Trying to locate source for Maria Callas' citizenship in Italy in 1949 as listed in Wikipedia Italy (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Callas).

How was I in any way edit warring? That’s an incredibly loose way of throwing that around. Rusted AutoParts 04:48, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
You're bang out of order here. The thread explained why the IP edits were made and this ineluctably annuls any "sockpuppet" accusation because if I had the ability to edit the contributions, I'd have logged myself in. My self-revert was exactly an acknowledgement of my IP contributions, and I volunteered my identity way before it was even suggested I might be the same person as the IP. --Ishmailer (talk) 03:30, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
The information was a link to an instance in Fred's personal life which was added to the ArbCom questions and answers. Its been removed. I prefer not to say more since doing so would in my opinion be almost as bad as linking in the first place.

I saw that. I figured your copy editor eye would see it but no energy to fix it tonight. I tend to see things first in an overarching way then to see specifics. I paint that way and choreograph that way; its a whole brain way of functioning and it takes a lot of physical effort to reverse that tendency and see specifics first. This does mean I make mistakes and don't always see them or see them too late. Littleolive oil (talk) 05:37, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
In this edit;[1] you appear to have inadvertently placed another editor's comment in the middle of my comment. Would you be so kind as to undo the editing of my comment by deleting or moving the comment that was interspersed in the middle of it? --Guy Macon (talk) 08:15, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi Softlavender. Thank you for your contributions so far, especially for your edits on Gab (social network). Since you've been adding plain references, it seems like you're still using the old wikitext editor. Do you know that there is a new wikitext editor with a better set of tools, like automatic citation filling, among other convenient features? You can enable it in Beta features. You can make this change global, too. This new wikitext editor is part of the new VisualEditor. But unlike VE, it does not incur much stress on your computer. I hope you will find this useful. Thank you. Tsumikiria (T/C) 02:14, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Fred Bauder. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Fred Bauder/Evidence. Please add your evidence by November 27, 2018, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Fred Bauder/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, --Cameron11598 (Talk) 21:03, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Softlavender. Voting in the 2018 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 3 December. All users who registered an account before Sunday, 28 October 2018, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Thursday, 1 November 2018 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2018 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:42, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello Softlavender. You have commented in FrogCast's unblock thread at WP:AN. You were proposing on 16 November that we conduct an unblock discussion on the user's talk page. At present the user's talk access is disabled, apparently due to a long run of unproductive block appeals that weren't taking the process seriously. The past requests were declined by four different admins. Do you want to make a further statement or proposal in that thread? Otherwise it seems possible that the thread may drift into the archives with no consensus for unblock. Some admins (though not me) do seem to be leaning toward unblock, though I'm unsure if they are fully aware of the editor's quirky views. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 02:35, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
Regarding the talk page: The discussions were on different places, unfortunately, but you can see the result - edit warring over his talk page - best in the talk page's history.

Hello, I saw you reverted my removal of the POV dispute tags from the articles, saying the disputes are not dead. That is totally fine. I encourage people to revert me any time they believe I have erred. However, the POV dispute tag is for articles where two or more editors are currently in disagreement about whether the article is neutral. In this case no one has commented on the article talk pages regarding pov issues in more than 5 years. If you personally feel that the articles still have problems, it's ok for you to just change or remove the offending material. If you don't have time to do that, it would be best to tag the offending material with more specific tags such as ((undue weight)), ((original research)), or ((unreliable sources)). I will do that myself if I have time, but you seem to be more familiar with the subject and what exactly the issues may be so it might be best for you to fix the problems yourself. Cheers, -- LWG talk 20:06, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
BLP applies everywhere. The content concludes, form watching the show, that Jeff Bezos is being satirised as a Talosian. This is the kind of "user thinks X looks like Y" stuff that WP:SYN forbids. In as much as it has a source, it's IGN, a gaming blog. This is shit content. I am amazed that peopel are going to bat for it, and not even trying to source it from reliable sources.

