Sulphide Portrait Glassware

Hello Rollinginhisgrave - Thank you for reviewing Sulphide portrait glassware. I have houseguests right now, so it may be a few days before I can get to the review. As info, it is a "spinoff" from Bakewell, Pears and Company. TwoScars (talk) 17:32, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

TwoScars No worries, no rush. I can really tell, I'll discuss that more at the GAN as I think it's going to impact criterion 3 Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 22:17, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks again for all your help in the GA Review. TwoScars (talk) 15:51, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

A belated thanks for reviewing St. John's Shaughnessy for GA status. You left lots of good feedback that I will use to improve the article. I appreciate the work you put into the review! Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:23, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

No worries Dclemens1971, glad it helped. I'm sure the next nomination will be in better shape. For architecture works, a place to look for emulating style/sources would be User:Epicgenius/Quality article contributions. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 03:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Question

Hello, I see at WP:GARC you have listed Wing Sam Chinn despite Generalissima having written and nominated the article for GAN. Just wondering if this was correct. Thank you! GMH Melbourne (talk) 03:31, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

GMH Melbourne Hey, that's correct. Trying to increase the amount of circles by getting the nomination pools filled up faster. It can be substituted for dark chocolate, but I'll probably just put that in when this pool is cleared out. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 03:34, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Geoffrey Cuming GA review

Hi there - I would welcome the opportunity to co-review the GA nominee you suggested. What is the approach you suggest for collaborating on this? Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Dclemens1971 really glad to hear this. It depends on what you want out of it; if you do a sweep first I can do a second sweep and you can see what a different reviewer picked up and can get feedback on your reviewing. Or I can do a first sweep and you can likewise give feedback. Alternatively we can focus on your greater expertise with Anglicanism, and I'll conduct a normal review and you focus on accuracy / due weight. Approaches not mutually exclusive of course. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 14:44, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Why don't I do a first pass and then you can offer some feedback and pick up on anything I missed. Sound good? Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:41, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Rollinginhisgrave, I have done a copyedit of Matthew Webb (focusing on conciseness and neutrality), and subsequently re-nominated it for GA.

Talk:Tomato/GA1

You have evidently quickfailed this nomination because you feel it is a long way from meeting GA criterion 2. To me, an uninvolved reader, it seems that all of your complaints are rather superficial or indeed not relevant for GA, and it seems really quite ridiculous that you would consider the article "a long way from meeting the criteria" based on what small errors are present. Since you provided minimal explanation on the review, could you please give further explanation here? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:49, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

AirshipJungleman29,I've left a brief note on the nomination page about it, but I felt working my way through the start of the article the sources were not sufficiently reliable for the claims being made. For example, almost the whole introduction of the history section to my mind is unreliable sourced. Of the academic literature engaged with, the majority was a 30 year old text, and recent texts on the subject were not engaged with. I am a lot looser with quickfails when the article has been nominated in the last week, not because I have lower standards, but because I am quite reluctant to fail articles that a nominator has been waiting months for a review on. I think having to read and summarise multiple books and texts (to replace those that are insufficiently reliable and to add those not engaged with) is a reasonable amount of distance from the GACR to receive a quickfail. I dislike the isolated nature of GA with single reviewers, so I sincerely appreciate the feedback. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 12:07, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

The GA criteria do not require "high-quality" sources in the way the FA criteria do—all they require are reliable sources. What does it matter if a source is 30 years old? That is nowhere near the age where we need to worry about reliability. I understand the lower willingness to fail long-nominated articles, but you should be careful that doesn't lead towards a bias towards failing recently-nominated ones. Thanks for replying, ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:12, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

The issue with reliability around age of sourcing when more recent academic sourcing exists is that the field is being actively researched, and the information risks being outdated. The source may still be up to date with current literature, but to make that assessment that literature needs to be engaged with. Hence why I don't think this falls into the high quality sourcing standard (although my comment on Etymonline probably did, I should have put that in a suggestions subsection, but that was not taken into consideration with the quickfail even if I did not express that I made that distinction.)

Chiswick Chap, I don't think I needed the night to sleep on it, I think AirshipJungleman29 has got it right in saying that I erred into a bias; here where I believe that reviewer time at GAN is the most precious resource at GA and reviewers should be more willing to fail so work is performed out of the GAN system than in it. I apologise, I think I would have still failed it per my reading of the article's sourcing, but it also wasn't fair to you to face the GACR and a personal standard. Taking it on moving forward. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 12:30, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks. Working on it now. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:01, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Too bitey and dismissive

So feel free to improve it, provided you don't make it so long that it won't be read. I don't think editors care that much about its tone, we all just got very tired of all the time spent responding to these things. Btw such changes don't require revisiting consensus 61.

