I wasn't making trying to make defamatory claims. I was simply adding his pornographic film past to the intro of his bio since it was one of his professions. There are many sources below the article. PaulSaibot (talk) 14:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Request on 18:06:36, 4 February 2021 for assistance on AfC submission by Owilli2019


Paul, you provide little to no feedback on word choice or what needs a reference source. What Peacock Words need to be changed? Is that last sentence about Joe's death an issue? I would greatly appreciate some direction from you because I'm not clear on what to edit or cite. Thanks, Oscar

Help needed on Speak Now (Leslie Odom Jr.)

Paul, you approved this article and I have been improving on it. I just tried to find it to add notable reference and someone has redirected it back to the film only - and I cannot access Speak Now (Leslie Odom Jr.) any longer. Anyway, if the song is not notable then I do not understand what is happening. It was nominated for a Golden Globe, Best Original Song, and the Oscars just announced the song is currently shortlisted for an Academy Award.

The song was nominated by the 78th Golden Globe Awards: for Best Original Song.

Changes are documented on this watch list. Please help, I'm way over my head now. Thanks.

AFC review Salem Lake, Utah

Hi, I saw you were the reviewer for the AFC Salem Lake, Utah. Thanks for approving the article, but it would be helpful to do a bit more QA on the article to help ensure high quality AFC are created. Specifically to this article the title didn't follow the lake naming format using parenthesis, Salem Lake (Utah). The categories didn't follow the practice for lakes and the talk page was missing a tag for the corresponding region project as outlined in WikiProject Lakes. I'm hoping that bringing these key point to your attention if a another Lake article comes through AFC and you're reviewing you can provide feedback as the reviewer for a higher quality article to be created through the process. Cheers! Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 05:31, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Wolfgang8741. Thanks for highlighting, I must admit I did kind of wave that one through as a "No glaring issues" case so I will certainly keep these points in mind for future. Thanks, Paultalk❭ 10:42, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Paul Carpenter No worries, I've been working on overhauling the WikiProject Lakes (& WikiProject Rivers) to build in more QA and consistency checks so when this came up I wanted to say thanks for approving and sharing some key things to look for.

== AFC Submission, I don't find the duplicate == Actually, I want to tell this is the last time I use AFC Submission. I learned a lot about it. If it can be accepted and finalized as AFC this time, I won't look back. This is a part of calculus mathematics, but historical for a problem of the natural log that wasn't solved for a long time and now is everywhere. It is for all levels graduate school and undergraduate university levels. Good day..... P.S. This is the last time if duplicated. Thanks 46.43.93.210 (talk) 11:25, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Picture in Template:reading

Both these images are set to the same width, which makes the 'portrait' image significantly taller.

Hi, I am trying to fix the picture in Template:reading so it looks good on my iPhone (for other users, not just me). Currently it is too large on my iPhone. Do you have a solution? I hate just trying one thing after another. John NH (talk) 18:47, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jnhmunro,
It's that your choice of image is a different aspect ratio: the mobile layout sets images at the width of the screen and scales the height in proportion to that. If you want to avoid that then you'll need to choose an image that isn't so much taller than it is wide. Maybe you could create a cropped version of your choice of image?

Buxtoni (talk) 04:36, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Paul, I've been working on editing the George Wexler article to address several issues: 1) I have improved the content so that it is more neutral and in an encyclopedic tone. Keeping in mind that I have a COI as the son of the late artist, but also some experience with technical writing so not a stretch once I gave it more thought. No one I know in my circle is capable of handling this sort of thing and as a first go I admit I made some mistakes - but that's why it's a draft. 2) The first image (George Wexler) is a photo from my own collection. (I tracked down the owner of the previous photo and he was uncomfortable with releasing it so I decided to use a different portrait which I took myself many years ago). I have uploaded this one to Wikimedia Commons with the most common license. 3) The second image (West Coast Landscape) is a photo from Thyra Wexler's slide collection. I'm not sure what evidence is required beyond stating that I have power of attorney. I could provide a copy of the POA in a few months since currently I am traveling. Better, I could have Thyra send a completed template of the most common license to Wikimedia Commons. This would take a couple weeks to arrange. 4) Proof of art in museums - for notability. I have received e-mail confirmation from The Museum of Science and Innovation including a photo of the work; The Albany Institute of History and Art has catalogued the painting they acquired on their website [1]. The curator of the Haggerty museum is searching storage (they have only catalogued online 1/3 of their holdings, apparently). The Dorsky Museum hasn't catalogued online the two paintings they own but have agreed to provide confirmation. They did loan one of his paintings in 2018 for an art exhibit called "The Golden Age of New Paltz" [2]. So far I haven't heard back from The Chrysler Museum Buxtoni (talk) 04:36, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Buxtoni,
I can see that the draft has improved significantly and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't resubmit it. Regarding the image of the landscape painting - I'd leave that until you have the time, there's instructions here on what to do, that might mean submitting an article with just the one image but that's fine (and well, it's up to you if you really want to release the rights to the image).
Thanks, --Paultalk❭ 09:54, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Draft: Ron Weighell

Good day Paul,

On 6 February you declined the subject submission. I have made several changes since then, the biggest being to remove the biography section, as I could not provide sufficient references to verify its contents. I have also added further references and citations. I wonder if you would have the time, please, to cast an eye over it and let me know if there is anything more I could do to further the prospect of it being accepted for publication?

Best wishes,

Nick Goodall Nick Goodall (talk) 23:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi Paul, I improved my article.

Hi Paul, I am contacting you about an article I wrote and you declined. I have improved it with more references and improved grammar. Please review it for publishing. Thanks a lot, hoping to hear from you soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Videos4world (talkcontribs) 13:06, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
