Google Earth: Switcher added.
[edit]On the infobox, I added a switcher to show both Web and Desktop. Do not over-write it again, as it's still shown on the infobox. The web version is ran on a desktop browser as well, so it's just fair that the web is present. I also used a Windows 10 screenshot instead with the proper, readable, resolution. The Windows 7 one is resized in such a manner, it can barely be read. Paowee (talk) 02:23, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Stop reverting the infobox screenshot for Earth Pro.
[edit]I already uploaded a proper resolution for it, and that resolution meets WP:NFCC guidelines. It also runs on Windows 10. If you really want to keep it there, then upload a proper, minimal resolution, like what I did on the Windows 10 one.
Otherwise, keep the Windows 10 screenshot. Do not replace it with the Windows 7 one, as DatBot will just resize your resolution over and over. You could also unintentionally start an edit war if you keep this up.
Tip: Use half the resolution on your screenshot. Do not think the non-free no reduce template will let you get away with not resizing the screenshot with a proper resolution; other editors will pick up on it and may also request a speedy deletion. Just saying.
Also the screenshot cannot be the original resolution. At it's base resolution, resizing it to a good amount is mandatory. 1,291 × 825 is a base resolution. That has to be resized to a good extent. Paowee (talk) 03:22, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
- I apologise, I thought the Windows 10 screenshot was also compressed. This was a client-side error; I looked at it again and it seems to be at a readable size. OmegaAOL (talk) 13:55, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

- I thought that the 19th century ended in 1900. After further research, I seem to have been wrong. You can get where the misunderstanding comes from though right it's not like people were celebrating the dawn of the new century in 2001.

[edit]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to change the title of a page by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into X.com. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 02:35, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Ood clarification
[edit]Hi, I just wanted to clarify what the issue was grammatically with the rewritten lead? I made alterations because I felt the tone was a bit informal given the subject matter, and still wish to alter the wording a bit for tone, but I wanted to double check with you what issues you felt there were grammatically before I did anything further given your revert on the page.
Also, while I do appreciate the copyedit on the article, I feel some of your edits aren't quite grammatically sound; in particular, you use a lot of em dashes in contexts where commas more than suffice and would be easier to read than em dashes. I've undone a few em dashes I felt were a bit off grammatically, but I've left the bulk in otherwise. If there are any I've removed you've got a particular gripe with let me know, as if I've made a mistake with any of them I am willing to listen to your rationale. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 18:33, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for the message! Always happy to improve.
- I get that em dashes have become.. um.. infamous due to ChatGPT, et cetera. using them profusely, but at the same time you may notice when you look at Featured Articles, they seem to have a much higher amount of em dashes than normal (articles). Seems to indicate that em dashes are a pretty defining trait of high article quality at least on here.
- I also use em dashes to break up long sentences that start to become unwieldy for the reader. People tend to focus mentally on one, two sentences at a time, and it confuses and irritates them when you have a lot of comma or semicolon continuations. Em dashes offset this and the human mind treats it as a seperate part, which is one of the reasons why they are used on featured articles, and why ChatGPT—which is so eager to please and convenience the human—makes significant use of them too.
- There were no major grammatical issues, mostly prose-styling and the like; that is why I passed you for G.A since grammar seemed to be excellent. I was just OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 21:22, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- I will clarify that I wasn't accusing you of ChatGPTing or something like that, it's just a lot more em dashes than I'm used to seeing. I will say that just because FAs use them a lot doesn't mean they need to be used a lot as a principle, but I get your point.
- Your message seems to have gotten cut off; was there anything else you were going to add? Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:54, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- > FAs use them a lot doesn't mean they need to be used a lot as a principle
- I know, it's just evidence I'm providing that em dashes are generally used at high levels of grammar.
- > Your message seems to have gotten cut off; was there anything else you were going to add?

