Question about COMMONNAME
Hello. Sorry to bother you. I want to hear your opinion about something, since you are an admin but also, understands how Pro wrestling works. Everytime a wrestler changes his name, the IPs and users wants to change the name of the article. As you saw, Paige/Saraya. Most of them argues WP:NAMECHANGES, since most reports uses the current name in reports. But this rule forgets the weight of the career. For example, Paige worked for years as Paige. Had a movie about her, appeared on Total Divas. So, a few weeks as Saraya doesn't equal her work as Paige. Same with Big Show. He works as commentator as Paul Wight, but her previous work as Big Show (20 years, world titles, main evented WrestleMania, some films) has more weight. My main complain is WP:NAMECHANGES "Sometimes the subject of an article will undergo a change of name". Sometimes, but in pro wrestling is quite often. In 10 years, Jon Huber had 5 names (Brodie Lee, Luke Harper, Harper, Luke Harper and Mr. Brodie Lee) for example. So, what do you think? HHH Pedrigree (talk) 19:15, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi! I think these guidelines are intentionally obtuse. My view is that we should have an article at a name which is most likely to be understood by the most people. COMMONNAME suggests we should have articles at the most commonly used name, but there is some nuance. The way I interpret it is that NAMECHANGES means we should give more weight to new names, but we shouldn't just change the name of things because the subject has. I still think Luke Harper is the most recognisable name in the list you gave me. Sometimes using new names is done with the idea that the subject will be more recognisable by that name over time. However, in this case it isn't true (as they died). There is an argument that someone who changes their name a lot should actually just be on their actual name, which I wouldn't be against either. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:26, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, I think it's a case-per-case situation. For example, Nikki Cross/ASH. She wrestled for years as Cross. Then, she changed to ASH and people suddenly wanted to change the name, despite her previous career as Cross. As ASH, she won the Money in the bank, The Women's Tag Ttitle, the Women's World title, so she has a lot of exposure. Back to Nikki Cross and people want to change the name again based on "she has a previous carrer as Cross", then, the article shoulnd't be changed in first place. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 15:13, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

- Hi! I do indeed write articles for cue sports. I must admit, I have looked at a few of these previously, but struggled to find third party sourcing for them. The ACBS should absolutely have an article, so I will get to that when I have time. Otherwise, the six-red continental championship might be difficult to sell without some newspaper sources or similar, but might be notable.

Ai: The Somnium Files Question
Hey there!
When I nominated the article for GA status, I did it with an intent to gather feedback for what to fix and what to improve on with getting the article to GA status, but based on your response, I assume that there is a different way for doing that before nominating? If there is, could you tell me what that way would be?
I'm in the middle of the transition of being a newbie and being covered by WP:GF, to trying to expand outwards to more things I like doing and things that I am passionate about, while coming out of that initial new person phase, so it's been a bit of a rough ride for me the last few days, so apologies in advance for mistakes that I have/going to make. Trust me, I am trying my best and trying to review guidelines that I need to follow when making decisions. Best, Zekerocks11 (talk) 17:45, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi! You are of course free to renominate the article, but I removed the tag as if I had reviewed it, I would have failed it immediately. The reception section doesn't really cover all it should, and there are both grammatical and MOS errors in the prose. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:40, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
Skyrush GA review
In case you missed the ping, I have brought up issues with your GA review of Skyrush at Template:Did you know nominations/Skyrush. While these problems are in the process of being resolved (and may actually be resolved by the time you see this message), they are concerning nonetheless. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:59, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- I'm confused. These seem significantly outside of the bounds of a DYK review - and if you think the GA review was poor, WP:GAR is the location. Most of the issues seem fair, such as not sourcing items as they only appear in the lede - but we shouldn't be sourcing that an item DIDN'T win an award. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:17, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- Epicgenius has sourced that it didn't win an award, which was the proper thing to do. DYK criterion 4 states:
"Within policy – Articles for DYK must conform to the core policies of Verifiability"
. It was my responsibility to make sure that the article followed that. I'm taking up this issue of your GA review here instead of GAR because:- Alternative #3 to GAR is notifying major contributors and GAR should be a last resort, not a first resort
- GAR would only deal with the surface-level issue of an article not meeting the GA criteria – it does not deal with the fundamental issue of a user's reviews
- Evidently something has gone wrong when a DYK review is far more thorough than a GA review, and it's better to discuss that with the reviewer so that it does not occur again
- Frankly, your response has worried me further. The crux of the issues with that article was that there seemed to be no/few checks being made that the material was being supported by the sources cited – it wasn't a simple case of
"not sourcing items as they only appear in the lede"
. Given that the review seemed to concentrate on prose issues, I can't believe that this has to be said, but do you make verifiability checks for GA reviews? And did you do so in this instance? Sdrqaz (talk) 18:14, 11 November 2022 (UTC)- Hi. I'm still a bit bemused why we would require someone to source something that didn't happen. I do indeed do spot checks during a GA review, but generally only mention them when something pops up, same as I do for copyright. It's worth noting that checking every source to see if it completely covers what the text says is not part of the GA (or FA for that matter) criteria. I am glad you have found additional things that can and have been addressed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:44, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
- Personally, I think that the previous formulation (
"in every year except 2016 and 2020, Skyrush has been ranked"
) is subtly different to saying something like "Skyrush was ranked in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022" or "Skyrush was ranked in 2012–2015, 2017–2019, and 2021, 2022" because the ones in red don't say what happened in 2016 and 2020 but the green one does (or at least certainly implies it). A roughly analogous example may be a child saying that they're friends with everyone in their class except x, compared to them listing their friends. Regardless, as far as concerns for that article went, that was a minor one that I was willing to let go if Epicgenius disagreed with me. I'm aware that the prevailing practice at FAC is to do spot-checks only, but if a non-insignificant volume is getting through, then perhaps at the very least more of them should be done. Sdrqaz (talk) 12:58, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

