Cut and paste moves

Cut and paste moves, like what you did with Persistent Repetition of Phrases and Take Care. It's a Desert Out There... aren't really desirable for a number of reasons. I'll just link Template:Uw-c&pmove here since it does a good job of explaining why this shouldn't be done. I understand that the AfC process can be frustrating with how long it takes. Just don't do it again, and you'll probably be fine. Invalid^OS_talk 12:45, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

I see, InvalidOS. I'll probably not use AfC again anyway since it seems as if that tool is more for IP users rather than autoconfirmed ones, though the page history of most pages only had my edits. But yeah, I understand.
At least now I know that I can move pages–for some reason, in my mind that seemed like a tool limited for admins only, like rollback or deletion rights–. ~ Wetrorave (talk) 13:42, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Apparently there wasn't really an issue with your moves since you were the sole contributor. The history merge requests I made were declined on that basis. Sorry if I disturbed you. Invalid^OS_talk 13:44, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

You didn't really disturb me, in fact I have a lot of free time at this point in my life. You would only disturb be if you had created Stages 4 and 5 of EATEOT yourself, which you didn't, so we're cool :). ~ Wetrorave (talk) 13:49, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. :) Also, as a correction to my previous comment: that was only on Persistent Repetition of Phrases. Take Care. It's a Desert Out There... still had a history merge occur, probably because I'm pretty sure I also edited it. Invalid^OS_talk 13:50, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Changes addressed; thanks for the review! I thought you did a great job reviewing the article, in spite of the fact you say you don't know much about baseball! Let me know if anything more is needed! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 11:51, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Sanfranciscogiants17, I don't know anything about baseball though, so it's impressive that I have apparently done a good review :). Now here is my conclusion. Wetrorave (talk) 13:45, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Everywhere at the End of Time

On 1 August 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Everywhere at the End of Time, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the album series Everywhere at the End of Time (2016–2019) by the Caretaker uses ballroom records to depict the stages of Alzheimer's disease? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Everywhere at the End of Time. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Everywhere at the End of Time), 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.

Peer Review - Everywhere at the End of Time

If I am holding up the peer review, then you can close it and I'll post further comments on the talk page or FAC – I do think the article is in a state ready for the rigor of FAC. This is all per your discretion. If you keep it open, I'll try to get my comments done in a timely manner. DMT Biscuit (talk) 22:08, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

I will close this PR then DMT snack (lol), and put it up to FAC the next day. From the opinions of others it seems that this article is generally (or even "astoundingly") well written, and I've many times checked the images for NFCC and the text for OR.

In summary, wish me luck :). Le six-hour dementia album will gain a new position. Wetrorave (talk) 02:07, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020

I saw your question at the FAR for Alzheimer's disease which asked, "Is it just me or does it seem that most articles promoted before the 2010s now don't meet FACR anymore?" There's a task force at WP:URFA/2020 which is reviewing articles promoted before 2015 to determine if they meet the FA criteria, and we could use more help in identifying articles that need to be reviewed. I hope you will join us. Z1720 (talk) 16:51, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

I'll strongly consider that, however I am away from my desktop at the moment so I'll check out that page later. Wetrorave (talk) 17:08, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

EATEOT

@Wetrorave: Greetings! I'm not sure if you're there, but I think you could easily get the vital Everywhere at the End of Time to FA. Just make sure images are properly licensed, and perhaps copyedit will be needed which I can help you with. If you consider doing so, reply and I'll happily copyedit and help you with the FAC. Wretchskull (talk) 14:35, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Wretchskull: Your use of the word "vital" really made me rethink this. It is indeed a vital article/album, and I've always wanted to see it on the front of the Main Page. And like you said, it's pretty damn close to WP:FAC as well; writing's a bit rough around the edges but the images are properly licensed, and if there's reliable sources talking about people using "Heartaches" on memes like Trollge and Uncanny Mr Incredible, that'll be a nice addition as well.

I've just copyedited it, actually. I'll see what more info I can find online, and check if everything's properly referenced (again). Wetrorave (talk) 16:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Also, if you'd like something similar to EATEOT (that feeling of things spiraling out of control), I'd recommend some game of The Backrooms as well as Don Hertzfeldt's films The Meaning of Life and It's Such a Beautiful Day. I plan to edit these articles as well. Wetrorave (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Wetrorave: Thank you for your suggestions! I found some results of EATEOT on the Wikipedia library; perhaps something to consider? Wretchskull (talk) 18:58, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Wretchskull: Yes. This might seem a bit unprecedented but I've just set everything up for EATEOT's FAC. I'll see what I can see on the library. Wetrorave (talk) 19:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Wretchskull, I'm wondering whether you could leave your opinion on EATEOT's FAC page? It isn't obligatory though (obviously). Wetrorave (talk) 16:20, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Sure! I'll take a look tomorrow - Wretchskull (talk) 23:16, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Original research, use of non-reliable sources

