Hi, Joeyconnick. Thanks for patrolling new pages. I've declined your deletion request for a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to read the new tutorial for patrollers, criteria for speedy deletion, and particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion or proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Thanks! 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:8D79:AEC3:273:C19 (talk) 18:17, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Britt Robertson

Hello, I noticed you removed my edits to this article clarifying the different names this actress has used in her career, putting in a vaguer explanatory sentence in. If you feel it's "too early" to rename the article to Britt Robertson-Floyd, fine, I didn't argue with that, but I otherwise disagree with your position and find the priorr wording clearer and the inclusion of when she used one name or another to be worthwhile information for someone reading up about this person.

PS didn't ignore you... it hasn't even been a week.

When someone changes to a married name is possibly entirely irrelevant (unless there's some weird case where they then became easily confused with another person) and definitely not significant enough for the lead. Should we mention they've gone by other names? In most cases, yes (if they were notable under the other name(s). Do we need to include a timeline of that in the lead? No. And currently as you have it, you've only included the time for the latest name change (please note this does 100% NOT mean I think we should be providing an entire timeline... just pointing out the inconsistency and WP:UNDUE of highlighting a married name over others).

You also are editing in against MOS:NICKNAME: Anyone can figure out where "Britt" comes from if someone is named "Brittany". —Joeyconnick (talk) 17:53, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

East Vancouver: Revision history

Hi Joeyconnick, You removed the list of secondary schools I added to the Education section of the East Vancouver article as "Unsourced". What sources would be appropriate? The existing three items in that section are not specifically sourced, beyond being internally linked to their Wikipedia pages, which I did with the secondary schools.

This is my first Wikipedia contribution, so I'd just like to understand the guidelines. Thanks. Born-a-Weegie (talk) 03:29, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

It's unclear whether such a list is needed, even: why do we think it is? Does it help readers understand East Vancouver as a topic?

One of the common mistakes at Wikipedia is including information simply because we have it, when in reality we shouldn't be so indiscriminate.

But preferably there should be a 3rd party reliable source that lists schools in East Vancouver. If the other 3 aren't sourced, feel free to remove them. —Joeyconnick (talk) 05:04, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
