I was just curious if you think we can come to some sort of compromise on this page? Voting ends today and I would prefer have your vote on some sort of compromise. I think we both agree there is enough for some sort of article, we are just working on defining what is appropriate. I am happy to compromise. Thx!

 * Just a heads up.. I didnt notice the changes you made. I see you restructured the page as well. I appreciate the effort you put into it an applaud your efforts. I actually like the new design. Thx! Hope you change your vote in the AfD too! ScienceAdvisor (talk) 22:00, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm going to change to Keep, but am not sure why no one else has weighed in, not even the nominator. Lamona (talk) 16:35, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Article on Matthew Brown
Hey there. I went ahead and made and sourced changes to the main article. I still don't think his personal life, specifically his ex-wife and her supposed relationship with Taylor Swift, is either relevant or has enough sources, but believe the rest of the article is now well sourced. I'll leave it in your court now. Thanks for the feedback, regardless. FourDoorsOneExit (talk) 05:41, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The article is NOT well sourced. LinkedIn, press releases, and the guy's own company web site cannot be used as sources. I strongly suggest reading WP:RELIABLE before doing any more editing. I will remove those sources, and do NOT undo my edits unless you have actual reliable sources for the information that you add. (Also NY Post is not a usable source, see WP:Perennial_sources).

Article on Peter Brathwaite
Hello! I noticed you are working on an article about Peter Brathwaite, and thought you might be interested in this piece which extensively analyzes his portraiture work. Good luck and happy editing! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:24, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll see what I can add in. Lamona (talk) 04:39, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hope you don't mind that I poked around in the draft a little bit. I think it looks excellent, honestly, so I think it's just waiting for someone at AfC to have time to accept it. ~ L 🌸  (talk) 00:56, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Ipigott. Yes, that LaMona is also me and I have no idea how I ended up with both up/low and low versions. I'll try to point everything to the lower case one. I seem to recall that there is a way to do that. Lamona (talk) 16:09, 29 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Well as things stand at the moment, you have two sets of articles. Maybe one of our technical experts such as or  will be able to sort things out but in the meantime I think it would be useful to create a user page for Lamona on the EN Wikipedia (in addition to the one now on Meta) and explain that you are the same user as LaMona. Ditto on the LaMona user page. Both Lamona and LaMona give an editing history starting on 23 June 2019, so it might just be a problem with xtools. At the moment, xtools lists 8 articles for Lamona and 23 for LaMona. Let's see if there is any response from the two experts I have mentioned in next couple of days.--Ipigott (talk) 16:34, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
 * You can redirect User:LaMona and User talk:LaMona to User:Lamona and User talk:Lamona, respectively. This will ensure that links to LaMona will point to Lamona. Previous talk page discussions can be copied too. By the way, LaMona was registered 20:39, 29 April 2013 (8 years ago) and has 19,890 edits, while Lamona was registered 05:54, 17 March 2015 (6 years ago) and has 370 edits. Best, MarioGom (talk) 10:20, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, MarioGom. I obviously didn't know that names are case-sensitive, but also have no idea how I created a new identity. I will do some linking. Lamona (talk) 18:27, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

Perennial sources
Hi Lamona, I'm writing you to let you know that I've reverted your good-faith edit to the David Firth article because you added a source that the community widely deems unreliable. For a list of sources, where consensus has been established in regard to their reliability, see Reliable sources/Perennial sources. When in doubt, it's always a good idea to check that list before adding any source to articles. Thank you for considering and happy editing! Throast (talk &#124; contribs) 20:30, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

"Did you know" help
Hello. I have read some about "Did you know" but can not understand. Can you help me with it for Twila True? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanny shower (talk • contribs) 20:28, 31 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi. I've never done a DYK so I can't be much help. I also see that you are the one who created the TT article and that the article is still under deletion discussion. First, you have to wait and see if the article is deleted. Then there has to be something interesting about the article that people would not expect - which I kind of doubt because this is a standard business bio. If you have more than an intellectual interest in this article, please make that explicit. The information about how to do that is at WP:COI Lamona (talk) 01:06, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Restoring Chanale to AfC
Hello Lamona,

I see that consensus was reached on the deletion of Chanale. I would like to reinstate the article in AfC so that I may continue to work on improving it, and hopefully have it eventually approved for the mainspace. Would you be able to tell me how to do that?

Thank you GreenEli (talk) 23:51, 24 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi, GreenEli I haven't actually done this myself, but the information is here. However, you should not move it before the AFD is completed. You should tell the delete discussion that you wish to take it to draft, and then hopefully the closing editor will close it as draft. In case the closing editor closes it as "delete" you should grab a copy of the article for yourself now. A "delete" actually deletes the article and I think you need to ask a moderator to restore a copy. (I usually have a number of drafts in my sandbox, waiting for more information to become available. It's just part of the process.) Best of luck. Lamona (talk) 19:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Lamona,
 * I thought that it was completed, based on the discussion being archived, and the notice to not modify the page. The also appeared to have been deleted as of the time that I sent my previous message nearly a week ago. I do have a copy of the article code, but I know that only carries the details to be displayed to the public, and not the edit and talk history as well. My understanding was that edit history is important, especially in terms of giving credit to people who created articles.
 * Should I just reach out to the editor who set the result, and ask them about restoring the article to draft?
 * Thank you GreenEli (talk) 15:00, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, try that GreenEli, that would be best. And you might reach out to WP:Israel to help you find sources, especially ones in Israeli newspapers and magazines. That's the project on all things related to Israel. Lamona (talk) 16:38, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, Lamona. GreenEli (talk) 16:39, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