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:50, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

Congratulations, Wetrorave! The article you nominated, Everywhere at the End of Time, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Buidhe (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:06, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry

I put a few more things on Everywhere 's talk page. I'm sorry for suddenly throwing down more comments on a recently closed review; I typically read through articles several times across several days, but I was really worried (for some reason) that the FA would be archived, so I squished my review into two less-than-careful readings. Because I supported the article I'm totally fine with making the changes myself if you're burnt out. (I definitely would be, that was an incredible amount of work.) Sincerely, Ovinus (talk) 00:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ovinus: Bruh it's fine. I get 8 hours of doing nothing every night, which is more than enough for me to rest. Will respond soon. Wetrorave (talk) 16:14, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

William Utermohlen FAC

Hi Wetrorave. Given your work on Everywhere at the End of Time, you might be interested in this article and review William Utermohlen, which has failed its nom twice due to lack of feedback.

Thank you today for the article "about a series of six albums where each album depicts a stage of dementia. It starts off normal but with each album, it gets increasingly distorted and unrecognizable, eventually leading up to Stage 6, which sounds like it ends... how Alzheimer's usually ends. It then went on to be known for being extremely long."! - I have Kyiv Symphony Orchestra on the same page, DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:33, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Friday Night Funkin mod notability

Hi,

The notability of the everywhere at the end of time FNF mod is questionable.

• The source you supplied [[1]] gives a passing mention of the mod

• I was unable to find any other WP:SIGCOV of the mod from anything resembling a WP:RS

• Even if it was notable enough to warrant a mention, a spot in the lede is unwarranted. Its popularity on TikTok and in memes received significant coverage as evidenced by the multiple sources cited. The only source was the Romero article, which as mentioned earlier, was but a passing mention, unlike the multiple dedicated articles to the TikTok/Internet notoriety.

These are the reasons I opted to remove it from the wikipedia article, since you asked me to elaborate in the edit summaries.

If you could explain why it is notable that would be nice.

I have also left a similar message at the article talk page.

Cheers, (JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 01:17, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

I reviewed this article as part of the WP:NPP process and had to clean up that mess of an article you left. Wikipedia isn't a music magazine. Do you understand it, nor is it is social media site, a blog, a forum or substack article. Bandcamp, which you seem to be attached is an non-rs source, don't use it again. I think there is a competency issue here. scope_creep^Talk 07:14, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia has got certain rules over what social media links can be used in an article, bandcamp isn't one of them. Building an articles based on it is unacceptable. Only one social media site per article is the rule. I intend to check your work over the next six months. If I see more of this, I'm going to have to take you up to Ani and try and get you blocked. It soaks a huge amount of editor time and adds a burden to other editor that simply not needed. scope_creep^Talk 07:31, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

@Scope creep: I don't know if you've noticed the "daily" before the "bandcamp" on those links. Do you know what Bandcamp Daily is? It is Bandcamp's recognized music news website, which has been accepted before as a reliable source here on Wikipedia. I even used lots of them in one article I got to featured status, Everywhere at the End of Time! There was an extensive process for that page to get that good, and not a single editor suggested that Bandcamp Daily (not Bandcamp, that's the difference!) nor Fact were ever unreliable. Therefore, my Wikipedian partner, I shall kindly ask you to revert those edits. This is no reasonable motive for blocking another good-faith user, so please pay attention to the links you read in your screen before coming with this authoritarian attitude to my talk page.

Also, what do I have to do with the Death's Dynamic Shroud Page? Their music is fire and all, but I genuinely don't remember making a single edit to that page. I might be wrong on this, though. I'm just disappointed that you think I have no familiarity with the concept of reliable sources at all, or that you didn't even bother to read my user page at all. Shame, real shame.

@Wetrorave: Apologies for that misplaced message. I've removed it. I get tired seeing these types of fan constructed articles and I thought this was one of them, for which I apologise. Both the Bandcamp Daily and Bandcamp are both being tagged as unreliable sources. The entry of the reliable source noticeboard states that bandcamp daily while its not user generated content, it is created by journalists, -- is promotional and is considered primary and/or an WP:SPS source. It is also considered marketing content and is not independent. It really doesn't add up to a rock solid secondary source. That is the reason the software tagged both of the bandcamp and bandcamp daily as unreliable. It tends to be conservative in its approach. It is up to you if you decide to use it, but the extensive use of this source to construct the whole framework is probably problematic and you will get continued attention from NPP reviewers while you use it, not just me. I don't think it is necessarily authoritarian to try and address it, particularly when the article is in the review process. The point of that review is to try and drive up quality. So I can't revert in all in good conscience at the moment. I don't know why the FA article passed. Great achievement though. I'll ask around to try and determine why. Hope that helps. scope_creep^Talk 09:06, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
