Hi, Thanks and great job on Jacques Rivette so far. Just for the sake of mentioning it, I do still want to expand the "Themes" section, adding more info on his use of mysteries, conspiracy theory and the fantasy and theatrical side of his works. So if you think anything already in this section is redundant or a repetition please feel free to trim.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 05:22, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Will do; I hope to finish the article today, and will ping you when it's done. Happy New Year and all the best, Miniapolis 17:39, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for doing a great job. Hope that you enjoyed the article. I am going to revert one edit, but please re-revert it if you think my reasoning is too close to original research. It is the very last sentence of the article. I personally suspect that the coincidence of Parolini dying the day after Ehrenstein posted about Rivette's health is unlikely. She died in Italy on the 21st, which could have been the 20th where Ehrenstein was and I think its possible that he (or someone) was aware of Rivette's condition but sat on it to prevent Parolini from finding out. The email on Ehrenstein's blog is no longer active, so I could not ask him abut this, but I'd like the dates to speak for themselves since I'm not sure what time zone Ehrenstein was at that time. Hope you're cool with that and happy new year.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 02:56, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Sure, feel free. I only phrased it that way for stylistic reasons, because sometimes prose falls into an on-this-date, on-that-date pattern that reads a little flat. It's an excellent article, and my husband (a film buff) is going to watch a couple of Rivette's films :-). Happy New Year and all the best, Miniapolis 05:02, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

The article Wilshire Park, Los Angeles is now a redirect. Can we remove the GOCE tag from the Talk:Wilshire Park, Los Angeles page?--DThomsen8 (talk) 02:34, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I have turned that Talk page into a redirect. That should have happened when the article was redirected. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:16, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the stalk, Jonesey. All the best, Miniapolis 14:21, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

4 Months ago you deleted Walter Baets citing "undisclosed COI violating WP's TOS". A new user has recently been working on a draft at Draft:Walter Baets. Do you have any thoughts on the situation surrounding this draft and possibly ToS violations? Winner 42 Talk to me! 02:18, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

This article troubles me, primarily because of the formally-undisclosed paid editing by ShaneRothko101 (who has apparently returned as Rothko225). The COI is as yet formally undisclosed; it's mentioned in one of ShaneRothko101's unblock requests, but that doesn't constitute formal disclosure with {{Connected contributor (paid)}} on the draft talk page. As for notability, I checked the sources:

• 1 and 2 are directory listings.
• 3 is first-party, published by the subject's de facto employer.
• 4 is a passing mention in a self-published blog, the equivalent of a press release.
• 5 is about the school, not the subject of the draft.
• 6 and 7 are the same webpage.
• 8 is the subject's employer, and 9 and 10 are the subject's commercial website which, IMO, constitutes spam in this context.

The only source which may be reliable for demonstrating notability is the seed.uno webpage (6 and 7), which—if reliable enough—may indicate that the subject meets WP:NACADEMICS criterion #5. Hope this helps; trying to keep advertising out of an online encyclopedia is such a timesink. All the best, Miniapolis 03:36, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks; it's an interesting article. All the best, Miniapolis 14:28, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

== help on translation == hello I saw your name listed on some hk related articles and the thought you might be a native speaker. If so would you be willow my to help out on translating into Chinese and updating the China pabst blue ribbon page using Chinese sources? It's the only large Chinese beer brand that doesn't have a Chinese version which it did several years ago. Thanks for your time 😊

Please preview your posts before saving, and sign them with four tildes (~~~~). I may have copyedited one or two Hong Kong-related articles, but it's been a while. At the top of this page is a notice that I don't have time for individual copyediting requests; if you list it at the Guild of Copy Editors request page (following the instructions), I or someone else will get to it. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not advertising, and according to its Terms of Use you must disclose any conflict of interest. All the best, Miniapolis 17:56, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

..for your edits at the Prisoner article. It looks much better now. Regards.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:49, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Babba; I did what I could, but it's pretty fancrufty and the sourcing is below par. I remember that show from decades ago, when I thought it was awful; apparently my standards have dropped, because we're starting to watch it on YouTube :-).

I can still see the previous revision of File:(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin.jpg, so you probably did something wrong. nyuszika7h (talk) 13:06, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

That's because I didn't delete it. It's not orphaned; the file is used in (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. All the best, Miniapolis 14:55, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part; it's fixed. All the best, Miniapolis 17:21, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
