I don't know if you remember volunteering to help long - long - ago, but this page finally went GA and I have high hopes of taking it to FA status as well, but I am unsure how. I wouldvery much appreciate your input and guidance on that. I made one attempt at FA years ago and did not succeed - I was completely unprepared - so now I want very much to be fully prepared, so I am asking for help. This is an important article and should be FA quality for all the right reasons. Do you have time to help a fellow editor?Jenhawk777 (talk)05:05, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Midnight. I have a question. Sry to bother you in particular. But just because we care deeply about Angela Lansbury's gold star FA status, and her article has the "Dame" above her name (within the infobox). I'm not well-versed in the reasons why. I perusedMOS:DAME, and felt that I had a good grasp on it. And it stipulated why, and reinforced it.
Now, onAlan Bates, a user has removed Sir from above his name, and placed itin front of Alan (within the infobox). I personally felt that he is not comprehending the Wikipedia rule. Maybe I am misunderstanding something, but I don't see any discrepancy in his knighthood as to why his shouldn't be above his name as per common Wiki practice, while other actors do. If you could help me articulate it properly, I'd appreciate it. My understanding was that the "in front of" rule meant in the first paragraph, but it still meant the "Sir" goes above within the infobox. --Cinemaniac86TalkStalk07:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -- I know you're the major contributor toAleister Crowley so I thought I would drop you a note about George Raffalovich, one of his associates. A friend of mine is a relative of Raffalovich's, and has sent me some sources (that I've yet to review) about him. I am hoping to create an article about him. I don't think this is a conflict of interest but will mention it on the article talk page anyway in case anyone disagrees. Since you're interested in Crowley I thought you might also be interested in Raffalovich -- if so please drop by the article and help out to whatever extent you're interested.Mike Christie (talk -contribs -library)23:59, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning,
I noticed you reverted all my recent edits to theRastafari article without any explanation in the edit summaries. Can you explain why? If there are any specific objections, perhaps we can find consensus or I can take it to talk to see what others think.I'll explain my reasoning, too, in case that helps. Firstly, "Rastafarian" and "Rastafarianism" is largely an exonym of which Rastafari disapprove. They tend to reject the idea that it's an "-ism", and the article reflects that. Importantly, most articles highlight when something is an exonym and when the subjects at hand nay disagree with its usage, so this should too, without a strong policy-based reason to do otherwise.
The other edits were mainly for brevity andWP:NPOV. E.g., the following wording is both overly long and minimises the beliefs of the group:
"Central to the religion is a monotheistic belief in a single God, referred to as Jah,who is deemed to partially reside within each individual."
This is over-hedging, since we've already said these are their beliefs, so it's clear we aren't saying their beliefs are true in Wikivoice. We don't need to hold their views in metaphorical scare quotes, since it implies disdain.
Tweaking that to the following is more direct, and less likely to be read as pushing an antagonistic POV:
"Central to the religion is a monotheistic belief in a single God, referred to as Jah, who partially resides within each individual."
(Nor are we overly complicating the language to explain their beliefs here.)
Similarly "a specific interpretation of the Bible" is weak and vague. Specific how? I would argue it also appears to fail WP:NPOV, because it again minimises those views and holds them in an overly sceptical light. It's simply more accurate to move the text about Rastafari being Afrocentric up here to say "an Afrocentric interpretation of the Bible", not least because the interpretation they rely on descends from theEthiopian movement in early Revivalist Black churches in the Americas. The context of this is well explained over atBlack nationalism#Rastafari (and there's a section above it about Bedwardism, which led into Rastafari).
Finally, "Some practitioners extend these views into black supremacism" isWP:UNDUE in the lede because the term "black supremacy" appears only twice in the article—once in the title of an early 20th century book, and once in a section that says:
"There is no uniform Rasta view on race.[104] Black supremacy was a themeearly in the movement, with the belief in the existence of a distinctly black African race that is superior to other racial groups.While some still hold this belief, non-black Rastas are now widely accepted in the movement.[108]"
"Widely accepted" versus "early in the movement"/"some still hold this belief" suggests "black supremacy" is the minority view (and an outdated one at that), and therefore this is likely undue given the prominence it has. At best, you could say "Early Rastafari was criticized as black supremacist, though practitioners of all races are accepted by most Mansions of Rastafari today."
I'll start a topic on the talk page with a version of this for others to chime in. That way, we can help get consensus if needed.Lewisguile (talk)07:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Midnightblueowl. I was suggested to come you bySawyer777 to suggest an article that I andanother editor found onPortuguese Wikipedia:pt:Narcopentecostalismo which has a lot of English and Portuguese sources as well as some academic sourcing behind it. It seems very interesting and very GA-able, I found out while editing a gang article that is related to it because they created theIsrael Complex which is an example of Narco-Pentecostalism. I'd totally create it but I don't do a lot of prose writing. Thank you!Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥23:20, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
