Reminder that flagged Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse as a potential article in the fall & I should circle back to that! Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. ;) I'm not sure if Indestructoboy is a topic you would want to work on, but I just added a bunch to it. BOZ (talk) 19:29, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

March 2024
Don't know if this one would interest you, but I started Luke Crane (game designer) today. BOZ (talk) 17:55, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

How are you with working on Starfinder/Pathfinder releases? Do you have anything that would help get Draft:Starfinder Pact Worlds into better shape? BOZ (talk) 19:28, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

April 2024
I'm not sure if I asked about these before, but do you see anything that can help improve Draft:Red Wizard or Draft:Harpers (Forgotten Realms)? BOZ (talk) 22:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I built up the Red Wizard draft a bit and moved it back to article space, but for now the Harpers draft is getting there but still needs more sourcing I think. BOZ (talk) 16:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

May 2024
Would Draft:Coyote and Crow be worthy of your time and effort? I saw someone posting about it and found the idea fascinating at least. BOZ (talk) 19:58, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

June 2024
Thank you for participating in the sourcing drive! :) I was always thinking of adding more gaming-related articles to the requests portion if people worked through many of the items I added, but you don't have to wait for me if you're looking for more to tackle. :) You can look under the sections titled "Unsourced passages need footnotes " on the cleanup listings for any WikiProject, specifically of course these three:  :) BOZ (talk) 06:53, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I've been doing a lot releated to the actual play ecosystem lately so it was a nice way to get out of that without having to spend too much time on any one article (so much of the cleanup in the ttrpg space requires a lot of research & rewriting). Sariel Xilo (talk) 22:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * In case you happen to run out of other topics to work on with this drive, I went through the above lists and pulled out a portion of the articles there. I don't know that I will add any more articles to that drive since people aren't pulling off the request list too often anymore. I did not list very many bio articles, and very few BLP articles, but I figure that is an area which can always use some attention and better sourcing, so here is the list I came up with.

