Hey, Sam-2727! I'm afraid I need a lot more detail on how you decided there was consensus for this close, as I don't see it at all. —valereee (talk) 10:33, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
With regards to "The talk (racism in the United States)," bus stop opposes based on the current scope of the article, which is limited to African American parenting. This argument was reflected in other "scope" arguments by other users when defending The talk (African-American parenting).
tldr; when arguing scope/use vs. hypotheticals, scope is a policy based argument.
Hopefully this explains my reasoning. I did spend a lot of time reading all of the arguments. I'm happy to explain more in detail, or be persuaded that my reasoning was flawed. Sam-2727 (talk) 18:10, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Please do not rename pages while there is still an open, ongoing discussion on the talk page, as you did at The talk (racism in the US). The discussion should be completed and the move request closed before any such action is taken. The page move has been reverted. Thank you for your willingness to help, but please familiarize yourself with policies and guidelines in regard to page moves. P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 20:50, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on the Jane Hogarth talk page. I've not had this issue before. I'm not going to touch it in case somehow I did violate anything. I'll let TPTB decide. But it is reassuring to have a comment there suggesting I did not. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 13:30, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Sam-2727. Hope all is well. I wanted to bring this query to your attention. I recently created an article page for Henry Gayden. Would you mind reviewing the page for approval? If you can do it, that would be much appreciated. Thanks. Elainasla (talk) 10:47, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
I apologize for the delayed response. Thanks for that, I appreciate your assistance. Elainasla (talk) 06:25, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi @Sam-2727:. Hope all is well. I wanted to bring another query to your attention. According to Paramount Pictures[1], the title of this movie hasn't actually been confirmed as Scream 5. It appears that certain media outlets are making that assumption, even though the recent teaser on the official Scream Twitter account[2] did not show a numbered Scream title. What lends more credence to the above statement is that the directors involved have not connected this project and referred to it as Scream 5 either. Additionally, Variety noted that Spyglass Media Group and Paramount are labeling this movie as a "relaunch" of the series.[3] I find this case to be similar to what Universal Pictures, Blumhouse Productions and Miramax did to Halloween (2018 film) in that front. In light of such evidence, I suggest the idea of re-titling the aforementioned article page to either Untitled Scream sequel or Scream (2022), to accommodate the change.

Hello & Привет! I have written a few other biographical articles also, but they are not so long like Stephen Fuchs, because I could not find enough study material online to build larger content on them. Also, I will create some more articles, but they wouldn't also be so long. Still, if you would like to help in improving the articles, that would be much appreciated )) Would you like to do that? Thanks, Мастер Шторм (talk) 07:10, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
NitinMlk, you are also welcome to leave feedback about any article(s) for further improvements as you have always guided me well on editing more productively and fruitfully )) Some of the pages on which I have Sam have worked together have significantly benefited from the scholarly reviews suggested by you.

I'm not giving the situation much priority with all that's going on elsewhere, Cirt now gone, and the huge effort I put into trying to work in good faith with Cirt. Sorry. A few thoughts:
I won't access the google drive docs. I've no interest in spending any time figuring out what the security risks may be by doing so. You're the first Wikipedian that's ever shared docs with me in that manner.
It all comes down to the references. Identifying the publisher, author, and quality of the specific reference should be a starting point. I've never seen obits quite like these, so am not sure what to do with them. In any other case, I'd be arguing much stronger against their use. --Hipal (talk) 17:51, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello Sam-2727,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

1 | DannyS712 bot III (talk) | 67,552 | Patrol Page Curation |
2 | Rosguill (talk) | 63,821 | Patrol Page Curation |

9 | Hughesdarren (talk) | 4,520 | Patrol Page Curation |
10 | Utopes (talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Hi there, I'm a researcher for the Wikilambda project. Last month we held a naming contest and I'm following up with those who voted to see if you might be willing to provide some feedback to help guide the project.
This would be a 45 minute conversation about your past experience with other Wikimedia projects and thoughts about the future of this new initiative. I'm hoping to gather a wide range of perspectives so I'd be interested in your opinion regardless of whether you plan to have further involvement.
As a way of saying thanks, the research team is offering a $35 gift card (in your local currency) for participation. We could chat by phone or through a website for audio conferencing.
If you're interested just pick a time slot from this calendar link:

Hope to hear from you soon!

On 10 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aparna Rao, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the German anthropologist Aparna Rao studied the impact of the Kashmir conflict on both lives and the environment? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aparna Rao. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aparna Rao), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.
