Question
Your recent revert of my edits seem to contradict the banner on the top of Category:Mass shootings in the United States which states "all mass shootings in the United States should be included in this category". Your edit defeats the purpose of this banner. I was adding this to a few pages that didn't include said category. However, a few pages do include the parent category and a subcategory for example: Aurora, Illinois shooting contains the categories Category:Mass shootings in Illinois as well as Category:Mass shootings in the United States. Shouldn't all pages be consistently categorized? Tinton5 (talk) 00:22, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- Tinton5, Hmm, I'm not sure. I don't see the point in having entries in the parent as well as subcategories, but I guess I won't revert if you feel the parent category needs to be added back? ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:35, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello I was wondering if you had any tips for a new editor thanks EHTROITDE (talk) 09:01, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

ResolvedBefore that Oddly didn’t embrace all the opportunities being a drag artist offered as he was just a “skinny, black, gay guy,” Oddly said.[3] Gleeanon409 (talk) 17:29, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- Gleeanon409, I'm not sure why you're posting this on my talk page. ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:29, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
- You asked if there was a source for Yvie Oddly’s being gay. When I added the category the system didn’t allow me to add a comment so I posted here. Gleeanon409 (talk) 21:47, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Women's March on Portland
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Women's March on Portland you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. 
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Ashorocetus -- Ashorocetus (talk) 00:21, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Reversing Roe
Hi, there. I've created the article for the film Reversing Roe, but as you "created" it first as a redirect, it doesn't appear on my list of pages created. Is there anything I can do to make it appear on my list? Regards.--SirEdimon (talk) 00:15, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- SirEdimon, If I'm being honest, I'm not sure. For future reference, when I'm looking to override a redirect, I usually write my article in the draft space (such as Draft:Reversing Roe) and then submit a request to have the page moved into the main space at Wikipedia:Requested moves. I don't know if Wikipedia:Requests for history merge is a place for help. Of course, you're welcome to simply claim credit, but I understand if you want the article history to reflect your work. I often just expand articles from redirects, just depends on the situation. There may be a solution but I don't know off hand. Perhaps a talk page stalker can point you in the right direction. ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:23, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I have created the draft on my draft space before even realizing the redirect. I'll try the Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thanks for your help.--SirEdimon (talk) 20:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

The youngest professional drag queen in the world but I’m getting like no sources feedback that’s really definitive or even about the content I’d like to add. Am I at the right place?

There is no mention of Super Moon at Dirty Heads
Hi. I see you created redirects for Dirty Heads' upcoming album Super Moon, probably presuming there was content at the band's article about it. There isn't. Please make sure there is a mention at the article you're pointing a redirect to before creating said redirect, or add it there after. Your redirects have been nominated for deletion enough times for you to probably know this, and I believe I've asked you to do this before. Thanks. Ss112 06:35, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

WikiCup 2019 July newsletter
Extended content

|---|
|
The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Honey Davenport
.jpg)
I saw that the Honey Davenport article finally underwent its CE. I have to say, I am pretty disappointed: the copy edit introduced a number of unambiguous grammatical errors and included many other changes that, in my opinion, were disimprovements to the flow and structure of the prose. At least one other edit Wikilinked a magazine in the refs that was already linked in its first appearance in the published version of the article (which was not its first appearance in the markup).
Some of the changes struck me as true improvements or were pretty neutral, so I left those alone. I had to restore much of the article from its pre-CE version, though. Do you think this will present a problem? Normally in a case like this, I'd open a discussion with the editor who did the CE and comment on each change in detail. However, I'm traveling and pressed for time IRL, so initiating what could be a long talk isn't especially feasible for me at the moment. If someone attempts to revert my most recent changes, I will probably have to do it anyway, but this is a headache I hope very much to avoid. What did you think of this CE? I noticed you also restored at least one sentence from the pre-CE version. Armadillopteryxtalk 14:37, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- Armadillopteryx, Nope, don't worry. Sometimes I revert edits made via GOCE review as well. For me, getting GOCE review is generally helpful, and most of the time quite constructive. But, sometimes I disagree and undo some changes, and this has never been a problem with reviewing editors or the Good article review. By all means, please edit the article as you see fit. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:12, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

