Pls stop making changes. Thanks. Much appreciated.
 * Wikipuffery states "wikipuffery is the puffing of a subject or the addition of praise-filled adjectives and claims. They may be there to exaggerate the notability of the article subject to avoid deletion of the article. Examples include use of adjectives such as ... "award-winning"". I instead say to you, please do not add "an award winning..." to Mike Binder. Thank you. -Lopifalko (talk) 04:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Hello Biju. I hear what you are saying, but Wikipedia is not here to support your career, it is independent of you, and intended as an objective record. Wikipuffery states "wikipuffery is the puffing of a subject or the addition of praise-filled adjectives and claims. They may be there to exaggerate the notability of the article subject to avoid deletion of the article. Examples include use of adjectives such as ... "award-winning"". If awards are mentioned then the specific awards must be described. -Lopifalko (talk) 08:30, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

Mike Binder
I only wonder why it's so important to you? Do you work for wikipedia? Do you make donations? What is it that you go around telling people what they can not do? You've done this to others. I get it. You think it's your right. I respect that. I've asked you nicely not to. You want to do it anyway. Do you have this much time on your hands?

Research invitation: Help us understand how editors work with media
Dear Lopifalko,

I'm reaching out to invite you to participate in a research session because you're an English Wikipedia editor who works with media files—either regularly or occasionally. If you (or any other media editors who see this!) are interested in participating in an anonymous interview—for which you will be compensated—please first fill out this short survey in which we ask you a few questions about working with media. At the end, we ask for an email address that we can use to contact you if you are selected for an interview. If selected, we will follow up with an email invitation to select a day/time to participate. As a thank you for your time and insights, we are able to offer interview participants a gift card in compensation for participation.

You can complete the survey on any internet-capable device, but in order to participate in the interview, you will need access to a computer and internet connection fast enough to support video calls.

Thank you!

Peter Biegen
Please stop editing this person’s page. I will ask the writer to cite the awards, of which there are several. Not “puffery”, but actually hard work and a little luck. Cheers. 2603:7000:8A00:3BA8:C97B:2603:29F6:C5A1 (talk) 13:45, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It is not "this person's page" it is Wikipedia's page. Our WP:PUFFERY guidance states that a subject should not be described as "award-winning". There are so many awards around, not all of them notable, so "award-winning" at best is meaningless, and worse can puff up a subject without any factual specifics to support it. Perhaps you're confusing my intention, assuming that by removing "award winning" I am saying that the subject did not receive any awards. What I mean by removing "award winning" is that the specific awards received by the subject should instead be described. However, the Peter Biegen article claimed "award winning" in the lead, and yet didn't describe any awards in the body of the article, and "award winning" didn't have any sources, so it is doubly appropriate to remove it as it is not supported in any way. -Lopifalko (talk) 17:13, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

“This person’s page” was to say this person on Wikipedia. Moreover, for what reason are you removing so much of his credits? Are you familiar with the writer and his works? You are not representing Wikipedia. You have every right to follow it’s rules, but you appear to be making a special case against this screenwriter and playwright for reasons that escape me. I work for Peter Biegen. This is my job. Can you please stop editing his Wikipedia page? I am asking with respect, and have noted you’ve done this elsewhere.

This person is not associated with you and has earned his credits and awards. Be kind and use your editing skills elsewhere. Many thanks! 2603:7000:8A00:3BA8:C97B:2603:29F6:C5A1 (talk) 18:15, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes indeed I have done this elsewhere. There were 1700 pages in the English Wikipedia that used "is an award-winning" and I have so far removed 1000 of those cases recently. I am systematically going through them all. This article came up again in my search results because you had re-added "award winning". It is laughable that you suggest I have picked on this article in particular. Given you brought it back to my attention by commenting here, I have gone and examined the article, and made further well justified alterations, all of which were described in their edit summaries. I do the same for any article brought to my attention, there is nothing about it that is making a special case of this one. That's what people like me do here. I had never heard of Peter Biegen until this conversation. The article is very lacking. It is no-one's "job" to alter Biegen's article, least of all yours if you have a conflict of interest. The article makes various claims that are unsupported by sources, and what sources there are are not enough to meet WP:GNG or MOS:BIO (as has been pointed out at the top of the article since 2010), which all biographies require. Given it is so lacking in supporting evidence, I don't see how you can stand up for it. I could have been any editor that happened along and scrutinised it. Your time would be better spent finding independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject and adding them to the talk page, so that other editors could add them to the article. You say he has earned his awards and so I should not remove mention of him winning any, but neither you nor the article describes what awards they are. -Lopifalko (talk) 18:34, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

I see Mike Binder has been through this with you, as well. So, rather than go round and round as you defend your fantasy editing job, may I ask a favor? Please remove the Peter Biegen Wikipedia page entirely. I am certain that an over simplified version of his life and achievements is less desirable than no page at all.