Hi. If you're going to accuse me of being "in violation" of a guideline, at a widely-watched noticeboard that I don't watchlist, I would appreciate you having the courtesy of informing me about it on my talkpage if I have not already been informed.
Also, removing an incorrect and inappropriate "only warning", with an explanation that it has been removed, does not "change the meaning" of anything. MPS1992 (talk) 20:55, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
I saw your revert of my edit. The edit summary read "Please discuss such a drastic alteration and removal on the article's talkpage before performing ot reverting." What you referring to, unless I'm mistaken, is that I moved the section of singers and songs further down the page. You consider this drastic? That section is unsourced and could easy be deleted by anyone. Right?
Vmavanti (talk) 02:37, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
Is there a guideline that establishes this that I'm not aware of? As as far as I know, we retain whatever date format was first used, unless there are strong national ties to the topic, and as far as I can tell looking back through discussions, simply being American doesn't count as "strong national ties." --tronvillain (talk) 21:36, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi Softlavender! I hope you're having a fun and stress-free holiday season so far! I saw your comment here that was made in this ANI discussion here. I apologize for the delay responding to your request - I was busy with real-life obligations and I noticed that the discussion has since been archived before I was able to respond. I just wanted to let you know and apologize for being so late to the party... let me know if there's still an issue going on involving your ANI discussion (in fact, I'd create a new ANI if this is the case), and I'll be happy to take a look and see what I can do.

Thanks for uploading File:Tory Burch logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:47, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
I just saw your revert. There was a popular sentiment on the tp in favour of doing away with that section.[4] Perhaps I should have cited it in my edit summary. FreeKashmiri (talk) 12:45, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Softlavender, please leave my edits in the JANE AUSTEN entry alone; they are correct as I wrote them as well as grammatically. Wikipedia's editors and checkers have accepted my edits as correct, and as you are not on their staff I must question your judgement in this. If you continue to revert my edits, I will be forced to report you to Wikipedia for vandalism.TonyPS214 13:43, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

I noticed you revered my edit to Richard Wagner and cited WP:NONDEFINING as your justification. But I'm not sure cause of death falls under the "defining characteristic" requirement. This is partly because I don't think how somebody died can really be called a "characteristic". Or is there something I'm missing? Maximajorian Viridio (talk) 23:49, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I am contacting you in regard to your recent close of a discussion at ANI. The editor the OP was writing about refused to engage in discussion. At quick look at their talk page and their editing history shows they have never once posted or replied on any talk page. Even though this is a content dispute, there is also this communication issue, so what other choice does the OP have but to seek redress at ANI? Please reopen the discussion that with the latest info included in my post can possibly be considered by an admin for action. Thank you - wolf 07:22, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
Please help me understand. You cited WP:COMMONNAME for reverting on Gianni Schicchi. I understand that the guideline is for article titles. Not for using names in an article. I understand that we use common names for article titles. As long as the article title is Dante Alighieri, we can inform our readers about that once in a long article. You could also try to move to Dante, which I agree is the common name. What did I miss? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:31, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Softlavender, thank you for your advise on my ANI request. I have decided to withdraw as I have no time to deal with users such as Future.Perf. I hope that one day he will understand that this is not a way to treat contributors. - Stevepeterson (talk) 03:01, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Softlavender, you left a pretty strong statement on my talk page, please tone it down. I've added edit summaries to most pages, but do occasionally forget. As I get accustomed to doing them again, forgetting tbem will become rarer and rarer....nobody's perfect.....Pvmoutside (talk) 19:30, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
I noticed the Hogarth as I clicked through to your talk, then a Cezanne I hadn't seen in years. They were presented as a pre-impressionist and a social realist, a sort of preface to twentieth century art, but I see them as continuing a coherent … I should stop there :P I like their work a lot!
Anyway, thanks for the reply on my concern. I didn't notice the user blanked it, I was distracted by whatever content I was working, I think it was finding a favourite author had written a paper on some creatures habits. No, it was an Author who had had a species named after himself arguing that it should be called by the traditional name, I was beside myself with joy as you might imagine (if you imagine a user with peculiar interests :).
The user is relishing the idea of combat so I am inclined to frustrate that. I'm not going to switch from researching content to responding to the account, Pvmoutside (talk · contribs), I'm considering just moving away from writing about anything in their scope, which is Animalia. The articles I work on are short, tattered, or next to empty, and have been for a decade. Fixing that, as I am sure you, requires a bit of concentration, a table full of open books, a dozen open tabs, a revert from 'confused user' who has a thing for me …! To me it is clear cut, but I am of course bias; as I have before I eventually be exhausted by the vicious gnomery of game-playing boys and seek to make myself useful elsewhere. In the meantime, I will persist with what I have been doing, the facts are far too interesting to be absent here. Thank you for attending to my concern. cygnis insignis 06:48, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

FYI, the edit you reverted didn't need to be reverted. What my edit did was combine a duplicate reference into 1, thus it named the reference and reused it.

