Alisson Becker

I'm not sure if there's a guideline or policy, although it's pretty standard for the infobox name to match the article title. That said, I'm inclined to agree that just 'Alisson' is his more commonly used name, and was a little surprised that the title was moved to include his surname in December.

overlink

i dont know what else to do but link. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you. Leedsfc (talk) 19:50, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i left a welcome message on your talk page, the links there may help you -- FMSky (talk) 19:56, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

got them thank you Leedsfc (talk) 19:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tina Turner

You reverted my correction to the description of the article on the late Tina Turner. A person born in Ireland who immigrates to America is an Irish-American, not an Irish-born American. A person born in America who emigrates to Switzerland is an American-Swiss, not an "American-born Swiss". But far be it from me to try to improve Wikipedia. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 22:39, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She doesnt have American citizenship anymore, read the note at the end of the first sentence. There's also a talk page discussion going on rn --FMSky (talk) 22:44, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's irrelevant, but the heated discussion of this trivial issue just reminds me why I quit editing Wikipedia and that I should stick to that policy. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 00:19, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Celine Dion did release a short tribute to Tina. Granted, it only appears on Celine's official Facebook page, but it is fact that a tribute was released. You can search for the post, or I can sent a screenshot as proof. It's important that Celine's tribute is reflected in the tribute list to Tina in her official Wikipedia article. Can you please reinstate your edit? 2A00:23C6:BC8B:C301:7DD4:24D6:2A3F:10AF (talk) 23:04, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOSOCIAL

Hello. I've just seen your edits to DJ Ötzi and Lionel Richie as both are on my watchlist—please do not include links to social media accounts in external links sections per WP:NOSOCIAL. I don't know if you've added social media links like these to any other articles, but if you have, please remove them. Thank you. Ss112 20:16, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

why does the template <nowiki>{{Instagram}} template missing ID and not present in Wikidata.<nowiki> even exist then? no i've only added them to ötzi's article, on the lionel richie article it was added by someone else --FMSky (talk) 20:20, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt the creator of that template consulted anybody upon creating it. I assume they probably didn't know about NOSOCIAL. Tbh Wikipedia is rife with all sorts of EL violations. I doubt all the people who've added the template to EL sections know about it either, hence why there seems to be thousands of uses. Ss112 20:23, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gary and Paul O'Donovan

Hi. I believe you have confused the images for Gary and Paul O'Donovan. See:

Gary is the brother with the slightly lighter hair and slightly narrower face. In my view, you've mislabeled them on Commons and Wikidata. Guliolopez (talk) 20:27, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

shit, you're right, will correct it --FMSky (talk) 20:32, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 20:45, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Honour

In British English, the word is spelled honour. As can be seen in this manual of style. The Lionel Messi article uses British English, as can be seen by the use of the Use British English template in the fifth line of the article. Therefore, the spelling should say honour, not honor. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:15, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

not when its a quote from a source --FMSky (talk) 10:16, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Says who? What policy is this? All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:18, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SIC --FMSky (talk) 10:18, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"However, insignificant spelling and typographic errors should simply be silently corrected". All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:21, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How is it an error? --FMSky (talk) 10:22, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

also MOS:CONFORM "However, national varieties should not be changed, as these may involve changes in vocabulary. For example, a quotation from a British source should retain British spelling, even in an article that otherwise uses American spelling." --FMSky (talk) 10:23, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So then you must want to apply WP:PRSOURCE, which says "A press release is clearly not an independent source as it is usually written either by the business or organization it is written about, or by a business or person hired by or affiliated with the organization... Usually, but not always, a press release will be identified as such... In general, press releases have effusive praise, rather than factual statements". I propose we remove the change the source and remove the quote, so the text reads as follows - In June 2021, Messi signed a five-year deal to become an ambassador for the Hard Rock Cafe brand.^[1] Thoughts? All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:57, 4 June 2023 (UTC) All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 10:57, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

all of this just so that the word "honor" doesnt appear in an article. sounds ridiculous --FMSky (talk) 11:02, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So when you want to apply MOS and policies it's fine, when I do it there must be an ulterior motive? Do you think this policy about press releases should apply all the time, or only when you see fit? All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 11:08, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

heres the same with british spelling https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/new-lionel-messi-burger-launch-23254272 use that then --FMSky (talk) 11:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not arsed about which source is used as long it's reliable. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 11:09, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Heather B. Gardner

