Liz Sanbourne Query

Hello Aoba47: I'm in the middle of copy editing Liz Sanbourne but have a problem. See the following:

Early appearances (2001–02)

This is very confusing: “Along with Brian, and their friend

Doc
, Liz becomes close with Sheridan, who suffers from amnesia and thinks her name is Diana, and tries to help her regain her memory. She grows increasingly jealous of the attention Brian pays to Diana and suspicious of Brian’s true identity.”

This reads as: Sheridan suffers from amnesia. Sheridan thinks Liz is named Diana. Sheridan tries to help Liz(Diana) regain her memory. Liz grows increasingly jealous of the attention Brian pays Diana. ???

Can you clarify?

Regards. Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:09, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Liz Sanbourne

Another clarification - "Whitney turns against her mother due to the incorrect assumption that her child with Julian is child, which makes Whitney's relationship with him incestuous." Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:32, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: Thank you for your help and I apologize for all the confusion. I tried to convey all the information in as concise language as possible and it just ended up being very confusing. Here is a revise version of the first sentence that hopefully clears up the meaning:
"Along with Brian, and their friend
Doc
, Liz becomes close with the amnesiac Sheridan and helps her to try to remember her past. Sheridan, who believes her name is Diana, forms a romantic relationship with Brian. Liz grows increasingly jealous of the attention Brian pays to Diana and suspicious of Brian’s true identity.”
As for the second question, it would probably make more sense if I broke it up into multiple sentences.
"Everyone incorrectly assumes that Eve's child with Julian is Chad; Whitney's relationship with Chad is believed to be incestuous as they would be half-siblings. Ashamed of committing incest by having sex with Chad, Whitney turns against her mother for not telling her the truth about her past earlier."
I apologize again for the confusion. Let me know if there are any other questions or confusing parts.
Best,

Liz Sanbourne

Hello: Other than awaiting clarification of the two plot items I asked about previously, the copy edit of your article is completed.

You will notice that I archived the first of your Internet citations and I would strongly suggest that you archive the rest, as time allows. This ensures your article's references are available "forever". The site I use is https://archive.org/web/. Simply copy the url in your citation and paste it in the "save" box on the archive.org site and click "save". It creates a copy of the original page and provides you with a new url to add to your original citation. If you look at the url I've archived you'll see the syntax. You add the new url to the end of the original citation like this: |archiveurl= http etc|archivedate=31 January 2016}}, or whatever. Not all websites allow archiving - CBS TV news and the NY Times are two I've come across, so there's not much you can do about that unless there is an alternate citation you could use.

Look forward to receiving your clarifications. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind regards.Twofingered Typist (talk) 16:17, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

@Twofingered Typist: Thank you for your help! I have answered your questions about the two plot items in the past topic you post on my talk page; let me know if you cannot see it for any reason. I will do the web archiving as soon as possible and thank you for setting up an example for to easily understand and follow.

Kind regards.

Liz Sanbourne Update

Aoba47: Your updates make perfect sense and clarify things immensely. There's no need to apologize for the confusion - you know your subject, so it's easy to assume others do as well. It's difficult when doing a summary to know what to leave in, and what to omit. This looks good now. You're welcome concerning the archiving. It's amazing when I edit articles how many links are dead - so this solves that problem very nicely. Kind regards.Twofingered Typist (talk) 20:52, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

No worries; I found the following sentence in 'Background' doesn't come from the given source: "Sheraton Kalouria, senior vice president of NBC’s daytime programming, said the show’s racially diverse ensemble represented by "the African American Russells and the Hispanic Lopez-Fitzgeralds" reflects "its truly color-blind storytelling"". The reference provided is [1]. I've added {{

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The variety citation was intended only for the bit about Kalouria being senior vice president of NBC’s daytime programming and I incorrectly put it at the end of the sentence. I have moved it so that all the sources should match the quotes. The quote was taken from the Jet magazine source. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for the help!

Thanks; in 'Liz Sandbourne (Amelia Marshall 2001-06)' the second part of the sentence, describing the departure, including the direct quotation, needs citing: "Liz leaves the show in February 2006, abandoning her vengeance against Eve, Julian, and Alistair to find a new life for herself; her departure was described as "abrupt" by media outlets and the program's cast". I didn't find any other glaring errors I couldn't deal with. Cheers,

Simone Russell

Hello Aoba47: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Simone Russell has been completed. I have two suggestions. You might want to provide a brief explanation, if you can, as to why Lena Cardwell “lost” the role of Simone to Chrystee Pharris. Also, I notice that some of the article's urls have been archived; you should do any that are not, as time allows, to ensure the article remains stable.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Hello Aoba47: I have spent time going through Leavin' fixing multiple issues and I think that the article is now completely edited.

