Hi Puppies937, I have seen you have expanded the article on Cedric more than 5 x, so I nominated it for a DYK. Feel free to have a look and word an other hook. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 11:19, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

== no wp:self published source ==

Per the discussion at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums/Archive_46#Piero_Scaruffi_-_Final_Verdict_on_using_him_as_a_source_in_reviews there's a very clear consensus here that Scaruffi is not to be used as a source in music/album articles in any capacity. So please, do not add his opinions anymore. It is a wp:self published source. Since this is a long running dispute, any contributor warned by the situation and who doesn't respect it, would encounter sanctions and could be blocked from editing. Thanks. You've been informed because you used this source [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart_Chamber_Phantoms&diff=1074408476&oldid=1000598239 here]. Woovee (talk) 03:42, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, I'm Dl2000. I noticed that you recently removed content from :GX-2 without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Dl2000 (talk) 00:27, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

:Thanks for the explanation of your changes. It looked like some referencing was being removed, but on further review, one of those was a consolidation, but the conversion of the Youtube citation to an external link probably should have been replaced with another, probably more reliable, citation. Anyway, I have generally restored your edits, but flagged areas that could use more footnotes/citations. Dl2000 (talk) 01:20, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help. When you record your work, please follow the instructions in the "Totals" section of the drive (or blitz) page; there's no need to add the date an article was tagged. We use a script to generate the barnstar table, and a lot of extraneous stuff takes a while to remove prior to running the script {{-)}}. All the best, Miniapolis 18:42, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Puppies937.

I'm new to editing Wikipedia and I saw you made some sort of changes to the edits I made on the deflagration page. When I do the compare, which is not visual, I don't understand what you did. The page reads the same as before (I think). One area I'm confused about is when referencing web pages I don't understand the nuances of "live" vs. "archived." Did you fix an error I made in that regard. Thanks in advance. DoktorScience (talk) 21:05, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

:Hi! I just saw your posting on my Talk page. Thank you so much for taking the time to educate me. It was very helpful. I will try to include archived url references as well as live urls from now on.

:Thanks again. DoktorScience (talk) 01:32, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello again. I made more edits on the deflagration page and once again got a CS1 error. This time it was an "archive-url=is malformed:time stamp. Per this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CS1_errors:_archive-url I noticed the archive reference requires a 14 character time stamp (YYYYMMDDhhmmss). Once I added that into the url per the format on the CS1 page, the error went away. Eureka! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DoktorScience (talk • contribs) 03:11, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

I didn't understand your edit. Why are the notes gone? Beshogur (talk) 12:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Beshogur, like I mentioned in my edit summary, the notes are under the "notes" section. I did not delete anything. I was fixing a broken ref and noticed they were getting completely lost in the refs section. Puppies937 (talk) 20:46, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

:I see, but when I click the ^ icon, it doesn't move to the note below. Beshogur (talk) 20:58, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

::I'll take a look at it! Puppies937 (talk)

:::hi Beshogur, I think I fixed it. take a look and let me know if you see any additional issues I can fix. Puppies937 (talk) 00:57, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

:::It's ok, thanks. Beshogur (talk) 11:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, Puppies937, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you have recently been so active in creating biographies of women. I hope there will be many more. If you have not already done so, you might find it useful to look through our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

"USA" should not be used in articles unless it is part of a proper name or in certain situations, like sporting entities, per WP:NOTUSA. SounderBruce 05:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

:SounderBruce - didn't know that, thanks for the heads-up! Puppies937 (talk) 05:17, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Puppies937, For article Augustin Pesnon, I de-orphaned by adding a Pesnon link at List of French people, Musicians section. In addition to "List of ..." articles, a link can sometimes be added to the "See also" section of a relevant article. The Further template is also useful, to add a link, usually at the bottom of a section mentioning the topic. For a long time, I've been de-orphaning Association football biographies by adding the person to yyyy in association football, Births. But that is a bit more complicated as I use the PetScan tool to extract a list of biographies to work on. Hope these ideas are helpful, otherwise all the details are at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Orphan#Suggestions_for_how_to_de-orphan_an_article Suggestions_for_how_to_de-orphan_an_article]. Regards, JoeNMLC (talk) 12:53, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Where are you getting these birth dates from in edits like Special:Diff/1242064434 and Special:Diff/1242064889? If you've added dates to other biographies, please go back and add citations to reliable sources or remove them. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

