Costello question[edit]

Hey there Rlendog. Do you own a copy of James Perone's Costello book? I saw you cited him on Stranger in the House (song) and thought I'd ask. If yes I was hoping you could help me out. Thanks. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 19:29, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTOR[edit]

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up.

Brookfield Asset Management edit request to revert non-NPOV edits[edit]

Hi Rlendog. I am working to update the article for Brookfield Asset Management, the company I work for. I noticed you are listed at Category:WikiProject Finance & Investment participants and thought perhaps you would be interested in taking a look at an edit request posted by my colleague Mrn helmers. There were some non-NPOV edits recently made to the article which should be reverted. Another editor made some of the requested changes, but I would appreciate if you, a more experienced editor, would take a look at the edit request (which has since been closed by editor Z1720) at Talk:Brookfield Asset Management and revert the edits that you agree are not neutral. Thanks, Mf419 (talk) 13:56, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The administrator policy has been updated with new activity requirements following a successful Request for Comment.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

  1. Made neither edits nor administrative actions for at least a 12-month period OR
  2. Made fewer than 100 edits over a 60-month period

Neil Young Archives Volume II: 1972–1976[edit]

Hello Rlendog,


I see you have recently edited "Neil Young Archives Volume II: 1972–1976".

I'm not a registered wikipedia user/editor but I have noticed an error on this page:

"Like a Hurricane", track 1 on disc 9 is listed as "Recorded at Studio, Broken Arrow Ranch, 11/25/1975." However, according to the booklet included in the box set (and other sources including the wikipedia page of the song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_a_Hurricane_(song)) the recording date actually is 11/29/1975.

Maybe you can correct that.

Kinks singles[edit]

Hi Rlendog! Just wanted to apologize for not getting back to you earlier about the Kinks articles for the Soap Opera singles that were under consideration for deletion. I have not been very active on Wikipedia as of late and hence failed to notice the developments there. Thanks for doing your best to bulk them up--my sources haven't changed much for Kinks info since I created the articles, so I would've been at a loss.

I have nominated Fin whale for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks.

  • A new preference named "Enable limited width mode" has been added to the Vector 2022 skin. The preference is also shown as a toggle on every page if your monitor is 1600 pixels or wider. When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

DYK for Scared (John Lennon song)[edit]

On 23 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Scared (John Lennon song), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that John Lennon believed that the Rolling Stones' 1978 hit "Miss You" was based on a sped-up version of his 1974 song "Scared"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Scared (John Lennon song). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Scared (John Lennon song)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