- I feel the tone is a bit informal for something of this weight, in my opinion. I am not against grammatical changes but I do feel that the tone could be altered by some re-wording to be a bit more formal. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:12, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

- An example sentence lifted from both the original version, my copyedit, and your further copyedit for eval:
- original: The Ood were enslaved as a slave race by the company Ood Operations, with propaganda created by the company telling those who purchased Ood that the Ood enjoyed their work, and that their status as slaves was how their species functioned naturally.
- "enslaved as a slave race" is redundancy, using 2x and 2x "Ood" so close together is stylistically not ideal, and status and function are two different things.
- my CE: The Ood race was enslaved by the company Ood Operations; the company manufactured propaganda—aimed at potential buyers—which claimed that the Ood enjoyed working as slaves, and that their species was naturally inclined towards slavery.
- remove redundancy, use Em dashes (instead of brackets) to provide further context, and distinguish "status" and "function/inclination".
- your CE: The Ood race was enslaved by the company Ood Operations; the company manufactured propaganda, aimed at potential buyers, which claimed that the Ood enjoyed working as slaves, and that their species was naturally inclined towards slavery.
- Same thing, except here the Em dashes were supposed to replace brackets—not commas—so the prose becomes clunkier. I am not going to revert it back to the Em-dashed version without your agreement, however I think that it was better for the above reasons. Please share your thoughts. OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 21:31, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- I think I agree in terms of the example here now that you've clarified that with me. I'm unopposed to including the em dashes for this sentence, feel free to revert my edit on this one. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 21:55, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

GA failure?
[edit]Hey, I hope you are doing well and having a lovely week. I wanted to just post a note that I believe that your quick fail of Allison Lanier was, in my opinion, very unfair. I felt that your comments could have been regular comments rather than a quick fail. First of all, I really do not see how the grammar is not good, but also, this could have easily been fixed. There is no article or even section to Anabelle so I am unsure of how it could be linked. Luxury was in quotes because that's how the actress described it and so it was done to ensure that it was depicted as being her opinion. Also, Summer Newman is a fictional character and characters are referred by first name, not last name. The reason that life and career have been merged is because there is a lot of overlap and it is (overall) a short section – this is also similar for Rory Gibson and Andrew Still (actor). And the reason that there are no photos is because there are no free ones available, which is often the case for BLPs. Having photos is not a requirement for GAs, it's just about ensuring that if there are photos they are in the article and that the photos there are relevant and free. Again, I am not trying to be rude at all, I just feel that these were not good rationales for quickfailing the article at all, and any issues could have seen the article easily stayed open and fixed within a few days. Regardless, I have done a copy edit to look out for any typos in case there were any, and will be renominating the article. Anyway, there's no hard feelings, I just wanted to explain. Have a lovely weekend 😊 DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:40, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hello! A quick fail does not mean an article is exceptionally bad; just that there is one criterion it is severly lacking in. In this case, it was the Photos section; the article Summer Newman has a photo of Lannier, and a requirement is that good articles must have photos if at all possible, which that article proves (that it is possible). That is the only reason why you were quick failed and the other reasons were just comments. - OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 00:44, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, thank you for letting me know. Just to clarify, the reason why Summer Newman has a picture of Lanier is because that is a screenshot from the show, which is allowed in character articles where it is the main subject, but not for actor articles of living people. This is why there are hundreds of soap opera articles with pictures of the characters but the actors not having them in their article as there is no free use rationale unfortunately DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 00:47, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- There do seem to be CC videos on YouTube for the results "Summer Newman", so try using a still from one of those. - OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 01:02, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Apologies, I thought the image in that article was CC/. - OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 01:02, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

Good Evening! I just wanted to let you know that I think the quick fail for this GA was inappropriate. Based on your review, I don't believe the issues were significant and unlikely to be resolved during the seven-day time frame which is expected for GAs. I recommend reopening this GA and working with User:DaniloDaysOfOurLives to work this out, and please let me know if there is anything I can help you with! Bgsu98 (Talk) 03:16, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Absolutely; I had originally failed it due to incorporating no image - thus failing Criterion 6 - but then realized that the image in question that I had expected the author to have used, which was on another article, was fair use. I will be re-opening this review. - OmegaAOL (talk page, and contribs) 03:23, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
