Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:15, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help with the article on Norman Yee! You edit really quickly, and made some really valuable contributions in finding sources.

ChunyangD (talk) 03:50, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• No problem, ChunyangD. I was already on a supervisor editing streak and was delighted to see somebody else working on these pages. Thanks for your work. — BriefEdits (talk) 05:27, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I noticed that you reverted my edit on Timothy DeLaGhetto, saying the citation I provided doesn't work. In that video, he reads this article and explicitly states that the birth date is incorrect. GOLDIEM J (talk) 07:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey GOLDIEM J, feel free to link the video again, maybe it'll work this time. Otherwise, I can't really comment on the nature of your citation. But that also doesn't explain the birth year change either. — BriefEdits (talk) 07:38, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Watch the video from timestamp 1:40 🙂GOLDIEM J (talk) 07:48, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey GOLDIEM J, I've clicked the link from your edit several times already and it always says video unavailable. Please copy a new link and link the video here if you'd like me to review it. — BriefEdits (talk) 08:00, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I feel dumb for not realising what you meant the first time😆😆

Just re did my edit and the citation works for meGOLDIEM J (talk) 08:13, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! So I see you're currently one of the only ones that govern sWooZ1e's (Adande Thorne's) Wikipedia page and frequently revert his year of birth from 1988 to 1980. May you please provide some place where his birth year is given (whether explicitly or through some type of assumption?) I'm very curious on how old he is, thanks!! Jsjsnunya (talk) 22:37, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Jsjsnunya. I'm reverting edits primarily based on the previous talk page discussion and the LA Time citation. They're all available on the Wikipedia article itself. Most recent edits, including yours, attempting to alter the birth date have been unsourced. If you feel like my edits are incorrect or have a source claiming a different date, free to move this discussion to Talk:Adande Thorne, and we could discuss it there. Thanks. — BriefEdits (talk) 22:50, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello BriefEdits I noticed that you placed the MKBHD photo up for a speedy deletion, I disagree with this and I nominated it for a regular deletion (As far as I know this is how to appeal a speedy one, this is my first time appealing a deletion so I apologize if I did it wrong) the discussion page is at Deletion Discussion if you wish to change your argument as I just copied what you labed it as. As I noted in the discussion I found the video by using the Creative Commons filter in youtube search and I could only find that as the way to locate Creative Commons videos. If it was the incorrect way to find a creative commons video do you know of a page/link that explains how. Thanks. Terasail (talk) 22:09, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Update:Hello BriefEdits, thanks for the reply on the deletion request. I understand that I made quite an obvious mistake here and I don't think I can revert changing it to a speedy deletion again. However thanks for explaining where it marks the licencing on videos.Terasail (talk) 22:25, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Hey Terasail, don't sweat it, we all make mistakes sometimes. You can just say that you revoke your nomination within the deletion request page and that should speed things up once an admin gets around to looking at it. And, if anything, YouTube should fix their search results because it always gives me false hope whenever I go looking for images to upload haha. — BriefEdits (talk) 22:37, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! I didn't even realize that the shortdesc helper tool could do something like that. It was behaving really strangely, in a way that I had never seen before – and I've added or edited a lot of short descriptions using it.

It didn't look like anything had happened the first time, and I saw no indication of any network activity from my browser, so I clicked the Import button a second time, at which time the tool worked as expected.

So in short, the duplicate edit was completely unintentional, and your revert is a good reminder to me that I should check the history after something weird like that happens!

Thanks! 1980fast (talk) 23:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Hey, 1980fast. No worries haha, things happen. — BriefEdits (talk) 03:21, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that YouTube copycat, that was embarrassing, I'm normally much better at spotting those. As gratitude, I found an image for an article you wrote. I see you had some chemical diagrams there, which I didn't know how you'd like to arrange, but you probably want to move them around somewhere now. Anyway, hope you like! --GRuban (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Hey GRuban, it's all good! YouTube has always been sort of a nebulous place to find CC material so I get it. And thanks for the Mircea Dincă find. — BriefEdits (talk) 22:28, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

Hello BriefEdits I noticed that you placed a speedy deletion on Kevin Patel, I disagree with this and I nominated it for acceptance. This article has already been since May 6, 2021. I have just added further details and citations. Please let me know what problems you see with this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RiverSideSong (talk • contribs)

• @RiverSideSong: Once an article has been nominated for deletion, you have to keep the nomination template on the page regardless of how you feel about the quality of the article as long as the nomination is open and ongoing. A nomination does not mean that the article will be deleted. If you have any questions about why the article is nominated, please refer to the nomination page instead of removing the template. — BriefEdits (talk) 02:32, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• @BriefEdits: Why did you nominate it for deletion? — — Preceding unsigned comment added by RiverSideSong (talk • contribs)

• @RiverSideSong: I did not nominate the article. I am merely reinstating the template that leads to the nomination page wherein people can discuss about the matter. It is against policy to remove that template as long as the process is live, which you have done. — BriefEdits (talk) 02:49, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you actually tell me why you deleted my edit instead of referring me to a wiki page?

I referenced my contribution with a source to someone who is a university graduate in philosophy. Andrewjohnroy (talk) 04:28, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  WP:SOURCE for a summary of qualities you should look for in sources—with the primary examples being scholarly journals, reputable newspapers, or academic textbooks. With regard to opinion pieces, it's only fair to include commentary from figures that are notable or are published by reputable publications. (even then, you have to see if the commentary adds anything to the article but that's a somewhat different discussion) — BriefEdits (talk) 05:13, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pavel Ustinov, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pavel Ustinov until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

More endorsements for and against the recall are listed in the Alison Collins page, but I am not sure how to import them here efficiently. In particular, the editing window there seems to be quite small. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scribe252 (talk • contribs) 19:04, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• @Scribe252: Yeah the endorsement box template is rather finicky to use. It's much easier to add info if you use source editing and follow instructions at Template:Endorsements box. I can do more later when I have more time so don't feel obliged to do it. — BriefEdits (talk) 20:36, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Both quotations add up to only 9 words. I think that it is pretty efficient use of space to provide more context, and point out the specific reasons that these individuals had. At least, the reference to the Washington Post article should be kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scribe252 (talk • contribs) 14:28, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

? Not really sure what you're talking about but I have removed the unnecessary stuff in the infobox that I missed at first. BriefEdits (talk) 20:43, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have to be careful using the Visual editor as it can make unnecessary changes in the article. Example is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Peakboy&diff=1100224879&oldid=1100224428&diffmode=source Btspurplegalaxy 🗩 🖉 20:45, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You could've just done that to begin with instead of reverting because I'm really not sure what you're talking about. (Your edit summaries never specified). BriefEdits (talk) 20:50, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I still would've had to undo your edit, as it messed up the article. I just added the image by the source editing version. Everything has been fixed now. Btspurplegalaxy 🗩 🖉 20:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So is the only problem the death date and place parameters that was autogenerated? I see no problem outside of that. BriefEdits (talk) 21:00, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
