Cliff and Jake[edit]

Thank you for adding this episode as "Denise Huxtable"'s last appearance; I knew she was written out in season seven, but I had the hardest time determining the specific episode. If you don't mind, can you just leave the episode's production information (season and episode number) in a message on my talk page so that I can cite it within the body of the article itself? Thanks!--Changedforbetter (talk) 17:01, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Changedforbetter: Anytime; I used the List of The Cosby Show episodes so I would encourage you to double-check the information. I think that it is correct, but my memory of the show, particularly the later seasons, is not that great, but you can double-check the information with other sites to confirm this. It is a shame that Bonet's pregnancy was not incorporated into A Different World as that would have been interesting, and I think Debbie Allen would have done a lot of cool things with the character development side of things. I will leave the information of the season and episode number on your talk page. Wonderful work with this article; you are definitely one of the users on here that I look to for inspiration. Aoba47 (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I was wondering if you could offer me some insight. I'm pretty much putting the finishing touches on the Denise article; in the past I've used the tool http://dispenser.homenet.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/webchecklinks.py?page=Denise_Huxtable to determine which links and resources cited were "unstable" and needed to be archived, but the link seems to have been...discontinued or is unavailable now? I was wondering if you're aware of an alternative tool on Wikipedia that does something similar?--Changedforbetter (talk) 22:26, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Changedforbetter: I apologize for the super late response, but I am not aware of an alternative tool unfortunately. Aoba47 (talk) 04:13, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Shine"[edit]

Congratulations on the recent promotion, which I have only just seen. I'm sorry I never got back to the article, but you clearly didn't need me! Josh Milburn (talk) 22:34, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you! And you gave a lot of helpful commentary that improved the article a great deal. Aoba47 (talk) 01:59, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PR request[edit]

Hi Aoba. How are you? I've made it through Mercy Point once and it looks pretty good so far. I noticed a few little things and will mention them (and maybe I'll notice other stuff) on my second read-through.
By the way, I was wondering whether you might possibly have time to give feedback at Wikipedia:Peer review/Watching the River Flow/archive1. If you don't, no worries. Thank you for considering. Moisejp (talk) 05:39, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would be more than happy to help with your peer review. I will try to have my comments up in the next couple of days, but I will definitely get to it by the weekend at the latest. Aoba47 (talk) 14:21, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Melanie Barnett copyedit[edit]

Can I just say, holy shit! The article looks great. It actually rekindled my interest in both The Game and Girlfriends. I just wanted to tell you two things I noticed. Firstly, when talking about real-life people you refers to them using their given names rather than their family names. I'm not sure if that's a huge problem but from most articles I've seen it's the other way around. Which goes into my second point. Would you mind if I copyedited the article and changes the names (among other things) myself? That way, you could also focus on other projects. PanagiotisZois (talk) 13:04, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I later realized that you had already submitted the article for copyediting. Well, it's done. Overall great article, with only a few nit-picks here and there. PanagiotisZois (talk) 14:00, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for the copy-edit and for your kind words! I am glad that the article had restarted your interest in both series. I agree with your point about using the family names rather than the given names; the only reason why I did the other way was to avoid confusion between Tia and Tamera, but since Tamera is only mentioned in one section, I agree that it should be done in the family name way. Your copy-edits have helped to improve the article a great deal, and I greatly appreciate your help. Let me know if you need any help with any of your current projects, and I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 15:15, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help with FD3[edit]

