Re GTC

Hey Josh, thought I'd just post here instead. As I wanted to do my due diligence as well. So I did some digging of my own and found an example of the split approach, although this is FT. Overview of Meghan Trainor is the artist topic. Her discography article was used as the main article for two FTs. Meghan Traino albums and Meghan Trainor's Billboard Hot 100 entries. From what I've checked, both FTs aren't listed as sub topics to the Discography article in the Overview FT, but are just standalone FTs. Hopefully that is something that can be used as a reference. I understand you had already supported the nom (which is much appreciated), but thought I'd have the i's dotted and t's crossed just to be sure :) Pseud 14 (talk) 16:04, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Pseud 14, thanks for the follow-up! It's a relevant and good grouping for a topic, I have no doubt about that. I do think the Meghan Trainer discography one in this case can't be a subtopic because of all the extra stuff that's not promoted under one of your topics. With that said, I think, if you were interested, it'd make sense to ask at Wikipedia talk:Featured topics whether the residencies and live concerts GTs could be combined under one sub topic, or even possibly two sub topics? At least to know, right? Hey man im josh (talk) 16:12, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Told you that you could put the nomination up with your name instead of mine. In any case, feel free to support! igordebraga ≠ 11:59, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Igordebraga, but I'd feel weird doing so since I hadn't contributed in the slightest way. At least you're involved in the WikiProject, so it makes sense for you to do so. I wouldn't even know what to write for the nom lol. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:00, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm not that involved, usually just seeking topics to promote or restore (albeit in Madonna's case, once the guy who nominated Vogue vanished during the GA review took upon myself to finish the process). Still, waiting for your input on the nomination. igordebraga ≠ 03:26, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Vijay Hazare errors

FYI there are errors that cropped up due to your Rcat additions. The "avoided double redirect" template needs the parameter of the other redirect.   — TARDIS builder^✉     ★       11:09, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

@TARDIS Builder: I did not add any rcats to the pages. Never the less, I've fixed the error. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:18, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

You did indeed, on May 24th – one, two, three, four – I was just mentioning / reminding that {{R avoided double redirect}} needs a parameter to not spit out an error. Thanks!   — TARDIS builder^✉     ★       03:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Appreciation

Thanks for your kind words and support on my nomination on the Editor for the Week! It is much appreciated. Best wishes. Red Director (talk) 14:56, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

It's well overdue and I can't say enough about how much I appreciate all the work you do @Red Director! Hey man im josh (talk) 14:14, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Voyager 2 DYK

Hey, the QPQ was awaited for it. I thought I'll do it this week. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Grrrrr, my bad. Thanks for pointing this out to me @The Herald, I'll undo that. As a noobie at DYK... I've got a lot to learn! Hey man im josh (talk) 15:43, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Lol, no probs. Happy editing :) — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:45, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

CFD/Working

Hi Josh, thanks for sharing the load at WP:CFDW!

Please note that when we check categories before de-listing, we not only check that they are empty, but also check "what links here", and update links where necessary. WP:CFDAI has some detailed guidance about this.

I noticed that in this edit you overlooked several links from category pages. ([1]) You may notice that I also maintain user drafts – this is merely optional, but updating category pages is important. – Fayenatic London 08:48, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Fayenatic london, thank you for the feedback, I'll definitely working at doing a better job based on this feedback. I hadn't consider user drafts, so that's definitely something I'll keep in mind. As for the redirects you created, do the bots that deal with fixing double redirects not work in category space? I would have thought those particular edits would be addressed by one of them instead of having to do so manually. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:14, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Updating user drafts is optional, but some users thank me when I do bother with drafts that are still WIP, and in other cases it turns up WP:COPIES that should be blanked or deleted.

As for these category redirects, the bot run left them redlinked, so it's unlikely that another bot would be able to update them – it's more likely that they would have been deleted. As they are redirects from alt spellings, which another editor had created intentionally, I judged that they were worth keeping. So in each case I updated the target to the new lowercase name, and then moved the redirect to the corresponding alt-spelling lowercase name. There was no need to leave another redirect at the old uppercase name, as that had not been done in the case of the mainstream spelling. Hope that makes sense! – Fayenatic London 14:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

That's a good point. It absolutely makes sense! Thanks for the help and guidance :) Hey man im josh (talk) 12:47, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Reviewing Articles?

Hi there @Hey man im josh,

It's been a while since we interacted. I hope all is well with you. I was wondering if you could review some articles for me, if you don't mind. I think I made a request on your talk page before, and I have a number of articles in the backlog that need reviewing (I translated/brought them over from the Russian Wikipedia, as a heads up). If you are able to review some articles, here are a couple that I created: Smoky Mo, Matrang, Alex Davia, Thrill Pill, and Beverly Hills (Zivert song). If you are able to review more, let me know and I'll give you more articles. If you cannot review any, that's perfectly fine! I was just wondering if you could do them. Thank you in advance. Losipov (talk) 03:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Losipov, I'm sorry, but I typically don't review articles upon request. I decline to do so because I have a lot on my plate already and I don't want to overcommit myself and end up with a lot of regular requests like this. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:28, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I will say though that I very much appreciate you putting in the work to create all of these! I hope someone from the NPP team to be by at their earliest convenience. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:29, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh That's fine, I understand. Thank you, though, for the kind words! Hopefully these articles get reviewed soon because I have a good amount of them in NPP right now. Thanks again! Losipov (talk) 16:20, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Template:2019 NHL Entry Draft

Hello, Hey man im josh. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Template:2019 NHL Entry Draft".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