Thanking you in advance. 2603:7000:8A00:3BA8:C97B:2603:29F6:C5A1 (talk) 19:00, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Margaret Moulton moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Margaret Moulton, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

You don't get to define what street photography is
There are literally dozens of photographers that created the genre that did not create it as candid only. You arrogant troll. I named two. But I'm sure if I named ten you still wouldn't admit your are wrong because you think you get to define this. You want to put something in a bo with rigid sides. You don't have a clue what art is. Theshowmecanuck (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 04:55, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * In reference to you calling me an "arrogant troll", please be civil. Neither do you "get to define what street photography is". If there are dozens of examples, then you need to cite independent reliable sources that support that. For example journalists writing about the claim you have made, rather than synthesising it yourself from sources. Please read the links I gave in my edit summary over at Street photography: "WP:SYNTHESIS / WP:ORIGINAL." You wrote "Some people make the mistake that street photography must be candid in nature, but in fact this has never been the case. Many of the originators of street photography, including those like William Klein actively involved their subjects." "Some people make the mistake that..." reads like personal opinion; and you sourced all of your writing to https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/265062, which states: "For this photograph, Klein asked two boys on Upper Broadway to pose." This is but one photograph, by a photographer who has been known to make street photography but also other kinds of photography, making a photograph in which the subjects pose. You cannot use one example to extrapolate so broadly. -Lopifalko (talk) 10:51, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , where are your reliable sources saying they must be candid shots? I posted EXAMPLES WHICH SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. There is no synthesis, only actual examples by some of the greatest street photographers. Only the weakest of thinking won't recognize examples of work as documentation. You want something to be 'so' even after being SHOWN. Just too weak. I'm tired of Wikipedia editors like you forcing their ideals on a subject like this. Here are some links (but I don't think 100 examples or references would be enough for you):

 * Hi. Nothing more. Everything appears to be sourced. It has 3 indepoendent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject (The Independent, The New York Times and The Guardian) which satisfies the basic requirement. Everything else apart from one list in a newspaper appears to be primary sources, which isn't ideal, but still you can remove the "BLP sources" warning. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:59, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Eric Firestone Gallery
Hello, I noticed you removed a number of edits I made related to artists represented by the Eric Firestone Gallery due to violation of copyright rules. We do not intend to self-promote, only to include valuable information for those interested in the works of these artist. If the only rule I am breaking is the external links to our site, please let me know and I will remove them.


 * Hi. I mentioned nothing about copyright, I linked to WP:PROMO due to your edits being promotional, and WP:EL because of the inline external link. MOS:LEAD is there only to summarise the most important aspects of the subject and must only include what is described in the body. Your statement was added to the lead and nowhere else. WP:EL says not to include inline external WP:PROMO links. All statements must be sourced, in most cases to independent reliable sources, especially so for biographies of living people. My understanding / belief is that adding mention of artist representation to articles is promotional, unless supported by independent reliable sources. Similarly, I see that another editor yesterday has again removed your additions, where it would appear someone else from your gallery has reverted my edits. On the other hand, I know other editors who believe that mentioning artist representation is OK. However, all of the above policies still apply. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:59, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello again, just wanted to clarify something. If I include artist representation in the body and remove the link, would this still violate policies of wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annaefg (talk • contribs) 14:31, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Not that I'm aware of when added with a neutral tone, though it flies close to the wind of WP:PROMO. You'll need to cite a source, preferably an independent reliable source (at the very least, put your link between ref tags). Others may be more aware than I of policy it violates, or object based on you appearing to be a single-purpose account, adding content to suit yourself rather than for the benefit of Wikipedia. -Lopifalko (talk) 15:00, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello - Draft review - short
Hello! I am quite new to Wikipedia (only about 12 edits) and I wrote my first article today. Would you mind reviewing it? It is called Draft:Anne Lequy. I'd be really pleased. Also, the article is quite short and I included many citations (some of them are in german but this should be okay). I really took a lot of time to make this draft, so it turned out quite good (I think). I would love to hear your suggestions for improvement. Lmqay (talk) 17:15, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks. -Lopifalko (talk) 16:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * What other steps do I have to take until the article is ready to be released into the main space? Can I do anything else? Lmqay (talk) 17:03, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * The article should describe why the subject is notable. WP:NACADEMIC requires "The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon" or that "the person has held the post of president or chancellor (or vice-chancellor [or rector] in countries where this is the top academic post) of a significant accredited college or university". However, Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences does not appear to satisfy this as there is no Wikipedia article on it. Failing the above, I would want to see independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject so as to satisfy WP:GNG. Being as the sources aren't in English, I haven't the patience to go through them I'm afraid. Are you able to identify the few best sources which satisfy this requirement please? -Lopifalko (talk) 07:42, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