Please remember that in WP:BRD, you must Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary as "Reverting tends to be hostile, making editing Wikipedia unpleasant." Also, read up on the bad reasons to revert. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:00, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Jack Lowden shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I'm trying to get a feel for what protocol is, and why things are done certain ways. Why did you post X-Editor's "warning" on the Gab talk page, instead of his own Talk page? I assume it's either A) Because that's how it's done, or B) What you were saying to him applies to others, or C) Both. If it's B or C, I have questions, particularly with regard to "quoting Torba", because that's been a pending issue with me for several weeks now, i.e. is there some kind of ban on quoting Torba, or was it X-Editor's edits-specific, etc... I have other questions besides this re: Wikipedia policy and how it applies to the article on Gab.Tym Whittier (talk) 05:55, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
I fear we are having some difficulty in this article. It appears you have an attachment to the article that precludes other editors from improving it. If this continues we should call upon the services of Wikipedia to intervene so the article can be brought into proper encyclopedia standards. I mean no disrespect to you, but some of the changes you are making show a lacking in proper training and experience in writing. For example, one never writes "in order to" when referencing something that was done for a purpose. That is taught in the first year of a writer's education. The words "in order" are unnecessary and meaningless, which is why they are considered improper style. I realize not every Wikipedia editor can be a professional editor, but we must always try to adhere to the rules of English grammar and style. I assure you, that is my only interest in this or any other Wikipedia article. Just because something has been incorrect for more than a decade is no reason to allow it to continue. I would like to encourage you to work with me in removing writing that has improper grammar and style instead of claiming some type of ownership over the article. Please remember that we are colleagues in our efforts here, not adversaries. All the best to you. MarydaleEd (talk) 00:54, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
...so bringing it here.
As for your bringing up my previous IBANs -- I have to say, I'm disappointed. You know quite well that all but the two most recent (which were imposed under very questionable circumstances) were put in place at my request to protect me from one-way hounding (they were two-way basically because I chose to minimize drama by taking advantage of the fact that the other party in each case also claimed they wanted a two-way IBAN, and not having to convince the peanut gallery at ANI that a one-way sanction is required is always the best way to prevent drama): and the other parties to virtually all of them have long since left the project because they kept violating the bans! If you don't agree with me, User:Curly Turkey and everyone else (pinging CT since you, he and I have a positive and collaborative history and I'd really like to hear his take on what you wrote) regarding the Pearl Harbour stuff, the copyvio, and all the rest, that's fine -- you're entitled to your opinion -- but bringing up other unrelated sanctions as though they had been placed on me for disruption on my part is something only the very worst type of Wikipedia editors do, and I seriously expected better from you.
In fact I still do. I consider you a friend a great Wikipedian, and I'm perfectly willing to talk this out with you to figure out what I might have done to provoke that remark.

For the Arbitration Committee --Cameron11598 (Talk) 17:01, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
I agree with your focus on "readability", however there is meaning that I also think needs to be included. In case you don't know, Dissenter is both website and "extension", and they are two very different things. Both exist, and both should be mentioned as if they exist separately. The extension is an add-on that drops a dialogue box on top of whatever web page you happen to be looking at. This is where the term "overlay" comes from (although it is technically inaccurate; it's the word we have from RS). In contrast, the website is simply that. A standalone website with a URL that you can browse to and post comments there. I assume the website and the extension share a common database, as comments made via website appear to those using the extension, and vice versa. I'm not as concerned with HOW it's said, and will trust your wordsmithing skills and judgement, however I would like the article to make reference to both as if they are two different things. Failing to do this might create the impression that (for example) when "bad things" happen to the extension (being booted out of Google Play Store, or whatever), something "bad" happens to the website also. Both exist, more or less, independent of each other.Tym Whittier (talk) 20:36, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
To all interested parties: Now that it has a proper shortcut, the current events noticeboard has now officially opened for discussion!
WP:CEN came about as an idea I explored through a request for comment that closed last March. Recent research has re-opened the debate on Wikipedia's role in a changing faster-paced internet. Questions of WP:NOTNEWS and WP:Recentism are still floating around. That being said, there are still plenty of articles to write and hopefully this noticeboard can positively contribute to that critical process.
Thank you for your participation in the RFC, and I hope to see you at WP:CEN soon! –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 19:10, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

