(UPDATE) The nomination on West Boca Raton, Florida has been removed due to your cleanup and some discussion with other editors, thank you for your contributions.

Please contact me if you have anymore questions about it, either via mention or a message on my talk page. Cheers. InterestGather (talk) 21:07, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. It's nice to see the article remains (I'm a Floridian but have no conflict of interest with the subject). Have a great day. FredModulars (talk) 22:40, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello FredModulars! Your Draft:Housing in Florida looks terrific. Thank you for creating it. Here are some minor suggestions: add [1] a stub note and [2] a few more in-line citations (perhaps using your existing sources), especially in the top paragraph. Cheers! -- M2545 (talk) 09:25, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@M2545: Thank you very much. It was a great idea to begin with, so kudos to you! I wasn't sure if I was supposed to classify my submission yet since it's in AfC, but I'll go ahead and add the stub template. Also, do you mean the lead as the top paragraph or something else? Thanks! FredModulars (talk) 18:54, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewers of the draft will probably check for a reference in every paragraph, and even in every sentence, too. So wherever there is an unreferenced sentence, try to find a source that supports it. Thanks again for your work on this! -- M2545 (talk) 07:59, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Thanks for the help! FredModulars (talk) 18:02, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FredModulars! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Unsourced Material, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread. The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FredModulars Sorry to intrude, being curious/nosey I noticed your personal practice copy of the Getúlio Vargas article and have seen your struggle learning wiki code. I too had to learn by trial and error, as I found the help pages too complex, written in "techno speak" to cater to other "technos". Anyways, to my point. I don't want to tread on any toes, but if you need tips on anything, template usage: e.g. {{sfn|author1|author2|year|p=1 or pp=1-32}} say, please don't hesitate to ask, as I believe we are in the same time zone (from your spelling), so if JackReynoldsADogOwner isn't available or something. 48Pills (talk) 20:53, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

48Pills You're not intruding/being nosey at all (it's Wikipedia after all). I was having quite a bit of trouble with most of what you said, mainly because I use the visual editor after originally using the source editor for most of my edits. I'll make sure to ask if I do need any help with wiki code and things like that. I appreciate you reaching out and am happy we're both trying to improve the Getúlio Vargas article. Also, my timezone is EST/EDT. Have a great day! FredModulars (talk) 22:01, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is that Australia? 86.30.69.219 (talk) 21:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, the east coast of the United States. FredModulars (talk) 21:43, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, who are you? I would assume 48Pills, but I'm not sure. FredModulars (talk) 21:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, yes, I forgot to Log in. How come you use British English? 48Pills (talk) 21:49, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

48Pills What do you mean exactly (where have I used British English)? FredModulars (talk) 00:40, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am sure I saw some and wasn't hallucinating, oh well, not important. 48Pills (talk) 00:47, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

48Pills Oh alright. Also, since the section is "Getúlio Vargas", I just wanted to ask if you planned to contribute any further to the page. I skimmed a little through your user contributions (sorry for being nosey, was just curious) and recognized some edits on articles pertaining to Vargas. FredModulars (talk) 00:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! If you looking for something to do for Wikipedia, I — Doggy54321 and 48Pills — would be grateful if you could remove unreliable references from articles. To get further information on how and what website(s) to remove from articles, please go here. If you need a further explanation on how, please feel free to {{ping}} me or Doggy54321! Now, I totally understand if you don't want to and I totally respect your choice! Let me know if you need any help! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 00:35, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JackReynoldsADogOwner I'd be glad to help out as much as I can. I'll read the user page and see what needs to be done so that I can try my best to assist in whatever is needed. Thanks for the offer! FredModulars (talk) 00:40, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JackReynoldsADogOwner Ha ha, that's what I've been doing for the last few hours. I finished one of the sites Mariah-charts.com, but don't know how to create the kind of search that only shows the articles I need to edit. 48Pills (talk) 00:43, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! FredModulars, thank you for helping us with this never-ending list! You're the best! Also, 48Pills, have you tried using {{in source}} OR even putting insource: in the search bar? Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 00:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that in the search 54321 gave me but wasn't sure how to use it properly, but I'll have a go... practice. 48Pills (talk) 00:59, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FYI FredModulars, there are instructions for this task that 54321 put on my talk page. 01:02, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@48Pills: okay, that helped a lot actually with clarification. @JackReynoldsADogOwner: like this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FredModulars (talk • contribs)

