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:13, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * My pleasure Gerda, I enjoyed working on it. I haven't been active in DYK for a while now – maybe I'll revist it again soon. —Bruce1eeundefined 10:34, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Featured article candidates/Acne vulgaris/archive2
While I did not add additional comments since January 2017, I had been following the Acne FAC. I think it could be a FA someday, but still needs significant work. As I am somewhat semi-retired from Wikipedia, next time it goes up for a FAC, should you think of me, please email me and I will post a review again. Thank you! (just fyi: I am putting a similar note on a few user pages) --My Core Competency is Competency (talk) 13:50, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * My involvement in that FAC was minimal, and then only as a non-medical layreader. But I'll keep you in mind should the article be renominated. Thanks. —Bruce1eeundefined 14:19, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * One of the challenges of facilitating EotW is making sure we have an editor in the Que for the following week. When we run short, I start to wander around WP looking for a likely candidate by using a very random but time tested method of discoverychance. But chance often leads to very worthy and deserving people to nominate. Bruce1ee, a regular and consistent contributor since the very beginning of WP, is a fine and worthy discovery. With 70K in edits with 2/3rds to article mainspace and 100% usage of the edit summary and almost 80 DYK contributions, he displays a true workmanlike demeanor. Reading his talk page archives show an editor that is congenial and helpful to all that have visited his talk page over the years. A WikiGnome he has been the key author on dozens of articles about bands, musicians, albums, songs, literary authors and their works, etc. He has been editing and refining and collaborating on a Featured Article, Burger's Daughter, since it was created in 2010. Bruce1ee is a great example for all Wikipedia editors, old and new.

You can copy the following text to your user page to display a user box proclaiming your selection as Editor of the Week: Thanks again for your efforts! Lepricavark (talk) 19:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
 * thank you for considering me, I really appreciate it. —Bruce1eeundefined 07:16, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

On this day, 12 years ago...
Also, congratulations on receiving the Editor of the Week award! Thanks for all that you do. Warm regards, Mz7 (talk) 04:01, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. So I've been at it for 12 years! – but hey, I've enjoyed it. —Bruce1eeundefined 07:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Wondering about revert in requested articles/music/performers
I don’t understand the reason for this revision:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music/Performers,_bands_and_songwriters&oldid=prev&diff=773040097

An internet search for “Neil Larson keyboard” shows many entries. Is it because I didn’t provide links for some of these in the requested articles entry?

—- Doug — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dough34 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 1 April 2017 UTC (UTC)


 * Hi Doug, yes, please can you provide links to sources independent of the musician. This is to demonstrate the subject's notability, and assist potential article creators. All you gave was the artist's homepage. Thanks. —Bruce1eeundefined 17:44, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

FAC request
Hello Bruce1ee,

When you get the chance, could you give a prose review for my FAC of Naruto? If you can't, please reply. Thanks. -- 1989 17:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am a little busy in real life at the moment, but when I get a chance I'll have a look. My knowledge of Japanese manga is effectively zero, so I'm not sure whether I'm the best person to be reviewing this. —Bruce1eeundefined 07:08, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Clarification
Hi Bruce! Can you please let me know why you reverted my request for creation of Zifo RnD Solutions page? Ayyappan Ramachandran (talk) 07:15, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I take it you're referring to this edit. You added your request to the company article request header page. You need to add it to the appropriate subpage, as described on the header page. So your request for Zifo RnD Solutions should be added to this page. —Bruce1eeundefined 07:29, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Walkaway (Cory Doctorow novel)
Hi Bruce, I noticed that you contributed to Homeland by Cory Doctorow. Just to let you know, if you're interested, that I've created a very basic stub article for Cory's new book, Walkaway. It needs a lot of work and TLC. Regards,  Esowteric + Talk  15:29, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that – it's a good start! I haven't read Walkaway yet, but when I get a chance (quite a lot on my plate at the moment), I'll have a look at it. —Bruce1eeundefined 15:53, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Cheers, Bruce.  Esowteric + Talk  15:55, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