Hello Aoba, I was wondering if you could help me with my Final Destination 3 FAN. The nomination has already received an image review but still not a source review. If possible, could you do it? Considering the numerous sources cited in the article I understand if it's too much and you don't have time for it. Irregardless, I hope things are going well and wish you good luck with your future projects; especially Melanie. :) --PanagiotisZois (talk) 11:51, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would be more than happy to help out with a source review. I will try to have it completed by the end of the today. Congrats on all of the attention and commentary given to your FAC. Aoba47 (talk) 14:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Once again, thank you so much Aoba for all your help. You reviewed and passed the film's GAN, you supported its FAN, provided a source review immediately when I asked for one. Thank you so much. I'm sorry for not having commented on your FAN of Mercy Point. You didn't need to remove your ask from my talk page. I don't consider your messages clutter. I'll try to help you more with your future projects. PanagiotisZois (talk) 17:06, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anytime, and I am glad that I could help. You do a lot of great work on here so I am just glad to somewhat be a part of it. And thank you for your message; I apologize for modifying your talk page as I was just trying to help out. There's no need for you to apologize. It was an exceptionally quick FAN so it is very understandable. I look forward to helping you with future project as well. I just don't want you to feel pressured as I know that we are both probably busy with projects both on Wikipedia and in real life. Aoba47 (talk) 17:10, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you! And I apologize for the trouble with the source review; I feel really bad about it. I hope your week is going well so far. Aoba47 (talk) 22:21, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Really?[edit]

Oh my god! Are you really going to retire (please don't say yes)? Would be so unfortunate to lose an editor like you. It is my habit in general to say, I hope you have a great day, and all, and then once I saw your comment, and noticed you did the same too! In fact, the time I was saying, I hope you have a great rest of the day, to somebody, I noticed the exact same comment that you had given to somebody else (that was in fact the first time I noticed you), so I changed my comment a bit. You are so polite and such a great great contributor. I could go on listing great things about you, but the talk page might be flooded. You could, however, come in once in a while to edit or just simply. I am sure a lot of people (almost everybody who knows you, in fact) would feel bad just like I am, on losing you. Adityavagarwal (talk) 16:44, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Adityavagarwal: Thank you for your message! I greatly appreciate your kind words and support. It means a lot to me, and I am very fortunate and happy to have worked with people like you during my own projects and have helped with others' projects. I think that I will either "retire" or "semi-retire" for the immediate future as I am just feeling a little bit of burnout from focusing so much on getting articles through the FAC process. I am also turning my attention primarily to my future and my potential career path; I always wanted to be a writer and publish novels and short stories so I want to devote all of my energy to building my writing and art portfolio. I can easily become very caught with my work on here to the detriment of my real life work/responsibilities, so I think I could really use a break. In the future, I may return every once in a while to check the articles that I have worked on and to do some smaller, GAN projects. I just need to take a step away from Wikipedia for some time to focus on myself. I hope this message makes sense as I have the tendency to ramble lol. I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and thank you for everything! Aoba47 (talk) 18:25, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) So sad to see you leave too, Aoba. I stopped by to say thank you for providing comments on my latest FAC few days ago before your sudden retirement to pursue real-life obligations; I hope it gets promoted with your help. We actually share the same job prospects, except mine is more on screenwriting. But alas, I ended up editing an encyclopedia. lol. In any case, be seeing you. Slightlymad (talk) 11:02, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Slightlymad: Thank you for your message, and I am glad that I could help with your FAC. Good luck with your screenwriting dreams, as I have a lot of respect for that type of writing. Good luck with your current and future projects. Aoba47 (talk) 13:36, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Lol, so I see the "Can't retire" thing. . I think the "Retired" tag should now be closed in a box, and welcome back. It is so awesome that you decided to stay after all, so please let me know if I could review (image, source, or anything) any of your articles (I would be much honored). I think we would soon be seeing more awesome FAs from your side. Have a wonderful rest of the day! Adityavagarwal (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you! I still found myself gravitating back here, and doing work on here so I thought I might as well make it official. I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day too! Aoba47 (talk) 17:25, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking News[edit]