`List of New England Revolution broadcasters` deletion

Hi Hey man im josh, I saw a recent AfD requests where you deleted the article (https://en.chped.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_New_England_Revolution_broadcasters). Would it be possible to provide me with the content of the deleted article (perhaps by moving it to my userspace?). I'm not planning on restoring that article, but I would like to have access to it as I improve a lot of New England Revolution pages and the sources/content might be useful. Thanks! Brindille1 (talk) 12:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

@Brindille1: I've created User:Brindille1/List of New England Revolution broadcasters for you. If you ever do decide you want to work on that list and move it back to main space, the notability concerns would obviously need to be addressed first, but the page would also need to be histmerged with List of New England Revolution broadcasters since I copied the deleted content and we would need to preserve attribution. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:34, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

		The Original Barnstar
		Hey man thank you. I just looked at some lists (NFL annual rushing TDs and INTs leaders) and saw that you did a lot of work on them. I made them back in 2014 and I really appreciate all the work you did on them to help get them from the simple lists to featured list status which makes them the first pieces of featured content I've created. I think that's pretty cool. Thank you again and best wishes, Soulbust (talk) 04:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much @Soulbust! It's always wonderful to have your work recognized and I very much appreciate the work that was put in by you before I picked up where I did. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:48, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Split

Hey Josh, thanks for all the help in the past and I hope you good today. I honestly feel like there are some remixes as well cover songs that deserve a standalone article. "Creepin'" has a standalone article and it is a cover of "I Don't Wanna Know", other than this I have never seen a standalone cover or remix article. I believe "At Your Best (You Are Love)" deserves a standalone article as the article is composed of almost its achievements and they are kept hidden under the original song. "Save Your Tears (Remix)" and "Die for You (Ariana Grande Remix)" both did well on the charts and even peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, certified in multiple countries and performed well commercially. My question is, is there a way these articles (especially "At Your Best (You Are Love)") can ever get standalone articles? I'm willing to go through the trouble of splitting them if need may be. I'll be on the lookout for your response. dxneo (talk) 12:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page watcher): do they pass WP:GNG? Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 14:29, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Vestrian24Bio, without a doubt. Please check them out. I mean they are certified higher than Gold in multiple countries, won awards and I did mention that they peaked at number one on the Hot 100 chart; ultimately pass WP:NSONG. Surprisingly, "Die for You (Ariana Grande Remix)" performed better than "Creepin" according to the IFPI. dxneo (talk) 15:25, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Notability aside, a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album. – If there could be enough content for a standalone article, I'd say go for it.

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Vegas Golden Knights draft picks/archive1

@Hey man im josh:, what do I even do here? I haven’t the slightest idea how to program a table the way MPGuy wants, and it seems to me like an unreasonably high standard for promotion. The Kip ^(contribs) 16:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Not Josh, but I noticed the discussion and just went ahead and tried to implement it into the article. Feel free to revert if you don't like it, just wanted to help out :) ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:21, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks - I’m not sure if that fully addresses his concern (that not all the rows have a unique header), but I hope it does. I don’t have any idea how to style the header boxes to look normal in the way he’s saying I should. The Kip ^(contribs) 17:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

@The Kip: I hope the changes @ULPS made are satisfactory, because I don't personally see a reason to move the row scopes if you do not want to. In all fairness, I really should have proposed merging the cells for the draft year the way that ULPS did. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

I think it technically does cause of the !scope="row" I added but oh well 🤷‍♂️. Hopefully he finds it satisfactory. ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Ahh.... My understanding is you should not have added that second set of "!scope=row". I believe you shouldn't be trying to specify the scope of the row twice, but I'll follow up with PresN about it. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Accessibility/Data_tables_tutorial#Complex_tables does have an example of using multiple row scopes, but I really don't think this is a situation where it's appropriate, but I'm still trying to expand my knowledge on accessibility and table formatting. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Damn, should I remove it then? This table stuff gets too complicated sometimes ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:49, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

It IS possibly to add the players as a second row scope from playing around with it, but again, I'm not sure if it's actually proper. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

At this point, if it’s not possible (at least without extremely technical programming), what do I even do? The Kip ^(contribs) 18:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

@The Kip: Hold up for a bit while I verify with PresN whether it's required. If so... There's a lot of lists I need to start making changes at haha. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:43, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Lists of Green Bay Packers players/archive1

Thoughts on this? I don't think I have ever had an FLC go 3 weeks without a substantial review before. You think people are avoiding it because its an index list? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:16, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Gonzo fan2007: In short, yeah, I do think people are avoiding it because it's an index list. I think some people are uncomfortable with the idea. I myself haven't reviewed it because I'm just not sure how to and what the expectations are out of index lists like this. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:19, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm withdrawing it for now. Deal with it some other day! *shrug* Thanks for the input :) « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:43, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: Unless you have some lists already ready for nomination, it might be beneficial to let it reach the back of the queue, but that's up to you. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:44, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

I have like 7 in the queue. It's going to take me at least a year to get through all of them. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 19:46, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gonzo fan2007: Your queue is longer than mine! I had mine up to about 8 or 9 at one point... I vowed to get it to 10. I've dwindled down to 5 with one about to be nommed. I still want to reach that goal and you and your dirty Packers list are motivating me to do so, so thank you for that! Hey man im josh (talk) 12:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I really only have one more list to create at this point, List of Green Bay Packers award winners, but it has sent me down a rabbit hole (who knew there were so many awards) so I have let the draft sit for a while. I also have to figure out what to do with Green Bay Packers All-Time Roster *facepalm*. My project now is notable games. It has oddly been one of the more enjoyable writing projects so far, its fun (and sad) to relive some of the more exciting games in Packers' history. After that, I may start taking a crack at rivalries. I'm serious about a collab on Lions–Packers rivalry, if you are ever interested later this year. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 14:18, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