A belated apology
It's been a while, but I'd like to apologize for flaking on you and not reviewing the notability of the World Famous Kenton Club draft as I said I would. I found the notability of the draft rather tricky tricky to evaluate, and I kept putting it off so I could give you a thorough review. The perfect ended up being the enemy of the good, however, and I never got around to writing down my thoughts. I'm sorry about this. I just want to follow up with you so you know: don't hesitate to ping me if you need a second opinion on something again! Hopefully I'll be able to provide some feedback in a more timely manner next time ;) – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 22:54, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- Lord Bolingbroke, Hey, no problem at all! I was mostly just pinging as a courtesy, since I had said I would. The editor who I was conflicting with has been banned from interacting with me, and I've already nominated two articles they attempted to delete for Good article status. Sorry you got pulled into that mess. I've been enjoying some of your other contributions related to Portland and Oregon. Keep up the great work! ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you! After having edited here for some time, it feels good to finally get some new articles into mainspace. I saw the Graywalls thread at ANI. I thought about chiming in, but I dislike drama and just felt too heated at the time to contribute constructively. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 04:41, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Stubs on Portland parks
Hello again! Are you sure articles like Northgate Park and University Park (Portland, Oregon) pass GNG? Why have you chosen to create articles on these parks rather than any of the other non-bluelinked parks at List of parks in Portland, Oregon? – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 17:58, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
- Lord Bolingbroke, I create stubs for park articles often, mostly as I visit them in chunks and connect entries to Commons, Wikidata, etc. I'd love to see stubs for more of the parks mentioned in the list and will continue to work on them as possible. ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:03, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
- Frankly, I don't think creating these articles is a good idea. Taking Northgate Park as an example, I can find tangential mentions like this and this but no significant coverage. If the above articles were taken to AfD, you'd need to have some sort of IAR rationale for keeping them. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 18:17, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
For the record, I think an IAR rationale can be perfectly legitimate. I'm skeptical that some Portland neighborhoods like Crestwood, Portland, Oregon or Sunderland, Portland, Oregon pass GNG, for instance, but there are still encyclopedic reasons to have these articles. I should also clarify that I don't think there's anything particularly bad about these parks articles (they're accurate and verifiable); I just think it's important for policy to be applied consistently, regardless of whether an article creator is a newbie or autopatrolled. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 20:05, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- Lord Bolingbroke, I understand, and some parks will have received more coverage than others (not to mention, there may be better coverage of Portland's parks compared to other metro areas). If you poke around Category:Parks in Portland, Oregon, you'll see there are some nice entries for even some of the city's minor parks. Many of them were established as protected areas decades ago and there may be some helpful PP&R sources and I'd be searching the Oregonian archives as well. Also worth keeping in mind, some parks may have public art, host events, have community centers, etc, so there may be more than expected or seen at a glance. Personally, I like getting the ball rolling, and I think there are bigger concerns than purging articles about parks. But you can always note your concerns their respective talk pages. BTW, thanks for fixing the caption on the Mock's Bottom article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:19, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Kylie and Garibay (EP)
Extended content
|
|---|
|
Hey there! I'm in the process of copy editing Kylie and Garibay (EP) and already finished copy editing the first half of the article. I've run into some IRL issues, so I will finish the other half later (hopefully by end of day today). I have a question regarding the second sentence of the article:
If my intuition is correct, "their" is supposed to refer to Kylie and Garibay. However, grammatically, "their" here refers to Parlaphone and Warner Bros. Records. Furthermore, I noticed that the tenses in this sentence are inconsistent (i.e. "was" and "serves") and that the previous sentence uses present tense. Given these combined reasons, I moved the second half of the sentence to be a part of the first one. (Just explaining my rationale here. It was an edit made in good faith.) In your edit you noted that you want to "say date of release before the date of their previous release". I'm perfectly okay with this. However, as a copy editor, I want to make sure it flows well grammatically and stylistically. Currently, "their" is ambiguous, the tenses are inconsistent, and the second clause should either be a phrase without the comma or an independent clause. What do you think of the following variations to this sentence?
Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks. —Bobbychan193 (talk) 21:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

