Ways to improve LCBC

Hi, I'm Fisheriesmgmt. Danielklotz, thanks for creating LCBC!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Good start! I would recommend expanding the lead section, giving this article a good copy-edit, and reformatting your references to a more consistent and standard style. Let me know if I can help!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 17:44, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Fisheriesmgmt. I've done a copyedit of the article (you were correct that there were some glaring oversights) and, as such, removed the copyedit tag. As for the references, I do believe they are consistently formatted. I was conscientious of the formatting and used Wikipedia's citation tool in a consistent manner. I believe the appearance of inconsistency is simply a matter of the sources being of different types, and thus having different bits of information. They are each as complete as possible. Date formatting is consistent, as is author and publication information. If you have more specific requests regarding their consistency, please do let me know.

I have also slightly expanded the lead and removed the "lead too short" tag. I do not believe I can further expand the lead without violating WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY. If you have direction otherwise, please let me know that, too.

Thanks again for taking a look and offering direction on how to improve the article immediately. I do plan and expect for this article to expand in the coming days as I track down other sources of information. -- DanielKlotz (talk · contribs) 18:00, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for copy editing the article--it looks much better now! As for your reference, I was mostly just puzzled why you included quotes at the end of some of your citations. Is there a particular reason why you chose to do this? I don't think they are necessary to include in citations for this article, and I can't find any Citation templates that indicate that a quote should be included at the end of a citation. I think it just makes your reference list look clunky and a little confusing. However, if there's a good reason for doing this, I'd be interested to learn about it! I noticed that you also slightly expanded the lead. I agree that there's not much room for expansion, but I think the changes you've made are good. One note though--can you please cite your assertion in the lead section that LBSC "is now one of the largest churches in the United States"? Thanks for all the work you've put into writing and improving this article! Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 18:18, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Good point. I've removed the quotes. They were unnecessary. -- DanielKlotz (talk · contribs) 15:49, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited LCBC, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Swatara Township, Pennsylvania. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Request for advise on Marianne C. Brown‎

Hi, You flagged the article for Marianne C. Brown‎ for issues. I think I understand the issues, though not 100%. I read the policies, but I am still not sure, and would like to ask for some help or advise. I wasn't sure if the correct etiquette is to ask you, or try asking at a help place, like the Teahouse. Your advise would be greatly appreciated. Besenok (talk) 13:50, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for tagging the subjective wording. I attributed the language to the source. I can't see any points in the narrative now that are unreferenced or nonfactual.Ndoshinw (talk) 20:34, 30 January 2016 (UTC)ndoshinw

Thank you for making those improvements. I see that the "subjective wording" tag has been removed, and I think that's good. -- DanielKlotz (talk · contribs) 21:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lyon College, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Provost and Baccalaureate (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Simon Fuller article

Thank you, Daniel, for your message.

I’m writing regarding Simon Fuller’s Wikipedia page. It’s not entirely accurate, concise, nor up to date, and several citations contain dead links. As you've mentioned, I have a COI as I work for Mr Fuller, so we’d like ask how to clean the page of irregularities (repetition, out of date claims, dead citations, promotion of other individuals, poor use of language) and then lock it?

The edits I’d like to suggest contain citations for factual support to comply with Wiki editing protocols. They retain a neutral POV, use non-judgemental language, and are drawn from only reliable, published sources. Wikipedia states that editors with close association may be in conflict if they contribute to an article in a manner that removes relevant, well-sourced information. I’ve not done this. I have rearranged existing information to make the text more concise. I have included below a section to demonstrate my edit, which can be compared with the version online.

My edit: Simon Fuller is certified as the most successful British music manager of all time by Billboard magazine. [5][31] He has managed the career of Annie Lennox since 1991 and other songwriters including Cathy Dennis, who met Fuller as the singer of D Mob in the 1980s. In 2002 Fuller's company discovered 19-year-old Amy Winehouse, produced her first award-winning album and signed her to Universal Music. [32]

Fuller managed the Spice Girls through the peak of their 1990s success and he remains in partnership with the five girls today.[33][34] Under Fuller’s guidance, the Spice Girls rose to chart topper status worldwide and went on to sell over 85 million records.[35][36]

Previous version: Simon Fuller has been certified as the most successful British music manager of all time by Billboard magazine.[5][31] He has managed the career of Annie Lennox since the release of her multi platinum album Diva in 1991.[32] He has managed hit songwriters and producers, most notably Cathy Dennis, who first met Fuller as the singer of D Mob in the 1980s. Under Fuller's guidance, Dennis became the UK's No. 1 female songwriter with a string of hits for artists including Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Pink, Will Young and others.[33]

Fuller managed the Spice Girls through the peak of their 1990s success and he remains in partnership with the five girls today.[34][35] Under Fuller’s guidance, the Spice Girls became a marketing phenomenon, rose to chart topper status worldwide and went on to sell over 85 million records.[36][37] In 2002 Fuller's company discovered 19-year-old Amy Winehouse, produced her first award-winning album and signed her to Universal Music.[32]

Please advise. Ginomaces (talk) 12:54, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ginomaces: I appreciate your efforts to bring the article more in line with Wikipedia's standards. This section of the article definitely does need some help, and I'm afraid it goes much deeper than stylistic cleanup. Questions for you:

1. Can you provide the direct source from Billboard stating that that publication "certifies" Fuller as "most successful music manager of all time"? Neither of the sources cited for that statement back up that claim.
2. If we're to keep the bit about Cathy Dennis, we'll need a source to cite.
3. Are the members of the Spice Girls today girls or women?
4. Neither of the articles cited at the end of the sentence about the Spice Girls credit Fuller with guiding the group, and neither claim that the group reached "chart topper status worldwide" – a phrase whose meaning I don't understand (a group can have songs and albums that top particular charts; I'm not clear that a group can achieve "chart-topper status").
5. The source cited for the sentence about Amy Winehouse only contains a little bit of text; the rest is a video of Fuller speaking, which is not an independent source. Do you have another source to suggest for the statements regarding the role he played in relation to Winehouse?

Clair Companies Wikipedia Page

Hi Daniel,

I am the Director of Marketing for Clair Global, and I am attempting to remove an old Wikipedia page for a part of our business that no longer exists/functions as it once did. It seems as though you are the owner of this page. Would you be able to help us remove it? It is called Clair Companies. Looking forward to speaking to you soon.

Thanks!
