Thanks for the Barnstars!
Thanks for the two Barnstars! What do you think of the new article I created, Bloodlust Zombies? Right cite (talk) 14:08, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I have been working insane hours so only performed a quick read-over. I am a proponent that unless something in the lead (See: MOS:INTRO) is controversial (challenged or likely to be challenged - See; WP:REDFLAG) it does not really need references as long as it is a concise overview (See: MOS:CITELEAD and WP:Lead dos and don'ts) of what is found and sourced in the body. I think it makes the article look better when the lead is not unnecessarily cluttered with sources but there is neither a requirement or prohibition.
 * Each sentence does not require referencing, especially to the same link(s) or the sometimes redundant triplet of referencing, that can be seen as over-referencing. I think it is a better presentation when there is paragraph sourcing. Unless something in particular is contested simple paragraph sourcing will generally suffice.
 * Not being a genre of my particular interest: The article has sources that advance notability, not too long of a plot (that is also sourced), balanced with negative reviews, and overall was an interesting read. Otr500 (talk) 10:17, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestions about Mango
Thanks for your helpful suggestions about Mango (Saturday Night Live). I've gone ahead and made some copy edits to the page per your friendly feedback. Thank you, Right cite (talk) 15:12, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I see that. I am elated when I see editors opinioned that sourcing is important. An area often overlooked (or not deemed as important as it should be) is that the criteria that determines "if" a source and inline citation is needed is: WP:Verifiability, In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. This does not present any confusion to me although some editors argue that verifiability actually means it is "out there somewhere" but not necessarily on the article. It is actually simple to me and wikilawyered by some to create confusion, All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material., removes any doubt (to me and many others) as to what the word "verifiability" actually means on Wikipedia as well as the given and accepted definition. The main reason to expect that demands of sourcing is fundamentally important is to ensure that material in the article is not original research, as well as the mandate of where the burden lies when content is contested. Wikipedia is advanced as being a lagging indicator of what has already been "reported" and the only way to to know this when reading content is by sourcing.
 * There is still bloat, like the current #7 citation (O'Sullivan, Michael (21 September 2001) gives a tie-in and memorial to Marlene Dietrich that is just not needed in the citation because the citation should provide WP:Text–source integrity. The Alfar, Paolo (11 October 2020) citation also has unnecessary extra "comments". If these "added" comments are important they can just as easily be incorporated into the article leaving the citation to stand as the verification and not backup article content. I feel the same about the need to bloat the "External links" section with either unnecessary links or possibly relevant links that would be better suited as a source for content. Because a link is considered primary is not a reason it cannot be used as a source. Anyway, thanks for reading my comments especially finding them helpful and your contributions.

Administrators' newsletter – April 2021
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021). Administrator changes
 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news
 * Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
 * Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news
 * When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem.
 * Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers.

Arbitration
 * A community consultation on the Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions procedure is open until April 25.

Inuit
I noticed that your edit to Inuit included adding dead link. That reference was already marked as dead and linked to https://web.archive.org/web/20110511084622/http://www.aurora-inn.mb.ca/borealis.html. Was there a particular reason for the template? I've not seen that done before when there is a link to Web Archive. And I was able to find the source for the quote. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:49, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , That was about a goof. I was "attempting" to identify tags, such as "Articles with dead external links from November 2016" and Articles with unsourced statements from July 2020, so I could look for references. I hid the quote because I figured there was a source. I was called into work and tried (and failed) to get to a closing point and missed the archive. Thanks for catching it, your message, AND finding a source. -- Otr500 (talk) 02:00, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Gnome-colors-list-remove.svg Husond • MattWade • MJCdetroit • Carioca • Vague Rant • Kingboyk • Thunderboltz • Gwen Gale • AniMate • SlimVirgin (deceased)

Guideline and policy news
 * Consensus was reached to deprecate Editor assistance.
 * Following a Request for Comment the Book namespace was deprecated.

Technical news
 * Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Arbitration
 * After a Clarification request, the Arbitration Committee modified Remedy 5 of the Antisemitism in Poland case. This means sourcing expectations are a discretionary sanction instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the Reliable Sources Noticeboard to discuss disputed sources.

Guideline and policy news
 * Consensus has been reached to delete all books in the book namespace. There was rough consensus that the deleted books should still be available on request at WP:REFUND even after the namespace is removed.
 * An RfC is open to discuss the next steps following a trial which automatically applied pending changes to TFAs.

Technical news
 * IP addresses of unregistered users are to be hidden from everyone. There is a rough draft of how IP addresses may be shown to users who need to see them. This currently details allowing administrators, checkusers, stewards and those with a new usergroup to view the full IP address of unregistered users. Editors with at least 500 edits and an account over a year old will be able to see all but the end of the IP address in the proposal. The ability to see the IP addresses hidden behind the mask would be dependent on agreeing to not share the parts of the IP address they can see with those who do not have access to the same information. Accessing part of or the full IP address of a masked editor would also be logged. Comments on the draft are being welcomed at the talk page.

Arbitration
 * The community authorised COVID-19 general sanctions have been superseded by the COVID-19 discretionary sanctions following a motion at a case request. Alerts given and sanctions placed under the community authorised general sanctions are now considered alerts for and sanctions under the new discretionary sanctions.

Then, you can move /Archive 58 to /Archive 1. Next, fix the settings at the top of this page by capitalizing the "O" in your username and setting the counter to 1. Alternatively, I can do it for you, but I didn't want to start messing around in your talkspace without your permission. Let me know if you want me to do it, or if you have any questions! --rchard2scout (talk) 13:35, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * PLEASE! please, please, fix it if you would like to. You have my permission to "mess around" as much as you need to fix this which will shorten the page. Kindly send me a note when you are done. Thank you, -- Otr500 (talk) 22:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Alright, I've fixed it. The archiving bot should come along somewhere between 0:00 and ~7:15 UTC. So now all we need to do is wait 24 hours, and your talkpage should be archived. --rchard2scout (talk) 08:09, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, -- Otr500 (talk) 08:20, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * It worked, and most of it has been archived. The rest will be archived when it's old enough. I have removed the collapse template at the top, because it's no longer necessary, and I've added some undated/unsigned templates to certain sections, so that they'll be archived correctly as well. --rchard2scout (talk) 07:46, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
