I have sent you a note about a page you started

[edit]

Hi Hydrangeans. Thank you for your work on Horton Davies. Another editor, Aszx5000, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Excellent work. You are constructing articles of a consistently high quality - why are you not autopatrolled? thanks.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Aszx5000}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Aszx5000 (talk) 12:54, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aszx5000: Thanks for your kind words; I try my best.
A user needs to have created at least 25 articles, and I've only created a bit less than half that many. Even if I reach that benchmark, I don't create articles that often, so the main purpose (to reduce the workload of new pages patrol by removing prolific high-quality creators' new articles from the patrol pool) may not quite apply. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 15:43, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are writing large high quality GA-rated article (I see that you have 5), which unfortunately do take time to patrol. Your articles are of a very high quality and in topic areas that would raise no red flags with autopatrolling. It is your choice, and but with +10,000 unreviewed articles (and +300 b-grade articles) on the queue, there is no need for any of yours to be on it. And maybe you might like to try patrolling the +B-grade articles someday. Obviously your choice but I wanted to let you know :) 11:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC) Aszx5000 (talk) 11:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't thought about how the length of a new article adds to the time consumed by patrolling. And a lot of the articles I've created have been lengthy at creation. I'll keep this in mind for when I pass the 25 article threshold. Thanks for the elaboration, and for the invitation to try patrolling; I'll give that some thought.

DYK for American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis

[edit]

On 3 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American Colossus is a biography of a man who was "the most famous sportsman in the world" and "the most forgotten great athlete in American history"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Clarification request closed

[edit]

The Noleander clarification request, in which you were listed as an involved editor, has been closed and archived. The request was related to that case's principle 9, which states:

Editors are expected to refrain from making unnecessary references to the actual or perceived racial, religious, or ethnic background of fellow editors. Such references should be made only if they clearly serve a legitimate purpose. In the context of a noticeboard discussion or dispute resolution, it will rarely serve a valid purpose to seek to classify the participants in the discussion on this basis.

Among the participating Arbitrators, there was a rough consensus that this principle remains true with current policies and guidelines and that there is not an exemption from this principle for asserting that an editor has a conflict of interest. For the Arbitration Committee, SilverLocust 💬 05:34, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image of the Disney character Cinderella

[edit]

It's just that the image of the Disney character Cinderella that ya uploaded is a screenshot yet it isn't promotional artwork at all. I mean it. Esagurton (talk) 12:00, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied in the thread you started on Talk:Cinderella (Disney character). Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 18:42, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Big Fish

[edit]

Hello again! Just a quick note about this edit. Since "Siamese twins" is a popular (yet becoming archaic) term for conjoined twins, I always assumed that's the way Edward was using it. For better or for worse, people use "Siamese twins" without any intention of describing the geographic origin of the individuals. I haven't seen the film in awhile, so I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure Edward wasn't thinking about the nationality of Ping and Jing. Please let me know your thoughts :) Wafflewombat (talk) 16:14, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ever since I first watched the film, it's been my impression that this was all part of the punchline/setup. Edward calls the characters "Siamese twins", Will imagines that he means conjoined twins, and at the funeral Will finds out they aren't conjoined twins, just literally twins who are Asian. The punchline seems to play on both Edward's tendency to exaggerate, Will's tendency to think the worst of his tall tales, and possibly a conflation/misunderstanding of Asian heritages on Edward's part.
Still, that's simply my impression of the film. After combing secondary sources, I wasn't able to confirm if there's secondary coverage verifying this sense of that film element. I've revised the explanatory note to summarize what secondary sources say about the twin characters. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 18:41, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thanks for doing that. I further revised the wording for clarity and to maintain the "timeless present tense" used when writing about fiction. Please let me know if my edits are acceptable. Wafflewombat (talk) 18:59, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of File:Cinderella (1950 Disney character).png

[edit]

For the last time, let me explain to ya about that image that it's a cropped screenshot of the Disney character Cinderella from a YouTube video but not a photoshopped promotional artwork image. Please understand. It's not a a photoshopped promotional artwork image of Cinderella like the other lead images of the Disney Princess articles of Snow White, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, Moana and Raya. I mean it. But I think I want ya to find a photoshopped promotional artwork image of Cinderella, please. Esagurton (talk) 03:16, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those other images appear to be promotional artworks, but they haven't been photoshopped the way the previous image at Cinderella was (it had been photoshopped to change the color of a dress in a 21st-century promotional art of Cinderella from the modern blue to the original white). There is, in any case, no policy or guideline that I'm aware of requiring that articles about Disney Princesses use promotional artwork, photoshopped or otherwise. Please stop spamming me about it. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 04:31, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What the hell do ya mean spamming? Esagurton (talk) 11:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for support! - Recommended reading today: Frye Fire, by sadly missed Vami_IV. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:15, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this recommendation! How interesting to see how wildfires are handled today, and how this particular fire ended up having interesting legacies in public health and conservation. Reading about a wildfire reminds me of a book that I had been meaning to read, The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America (HarperCollins, 2009). Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 23:55, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! - Today is Schoenberg's 150th birthday! On display, portrayed by Egon Schiele, with music from Moses und Aron, and with two DYK hooks, one from 2010 and another from 2014; the latter, about his 40th birthday, appeared on his 140th birthday, which made me happy then and now again. - See places for a stunning sunrise, on the day Bruckner's 200th birthday was celebrated (just a few days late). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