Firstly, I came here to say I was leaving some comments for your now-archived FAC on Pru. I'll leave them below just in case you're curious. Then I noticed your retirement banner on your talk page and had to bend down to pick my jaw up. I hope it's not true but I'm assuming it is. Nonetheless, I wish you the best in the future with your career. Hopefully it will be as successful as your run here on Wikipedia. You were and still are a very resourceful and enterprising editor. Keep in touch, Carbrera (talk) 00:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Suggested comments from Carbrera (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
  • I would reword "Credits adapted from the liner notes of Pru and AllMusic." to "Credits adapted from AllMusic and the liner notes of Pru." to clarify that there are not any liner notes for AllMusic – do you know what I mean?
  • I would add that Billboard is the publication in the "Charts" section for the R&B Albums
  • For "Release history", you should alphabetize so that CD appears after Cassette instead of vice versa
  • I see that the Billboard source describes "Aaroma" with the additional text in the title, but on the vinyl/CD releases it omits that. Perhaps you could point that out?
I might add a few more comments later when I glance at the article again. Carbrera (talk) 00:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • @Carbrera: Thank you for your comment and your suggestions for the Pru article. I greatly enjoyed working with you, and I know that you will do well with all of your current and future projects on here and in real life. I will actually miss working with you a lot, and I will definitely still check in every now and then to see how your work is going. I will let you know if I ever come back to seriously editing on here once my work/life is figured out lol. Aoba47 (talk) 02:36, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Let me know too, when you come back to editing... After all, I might not forget my Image review on the article go waste. I hope that you semi-retire instead. As always, I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day writing days! Adityavagarwal (talk) 10:46, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you, and I am considering semi-retiring as opposing to full retiring. Aoba47 (talk) 13:34, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also hate to see you go, Aoba. Best of luck with both offline and online future endeavors. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:59, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @SNUGGUMS: Thank you for your kind words, and best of luck with your future endeavors both online and offline. It was a pleasure to work with you. Aoba47 (talk) 16:29, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure thing, and I'm glad the feeling is mutual :) Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:35, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just the other day I was thinking (after seeing yet another article of yours at FAC), 'wow there's no stopping him'. Alas, not true anymore! We have had some brief interactions here, they were really nice. I wish you best luck with everything. – FrB.TG (talk) 22:29, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you for your kind words, and I am very happy that I was able to do so much before the sheer amount of work just stopped me lol. I greatly appreciated our interactions and your help. I wish you luck with everything too, and I hope you are having a great week so far. Aoba47 (talk) 22:31, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would appreciate your help here like I always have.Krish | Talk 12:54, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Krish!: Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I am currently too busy to conduct a review/provide commentary for your FLC due to IRL responsibilities, but it looks like it is in great shape and I am sure it will attract attention in the future. Good luck with it! I will have to watch this show sometime in the future. I will add it to my never-ending list lol. Aoba47 (talk) 13:54, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lars Alexandersson GA[edit]

With help of a fellow user, I managed to improve Lars Alexandersson's article and nominated it to GA. I don't know if it's possible since you are semi-retired, but I would appreciate if you review the article. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 01:31, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I will definitely pick it up for review since you have helped me so much with all of the source reviews for my FLC/FAC. I will have my comments up by the end of the weekend if that is okay with you. Aoba47 (talk) 02:15, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Zobbel.de as the source[edit]

Thanks to your FL review for Ariana Grande discography. Now the page is nearly to pass, but the last problem is quite knotty. The problem is the reliability of zobbel.de. See here. Now I'm quite confused, hoping you can give some comments. --U990467 (talk) 03:42, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @U990467: Thank you for your message. I can understand the concern about using the citation. Wouldn't it be better to cite the direct source (i.e. from this link)? Aoba47 (talk) 04:33, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Aoba47: Zobbel.de has said that "All UK charts in full can be found in ChartsPlus: www.ukchartsplus.co.uk" on their website. However, UKChartsPlus has been listed in Websites to avoid per WP:BAD CHARTS. I'm wondering whether I should keep these source or just remove them. --U990467 (talk) 05:08, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is certainly complicated. I am not entirely sure what to advise you to do, but I would recommend trying to find chart information directly from the source if possible. Aoba47 (talk) 15:21, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mary Alice Young[edit]

