User talk:Phantomred

Hi there. I see you are a member of the WP Magic project. In February I proposed some updates to the David Copperfield article here. But the Request Edits Queue seems to be stalled right now, so I was wondering if an editor here might be interested in reviewing my proposals? (I can’t do it myself because of a COI.) Thanks very much. MagicTech1902 (talk) 16:25, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

The Magic Castle
I've removed the Good Article template you added to The Magic Castle as it hasn't passed a review. If you want to nominate it for Good Article status, please have a look at WP:GAN. I'm happy to help improve it but I can't review it myself as I've already updated the article. PriceDL (talk) 12:25, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

List of patter songs
I reverted your addition to the list for now -- your changes are saved in the page history. Linking to Amazon is not helpful, since the Amazon cite does not give a link to the text on the page that you are referencing. If the sources cited actually *state that* each song you wish to add to the list is a noteworthy patter song, then please use the article's Talk page to quote the text the relevant passage from the source. Then you can re-add the song to the list with the bibliographic citation to the book or other reliable source, without linking to a commercial vendor cite. I think the current list needs to be *reduced* so that it contains only the most famous songs that have been identified as "patter songs" by reliable sources, rather than adding more items to the list, unless they are of especial note. Thanks, and happy holidays! -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:04, 18 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is about sources, not the background of contributors, which is totally irrelevant here. Even if you were Sheldon Harnick, you would need to be able to demonstrate that your sources verify your assertions, and your contributions would need to be of good quality. Most of your sources checked out, and I've fixed your cite formatting. However, you incorrectly transcribed Laird's first name (don't worry, I fixed it), and you offered one source that did not directly support your assertion for Mary Poppins. And even if it did, The Life I Lead is not a patter song – talk-singing is not the same as patter. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:53, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Feedback Request
Hi there! I have recently made a request for an assessment of the article Puppetry of the Penis on WikiProject Theatre. I have been editing this article for over a month, adding almost 3000 words, new sections, an infobox, media and more references for verifiability. I noticed you were a very active (and helpful) editor of WikiProject Theatre, and was wondering if you had the time if you could have a look at the article and provide me any feedback. Any general feedback would be much appreciated and possibly an assessment of the article for importance and quality. Thank you very much. Rubyredgirl (talk) 10:28, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
