Hey Tale.Spin, I'm PresN, and I got matched to be your mentor in the co-op program. Let me know if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them/help out! You can ask me on my talk page, or here- just put ((ping|PresN)) in the message and sign it (~~~~), and I'll get an alert that you mentioned me. --PresN 14:50, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
@PresN: Hi PresN. Thank you for the detailed feedback. It gives me a much better idea on how Wikipedia articles ought to be written. Best, Tale.Spin (talk) 18:49, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
@PresN: Hi PresN, I want to seek your guidance about "weasel" words. In the article on Joe Nocera I was working on, I included a subsection on his support for fracking and Keystone XL. I included the following sentences there.
Is the phrase "faces widespread scrutiny" a weasel word because "scrutiny" is a matter of one's perspective on the tone of a debate? I believe most people following this, regardless of personal views, would agree it is heavily contentious.
Then, I start the second sentence off with "Its critics argue..." Do I need to cite who these critics are directly after that sentence? It is implicit in the link to "Hydraulic_fracturing#Public_debate" in the previous sentence.
These questions are probably very minor in scope, but I just want better clarity on them. Thank you.Tale.Spin (talk) 12:14, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
@PresN: Hi PresN, I have a question about a Statistics-related article I'm considering adding. It is on Box's M statistic, which was first proposed in 1949 so it is "classic". Is it okay if I include the mathematics for computing Box's M statistic from a existing text, but using a different notation for the article? Of course, I'd cite that text. I do not find it anywhere on Wikipedia. (In fact, since I needed to use it for work, I first looked at Wikipedia but it was not present here.) Thank you. Tale.Spin (talk) 12:12, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
@PresN: Hi PresN, i have a quick question on film articles. Previously the critic's response section on Sicario_(2015_film) included 2 critic's reviews and has the tag "This section requires expansion." Today I added three more critics' reviews so there are now 5 critic reviews. Is it okay to remove that tag on requiring expansion now? i.e. do 5 reviews constitute an adequate expansion? Thank you.

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 18:18, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Are you named after TaleSpin? It's a great show! Safehaven86 (talk) 00:45, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
@PresN:, I hope you are doing well. I have sought and received a copyright release for an image I want to include on Wikipedia. The copyright holder e-mailed the copyright release to Wikipedia and they received a response. I am unclear on the instructions linking the copyright release to the image on the particular page. I do not want an image with the copyright release to be unnecessarily deleted. Can you provide guidance? Thank you. Tale.Spin (talk) 20:44, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
