User talk:Gen. Quon/Archive 8

May 2022
Your user page says that you have an interest in music and popular culture. I'm presently considering to nominate the article for the music group BTS for FAC, which is currently at GA level, and wanted to ask if you might be interested in possibly doing a co-nomination for FAC. Any interest? ErnestKrause (talk) 15:39, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello and thanks for reaching out. Normally, I'd be down, but I'm a bit swamped with work and my dissertation at the moment, and I am hesitant to commit to a FAC, given the amount of work needed. That said, I'm more than happy to help out here and there; if there are any sections that you'd like trimmed down/copy-edited, or any sources you need verified or located, just let me know!--Gen. Quon[Talk](I'm studying Wikipedia!) 18:36, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting back. There are probably several of the subsections in the larger Career section which could use copy edits and enhancements for the article to move from its successful GAN to upgrade at FAC. Pick the ones you feel could use the most assistance if you can do some of them. Cheers. ErnestKrause (talk) 22:21, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Those edits from today which you did at BTS look good and the editors there seem pleased to see them. I'm supporting more edits like these when you have some time for them. ErnestKrause (talk) 19:14, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * , that's great to hear! I meant to do a bit more, but got distracted, haha. I'll try to jump back in soon.--Gen. Quon[Talk](I'm studying Wikipedia!) 19:29, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

I had a quick question. I'm going through the BTS article, and in the second section, it reads: "The album served as a narrative extension of the 'school trilogy' and a transition into their next series." I think I know what this means (that is, lyrically, it was similar to their EP series, but also served as a springboard for future releases), but I wanted to check. Perhaps this could be made a little bit clearer? Also, I noticed that the Skool Luv Affair EP was released in Jan. 2014, but the sourcing suggests it was Feb. I switched it to the latter, but wanted to check.--Gen. Quon[Talk](I'm studying Wikipedia!) 14:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The album you mention is Dark & Wild and in its Wikipedia Composition section gives part of the explanation as, "The album served as a narrative extension of the "school trilogy" and a transition into their next series. Musically, the album fused the grungy electric guitar sounds of rock within the framework of hip-hop and continued to expand their sound towards R&B. The central theme of the album's lyrics focused on expressing the sentiments of maturing, youthful desires, and impatience for romance." The release order of the parts of the next trilogy which followed Dark & Wild is in the BTS section following the section you just mentioned. I think adding clarity in Wikipedia articles is a benefit and think it is a good idea to go in the direction of further clarity. Hope that's useful. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:37, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Those were nice edits again and everyone at the article seems pleased to see them. It looks like more edits from you when time allows would be welcome by the editors there. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:10, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Excellent! I'll try to get more edits in soon.--Gen. Quon[Talk](I'm studying Wikipedia!) 13:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I've finally put in a nomination for FAC for the BTS article and was wondering if you might consider adding some comments at FAC based on your reading of the article. Recently, BTS visited at the White House to shake hands with Joe Biden when they represented their concerns about Anti-Asian hate crimes. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:36, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

The Rolling Stones pre-FAC peer review opened
Hello Gen. Quon! I see that you are listed at Mentoring for FAC. Would you be able to take a look at The Rolling Stones by any chance and provide feedback at Peer review/The Rolling Stones/archive2? I have some (read: done a couple) experience with FAC and am hoping to take that article through FAC following another GOCE copyedit and would appreciate any feedback or suggestions that would make the process easier.

Book
Hello from France and the French-speaking Wikipedia,

Just a quick message to let you know that I've loved your book. I've discovered some things (the author of the Five Pillars, the mailing list about Ayn Rand) and some papers! And I liked the chapter about becoming a critical editor.

I will read later the paper about Britannica and gender gap, but I believe that its conclusion is not true or not any more: "Wikipedia articles on women are more likely to be missing than are articles on men relative to Britannica." With Wikidata, we can have an idea of the number of biographies of women on Britannica. And now the website of Britannica as a gender criteria, so we can do some stats. The gendergap of Britannica is around 10%.

Pyb en résidence (talk) 19:10, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reaching out and for the kind words. If that gender gap decrease is indeed true, that is great news, and I'm happy to be wrong, haha! In my defense, I wrote the book in 2021, and things take forever to get through the publication machine. Nevertheless, if I get a chance to revisit the work for a new edition, etc., I'll glad be sure to review those numbers and make changes as necessary. I suspect that a gender gap still very much exists, but like I said, it's good to hear we're now on par with Britannica.--<b style="background:#8B0000;color:#FFF;padding:1px;">Gen.
