thanks alot!! Lofi Gurl (talk) 22:06, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lofi Gurl and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you have been including quotations from your sources as part of some of your citations. While doing so is allowed, in my opinion providing quotations from your citations is not necessary unless the material has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, especially if the source is not readily available online. Also, most quotations will generate a false positive report at CopyPatrol, which creates extra work for the people who assess those cases. There's been at least 8 recent ones from your work in the last day or two, which is where I noticed them.--Diannaa (talk) 20:14, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bring this up with me, I guess I can omit or shorten them. I thought the quotes themselves were interesting and wanted to share them while recounting them in my own words in the article. Lofi Gurl (talk) 20:17, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you are dropping a lot of {{wikinews}} template news items into the middles of articles. You seem to misunderstand the purpose of this template, viz: external links at the end of the article. It is never used to to add references to support the text of an article. Prominent in the template description is:

N Do not place this template in the main body of the article.

Using this template to add references in the body of the article isn't how the template works. And your usage is almost always duplicative of the already-present referenced text so it wouldn't be an improvement anyway.

I removed the most recent few of these edits. Please go back through your history and remove the rest. -- M.boli (talk) 15:17, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but please understand I wasn't using these as citations. I know Wikinews isn't an acceptable source here. I just placed them wrong. Thank you for directing me to put these in the External Links section instead. I did this with the intention of encouraging people to contribute to Wikinews.

Hi, with this edit, you added the phrase that slam metal borrows "bounce and groove" from nu metal, citing the book Death Metal by T Coles. I can't access this book, and was wondering if you could share the quote from this book where this is mentioned. I'm just a bit skeptical since slam was pioneered around 1991, while nu metal didn't begin until around 93-94. Issan Sumisu (talk) 09:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Added quote. Sorry, I guess I made it confusing on my first attempt. How does it look now? I guess "borrow" was the wrong word, I just used it to avoid possible copyvio. Thanks for making inquiries! Lofi Gurl (talk) 16:18, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Lofi Gurl (talk) 17:19, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to say if you were ever feeling doubtful or uncertain of your editing abilities, don’t. In the few months you’ve been editing, you’ve gone above and beyond to expand dozens of different articles and have done a fantastic job retrieving sources. Keep doing what you’re doing Susrage (talk) 00:28, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It means alot! Lofi Gurl (talk) 00:44, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Btw just wanted to ask for quick tips, where do you usually gather your sources from and how do you pile them up for new additions to articles Susrage (talk) 02:49, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I usually start by finding an article I want to expand, and then I search the keyword into Google, filter it by "News", then sometimes I'll filter by year to make sure I'm not missing anything good that may have gotten buried. I sometimes compile all these links in a Word document if I'm getting deep into a specific project, though most of the time I'm just pulling information from whatever sites I can fit in my web browser at one time.

I watch alot of band interviews on YouTube and I pull tons of information and quotes from those as well. I also pull alot of information out of interior notes from reissues of music albums.

I also check out alot of books from the library and use those as sources. I thankfully have a vast collection of resources at my disposal.

Hope this helps! Lofi Gurl (talk) 03:07, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah that is very helpful. One more thing I wanted to ask, can the information from album notes and library information be found online Susrage (talk) 21:30, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes you can find it online, sometimes you can't. It really depends. Alot of information I pull from books I was not able to easily find online. Lofi Gurl (talk) 16:33, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lofi Gurl, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, 2025 Uttarakhand helicopter crash, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2025 Uttarakhand helicopter crash.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Scaledish}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

A tag has been placed on 2025 Uttarakhand helicopter crash requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Yes I plan on expanding it. Lofi Gurl (talk) 00:49, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Means of Existence. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. jolielover♥talk 18:36, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Couldn't find any more sources online so I just merged the content into the artist's page. Thanks. Lofi Gurl (talk) 20:38, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
