1, 2, 3 UN Plaza, John Dinkeloo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bigeez/sandbox/3

Cheers, Eli Bigeez (talk) 15:12, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up @Bigeez. On a quick glance, I noticed that your second sandbox is extremely long, at about 18,000 words. The Wikipedia guideline WP:TOOBIG recommends that articles should be no longer than around 15,000 words. Therefore, I have a few suggestions:
  • I think the details about the architects and the neighborhood could be added to the architect and neighborhood articles themselves, rather than to the UN Plaza article. Then, on the UN Plaza page, the info about the architects and neighborhood can be condensed to one paragraph each.
  • In addition (or alternatively), I'd suggest that 1, 2, and 3 UN Plaza all be split into separate pages. Even though they were designed as part of the same master plan, all of these buildings are also probably notable on their own.
Epicgenius (talk) 15:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Great, will work on it. I'll probably split them up, just for simplicity.
Query: are my drawings acceptable as original work? I drew them off of articles/books etc. to depict the buildings.
I emailed the archivist at Roche Modern for an updated pix of Roche and Dinkeloo.
Cheers, Eli Bigeez (talk) 15:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
If you created the drawings yourself, I think they should be fine. Epicgenius (talk) 15:49, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. —capmo (talk) 19:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

@Capmo, duly noted. However, an administrator has already deemed that this isn't edit warring because (1) the edits were spread over several weeks, and (2) I made three reverts, not four.
As I mentioned at WP:ANEW, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission source does not use a diacritic, and neither does the National Park Service source. There is a PhD dissertation that seems to use both spellings interchangeably, but most of the other news sources don't seem to use any diacritics. Would you like to address this? – Epicgenius (talk) 00:35, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
You're right, there wasn't a fourth reversal; please accept my apologies for that. I just read WP:DIACRITICS, which doesn't seem to be conclusive on this specific case. So, I suggest we follow Black Kite's proposal to check the spelling used in each source and apply it in that section of the article. Would you agree with that? I assume that it will result in mixed spellings across the article, though... —capmo (talk) 05:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
@Capmo, thanks for your response. However, I think it's best for there to be a consistent spelling within the article. After further thought, either facade or façade is fine (though my preference is still for the former, given that most sources about the article use this spelling).

Rather than interfere in constructive editting...

Given the IP user's comment "I will not work alongside you at the article", there is nothing further to discuss here. Additional discussion can take place at Talk:Vineyard Theatre as needed. Epicgenius (talk) 23:44, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

in this case, adding citations to an otherwise nearly source-free article, why do you not join in the constructive work, and add sources?

You do not provide benefit to readers, removing signals that particular items of information are not reliable.

Moreover, you achieve the end of making the ongoing work harder, because temporary inline citation tags serve as markers that allow progress through the article, making constructive changes.

Please respect the in process tag, as I continue work. Then, please, come in and add citations.

A former faculty member, and former registered WP editor, who left WP over this very appearance-over-substance nonsense. 98.206.30.195 (talk) 18:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

When you add a {{refimprove}} tag, you don't have to bomb the article with 16 additional {{citation needed}} tags. That is called tag-bombing and is disruptive to the reader. I don't see why you need both the orange banner and the inline tags - choose one or the other, but having both is quite redundant if you're going to tag every single unsourced statement as well.
You will also note that, in my subsequent edit, I did add sources. My removal of the tags was a temporary measure while I figured out which tags needed to be resolved and which ones didn't. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Won't waste further time. Next time, consider collegially waiting until the other editor has finished their constructive edits (see preceding). As I won't return, I ask that you please finish completely sourcing the article that you've imperially begun attending. 98.206.30.195 (talk) 18:36, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Like I said, I already added sources to these statements, but okay. Epicgenius (talk) 18:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Please finsh the job that you interrupted. I won't be back. 98.206.30.195 (talk) 18:41, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
If you would like me to revert my edits so you can restore your own, that's fine - there was a misunderstanding here, and I thought you were tag-bombing the page. But like I said twice, I already added sources to these statements. None of the info in that article is unsourced, and I don't intend on stepping on your toes should you choose to make further edits. Epicgenius (talk) 18:45, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Replying to "My removal of the tags was a temporary measure...": As was my addition of inline tags (a temporary measure). Bottom line, it was clear I was working to add citations, line by line, and removing tags as I did. The article was not hurt by having temporary tags, it is moreso by being given the temporary appearance of quality by your reversion. And it was, from an AGF perspective, insensitive and disrespectful for you not to wait until the active editing to improve appearance paused. 98.206.30.195 (talk) 18:39, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Your

  • ignoring the ongoing constructive work to interrupt it before it paused (evident via the series of 4 short edit summaries, one-by-one, indicating a placed citation and removal of in inline tag, and a trio more that went to waste because of the interruption);
  • stating above "while I figured out which tags needed to be resolved and which ones didn't" (with its implication that it was something you had to do, for others engaged could not be trusted to);
  • an edit summary comparable vis-à-vis attitude regarding the removal of tags from the infobox, as this was an eventual obvious next step once the text sourcing had sufficiently proceeded; and
  • mostly, your snide edit summary ("does anyone really doubt..."), ignoring the constructive aspects of the editing, and calling attention to the work as if it was unnecessary, even ridiculous,

are the reasons why I will not work alongside you at the article.

