Assessment for Mets project
Hey, Benjamin, if you get a chance to take a look at my proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York Mets/Assessment on how to assess pages for the Mets project. I pinged you a month ago. Would care to hear your opinion on that matter. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 02:08, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

RAGSPT videos
I thought of a way to link to the RAGSPT videos without creating promo/spam or over-weighting this amateur company too much: See this. BTW, you could link either their YouTube channel or your Commons copies at SavoyNet and also Facebook pages such as the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Facebook, which has thousands of members.

I see that you have linked some foreign-language G&S productions on SavoyNet. This made me wonder if you have sources that would provide the information to allow you to add some concise information about the most important professional productions of G&S in non-English-speaking countries (and/or in foreign languages) to the Translations (Adaptations) section of the Gilbert and Sullivan article? All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:46, 20 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks. On the subject of translations of the G&S operas: I don't have a source with complete information on this, but was compiling some information myself to (if I have the time) make a semi-comprehensive webpage on it (although could I cite my own compilation of sources?). I am aware of many German-language translations going back to the 19th century, though I myself am better able to search the internet in French and Hungarian (based on familiarity) than anything else. I'm also aware of a published Spanish Pinafore from the 19th century, professional Spanish, French, Swedish, Catalan and Japanese Mikado productions, and some more stuff... but I would need to actually sort through all of those sources. I have some good information on the history of professional productions in Hungary in the 1960s-1990s, though. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 16:55, 20 June 2022 (UTC)


 * We can't cite your webpage, since it wouldn't be a WP:RS, but we can cite any reliable sources that you find. Any discussion that we add about foreign language productions should be balanced to emphasize the most important historical productions.  See WP:BALASP.  Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:31, 20 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi. Any progress on the professional foreign productions summary? All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:12, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, I have not really gotten around to it. But I know that some people are writing articles about it for the W. S. Gilbert Society journal. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 16:14, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
 * When that happens, please let me know, and we can cite that as a starting point. -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:17, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Nick Mahrley moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Nick Mahrley, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
