User talk:FMSky/Archive 6

Saturday Night Wrist
Hey FMSky, just wanted to let you know that the user was correct in removing the genres and was not a vandal. Ultimate Guitar is inadmissible as a source unless the genre was described in the context of a staff review, as opposed to a sidebar (this was the case) or user review. I know you meant well, and I watch all of Deftones' album pages, so I wanted to kindly clear that up.  danny music editor  oops 03:00, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

DABRL
Hi, you made this revert citing MOS:DABRL. However, MOS:DABRL specifically states: "Red links should not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information. The example given in DABRL also goes on to state: "If "flibbygibby" is not mentioned in the noodle article, or there is no linked article at all, as in the toy example, it is not a valid entry". In this case, the red link (Settle the Score (band)) is the only link in the entry, and there is no link to an existing article (blue link), contrary to MOS:DABRL.

WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard
Hello, I see you reverted my edits at We Are Chaos again due to this source's presence under the reliable sources listed at WikiProject Albums/Sources. I wanted to let you know that I have just started a discussion here questioning whether or not Sputnikmusic is a reliable source, if you would like to make any arguments for or against its use going forward. JeffSpaceman (talk) 20:47, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It literally says it is reliable https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Sources --FMSky (talk) 21:52, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I know that, and I am questioning its validity at the link I have provided. It is a self-published source that hosts a lot of user-generated content, so I don't see why it holds this status, which is exactly why I have opened up discussion here. If you have anything to argue for its continued inclusion, feel free to comment there. JeffSpaceman (talk) 21:56, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Candace Owens
Hello FMSky. I moved the info on Candace Owens blog back up to the "Degree180 and anti-conservative blog" section (she did not write the article about Trump's penis which seems to be implied in the language used) and added some language to the "Donald Trump" section noting her shift in attitude. I also restored the copy of the actual article which is useful. Per the archives, there is not record she wrote any articles about Trump.Patapsco913 (talk) 11:42, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Paid placement blog/magazine
Saw your re-addition of the "vents" blog/"magazine"/whatever again. Prior discussions are here: 2016, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_398#Are_Daily_Magzines,_The_American_Mail,_and_Vents_Magazine_reliable? February of this year] and this month. Each evaluation was clearly that it is not reliable. This site is almost exclusively paid placement and spam, there are hundreds of ads on the usual sites for blackhat placement, and there is absolutely no indication of competent editorial control or disclosure of advertorials. Utter spam like this is common; I've removed the source hundreds of times. If you're seeing something that was missed by everyone else, let me know and we can start another conversation at WP:RSN with the alternate view. Sam Kuru (talk) 01:21, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

RFC sig
Hi FMSky. I think you need to add a signature to the RFC proposal at Talk:What Is a Woman?. The bot that copies it over to the central listings tries to grab everything before the first sig, and right now it's including your !vote.

MrBeast AI upscale
Replacement here wasn't a question of whether I'm a fan of AI upscaling, there was a small but strongly expressed consensus to add AI upscaling software should generally not be used to increase the resolution or quality of an old or low-resolution image. Original historical images should always be used in place of AI upscaled versions. If an AI-upscaled image is used in an article, this fact should be noted in its caption. to MOS:IMAGES last month.

That might benefit from another iteration or exception or a wider discussion, but that's what the MOS is saying right now. Belbury (talk) 17:19, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

The Departed
Hi, how do you mean it sounded better before? It said approval rating of 91% before. Nowhere on the rotten tomatoes site is it given approval rating. It is called tomatometer, which is the percentage of critics who have given a positive review for the film. Also, the number of critics has risen now, check the site. Plus I have added the percentage of critics who have given the film a positive review on metacritic site, which was missing before. Cinephile4ever 14:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Your Understanding of WP:FOX
Hey, I saw your edit to the Tim Ballard article and wanted to provide you with a brief correction on your understanding of WP:FOX - refer to Note r. which states that "Local Fox affiliates are considered distinct from Fox News, and are covered by WP:NEWSORG." THese local affiliate stations are generally unbiased in their reporting and are distinct from the national network. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 16:01, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Cont. deletion of Baylor's Title IX exemption to discriminate against its LGBTQ+ students
The exemption has been reported by multiple outlets and is national news, even leading members of Congress to write official correspondence to DOE themselves to demand an investigation of the exemption approval. I re-entered the information into the page with the news article cited like you asked. Let me know what else you need. This is not only national news with enormous implications for Title IX law and application across the country, but it's confirmed in media and in official correspondence from Baylor U President LL on the Department of Education OCR website.