TFA
 |
Thank you today for 2022 Welsh Open (snooker), introduced: "It may surprise you to learn that I don't get to see a lot of professional snooker live. This was the second event I managed to get to in the last five years. A superb week in a great venue - with some images taken during the event in the article. The Welsh Open is often a good but minor event, but for two years straight has had a great narrative. The previous year's winner Jordan Brown won his first event, ranked 80th in the world. This year, perennial journeyman Joe Perry won the event, defeating the majorly in-form Ricky Walden in the quarter-finals, Jack Lisowski (who had won a match of the season contender against Ali Carter in the round prior), a serial winner Judd Trump in the final to win his second ranking event, the first being a minor 2015 Players Tour Championship Grand Final win. Perry's win was at age 47, the second oldest winner of a ranking event (at the time). A great event"! - Congratulations also to the Wikicup successes! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:26, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

lad
why do you keep making pointless deletions. like what exactly is your rationale behind deleting a mention of an assist? or the fact it was the second game? please explain. i don't wish to argue, but it does often feel like your edits of the information i've added are more driven by spite than anything else, as you never ever edit things to be better but altogether remove it.

- Don't call me a "lad". You keep introducing items that have either undue WP:WEIGHT, editorialising (such as stating how many people were looking forward to a match), and often adding NPOV things. That combined with the mass amounts of copyright infringement in photographs, a WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality and no WP:CIVILITY doesnt look good on you.

- huh? really? that was your first point of contention here? smh why do I bother...
- stating that Argentina needed to avoid defeat wasn't NPOV or editorialising. it was an objective fact, yet you removed it. furthermore, you constantly keep reverting my edits, and have broken 3RRR. what even Godofwarfan333 (talk) 12:36, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Godofwarfan333: Deleting sourced content with multiple reliable references on purpose and then leaving pointless comments in the edit summary, as you just did on the article ([1]), is another proof of your lack of competence. GenoV84 (talk) 12:49, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- @GenoV84: Deleting sourced content with multiple reliable references on purpose and then leaving pointless comments in the edit summary, as you just did on the article, is proof of your lack of competence lmao. if you were even a bit self-aware you'd realise you've been doing exactly what you accuse me of doing.

- @Godofwarfan333: You can play the victim as much as you want; many established editors have already reverted your disruptive edits several times, for the same reason. Everyone can see that you are not here to build an encyclopedia. GenoV84 (talk) 14:47, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