Just in response to you saying Marc Cherry needs to be linked in both the lead and the first section, I've worked on several fictional character articles that have been promoted to GA and been told by reviewers several times that there's no need to link actors and producers multiple times throughout the article. Do you have anything to back up your claim that he NEEDS to be linked in the first section as well, or is that just your personal belief/opinion/preference? Creativity97 20:15, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Creativity97: I have actually received the opposite comments about this from reviewers, and I honestly do not read the Wikipedia policy/essays so just do whatever you feel is right. I was only trying to help as I have passed several articles on fictional characters from both the GAN process and the FAC process so I thought that I had a pretty good grasp on this type of thing, but like I said in the article's talk page, I am just going to avoid the article completely and leave it up to your personal preference. Some things that I changed however should be kept, such as moving the link for Deirdre Taylor to its first mention in the article and not linking multiple items. Also, even if you decide to unlink Marc Cherry, I would encourage you to use his full name in the article, as I was a little confused when I first read it as I did not immediately know who "Cherry" was referring to. Good luck with the GA review, and great work with the article overall. I apologize if I came across as rude in my edits or comments. The article is an interesting read, as I do enjoy the character and the show's first season (I honestly think it kind of fell off after the first season for me unfortunately). Aoba47 (talk) 20:36, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, no worries. If you think that having simply "Cherry" was confusing to you as a reader, I will leave it as you have it to avoid confusion for other readers. I do value your feedback on that, thank you. I don't have any issues with anything else you changed and I want to also to thank you for putting Spoon Rivers Anthology in italics and putting the year of its release next to it, that was very helpful. The fictional character articles I've worked on thoroughly and have been promoted to GA have largely been soap opera character articles and there's also a bit of a different set of agreed upon rules to those articles, so I might've also been bringing a bit of my knowledge from that into this article. You were not rude at all, if anything I was the one being rude and defensive about the article, so I apologize for that. Thank you for all your help, I do appreciate it! Creativity97 21:00, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Creativity97: Thank you for your response, and good luck with your current and future projects. I completely understand your response, as I would have most likely had the same or a similar response. Hopefully, one day, we can work together on something as you have done a lot of great work with the Mary Alice Young article. Have a great day! Aoba47 (talk) 23:35, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Homophobia article[edit]

Hi there! I am finished working on an article for a short film called Homophobia in my sandbox, but I have never written an article about a film, so I'm not that good with the style of writing it. I have seen that you have promoted several film articles to GA or even FA status, so could you take a look at my work? It would be also helpful if you could watch the 23-min film on YouTube to slightly check the plot section, as there were many terms that I did not know in English and I had to translate them with Google Translate. Am I demanding too much from you? I just feel the article has a lot of errors and it can't be put on Wikipedia as it stands now. Best regards and I would be glad to hear your response to the short film, Cartoon network freak (talk) 08:12, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Cartoon network freak: Thank you for your message; unfortunately, I do not have the time to watch the film and compare it to the "Plot" section that you have already created. If you are concerned about the prose, then I would highly encourage you to submit a request through WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. The first thing that pops out to me when looking at your draft is your use of imdb as a source; imdb is not a reliable/credible source and should be replaced by either citing something else or just citing the film itself. I apologize for not having the time to fully commit to this, but good luck with this project! Aoba47 (talk) 15:33, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Ugly (Fantasia song)[edit]

The article Ugly (Fantasia song) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Ugly (Fantasia song) for things which need to be addressed.

DYK for Melanie Barnett[edit]

On 30 August 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Melanie Barnett, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that producer Mara Brock Akil was hesitant to cast Tia Mowry as Melanie Barnett due to the actress's wholesome image from Sister, Sister? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Melanie Barnett. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Melanie Barnett), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
