Terms "known professionally as" vs "better known by his/her stage name"
Why do think "known professionally as" is only allowed on that article. It doesn't. What's wrong with "better known by her stage name". SuperSuperSonic207 (talk) 22:24, 31 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Because “known professionally as” is the standard lead-in for most pages about artists that use a stage name. GraziePrego (talk) 01:15, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah right. Not every article on rappers needs that term. You should know that "known professionally as" is not necessarily the lead-in term at all. It can be "better known by his/her stage name". But no you think that's not the lead in term. It sometimes is, not just "known professionally as". Your not making any sense at all. SuperSuperSonic207 (talk) 03:54, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * What's the rationale for changing one to the other? You changed a series of articles from "known professionally as" to "better known by stage name", what's wrong with "known professionally as"? GraziePrego (talk) 00:36, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I see someone has already very eloquently communicated this to you:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:CAMERAwMUSTACHE#Megan_Thee_Stallion
 * @CAMERAwMUSTACHE is 100% correct, you are the one making the change from how it was before, and it does not flow as well as "known professionally as". GraziePrego (talk) 01:09, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * It just doesn't need to be said on every articles on rappers. That's all. And why do you think that "known professionally as" flows better than "better known by his/her stage name"? It doesn't necessarily. They both are similar terms and the latter isn't just about performing the stage. Can't you see I was trying to help you. BUT NO. WHENEVER I REWORD ANY RAPPER'S ARTICLES, YOUR ALWAYS GONNA DO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE YOU THINK IT'S NOT WORTH SAYING "BETTER KNOWN BY HIS/HER STAGE NAME", ONLY "KNOWN PROFESSIONALLY AS". WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DON'T GET IT. HOW DOES "KNOWN PROFESSIONALLY AS" FLOWS BETTER THAN "BETTER KNOWN BY HIS/HER STAGE NAME? IT DOSEN'T.SuperSuperSonic207 (talk) 16:15, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Ernest Pinkney
Grace I've updated Ernest Pinkney's page as his direct descendant. He's my great great grandad. All of the information we jave added has been verified as we've done research into his life and career. I added it for the benefit of Wikipedia Users. Please can I appeal your action to remove it all? Sefton 2023 (talk) 08:05, 8 September 2023 (UTC)


 * What you are describing is original research. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research.
 * Unless you can provide verifiable citations for all of your additions, the content cannot be added. Without those citations, it is impossible to tell whether the content you are adding is accurate. Anyone could claim to be his direct descendant.
 * If you do have proper citations for the content that you can cite within the wikipedia page, then adding it is fine. GraziePrego (talk) 08:08, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Grace, all of what I've added is referenced in the University of Wolverhampton article written by my dad who has a degree in history: https://www.wlv.ac.uk/research/research-centres/centre-for-historical-research/football-and-war-network/football-and-war-blog/2023/the-football-and-war-story-of-the-ernest-pinkney-family/ and in terms of Ernest Pinkney's date of death. I can send you a picture of his headstone with this on if you can use this as evidence? Sefton 2023 (talk) 08:12, 8 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Ive just uploaded the image of Ernie's headstone, so you can see his date of death. Its on Wikipedia Common - Ernest_Pinkney's_Headstone.jpg Sefton 2023 (talk) 08:16, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * If there's content supported by that article, then go ahead and re-add it. Make sure you cite the article when you do so though :)
 * The headstone could be added to the article in support of the death date too. GraziePrego (talk) 08:18, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Brill, thanks Grace I'll re-upload Sefton 2023 (talk) 08:19, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Date headers for user-talkpage messages
Thanks for vandal-patrolling! I see you have left some messages on user-talkpages when you undo their edits, which is nice. I think at least some of those editors will be confused by the date headers you used, as will other editors who come back to those talkpages if the vandalism continues. Dates like "11/9/23" are ambiguous, and definitely have the wrong meaning for most US readers. You mean "day/month/year" but others might read it as "month/day/year", or even "year/month/day". It's safer to write the month-name itself and the year as all four digits. DMacks (talk) 04:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Good point thank you! Will do :) GraziePrego (talk) 04:38, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

thank you
Thanks for the The Helping Hand Barnstar award. As you already know, I hardly deserve it. I am pretty much an inexperienced editor also. Of course, at first I assumed that the editor (Closer1616) was just a very annoying vandal, accidentally or purposefully messing up the article info-box. And thank you for catching his vandalism so quickly (twice). But when I realized (belatedly) that the editor indeed intended to name the person Reese Denny Alsop Gilder Palmer (after eventually overlooking the distracting formatting errors he accidentally made), I knew that the editor was the real thing (sincere), as this Palmer is a real person who also is indeed a great-grandson of Richard Watson Gilder (the subject of the article) and also a half brother (and second cousin simultaneously) of George Franklin Gilder (pretty much a famous author and economist, cofounder of the Discovery Institute think tank, and another great-grandson of Richard Watson Gilder). Like you, I realized that Closer1616 just happened to be a completely new (inexperienced) editor who did not know any of the rules or procedures -- whatsoever -- associated with WP. Closer1616 is also a great-grandson of Richard Watson Gilder. I felt that I had to apologize to him given the situation and my misunderstanding of it. Thanks again. --L.Smithfield (talk) 08:38, 13 September 2023 (UTC)


 * You absolutely do deserve it! :) Thank you and happy editing. GraziePrego (talk) 01:34, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Interiotherin
Hello, GraziePrego,

Please use Twinkle to tag pages for deletion and set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator". When you tag an article for a Proposed Deletion, you should state this in the edit summary and also post a notification on the talk page of the article creator. When you use Twinkle, it will take care of these steps for you. These are important steps in the deletion process so please become acquainted with Twinkle or, if you don't want to use this editing tool, please post these notices on the article creator's talk pages yourself and start leaving an informed edit summary.