dreamthinkspeak thanks you!
Hi Pete. Big thanks for setting up a Wiki page for dreamthinkspeak! We were looking into doing this, so it was great to see you take an interest in our work. We’d like to make a couple of changes and add some text and/or references, but aren’t experienced with the editing process. We were planning to reach out to our community, but we’re new to Wiki etiquette and wondered if you would be available to assist us with this? We look forward to hearing you!
 * Hi, and thanks. I've been to a few of your productions and loved them. Consider what I've done so far to merely be the briefest of introductions, as I do plan to expand it. The recommended approach that you should take is to make suggestions on the article's talk page, then I or others can enact them if they're in keeping with Wikipedia policy, and sources exist that are independent of the subject, and considered reliable. The way Wikipedia works is that the subject themselves shouldn't create or edit an article on themselves as their conflict of interest tends to prevent them from taking a neutral point of view. Usually it's best to wait for independent editors to write the article. In theory, when a subject becomes notable enough then someone will hopefully be motivated to write an article. I was surprised to find an article didn't exist on Dreamthinkspeak already, as there were plenty of independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the company. If your suggestions are compliant then I'd be happy to make additions that are objective, neutral and in an encyclopaedic tone. Another thing, please read Username policy with regard to the name chosen for your username.

Nick Hayes and Guy Shrubsole articles
Hi Pete, thanks for your edits on the Nick Hayes and Guy Shrubsole articles. Unfortunately, I don't agree with your use of WP:UNDUE. As you have left it, is not clear what the failings of the CROW Act are so the sentence isn't clear. Would you please be able to phrase in way that you see fit the fact that Shrubsole's research has found that in England people only have access to 8% of the land and 3% of the rivers, and that from their point of view this is a large short falling on what the campaigners for the 2000 CROW act aimed to achieve, and this is why they organised the mass trespass? Many thanks Paolo.oprandi (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. I should have written WP:TOOMUCH, as I misleadingly cherry picked WP:UNDUE's "Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to depth of detail, quantity of text". It was a lot of text given the shortness of the articles and that the only source it had was a local newspaper. I have restored a portion.
 * Please can you be mindful not to add inline external links into the body of articles, thanks. -Lopifalko (talk) 06:30, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Your editing in Draft:DietPi
Hello Lopifalko,

I am new to Wikipedia editing. You edited the Draft:DietPi article and removed the release history table.

Is there a reason that these tables should not be in an overview of a software? I generated the article in reference to Alpine Linux where also such a table is present. In comparison within the DietPi article this table is much longer than the Alpine Linux table, so the DietPi table may be a bit overwhelmed.

Thanks for your other editorial changes.
 * Hi. I described what I'd done in my edit summary using the link "WP:NOTCHANGELOG" so that you could follow that for an explanation. Thanks for pointing out that Alpine Linux has the same issue, I've now done the same there. If you've any more questions about how things work around here then please don't hesitate to ask. -Lopifalko (talk) 06:58, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Please help editing our page
Hi Lopifalko,

We have read the comments on why you have redone our changes to the Hypersonix Launch Systems page.

I have changed my account name accordingly.

We have edited as there was 3 very false statements/comments.

We are in the process of getting a new Wikipedia page drafted as we speak (8 weeks away).

Can you please undo your edits for now?