No worries; feel free to post as much as you would like on this page lol. I always enjoy talking to people so it is all good. I still haven't listened to the bonus tracks, but my list is pretty much the same as yours, other than ranking "Used to Love You" and "Rare" a little higher. I still have to listen to the whole album when I have more time lol. What do you think will be released as singles? (or the better question: what would you want to be released as singles? lol)
Aoba47 (talk
) 03:29, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Well, "Asking 4 It" looks like the next one to me. I'd love to see "Send Me a Picture" as one because it's a bit risqué and why not? "Rare" might be one as well. I hope (now hear me out) that a Target exclusive becomes a single... because in the US, none of those songs are available on iTunes. If she released a Target song as a single on iTunes, all of her fans that don't have the CD are now able to buy it. It's a good marketing strategy in my mind. And if she does do this, I hope she releases "Getting Warmer". "Rare" is super good and it's practically tied with "Getting Warmer"; I just love "Where Would I Be?" because it's so Gwen... What do you think is gonna be the next single? Carbrera (talk) 03:34, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
They are definitely going to do "Asking 4 It" as I can see the record company thinking that it will have more radio appeal (especially with the Fetty Wap feature). I would love "Where Would I Be?" to be the next single because it is so "Gwen" and when you hear it, you immediately think of her. I am more than positive "Rare" will be a single in the future as well (there was an interview where Gwen said that it was one of her favorite songs from the album and that she wants it to be a single in the future and she is usually successful with her single campaigns). I could see an awesome music video for "Send Me a Picture" (but then again I love music videos in general and wish I could be a music video director lol). I actually think that releasing a bonus track as a single is a really good idea/marketing strategy. I know a lot of artists have done it in the past (I think a lot of people forget that Super Bass was a bonus track on Nicki Minaj's debut album as it was so successful in its own right). I will have to listen to "Getting Warmer" sometime and I will let you know what I think. I am excited to see what she does with the tour too! I wonder what songs she will put on the setlist.
Aoba47 (talk
) 03:41, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
You're right; I totally forgot "Super Bass" was a bonus track. I had that CD a long time ago... I wonder where it went lol. And I agree that "Rare" would be a good candidate. I hope Gwen tours, but in some interview she said how she doesn't think it's possible given her current situations. Crossing my fingers though! Carbrera (talk) 03:44, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
I think she will most likely do a small tour or selected performances in major cities. Not only is she busy being a mother and sorting her life out after the divorce, but I could see her record label being worried she may not be able to sell enough for a tour (while we both love her, Gwen has been absent from the music/touring scene for a while and "Used to Love You" and "Make Me Like You" performed decently in the U.S. but probably not to the degree the label would feel comfortable enough to do a bigger budget tour). I can realistically see one or two more singles come out of the album. Hopefully, she continues to make more albums (whether it is more solo projects or with No Doubt). We will just have to wait and see though!

2016 GA Cup-Round 2

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup
- Round 1

Greetings, GA Cup competitors!

Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Sainsf took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 765. In second place, MPJ-DK earned an astounding 742 points, and in third place, FunkMonk received 610 points.

In Round 1, 206 reviews were completed, more than any other year! At the beginning of March, there were 595 outstanding nominations in the GAN queue; by the end of Round 1, there were 490. We continue to make a difference at GAN and throughout Wikipedia, something we should all be proud of. Thanks to all our competitors for helping to make the GA Cup a continued success, and for your part in helping other editors improve articles. We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible.

To qualify for the second round, you needed to make it into the top 16 of participants. Users were placed in 4 random pools of 4. To qualify for Round 3, the top 2 in each pool will progress, and there will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 9th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on April 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on April 28 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here

Also, remember that a major rule change will go into effect starting on April 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 had an issue brought up in the rules, which we are correcting with this clarification. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: All reviews must give the nominator (or anyone else willing to improve the article) time to address the issues at hand, even if the article would qualify for what is usually called a "quick fail" in GA terms. To avoid further confusion, we have updated the scoring page, replacing the term "quick fail" with the term "fail without granting time for improvements". We expect all reviewers to put a review on hold for seven days in cases such as these as well, in order to apply the same standards to every competitor. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule.

Good luck and have fun!

Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

Olivia (Olivia album)

Hello Aoba47: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Olivia (Olivia album) has been completed.

You list two bonus tracks for the Japanese release but I notice that both are numbered 13. This should be clarified. Also, the citation for "You Got the Damn Thing (I Like) Remix" (Japan bonus track) (#27) doesn't appear to me to show the track's title.

As time allows, I would suggest that you archive the rest of the articles' urls, I notice that one has been - most have not.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Kind regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 15:21, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Oh my God! I didn't even know Shine was reviewed yet! I just saw you edited it a bit, so what would you like me to work on for the article?!? So sorry about this! Carbrera (talk) 16:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

No worries, the review was just put up so it is no big deal. I am almost done making the edits (there were not that many thankfully) and hopefully it will get promoted to a GA.