I want to make some improvements to the Fund for the Public Interest page, but since I am in a conflict of interest when doing so, I wonder if you have time to help me in the next few weeks? If so, how would you like to me to proceed? I can share my proposed edits with you. CleanWater17 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:18, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- CleanWater17, Possibly, but your best bet is to post suggested updates/improvements to the article's talk page. There's also the request edit template if you want to throw your requests into a queue for editors familiar with this process to review. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for your quick response. I've now read about the request edit template and have a question. The guidelines say to post proposed changes on the talk page and obtain consensus before using the edit request template. I assume this means reach consensus with other people who have edited the page. The page I'd like to edit, however, doesn't have many active editors. How long should I wait for a discussion and consensus on the page before using the edit request template? CleanWater17 (talk) 20:53, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- CleanWater17, Hmm, I see people use this template often when requesting straightforward requests, such as fixing inaccuracies, adding updates, etc, without seeking consensus first. However, if you're planning to propose major overhauls, you may want to reach out to specific editors who are willing to review proposed language and sourcing in detail. I've noticed those who reply to the request edit template often prefer smaller changes. Note: Using the request edit template is not required, but I wanted to make this option known. Your best bet is to find interested editors or ask for help at select WikiProjects. Starting with an outline of your proposed changes on the article's talk page is the best start, so you can at least see if any page watchers reply in any way before going out of the way for assistance. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:57, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Naming statue articles
Ther is a lot of conversation going on about the naming of statues. I have avoided bringing this into the conversation, but perhaps we could chat about it? I think at least they should all have the sculpture's name instead of the "(sculpture)" that a few of them have. But should they all be "Statue of........." ? Carptrash (talk) 21:11, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Carptrash, Funny you mention, User:Ham II is working on this in their draft space: User:Ham II/Sandpit G. Amidst all the naming discussions, we still need to decide about what to do when there are multiples of the same statue. Many of the statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection have duplicates installed at state capitol buildings, or elsewhere. Not all, but some. TBD: Do we go with "Statue of XXX", "Statues of XXX", or even have separate articles if there's enough content about the works in their respective locations? So much to figure out, but I'm looking forward to setting some standards so we can be more consistent moving forward. Glad you see the NSHC on your mind as well. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:00, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
Guy Walks Into a Bar...
There is an ellipsis in the title. I don't know what you linked your redirect Guy Walks into a Bar (album) on Mini Mansions for, whether you were intending to start the article or have somebody do it for you by linking a redirect you created, but I've started the article at the correct place (Guy Walks Into a Bar..., with ellipsis intact) to dissuade others from making it elsewhere. If you intend to contribute to the topic, please do so there. Thank you. Ss112 04:25, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- Ss112, I was just creating redirects based on other possible search terms. I'm not sure an ellipsis serves as a disambiguation, and I thought "into" should be lower case, but I don't feel strongly about either. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:18, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Kevin Cavenaugh for deletion
ResolvedA discussion is taking place as to whether the article Kevin Cavenaugh is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Cavenaugh until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Meeanaya (talk) 04:46, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
A question about "park" articles
Hi Another Believer,
I mentioned in a previous post that I read the articles that appear on the 50,000 challenge list. I know that you write articles on statues, local landmarks, history, people and parks of Portland, along with those really great articles (I'm a big fan), like the 'Women's March', 'March for our Lives', etc. I am living in a new town, Oak Park, Illinois, and its a town with interesting history and landmarks, and few wikipedia articles. I have a few ideas — Hemingway's birthplace, I'm working on that now. The town has many lovely parks, statues, interesting Mob history, other landmarks, etc.. There are also neighborhoods outside Oak Park that have interesting civil rights history--riots, marches, murders, etc.
