User talk:TeoTB

Hello I'm a student from LUISS university in Rome and I'm working on a presentation based on wikipedia's crowdsourcing process and one part of the work is to put myself in the shoes of a wikipedia contributor and find out some feeling he receives when editing or writing pages. The questions I would like to receive answers on are the following:

1. What does the editor think and feel:
2. What does the editor say and do:
3. What does the editor hear and see (about its surroundings):
4. What are his pains (what type of frustration does the user feel when contributing):
5. What are his gains (what does make him feel good when contributing):

Active support is really needed so thanks in advance and have a great day Tartaluca (talk) 14:38, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi TeoTB. Thank you for your work on Difficult (Eminem song). Another editor, 11WB, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

This is an excellent article! My only suggestion would be to add Template:Infobox song. Happy editing!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|11WB}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@11WB: thank you for reviewing the article and for your very kind words!

Regarding the infobox, I intentionally left it out. With this being an unreleased song, a lot of the information you'd typically find in a song infobox (songwriting and production credits, labels, etc.) is unverifiable, plus the genre and length are not given in the sources, so I felt that an infobox would be redundant, as it wouldn't cover anything not already covered in the opening sentence.

I see also that you assessed the article as Start-class. While the article is modest in length, it is fully referenced, and there's not much more to write about the topic based on the currently available sources. Would you consider a higher assessment? (or, alternatively, would you be okay with me requesting a reassessment over at WP:Content assessment/Requests?) Cheers, TeoTB (talk) 13:23, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! If you think the infobox isn't necessary, don't worry about adding it! Regarding content assessment, I find that everything between Start-Class and B-Class is mostly arbitrary. You are welcome to apply a higher class. When creating talk pages for articles at NPP, I always put them at Start-Class and leave it to others to reassess! 11WB (talk) 13:41, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

I guess I could change the assessment myself, but I appreciate a second set of eyes, so I'll make a request at WP:Content assessment/Requests. Thanks for your reply; have a good day/night! TeoTB (talk) 14:56, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

When creating talk pages for articles at NPP, I always put them at Start-Class and leave it to others to reassess! Not a NPR, so not going to try to tell you how to do your job, but that might not be the best practice, mostly because nobody ever actually reassesses anything — the backlog at Category:Unassessed articles is huge, so nobody's going to go around double checking things. Unless somebody's worked on an article and remembers to update the class (or request an assessment at WP:ASSESSREQ), that icon is probably never changing. Consider either assessing it (and as you say, everything between Start-Class and B-Class is mostly arbitrary, so don't feel any pressure to get an assessment right), or if you really want to defer to the judgement of other editors, best leave it unassessed and someone will get around to it eventually. Cheers, and thanks for your NPP work! JustARandomSquid (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @JustARandomSquid. Leaving articles unassessed would only add to that backlog unfortunately. As an NPR, I am also required to rate specific types of articles such as stubs and lists. @TeoTB is welcome to assess the article themself or as they have already done, request a reassessment at the appropriate venue. The class is mostly irrelevant, it's about the quality of the actual article, which in this case is to a high standard! Happy editing! 11WB (talk) 16:33, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

@TeoTB, I am impressed by your work on the article of Eminem's 2003 diss track "Smack You" and recommend you to nominate it for status, being nearly the only author to have developed the article, and is impressively has informational depth when it comes to an unreleased song. - RTSthestardust (talk) 06:49, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I'm flattered, but I don't see myself going for GA on this or any other article anytime soon (I'm a little intimidated by the process still, and I also want to focus on writing some more articles I have in mind). Maybe sometime in the future!

Thank you, as well, for your edits to the article, but I had to remove some details from the infobox (songwriters/producers, labels, precise length), as we don't have an official release to verify them, and no reliable sources mention them as far as I could find. This is why I had opted not to include an infobox when writing the article, but I am not necessarily opposed to a small infobox containing the leak and recording dates, so I've left those in.