Thank you


 * You shouldn't be writing an article about your own company, please read Conflict of interest and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. What are the "3 very false statements/comments"? I will not undo my edits as I believe they are justified. My first edits that you undid were to remove an excessive number of wikilinks (as per MOS:REPEATLINK), which seems an odd change for you to want to revert. -Lopifalko (talk) 11:04, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * In light of Wikipedia policies on "Neutral point of view", "writing with a formal tone" and "not a soapbox or means of promotion", consider this which you added to the article recently: "Michael is the foremost authority on scramjet engines and a world leader in hypersonic technology. ... His driving passion is designing and building re-usable engines ... He is well known for his genius and smart ideas". -Lopifalko (talk) 14:25, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Mike Rosen page

I understand the intention is to have wikipedia pages not be promotions or advertisements, but the person who is the subject of the page certainly should be able to have some input into the content vs. some 3rd party individual who knows very little about the subject. if you want to email me you can - bieb0311@gmail.com. Prw101XYZ (talk) 17:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. I will not restore your version, because I did have issues with so much it. You removed lots of well sourced content and replaced it with unsourced info (taking the references down from 26 to 1, an Amazon promotional source), and added inline external links. It doesn't need someone who knows the subject to be able to see that this first and foremost goes against the purpose of Wikipedia, of having all information in biographies of living people be reliably sourced. Please read WP:COIEDIT and the "Plain and simple conflict of interest guide" to understand why the situation you describe is unacceptable; the person who is the subject of the page certainly should _not_ be able to have some input into the content, unless it is utterly wrong or impinges their privacy in an undue manner. -Lopifalko (talk) 17:43, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

I have no problem with citations, but citations in and of themselves do not result in an accurate or appropriate article. I can put 100 citations in an article and it can still be off-base, misleading, or paint the wrong picture. How is the article worded? What points or elements does it focus on? Is it balanced? These are the important factors. Not just citations. This paragraph on the Mike Rosen page is a good example:

Rosen wrote a May 31, 2012 column for The Denver Post, under the headline "Mike Coffman was right about Obama in the first place," strongly agreeing with a speech given by Mike Coffman. In that speech, Coffman questioned the birth certificate of President Barack Obama and asserted that Obama was not loyal to the United States.[21] Rosen dismissed Coffman's later apology[22] as a "pragmatic" election-year maneuver.[23]

Rosen wrote hundreds of articles - why is this one being mentioned? Could it be the author wants to paint Rosen as an extremist? A birther? The paragraph is inaccurate considering the way it is worded.

1) "Stronly agreeing" is a subjective statement. Mike agrees with some portions of the Coffman speech and disagrees with others. I think it's more accurate to say his column ANALYZED Coffman's speech. Or you could even say "agreed." "Strongly agreed" smacks of bias. 2) Coffman never challenged the legitimacy of Obama's citizenship. A reader would most likely come to the conclusion he had after reading this paragraph. 3) This statement - Rosen dismissed Coffman's later apology[22] as a "pragmatic" election-year maneuver.[23] - is highly biased. The word "maneuver" in this context has negative connotations. Mike did not use the word "maneuver" in his column. A more accurate way of stating this would be "Rosen characterized Coffman's apology as pragmatic."

I thought accuracy was important to Wikipedia? I've shown you three inaccuracies in a single paragraph in the Mike Rosen article. In addition to this, I looked at the citations and many of them go to dead links or links that exist behind paywalls.

