Request: Life and Career[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hi, this section is needs to be updated to properly reflect Daisy's recent career work. Additionally, the subject would appreciate if it focused on her career as opposed to early life/ family life.

"In 2023, her “cult classic” film, Party Girl had a theatrical re-release. She also returned to the Emmy nominated drama Yellowjackets helming the season premiere and penultimate episode, joined the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, worked with Jennifer Garner on the hit thriller, The Last Thing He Told Me and directed the season 2 finale of the horror/comedy Shining Vale with Courtney Cox and Greg Kinnear."

Here are some sources:

https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/party-girl-parker-posey-4k-restoration-1234821657/

Are there editors who can assist with this? (Pinging @GRuban who responded to previous edit request). I will not direct edit this page because I have a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest; I formally worked with Daisy, as I disclosed on my user page. MNW2009 (talk) 22:17, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another bit of information that should be included:

"The 1995 Sundance Film Festival marked the debut of von Scherler Mayer’s critically acclaimed Party Girl, which she co-wrote with Harry Birckmayer. The film launched “indie queen” Parker Posey and led to a Fox television series. In 2023, Fun City Editions issued a 4K Restoration Blu-Ray of Party Girl. The reissue sold out, ran on the Criterion Channel and led to a theatrical re-release of this "cult classic" in art houses across the US, and in Canada and the UK. Party Girl screened at the Museum of Modern Art and BAM in NY and is part of a permanent exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York."

I also think including some of her more recent and popular TV shows up top before "Life and Career" would align with a lot of other biographies on Wikipedia.

"She has directed the feature films Party Girl, Madeline, The Guru and Some Girl(s). Her television directing credits include: Yellowjackets, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Last Thing He Told Me, Shining Vale, Inventing Anna, Made for Love, Y The Last Man, The Walking Dead, Bosch, Get Shorty, Ray Donovan, House of Lies, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Halt and Catch Fire, Mozart in the Jungle, Orange is the New Black, Shameless and Mad Med."

Unable to review
Your edit request could not be reviewed because the request is not formatted correctly.

The citation style predominantly used by the Daisy von Scherler Mayer article appears to be Citation Style 1. The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.^[a] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.)
Citation ref tags have not been placed within the requested text indicating which portions of the text the source is referencing. (See WP:INTEGRITY.)

In the collapsed section below titled Request edit examples, I have illustrated two: The first shows how the edit request was submitted; the second shows how requests should be submitted in the future.

Request edit examples

INCORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles, while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles. The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.

https://www.booksource.com
https://www.journalsource.com
https://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Daisy von Scherler Mayer article. Additionally, ref tags have not been placed within the text at the exact positions where the information they reference resides. Using the correct style and the correct positioning of the ref tags, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

CORRECT

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Prisha|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2020|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=2}}</ref>

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337.3 miles,^[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.^[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.^[3]

References

^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2020, p. 1.

^ Harinath, Prisha. "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46. 2020.

^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2020, p. 2.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc. Also, the ref tags are placed in the exact location where the text which they reference resides. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly submit an edit request below this reply post that aligns more with the second example shown in the collapsed section above, and feel free to submit that edit request at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Regards, Spintendo 01:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

^ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.

Hello everyone, I received a notification that I was mentioned on this Talk page. I see that User:MNW2009 linked to my User page in their initial post above. It appears that you may have used my previous requests as a template (thanks for the shout-out, GRuban!). I want to clarify that I am not associated with this user or their requests, and kindly ask that you update your post to remove the link to my User page. You can link to your own page by using [[User:MNW2009|user page]]. Thanks very much, and good luck with your edit requests! Kt2011 (Talk · COI:Walton family) 17:07, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. MNW, I did say on your talk page that you could do worse than use Kt2011's requests as a model, but - don't sign his name to them!

--GRuban (talk) 17:12, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you're referring to, but must've been an accident. This all is very above my head, so going to step away and wait for @GRuban to handle the Daisy changes when possible. Thank you! 207.34.41.62 (talk) 18:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why that commented with me signed out - anyway, that was me ^ MNW2009 (talk) 18:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MNW2009: I looked at your requested edits, and did most of the first sentence, because that one is cited by IndieWire. I can't find the other parts of your requested backed by the Vogue or IndieWire sources. Can you find third-party reliable sources that say what you want said? Then, ideally, format them the way User:Spintendo says in that collapsed box. Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 19:26, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
