AOC RfC[edit]

Greetings, it's nice to meet you. I saw your comment on the RfC - if we removed the New York Post reference, would that mollify your concern? The sentence in question has two references so we could just take that one out. Pretzel butterfly (talk) 01:33, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm concerned about BLP issues - real touchy. Unless more reliable sources are provided, it is undue and I still oppose. ~ HAL333 04:44, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the feedback! I've been working to incorporate it, finding additional sources and removing sources from conservative media. You can find this draft in my sandbox. Pretzel butterfly (talk) 21:17, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pretzel butterfly, If you need some guidance, feel free to check out the list at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. It's very helpful. ~ HAL333 21:23, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! Pretzel butterfly (talk) 21:29, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As you suggested, I looked up each of the sources in the document. Of the 27 sources in the current draft, 17 are green and 10 aren't listed. Of the 10 unlisted sources, 6 are well-known national brands: PBS, CBS, ABC, and Yahoo News. The remaining 4 unlisted sources are Jewish Insider, Jewish Journal, Jewish News Syndicate, and the San Diego Union Tribune. I'm certainly open to any other advice you might have. Pretzel butterfly (talk) 14:40, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would work on removing the last 4 sources. If you can add even more sources that are green that would work in your favor. ~ HAL333 16:11, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Huey Long in culture[edit]

Hi @HAL333: How goes it? I came across your article Huey Long in culture had a look at it. I was reviewing it as part of NPP. I notice it hasn't got bibliography section. When you click on Perry (2004) it doesn't go anywhere. It is a dead link I'm assuming your planning to add that in at some point, otherwise how will the reader know who Perry 2004 is? Also I notice the article has an earwig repport earwig that says it is 94.4%. Huge sections seemed to be coppied from somewhere else. Would that be from parent article, or is it in public domain for example? It certainly looks as though it is from the parent article. scope_creepTalk 16:32, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I split it from Huey Long in my push to get it up to FA status. I have since added a works cited section. Thanks for pointing that out. ~ HAL333 01:45, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just saw your comments for the Bach cantata, thank you! I gave it a section header, to make it easier for the delegate to see how many commented, and to avoid edit conflicts. The article will change, because - due to the section above yours - we decided to split the recordings part off to a dedicated article. I also found new sources. Please keep watching. - I think Jerome would have liked that more readers were interested in Stockhausen than in him yesterday ;) - he was always so modest, and the music in focus not his person. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Save us[edit]

Hal, the Elon Musk talk page takes the cake for the most insanely messy one I've ever seen. I mean what?????. SO many banners, I tried to clean up a little, but since it looks like you edit there, can you remove some of the less pertinent warnings (I wouldn't know which to remove, since I don't go to the page much)? At the moment, the amount of warnings completely defeats the purpose, since there's so many none of them attract any attention, if that makes sense. Save us from this monstrosity...! Aza24 (talk) 06:18, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That whole page is a mess to be honest. I'll get at it. ~ HAL333 14:50, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a way to align the ToC and the banners next to one another maybe to consolidate space? Though that probably would only work on desktops...
The Talk page is a mess for sure and partly because (mostly brand new) editors do not seem to appreciate looking at archives or even the entire article itself first before suggesting some update that has been considered previously, often many times! I do not know how to combat it though except with some additional functionality, but one of my ideas in that vein got shot down quickly. It is puzzling. QRep2020 (talk) 15:37, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, there's not much we can do... ~ HAL333 20:44, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
looks much better now, thank you! There isn't much we can do at the moment, but there are many thoughts being developed at Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab)/Archive 34#Thinking about a radical reduction of talk page banners. Aza24 (talk) 22:53, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully something comes of it. ~ HAL333 02:44, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The banner section on Talk: Elon Musk does present much better now though. On my computer, I can see the tippy-top of the ToC box penetrate above the fold for the first time. QRep2020 (talk) 17:31, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's much better now. Hopefully newcomers will pay attention to it. ~ HAL333 17:36, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you![edit]

Thanks for your salient and hilarious points on that COI complaint, HAL. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. I think I am going to ignore it unless some action is taken against my account. QRep2020 (talk) 17:43, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to. ;) The allegation doesn't seem to have gained much steam, so I don't think you'll be affected. ~ HAL333 17:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You make me proud HAL333 - on Elon Musk[edit]

Hey Hal333, we have been talking on the Elon Musk talk page. Have you realised how fun it is that ALL my suggestions have now been implemented in the Elon Musk article by you? I find that really funny as you was a big opponent of my suggestions from the beginning and strongly disagreed. What changed? Did an admin look at the page and agreed with my points that the article did by NO means uphold the quality for an objective Wiki article?

