John Pesek
Hi, I've nominated an article you worked on, John Pesek, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the "hook" for the article at Template talk:Did you know where you can improve it if you see fit. Regards,  howcheng  {chat} 16:30, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Welcome and a suggestion
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia, I see you've already been busy adding article which is great for everyone, especially since you do include links to your sources. There is one thing though, it's about the formatting of your citations, take a lot at Template:Cite web on the proper wikipedia format to use, or check out any of the FA or GA articles on WP:PW that'll show you how they're used and everything.

Just a pointer since we all got to learn somehow, some way so why not right away? If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask. MPJ-DK 15:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help on Gen Con. :) We recently tried to get that article to Good Article (GA) status, but it failed on lack of referencing, particularly in the "events" section. So keep up the good referencing work! BOZ (talk) 18:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

RPG designers
Thanks for the additions and hard work on those designer bios. :) BOZ (talk) 18:52, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Another thanks for your citations in Gen Con! If you're interested, you can check out WikiProject Role-Playing Games to find other users with similar interests. There is also a Dungeons & Dragons-specific project, if you're interested in that. Thanks again for all your help! -Drilnoth (talk) 22:23, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fist (UK band)


The article Fist (UK band) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not clear how this meets WP:BAND, lacks references to 3rd party reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 15:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Stars (Cher album)
Hi there. I have no opinion whether the album was released in April or May 1975, but whichever, please supply a reliable source. Best regards, and happy editing. --Muhandes (talk) 11:42, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

April 2011
Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to The Heat Is On (album). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Great work on the 1920s articles!

 * I wanted to say "Great work!" and "Thanks!" for your well done work on the month-by-month articles from January 1920 through December 1929. Years ago, I did the 1927 pages, and I'm glad to see that you've gone with the philosophy of citing to reliable sources, separating the interesting and relevant from the irrelevant, and writing in the past tense when documenting history.  Present tense is fine for headlines, but history was always written in the past tense.  Mandsford 02:11, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Ditto for the 1930s!

 * I don't know how you do it! As you've seen, I drew up the 1933 articles, but I see that you worked on all the other years on UserPages, and then created the pages from them.  Fantastic.  The one thing I've always wanted to see is that future editors can have a framework to post events upon when something new comes to light.  Mandsford 02:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

And 1940, 1941 and 1942

 * I'm improving 1966 now, and have gotten through September, and now on October 1966-- I did 1943 and 1946. Again, amazing how productive you are on these. I'm glad to see a historian handling the project.  Back in 2008, there was an attempt to nominate September 1900 for deletion, but the nomination was booed off the stage.  Now, there are so many of these, it's pretty well entrenched. Mandsford 02:23, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Page parameter
Hi, thanks for your recent edits. I should have let you know yesterday that when you add "p." to the page parameter in a citation template, it creates a CS1 error that someone else will have to fix (I've been following your edits and making the fixes). You only need to enter the page number(s), not "P." or "page". Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 04:14, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Publication dates
Is there any particular reason to think The New York Times is a good source for precise publication dates? Was the "Books Today" column published daily or weekly? Was it intended to be a daily summary of all the books published that day, or merely a summary of recently published books that might be of interest to Times readers? — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:21, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I checked against other sources for books that have well-documented publication dates, and they were always consistent. To Kill a Mockingbird, for example, appears in the July 11, 1960 edition of the column. Sometimes the column was called "Books Published Today" or "List of Books Published Today", and sometimes it was just called "Books Today" (as the July 11, 1960 column was titled) or "New Books". The column appeared regularly every weekday until sometime in the early '70s, when it appeared less and less frequently as a column titled "Recently Published Books" rose to replace it.