[[8]] "Some authors think that World War II could have ended earlier if Marshall had had his way; others think that such an invasion would have meant utter failure." This kind of thing drives me crazy. Assuming this isn't considered "good writing", is there some formula or method to fix it so that no intended meaning is lost? My first thought was "...if Marshall had been allowed to have...", but that introduces the idea that someone or something was stopping him. I could research the whole thing, but I'd rather just plug & play alternate language that doesn't require the Editor to learn the full context before tweaking things, if possible.Tym Whittier (talk) 01:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, I was tired. But I can't fix it from my iPad, or at least I know from bitter experience that I'm likely to make more of s mess, and won't be home for several hours. Any chance you can fix it for me with an edit summary saying I asked you to fix it? If you could, that would be great. Doug Weller talk 08:49, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Greetings, Softlavender. I edited your sandbox as part of a campaign to remove lint errors from Wikipedia. For more on why this important, see Wikipedia:Linter.

User:Softlavender/sandbox also has Obsolete HTML tags and Missing end tag lint errors, but these are considered low priority lint errors.

Hi again, I noticed that you made three comments on my talk page today. I am trying to expand Dance in India articles, where the article boxes do not reflect current articles. Also, some of these articles have more relevant information in foreign language articles (i.e. Hindi, Tamil, Tulu, Kannada, Bengali, Assamese, etc.) that should be translated by editors that are more fluent in the articles' respective languages. Many of the pages also are lacking in descriptive information that should be expanded by those familiar with it, warranting expand language tags, stub tags, and the like. Many of the articles also lack images or descriptive boxes that many similar Dance in India articles have. I will make sure to fill out the description of edits field in the future. What is the best method expand the Dance in India articles properly, without causing unintended disruption? Thank you for all your help, and sorry for any inconveniences I may have caused! Chickensarebleepssorryuncle (talk) 17:11, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
Another question- This is my first month editing, and I am a bit unfamiliar with the technical terms you left on my talk page. What are those in layman's terms? Thank you so much! Chickensarebleepssorryuncle (talk) 21:58, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
Being a Language Arts teacher, the last thing I want to cause is disruption, do most of my edits have to be on an informational basis, and are expanding dance in India hyperlinks, photos, and requesting to expand such articles, whether it be there is no longer article or there is a larger article in a different language considered contributions or disruptions?
For example, this article, has information in its respective article on Tulu Wikipedia, and its article on Kannada Wikipedia, that cannot be found on its English counterpart. What would you suggest my best course of action be to have those more familiar with the languages expand the English article? Chickensarebleepssorryuncle (talk) 16:52, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
Hey, am I permitted to add or update images?

The file File:FantasiaCDcover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free cover art being used in a decorative manner in The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Dukas)#Fantasia. If this was being used for primary identification purposes in a stand-alone article about the album itself, it would almost certainly be fine per item 2 of WP:NFCI. Non-free use of album cover art in other articles or in other ways, however, tends to require a much stronger justification per WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and there is no real sourced critical commentary discussing the cover itself in the "Fantasia" section to provide the context for non-free use required by NFCC#8. The non-free use of soundtrack album cover art is almost always not considered acceptable in subsections about the corresponding films themselves per WP:FILMSCORE, and the same rationale can be applied to this type of non-free use at all. Mentioning the album by name and even discussing the music contained therein is not in and of itself a sufficient justification for the non-free use of the album's cover art.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:06, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello.
We likely never intersected – I was out of touch with en.Wikipedia when you edited actively, and also due to your humanitarian interests. Some of your metapedian contributions show you as one of persons who uphold a distinct First-World Western character of the English Wikipedia (including, but not limited to, the European norms of honor). But this character relies on (numerical) dominance of Westerners, and demography of English-speaking peoples makes this condition not sustainable. Advancement of Internet services to certain countries (previously stricken with poverty) gradually undermines the Western superiority in numbers. Hence the community of en.Wikipedia perfectly may become a multicultural sludge full of sycophancy (like one of Wikimedia Commons) in the future. IMHO some coordinated action aimed to deter conmen, sycophants, and bigots from obtaining elevated privileges could at least delay (if not avert) the impeding multicultural takeover of the site.
I know few trusted people here, largely due to my years-long wikibreak. And very few of them are active metapedically. That’s why your assistance could be valuable. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:39, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on the ArbCom/Bbb23 fracas, which I heartily agree with. Bbb23 was, bar none, the best CU I've seen in my 15 years here, and I have no doubt that much of that was due to the "fishing" checks which ArbCom thought were out of bounds. My understanding is that other language Wikipedias, working under the very same WMF policies, are much more liberal in allowing their CUs to investigate, and I simply don't understand why that isn't the case on English Wikipedia as well. Perhaps too much influence from American fear of the state? I dunno, all I know is that ArbCom's decisions this year have been astoundingly bad, that they seem to care more about what WMF and T&S thinks of them then they do about protecting the community, and their decisions reflect that.
Anyway, I threw my rant at the time that Bbb23 was relieved of his CU bit, now you've had your turn. I'm just waiting for the next election, where I plan on questioning any current arbitrators who decide to run as thoroughly as I can about their individual responsibilities for the bad decisions the committee has made so far this term.

