User talk:FMSky/Archive 6

Saturday Night Wrist

Hey FMSky, just wanted to let you know that the user was correct in removing the genres and was not a vandal. Ultimate Guitar is inadmissible as a source unless the genre was described in the context of a staff review, as opposed to a sidebar (this was the case) or user review. I know you meant well, and I watch all of Deftones' album pages, so I wanted to kindly clear that up. dannymusiceditor ^oops 03:00, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

DABRL

Hi, you made this revert citing MOS:DABRL. However, MOS:DABRL specifically states: "Red links should not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information. The example given in DABRL also goes on to state: "If "flibbygibby" is not mentioned in the noodle article, or there is no linked article at all, as in the toy example, it is not a valid entry". In this case, the red link (Settle the Score (band)) is the only link in the entry, and there is no link to an existing article (blue link), contrary to MOS:DABRL.

Edit about Cherry Pie Picache

Cherry Pie Picache's role in Batang Quiapo is a main character. 2001:4451:1230:3600:DD08:8211:9988:A804 (talk) 12:21, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

WP:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Sputnikmusic.com

Hello, I see you reverted my edits at We Are Chaos again due to this source's presence under the reliable sources listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources. I wanted to let you know that I have just started a discussion here questioning whether or not Sputnikmusic is a reliable source, if you would like to make any arguments for or against its use going forward. JeffSpaceman (talk) 20:47, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

It literally says it is reliable https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Sources --FMSky (talk) 21:52, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

I know that, and I am questioning its validity at the link I have provided. It is a self-published source that hosts a lot of user-generated content, so I don't see why it holds this status, which is exactly why I have opened up discussion here. If you have anything to argue for its continued inclusion, feel free to comment there. JeffSpaceman (talk) 21:56, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Masterson RFC

Hi, I saw that you reverted my edit in the Danny Masterson Request For Comments, but you didn't say why you reverted it: can you please explain? Thanks, Chillowack (talk) 17:12, 14 September 2023 (UTC) This one? https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?diff=1175316857&oldid=1175292933&title=Talk:Danny_Masterson

Cause that looked like vandalism tbh, why did you remove all this stuff lol --FMSky (talk) 17:50, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry: you're saying my comment that I would omit the word "rapist" from the lede looked like "vandalism"? Remove what stuff? I didn't "remove" anything, I just added my vote. Why did you delete it?Chillowack (talk) 18:22, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

you mass deleted a bunch of stuff. click https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?diff=1175316857&oldid=1175292933&title=Talk:Danny_Masterson --FMSky (talk) 18:37, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Like I said: I didn't delete anything. All I did was add my vote. You are mistaken.Chillowack (talk) 18:40, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

its shown in the edit history. accept it and move on --FMSky (talk) 19:01, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't "accept" it because I didn't do it. But I will move on to keep the peace.Chillowack (talk) 00:08, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

FYI this is a common bug — Sometimes it publishes your comment but also deletes a bunch of stuff for no reason. I've had it happen too. –dlthewave ☎ 02:17, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Candace Owens

Hello FMSky. I moved the info on Candace Owens blog back up to the "Degree180 and anti-conservative blog" section (she did not write the article about Trump's penis which seems to be implied in the language used) and added some language to the "Donald Trump" section noting her shift in attitude. I also restored the copy of the actual article which is useful. Per the archives, there is not record she wrote any articles about Trump.Patapsco913 (talk) 11:42, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Paid placement blog/magazine

Saw your re-addition of the "vents" blog/"magazine"/whatever again. Prior discussions are here: 2016, February of this year and this month. Each evaluation was clearly that it is not reliable. This site is almost exclusively paid placement and spam, there are hundreds of ads on the usual sites for blackhat placement, and there is absolutely no indication of competent editorial control or disclosure of advertorials. Utter spam like this is common; I've removed the source hundreds of times. If you're seeing something that was missed by everyone else, let me know and we can start another conversation at WP:RSN with the alternate view. Sam Kuru (talk) 01:21, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

RFC sig

Hi FMSky. I think you need to add a signature to the RFC proposal at Talk:What Is a Woman?. The bot that copies it over to the central listings tries to grab everything before the first sig, and right now it's including your !vote. I'd recommend putting one right after "(or similar wording)". Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 12:50, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Done, thx --FMSky (talk) 12:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Question

Have you setup a user email? Example, if you look at my home page then you will see a link on the screen to "email this user". Springee (talk) 19:09, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

no, why? --FMSky (talk) 19:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Sometimes offline discussions helpful when discussing wikipedia without putting comments out in public. Note that a user can email you via the system and your email address is not shared. It's only shared if you reply. Springee (talk) 19:47, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Arent admins still able to read it though?--FMSky (talk) 20:03, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

No, emails are private. Springee (talk) 20:07, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I might actually consider it then --FMSky (talk) 20:47, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I think it's a good idea. Springee (talk) 20:59, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I believe checkusers can see if an email has been sent, but not the contents. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:59, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

MrBeast AI upscale

Replacement here wasn't a question of whether I'm a fan of AI upscaling, there was a small but strongly expressed consensus to add AI upscaling software should generally not be used to increase the resolution or quality of an old or low-resolution image. Original historical images should always be used in place of AI upscaled versions. If an AI-upscaled image is used in an article, this fact should be noted in its caption. to MOS:IMAGES last month.

