A polite request

Hi. When you fail GAs, could you please either 'archive' the nomination (for example at Talk:Niggas in Paris/GA1) or explicitly state "I'm failing this" in your closing comment? I accessed Talk:Hyperpop/GA1 via a wikilink rather than the talk page and assumed your "I've given a lot of time and space to this review" comment was a warning, so went through Hyperpop removing all the unreliable sources. (I was hoping to run this as a double DYK nom with Kim Petras - see WT:DYK#Trans Day of Visibility for context - but the WP:COATRACK violations tell me the whole article might need a rewrite and I'm not sure I've got long enough.)--Launchballer 07:10, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer Thanks for the heads-up and sorry for the confusion! I didn't realize it didn't auto-archive or something when failed on the talkpage. Either way, nice work on the Kim Petras GA/DYK. For what it's worth, I don't think it suffers from the lack of hyperpop GA connection. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 22:39, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for your contributions to Fashion Institute of Technology. Please exercise caution and diligence to merge content when reverting on pages with other successive non-disputed edits, so as not to undo the edits beyond the scope of what you are reverting. —BrechtBro (talk) 15:58, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Please exercise the same caution. When you are changing something that you know is a matter of dispute, as you did there, it may be best to centralize your successive edits, so as not to result in unintentional issues like this. Otherwise it's like layering good faith edits over something you know is a controversial edit (your change of FIT's classification) to make it harder for people to properly address the controversial edit.

Also, I've asked you this before, but please try and not be a jerk about following my edits. I have seen pages that you've changed before that I don't agree with, but have, with our past disputes, avoided engaging, so as not to raise any issues. I got involved with the SUNY RMs because I have a strong opinion there and it's naturally a discussion, but now you've gone into the FIT talk page, which unlike Modern clowning, you can't have had a watchlist on, disagreed with my comment in responding to a month-old comment and then reverted my changes. That's frankly jerk behavior, even if you may be doing it based on a belief in good faith that one version is better. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 16:11, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

You may wish to look at the revision history of Fashion Institute of Technology. —BrechtBro (talk) 16:16, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

I genuinely don't get what you mean. I see you categorized it as a community college days before I classified it as that in the lead? That doesn't seem to have any bearing on anything else.

You also didn't do the courtesy of trying to engage with what I said here in a meaningful way. I don't know why you see value in this type of behavior. It's just a waste of everybody's time. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 23:08, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

You could have easily merged the content by changing only the single disputed sentence back to your preferred version. I'm only asking you consider such conservative action in the future. See WP:REVONLY. That edit in question was executed on its own without any other changes in the article and described in the edit summary, easy to find. If I seem terse in my reply above, consider that you have made serious allegations about my behavior in both of your responses here. —BrechtBro (talk) 03:08, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I changed something. Then I made a talkpage post. Then you made your own comment to a different (inactive) comment in that same thread, disagreeing with the change. I try to incorporate your feelings into the changes and then you just revert it all. Then you have the gall, when I miss a small portion of your bundle of individual edits, to come to my talkpage and make a meal of it. Especially after our previous disputes where you exhibited WP: Game and wikilawyering tendencies (each time I tried to challenge a given interpretation of a policy you cite, suddenly you have a different policy).

Then you put a "disputed" tag on information that isn't disputed and hours after someone came in the talkpage and agreed with myself and another person about it being a community college, the tag's still there. So yes, I'm starting to wonder whether this is the behavior of someone who operates in good faith in these disagreements. I'm sorry if that makes you feel like terseness is the remedy, but frankly, you've done nothing in the past months to dissuade me and you continue to unduly revert edits and then refuse to allow any reasonable middle ground or resolution. It's a big website and there are plenty of issues out there (plenty of worse issues in that same article even). Who does this reversion-of-every-possible disagreement help?

One Riot, One Ranger

I notice that you made an extensive series of edits to One Riot, One Ranger. I think the edits are very well-written and have improved the page substantially, but the section on Jay Banks' involvement in the Mansfield incident is a bit long, and has (ironically) become much more detailed than the Mansfield school desegregation incident article that it references. I suggest that this content should be merged with the article about the desegregation incident and the explanation in the article about the statue pared back. Additionally, I think that Jay Banks (which is a redlink as I write this) should target the Mansfield school desegregation incident page after the edits are done. I feel that your recent edits prove that his involvement is encyclopedic under WP:GNG, but as a public figure, he probably falls under WP:BIO1E. Carguychris (talk) 19:12, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

User:Carguychris Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate the outside look. I've definitely waffled a bit about how long that section is. I lean toward it adding proper context, since a good part of the controversy (which is for better or worse the main notability of the statue) concerns him and his role at Mansfield/Texarkana. Definitely noticed the unfortunate gaps in the Mansfield page (and absence of a page for Texarkana and other civil rights movement in Texas pages). Once I finish with this one, I'll try and circle back and build out the Mansfield page. I also think that the Ranger portion would be a relatively small piece of each of those articles, just a few sentences about the Rangers being called and their disinclination to support the students. Their involvement is a controversy for the Rangers and for the statute, but they didn't change the course of the events so much in Mansfield/Texarkana as far as I can tell.

It also got a bit long since I tried to add extra context to a fuller picture, given the other pages' current issues. I kind of think he would merit a page (his national TV appearances don't seem directly related to Mansfield/Texarkana, he has the statue controversy, and he was covered consistently in the press until his death (often with mentions of various Ranger operations, not just Mansfield/Texarkana—this article from 1978, unfortunately only available as a low-res screenshot, gives an idea)) and if he has one, that section could be halved easily. That said, it's not really on my list rn. Either way, thanks again! I'll see what pruning I can do.