The Problem of Removing Content
Hi,Brucelee.I am so sorry to bother you.I need to remove the existing content of Gavriel Salvendy on wikipedia,because there are some problems with the content I wrote.Now,I need to have a detailed communication with Gavriel Salvendy before I can upload the contents of Gavriel Salvendy again.Please tell me what should I do if I want to remove this content from pages on Wikipedia.Vicjiavic (talk) 13:41, 7 June 2017 (UTC)Vicjiavic
 * As you created Gavriel Salvendy and are the principal editor, I'll put an author requested speedy deletion tag on the article. If your request is upheld, an admin will delete it. —Bruce1eeundefined 15:47, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Great Fire of London

 * Hello, read WP:EPON: Articles with an eponymous category may be categorized in the broader categories that would be present if there were no eponymous category (e.g. the article France appears in both Category:France and Category:Western Europe, even though the latter category is the parent of the former category). Keep both the eponymous category and the main article in the parent category. This is used in Category:Western Europe to allow that region's country articles to be navigated together. In all disasters categorytree, EPON rule is used. 185.59.158.22 (talk) 17:38, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Point taken – I've changed Category:Fires in England to Category:Fires in London, which is a better fit. —Bruce1eeundefined 17:46, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Revert on Ray Phiri
But Ray was a heavy smoker. I knew him personally, he was eating organic food but a chain smoker, in fact that picture in his page I took it while with the band on tour! I don't understand why in articles of musicians such as Cesária Évora we can highlight that they had a penchant for smoking and drinking while with others like Bra Ray we can't, just because such information generate a negative halo around the them? Bobby shabangu talk 08:50, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It's not that we can't mention such things, it's that such terms as "heavy smoker" are negative statements, and have to be supported by reliable sources. My revert edit summary said "Not in the quoted sources". Find a reliable source that says Ray was a heavy smoker, and you're free to add it to the article. —Bruce1eeundefined 10:39, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Revert
Ha, I thought I was rolling back this one, though now I don't quite see what the point of it would be. We need some editors that read Serbo-Croatian and write English. Drmies (talk) 15:53, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Translation
Concerning your recent request, this is what I came up with:

« Browsing the assembly of improvisers who had gathered on May 30th, 1992 in Bologna for Angelica (the glorious festival then at its second edition), one would never fancy they would come across such a substantially amorphous product, lacking actual creative outlets and the suitable ability to keep the listener's interest alive.

However, it is the document's the importance and merit to have brought to the spotlight, for instance, a relevant (though not quite known, on balance) artist like Lindsay Cooper, who died in 2013 at the age of just over sixty; and to have unearthed such a remote, “historical” we might even say, impromptu performance, to the conscience, or rather to the more than ever clear obviousness that, on this subject, plenty of things have stayed more or less unchanged from what they were twenty-four years ago (as proved by a number of present-day recordings by Leo, and not just those).

Within not even forty minutes (applause included) of CD, a bit too little happens, and since the best seems to come in any way during the first half (particularly in the third, tripartite however short, track, which is well led), even such a finite length ends up appearing somewhat excessive. Who almost seems to notice this is Gianni Gebbia, who in the very conclusion suggests in this sort of manifesto of the “non-belligerent (almost gentle, instead) antigracefulness” a vaguely folksy cadence to the soprano, in what nearly seems a crooked “after-a-lot-of-things” march, petering in the audience's still wholehearted and, we would say, true blue cheers. »

I did my very best to render such articulated syntax and vocabulary; I really hope the result is clear and fits what you were looking for. Do not be afraid to ask me for any further explanations. :D   イヴァン スクルージ 九十八 （会話） 17:34, 17 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for going out of your way to do this translation for me. It's a great help and I really appreciate it. Thank you. —Bruce1eeundefined 20:36, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