That might benefit from another iteration or exception or a wider discussion, but that's what the MOS is saying right now. Belbury (talk) 17:19, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Mark Walhberg

Hello FMSky, my last revision was NOT misleading.. If you simply looked and read in the infobox Mark is indeed businessman and former rapper. Nothing was vandilism/misleading nothing. Kindly read before making such edits Juli Wolfe (talk) 18:49, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Jimmy Fallon

Hello FMSky, you appear to have removed my edit on Jimmy Fallon's page. How do the accusations of him abusing his staffers relate to criticism and editorial bias; I see no connection between criticism and a head that should the allegations from the main Tonight Show paragraph in his page.Radiohist (talk) 09:58, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Thats not removed, just in another section, see WP:CSECTION --FMSky (talk) 10:32, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Request for Ronaldo

Hi, thanks for updating the article but there is one problem, in the box, in caption section please mention the cup or league and the team is playing against. You can use this description for the image: Ronaldo playing for Al Nassr against Persepolis in September 2023 91.98.35.147 (talk) 03:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Your revert

Hello, I hope you are well. In what way was my close "too early"? Seven days have passed since the original listing. Thanks, Edward-Woodrow • talk 14:26, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Cause only two ppl have responded so far --FMSky (talk) 14:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Given that that no minimum participation is required for requested moves, and I saw rough consensus not to move, I boldly closed the discussion. Edward-Woodrow • talk 14:35, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

The Departed

Hi, how do you mean it sounded better before? It said approval rating of 91% before. Nowhere on the rotten tomatoes site is it given approval rating. It is called tomatometer, which is the percentage of critics who have given a positive review for the film. Also, the number of critics has risen now, check the site. Plus I have added the percentage of critics who have given the film a positive review on metacritic site, which was missing before. Cinephile4ever 14:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Your Understanding of WP:FOX

Hey, I saw your edit to the Tim Ballard article and wanted to provide you with a brief correction on your understanding of WP:FOX - refer to Note r. which states that "Local Fox affiliates are considered distinct from Fox News, and are covered by WP:NEWSORG." THese local affiliate stations are generally unbiased in their reporting and are distinct from the national network. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 16:01, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Watch carefully for reference removal

Respect your efforts to keep Wikipedia's infoboxes pristine, but in this case, it broke a reference elsewhere on the page. Just have a look to see if there's any cite errors in the preview before you cut a is fairly lengthy, and I read it again, but found no mention of a year in 1970's. To find the birth year, is it a matter of doing some math among the varous timelines reported on? Or was there another reason the birth year should be in there? Or has my editing there just been confusing. Thanks. _signed, Willondon (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

The article says he was 40 as of 10 December 2018, so I used the template "age as of date" in the infobox FMSky (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Ah. I see. Thanks. _signed, Willondon (talk) 17:12, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

But actually i just realized that this literally puts his bd at 10 dec 1978 so the template isnt even needed --FMSky (talk) 17:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

References

Isis

Objection. I cited multiple sources to put progressive metal there. That was me who put them there in the first place. How is that insufficient? I understand we're not to put everything in there at risk of overcrowding, but there was extra support offered. I'd like a more thorough discussion than "only most common genres for the infobox", because, well, I'd argue that it is. dannymusiceditor ^oops 04:33, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Alright, I just feel they are almost exclusively described as post-metal, and that progressive metal and the others cited (metalcore, wtf?) are needlessly missleading, especially since they're just thrown in without any context --FMSky (talk) 04:35, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Though it matters not in the end, you wouldn't agree that Isis' sound owes a debt to Tool, groundbreakers in progressive rock and progressive metal? In any case, I'm glad we could come to a resolution. dannymusiceditor ^oops 04:42, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

WP:FALSETITLE

Hello, I see you have reverted my edits to Dirt (Alice in Chains album). Would it be alright if the definite articles get added back in without the commas? I think a lot of people would say, "Do you know the singer Layne Staley?," not, "Do you know singer Layne Staley?" To me, it's ordinary English. But what's your issue with this wording? Please let me know, I would like to hear your thoughts before I make any further edits of that sort to the page. JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:14, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Tbh, I think it sounds incredibly stupid and unnatural, and I dont think someone would talk like this in real life: "He admired the singer Layne Staley's lyrics and voice, and the lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell's guitar riffs." -- as opposed to "He admired vocalist Layne Staley's lyrics and voice and lead guitarist Jerry Cantrell's guitar riffs" --FMSky (talk) 07:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I disagree, to me it's perfectly normal, natural English -- a lot of people in real life would say, "The singer Layne Staley/the guitarist Jerry Cantrell," not, "Singer Layne Staley/guitarist Jerry Cantrell." This is why I add definite articles, because it is standard English. It's removing the definite article that sounds clunky, as it is a type of journalese known as a false title.