If you feel a need to "personalize" the response, I don't see a problem with a brief reply in addition to the link. But ~95% of what needs to be said should be said in the response page. ―Mandruss ☎ 10:54, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Consensus 61 took some selling on my part. Before it passed, shoot on sight was routine for those things. Now we give a full, consistent response that at least tries to be respectful. So there are degrees of dismissiveness and perhaps you can see how my perspective is different on this. ―Mandruss ☎ 11:03, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Mandruss Thanks, I didn't want to step on toes so acted adjacently. I understand editors are tired of hearing the same thing, I don't blame you for referring them to a pre-packaged response. Certainly better than shoot on sight. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 11:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Well you essentially violated established consensus, apparently knowingly so, so I don't know what you mean by step on toes. ―Mandruss ☎ 11:11, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Mandruss Unintentionally. Still coming to terms with the page and its processes, with less tact than may be desired. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 11:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for that, I was beginning to get worried. ―Mandruss ☎ 11:32, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Consensus 61 took some selling on my part. Before it passed, shoot on sight was routine for those things. I misspoke in haste. Now I feel the need to correct the record. Shoot on sight was far from "routine", although it occurred for the most abusive posts as it does today. What was more common was editors lacking self-discipline and responding to the OP in a manner that was time-wasting, inconsistent, incomplete, unclear, and/or disrespectful. That was the main issue addressed by the response page.

The response page was created in April 2020 with the expectation that it would just "catch on" naturally. When it hadn't done so by May 2023, I proposed #61. It passed, and it's a better world now. ;) ―Mandruss ☎ 01:34, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Mandruss Having spent some time thinking on this, I do like the idea of routing editors through a crash course on wiki policy on bias before they can comment on it, you pushing it was certainly for the better. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 02:59, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Hijacking this thread, what source were you referring to here? URL? ―Mandruss ☎ 12:08, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Mandruss this was the edit I was referring to. I do find it amazing that in neither of the discussions for consensus 25 using archive links to bypass paywalls was mentioned. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 12:17, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

WP:PAYWALL (policy). Apparently, the community cares less about that accessibility issue than you do. I was able to access that archived source at archive.org/Wayback Machine with only a little more difficulty than I expected, using only the WaPo URL. I guess the assumption is that any reader who cares that much about reading sources is likely to be aware of archive.org and have the competence to use it. Anyway we looked at #invoke (as I recall, some editor did a mass change that was promptly reverted) and the usability issues were just too much. ―Mandruss ☎ 12:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Mandruss I suppose, I wasn't planning on pushing for bringing it back. The #invoke history is interesting. I've been active on the page for about a week, do you have feedback for my approach I can take on? Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 12:45, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

I'd just remain sensitive to the fact that a lot of what you're doing is a departure from years of practice. I've been starting to get something akin to the feeling I had when the feminist movement was forced upon me whether I liked it or not. :)

You're better than we are. But there are more of us. ―Mandruss ☎ 12:56, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

User:TechnoSquirrel69 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

Over the last few months, I've been seeing the name Rollinginhisgrave pop up more and more around good article–related processes.

As it turns out, they have done the same for over 60 other articles in just the past four months! They also have a couple of GAs to their name — History of chocolate and Chocolate in savory cooking — with even more sweet things in the oven (so to speak), as evidenced by their user page. Although they have only been active for a few months, I hope you will join me in recognizing the good work they have accomplished. This nomination was seconded by Arconning and Vacant0.

Mandruss I certainly don't disagree, but this falls pretty firmly into WP:NOTBURO: potentially legitimate concerns not being addressed because they were raised in the wrong venue. Letting it languish, not being addressed to motivate them to be proactive is pointy. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I could not disagree more strongly. Process and organization are not bureaucracy, and perhaps you would benefit from more experience with discussions that mix topics. Remember, if consensus 8 is canceled, it will link to that discussion. According to you, it will be a great idea for it to include a lot of discussion completely unrelated to the cancellation of consensus 8. ―Mandruss ☎ 01:47, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Blond chocolate

It seems like you have quite some edits on chocolate, and I wonder, why have you removed blond chocolate from Types_of_chocolate article, on your edit on September 7th?

I wanted to respawn it to the article, but I want to discuss it with you before that.

I'd like to give you some arguments for Blonde Chocolate as a Type:

• Unique Flavor Profile: The Maillard reactions alter the flavor profile of white chocolate, giving it a distinct taste that sets it apart.
• Different Production Process: The specific heating and stirring process involved in creating blonde chocolate is different from the standard white chocolate production.
• Distinct Appearance: The golden color of blonde chocolate is noticeably different from the traditional white color of white chocolate.

Ruby chocolate is considered as a type, not a milk chocolate variant of ruby cocoa. It also satisfies all the above. So why not blond chocolate?

I would appreciate your answer. 141.226.144.100 (talk) 00:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi IP, thanks for putting this together. A lot of it is irrelevant to Wikipedia, it doesn't really matter if we can argue the case that it is a "type" of chocolate distinct from white chocolate, it matters how reliable sources discuss that. The most reliable sources I have seen discussing blonde chocolate as a type frame it from the perspective of Valronha's lobbying efforts for governmental recognition as a distinct type. This distinction is not endorsed therein. Don't worry too much about how types of chocolate looks at the moment, I'm going to work on it once I get all the sub articles to good article status. I'll move this to the article talk page when I'm not on my phone later, but in the meantime you can respond here. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 01:15, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rollinginhisgrave,

Thanks for your reply! I completely understand your point about reliable sources.

Honestly, I wasn't aware of the industry politics behind blonde chocolate (not from the US here). I initially looked for info on Wikipedia after a friend mentioned Maillard reactions creating its flavor. Since I couldn't find it, I added a short section based on this source. I also added a sentence about its short history.

Originally, I even put it under the white chocolate section because I wasn't sure of its classification.

I agree that regulatory recognition is important, but I also think the types list should reflect culinary characteristics. Ruby chocolate is another example, right?

I hope your reorganization of the chocolate articles will include the removed blonde chocolate information.