Yes, it's a terrible look for Baylor, but they filed the exemption request and got it approved, so it should go on the page because it is seriously important and very official -- on the federal govt's website for perpetuity (will not be removed even upon Baylor request if they request DOE to revoke the exemption).

Template on James Kinsella
Hey, FMSKY, I just noticed that you placed a warning about the James Kinsella entry, suggesting that James Kinsella may have paid to have it made. I am James Kinsella, and I can tell you that I did not. If you have any question or would like to speak with me directly, please let me know the best way to contact you. If it is through this Talk page, that’s fine; I will check back.

I have a long career, from journalism to business, and I’ve created some things I’m proud of, including MSNBC. But I don’t need publicity and would not pay for it, and certainly not for an entry in Wikipedia, which I use frequently exactly because it IS a respected source of objective facts.

Although I use Wikipedia frequently, I don’t know anything about editing content on it or responding to issues such as the one I am addressing now. I would very much appreciate your help in understanding how to proceed.

Thank you and I look forward to resolving the issue. 2601:600:9E80:E1D0:1C40:3734:F51A:2D7 (talk) 18:35, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

FIFA's role in FIFA Ballon d'Or
Hello FMSky, I noticed that you reverted my edits (e.g. 1189704054) on the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or and 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or pages without providing a reason. Could you please clarify why? Since the FIFA Ballon d'Or is a joint effort between FIFA and France Football, shouldn't the "main" hyperlink direct to the FIFA Ballon d'Or page rather than just the Ballon d'Or page for greater accuracy? Additionally, it seems odd that the "previous" link on the The Best FIFA Football Awards 2016 page is 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or, yet there is no corresponding "next" link to the The Best FIFA Football Awards 2016 on the 2015 page. This omission appears to diminish FIFA's role in the award. I would appreciate your insights on this. Thank you. GbusLlb (talk) 07:00, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I was mainly confused why you added "5th FIFA Player of the Year" in the infobox. Thats a different award, why would this be in the infobox? --FMSky (talk) 15:10, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The confusion arises from the winner's 4th FIFA Ballon d'Or being labeled as his "5th award" in the infobox. A clearer representation might be to display "5th Ballon d'Or". However, this approach seems to underplay FIFA's role in the award, since it's a collaborative effort between FIFA and France Football. Initially, I added "5th FIFA's top player award" to the infobox to address this.
 * Later, I realized that using "FIFA Player of the Year" might be more straightforward. However, maybe it could be confused with "FIFA World Player of the Year". To resolve this, I'm considering creating a new page that summarizes FIFA's top player awards, rather than leaving it as a redirect page.
 * What are your thoughts? Should we use "4th FIFA Ballon d'Or" or "5th Ballon d'Or" & "5th FIFA Player of the Year" in the infobox? GbusLlb (talk) 10:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Neither, i think "5th award" or "5th ballon dor" is perfectly sufficient for the infobox. its too confusing otherwise. maybe this can be discussed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football as well --FMSky (talk) 05:51, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Clint Eastwood Page Image Discussion
Hello User:FMSky,

I've started a discussion on the talk page of the Clint Eastwood article regarding the choice of the infobox image. I recently replaced the infobox image with a 1961 publicity photo from 'Rawhide', reflecting his early career, which I believe aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines for biographical articles ([WP:MOSBIO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Biographies)). This iconic image from his notable early work might better adhere to the guidelines for image relevance as per Wikipedia's Image Use Policy ([WP:IUP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy)).

I respect the value of having a more recent photo, but I'd argue that an iconic image can sometimes be more representative, especially for a public figure whose early career had a significant impact on their legacy. This perspective aligns with Wikipedia's No Original Research policy ([WP:NOR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research)), as it's based on Eastwood's notable history in the entertainment industry.

