WP:HUFFPOCON

Just an FYI also that WP:HUFFPOCON also applies only to articles from 2018 or earlier. It's not a relevant policy for a 2024 article due to the restructuring of Huffington Post in 2018. Simonm223 (talk) 12:18, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Date format

Please note that the correct date format is Month day comma year.Luganchanka (talk) 15:06, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

@Luganchanka: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Rumble_(company)&diff=prev&oldid=1259129106 these edits are incorrect. The format is either March 25, 2024 (US) or 25 March 2024 (everywhere else) --FMSky (talk) 15:08, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, this is regarding the Tupac page

Hi @FMSkyI see that you recently edited the Tupac page but your edits were reverted by some users who are clearly spreading puffery. There seems to be a clear issue of puffery on that page, which I see you have opposed. I would love you to contribute to the TalkPage under the section “Academic views”. I have recently written: “Looking at the history, there was no discussion or consensus about academics being mentioned both in the first paragraph and the fourth. I believe it can be mentioned in the fourth paragraph, but not in the first, because it’s not that notable, and it’s already covered in the second sentence which covers his influence. I’m against puffery. Other users have already shown opposition to this puffery regarding the topic of academics such as @FMSkyand @JustAnotherCompanion”.

Progressive death metal->Technical death metal

Hello! I noticed you switched the redirect for Progressive death metal from Technical death metal back to progressive metal, saying they are not the same after I said they were. I was wondering why that is the case. If you look at the edit history for Progressive death metal back when it had an infobox, the infobox for it is literally the same one used in Technical death metal, except Avant-garde metal is replaced with progressive rock, and the source for jazz fusion is removed. As far as I can tell, both progressive and technical death metal are basically the same with no apparent differences. If you know the differences, please do list the sources that describe them, otherwise, I see no reason that progressive death metal can't redirect to technical death metal. Moline1 (talk) 21:57, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, do you have any sources confirming that they are synonyms? Just googling "progressive death metal vs technical death metal" suggests they are different, see for example here https://loudwire.com/differences-technical-progressive-metal/ --FMSky (talk) 22:05, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

This Reddit thread also talks about their differences: https://www.reddit.com/r/TechnicalDeathMetal/comments/7cunav/prog_vs_tech/

Between Loudwire and Reddit, I see now that they are, in fact, different. Thank you for providing that Loudwire source! Moline1 (talk) 18:49, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Meghan Trainor image

Hi FMSky, I wanted to hear your reasoning for categorizing the previous image as "the worst infobox photo of all time" as that is quite a harsh description. The image has a clear resolution, good lighting, and most importantly, is reflective of how Trainor looks right now. Looking at any video of Trainor recently (example), she does not look as chubby as she does in the one you have replaced it with. All of the promotional material related to her recent music and tour has a blue theme as well. There are a few options in this category that we can work with, and there is also this one, which does not have an awkward half-illumination. Thoughts on the other ones?--NØ 17:25, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Just to clarify, are we talking about this image?

--FMSky (talk) 17:29, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

This might work imo

• 

--FMSky (talk) 17:33, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

This was the image previously in the article before the revert.

These might be good options from the Vogue video (the other images can be seen in the category).

• 

Although, if you think all shots from the Vogue video are poor, I much prefer this one to the one currently used.--NØ 17:43, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

That one is good too, but yeah the Vogue ones arent great --FMSky (talk) 18:27, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

This discussion has nothing to do with me of course but I found this discussion from the image files used in it and honestly the Vogue video ones aren't horrible but it's better to have a full face picture. I actually really like the microphone one as it is one of the only good screenshots from the video, if you had brought this to the talk page you would've been told the same and I was gonna use it but it seems you two already agreed on a different picture which is also okay.

Russell Brand Sexual misconduct allegations

Hello, you recently deleted an edit of mine on the Russell Brand page regarding his Sexual misconduct allegations. The edit was factual and included a news source. I'm going to restore the edit unless I get a valid reason to why it was deleted?