I'm going to continue making smaller, more focused edits to Mike's page and am looking forward to your reviews of them. Some things I think can and should be added, such as Mike's signature statement "party trumps person." Anyone wanting to learn about Mike should know this. I will include citations wherever possible. I understand that wikipedia articles should not be advertisements or promotions. I don't disagree with that fundamentally. I would appreciate it if you would work with me on this rather than acting as a gatekeeper. Prw101XYZ (talk) 22:01, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Lopifalko, Thank you for your reviews. I am new to this. I am not suitable to edit Draft: Luzia Simons because of conflict of interests. I am not being paid for it, but I am doing this for her as a curator and personal friend. Nevertheless I really believe she has a relevant enough career to have a Wiki-entry. So I guess I have to queue it at AfC... I am not sure how to proceed, can you help me? --AldonsoP (talk) 19:48, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Stop moving to draft space
Stop moving articles to draft space because you think articles are not meeting notability guideliness, like you for instance did with Mayo Hagino. SportsOlympic (talk) 20:59, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi. Do you mean "articles" in general, or do you just mean your specific article Mayo Hagino? I did not review it based on what I "think", but by following the "flowchart detailing a step by step process of fully reviewing a new article" at New pages patrol and by carefully comparing the article against WP:NOLYMPICS and WP:NBASKETBALL. I admit I assessed it too soon as I was confused by the time difference and I apologise for that. I was patrolling new articles that appeared in the New Page Patrol queue and I draftified it based on New pages patrol, based on the fact it did not satisfy WP:NOLYMPICS or WP:NBASKETBALL. Re-reading WP:NPPDRAFT, I see that I was correct to draftify on points 1 ("the topic has some potential merit, and") and point 2 ("the article does not meet the required standard,"), but not on point 3 ("and there is no evidence of active improvement."). I apologise that I did not take point 3 into consideration, that I jumped the gun. The article as it now stands still does not appear to me to satisfy WP:NOLYMPICS or WP:NBASKETBALL. The article describes Hagino's inclusion in a "World Championships", but does not wikilink to an article on that subject, so I presume one does not exist, but I could be wrong. Is this "World Championships" included in WP:SPORTBASIC's "participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics)"?. I am presuming not. I don't believe this "World Championships" is the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup (a competition that is not included in WP:NBASKETBALL). Am I wrong? I have been unable to judge whether or not the article satisfies WP:GNG as its sources are not in English (though none of the publishers have Wikipedia articles). -Lopifalko (talk) 07:27, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, now worries, thanks for your explanation. The articles meets GNG as she has coverage in multiple secondary sources. One of the sources has a Wiki page: Mainichi Shimbun. With the world championships I mean the Wheelchair Basketball World Championship. The article can easily be expanded with the Japanese sources I provided or with the page in Japanese. Regards, SportsOlympic (talk) 13:01, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for filling me in. I missed the presence of Mainichi Shimbun (plus your link is to mainichi.jp where as Mainichi Shimbun uses www.mainichi.co.jp). I wonder why WP:NBASKETBALL doesn't mention Wheelchair Basketball World Championship, and whether it should. -Lopifalko (talk) 13:40, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

UTC)
 * Yes, thanks! I don’t know all Paralympic wheelchair basketball players are notable. I now created all the female players at the 2020 Paralympics; but of the early Paralympics I don’t thinks there is enough coverage. And thinks that is the same for the World Championships. But NBASKETBALL is leaning towards club level players; because the able-bodied FIBA Basketball World Cup is also not in the guideline. SportsOlympic (talk) 16:41, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Re: Documentary Photography use of work
Hi, I am still getting to grips with the way wikipedia operates BTS, so hopefully this comes through as some kind of message. I'm following up on sharing my work for the Documentary Photography page, which is lacking contemporary examples from this century. I don't see anyone else offering their work with the relevant licence, and it is a historic, iconic photograph. There should not be any issues there, and the credit was in line with formatting elsewhere on the page, and not hyperlinked. If you take issue with content which seems to promote then on that same page the very first reference is to a professional photographers own website where they very much are selling their services and work - far from an impartial source, and that's in the first few sentences! The photograph is representative, and worthy of inclusion. Without the credit as removed there should be no conflicts with any guidelines. Sleyatx (talk) 20:57, 17 October 2021 (UTC)


 * A "historic, iconic photograph" or a photograph of a "historic, iconic" event? The reference spam you mention is significantly less obvious than an actual inline photograph at the top of the page; and I have now removed it. "The photograph is representative" of what?. The conflict is with WP:PROMO, as already explained. The other Documentary photography article photographs that represent outstanding historic examples of the genre are from John Beasly Greene, Jacob Riis, Lewis Hine, and Dorothea Lange. Now we also have one from Simon King, so please tell me just how you fit into the canon? It's one thing adding your own work to represent, for example, a physical thing, and an entirely different matter adding your own work as representative of one of the finest examples of an artistic genre. -Lopifalko (talk) 11:58, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, yes you are right, a photograph during a historic iconic event, in a historic iconic space. I saw the removal of the spam, seems an appropriate adjustment. The photograph is representative of a contemporary example of the genre, and a quality one at that. Again, I don't see many others coming forward to donate an iteration of their work for this. The name is removed as previous, so there is no conflict with promo, any mre than any other photographer applying an image of theirs to an article. I agree there are some outstanding names on that page, but that is not a requirement and it is not a requirement that the photographer is anyone impressive, only that the work is representative. The page isn't a list of notable characters, it is about the genre itself. I would also say that it is not an artistic genre but a journalistic genre with artistic tendencies, but that's entirely a semantic distinction. I take your point about it being the header image, and have opted to include it further down the page - again in a non-promo way, meeting none of the 5 outlined criteria on the wp:promo write-up. If there is an issue with that then there would be an issue with hundreds of other images used in such a way. Sleyatx (talk) 00:14, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Remove generic explanation of what a massacre is
Thank you for all editing and streamlining on the massacre articles. From time to time I try to contribute, in line with yours and others' edits, but am very busy with other non-wiki work. you write: "Remove generic explanation of what a massacre is, we have an article on that" - fair enough, but then the term massacre should be bluelinked, I think?