I know it says this on the page I linked in the subject line, but do these sentences that use the definite article feel stupid or unnatural to you? And if so, why?:

The dog, Rex, was a golden retriever.
The sister, Jessica, arrived by car.
The newest restaurant, the Golden Duck, opened last year. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:43, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Well yes it depends obviously, in these cases it sounds perfectly normal. In the ones I mentioned though it comes across as awkward. Imo these changes would have to be evaluated on a case by case basis FMSky (talk) 00:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Just so you know, I have removed the descriptions of Staley and Cantrell from that section of the article, due to the fact that it points out that Jerden admired Staley's lyrics and voice and Cantrell's guitar riffs. Personally, I think that their roles in the band should not have to be pointed out when they are explained immediately afterwards -- "He admired the vocalist's lyrics and voice and the lead guitarist's guitar riffs" seems kind of redundant, when it could just be written as, "He admired Staley's lyrics and voice and Cantrell's guitar riffs." To me, that sentence works better. But how do you feel? I wanted to bring this here as we are discussing the article in question. JeffSpaceman (talk) 02:54, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes i agree, that definitely seems like a sensible change --FMSky (talk) 04:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Photo ID?

When you uploaded this photo, on what basis did you judge that it was actually Obrecht and not one of the other people mentioned on the Alchetron page? Someone has since changed the caption in the article to indicate that it's a photo of Obrecht's assistant. DS (talk) 01:37, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

I've removed the file from the page and tagged it for deletion since it isn't clear if its really him --FMSky (talk) 13:09, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Yitzchak Mirilashvili

Hello FMSky. Would you be willing to look at the pending edit request on Yitzchak Mirilashvili's Talk page? The language of the Philanthropy section, specifically the first paragraph of that section, includes excessive detail most of which has nothing to do with Mirilashvili himself. Furthermore, the language is not-NPOV (suggesting that making charitable donations is a crime), and the resolution of the investigation- that Mirilashvili was found to have done nothing wrong- is not included. I have posted my suggested language on the Talk page. I'd be grateful for your time and assistance in implementing these changes. Thank you, January2424 (talk) 13:40, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Dirt (Alice in Chains album)

Sorry about removing the false titles, I admit I shouldn't have per WP:STATUSQUO. I'm sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. I will state here though that I have changed "5x" to "quintuple," and removed Koontz's occupation (as well as an unnecessary comma), due to the fact that I find "quintuple" to be more encyclopedic than the abbreviated "5x," while the description of Koontz as a horror novelist is unnecessary (the fact that he is an author is established by the fact that it mentions Staley was reading the book -- what kind of an author Koontz is and what genre he writes within is unnecessary to the article as a whole, especially when the link to Koontz's article is right there to verify this).

Do you believe these two changes are alright? I'll refrain from adding "the," since I understand your reasoning, but are you OK with these? JeffSpaceman (talk) 23:03, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Undid revision on Mimi Mariani

What's up. I undid your revision that changed the short description of Mimi Mariani, as I felt that the information you deleted was essential-enough to be included in the short description. Plus, with it included, it's still pretty short, so that would fit and look nice in the shortness of the short description.

If you disagree, tell me, and we can come to a consensus. Coulomb1 (talk) 15:44, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Mathcore

The edit you made on the article about mathcore needs to be undone because you took out genres such as hardcore punk, avant-garde metal, and replaced them with industrial and death metal. You also put that the genre was coming from post-hardcore which is just not true. Mathcore is a direct offshoot of metalcore and its #1 stylistic origin, not post-hardcore. That being said, mathcore is not influenced primarily by post-hardcore. Death metal makes no sense whatsoever. Your source is unreliable. Figurila (talk) 00:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

the edits were sourced. Go ahead and change it if you can find a better source.

I've reverted it for now but the article isn't adequately sourced rn

Sorry if I came off a bit rough with that, I just couldn’t view the source on my device for some reason, so I thought it just was some biased edit hence why I made the talk page post calling the site unreliable. I can find the correct sources for the metalcore genres. Sorry abt that! Figurila (talk) 01:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Atomic Heart

I don't mind at all that you reverted my edit there. I did what I did because it's been tagged. You reverted my edit because you think it's not good enough, and you may well be right. But people are complaining. They don't think the article is good enough as it is, so do better than just reverting my edit. Do better than I did. Otherwise it just ends up in the backlog...

New York–style pizza

You changed the en dashes to hyphens in that article. Perhaps it was a good-faith edit, but the en dash is useful here due to it being a compound modifier. Electricmaster (talk) 08:56, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