Your input is essential to reach a consensus ([WP:CONSENSUS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus)) on this matter. The discussion is taking place here: Discussion on Infobox Image for Clint Eastwood Page. Looking forward to your thoughts and participation in this first step informal course of action to resolve.

Do we have any personal issue?
For few days I noticed you are reverting my edits on various pages without understanding the changes and you are not giving any proper explanation. If you want to add or remove any specific topic then do it. But stop reverting my legal edits. I am trying to make Wikipedia better because I love it from the bottom of my heart. So, please don't break my heart. By the way, it seems you and I have the same interest of articles. Maybe we can discuss with each other and work together to make Wikipedia better. Thank you for understanding. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 20:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * the problem is that you keep removing loads of pictures from articles without explanation. You might want to look at your talk page where this very issue has been explained to you

Brandon Novak: am I missing something?
On the Brandon Novak article, I reverted a birthdate as unsourced ; I clarified in the edit summary "the source makes no mention at all of what year he was born in". So I wondered if I'm missing something. (1) I removed the "1977" saying unsourced, and moving the source given into a spot in the article body. (2) After you reverted that, pointing out rightly that it was literally sourced (d'oh!), I repeated the edit with the clarification. I didn't want to throw away a source, even though it did not support the birth year, so I moved it to support other content in the body that it could support. The supporting source is fairly lengthy, and I read it again, but found no mention of a year in 1970's. To find the birth year, is it a matter of doing some math among the varous timelines reported on? Or was there another reason the birth year should be in there? Or has my editing there just been confusing. Thanks. signed, Willondon (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * The article says he was 40 as of 10 December 2018, so I used the template "age as of date" in the infobox FMSky (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Ah. I see. Thanks.  signed, Willondon (talk)  17:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * But actually i just realized that this literally puts his bd at 10 dec 1978 so the template isnt even needed --FMSky (talk) 17:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Isis
Objection. I cited multiple sources to put progressive metal there. That was me who put them there in the first place. How is that insufficient? I understand we're not to put everything in there at risk of overcrowding, but there was extra support offered. I'd like a more thorough discussion than "only most common genres for the infobox", because, well, I'd argue that it is.  danny music editor  oops 04:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Alright, I just feel they are almost exclusively described as post-metal, and that progressive metal and the others cited (metalcore, wtf?) are needlessly missleading, especially since they're just thrown in without any context --FMSky (talk) 04:35, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Though it matters not in the end, you wouldn't agree that Isis' sound owes a debt to Tool, groundbreakers in progressive rock and progressive metal? In any case, I'm glad we could come to a resolution.  danny music editor  oops 04:42, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

