Well...here's my talk page. If anyone has questions about an edit I did, please put it here. --Silver seren 14:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Willemijn Verkaik

I've been working to improve the text of this article, which you helped to save from deletion.

1. The article doesn't quote a single critic about what they thought of her performance in any musical. It is hard to believe that there aren't any reviews that mention her performances. Can you possibly find any?
2. A lot of stuff, especially concert performances, was cited to her own website, so I deleted those cites and put in a cite needed tag. Are you able to find RSs for any of these performances (or references to dates)?
3. I think we should cut the long list of concert performances down to the most significant ones, presumably the ones that got press coverage. If you agree, would you please note that on the Talk page, and then I'll agree with you there and remove the unreferenced ones. (And also, if you have time, please add any other refs that you can find about the concert performances).

Thanks in advance for any help! -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:27, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's a blast from the past. That was a long time ago. Considering her non-English origins, you'll likely want to be searching in language specific databases, which I would not be the best to ask about. You might want to ask those language Wikiprojects if anyone can help.

As for the performances, just cut the ones you don't think are necessary and move them to the talk page, so a record of what they were still exists. You don't need my agreement to do that. Silver seren^C 00:08, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Native American topics

I hate to bug you but do you work on Native American topics? The reason I come to you is because I am working on some biographies about people who are part of Native American history.

An issue is that these individuals are likely relatives of mine. So yeah I have a potential COI. I come to you about this because you’re more experienced in biographies.CycoMa2 (talk) 16:07, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

CycoMa2, not in particular, no. I only incidentally worked on a couple related biographies at some point in the past. Even if you have a COI, couldn't you still make a Draft article and submit it through WP:AFC or have another editor look it over and approve it themselves? Silver seren^C 23:42, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I am gonna submit these articles through AFC.CycoMa2 (talk) 23:56, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for wasting your time.CycoMa2 (talk) 19:06, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries at all! Sorry that I can't be of more help. I just have several prior commitments at the moment. Silver seren^C 21:32, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The World Destubathon

Hello. You are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It's currently planned for June 16-July 13. There is currently $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. As 250 countries and entities is too much to patrol, entries will be by user, but there is $500 going into prizes for editors covering the most countries. Sign up if interested! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:13, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please cease and strike personal attacks/aspersions

I don't like templating so I won't. Calling people "fringe-promoting editors" is a personal attack, saying that they're acting disruptively based on this is an aspersion. You've done it here and here, both times I was amongst the people you were characterising. I think you should retract. Samuelshraga (talk) 20:16, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. It's a comment on editing activity, which inherently is not a personal attack. Fringe promotion is a statement about edits and statements made on-wiki and the activity of the account in question. Silver seren^C 20:24, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
