Hey there. I see you are mostly busy elsewhere of late, but if you come around, will you consider putting this article on Freddie Gibbs into article space? Yr pal, 86.44.34.186 (talk) 22:10, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Eóin, do you have any suggestions for a next date or place for a Minnesota meetup? I was disappointed to miss last Sunday's meetup once a work meeting coincided with the time announced for the meetup. I would be happy to arrange a meetup soon. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 14:49, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I see you've proposed deletion of Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics and Health Care Compliance Association. Thank you for doing so!

A) There's no requirement to enable

B) Twinkle can also semi-automatically tag articles with {{notability}} and {{undisclosed paid}}. When I nominate an article for PROD or CSD, I often add both tags. In case my deletion nomination fails, at least readers and editors might now know that the article may be a paid puff piece.

Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 23:34, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion, @Unforgettableid:. I don't venture into the deletion policy area very much and it's been many years since I suggested a PROD so I'm unfamiliar with the best tools to use. I would appreciate your insight on what to do with this pair of articles.

• Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics was proposed for CSD, had the PROD removed, and has been reverted to a previous version that has references, but all of the references are press releases or from the organization's website.
• Prior to the PROD, Health Care Compliance Association underwent a similar revision as Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics by the same editor (Special:Contributions/173.11.55.148) to a advertising version. The previous version with references also only has press releases and primary references.

I would assume it's best to bring Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics to AFD now. Is it best to revert Health Care Compliance Association to a previously poorly referenced version, then re-propose PROD or directly submit to AFD? I'm pinging @AllyD: too because they removed the PROD and reverted the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics article to a previous version. - Eóin (talk) 14:23, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eóin: No worries! I think it'd be best to leave Health Care Compliance Association as-is for now. I hope your PROD will succeed. —Unforgettableid (talk) 15:56, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• I did think of reverting Health Care Compliance Association to a previous version, but considered it too promotional prior to the IP changes, so left the PROD in place. I have no strong feelings in favour or against the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics article: the PROD went as a by-product of the reversion to a prior "safe" state, as did part of its rationale, but an AfD may be appropriate.

Hi again!

It's thoughtful of you to have put in all that effort on cleaning up Andersen Corporation. But the real root cause of the problem is not just any puffery which exists now. Perhaps the real root cause of the problem is that there are too few watchers. Even if you remove puffery now, more puffery will probably appear and remain in the future.

I've been around for more than a decade, and my watchlist is a bit of a disaster; I usually tend not to watch it.

Permanent semi-protection might help; but the semi-protection policy is a bit strict. I suspect the paid editing is too infrequent to make permanent semi-protection an option.

I'm curious why you want the Andersen article kept. I think Wikipedia would still be a reasonable encyclopedia even without it. In my opinion, we have more important things to do than keep a close eye on the Andersen article.

Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 00:37, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's unfortunate that it possible for puffery to reappear and stick around for too long. Ultimately, I don't think too few watchers is a valid reason to delete an article. I think that's just the nature of some articles with specialized/local interest. For example, I used to frequently edit high school articles and they are especially prone to vandalism and have few regular watchers. While I'm able to easily look through my watchlist I've built over the last 10 years, I've regularly gone for long stretches without editing so close supervision of articles like this is not guaranteed. I agree that semi-protection is unlikely. When I look at the article history, I see two large incidents of promotional editing, one of which was relatively quickly cleaned up (certainly not to ideal standards) in September 2014 and the most recent which has stuck around for the last two years. I don't think two egregious incidents in 12 years justifies deleting an article I believe to be notable.

My interest in keeping the Andersen article is because it's a very large company in the Twin Cities area and I frequently see new stories on TV and in the paper. I've never used their products and I likely never will, but the frequent number of times I see them discussed in regional media show me it's notable enough for a Wikipedia article. It's unfortunate the company or employees seem to have been encouraging paid, promotional editing, but I don't think that justifies removing the article. -Eóin (talk) 14:59, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article

The article

The article Metro A Line (Minnesota) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Metro A Line (Minnesota) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Please see new note on your DYK nomination. Yoninah (talk) 20:27, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On 6 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Metro A Line, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while its predecessor had 80 stops, Minnesota's Metro A Line (bus pictured) has only 20, and completes the same route six to eight minutes faster? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Metro A Line), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. 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.

On 23 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Marq2 transit corridor, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Metro Orange Line and 80 percent of express buses in downtown Minneapolis use the Marq2 transit corridor? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marq2 transit corridor. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Marq2 transit corridor), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Greetings, Eóin. I wonder if you would give me your opinion about the use of a picture of North Commons Park in Minneapolis Neighborhoods. I always liked it but received an objection I can't explain. It's been around for more than a decade. Thanks either way. -SusanLesch (talk) 21:07, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Another approach that might work. Can you come up with a different photo that says "neighborhoods of Minneapolis" that I could swap in place of North Commons Park? No rush, we have until January 2023 when featured article review will begin. Overnight I was reminded of some excellent advice I got earlier this year, to just let this editor have his way with images. Then we'll sort this out in January or February. Best wishes. -SusanLesch (talk) 14:55, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From Flickr, would any one of these be better?

• File:Native dancing minneapolis-crop.jpg
• File:Sidewalk_Talk_Minneapolis.jpg
• File:Open Streets Minneapolis.jpg

They'd probably all have to have the same caption (...one of the 83 neighborhoods of Minneapolis). -SusanLesch (talk) 22:21, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
