Congratulations, PerfectSoundWhatever! The article you nominated, It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, FrB.TG (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:05, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

The article Microphones in 2020 you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Microphones in 2020 for comments about the article, and Talk:Microphones in 2020/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Hi! you reverted my edit on that page, for lack of reference, and I'll explain why I didn't add any reference. I'm French and a fan of CGP grey's video. As a french, I didn't know if CGP was an acronym or else so I searched and found a page giving his first names, which initials are CGP. So I first edited the French page, giving his full name, and then wanted to do the same for the English page, where I could see a note, in the source code, that he did not want his full name to be made public. So I just indicated that CGP are his initials, but I could not refer to the page that was disclosing his full name. I also corrected the edit in the french page, to comply to his wish, even if this page was not reporting the request (which is sort of a bug no? if he requests a privacy clause, why isn't it automatically reported in the pages in other languages?).

Hi, @GCab:. My understanding is that we should avoid stating his full name in the article, but linking to a page containing it would be OK. However, I'm not sure if there's a reliable source stating this information. Since it's a WP:BLP, we're stricter about making sure everything has a source, and that it's reliable. What you added feels a bit too much like an editor making their own conclusions and sorta WP:OR. Maybe it's something we could put in a footnote but I'm hesitant. You could start a discussion at Talk:CGP Grey. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 03:34, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @PerfectSoundWhatever:, and thank you very much for the detailed response. I don't know if Wikitubia can be considered as a reliable source. I don't know either how to interpret "my understanding... would be OK": Do you have enough authority so that I can consider this as a "Go"? I know that questioning your authority may sound very rude, it is just that I don't know enough of how wikipedia works... but since you are much more experienced than me, may be you could tell me where to report what I consider like a bug, IE that his request for privacy is not mentioned in the pages of other languages? I think that, because all theses are problems are quite generic and not strictly related to GCP Grey, may be there is another more appropriate place where the discussion could take place?

@GCab: Hey, sorry for the late reply. You are welcome to question my authority. I have no authority for decision making, as in, my opinion isn't inherently worth any more than an editor with less edits. On Wikipedia, the most valued thing is consensus. For consensus, the experience of an editor is not important, but the quality of their arguments. As well, a primary principle of Wikipedia is Be Bold: essentially you should first make the change, and if someone disagrees, they can undo it and you can discuss (like we're doing now). Let me know if you have any other questions about how Wikipedia works.

Wikitubia is not a reliable source since the content is written by anyone, like wikipedia. You can read more at WP:FANDOM and WP:SPS. What changes are you aiming to add to the article in other languages? If the edits are simple enough, you could make them yourself. Otherwise, you might want to try the Wikipedia:Local Embassy which has avenues for inter-language wiki communication. Thanks — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 03:07, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
