Your signature

Hi.
As explained here, because of the colour scheme used, some users might find your current signature difficult to be read. I suggest you to update the colour scheme, or use a different (dark) background for the signature. Regards, —usernamekiran(talk) 00:09, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of living persons (BLP) policy

Hi LovelyGirl7; regarding your recent edits; you speculatively added a name sourced from an unreliable source to an article talk page, which I've removed. Here on Wikipedia, we can't add speculation about things we think we know without using reliable sources, which include things like academic papers, books and other media from trusted publishers, trusted news sources, etc—even on talk pages, which are just as visible as articles. I realise you're a new editor; please take some time to read our Biography of living persons policy, and peruse the links in the 'welcome' message above. We have to be very careful about this sort of thing, and editors falling foul of these policies are often blocked if they continue to add unsourced and inadequately sourced text, or contravene BLP policy (even on talk pages). Take your time to get to know the website and enjoy your editing, but please be careful what you add in your edits. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:30, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some advice

Here are some pieces of advice:

  1. You do not need a space before a citation, since our citation format here on Wikipedia is footnotes. The citation should come right after the period or comma.
  2. Try not to use bare URLs in references because these make the site more susceptible to link rot, since bare URLs are harder for the bots to find archived versions when the website that is being cited ultimately goes defunct. Also, it is best to provide as much information in the citation as possible. I strongly recommend using the citation template, which should appear in the upper left hand corner of your edit screen.
  3. Be wary of internet sources, especially ones using URLs that end in .com or .org, because anyone can register a domain under these endings. There are good web sources out there with domains with these endings (e.g. www.washingtonpost.com, www.nytimes.com, etc.), so this is not a hard-and-fast rule, but I still recommend caution. The best sources are usually academic ones, such as a peer-reviewed academic journal or a book published by an academic publisher (e.g. any university press, Routledge, Wiley-Blackwell, Springer, Walter de Gruyter, Springer, Macmillan, etc.). Look for sources written by reputable scholars. In this case, there may be some sources written by scholars who are known for debunking pseudoscience. (On the other hand, there may not be any, since David Meade has only really been famous for a few months and is mostly obscure.) --Katolophyromai (talk) 02:25, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Katolophyromai: thank you so much. I feel your a mentor to me, which I love.
As for your advice, I actually do use the citation format that has the “citeweb”. The news sources I like to use for David Meade are good sources. I avoid using web blogs (Wikipedia doesn’t allow web blogs) and UK tabloids like Daily Express and Daily Mail (unreliable). I do sometimes use washingtonpost or newyorktimes. The citation template is a good idea but I also like using “citeweb” too. They’re both good ideas either ways.
As for the article, I did talk about what David Meade was then just a conspiracy theorist. He even said he was a forensic investigator, writer, and researcher. He also did appear on TV radios. I both added it in the article.
Thanks for your advice my friend. —LovelyGirl7 talk 02:38, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited David Meade (conspiracy theorist), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Daily Star (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

The Road To My First Ever GA Article

Now that the article is B-Class and now my David Meade article is closer to being a GA article, what things can I add or change to nominate it for GA?

I’m requesting copy editing on the second paragraph for the lead section since I think it needs to be better than that, but anything else I can add to do so. I’ve read the GA criteria and it doesn’t meet it just yet. Just a couple things I have to work on before I nominate it for my first ever GA. LovelyGirl7 talk 15:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To me it seems you have read the criteria and know what needs to be done; you can request a WP:Peer review if you want more input from other editors. I see you already are aware of the Guild of Copy Editors. Huon (talk) 18:37, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Huon: thank you. --LovelyGirl7 talk 19:20, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When David Meade Gets A Nomination For GA

Whenever I nominate David Meade for Good Article status (that's when I think it's ready; so far it's not yet), which topic under the Good article topics do you think David Meade would best fit under? "Philosophy and religion" or "Social sciences and society"? --LovelyGirl7 talk 20:01, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, LovelyGirl7! This kind of question would be best asked over at the Teahouse, but this particular article would probably come under "Philosophy and Religion". -- Cheers, Alfie. (Say Hi!) 20:39, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Alfiepates: Feel free to give some feedback on the article here. --LovelyGirl7 talk 01:11, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I’m now getting to the point where I’m nominating my David Meade article. Questions: 1. Do you think it’s okay to nominate it while there’s a peer review on it as well? 2. Also, to nominate it, is there a talk page to do so? How do I submit the nominee for GA?

