• ... that Grace Lavery's autobiography Please Miss discusses her transition but also the "paradigmatic concept of the penis"? Source: Please Miss, Publishers Weekly
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Talim (textiles)
  • Comment: The article was moved from draftspace to mainspace with this edit.

• @Silver seren: New enough in mainspace and long enough. QPQ present. Earwig mostly catches quotes and the work title itself. The quote in the hook fact needs to be more clearly attributed to Publishers Weekly in the article and then I will approve. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:31, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

• Can you explain what you mean by more clearly, Sammi Brie? The quote is from the second sentence in the lede, which also has an in-line citation to the Publishers Weekly reference. Silverseren^C 23:33, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

• @Silver seren: The article needs to state inline that the "paradigmatic concept of the penis" wording came from the magazine review. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:37, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

• It's in quotation marks in the article. Doesn't that inherently imply it's from the connected reference, as are any quotes used in the article? Silverseren^C 23:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

• Okay, Sammi Brie, I've added a specific name reference in that sentence to the source of the quote. Silverseren^C 00:02, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

• I'm just being picky because it's been an issue with a few hooks of late. Approved. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:11, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Please stop deleting content

I do consider your edit vandalism, Likeanechointheforest. The fact you're claiming the inspiration and background to the creation of the book "non-notable info" is telling in itself. Silverseren^C 19:18, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

It's just written so poorly as is, and no other writer's page, cis or trans, features that level of background information at a like, 7th grade English grammar level, you know? Likeanechointheforest (talk) 09:50, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

@Silver seren I'm trans myself. Please assume good faith here. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 09:51, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

First off, insulting my writing style isn't helping things and, again, deleting entire sentences is not grammar fixes. You deleted almost the entirety of the lede, which makes me think you don't understand what ledes are for in Wikipedia articles and how they are meant to summarize the body of the article. Silverseren^C 18:52, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

@Silver seren Oh shoot I'm genuinely sorry I didn't realize those were your additions. Maybe we can work together to make the page better? Stuff like this matters to me. I did what I did because I identified MOS issues inconsistent with other pages and was just honestly worried someone with bad intentions would truly compromise the page under the guise of fixing it, so I tried to take that excuse away from them Likeanechointheforest (talk) 20:14, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Like, seriously this is not meant to be an insult, but my immediate read on the writing itself was that it seemed like a translation of LLM additions in another language version of the page. I just want to put the writing itself at the level of the notability of the subject, which I'm not questioning. I do think it was overly bold of me to remove what I removed, but again, it definitely was not anything but good faith Likeanechointheforest (talk) 20:16, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
