DYK for Santa Ynez Reservoir
[edit]
On 11 February 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Santa Ynez Reservoir, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Santa Ynez Reservoir in Pacific Palisades, which was built to provide water for firefighting, was empty when the 2025 Palisades Fire began? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Santa Ynez Reservoir. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Santa Ynez Reservoir), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thank you so much for getting a source into the last of the {{unref}}d articles for WP:WikiProject Medicine! It has been a long, slow grind, and I really appreciate your burst of energy as soon as we asked for help.  Thank you so much. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:50, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Can you look over it?
[edit]
Courtesy link: Draft:Ellen Roy Herzfelder
Hi Silverseren! I believe I am done with the draft. I have added all of the source you suggested. Can you please give it a look over? Once you do, I can submit it to AfC. Thank you, CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 01:04, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- One minor thing I would suggest, CF-501 Falcon, just as a personal preference, is for the formatting of the sources I sent. You don't need the full titles that include the authors or the "Page 2" part. For the former, you've been using the full Cite news formatting anyways, so feel free to use the "last" and "first" parameters for author name instead of keeping the name in the title. And for the latter, those two pages are the same article, so they shouldn't be separate references. What I usually do is use the first page as the url link and then include the second page link as a part of the "Pages" parameter with the appropriate page name/number. I've just made all of those changes in one of the refs on the draft as an example of what I mean for all of that. It should result in the references section looking a lot nicer. Other than that, the article looks good to go to me. SilverserenC 01:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the advice! I have done what you said and cleaned up the authors and remove the "page 2" from the title. However, I have not used the first page for the other two article. Is what I have done okay? Thank you, CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 01:38, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- The ones you changed look fine, but you missed a couple references that need authors. Two more, it looks like. After that, feel free to hit the submit button for AfC! SilverserenC 01:43, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I fixed the two authors, the rest don't have any listed authors. Thank you for all you help. Cheers, CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 01:51, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry to bother you, It was rejected. The reviewer said she doesn't meet WP:NPOL. (There is more info at my talk page and WP:TEA) :( Thank you, CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 21:08, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Needs explanation on revert
[edit]You said on this edit summary that "None of these seem to be reliable sources", but both sources are listed on WP:VG/RS. Your revert also broke the reference I fixed, since it's pointing to nonexistent "Kaneko-20092". This should be "Kaneko-2009". Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 00:22, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Emiya Mulzomdao, I've fixed the ref name. As for the sources, first off, ThisIsGame should have never been added to VG/RS in the first place. You were the one who added it. Based on two discussion started by you, one with a single respondent, the other with no one responding. As for Automaton, there are similarly two discussions. One where the only respondent brought up concerns about it and the other where several concerns were brought up, but then arbitrarily dismissed because "we use the links a lot here" as the terribly poor argument by multiple respondents. If you're seriously going to argue for this being a reliable source, I'll be taking it to WP:RSN immediately. This isn't the sort of source that should be used outside of very specific video game articles. And especially not as general WP:TRIVIA additions to a historical biography like Yasuke. SilverserenC 00:34, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I added ThisIsGame, and I still do think I've provided enough grounds from myself on why I think that way (it exchanging articles with other reputable media like Gamasutra was a deciding factor). As for Automaton, admittedly I didn't look into it as much; I'm not the one that added it. So your point is that a) it falls too much into WP:TRIVIA and b) these sources are not strong enough to justify the inclusion. Is this correct, just to be clear? Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 00:57, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- I think the entire In Popular Culture section in the article needs massive pruning and improvement. There are a couple items on there, particularly the historical examples, that are of useful relevance, but the entire thing should not be in a list format, but in a paragraph written out format. Lists of indiscriminate examples just get immensely bloated over time. SilverserenC 02:11, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- I understand. On second thought, the bit about the shovelware may as well go to Assassin's Creed Shadows since it's more related to the video game than the real-life figure. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 00:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- That does make much more sense and is an article actually about a video game. SilverserenC 00:27, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