—LovelyGirl7 talk 03:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Answers to your questions:
  1. I personally would wait for the peer review to end before you nominate it. It will give you more information into how likely it is to be a GA.
  2. Please see WP:GAI for nomination instructions.
Vermont | reply here 10:05, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Vermont: it kinda sucks I may have to wait after my peer review to nominate it for GA. I’m hoping the review is due a little sooner (like by February 20). While I wait though, I could shift do more improvements to my article, and/or improve another skepticism, Christianity, or astronomy article. Either way I will still work on my David Meade article. I’m likely going to improve my article and also maybe do improvements to other related articles to skepticism and maybe Christianity and astronomy. —LovelyGirl7 talk 12:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Vermont: also, if you would like to give feedback on the article, feel free to comment on it's peer review. --LovelyGirl7 talk 13:18, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question about David Meade GA review

The David Meade article I created is a GA nominee and I'm just curious, when does the reviewer create it's GA1 (first nomination) talk page? --LovelyGirl7 talk 22:37, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since the reviewers are volunteers too, we cannot predict when one will take a look at your GA nomination. Please be patient. Huon (talk) 22:45, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder when do peer reviews like the David Meade peer review close (especially if the article becomes GA)? --LovelyGirl7 talk 01:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Whenever they're done. Primefac (talk) 01:23, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I say, wait for a few days. Meanwhile you can familiarise with the process of GA review itself either by just observing it, or by participating in it. I suggest to start by observing first. If not that, you can contribute in any other area that you'd like. I find this to be a good method to take my mind off something when I am waiting. —usernamekiran(talk) 01:26, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Peer reviews can be closed manually when the editor requesting the peer review thinks there has been enough feedback, or they're closed automatically by a bot when there haven't been any new replies for two months. Huon (talk) 01:30, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernamekiran: I'm familiar with GA reviews. I'm supposed to get comments on the GA review when it gets created about if the article meets the criteria for GA class (I'm familiar with it) and even other suggestions on for final improvements. This discussion is a example. --LovelyGirl7 talk 03:45, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Bakker

While I wait on the David Meade article to be reviewed since it's currently a GA nominee, I'm willing to do expansion and improvements on Jim Bakker, another Christian evangelist and preacher. I did added some sources (and made changes to them). Anything I can do to continue expanding and improving the article? --LovelyGirl7 talk 20:10, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At a glance more, and better, sources are still desperately needed. An entire paragraph in a section entitled "crimes" without any sources? No, thanks. Court documents? No, thanks. An entire paragraph, with lengthy quote, solely sourced to himself? No, thanks. Then there's this gem: Falwell called Bakker a liar, an embezzler, a sexual deviant, and "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history." [...] Jim Bakker has also been the subject of criticism. Really? I wouldn't have thought someone ever criticized the "greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history" if I hadn't been told... Huon (talk) 20:40, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Huon: He was also labeled as a false prophet and one of his statements regarding Trump was criticized. I removed "Criticism". --LovelyGirl7 talk 21:01, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. But would you agree that "Jim Bakker has also been the subject of criticism" doesn't provide any meaningful new information when it follows a section including the Fallon comments? It might be best to remove the "Criticism" section altogether and to instead cover those instances of criticism where we also cover the conduct that got criticized. Huon (talk) 21:42, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I just did. I removed the section. —LovelyGirl7 talk 03:04, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One of my sources I added won’t work even when I added date. Could someone help me fix the citation.

