Viva Knieval (band)

You undid my move from the misspelled Viva Knievel to the correct Viva Knieval. There is a band named Viva Knievel however it is not the one the article is based on. Look here for the correct band: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1565745-Viva-Knieval

Note the spelling and move the article back to the correct title. Chavando (talk) 03:13, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Chavando: Viva Knievel (band) cites two sources that I can access: a webpage by Kathleen Hanna and a New Yorker article. Both spell the band's name as "Viva Knievel". The details in those sources match the Wikipedia article, so I don't think this is a matter of "two similarly-named but unrelated bands". Also note that Discogs is not a reliable source. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The artwork on the band's EP spells it Viva Knieval. Change it back. 03:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chavando (talk • contribs) 03:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any other questions or concerns about this page please let me know and I will be happy to fix them. Sesame119 (talk) 21:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lou Myers

Hi. I saw you changed Lou Myers' location of birth from Chesapeake back to Cabin Creek. Chesapeake is already cited as his place of birth in several of the existing references (footnotes 1, 2 and 9). Note that footnote 2 is the program from his memorial, so pretty valid source. 71.126.141.212 (talk) 18:58, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you reverted things that I merged from another page. The stage name Leabengula is there in the playbill at footnote 4.

The cause of death was already in the article and existing footnotes 1 and 7. Why did you remove it from the info box? 71.126.141.212 (talk) 19:01, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, to see "Leabengula" on the Playbill, you have to click the thumbnails. It's typed in his "Who's Who in the Cast" bio. 71.126.141.212 (talk) 19:06, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining that. I've readded the middle name with a citation that links directly to that thumbnail. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:12, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I only meant to revert the edit introducing an unsourced middle name. I've restored everything else. jlwoodwa (talk) 19:03, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for restoring the others. Please see my recent reply, re: Leabengula. 71.126.141.212 (talk) 19:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Close paraphrasing

Hello jlwoodwa, could you please indicate the phrases that confirm the presence of close paraphrasing in this article? I looked at the article and the indicated source and found no evidence. Also, the report indicated that there were no violations, with a similarity of 22%. Thank you! Racnela21 (talk) 13:42, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of the article is closely paraphrased. For example, take the last paragraph: the source has

For years the tower has been “approached” by bathers in order to climb to the top and then jump into the water from above. But currently this practice, described as dangerous, is totally prohibited by the authorities under a fine of 6,000 euros.

and the draft has

The indiscriminate use of the tower as a foothold for jumping into the water, with the dangers that this entails, has led the authorities to prohibit this practice.

The Earwig tool only looks for identical phrases, so having a low Earwig score doesn't mean there was no close paraphrasing. jlwoodwa (talk) 17:25, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NOGALLERY

Hi. Mind sharing the intent of adding the magic word to categories such as Category:Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 files? --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 04:26, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added __NOGALLERY__ to that category because it contained derivative works of non-free content (e.g. File:1stEditionSpaceMarine.png). As described in WP:NFCC#9, non-free files should not be displayed in the galleries of category pages. jlwoodwa (talk) 04:38, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Draft:Mega Buck$ (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello. I have been requested to create an artist page for a rapper named Mega Buck$. I am trying to create the page and am having a difficult time getting the page approved. What can I do on my end to allow the publishing of the page?

EScott88er (talk) 22:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EScott88er: At Articles for Creation, a draft is only accepted if it demonstrates the notability of its subject. Does Mega Buck$ meet at least one of the twelve criteria for musicians? If he does, then you should add that information to your draft, along with a citation to a reliable source that verifies the information. If he doesn't meet any of the criteria, then Wikipedia should not have an article about him. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Retarget links after retargeting redirects

Hey @Jlwoodwa, thanks for retargeting Sung Hoon (singer) faster than I can. Small note: After retargeting a redirect to a dab page, it is best practice to retarget the links as well (User:BilledMammal/Move+ can help with this). This will ensure that the pages that link to the redirect after the move are not links to dab page, especially as the links in those articles are not ambiguous. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:55, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I knew about that in the context of moving pages, but it didn't come to mind in the context of redirect patrolling. Thanks for the reminder! jlwoodwa (talk) 07:31, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the translation attribution

Thank you for adding required translation attribution in this edit to the history of Forte Belvedere Gschwent, on behalf of the original editor (Pguggia (talk · contribs)^[noping]) who neglected to do so in their original edits. Please note that the suggested wording when repairing missing attribution is slightly different: when adding original translation attribution, the suggested wording is at WP:TFOLWP; when adding it retroactively, as you did, the wording is given at WP:RIA ("Repairing Insufficient Attribution"). And thanks also for flagging an apparent COPYVIO, even though it turned out to be a reverse copy issue after investigation.

By the way, there are templates available to you: see {{Unattributed translation}} to flag articles that are missing attribution; and {{Uw-translation}} and {{Uw-unattribcc}} to advise users who fail to attribute their articles. Keep up the good work! Mathglot (talk) 08:29, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the links! It's good to know there's a template for saying "this might be translated" when you're not confident enough to make a WP:RIA edit summary of "this was translated".

I've been using User:CFA/scripts/AttributeTranslation to generate the dummy edits and warnings, and it doesn't include the in the edit of 01:25, January 25, 2023 wording that RIA suggests, but I think it's probably alright to omit that part when the article itself was created as a translation. Does that seem right, or should I ask CFA to add this feature to his script? jlwoodwa (talk) 17:50, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Changes to (/ Review of) Draft:Grillz By Scotty

Greetings @Jlwoodwa,

I appreciate your feedback regarding the Draft:Grillz By Scotty article.

The content was carefully researched and written. I have already gone through the article and made additional adjustments to further neutralize the tone and eliminate promotional language, ensuring it aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines.

While grammatical tools were used to refine the wording for consistency and clarity, the article was still manually written and put together. Every sentence and citation has been reviewed and verified by a human as credible and reliable.

The "Grillz By Scotty" article will continue to be monitored and updated as necessary to ensure that the language remains neutral and free from promotional content. A request for users to review the article for potential promotional language and the inclusion of additional information from reliable sources has been added to the "Grillz By Scotty" talk page. Additionally, a/an ("{{advert}}") tag has been placed directly on the article itself, indicating the same request, utilizing the appropriate channels and methods provided by Wikipedia.

Thank you for pointing out your concerns, and if you have any additional suggestions regarding the Grillz By Scotty draft article, which I plan to officially submit soon for review, or if there are any specific sections of the article or references that you would like removed or reviewed, feel free to let me know. I'm open to improving the article where and if genuinely needed.

Respectfully,