My closing question to you is, where was your urgency in February, when you last edited, and left the article as the unsourced morass it was—as I stated in opening edit summary "16 non-sky-is-blue factual assertions, but just 2 independent and 3 total citations, e.g., most of infobox info unsourced, all awards unsourced, most productions unsourced"? 98.206.30.195 (talk) 19:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay, now you are trying to attribute bad faith where none exists. I restored your edits once I realized that I was wrong. There were no ulterior implications in my edit summaries. If you are offended, I apologize; there are a lot of bad-faith editors who tag-bomb articles unnecessarily. There are sources in the article now—all of the unsourced content is now sourced.
If you choose not to work alongside me on the article, that's fine, but then there is no point in further belaboring the issue here. – Epicgenius (talk) 19:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Chelsea, Manhattan

You added some statistics to Chelsea, Manhattan in 2019. Can you explain how you chose those numbers? I see that the racial statistics in the infobox are from [1], which is for "Hudson Yards-Chelsea-Flat Iron-Union Square", but the total population of that area is listed as 70,150 and you put 47,325 in the infobox. I'm not familiar with NYC so can you give me some input on what area should be used and what should be listed as the population of Chelsea? It would be especially helpful if we there was something from the 2020 census, but just a source would also be good. Should citydata be used? VirusDontKill (talk) 04:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

@VirusDontKill, good question. The original source was City-Data, but this source is now blacklisted (see WP:RSPSS), so it's no longer possible to add it to articles.
As to what area we should use, unfortunately that is a bit more nebulous. The city only provides detailed breakdowns for neighborhood tabulation areas and for census tracts, neither of which generally align with neighborhood borders (which themselves may be disputed). For now I would use the 2020 census data for the neighborhood tabulation area (or if that's not available, the 2010 census data). Epicgenius (talk) 13:25, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
I can add the 2020 data for "Chelsea-Hudson Yards" neighborhood tabulation area: [2] into the infobox. Or would that be incorrect because the area is too large? VirusDontKill (talk) 17:09, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
I think that would be fine. Epicgenius (talk) 17:17, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Symbols of Brooklyn

In the article Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch, you added text referring to "symbols of Brooklyn". I looked around, and there isn't much on the topic on Wikipedia or the Internet generally. This article from the Brooklyn Public Library says that "Seventy years ago Mrs. Florence A. Blum lobbied to make Forsythia Brooklyn's official flower," but I don't see that it was accepted. Are there any unofficial or official symbols of Brooklyn? Abductive (reasoning) 07:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

@Abductive, thanks for pointing this out. I had a look at the sources again; they're not so much referring to symbols of Brooklyn, but rather, the city seal of Brooklyn. I'll fix that now. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:16, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Brookfield Properties follow-up

Hi Epicgenius. Back in June we discussed the possibility of adding the following sentence to the lead of the Brookfield Properties article: "As of 2024, Brookfield Properties operates corporate offices in nine countries around the world." At the time, you said you were unfamiliar with some of the additional sources I cited to back up the primary (WP:ABOUTSELF) information at the Brookfield Properties contact page. I have done some additional research and I have found some prominent and more familiar secondary sources to support this information. I hope you'll now be more comfortable adding this line back to the article:

Thank you, Claudiailagan (talk) 19:14, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Community Configuration

The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration.

This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.

You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.

If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Future work

Increase constructive activation on mobile

As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.

Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

Passed GA on 185 Montague Street

Thanks for addressing my limited concerns, you made it very easy.

I'm not sure if you've seen, but I've been working through the backlog on Wikipedia:Good article nominations#Art and architecture. I've avoided reviewing the same nominator's work twice, in case they don't like my review style. As it stands, half of the backlog I feel comfortable tackling are nominations by you. Would you be okay with me continuing to review your nominations, or would you prefer to have some variety in reviewers? Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 14:27, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

@Rollinginhisgrave, thanks for the feedback - it's much appreciated. I'm okay with you reviewing another one of my articles (even though in general I do like having a variety of reviewers). There's a pretty sizeable backlog however, and not a lot of reviewers to choose from, so thanks for taking it on. Epicgenius (talk) 14:43, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Yeah I agree that having a variety of reviewers is better. Hopefully even if I don't review all of your nominations, I can clear out the entries that were above you in the queue so other reviewers get to yours quicker. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 14:48, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