Which source is that? Vermont | reply here 19:33, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Vermont: Never mind. It's been  Done. Thanks though! --LovelyGirl7 talk 19:55, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Katolophyromai: I have questions on Talk:Jim Bakker. If you or anyone want to reply there feel free to do so. LovelyGirl7 talk 01:57, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the citation tag has been removed and more citations have been added, what do you think about Jim Bakker? How would you rate it (just curious)? Is there any parts of the article (lead, any sections) that needs improvements? --LovelyGirl7 talk 00:56, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rate it "BLP violation in dire need of copyediting". I have no idea where parts of the content come from, but it's not from the cited sources. The problems with the sources I mentioned last time - inappropriate primary sources in violation of WP:BLPPRIMARY - have not been addressed. The "philosophy" section is an incoherent mess, and no content actually describing Bakker's philosophy is based on independent sources. The only source for Bakker's books seem to be those very books, which I'd take as an indication that the books are not a significant part of Bakker's career and should not be mentioned. Huon (talk) 01:17, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Huon: Per your concern, I added the article to the request for copyediting and mentioned your response as to why it should. --LovelyGirl7 talk 15:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So you don't expect too much from a "copyedit", I'm not interested enough in the article's subject to go hunting for sources and unsourced, contentious content will not be kept in a BLP; however, I'll do my best with the prose and whatever other issues I can fix. All the best, Miniapolis 00:37, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Miniapolis: I expect a better improved article from copyediting, I (and Huon) even said that its "BLP violation in dire need of copyediting". Your doing a fine job, keep it up. As for the Philosophy section, you can leave that out and do the rest of the article since it's in dire need of it. --LovelyGirl7 talk 02:22, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't mind doing the whole article, since I've begun already and it's short. I'll move whatever appropriate content about Bakker's second wife is in the philosophy section to a more-appropriate part of the article. Since some editors think of the GOCE as Acme Cleanup, I just wanted to clarify what I'd be doing (and not doing :-)). All the best, Miniapolis 14:30, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Miniapolis: Go for it. I’m ready for a improved version of it. I moved the second wife sentence to “Early Life” but if you want to move it, go for it. I’m ready to see a much improved and better looking version of the article. —LovelyGirl7 talk 16:19, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm moving along, but there's no need to thank me for every edit! All the best, Miniapolis 02:08, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have questions on the talk page of David Meade (author) under image. I appreciate if someone replies to me there. LovelyGirl7 talk 12:55, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Bakker copyedit

@Miniapolis: Thank you! I’ll nominate Jim Bakker when I think it meets the criteria. —LovelyGirl7 talk 14:47, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Be more careful about your sources...

Hello! I was cleaning up some of the new material you added to the article Jim Bakker and I saw that you cited a website called The Business Standard News, which is a parody site, not a real news site. Please be more careful in the future about making sure to only cite legitimate news sources, especially in BPLs, where it is absolutely essential that all our information must be completely accurate. I strongly recommend doing background research on all the websites you obtain information from before you cite them, especially when their logo is literally the letters "BS" written in fancy cursive. The "About" page to the website flat-out says that they write parody and Snopes.com has whole archive of posts debunking articles they have written. Do not feel too bad, though; they even fooled me for a few minutes before I finally caught on. Just try to be more careful in the future. --Katolophyromai (talk) 21:01, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Katolophyromai: I didn’t know it was a parody source until you told me. Thank you. I’m great at using reliable sources. I will always be careful when it comes to using sources. I don’t feel bad. I’m just doing what I can to find more information about stuff Bakker said. I do hope it becomes a GA article soon though. —LovelyGirl7 talk 23:42, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I try to be friendly; some editors do not see it that way. There have been several who have taken my corrections as insults.

K2-155d‎

I'd suggest you look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/K2-157b (listed under Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Astronomy), to make sure you're not going to get caught in the same issue. Off-hand, it looks like you're providing more information than the list entry, but it's worth making sure.

Also, I'd suggest that you re-phrase this sentence: It is one of 15 exoplanets discovered on March 12, 2018 by Japanese astronomer Teruyuki Hirano on NASA's Kepler telescope at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. It wasn't discovered on March 12th, that was the date it was announced. I suspect there will be no specific date of discovery provided, with K2, it's an extended process. Also, Hirano is at Tokyo IT (not going to abbreviate that), not the Kepler Telescope. Regards, Tarl N. (discuss) 16:58, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tarl N.: I did saw the AFD page and hopefully I don't meet the same fate. As for the sentence, how do you think it looks? I did try to fix the sentence. Feel free to make changes to it. —LovelyGirl7 talk 17:45, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly more precise now. Good luck! Tarl N. (discuss) 00:47, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have been enjoying this article. There's one problem. You are typing it's when you should use its. "It's" is the contraction for it is. Its is the possessive form. (It's a common error)(It is a common error) So I suggest you go through the article and read "it is" wherever you see "it's" and change as needed! Hope this helps. Thanks for contributing such interesting science articles! Regards, Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 16:44, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LovelyGirl7; I noticed several tracts of text in the Legacy section of the article aren't properly sourced; the sources don't support the claims in the article's text. These are now denoted with {{not in source}} templates. Some claims are unsourced; these are denoted with {{citation needed}} templates.