Also if you happen to live in DFW and/or might go to a Rangers game, the article could desperately use a higher quality picture of the statue. There might be one out there that's usable, but haven't been able to find one yet. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 20:08, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice on the article. I’ll continue to refine it with your advice and make sure it is in accord with the instructions provided. I won’t plan on submitting it again until then, and that probably won’t be for a long while anyway. It’s my hometown and I wanted to get it to a more comprehensive place since most rural towns don’t get the attention most larger towns do, so I may have been overly eager to get it out there. Thanks!

No problem, definitely get the impulse. Besides checking it against the GA criteria, I do think looking at other pages for cities that have received GA/FA status would help you calibrate.

Criticisms of the Presidents

Hello, this is about my 'Criticism of Presidents' pages I made and my perspective. I have just moved all but 'Criticism of Franklin D. Roosevelt' to draft space - since I was the only one who worked on all those other pages. The article was created in 2007, and I don't know when it became 'bias' assuming it followed Wikipedia's rules until recently... However, I did discover David T. Beito through the article, and I had never engaged with Amity Shlaes and her work before. I did add criticism from Leftists such as Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky for balance.

The primary source I used in all of those articles was Howard Zinn's Book 'A People's History of the United States' (left-wing, Socialist perspective) - and obviously 'New Deal's War on The Bill of Rights' (Right-wing Libertarian perspective). I tried to make sure I specified "Zinn believes" and "Beito argues", rather than asserting it as an objective fact. Though there might've been times I fumbled or completely forgot, I always try to double-check. I even added criticism of Presidents from their own parties, like how Democrats criticized Clinton for bringing the party closer to the center, or how some Christian Conservatives criticized Reagan's background as a divorce Hollywood actor.

I apologize for this inconvenience, my question is would putting apologists arguments side-by-side help? For instance, "[Insert Conservative commentator] argues New Deal prolonged The great depression because of X", whereas [Insert Progressive commentator] rejects that argument for Y reason." In Ronald Reagan's page, I mention how Reagan apologists (Dick Cheney being one of them) cite the Tower commission as an argument against his wrong-doing in The Iran-Contra scandal. If not, what solution do you have for drastic improvement?

Thank you, take care!

P.S: I created a 'Criticism of United States Presidents' category you can delete as well. Apallo334 (talk) 22:15, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi there,

I'll respond more on the substance in the thread, but I hope you don't take this too personally. I see that you've put a lot of dogged work into the pages and trying to add value to the site and that's really something you can't take away, even if the articles don't withstand the AFD process. I don't know you and I can't speak to your experiences/approach, but I know I've definitely had times where I spent a lot of time/effort trying to improve or create something here, but found that I had wasted my time because of some rule or a consensus I didn't agree with. I know it can also be a pain to find all of the written and unwritten rules, but they are out there (and various WP essays can help explain some of them).

Even if the consensus agrees with you, I would consider trying out smaller projects. There are a ton of sources and people interested in the US presidents. Taking of 6-7 presidents at once is always going to be a big task, assuming you're adequately considering the RS view and everything. If you're interested and want to work smaller, some of the individual president pages could use some work. It's also not a bad idea to check out projects like WP:DYK and WP:GA, but you really really have to read and follow the guidelines. I know they helped me understand some errors I was making and how to avoid them. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 03:42, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

2. Simongraham (submissions) with 291 points, mostly with GAs on jumping spiders, alongside various GAN and FAC reviews;
3. Jaguarnik (submissions) with 240 points, mostly from an FA on the 1945 film Ivan the Terrible;
4. Grnrchst (submissions) with 215 points, mostly from GAs on anarchist history in various countries, alongside many GA reviews, and;
6. Vestrian24Bio (submissions) tied for 4th with 215 points, with an FL and four GAs on Indian cricket!

These competitors are in the lead, but if past experience is any indication, big shake-ups might still await us in the contest.

The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:02, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi

Sorry to see that Spartaz baselessly accused you of using AI in a response, when this was clearly not the case, and then delayed admitting fault! I have had some trouble with this user in the past so I sympathise and offer my support. Best, Scientelensia (talk) 15:01, 30 August 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the note, I appreciate it. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 03:37, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

AI generated comments are generally not allowed on Wikipedia

A comment recently posted on my talk page seems to be AI-generated.It appears to be generated using a large language model or AI assistant. You may know this already, but editors here on Wikipedia should not use any LLM assistants to write comments at any time and this policy applies across the site.  Wikipedia's descision relies on open communication & decision-making process and you should voice your own authentic thoughts .Also, another independent editor Spartaz raised the same concerns about you leaving ai assisted comment on the archived property Brodska213 (talk) 05:47, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Nice try, but no I still definitely don't use AI and am now near 100 percent confident that your tactic here is meant to hide whatever second or third account tomfoolery you have going on. Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 09:59, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

please keep the discussion focused on the potential AI issue rather than making personal assumptions and speculative claims.Accusing me of "tomfoolery" & sockpuppetry without proof violates (No Personal Attacks).

Your comment on my talk page appears to be AI assisted.Another editor has also raised concerns about another comment of yours that appears to be AI-generated here at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASpartaz&oldid=prev&diff=1372445086 Brodska213 (talk) 06:54, 5 September 2026 (UTC)

There is no discussion here, you came with a bogus claim because you're frustrated that I made a (pretty measured) note on the inconsistencies behind your account creation. There are multiple other editors on your talk page and in the discussion who noted the same. I also didn't use the word sockpuppetry, but interesting for you to supply it. Whether tomfoolery is a personal attack or not I guess I don't know.

Spartaz's accusation was withdrawn and clearly made because they didn't want to deal with a long comment from someone complaining on their talkpage. It, like yours, was not based on any evidence or logic. I don't like AI and nothing in my comment or other WP behavior indicates AI. So, with respect, knock it off.
