Hulme
[edit]Hulme has an interesting history re counterculture none of which is captured in the present entry, which i tried to convey but which you deleted. the section on Hulme in the 80s and 90s again reads like a typical middle class history of a sink estate that has been improved, when in reality the examples i cited were instrumental in turning the redbricks and other parts of Hulme into an area that improved socially through anarcho-punk interventions and ironically made it a place that now middle class people want to live in. whilst i respect the entries of the editor that you reverted the page to, the old entry did sound like a sales pitch for an estate agent rather than an accurate description of Hulme in the 1980s and 1990s, and i do not understand your rational for deletion. --BiBouy (talk) 22:19, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hello BiBouy! I ran these changes by Jello Biafra and he found that they weren't quite accurate, I also checked my old Anarcho-CinderPunk zines and agreed. So I deleted the changes for now.--Milowent • hasspoken 17:10, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
ta for friendly reply. can i borrow your zines? 15% Pus band member reliably spoke of jello liking their tape but guess thats not enough. anyway, what about reintroducing the bit i put in about hulme in the following section - hulme in the 1990s and after i.e.
The Underground Cinema at the old bomb shelter, the Intranet Connection Project (which enabled shared internet access), the Bentley-Exchange (a ‘bring and take stall') and the People’s Kitchen (a co-operative providing low-cost organic food) were all developed in the 1990s and 2000s,[21] and a spirit of community activism has continued despite the gentrification of Hulme and other parts of Manchester.
thats properly resourced and referenced and does give a better sense of what hulme was, and still is. can that go back? lots of people in hulme are not happy that it got taken out even if they are as luke warm about Pus as Jello.
i think wiki's great but it is a bit conservative don't you think? the section on schizophrenia is awful - i lectured on the lack of construct validity of this diagnosis for over 15 years but there is no sense of that on wikipedia - the entry on wiki reads like a 1980s text book and is largely make believe (despite all those references) --BiBouy (talk) 21:46, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Spelling Bee
[edit]Please unlock the spelling bee page
- It was locked by an administrator, you can go here Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.--Milowent • hasspoken 18:41, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Speaking as an admin, no this will not be unlocked. The discussion to include these names will need to go to the talkpage, however the inclusion of these names is a BLP violation, especially without sourcing. Also, as a matter to editing, the inclusion of the names is not needed at all. A summary of how many children were in is all that is warranted. RickinBaltimore (talk) 18:43, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello! I see that you have edited this in the past. If you are interested in the article, you may wish to look over a substantial recent edit from an IP that I reverted because it seems suspicious to me. Some of the material is referenced to general books about musical theatre, but much of it seems to be copied out of something, and overall, I doubt its balance and credibility. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:20, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:10, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
WTF? A perfectly good opportunity to get something deleted quickly, and then I discover YOU ROTE IT? I hope you took off your old man glasses before you got on that stage. Drmies (talk) 02:21, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
- Haha! Well, good doctor, this was briefly quite the rage when I wrote the article eight years ago. The Portuguese wikipedia has placed the subject under pt:Tequileiras do Funk, the group that originated the move, which is also a plausible choice. Your deletion of that pronunciation crap that others added was wise, though. In the meantime, perhaps you would be interested in one of my most recent (still start stage) creations, the Gloucester sea serpent. I found that subject the same way I ran across the dance move. By reading the news (not a personal encounter). But in this case, I decided one day to read some newspapers from exactly 200 years ago (August 1818), to see what folks were doing. (In the U.S. South, searching for slaves is always on their list 200 years ago, by the way.) Anyway, I ran across quite a few mentions of this sea serpent thing in different papers. Apparently it was all the rage in the summer of 1818, with sea captains even claiming to be chasing it everywhere. Some people found a dead deformed snake in Gloucester harbor, and all these rich scientific types in Boston decided it was a baby sea serpent, and declared it a new species. Then an actual scientist of merit looked and said "WTF its just a deformed snake." The history of humanity is just Surra de Bundas all the way down.--Milowent • hasspoken 12:42, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

- Greetings. In spite of your previous constructive edits to the article, please do read my rationale for deletion. The subject lacks WP:N, and began the article himself. Check my most recent edits that removed familial self-promotion from his his grandfather's well deserved article. There's a family yen for promotion. Tapered (talk) 23:11, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer
[edit]Hi Milowent. Apart from adding you as an AfC reviewer, your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Minor user rights can now be accorded on a time limited or probationary period, so do check back at WP:PERM/NPR in case this concerns your application. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance. so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. Lourdes 02:26, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
Page Rejected based on local version (re Draft:Valentina Lombardo)
[edit]Hi. You just rejected the page Valentina Lombardo because the italian version was rejected. But the italian version didn’t have all the printed newspapaer arricle added! The source was less! Did you take your decision based on the italian rejection? Have you read all the scanned newspaper article?
Do you know that the first italian rejection was due for insults?
I think the artist has a correct amount of article of italian newspaper (printed and on the web). And i didn’t understand why there are a lot of artist without ANY source.
Can you check the articles? Thanks (G3n10z (talk) 22:23, 13 December 2018 (UTC))
Thanks a lot
- Hello, G3n10z, I did not reject only because of the Italian wikipedia rejections, but overall because the subject does not seem to meet WP:GNG, that was only an additional comment that I made, sorry for any confusion. All these sources are in Italian, wouldn't the Italian wikipedia want an article on the subject if she was notable? The cites in the draft do not show notability, and an Italian newspaper cite like this one [2] is simply a notice of her playing a concert. If you can point out to me some big Italian newspaper articles that have profiled her, I am happy to take a look at them, I will admit its impossible to look over every single cite on these things, so I missed something, I'd like to know! cheers.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:29, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi and thanks for the reply. I know the wp:gng and i think the artist has some articles that don’t contain only ‘trivial mentions’ but i think in these articles the artist is the main topic (IMHO). An article like this: https://d1f2e5m1ff6rug.cloudfront.net/wp_main/wp-content/uploads/ValentinaLombardo_Press_001.jpg
And in this article the newspaper reports a detailed description of the career of the artist: http://www.cittadellaspezia.com/mobile/Golfo-dei-Poeti/Cultura-e-Spettacolo/Martedi-a-Villa-Marigola-la-giovane-65050.aspx
Do you think these can be enough?
Thanks a lot G3n10z (talk) 22:48, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Trout
[edit]Hi, please consider wrapping the trout at the top of the talk page in <span class="sysop-show">...</span>
or at least <span class="autoconfirmed-show">...</span>
tags, to avoid confusion when a new editor visits this page to ask questions about a declined draft. Especially for "sysop-show", this may also make the joke even funnier. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC) (via #wikipedia-en-help)
