Willett Advisors
Hi Grand'mere Eugene. I'm editing on behalf of the investment firm Willett Advisors and am hoping that, as a member of WP:COMPANIES, you might be able to help settle a content disagreement at Talk:Willett Advisors. The main question is whether certain sentences in the article should be removed as WP:UNDUE and WP:COATRACK, or if the sentences should remain in place. Thanks in advance!

 * , please follow the instructions at How to list a dispute for a third opinion. Until you do that, my opinion would not settle the dispute, but could negate its eligibility for resolution by the 3rd party opinion process. — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 16:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I just posted at WP:3O, thank you. E at rattner (talk) 17:58, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello Grand&#39;mere Eugene:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Invitation

 * Hello, we need experienced volunteers.
 * New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines ; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
 * If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
 * If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
 * Cheers, and hope to see you around.

"when full dates appear elsewhere in article, years are sufficient to provide context"

That does mean mean that using full dates is incorrect. ALMOST ALL pages about individuals start with full dates here. We are given an OPTION, not being mandated a rule. Unless you can give me a better reason for not changing it, I intend to add the full dates back. Braintic (talk) 19:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)


 * , I've place a "citation needed" tag next to the birth date listed in the infobox, and you may have noticed the footnote (a) next to the date of death listed there. In general, because the lead paragraph is a brief, summarized overview of content in the article, the lead seldom has footnotes which would duplicate footnotes already present in the rest of the article. In this instance, the date-month-year format in the lead would need to be accompanied by the cn tag for the birth date, and the (a) footnote for the death date, resulting in too much clutter for the lead. If you can produce a source citation for the birth date, I would not object to your preferred listing of the full dates. Cheers! — Grand&#39;mere Eugene (talk) 20:52, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
