Never Have I Ever (TV series) - you deleted my note about product placement

Rich Smith, I feel that the business model(s) used in a film or TV production is important and interesting encyclopedia content. Media literacy curricula (e.g. US Common Core) highlight the importance of understanding the motivations that impel the creators of a text (in this case a TV series). Also, we have a clear precedent for documenting the business dynamics of production when we consider the inclusion of production budgets and revenue figures in Wikipedia articles on film and TV works. In this case, readers may be interested to know many decisions regarding set and prop design were inflected by marketing deals in addition to entertainment and artistic considerations. I would like to ask that you restore the sentence and citation I added, and please LMK if you have editorial suggestions to make this economic dynamic more clear to readers.

Genuinely out of curiosity

Is there a reason why the other participant in the coffee enema edit war was not warned about edit warring? I know "the old editor should know better" but the new editor might not know. Primefac (talk) 23:34, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Primefac: No idea, I've bumped in to this while on the IRC. We've given advice on there to the new editor - - RichT|C|E-Mail 23:39, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Fair enough, thanks. Primefac (talk) 23:46, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
How, as a non user of IRC, do I find out what you advised? -Roxy, the PROD. . wooF 05:32, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Sarwani

Hello Rich Smith. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sarwani, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is an article about a tribe, not a person. A7 doesn't apply, and neither does the corporation one. Needs to go to AfD. Thank you. GedUK  08:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

 

Hi Rich Smith, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)