:Hi NinjaRobotPirate, any dates like that are pulled from whatever is in the article already. In those cases, the year of birth is in the categories tags, added by another editor. I ALWAYS source information when I add to an article, but when adding infoboxes, I just use the information already present. Puppies937 (talk) 11:09, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

:: If you add dates to an infobox that you don't source, that's still adding unsourced content to a BLP. Don't do that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

:::In this case -- and this is a genuine question -- should I not add infoboxes to pages that are entirely unreferenced? I am just going through the maintenance tag for pages needing infoboxes. I typically then tag a page as unreferenced/blp unreferenced if it is not already tagged but I do add the infobox using the information in the article. Just trying to understand where the line is. Puppies937 (talk) 17:29, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

:::: The problem isn't with infoboxes, it's unsourced content being replicated. If you add an infobox to an article saying that someone was born in 1960 or whatever, and that's not sourced in the article anywhere, you've added unsourced content to Wikipedia. If it's already sourced in the article body, it doesn't have to be sourced in the lead/infobox also, and there's no need to clutter the infobox or whatever with more citations. It never hurts to have a citation, though.

As to whether any article in particular needs an infobox, there was a whole big Arbcom case about that. Some people got banned from adding/removing infoboxes, and the topic was put under "contentious topics", like BLPs. I personally think BLPs should have infoboxes when there's enough important and well-sourced content to warrant one. If there's only enough content to fill in one parameter (or maybe just two), I usually leave it out. That's just me, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:06, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Puppies937,

Please use Twinkle to tag pages for deletion. Go into your Twinkle Preferences to check off the box that states "Notify the page creator" so that the article creator is notified when you've tagged one of their articles for deletion. You can also check the boxes for all of the CSD criteria if you ever tag pages for speedy deletion. It's important for content creators to receive these notifications. Twinkle makes this easy and will even maintain a deletion log for you. It remembers all of the templates so that you don't need to. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:03, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

:thank you!! Puppies937 (talk) 19:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Regretfully I had to remove your prod. Please don't take it personally; it's the rules. This was [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Susan_M._Campbell&diff=next&oldid=342423988&diffonly=1 already prodded in the past], and the prod was removed by the late great {{U|DGG}}, may his memory be a blessing. You have two options: try to fix the broken article, or go to WP:AfD. Again, sorry for having to undo your work. Bearian (talk) 03:28, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

:P.S. You're from Chicago, my 4th favorite city, and a dog lover, so you must be good. Sorry that I have to be the rule enforcement. Bearian (talk) 03:59, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

::Hi, thanks! I do appreciate rule enforcement... it's the only way wiki can be what it is today. Extra don't mind when it's from a fellow Chicago and dog lover. I tried to fix the article before looking at deletion but unfortunately Campbell doesn't meet notability requirements. I will look at AfD and hopefully do it right this time. Thanks again!! Puppies937 (talk) 16:11, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

:::Good morning @Bearian! Thanks again. if you are interested in viewing/participating in the discussion, here is the (hopefully correct this time) AfD page: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susan M. Campbell (2nd nomination). Thanks again for flagging it. I always deeply appreciate getting to learn more about guidelines--there are so many. Enjoy your Tuesday! It's warmer here in Chicago than it has been for which I am grateful! Puppies937 (talk) 15:52, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello, @Puppies937!

I am here to explain the section "List of deputies'' in the page 3rd State Duma. The section is not empty, it is hidden. You may not have noticed, there is button [show], that is why I deleted the template, you left. By the way, thank you for your edit! Ignat.Lolov (talk) 12:23, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

File:Ambox warning yellow.svg

The article :La Dune Rose has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved for over 15 years. No reliable sources in any of the three other languages' articles.

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 {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 19:50, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Araz Budagov until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