 * I figure anything you add to these not only improves articles badly in need of it, but also helps out with their notability. :) BOZ (talk) 20:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've fallen down the X-Men comics rabbit hole; I'm surprised that so many of these haven't been through AfD since many rely on primary sources and have no critical commentary/reception sections. Sariel Xilo (talk) 21:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I think Draft:2023 Origins Award winners is ready to go as soon as a secondary source also announces the winners. Feel free to update & publish if you spot a source before me! Sariel Xilo (talk) 19:15, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Born Again
Hello Sariel, thank you for your contributions to the Daredevil: Born Again article and discussion. I am a bit concerned with this editor in particular for their behavior with this article, as this is the third time they have engaged in repeatedly restoring their preferred edits and accused me of "ownership" and "personal attacks" (which there's is starting to seem to be more akin to) and other acts for upholding the status quo against their mass and repeated changes to word use, which I admittedly didn't think would be much of an issue, though here we are. I already cautioned them of their behavior having a potential personal bias directed towards me and my editing, so I just wanted to make you aware of that as I am weighing my options with how to proceed with this. Thank you again for your work. Trailblazer101 (talk) 17:57, 8 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the ping! I've minimally interacted with the Born Again article (mostly copying content to other articles such as Deborah Ann Woll) but I put it on my watchlist mostly because of that editor's tenor in the talk discussions (you followed the correct process in addressing vandalism including requesting page protection & they accused you of edit warring). Their sarcastic response to me seems to be on the border of uncivil but at a quick glance, this doesn't appear to be common in their behavior on other talk pages so no idea what's going on. While the MCU articles tend to be more rigid than others because of consensus developed within the MCU project (which can be somewhat opaque to unfamiliar editors), I don't think you edit in such a way that's ownership & you're fairly clear in your edit summaries about your actions (cite policies when reverting, etc). Hopefully everyone assumes good faith moving forward! Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:28, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reassurance and your perspective! It means a lot to get a fresh take on this all. Trailblazer101 (talk) 19:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * This isn't really directed at any single editor but I think the only area of improvement really needed is within the MCU project itself. A much clearer manual of style which cites local consensuses would be incredibly useful; it would be awesome if the project had a table like the one here which shows how consensus has developed. For example, the MCU project has a really strong style preference on citations and when I was working on some of the Ms. Marvel related articles in 2022, editors were annoyed that I wasn't adhering to that. Some editors would say it was local consensus but didn't link to specific discussions (it was mostly, "look at the other articles"). I believe at the time I suggested to some editors that it should be noted on the project page but there's still no guidance on the preferred citation style under the project's section on sources. For the most part, I've limited editing MCU articles because even as an experienced editor I've had trouble figuring out the local consensus. Just food for thought! Sariel Xilo (talk) 20:20, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That is something worth looking into, so I'll see about bringing it up to the taskforce to better articulate the local consensuses we've developed over time for unfamiliar editors. Trailblazer101 (talk) 21:57, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Careful
It's important to distinguish between "censured" and "censored", especially in this sort of context. I'd have fixed it myself but I'm not comfortable with editing someone else's posts here. DS (talk) 21:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Dyslexia strikes again (reading a sentence on people being censured for censorship probably led to the flip)! While I try to catch typos & fix them before anyone responds, typos happen. Since editors have already responded to my comment, I followed the steps outlined at WP:TALK due to your message here. However, I don't particularly think it was necessary especially as the editors who responded seemed to understand the context even with a minor typo. Sariel Xilo (talk) 21:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Critical Role campaign two
Hey, just wanted to say I'm sad to see that your FLC didn't pass. If you ever nominate it again or take it to FAC, don't hesitate to drop me a ping and I'll happily support it again. Best of luck! The Doctor Who (talk) 02:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks! It's a long article so I think that's why it has struggled with getting reviews. I'll definitely circle back to you when I renominate in a few months; not sure how long to wait when it wasn't declined for content reasons. Sariel Xilo (talk) 03:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Cameron Stewart conflict
Hello. Is WlKlCZECH11 associated with Rsparkles? It seems awfully strange and seems like WP:SOCK, especially considering they replied on behalf of Rsparkles when their name was not mentioned. It also gave the illusion of support and they posted as an uninvolved commentator. Wiiformii (talk) 02:26, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * My assumption is that it is a sock (possibly also the same person as the IP editor) given their explanations are nearly identical. It would be great if you could flag that at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring and/or make a report at WP:SPI. I need to sign off for a bit but I can probably circle back to this later tonight or tomorrow. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:43, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Avoided redirects
PopVerse and Popverse can't both be avoided double redirects to each other. One of them is a miscapitalization. If I've got it backwards, please fix that. Dicklyon (talk) 15:41, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Moved discussion to Talk:Popverse. Sariel Xilo (talk) 16:15, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Sariel Xilo! Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:21, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
 * We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
 * If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Wizards of the Coast

 * Hi Sariel Xilo, I've moved a little text to the article's talk page because it isn't directly relevant there. I'd earlier removed another short passage but found that text is directly relevant so I've note that on the talk. Regarding shortening the history section, I think the content there is relevant to the company, though separating business dealings from publications might be possible; if the section becomes too large, you might consider summarizing and splitting it off to its own article. Also, the lede could be expanded to more-fully summarize the article's content. These suggestions, however, are beyond the scope of the copy-editor. Good luck with the article and cheers,  Baffle☿gab  04:22, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Help with Tom Taylor (writer)
Hi, I noticed your work on various comic related articles and think you do amazing work. The Krakoan Age article is especially incredible. I was wondering if you would be able to help expand and better organize the comic book writer Tom Taylor's article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Taylor_(writer)? I noticed the biography of his career is badly arranged and not in chronological order nor updated with his recent projects. Overall it is not as updated or detailed as other comic book creators with his similar level of status. You seem to have experience with working on articles of comic book creators, I thought I would alert you to this one that needs help. 71.163.19.164 (talk) 04:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