I guess you may not know this yet because it all resolved so suddenly, but actually the entire issue I had with Sandbh got itself resolved between the two of us just a few days ago. As you can see, we've provided a joint statement to that effect, and you can see the discussion at Sandbh's talk page that led to this sudden but happy resolution. Basically, that's because it seems that the official process from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (the relevant body) that was meant to solve the eternal-bickering-inducing La vs Lu issue that started all this appears not to have gotten stalled after all as I had thought. Therefore, we've amicably agreed to freeze the dispute and wait for the official results of their deliberation before we reopen anything, since in any case whatever consensus there is now will certainly have to be reevaluated in the light of an actually official decision on the subject. This understanding is also why I'm extremely sure this cannot flare up again, because until an official decision appears neither of us plan on starting it again, and once an official decision appears the debate on what Wikipedia should show probably becomes orders of magnitude less controversial.
Currently we are working quite fine with each other and User:R8R on the Periodic table article based on suggestions by User:EdChem who so kindly mediated this. In fact R8R has helpfully trimmed down the section on that very La vs Lu issue that started this bickering to something more like its due weight. Since neither I nor Sandbh have complained about the result, it seems to me that we've successfully come up with something neutral and properly weighted, and that normal WP behaviour is going on again.
I admit that this is probably not an outcome that would have been expected from just last week, but apparently getting taken to ArbCom against both of our wills was unpleasant enough that it created the funny result that we both apparently decided shelving the issue between ourselves would be far less bad than duking it out at ArbCom.
I also admit that this did not occur together with DePiep, and that it probably should have. OTOH, he seems to also have been added to the case as a party by the OP against his will if I read the situation right, and in general the dispute I had with Sandbh was a very separate thing from the ones DePiep had with other project participants (and mostly not with me in any case). I hope the second one can be resolved as easily as the first was, though. Double sharp (talk) 17:14, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Softlavender, I saw your revert on the talk page of Bryce Hall (internet personality). I may have started the article, but it is not "my article" and other editors have and are encouraged contribute. This is the first I've heard of such an objection to an article assessment. Almost all of my ratings (this one included) are based on the semi-automatic WP:RATER ORES. I've read through WP:ASSESS and see nothing about not rating articles you have started (other than A, GA, FA which require independent review).

Since you may have some expertise on the guy, would it be possible for you to look over a fairly heated debate thats happening right now at Talk:2024 Russian presidential election#Navalny?

We disagree on this one, which is fine. Either the sourcing has had a negative improvement since you accepted it, or it was always to PR pieces and press releases. I have not checked the detail. As a courtesy I am letting you know I have sent it to AfD. As a reviewer myself I make no comment at AfD about AfC acceptances, and I remain neutral on any of my own acceptances sent by others for deletion discussion.
I would not have rated it as C Class, had I accepted it. It is full of WP:BOMBARD, and is an obvious paid piece even without the paid declaration by the creating editor.

An article that you have been involved with (John Gielgud, roles and awards ) has content that is proposed to be removed and moved to another article (List of awards and nominations received by John Gielgud). Notice of this proposal has not been circulated by the nominator to contributors. If you are interested, please visit the discussion.
The article List of awards and nominations received by John Gielgud already exists and has been created duplicating material in the article John Gielgud, roles and awards: it has therefore been nominated for deletion, and the disucssion can be found here.