It was in regards to multiple right-wing celebrities having come out to defend Brand's accusations of sexual assault including Andrew Tate, Elon Musk, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Mark Collett and Ian Miles Cheong.

Many of the celebrities who have come out to defend Russell Brand have also been accused of sexual assault, they are all just as bad as each other. Stellar master elite (talk) 03:56, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, as stated twice in edit summaries, the reasoning is WP:Vice, which is not considered a reliable source. And your last comment also doesn't suggest you're here to address this issue from a neutral perspective

More puffery on the Tupac page

Hi, something needs to be done on the Tupac page as the childish puffery is still going on. RapForever863 (talk) 17:45, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I agree that this version of the lead has too much puffery, maybe a WP:3O or WP:RFC makes sense. User Pier1999 is problematic anyway and seems to only have edited this one article since registering past March. --FMSky (talk) 18:16, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes I agree with you. The puffery was too much. Also, @HumanRightsIsCool is also responsible for a lot of this, as he/she often reinstates Pier1999’s edits. RapForever863 (talk) 19:50, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

On a deletion you made to my edit

On the page for Nancy Mace, I saw that you deleted my edit regarding her X post and it getting blocked, citing WP:NOTNEWS and WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. I'm a noob at Wikipedia stuff, so why did you delete my edit for those two specific reasons? I didn't think it fell under original research, since I simply paraphrased an article from The Hill. As for NOTNEWS, I don't think it falls under that due to one big thing. X never moderates their platform, so it's honestly pretty insane that they actually did something. Also, it is relevant (in my opinion) because Mace took the fight to social media and got immediately humiliated by an AI moderator. Maybe I'm just biased, but it was pretty funny to see her finally get what she had coming. ApteryxRainWing🐉 | Roar with me!!! | My contributions 12:19, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

It's just standard social media drama that happens every day, I don't think it's that notable, especially since the section is already pretty long. Her post was also just "limited" not removed entirely.

Tupac page

Hi @FMSky, more puffery is going on on the Tupac page. Both my and your edits have been reverted in favour of puffery. Something needs to be done RapForever863 (talk) 20:10, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @RapForever863: You can request page protection here - FlightTime (open channel) 20:32, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @FlightTime, I would like to remove all the puffery first, but I will need consensus. @FMSky already agrees with me that the lead has too much puffery. How can we move forward with this? RapForever863 (talk) 20:42, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Your recent revert

Hi, not sure why you reverted again as your concern was addressed with a reliable source in support of the text. PoliticalPoint (talk) 20:35, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Will assume good faith that you simply did not see the reliable source in support of the text. --PoliticalPoint (talk) 22:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

808s & Heartbreak

Hi FMSky,

I see that you’re an experienced editor on here and like to add sources to genres to make sure that they are correct, however on 808s & Heartbreak the genres are wrong, they say that the album is an electropop, art pop and synth-pop album, synthpop is not sourced, can you please change the infobox to say:

• Electropop
• art pop
• hip hop
• R&B as they all explicitly call the album those genres? Many thanks85.106.182.246 (talk) 17:54, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Reed Mullin.jpg

A note of caution re IP edits

Please be careful about dismissing and reverting IP edits, like here on Nintendo Badge Arcade. I can't find anything wrong with the end state the IP had because it was significantly improving the quality of writing (eg moving away from using "you", proseline, etc.) — Masem (t) 13:01, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

My main issue was that they were removing dates for no reason, actually I saw them doing that in a number of articles

The dates were being replaced with month-year dating, which most of the time is better for summarizing articles. Rarely are exact dates needed for video game articles outside the release dates. --Masem (t) 17:19, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Media Matters and Brett Cooper

I attributed what I wrote to Media Matters and made it clear it was their opinion. Does that not count as being unbiased when I put their words in quotation marks? JPHC2003 (talk) 03:39, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

It does but if there's no other source talking about it other than Media Matters its doubtful if this story is even WP:DUE --FMSky (talk) 03:44, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Hmm...

What are you exactly doing here, despite removing reliable sources that I put at an A7X song? Idinahui660 (talk) 01:52, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
