Using the phrase "award-winning" to describe someone is an example of WP:PEACOCK. The phrase introduces bias to one aspect of the persons career as well as inflates the notability of the individual. Stating the profession of the person is neutral and stating the awards the individual has won is neutral. Using "award-winning" is not neutral, saying that winning an award is a most-defining characteristic. BOVINEBOY2008 00:12, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
Just felt I should explain how I'm not "raising the bar" for the GAN: when reviewers find points to address that they hadn't previously seen, they will mention them in the review. In this case, I'm not sure if the more of points I brought up were from previous GAN or if they were inadvertently created in the process of editing for next GAN. Either way, just know that I'm not trying to make things harder or anything (and certainly not being sexist, either- I do believe this has the potential to be GA, even FA, someday, just hasn't reached that point yet). Let me emphasize that I do appreciate the effort you've put into it. I wish you luck with this one. I will pass if the points I mentioned on this review are addressed by May 1st.

The article Yoko Ono you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Yoko Ono for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Hello. I saw you reverted part of my mass-edit to Colin Farrell's page, since I removed the information about Nicole Narain being a Playboy playmate. I was wanting to ask you why. You said that this edit was "unnecessarily censorious and promotional", but I'm confused by both of those. I was, by no means, trying to censor that she was a playmate. This is completely irrelevant to me, but that was my point. If people want to know who Narain is, they can click her blue link. We don't disambiguate that Angelina Jolie is an actress in the same bracket, why should we do so for Narain? I only removed the information because it's inclusion struck me as entirely unnecessary. It seemed bloated to me. I'm not going to revert you (I'm not exactly passionate enough about my edit to get into a war with an editor I respect as much as yourself) but I'm hoping you will respond and help me see why you decided my edit was unnecessary. Thank you! Corvoe (speak to me) 03:52, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I don't know if you saw my note on Jclemens' page, but I'll repost it here:
As Jclemens is no longer an administrator, I restored the page and moved it to User:Aichik/Alice K. Kurashige. He deleted the page in 2009 due to an expired PROD, at which point it looked like this: [1]. Someone recreated the page last year, but it was apparently a copyvio per Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations/2013-04-24, and it was deleted again. Since it has always had sourcing issues, I went ahead and blanked the page; if you are able to find sources to improve this one, please work on it and restore it or move it to WP:DRAFTS.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Alice K. Kurashige, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.in.com/alice-k-kurashige/profile-14709.html.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited CM Almy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Episcopal.

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Maria Dumlao, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:32, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello Aichik,
I was looking over Yoko Ono's article, and actually realized something was missing: musicianship/artistry; her musical styles/themes, her influences, what critics have said of her music, etc. Probably should've looked for it during GAN, but figured a GAR isn't quite needed when I could simply say that it's missing a section or two. Don't think it should be too much trouble. You can look at any of the four Beatles' articles for examples. On another note, I think her discography warrants a separate page.
Cheers, Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:08, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Hello Aichik. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Maria Dumlao".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply ((db-afc))
or ((db-g13))
code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: ((subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Maria Dumlao))
, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 19:40, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:OpeningDayIncheonBiennale2009.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:35, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Saturday February 7 in NYC: Black Life Matters Editathon | |
---|---|
![]() ![]() You are invited to join us at New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for our upcoming editathon, a part of the Black WikiHistory Month campaign (which also includes events in Brooklyn and Westchester!).
The Wikipedia training and editathon will take place in the Aaron Douglas Reading Room of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division, with a reception following in the Langston Hughes lobby on the first floor of the building at 5:00pm. We hope to see you there!--Pharos (talk) 06:02, 27 January 2015 (UTC) |

The article Rest Energy (performance piece) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Amortias (T)(C) 20:58, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi A21, would you mind slowing down a little regarding the Emma Sulkowicz article? This is unfortunately turning into a contentious article, so the way to proceed is to hold requested-move (RM) discussions and (formal or informal) RfCs for any contested suggestions, and to wait until consensus forms. I know it's frustrating. I would prefer to act faster myself, but the outcome will be more long-lasting if we abide by the dispute-resolution processes.
One thing that would help is if you were to redirect your new article back to Emma Sulkowicz until an uninvolved admin has closed the RM discussion. That would at least make sure people don't start editing what they think will be a second stand-alone article. Best wishes, Sarah (SV) (talk) 19:26, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I don't doubt that you created the original Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight) in good faith, but I had to move it out of the way so I could move Emma Sulkowicz there in accordance with the RM consensus, so I moved it to the page linked in the header. Would you object to it being deleted? I don't think it's practical to history merge it because that would cause problems with the history (where there are overlaps between the two histories, clicking between diffs would make it appears as though one article was blanked and replaced with the other), so the options are essentially leave it where it is or delete it. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:26, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
