Repeated reversion ignoring existing talk page discussion

[edit]

Please do not attempt to force your opinions on to articles when a talk page discussion on the matter has been started. If you have been reverted, you should either accept the lack of agreement for your action, or *you* should start a talk page discussion to put your point of view. If someone else has started such a discussion, then you should *never* continue to try to force your view onto the article(s) concerned. Please read WP:BRD if you are unclear on this. Many thanks.

Oh ok, so if someone reverts then I would discuss that specific thing on a talk page. Gotcha. Wasn't sure if there was a talk page or if we discuss it there. Themashup (talk) 06:24, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editorial opinion

[edit]

Statements like "was generally well-received" don't work well in the Wikipedia genre because it's your own opinion. Even if true, the reader can't trust it as true. And it's sufficiently vague as to have little meaning. If you were a regular named author in a magazine, people would understand you, your opinions. But in anonymous text, it doesn't work well. Better is be precise and state what everyone can agree is factually true eg. "was reviewed by the British press". -- GreenC 05:58, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha, thanks. Will just let the source speak for itself. Themashup (talk) 06:02, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve The Magician (Tóibín novel)

[edit]

Hello, Themashup,

Thank you for creating The Magician (Tóibín novel).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

There appears to be three citations with the same title and publisher. Instead of using aggregators, you could use the original review (ex. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/31/books/review-magician-colm-toibin.html for the final quote)

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|ARandomName123}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Ok, those are two different sources, Book Marks and Bookmarks are different one is more of a RT and the other is a more of a MC that helps in getting the general idea of critical reception from a range of critics opinions. I just noticed, though, I used two sources for Bookmarks since one is the section on it with the critic reviews and the score representing critical opinion and another is it being mentioned showing the general score again which is not needed since the other source does that already so neated it up. Thank you for the feedback. Themashup (talk) 01:00, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding unnecessary references

[edit]

Please don't add sites like bibliosurf (which seems to simply aggregate ratings from blogs) and critics.gr (which appears to be a Greek commercial site with user-generated product reviews). Neither of these sites meet reliable sources criteria. OhNoitsJamie Talk 00:08, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliosurf has blogs? (not sure as I don't translate french but thought it did only media reviews, can you show me the blogs it uses or you don't have to I can go check.) Critics.gr has users I think add the reviews but manually checks them before hand to add press reviews but had trouble translating. Not sure regarding product reviews if you mean of cars or whatnot.
