Thank you! Excited to have contributed my first article! Builder018 (talk) 23:35, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the anti-vandalism and anti-promotional editing that you do. Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:06, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I noticed you took care of one of the edit requests on the Rush Limbaugh page, and I was just debating on trying to request temporary full protection on the page. Something I've never done before and am not confident I know the expectations of. But the number of edits, even by registered and confirmed users, is so overwhelming that we have multiple requests to remove what could be called vandalism 5 minutes after it's already been reverted. Are you an administrative-aware enough editor to tell me if we should request full protection on the page for at least a day or two, or if that's an excessive request at this point? Thanks for any input you can offer. CleverTitania (talk) 18:18, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Hey! Yeah, there definitely is a massive abundance of edits, I just popped by quickly to help with the backlog of edit requests. What I'd personally recommend is give it about a day to calm down, and if there's still a large number of edits, make an extended protected request at Wikipedia:RfPP. Extended protected will limit it to anyone with 500 or more edits, so most newer but still autoconfirmed users can't edit. It should be noted though, usually the only time Extended Protection is granted is either in cases of prolonged vandalism, edit wars, or constant major changes to large articles; if it’s simply a lot of editors working on a project, there’s likely no need for it, and instead the talk page should be utilized to sort things out. Make sure to leave another message if you need any more help! Builder018 (talk) 18:24, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. "Real world" stuff got crazy again. Thanks so much. That's exactly the kind of clarification I was looking for. And often I feel like, when I try to ask questions like this, the person thinks I'm just asking them to fix something for me or to argue over a the way experienced editors tend to do it, when I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what more experienced editors would do and why. I really appreciate your help. CleverTitania (talk) 22:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

No worries about the timing of replies, I'm very aware of how hectic life outside the internet can get. If you ever need any more clarification I'm more than happy to help, so feel free to drop me a line! As far as the Limbaugh article, editing seems to have mostly died down by now, so protection seems unnecessary at this time. Builder018 (talk) 22:24, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out! I'm honored. I read your article and it works as a stub. If you want to improve it further... Try using active voice to help the prose flow. This technique can also be useful for adding more information. Example: Who rededicated the church in 1987? Find a way to name the neighborhood (Corktown?) and link to that article. The 120 year jump in the middle of the History section is jarring. That section reads more like a list of facts than a narrative. That's OK for a stub, though. Iterating/expanding in public is part of a wiki's charm! DetroitCatholic.com might be a useful resource for more information about the parish history and neighborhood outreach. As the article grows, you and other editors can smooth out the transitions between time periods. I hope that was helpful and that you'll let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

Nheyob, Thank you for your help! I've done some reworking to be more active voice but that's not something I'm particularly strong with. I've included the suggested information, as well as done my best work, in part using the Detroit Catholic source (which completely avoided my initial source sweep), to bridge the large gap in the history section (the largest gap is now only ~35 years). If you would be able to give the newer sections a quick sweep for grammar and prose that would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your help once again!

Sorry for the delay. I've pasted your text to my Sandbox. I'll let you know when I'm done with it and you can take what you like. Nheyob (talk) 15:04, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

I have edited the article text in my sandbox for readability and to include more hyperlinks. If you think it works better, please feel free to copy it for the article. Also, I noticed some apparent factual errors. I didn't see anything in the source you cited to indicate that Fr. Aloysius Bleyenburg owned the steamboat (maybe I missed it?), and the parish center was funded by a parish family, not Msgr. Kosanke. Moreover, I thought that the first public exhibition of electric light was interesting, so I added it. Nheyob (talk) 14:39, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I do believe the ownership of the steamboat was in the source (which ultimately isn't a big deal to include), though the parish center funding was on me for mistaking. I greatly appreciate your help. Builder018 (talk) 16:07, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