WP:FALSETITLE
Hello, I see you have reverted my edits to Dirt (Alice in Chains album). Would it be alright if the definite articles get added back in without the commas? I think a lot of people would say, "Do you know the singer Layne Staley?," not, "Do you know singer Layne Staley?" To me, it's ordinary English. But what's your issue with this wording? Please let me know, I would like to hear your thoughts before I make any further edits of that sort to the page. JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:14, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Tbh, I think it sounds incredibly stupid and unnatural, and I dont think someone would talk like this in real life: "He admired the singer Layne Staley's lyrics and voice, and the lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell's guitar riffs." -- as opposed to "He admired vocalist Layne Staley's lyrics and voice and lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell's guitar riffs" --FMSky (talk) 07:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I disagree, to me it's perfectly normal, natural English -- a lot of people in real life would say, "The singer Layne Staley/the guitarist Jerry Cantrell," not, "Singer Layne Staley/guitarist Jerry Cantrell." This is why I add definite articles, because it is standard English. It's removing the definite article that sounds clunky, as it is a type of journalese known as a false title.
 * I know it says this on the page I linked in the subject line, but do these sentences that use the definite article feel stupid or unnatural to you? And if so, why?:
 * The dog, Rex, was a golden retriever. The sister, Jessica, arrived by car. The newest restaurant, the Golden Duck, opened last year. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:43, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Well yes it depends obviously, in these cases it sounds perfectly normal. In the ones I mentioned though it comes across as awkward. Imo these changes would have to be evaluated on a case by case basis FMSky (talk) 00:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, I have removed the descriptions of Staley and Cantrell from that section of the article, due to the fact that it points out that Jerden admired Staley's lyrics and voice and Cantrell's guitar riffs. Personally, I think that their roles in the band should not have to be pointed out when they are explained immediately afterwards -- "He admired the vocalist's lyrics and voice and the lead guitarist's guitar riffs" seems kind of redundant, when it could just be written as, "He admired Staley's lyrics and voice and Cantrell's guitar riffs." To me, that sentence works better. But how do you feel? I wanted to bring this here as we are discussing the article in question. JeffSpaceman (talk) 02:54, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes i agree, that definitely seems like a sensible change --FMSky (talk) 04:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Photo ID?
When you uploaded this photo, on what basis did you judge that it was actually Obrecht and not one of the other people mentioned on the Alchetron page? Someone has since changed the caption in the article to indicate that it's a photo of Obrecht's assistant. DS (talk) 01:37, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I've removed the file from the page and tagged it for deletion since it isn't clear if its really him --FMSky (talk) 13:09, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Yitzchak Mirilashvili
Hello. Would you be willing to look at the pending edit request on Yitzchak Mirilashvili's Talk page? The language of the Philanthropy section, specifically the first paragraph of that section, includes excessive detail most of which has nothing to do with Mirilashvili himself. Furthermore, the language is not-NPOV (suggesting that making charitable donations is a crime), and the resolution of the investigation- that Mirilashvili was found to have done nothing wrong- is not included. I have posted my suggested language on the Talk page. I'd be grateful for your time and assistance in implementing these changes. Thank you, January2424 (talk) 13:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Dirt (Alice in Chains album)
Sorry about removing the false titles, I admit I shouldn't have per WP:STATUSQUO. I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. I will state here though that I have changed "5x" to "quintuple," and removed Koontz's occupation (as well as an unnecessary comma), due to the fact that I find "quintuple" to be more encyclopedic than the abbreviated "5x," while the description of Koontz as a horror novelist is unnecessary (the fact that he is an author is established by the fact that it mentions Staley was reading the book -- what kind of an author Koontz is and what genre he writes within is unnecessary to the article as a whole, especially when the link to Koontz's article is right there to verify this).

Do you believe these two changes are alright? I'll refrain from adding "the," since I understand your reasoning, but are you OK with these? JeffSpaceman (talk) 23:03, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Undid revision on Mimi Mariani
What's up. I undid your revision that changed the short description of Mimi Mariani, as I felt that the information you deleted was essential-enough to be included in the short description. Plus, with it included, it's still pretty short, so that would fit and look nice in the shortness of the short description.

If you disagree, tell me, and we can come to a consensus. Coulomb1 (talk) 15:44, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Mathcore
The edit you made on the article about mathcore needs to be undone because you took out genres such as hardcore punk, avant-garde metal, and replaced them with industrial and death metal. You also put that the genre was coming from post-hardcore which is just not true. Mathcore is a direct offshoot of metalcore and its #1 stylistic origin, not post-hardcore. That being said, mathcore is not influenced primarily by post-hardcore. Death metal makes no sense whatsoever. Your source is unreliable. Figurila (talk) 00:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * the edits were sourced. Go ahead and change it if you can find a better source.
 * I've reverted it for now but the article isn't adequately sourced rn
 * Sorry if I came off a bit rough with that, I just couldn’t view the source on my device for some reason, so I thought it just was some biased edit hence why I made the talk page post calling the site unreliable. I can find the correct sources for the metalcore genres. Sorry abt that! Figurila (talk) 01:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Atomic Heart
I don't mind at all that you reverted my edit there. I did what I did because it's been tagged. You reverted my edit because you think it's not good enough, and you may well be right. But people are complaining. They don't think the article is good enough as it is, so do better than just reverting my edit. Do better than I did. Otherwise it just ends up in the backlog...

You changed the en dashes to hyphens in that article. Perhaps it was a good-faith edit, but the en dash is useful here due to it being a compound modifier. Electricmaster (talk) 08:56, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
