hello, you are my new mentor, how are you today? Ikipedia2 (talk) 02:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikipedia2, Hi there. I’m doing good, what about you? Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (she/they) 06:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Potential edit war. :( I hate wikipedia more then I love it. I have witnessed again and again that people here are just god awful.) Talk:Second_Cold_War#the_global_economy_risked_losing_up_to_$7_trillion_in_the_event_of a_new_Cold_War suggestions? Ikipedia2 (talk) 10:10, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikipedia2 you shouldn't revert reversions of your edits without discussing it first on the talk page as that is considered edit warring. I advise that you discuss this on the talk page rather than restoring your preferred version of the page. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (she/they) 12:53, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the suggestions. I stopped the edit war and gave him a barnstar bc I made a mistake in his edits. Appreciate the advice Zippy! your the best, have a great day! Ikipedia2 (talk) 21:28, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I joined because I wanted to add in new marriage info for a celebrity. When I looked at the edit history, somebody had already added in her recent marriage, and then it appears that an admin removed/undid the edit claiming that the marriage info was unsubstantiated. Today I saw that celebrity on TV and hear her personally confirm she recently wed, so I know it is substantiated. I don't want to take credit for the addition since somebody else beat me to it, but how do I go about contacting the admin that removed it, to let them know they were the one who was mistaken and that the celebrity did in fact get married, so they should allow that previous edit to be reinstated. Thanks for your help! --JetsetterJason (talk) 19:27, 24 January 2024 (UTC)JetsetterJason (talk) 23:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar may be awarded to those that show a pattern of going the extra mile to be nice. Thank you for the wise advice as my mentor Zippybonzo. Really appreciate all of your hard work here! Ikipedia2 (talk) 21:29, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zippybonzo, thanks for participating in the WikiCup and for reviewing these GANs. Unfortunately, excluding the Template:GAList templates in both of the above reviews, they are too short to qualify for points per WP:WC/SCO.

• On Talk:Gary Hobbs/GA1, you left a single comment about the style of the citations. There is no commentary about the other criteria, such as prose or coverage, aside from the boilerplate text in the template.
• On Talk:VanossGaming/GA3, the review has three short comments about sourcing, images, and copyright. Besides the lack of commentary on other criteria, it seems that the review did not mention whether the issues raised in the previous, failed reviews were resolved.

If a GA review is too short, we judges cannot easily determine whether a reviewer has spent extensive amounts of time on the article without being able to find any issues, or whether the review is a quick pass. I understand that this can be disappointing, but please do not be disheartened by this. Even if you're reviewing a relatively short GAN, you can usually pick out at least 3 or 4 issues, and that should be enough to qualify for WikiCup points. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:01, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zippybonzo, I'm new to Wikipedia. I have tried to minorly edit a few articles today, but I don't understand why a lot of articles are marked as "written like an advertisement", and how to improve the wording of such articles. For example, I can't really tell why this article is advertisement-like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessions_Two . Can you help give me advice on this? --Squidb4ll (talk) 01:05, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