I mean, something drastically must have happened because with a snap you implemented ALL my feedback in the article. Suddenly gone was all the biased parts in the "Views"-section. So I just wanted to say thanks for implementing all my feedback - please write to me another time when you need to know how one of your articles can get better.

Huey Long[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Huey Long has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

In the Historical reputation section, this sentence appeared:"One of the few biographers to praise Long was T. Harry Williams, who classified Long's ideas as modified or neo-populism." I changed "neo-populism" to "neo-populist" which I think is the correct wording. However, "modified" seems to be missing the name of a political school of thought and doesn't make sense as it stands. Otherwise, I think the article is in good shape.

Best of luck with it moving forward..

A barnstar for you![edit]

The Writer's Barnstar
I noticed you've taken Huey Long to FA status - and perhaps I should've waited until it's officially passed - but he's one of my favorite political figures and I wanted to show my thanks for you improving his article! Elliot321 (talk | contribs) 23:10, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, he's a fascinating figure. Thanks for the barnstar, Elliot321! ~ HAL333 23:14, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2012 Summer Olympics medal table[edit]

Hi there,

Could you possibly proofread 2012 Summer Olympics medal table for featured list promotion? This is my first non-film related list I have decided to nominate for FL. I would appreciate the feedback, although I may or may not respond quickly.

--Birdienest81 (talk) 05:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to. I'll get at it soon. ~ HAL333 03:09, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Jeffrey Epstein[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Death of Jeffrey Epstein has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I masked a few sentences cited using likely unreliable sources, but this hasn't made any difference to the sense of the article. I would suggest you combine the Autopsy and Autopsy Report sections into one. The Autopsy section had a citation tag on one statement. I found and added a reliable citation. Then I discovered the same information with a different citation is repeated in the Autopsy Report section. This is describing the lawyers' dissatisfaction. Also, the li nk at the end of the article only provides a title page to Epstein's autopsy not the whole thing (as far as I can tell). Best of luck with the FAC when you get to it..

Regards,

Thanks - I appreciate it. ~ HAL333 21:44, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

March flower[edit]

Thank you for reviewing Bach's cantata composed for today, - perhaps listen. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:28, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just did. And thanks for your note for Lepricavark. ~ HAL333 18:12, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
... and the first performance was on a Palm Sunday which is today, and Yoninah's obituary with the beginning of Passover today - putting some little ego-battles in perspective (and I don't remember how many of those notes I left for L.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, finally finished my work and cleared some time to do reviewing. My sense of this one is that the last two commenters either will or won't respond to PresN, and either way, he's likely to promote ... unless they raise a fuss. I could be wrong. If this one needs help to get over the finish line, ping me. - Dank (push to talk) 00:40, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I appreicate that Dank. I feel pretty good about that nomination. And if you need any reviewing or help from me, feel free to ask. Cheers! ~ HAL333 23:22, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A review from time to time on my plant lists would be nice, but don't sweat it. - Dank (push to talk) 23:49, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations to your FA! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gerda! Hopefully there's more to come. :) ~ HAL333 16:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think of TFA on 30 August? It could be noted in WP:TFARP. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:42, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have a reservation there for the day, but it could go next year also. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:13, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for reminding me about that. I decided to reserve September 8 (the day Long was shot). ~ HAL333 23:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Memories on the Main page today, Psalm 115 thinking of Yoninah, Christa Ludwig and Milva, - voices that made the Earth a better place. Sad that the psalm hook didn't appear on Earth Day as planned, but better pictured and late than going unnoticed ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:00, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Resetting discussion at Talk:University of Mississippi[edit]

Would you mind collapsing the discussion at Talk:University of Mississippi so we can reset it? It's gotten unnecessarily personal and I apologize for my part in that. I think that if we refocus on a clear question it will be a lot more productive. I'm happy to share a draft with you in advance. ElKevbo (talk) 22:08, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that gesture and assure you that there are no hard feelings. But I think it would be best if we left the discussion open and uncollapsed. I've presented all of my thoughts on the issue and am moving on. I think we should just wait around and see if other editors pitch in and how the consensus turns out. ~ HAL333 22:12, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A reviewer has requested that I remove all the "site links", and I don't mind, as long as there's a link on the talk page to the version of the page that has the site links, for the benefit of article writers. Would you rather I leave the site links in or remove them? I'm asking because you reviewed List of plant genera named for people (A–C), and I want to be consistent with this in all four lists in the series. (A reply here is fine, if you prefer.) - Dank (push to talk) 21:04, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dank, I'm indifferent to the issue myself and tend to let the nominators do stuff their own way. That being said, I have a great deal of respect for TRM and generally defer to what he says. I'll try to review your list soon, but I am incredibly busy in real life. Hopefully within the next