"Puffery"
Hi, Lopifalko, I see you have been making many edits which remove content with the edit comment "puffery". However, some of these have been reliably cited.

It is not "puffery" to say somebody won an award if they actually did so. Removing such a summary from the lead of an article where the claims made are true is obviously damaging, so it's important to make sure the claims are actually false before editing. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:27, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Verified or not, the specific award(s) need to be described, not just say "award-winning", always but even more so in the first sentence. Please read WP:PUFFERY. -Lopifalko (talk) 09:29, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Then your job is to describe the awards briefly, not to damage the articles by removing truthful claims. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:30, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I am not causing damage, I am improving, as per Wikipedia policy. There are so many awards that almost everyone notable enough for there to be a Wikipedia on can be described as "award-winning". WP:PUFFERY is very clear that the term should not be used in this way, so my self-assigned "job" is to deal with that particular issue in the first instance. I am firefighting. I have fixed perhaps 1000 articles in this way and there are now very few instances left. If the claim is truthful then you are welcome to add to the lead, those specific notable awards this subject has won. The article will then be all the better for it. -Lopifalko (talk) 10:15, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Lopifalko, consider that you may be improving some articles but not others. A football referee who makes 99 good judgements and 1 poor one may not in everybody's eyes be considered to be doing a splendid job. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:18, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

dr5 updates? Why?
Why do you keep removing David Wood's own wording regarding the future of the dr5 process? I have communicated with him personally in regards to this topic in which he confirms his desire to make the legendary dr5 process public once he finds a suitable journal or platform willing to publish his formula. Many of us are eagerly awaiting this announcement.

Unless you have personally communicated with David regarding his future intentions as anything other than what he wrote himself on his own page, then I can only regard your edits as unhelpful. 75.161.66.213 (talk) 21:51, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Mamiya RB67
Hi, I made a couple of edits to your draft, and added a couple of references for demonstration of notability on the Talk Page. I recently got an RB67 and found your article while searching for information. I'd be happy to work with you on the article if you'd like any help. Cheers! --Kevin Murray (talk) 07:55, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the corrections and suggestions. Your help would be much appreciated, cheers. -Lopifalko (talk) 09:24, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Great! What are your goals before "launching" the article?  I have had bad experiences in launching without establishing notability.  Having a couple of hard copy books like I posted on the talk page may be strong evidence of notability.  I'd like to find a couple of print-media articles.  I used to write a lot for WP, but got burned out on the exclusionist crowd.  I'm a combination of rusty on the processes, and less capable in the newer tech of things like footnotes and inline references. My email is kevinmurraycan@gmail.com if you want to reachout.  --Kevin Murray (talk) 17:10, 24 January 2022 (UTC)


 * You might enjoy some of my camera pages at, https://web4homes.net/cameras-2/


 * I added five more references and included some simplistic inline notes. Please feel free to reformat my notes and then we could probably eliminate my Biblio Section.  Talk to you soon.--Kevin Murray (talk) 18:51, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * PS, I kind of tossed the info into the article without a lot of thought yet to the flow. And there may be some redundancy, but we might leave the excessive footnoted materials in place until we get past the inevitable attention of people "reviewing" new articles. --Kevin Murray (talk) 18:51, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for all you've done so far Kevin. My articles are auto reviewed, they don't need a person to review them, though they may still receive the attention of other editors. However, still of utmost importance, and my main consideration before moving to article space, is that we have some reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject. So far I think they're going to have to come from printed media.

