Passing Strange
Hi. It is almost ready to move up, but not quite, I think. See this, for ideas on how to expand it: WikiProject Musical Theatre/Article Structure. See also Hair (musical), for ideas. There is very little information about the musical itself. What types of music are used? What kind of band accompanied it? The plot summary should name the principal musical numbers as it goes, as described in the link above. The critical reaction section only discusses two reviews. There should be a couple more discussed, and they should not all be positive. Also, there should be a very brief discussion of the reviews off-Broadway, or else we should remove the statement that they were positive. What happened at the box office? Why did it close so soon? There should be a mention that In the Heights (as well as strong revivals of South Pacific and Gypsy) took most of the Tony Awards. There must be lots of published articles that describe this show. Obviously, you don't need to do all of this to get to C-class, I think just a little bit more high-quality stuff and references will push it over into C-class. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Jacinto Quirarte
Wow, thanks for writing to me about your uncle! That is just about the coolest thing that's happened to me on Wikipedia... talking to someone who is connected to a person I wrote about. :)

I chose to write about him because he really is so important to Chicano art history and scholarship on that topic is sorely under-represented on Wikipedia. He seems like he was a very driven person... I love his cross-country trip to interview Mexican-American artists. It showed amazing dedication.

I'd love to see anything you'd care to send my way and the photos would be most welcome. If you have copyright to them, it's a snap to add.

You made my day. :D Megalibrarygirl (talk) 03:08, 10 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Good! You made my day too. :) Seriously--I was so pleased to see your article. He does deserve to be on Wikipedia, for all the reasons you list here. I'm an editor too and I uploaded a photo I took of him in 2001--it's on the article--it's of him in Jerome during a reunion we all went to. He was an incredibly focused, intelligent, funny, endearing person--plus he was very kind--an unusual blend of personality traits. And he was the only academic in the family--all of his own doing. A remarkable fellow. I have the hard copy of Archives of American Art Journal and I'll look through some of his books for more information on his studies. I just wish he could have stuck around longer. I miss him. Thanks so much. --Utilizer (talk) 05:12, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * LOL. I just read your post over at my talk page. I think there's a way to tag people... I just don't know how to do it. I'd be happy to talk to your aunt. San Antonio rules. I love visiting there. :D I'm on blogger too, but I rarely write. You can also tweet me on Twitter @megalibrarygirl. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:46, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Phyllis Diller
Hi, I see and appreciate most of your edits. But please collaborate. Simply reverting my edit to remove material you did not like in the lead ended up having the effect of restoring two unnecessary tags. The refimprove tag was simply ianappropriate given I went through the article and as is preferred, tagged the specific claims that needed support. Also, your reversion ended up restoring a "page needs improvement" tag to a section, not a whole page, which was again tagged individually. I am going to go back and re tag the article, and remove the section tags.

I also suggest you read WP:MOSLEAD. The lead is supposed to recap the main points of an article, in effect to serve as a mini-article. Given Diller's voice work was an important part of her career, it belongs in the lead, and should not be removed as restating what is in the text. That is what the lead does--it summarizes the text. In fact, the lead needs to be expanded per the MOSLEAD guidelines, not be cut down to an introductory sentence.

Overall, though, good work, and I look forward to collaborating with you on the article. μηδείς (talk) 01:40, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

"Women are everywhere"
Hi Utilizer. I'm an editor of the Italian Wikipedia. I'm trying to participate to an IEG with the project "Women are everywhere". You will find the draft at this link https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Women_are_everywhere It would be great if you could have a look at it. I need any kind of suggestion or advice to improve it. Support or endorsement would be fantastic. Many thanks,--Kenzia (talk) 09:02, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

 * A very belated thanks @JSFarman. Haven't been editing here as much in the last few years and I appreciate this. Women in rock journalism is an ongoing project for me--they rarely have clips about *themselves* and it can be a challenge putting a biography together with that limitation. Take care. - Utilizer Utilizer (talk) 19:33, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Matt Jaffe


The article Matt Jaffe has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "irrelevant person, not even famous. all the sources are smaller local sites. he probably created this to promote his music. he has under 15k monthly listeners"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I'm notifying you on behalf of User:209.34.103.110 who nominated the article for proposed deletion. — AP 499D25  (talk)  03:40, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
