Article for the Arc Institute in Palo Alto

Hi, I saw that you are a member of WP:SFBA and have an interest in science. I drafted an article about the Arc Institute, a medical research organization based in Palo Alto. I was hoping that you might take a look at it and let me know if you think the subject is notable and if it looks like it would be ready to include on Wikipedia. I would love to know your thoughts on the draft I have posted here. As you will note, I have a conflict of interest and so would love to collaborate with impartial editors.

Thank you, JoeofArc21 (talk) 15:58, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

Request for help with biography article

I found you through your list of interests at Wikiproject biography - figured you might be interested in commenting on Karl Menninger? I've edited it quite a bit recently and would maybe like feedback? Maybe I'm feeling a bit like I don't know what's the priority for the article atm?

First time reaching out to other editors through a wikiproject, hope it's alright! I hope to reach out to like 3 active users, see if this makes sense. User:Dwarf Kirlston - talk 03:59, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't know much about psychiatry, so there's only so many specifics I can comment on. I did do a few edits and fixed some typos and added some useful internal links. A couple things that jump out at me - it doesn't look like you're familiar with Wikipedia's citation style. Usually article links (if they're publicly available) are linked into the article title itself, for example:

• "Karl Menninger, 96, Dies; Leader in U.S. Psychiatry". New York Times. 1990-07-19.

Using existing templates is the preferred format (Help:Referencing for beginners with citation templates), though I realize editing these by hand is kind of a pain in practice. Are you familiar with Zotero? You can use that app or even just the website to automatically format sources and then export them in Wikipedia template form.

The other thing is that you seem to be writing in one-sentence paragraphs - try putting together several sentences on more or less the same topic into a paragraph. Single-sentence paragraphs aren't a writing no-no per se - sometimes a sentence covers a standalone topic - but they should be the exception rather than the rule.

As for what to prioritize, read some existing obituaries of him, especially those that might be in academic journals, maybe even thumb through a book-length biography, and see what those source emphasize. Wikipedia articles should follow existing, high-quality secondary sources.

Otherwise, I'd say you're contributions are quite good and I encourage you to keep up with your valuable expansion of the Menninger article. Cheers! Peter G Werner (talk) 06:58, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!User:Dwarf Kirlston - talk 00:53, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

The SONGCOVER guideline

Note that the WP:SONGCOVER guideline sets a high bar to listing cover versions. It's not enough that the cover artist is famous, or the album containing the cover version is famous. The guideline says that the cover version must be described as remarkable in a reliable source. In practice, editors here generally allow any and all cover versions by people such as songwriters who were involved with the notable version. For instance, Randy Weeks gets to have his cover listed at Can't Let Go (Randy Weeks song). And we always allow charting covers. Binksternet (talk) 19:06, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Technically speaking, "We've Only Just Begun" is The Carpenters covering Paul Williams, so his version definitely belongs. As for the Grant Lee Buffalo version, that is from a significant Carpenters tribute album, and I know there are reliable sources for it - I just looked. Peter G Werner (talk) 20:44, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Curious to see what you might have found, I searched online to see that the Atlantic magazine says something nice about the cover version by Grant Lee Buffalo.[1] That source can be used. Binksternet (talk) 04:38, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