Ed Krassenstein's Notability

A PROD tag has been placed on Ed Krassenstein, citing "No deep coverage from reliable sources, per WP:BIO." If you wish to counter this (and so to keep the article) then you have ONE WEEK to show that there is enough detailed coverage about Krassenstein in reliable, independent sources. I took a look in Google News, and mostly I just found coverage of the asset seizures from him and his brother (like what you already have as refs). The other coverage was mostly either written by Krassenstein himself, or was in non-reliable self-published sources, or were just passing mentions. That's something, but probably not enough to meet the criteria yet. I suggest finding THE BEST FOUR sources you can. Sources that talk about him in depth (a couple of long paragraphs at least), in national newspapers or other high-quality sources. Then on the article's Talk page, start a new section called something like "Notability" and list those sources to show why he is notable (in Wikipedia's special meaning of that term - see here). Then we can remove that PROD tag.--Gronk Oz (talk) 02:56, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gronk Oz: I heard the PROD tag was removed, but I will try my best to show that it's notable as a Wikipedia. I will edit the article as if it were to be deleted in 7 days. If you would like to do good changes in the article, feel free to do so. I will try the best I can to make Ed Krassenstein a notable article, even without the PROD tag. I did mentioned he was involved in a Ponzi scheme (since he and his brother was), but are you sure Behind MLM is unreliable as a source? If it is, I can remove it and change it with a better source. The last sentence in the Reactions section has Twitchy. Feel free to help out as well. --LovelyGirl7 talk 03:16, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gronk Oz: I heard the article is a AFD now. However, I do hope we can work together to improve it before it’s too late. LovelyGirl7 talk 05:26, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LovelyGirl7: Proceed basically the same way. It is important to remember that Notability is not about how well the article is written, so don't spend too much time on that at this stage. Notability is about the references that show this person has been widely and deeply covered. Again, look for the very best sources you can find and list them at the AfD discussion. (There is a good article summarizing what makes "good sources" at WP:42.) Don't go overboard with a lot of sources - it is better to have a few really good ones rather than a lot of poor ones. Apart from that, it would help to clean up the lead so it clearly states what is most notable about this person (according to those sources).
I don't know which way this discussion will go. If it does get deleted, then that is a real milestone in your Wikipedia career. Every experienced editor has had articles deleted, and it is always distressing, but it is part of the road we all walk. Or if it can be saved by improving the references, so much the better.--Gronk Oz (talk) 07:53, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I should mention that I am about to head into the remote country (out of communication) for most of this week, so I'm afraid I won't be able to assist. Good luck.--Gronk Oz (talk) 23:29, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That sucks @Gronk Oz:. Which country is it? Hopefully its not North Korea. --LovelyGirl7 talk 00:23, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My message regarding FA candidate David Meade

If David Meade doesn't pass as a FA nomination, I will still work on it, and try again. Once I solve the issues if/when it fails, I will nominate it again. Thanks! --LovelyGirl7 talk 03:44, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Copying word for word

Hi, you added to Ed Krassenstein: "After the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, he was seen joining the leftist circus advocating for gun bans and the dismemberment of the constitution", sourced to this article on medium.com.

That's not only completely inappropriate language to place in Wikipedia's voice, it's also copied word-for-word from the source, which is plagiarism. (See Wikipedia:Plagiarism.) Please don't do anything like that again. You must summarize the sources in your own words, or quote them as appropriate, with in-text attribution (e.g. Susan Smith wrote that, followed by the quote).

@SlimVirgin: Your right. The edit however has been fixed. I will never add anything biased like this again. Take care Sarah. --LovelyGirl7 talk 23:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you. SarahSV (talk) 23:42, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your question on my talk ("What do you think about the edits I've done to David Meade so far? It's still FA nominee but just wondering"), it's no longer a nominee. As I said at the FAC, it would need a lot of work, and I'm not sure it's possible because of the notability concerns and the lack of biographical information. SarahSV (talk) 01:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sarah: I agree it needs work. How's the sections? --LovelyGirl7 talk 02:30, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
