Law firm page review

Hi Melanie. I noticed you participated in another law firm page and thought you might have an interest in helping at Armstrong Teasdale. I requested some changes here a month ago and was looking for a volunteer willing to review and consider them. Mkriegel4141 (talk) 17:26, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I replied at the article's talk page. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:16, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

A little intervention

Hi, Melanie. Hope all's well. When you get a chance could you have a look at this edit in the Talk:Sex#Sex: Other odds & ends thread? Such rhetoric rolls off my back with neither ill effect nor urge to reply, but I'm concerned not only about its immediate effect on others (including CycoMa, who might need a timeout), but also on prospects who might be the target of similar outbursts. So, no - I'm not asking for a ban or block, but if you could amplify Mathglot's warning on CycoMa's talk page that might do the trick. Cheers. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 04:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. It looks to me as if Mathglot's admonitions may have made the point sufficiently for now. I don't see a need for admin intervention at this point. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:39, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

AKL

Dear Melanie,

This page AKL is currently locked with Semi-protection. Updates to the page were made during this 'Lock' period, can this latest good version be backed up or saved before the Lock protection expires tomm please ? Appreciate your help. Thank you so much. Adapongaiya (talk) 20:43, 7 May 2021 (UTC).

Adapongaiya, there is no need to "back up" a Wikipedia page; every previous page is still available in the History. Let's see what happens when the semi-protection expires. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:41, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

Melanie, sure. thanks so much for this update. Adapongaiya (talk) 16:59, 8 May 2021 (UTC).

Review New Proposed Content

Hi, i wanted to create an article about Nikka Starr, can you help me with that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itisthebio (talk • contribs)

Probably not. After a quick search I doubt if Nikka Starr meets the requirements for an article here, namely that they have been been written about - received significant coverage - from multiple WP:Reliable sources. The requirements are spelled out at WP:Notability, and in particular at WP:NBIO and WP:NMUSIC. And I doubt if you are in a position to write an article yourself, since you have made fewer than 20 edits in your time here. But if you would like to ask someone to write an article about her - or help you write one - you can suggest her name at Wikipedia:Requested articles. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. -- MelanieN (talk) 21:18, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Chopin protection

Hi, can you please re-protect Chopin? There have already been at least 7–9 vandalism-related edits in the past week or so... Aza24 (talk) 23:42, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I gave it another year of semi-protection - based on its long history of needing protection and its status as a Featured Article. BTW we are talking about the article Frédéric Chopin, not the redirect Chopin. -- MelanieN (talk) 22:40, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Kate Moss

Hi, I noticed that Kate Moss has been indefinitely semi-protected after previously being PC protected but the PC settings were never reset. Would you kindly reset the pending settings changes on that page? Thanks. Skip Malone (talk) 15:41, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

This message was brought to you by yet another WP:HAND sock of User:CalebHughes, whose IP socks were responsible for the vandalism causing the Moss article to be protected. Favonian (talk) 15:50, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the alert, Favonian. But no matter who they are (or were), their request was justified. I have removed the PC protection since the article is indefinitely semi-protected. -- MelanieN (talk) 15:53, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

That's as it should be, but it's good to be aware of his MO which also involves requesting protection (at RfPP) of articles that he vandalizes. Favonian (talk) 15:57, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

But how will I recognize him at RFPP? Actually don't tell me here. If there are telltale signs to recognize him by, you might email them to me. -- MelanieN (talk) 16:24, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

RfC

I see you participate in this discussion. You may want to comment at Talk:Southern Methodist University#Image gallery of former students. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:04, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Donald Trump

I've seen you provide helpful outside opinions on the talk page here, and was wondering if you may chime in on the section regarding the Middle East agreements. I have run into two editors who, like they have multiple times before, continue blocking edits based on their personal opinion and provide no logical response to why WP:SS and reliable sources should be ignored here. I fear that it is a matter of personal opinion that the section should remain on the negative aspects of his foreign policy that is leading to us not being able to summarize well here - but I am hoping that you can provide your opinion or guidance on the topic regardless of what that may be. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez (User/say hi!) 23:20, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Citation Needed

• @MelanieN: I am bit new to Wikipedia but have created a couple of articles. You seem like a pro from your Talk and profile page. I need your help, I saw this person on wikipedia where someone has placed a lot of Citation Needed tags (another mod I think). I wanted to know from you if there's some time limit or can I remove those sentences? But I don't want to get ban or something. I tried searching for the citations but couldn't find it. What should be done next? Cyanex (talk) 18:58, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Cyanex. If you can't find any citations, there is really nothing you can do except leave the tags in place and see if someone else can find something. I just did a quick search and I couldn't find any acceptable sources. Wikipedia requires Reliable Sources - published sources with editorial control and a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. All the sources I found - instagram, twitter, youtube, linkedin - are not accepted as sources here. Based on the one Reliable Source in the article, Sportstar, she clearly is what the article says she is - a rhythmic gymnastics champion and accredited judge. But the article does need more sources, especially for dramatic claims like holding a Guinness world record - in a search I couldn't even find evidence that Guinness actually has such a record. It's possible - probable - that there are non-English sources available about her. Maybe one of our Hindi speakers could find sources. @QEDK, Winged Blades of Godric, and Titodutta: Any interest in looking up a few sources for Akshata Shete? -- MelanieN (talk) 15:32, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Law firm page review - checking in

Hi MelanieN. I just wanted to check-in on this and if you had any interest in reviewing the proposed content? No rush. Best regards. Mkriegel4141 (talk) 16:05, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm pretty tied up with Real Life things right now but I will try to take a look at it later this week. -- MelanieN (talk) 19:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Melanie. No rush, but wanted to see if this was still on your radar. Let me know if you aren’t going to have the time. Mkriegel4141 (talk) 13:40, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi MelanieN. Just checking in on this regarding the infobox of the Armstrong Teasdale page per our prior conversation. Mkriegel4141 (talk) 01:16, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

A plate of Baingan Bharta for you

		A plate of Baingan Bharta for you
		Here is a plate of Baingan Bharta for you. Baingan bharta is a part of the national cuisines of both India and Pakistan. It is primarily a vegetarian dish that comprises bharta (minced vegetables) made from eggplant (baingan) which is grilled over charcoal or direct fire, to infuse the dish with a smoky flavor. Thank you. Titodutta (talk) 22:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC) For more Indian dishes, visit the Kitchen of WikiProject India.

Thank you, Tito, that looks delicious. I'm not familiar with Baingan Bharta but I'll have to try to find local sources for it. -- MelanieN (talk) 02:20, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