Also, my preference, at least initially, is for an article whose scope is limited purely to the subject at hand, not with sections on the history leading up to it. There are instances where this is appropriate, but I think care needs to be taken to not unduly weigh the article too far in that direction, in terms of quantity of text and sources. Often, I think, the history should be left to a more generalised article on the topic. Hence I would ideally prefer to move your "Medium format SLRs" and "The Mamiya evolution" sections to the talk page. The article would then need enough sources of the kind that are focused precisely on the subject itself; of which I'm not yet sure whether we have enough or not. What do you think? -Lopifalko (talk) 08:41, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I hear you on the brevity issue. I don't see any need to archive my paragraphs; the system does that already in history.  I eliminated the Medium format SLRs section and pared down Mamiya evolution.

I think that it is important for WP article to include some of the "why" so that readers understand the topic in the context of the time. But it's your baby and I'm just here to be a bit of a midwife in the launch.

Many of the references I included are from printed books which I own, but... I'll look for some better sources, though my searching yesterday was not productive in that direction. Best regards! --Kevin Murray (talk) 01:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Congratulations on launching the article. It was an honor and pleasure to be involved. Best regards! --Kevin Murray (talk) 03:46, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

F2N
First of all thanks for all your work. I love it. Thinking about what you say about the article and upgrade etc - what do you think about naming the article -- Felixstowe to Nuneaton railway  AND  upgrade? or similar? GRALISTAIR (talk) 19:13, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm pleased you like how it turned out, you should as you put a lot of valuable work into it. As for the name, I've looked and I can find no naming convention for railway lines, only for stations. The use of the en dash (–) is standard. From what I've picked up, I think "and" would not conform to naming convention. Otherwise what we're supposed to do is go by the description used in the majority of independent reliable sources. Consider for example Midland Main Line railway upgrade and Yiwu–London railway line. I'm tending toward recommending calling it "Felixstowe–Nuneaton railway", with a section on its upgrade, as that conforms to other articles. However my personal preference, for better clarity, is to use "Felixstowe–Nuneaton freight route". You've mentioned that portions of the route include passenger workings, but now I'm thinking that the article isn't about portions, only about the route as a whole, which is wholly related to freight. So perhaps we should remove mention of passenger traffic from the lead. -Lopifalko (talk) 13:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Sumy Sadurni
Hi Lopifalko, I'm writing to follow up on your recent reversion of my addition of the Talk page banner for the Women in Red Art+Activism event. I added it because I added sources and content to the article, which had been a Stub before the additions allowed me to feel confident in updating the article class to Start. Given the broad nature of the monthlong WiR event, which includes both articles created and articles improved, it seemed appropriate to add the banner. This banner can also help protect the article by raising its visibility in the editing community, including because if it is brought to AfD, then it will show up as an alert on the WiR page. I hope this helps explain why I plan to add the banner back onto the Talk page, but please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 23:35, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Declined Draft:Claira Amy Parr
Hi Lopifalko. Thanks for your input on the above draft. I have made changes and will re-submit soon. I do disagree with your interpretation of notabiliity guidelines WP:SIGCOV particularly in reference to any actor article. Generally there are more articles in relation to a production in which an actor was a part, rather than the actor themselves being the direct subject. So the threshold for "more than a trivial mention" should be re-evaluated when compared with, for example, a director or even an author or other celebrity where perhaps the 'personality' is the subject of the article more than their professional achievements. I think this article clearly referenced an actor who's professional achievements are notable based on the productions they have been in (even if some fine tuning and improvement of the references was needed). Your thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supersim65 (talk • contribs) 14:14, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi. Given my assumption or reading of the article that the subject hadn't met WP:NACTOR's requirement for "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions", then what I meant by requiring WP:SIGCOV was in order to pass WP:GNG. If it was to pass on a claim of notability then that appeared to rest on the awards, but they were not sourced. No matter who a person is, if they are to pass WP:GNG then they need WP:SIGCOV; or if they are to satisfy the particular and only exemption that exists for actors, then they must meet WP:NACTOR. Are any of the subject's appearances both significant roles, and in notable films / performances? -Lopifalko (talk) 14:25, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Noted. The subject has, but I will need to seek out citations without user-generated content. Thanks. Supersim65 (talk) 15:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Gabi DeMartino
Hello! A while ago I created a draft page for Gabi DeMartino who is apart of the Niki and Gabi duo, the singer has gone solo and I think she needs her own page, she recently released her solo album as well, so if you have time could you review the draft page and help me improve it if it needs to? Thank you so much! Gabriella Grande (talk) 11:09, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Copy-pasting articles
Hi Lopifalko. I'm very confused as to why an editor who's made as many edits and been here as long as you copy-pasted So Far So Good (The Chainsmokers Album) to So Far So Good (The Chainsmokers album). You should know copy-pasting articles to rename them should not be done, in order to preserve attribution. See WP:CUTPASTE: "Cut-and-paste moves still occur today because of unfamiliarity with the move function, unawareness that attribution is necessary, or when the move function fails (e.g., because the target has history) and people don't know to use the requested moves forum to ask for help from an administrator." In future, please request a move at WP:RM/TR. Thanks.  Ss  112   19:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. All I can think is that in a flurry of moving various articles to their correct titles, when I tried to move this and the move failed, because of acting in haste I had a complete failure of judgement / moment of forgetfulness. It does stand out to me as something I wouldn't usually do. I do remember feeling frustrated that the move failed to work, but I can't justify my actions. I do apologise. Thank you for pointing this out. -Lopifalko (talk) 19:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Rejected article- Grandmaster Recorders
Thanks for taking the time to review my proposed article on Grandmaster Recorders. I'm wondering if you could expand on your reasoning for rejection the article due to lack of significant sources? I included 2 legitimate sources from artist websites (Foo Fighters and Kanye West) that detail their use of the studio when recording major albums, in addition to other sources that describe the building's use as a studio. I'm also unclear of what does qualify as "significant" when refering to sources, given that something like this article exists. Geoffhunt3 (talk) 15:36, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm happy to help. Notability (organizations and companies) says that "A company, corporation ... is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Your article has 6 sources. (1) from Curbed is a local edition of a "real estate and urban design website", that is merely an announcement about its sale (local media, and announcements are not great sources). (2) is a reliable source (Variety), but it's about the premises now being used as a restaurant, not about it as a recording studio. (3) is from the architects involved in and about it being converted into a restaurant etc, so is from a source close to the subject, and again not about the recording studio. (4) is a primary source. (5) from Foo Fighters doesn't go into WP:SIGCOV about the sudio itself and (6) even less so, being a mere inclusion of its name in a list. This is not the WP:SIGCOV that's required. Notability is not inherited, so the fact that notable albums were recorded there doesn't make the studio notable.