 * The Malcolm X autobiography is one of 32 books listed in the October 29, 1965 edition of the column. The column the day before had 28. And the lists included pulpy fantasy and sci-fi paperbacks the likes of which the Times seldom bothered to review unless the occasional guest reviewer in the Sunday Book Review section brought them up. So I would say the lists of books was pretty exhaustive. Cbj77 (talk) 23:27, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I tried to access the column in old copies of the Times, but they're not indexed and I find the nytimes.com "Times Machine" very difficult to navigate. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:22, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Unsourced editorializing and reliable sources
When writing a reception section, please be sure to avoid original research. This includes synthesis: using multiple sources to come to a conclusion that none of them individually reached. For example, you can't add 10 reviews to a reception, then summarize what the film's reception was ("Reviews were mixed"). Similarly, if you find 10 more reviews from a decade later, you can't write that the film has been critically reassessed. We need a source that says the original reception was mixed, and then we need a source that says the film was reassessed. I find this a bit limiting myself sometimes, but these are core policies of Wikipedia. We can't perform our own analysis; this is why we have review aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes. We can cite their analysis, and hope that they mention the film's reassessment, if there was one. Also, please be aware that not every site in the internet is a reliable source. Reliable sources need editorial control, a history of fact checking, and to be staffed by professional journalists. This means that self-published blogs, user-generated content, and the IMDb are not usuable. If in doubt, generally, you should stick to newspapers, magazines, and books from reputable publishers.

Rotten Tomatoes
I notice you add Reception details to older films which is great. I always like to see reviews from at least Roger Ebert or Variety magazine in a film article.

There have been many discussion and different opinions over the use of Rotten Tomatoes at WikiProject Film although few of them have been conclusive enough to result in changes to the WP:MOSFILM style guidelines. Some editors are reluctant to include Rotten Tomatoes in any articles from before 1998 when Rotten Tomatoes was created. They feel that the small number of reviews that have been collected in retrospect (or from later rereleases) can give a very skewed score (usually skewed more positive with hindsight). Personally I'm already very skeptical about review scores including Rotten Tomatoes, so I've no problem including them and leaving it to readers to interpret the numbers, but more importantly look at the reviews and decide if they might like the film anyway irrespective of the score it got. A reader might enjoy the film as an example of that genre even if no one thought it was a classic, and some films are so bad they're good.

There was a recent suggestion that editors should specify "As of" when the Rotten Tomatoes score was added in the article text, and there was some discussion about it. Some thought it was a good idea, others didn't think it was necessary. The reason I draw your attention to this particular discussion is because in some of your edits you have added Rotten Tomatoes to film articles using the wording "It currently holds a 99% approval rating" and I would urge you to avoid using the word "currently" entirely. The guidelines at WP:RELTIME explain further why it is not a good idea for an encyclopedia to use words such as "now", "recent", or "currently". As the discussion suggested you could say "As of" and specify the date if you really want, that's up to you, but I would ask that you please avoid using the phrase "currently". That's all, thanks. -- 109.76.159.225 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Presently
I notice you added a whole lot of reviews and Rotten Tomatoes to an old film article which is good. But I also noticed you used the phrase "The film presently holds an approval rating" which is not a good way to phrase things for an encyclopedia, since vague time based phrases such as "presently" or "currently" should be avoided. See WP:RELTIME for more information.

Some editors, think it is best to be very specific and include a date reference in the article text "As of August 2020" so you could do that if you like, but please avoid using "presently" or "currently". I don't include the date overtly in the text, I think including a date in the reference as you did in your edit is more than enough. Thanks. -- 109.79.82.126 (talk) 23:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Now I notice I brought a similar matter to your attention before above, only that time it was "currently". You didn't reply to or delete the earlier comment but I expect you have already taken note of WP:RELTIME and that this suggestion is already redundant. Thanks. -- 109.79.82.126 (talk) 23:17, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Month articles
CBJ77, I want to alert you that there's an editor, User:JamesLucas-A, who is on a campaign of some sort to remake all of the articles in the months of the 1920s category and other month articles that you had started and maintained, as in this example. If you encounter this type of makeover from this editor on one of your pages, please let me know. As far as I can tell, he's never contributed any research or writing to any of these; he edits other the work of other persons. I'm doing what I can to catch what's on my watchlist, and I have a feeling that your 1928 articles will be next. If you know of other regular contributors to this project, please let them know as well. Mandsford 18:59, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