If you have questions about Twinkle, you can bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:35, 19 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you, that's much easier actually. GraziePrego (talk) 03:43, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Purple Jesus (novel)
I found a second review for this book; I think it’s notable based on 2 independent reviews. There’s also a Kirkus Review for which I didn’t add a link (yet). According to WP:RSNP, Kirkus reviews are reliable sources but with one specified exception do not establish notability (this book doesn’t meet the exception).

Thanks for all your work screening old articles for deletion. — A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 15:36, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Great work finding that review- I had a look myself but couldn’t see one, I ended up finding a very old version of the publisher’s website which was interesting though haha
 * I agree that it now meets notability thanks to your improvement :) GraziePrego (talk) 21:20, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Draft:International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems
Hi,

You reported Draft:International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems as having copyright problems. I've looked into it and the source of the copying is under a compatible CC license so the only think needed was to add the appropriate attribution. As you declined the draft as a copyright violation, you may want to reevaluate it again without the issue of the copyright violation. -- Whpq (talk) 20:54, 13 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for looking into that- will do. GraziePrego (talk) 23:56, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello GraziePrego:

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.

Hello, GraziePrego. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Banker Schools scandal, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Anna Burke

 * Hi GraziePrego, I've partly reorganized the article; I rearranged the lede, partly rewritten it and organized it into chronological order. I've also moved the third para of "Early life", which is about Burke's early career, to "Career"; and the fourth, which is about her marriage and home life, to "Personal life". I've re-titled that section "Early life and education" because it includes both. I've also moved a quotebox to the talk page; the quotation didn't seem important enough to include, and the WP:MOS counsels against using pullquotes in articles (I consider quoteboxes to be a type of pullquote). The quotation could probably be integrated into the text or paraphrased. Anyway, good luck with the article. Cheers,  Baffle☿gab  03:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Tagging pages for speedy deletion, CSD G6
Hello, GraziePrego,

If you want to move an article from Draft space to take a page that is held by a main space Redirect, please, using Twinkle, select CSD>G6 Move and in the field, put the name of the draft article you want moved. This will create a live link so that patrolling admins can easily check it out and see whether or not it should be moved and the page deleted. I think your requests will get a faster response. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi GraziePrego, I've added a footnotes section to accommodate text that's germane but a bit off-topic here; that text being the definition of "teal independent".

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Alex Bhathal


A tag has been placed on Alex Bhathal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Articles for deletion/Alexandra Kaur Bhathal. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Woman Real Estate CEO BLP
Hi GraziePrego, I noticed that you are actively engaged in articles for WP:Women in Red. Would you please look at my article draft for MaryAnne Gilmartin, an NYC real estate developer and CEO and, if you agree that she is notable, moving the draft to main space? I am not publishing the article myself because of my COI. Thank you very much! AK for MAG (talk) 14:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I've had a look at the article and I don't think she is notable. Per WP:BASIC, there's a lack of sources supporting her notability that are independent, reliable, and in-depth. Some fulfil one or two of those criteria, but I don't think any fulfil all of those criteria simultaneously. If there are, you'd need 3 or more of such sources to meet WP:SIGCOV. GraziePrego (talk) 02:28, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response. I'll look into this! AK for MAG (talk) 18:38, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time
 Hello :

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there! You are receiving this message as a member of the WikiProject Women in Green. You can remove yourself from receiving notifications here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

RfA candidate poll
Regarding the RfA candidate poll you started: note as per the instructions for this poll, it's intended for those seeking to request administrative privileges in the near future. Historically there have been two primary reasons: to avoid speculation on the candidate's contributions between the poll and the request, and to narrow the scope of the poll to keep the workload manageable for responders. That being said, the current set of responders are typically quite flexible in their willingness to provide feedback. You might consider, though, looking at some of the editors who have nominated candidates in the past few years, and asking them directly for advice. isaacl (talk) 22:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Reward board inquiry
Good evening @GraziePrego,

After reading your reward board post from January, I decided to expand the article for senator Marie Breen (before, for reference) with the intention of nominating it for GA. Not that I'm asking for a copyedit or anything like that, but since you're presumably far more knowledgeable on Australian politics than I am, I was hoping you would be able to give it a quick look and give me any feedback you may have before I nominate it. Thank you either way! Kimikel (talk) 02:06, 7 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Amazing work! I will very happily give it a look :) GraziePrego (talk) 02:13, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Kimikel you have done a fantastic job with the page! I have made a few minor changes but overall it looks excellent. Such a great thing seeing the contrast between the before and after. Good luck with the GA review! GraziePrego (talk) 02:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * thank you that's very heartening to hear! sorry for the typos and errors i made; I really appreciate your help. Will be nominating for GA now; if approved, I'll be back for my barnstar :) Kimikel (talk) 02:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * You don't have to apologise in the slightest! :) I will be very pleased to give you your barnstar :) GraziePrego (talk) 02:29, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