 * It doesn't help to point out that another article exists that also breaks with policy. If Eldorado Recording Studios was up for review now then it wouldn't pass by a mile, somehow it got passed reviewing editors upon its arrival. It has merely 1 source and that's a primary source. I have now tagged it as such. -Lopifalko (talk) 10:02, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your edits
Thank you for your edits to the page Emma Clark. I obviously don’t speak British English. I have a question. Should words like “books” and “press” be removed when listing works? --Zaynab1418 (talk) 07:35, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, see the examples at WP:BIBLIOGRAPHY. -Lopifalko (talk) 07:45, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Date of birth of Roy Stuart is 25 october 1942
The date of birth of the photographer Roy Stuart is 25 october 1942 and not 1962. Even in his latest photos posted on his Instagram it's obvious he's at leat 79 years old. In his bio section, it says that he was working as a porn actor in live shows in New-York in the 70's. He couldn't be doing so before he was no longer a minor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragots (talk • contribs) 12:39, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Chemist wikilink
Hi Pete. You reverted a link I added to the Robert Mapplethorpe article, giving MOS as the reason. The problem with that is that 'chemist' means different things in different places, and many people aren't going to know that a chemist in the UK is the same as a drugstore in the US. Creating a link where the term is first used isn't overlinking. I don't plan to make a fuss about this, but hope you will reconsider your decision. Ef80 (talk) 15:48, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I don't feel strongly enough that I would stand in your way of reverting. My justification is that MOS:OVERLINK states "A good question to ask yourself is whether reading the article you're about to link to would help someone understand the article you are linking from." I don't feel that the reader would gain any further insight into Mapplethorpe by the clarification of chemist/pharmacy. But anyway, I have reworded the article so as to remove what I believe is the unnecessary mention of the type of shop. -Lopifalko (talk) 16:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * OK, fair enough. --Ef80 (talk) 16:56, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
