Link archiver
Hey Aoba47 – quite some time ago you provided me with this link in order to archive Wikipedia articles. It has been of great use to me, especially as of late, but for the past few days it hasn't been working for me at all. I wanted to ask you if perhaps this was just a problem for myself (I tried several different browsers) or for everyone. I've been trying to archive a few final links in Happy Now?

Saving Light critical reception
Hey, I saw your message on the FAC page for Saving Light which you offered to rewrite the critical reception. If you want to rewrite it in your sandbox then override the actual article’s part with it, you can if you want to, I’m not very sure how to improve it myself apart from the suggestions I made on the FAC page in response to the oppose, who has yet to respond.

- Thanks for your help, I replaced the critical reception in the article with yours. I can see why the quotes were an issue, too many of them, linear and repetitive. It will be a shame if the opposer does not comment further and/or just leaves the oppose there, I won't know if the new critical reception improved the article and make it FA ready.

Just a quick tip -- you don't need the "composer" listings from Allmusic when crediting the personnel. That's just reiterating the songwriting credits from the tracklist.

Jill Valentine
Hi. You probably don't even remember, but you commented at Jill Valentine's FAC1 (over a year ago at this point). The original nominator – Freikorp – was driven away from the article, but I decided to take it over myself, and have been working on it for the past several months. I plan on renominating it at FAC sometime in September. Would you be interested in looking at the article sometime over the next few weeks and commenting at the next FAC? I understand if you don't wanna get involved again, but would really appreciate any feedback you might have. Cheers. Homeostasis07 (talk) 01:09, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

- Thanks for responding Aoba47. The whole JV thing was probably the most unpleasant incident I ever came across on Wikipedia as well, so I understand your point of view. As much as I think a new (i.e., new users) peer review could help, if the same people who took part in the last PR took part in the next one... I couldn't deal with that. Freikorp needs to be sainted for how he handled it, because I would've flipped my lid much earlier. I've no interest in moderating a two-month+ peeing contest. So that's why I'm doing this instead (asking people for their opinions one-to-one on their talk pages). Surprise surprise, the vast majority of them are exactly like you, saying something along the lines of not wanting to go near JV ever again for the rest of their editing lives. I wonder why.

- No, you're not a jerk. ;) I might have 2/3 free hours for your FAC tomorrow. If not, then the weekend. And the article's edit history doesn't off-put me so much, because both me and the previous custodian took care of a lot of that. What motivates me most is the overall ugliness Jill Valentine endured during the FAC and PR process. I've written (at least) 10 possibly-FA-approvable articles over the past year, but I haven't gone near FAC since the JV debacle last October. I'm doing this more to restore my own faith in the Wikipedia "process" than anything else. If genuine consensus is against Jill's article for genuine reasons at FAC4, then fair enough. If it isn't promoted for some BS reason, though, then I'm pretty much done with Wikipedia altogether. So there's a lot riding on this... ;) Homeostasis07 (talk) 00:11, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Possible false information on "The Way That I Love You"
Hi there again! While copy-editing your article, I noticed something strange. While you say the single and its music video were released on January 1, 2008, the magazines you use as sources (that for example review the song or talk about its release etc) are all not dated in January, but rather in February 2008. I tend to think that this is an error on iTunes Store's behalf. From my experience, I've seen that they often mistake release dates of items released a few years ago. For example, on Inna's "Un Momento", an archived 2011 version of the French iTunes Store indicates its release date as July 18, 2011, while the newest, still viewable version indicates January 1, 2011. Also, when browsing on Discogs — I know it's unreliable, but still — I even see 2007 as the release date for two "The Way That I Love You" promotional CDs [1][2]. Cartoon network freak (talk) 10:01, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
- I will look into it further. Several of the sources may be from February 2008 as they focus on the music video rather than just the song. Thank you for the help with the copy edit. Aoba47 (talk) 17:21, 27 August 2018 (UTC)]

Deep Space Homer opinion
Hello Aoba,
In my attempt for a featured article nomination on Deep Space Homer, you gave a long list of issues with an oppose comment. I agreed with your statements and have been working very hard these last few days to improve the article to your liking. I requested a peer review two months ago but that does not seem like it is coming anytime soon (PR needs a new system!). Do you have a new opinion on the article? Is it ready for another run at FAC or does it need to go through the peer review?
Thank you, all help is appreciated AmericanAir88(talk) 17:06, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

- As it happens, MicroPowerpoint is the other editor I've asked about this, so Head Over Heels would be a poor choice. Yes, criticism can be painful; sometimes you just have to grow calluses -- so long as the articles are improved.
- The article I've asked MicroPowerpoint about is also a song article; I was hoping to get a different area of pop culture. If they decline the request, one of the three above would work; if not, is there a TV article with sources that you feel are strong enough for a FAC review? It's in the nature of things that this sort of workshop will probably be particularly thorough, because the reviewers know they're being watched.

Inspired (song)
Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article "Inspired (song)" has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I read the GA reviewer's comments and I see you feel it is important that the term "with inspiration", which they questioned, be left in. I know that is one of the first things an FA reviewer would comment on. It is really a meaningless description especially since it is on a song sheet put together by an anonymous individual, so I also removed it. If you still feel strongly about it, removing the <!- -> code around the term in edit mode will restore it.
Best of luck as the article moves forward.