That’s a great start (love the edit summary), but please make sure to remove the actual content that is being cited as well. Removing just the source is almost useless as it leaves unsourced content that was originally unreliably sourced. It’s like how if wine turns to vinegar, you can’t just pour it into a new bottle. You need to actually get rid of the wine. The bottle is the source and the content is the wine. Thanks! D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 01:31, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FredModularsJackReynoldsADogOwner Just so you know, this is incomplete. You also need to remove the content that was being cited by the part you just removed. e.g. Britanny's record charted at #56.<ref>{{cite unreliable citation... if you remove the unreliable citation, you also need to remove the text in red. 48Pills (talk) 01:52, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Precisely. D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 02:08, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FredModulars Plus there's another thing you need to watch out for... If you look down at the references on Halsey_(singer), you will see there is the following: Cite error: The named reference :22 was invoked but never defined (see the help page). This is because the citation you deleted began like this <ref name=":22">{{Cite web|url=https://chartmasters.org/2019/03/streaming-masters-halsey/|title=Streaming Masters - . So, you would need to find every usage of the tag <ref name=":22"> and for each, remove the tag plus remove the text being referenced by that tag. 48Pills (talk) 02:17, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think 48Pills and Doggy54321 got that handled! Also, you're doing an awesome job, Fred! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!)

@JackReynoldsADogOwner: I think I understood my mistakes. So, do I do it like this? Also, did you try to email me? FredModulars (talk) 01:08, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late response. But yes, I did try to email you! Just trying out how the whole email system works within the Wikipedia System! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 12:16, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JackReynoldsADogOwner: Sorry for the delayed response, too. I cannot find the email, and I've disabled emails for personal reasons. Does my email still show? Also, does the edit I performed (from the message on March 4) follow the scope of the project? Thanks! FredModulars (talk) 17:03, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's all good! Also, I'm not understanding your question. If you are asking if your personal email shows up whenever I email you, that's a no. Your email is kept hidden and I can't see anything. If you responded back to me, I haven't seen a reply from you. Also, yes, the edit you performed follows the scope of the project! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 17:48, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JackReynoldsADogOwner: Not sure how emailing works. I was confused if you contacted me personally, but now I'm more confused. How does emailing even work on Wikipedia? And thanks for the help on the project! FredModulars (talk) 19:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lol! To be honest, I don't know. I think it's just like "regular" emailing but like... your personal email doesn't show up (or something like that.) I know that was very vague description, so, I'd suggest going here to learn more about emailing via Wikipedia. I hope this helps! Also, you're very welcome! I'm glad that I can help you! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 12:06, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Housing in Florida, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hey! It has been quite a long time since we last have spoken. I just wanted to check in with you to see how you are doing and if you need anything (assistance, questions, etc...) that I can help you with. If so, feel free to ask me here (or on my talk page). Hope you're doing well! Talk to you later! _{(If you wish to respond to me here, use {{ping}} to notify me)} Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 12:16, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JackReynoldsADogOwner: Thanks a lot for checking in! Sorry for being inactive for quite a while. Are there any more projects you and others were working on (like the source-removing)? FredModulars (talk) 16:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FredModulars, you have nothing to say sorry about! I totally get! Life gets on you and you just haven't been able to edit on Wikipedia! For right at this moment, we are still removing sources that are unreliable (if you need more clarification, direct here). Other than that, we've been just trying to get on top of new songs and album releases (for example Sour (Olivia Rodrigo album)) and such! I see you've been making contributions of your own, and I applaud you for that! If there is any contributions you recently did (or even someone else's) that you feel iffy on, don't hesitate to send them my way and I'll take a look at them and give back my opinion(s) on it. Again, don't worry that you're not on Wikipedia 24-7. Goodness sake, I don't expect you too! Let's just take it one day at a time! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!)

