Username chuckle
I have seen your username around for a long time, and like most usernames I just brushed past any potential meaning. However, in my old age I have recently began learning to play the piano and of course have stumbled across the phrase "perfect fifth" repeatedly. So just now I saw your username with fresh eyes and franticly searched your userpage for a music related userbox like This user plays guitar or This user has conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra. No userbox, but I found the subtle link :-).
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that jazz! Commander Keane (talk) 10:03, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
- Happy New Year to you as well, Commander Keane, and thanks for the lovely note! Delighted to welcome you to the pianists club :) Glad you enjoyed the link too! I don't have userboxes up, but I did add categories three years ago and just never bothered changing it – I (mostly) play the piano and flute. Wishing you an excellent year and a wonderful journey into the world of music! Perfect4th (talk) 10:19, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
Question from RThurman (01:51, 8 January 2026)
I submitted a new article disclosing my possible conflict of interest. But the article has been revised to be completely neutral. I found this process a bit confusing, and I hope I did it correctly. --RThurman (talk) 01:51, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @RThurman. You didn't submit the draft for review. I have added the button to the top of User:RThurman/sandbox to allow you to submit it for review. However, before you do submit for review, you need to evidence why this college meets our special criteria for inclusion. The draft requires multiple published sources that:
- provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, excluding routine coverage like sports results, league tables, government inspection reports, and listings in databases or listicles;
- are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
- are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject’s own website, or sponsored content.
- Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the college is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. qcne (talk) 21:09, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
Question from Ragemushroom (18:13, 8 January 2026)
I have a friend in my high school alumni association who authored an award-winning book. I was surprised to find out that she doesn't have a wikipedia page and want to create one for her. https://www.evefairbanks.com/about. Her award-winning book is "The Inheritors" There is quite a bit of info about her online, so I have source material to work from. Is there anything I should know? --Ragemushroom (talk) 18:13, 8 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Ragemushroom. For an article on Wikipedia to be possible, she needs to meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for creative professionals. The draft requires:
- evidence that the subject meets the general criteria for inclusion;
- or evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for creative professionals;
- or multiple published sources that cover the subject or their work and:
- provide critical attention: professional reviews, excluding user reviews from the general public;
- are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
- are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject’s own website, or sponsored content.
- Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, she is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.
- It is often easier to prove the notability of a creative work than of a person. If the person is not yet notable, but their work has received multiple in-depth professional reviews, consider writing about the work instead. It's also worth remembering that Wikipedia prohibits promotion and an article must not advertise the book or the person. qcne (talk) 21:11, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