Hi. Please do not blank content from articles without providing a rationale for this in your edit summary, as you did with this edit to Heather B. Gardner. The material is supported by citations, and removing it without providing a rationale is not appropriate. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 15:47, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When i made the edit there wasnt a source at all... per MOS:ROLEBIO only her most notable occupations should be listed --FMSky (talk) 15:53, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding photos.

Hi there. I tried moving a 1982 photo of Joe Jackson (not to be confused with the patriarch of the Jackson 5) after a 2021 photo was added but it didn't work properly. What did I do wrong as this is my first time manually adding a photo. GTAGamer245 (talk) 23:31, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i guess you're referring to this edit? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joe_Jackson_(musician)&diff=prev&oldid=1159208506 You put a "nowiki" tag around the image file, thats why it didnt show up, i've corrected it --FMSky (talk) 05:41, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the pic the other guy inserted into the infobox was a copyright violation so i reverted the article to an earlier version --FMSky (talk) 08:37, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for explaining my mistake. I didn't realise this kind of tag would cause the image to not show up properly. GTAGamer245 (talk) 12:41, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander Graham Bell Infobox

Hi! You removed the (secondary school) education from Bell's info box, I replaced it, and you reverted stating the parameter guidance for infobox.

Bell's education is relevant -- the fact that he was a scholar and teacher, without having earned even an undergraduate degree, is indeed oft-cited in his biographies.

I don't care to edit war this! However, the infobox guidance for education and alma mater lead me to realize that we shouldn't really be using alma mater at all, but education to encompass all three items.

education: Education, e.g., degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant. If very little information is available or relevant, the |alma_mater= parameter may be more appropriate.

alma mater: This parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) |education=, and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools). It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise

Since alma mater is not appropriate for secondary education, and Bell's higher education is a significant part of his history with plenty of information available, I will put all three schools in the "education" parameter, and remove alma mater altogether.

Please tag me if you care to discuss this more here, or add a section to the article's talk page so others can weigh in! Thanks! Kerri9494 (talk) 20:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Protege

Look man, if youre gonna take my edits down, you could at least take down the other Protege edits. JuanBoss105 (talk) 00:12, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ryan Jarman

If you're going to restore that (IMHO off-topic) info, you need to source it. Toddst1 (talk) 22:16, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Name in Infobox

I know my edit would be reverted, but by your logic, that would for a good portion of biographical articles that go by the subject's birth name. Not sure why Whitney Houston is any different. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 20:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_person it should only be used if different from "name", which obviously makes sense, why would you want to list the same exact name (thats also already the infobox name) twice?? -FMSky (talk) 20:09, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You might as well remove it from every biographical article where their real name is used. You can just pick and choose. You have to do it for all. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 20:11, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah thats why i do exactly that whenever i notice it --FMSky (talk) 20:11, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Damon Dash

Can you remove the mention of Damon's brief appearance in a recent documentary about Aaliyah from his personal life section? I find it unnecessary seeing as though it adds no new or valuable information to the narrative about their relationship or Dash's wiki article itself. Dash has appeared in other Aaliyah documentaries over the years so it carries no true significance other than a particular user feeling the need to pad related wiki articles with every little Aaliyah fact they can. 166.198.202.60 (talk) 16:40, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-==Jasmin St. Claire==
-Hello. Please do not add or change information in articles without accompanying it by a cited source, as you did with [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1162034761&oldid=1146059573&title=Jasmin_St._Claire&curid=1406808 this edit] to Jasmin St. Claire. As I'm sure you must know by now, since you've accumulated over 152,000 edits here since Janaury 2021, Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable]], [[WP:V|verifiable]] (usually [[WP:SECONDARY|secondary]]) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an [[WP:INCITE|inline citation]], as explained [[WP:CS|here]].