@FredModulars: I am so sorry I didn't see this for some reason! I usually edit rocketry articles. I revived WP:Rocketry. But I would still be happy to assist you in your history work in templates/design/images/grammar, but I don't think I would be good in information. I will also be on vacation in July and August so I won't edit then. StarshipSLS (Talk), (My Contributions) 22:03, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@StarshipSLS: It's alright. I'd appreciate any help, so thank you. Enjoy your vacation, too, and I hope you have a good time. I will see if there is anything I can help you with on your rocketry editing. FredModulars (talk) 08:39, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you're extended confirmed user! Congrats. With the ability, you can now edit pages that are extended protected! But, with the ability, it also comes with responsibility.

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 1937 Brazilian coup d'état has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

You will see I masked part of the last sentence in the lede "although there was some suspicion by the former" because it was unclear. I suggested this could be better discussed in the body of the article. (As far as I can tell it was not.)

In the Execution section I added a clarification tag to this sentence The president of the Senate was notified of the dismissal of the organ whose meaning is unclear.

Best of luck with the article moving forward.

Hi -- just stopping by to explain why I'm fiddling about with the indents in the FAC review. This is something that took me years to get right on Wikipedia, until someone took pity on me and explained it to me. The rule is that if you're within a list that contains indents (colons) or bullets (asterisks) or both, you should indent/bullet further by completely repeating the previous editor's indent, then adding either a colon or an asterisk. If you do anything else you sometimes have no issues, but it can lead to weird results (and I think it messes up screen readers for visually impaired editors).

For example, here's a legitimate sequence:

Indented reply

• Bulleted reply
  • Another bulleted reply
  • Another bullet at the same indent level

    Indented reply to that

Here's what it can look like if you do it differently -- you get these weird extra bullets. Take a look in the edit window and you'll see what went wrong.

Indented reply

• Bulleted reply

• • Another bulleted reply

• • Another bullet at the same indent level

    Indented reply to that

Anyway, I hope you don't mind the unsolicited advice. I'll head back to the FAC (and I hope you don't mind the nitpicking review; I should say I'm enjoying the article very much). I should have a bit more time this morning, and more over the next few days, to finish the review. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 12:00, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This helps a lot, and I had no idea there was a legitimate way to make replies. I will be sure to keep this in mind next time. Thanks for the assistance, and I don't mind the unsolicited advice or the "nitpicking" review, which it isn't. FredModulars (talk) 15:23, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I really enjoyed reviewing your FAC -- I do a lot of reviews and it's a real pleasure to run into a new nominator who can write a coherent sentence and understands their material thoroughly. I'm likely to be very busy over the next few months, but if you do decide to nominate anything else and would like me to take a look, please let me know, and I'll try to find time to review it, either before you nominate it or while it's at FAC. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:28, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mike, I can't thank you enough for all you've done. You emailed me newspapers from 80 years ago and gave so much unsolicited assistance. I probably won't nominate anything else for FAC for a while, though, but thank you so much for the offer. FredModulars (talk) 01:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 22 February 2022. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 2022, or to make more comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/February 2022. I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:09, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gog the Mild: Thank you for informing me and for writing the draft blurb. I made very minor changes to the article's lead and added some information to the blurb. Please feel free to change my edits for whatever works for the blurb. FredModulars (talk) 17:45, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, all part of the service. Your changes look good, thanks. The image has been booted as non-free, so I have replaced it. See what you think. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:07, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The image looks good. Since the cap of the constitution and the Cohen Plan newspaper are the only two images that would work here, I think either would be appropriate. It's up to you.

And again, thank you for your work here, even if it is "part of the service" :). FredModulars (talk) 20:20, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The file File:GetulioVargasage12.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned picture that appears to have first been published in 1974, in which case 70 years has not elapsed and thus is not PD in Brazil, and would have had its US copyright restored by the URAA

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