I would like to begin with articles on local parks, but am concerned that the articles will be will not be considered "notable" and be deleted eventually. Do you have any problems with notability with the park articles you have written in the past? thanks MauraWen (talk) 12:01, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
- MauraWen, Thanks for reaching out. I've been following some of your work as well. Hard to say without knowing more about the specific topics you're considering, but I would certainly start with the most notable, and perhaps start with notable neighborhoods/areas and landmarks before tackling some of the smaller parks. I don't know if this is unique to Portland or not, but many of the parks here were acquired many decades ago and host events, community centers, public art, etc. Parks and recreation are very much part of the culture here, so there may be more coverage of local parks here than in some other parts of the U.S. You might poke around Category:Parks in Portland, Oregon to do some quick article assessments. To answer your question, I've not had a big problem with park articles getting deleted, but I certainly don't want to suggest most public parks are notable. But, be bold!, and see if you can get the ball rolling on some notable local landmarks and other sites. Also, consider starting List of parks in Oak Park, Illinois and List of public art in Oak Park, Illinois, if those help as starting places. I wish you luck and look forward to your contributions! ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:23, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
- Another Believer Thanks! I will check out the Portland Parks Category and an Oak Park list of public art and parks is a great idea! MauraWen (talk) 22:24, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Please read WP:SPLIT. This is in no way long enough to be split out yet. If you edit war over it, as you have done in the past, I will report this to an admin, so please do not do so. I don't know how you think that tiny not-even-a-decent-sized article was worth moving into a draft to claim as your own. If you were starting an article from scratch with content you had written originally and had worked on in a draft, that would be understandable. But copying content that you didn't even write from another article into a draft just to have moved it over a redirect another user made is not right. You basically didn't even do anything to it. You want article creation credit for moving a section that you didn't even have anything to do with. Ridiculous. Even admins acknowledge that when they are moving content they didn't originate, they don't need to erase redirects. I'll be asking an admin about this practice. @Sergecross73: Ss112 09:32, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round. Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed). If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Kevin Cavenaugh moved to draftspace
ResolvedAn article you recently created, Kevin Cavenaugh, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:43, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Howdy another believer - we corresponded 2-3 years ago on my edits to Poet’s Beach I think. Thanks for adding The Big Float and Audrey McCall Beach.
I seem to remember you may have said I could try drafting up something for Human Access Project with citations that you might look at? Now that there are three articles with reference to Human Access Project it seemed like maybe it’s time to add HAP.
I was not sure how to communicate with you so I apologize if this is not the best way.
I also could potentially add content with citations to TBF and AMB.

A new week, another attempt by you to get a redirect of mine deleted for a stub article you've made in draftspace. I'm not surprised.

- Oh, one other thing: while researching this article, I came across this source, which states Mimi Imfurst's legal name as Braden Maurer-Burns. In the Mimi Imfurst Wikipedia article, though, her legal name is recorded as Braden Chapman. There's no source for that in the article, as far as I can tell, though a quick Google search does produce more results supporting "Braden Chapman" than "Braden Maurer-Burns". There are plenty of sources for both, however. It appears that she may have undergone a name change or something, but how should we source and handle the name in the Mimi Imfurst article? Picking a random source for one name of the other doesn't seem like the best way to do it, though I couldn't find any source that explicitly mentions both names or a name change. Armadillopteryxtalk 22:44, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Since I've just finished writing and will probably want to make more changes in the coming days, I'll hold off on nominating it for GA just yet. I also assume there will be more news coverage of the pageant in the near future, since this year's edition of the contest has just concluded. I'd like to incorporate that if/when it comes out. I'll nominate it after that :-) Armadillopteryxtalk 21:10, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
