The article Sheesh! you nominated as a good article has passed 
; see Talk:Sheesh! for comments about the article, and Talk:Sheesh!/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Kyle Peake -- Kyle Peake (talk) 15:20, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
DYK for Sheesh![edit]
On 13 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sheesh!, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that both Toyota and Pizza Hut have had commercials saying "Sheesh!"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sheesh!. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Sheesh!), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

The file File:You're Makin' Me High (Toni Braxton song - sample).ogg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
sample not proven contextually significant to the whole song in question. also, sample unneeded as free text can help users seek the whole recording outside the project.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Your sister's BLP article[edit]
I am sympathetic to your situation and will gladly help you with the COI problem if I can! I have experience with that. I am totally neutral and uninvolved regarding your sister's BLP draft article. I commented on the AN as I happened to be there looking at something else.
One small point: You said "@Honest social medias such as Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook" in your comment at AN. I'm unsure what that means. I suggest avoiding WP:SOAPBOX if you're suggesting that Twitter is dishonest. I like Twitter. Don't alienate people who want to help you, unless my fondness for Twitter makes you consider my assistance unacceptable. It is possible that you meant something totally different with @Honest social medias. If so, please disregard this second paragraph. Let me know on my talk page if I can help with the BLP article. FeralOink (talk) 13:07, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- User:FeralOink, I completely missed this point. I'd love the assistance. I mostly use Instagram myself and know my sister was on IG stories. Her story was preserved here. I don't know if this was posted on Twitter.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:09, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Tony! Good to hear from you. I assisted COI editors with updating organization articles, so I know the process. For BLPs, I became more of a detector of undeclared COI editors (e.g. wives, graduate students, see Connected contributors list, husbands, close relatives) of article subjects! I am eager to help you, because you weren't surreptitious. Also, I'm a woman: I want to help you determine if your sister is appropriate for a WP BLP. I realize that an event that took place, and it would have been helpful for your sister's BLP to be approved in main space by Jan2023 month end. It's never too late! Tell me (here or my talk page) what the draft space or sandbox URL of the BLP that the drive-by editor submitted. I will have a look, see what I can do with it.
- P.S. Re Twitter, I use it for professional contacts in banking and data security. Almost overnight, Elon went from a tech bro, Silicon Valley celebrity (revered for Tesla and SpaceX), to a bad guy of the New Right, NOT Alt-Right! Yet Fox News (Musk’s biz ties to China create unease in Washington for GOP and Dems) and left-wing tech blogs ("Free speech absolutist" Elon Musk’s ties to Chinese censorship) both suggest that he is looking out for himself. Twitter was losing $4 million per day for years; the former owners couldn't turn a profit, so whatever Elon does can't be worse! Sorry for going off topic. FeralOink (talk) 21:10, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- User:FeralOink, the current draft of the article is at Draft:Carla Vernón, I am having trouble using sources that I would ordinarily use because I think the perception is that as CEO my any press release was crafted by my sister. Then the camplaints are that everything traces back to my sister's press releases or her own quotes/voice.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:02, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, Tony, I understand what you're saying. Press releases aren't good sources in general. However, articles written about her, that quote her, should be okay. I'll have a look and let you know in a few days.--FeralOink (talk) 06:15, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Tony, I haven't forgotten. Can you please obtain a photograph that is compliant with Commons (and/or en Wiki requirements) for the BLP? She is so pretty and chic! Also, it is consistent with WP:MOS to include a pic for a BLP. I found many pics online but none for which the licensing was appropriate. You were 100% correct, about the many Internet announcements of her recent professional appointment as CEO of a NASDAQ-listed company, all of which are essentially just copy-and-pastes of the original press release. HOWEVER, I found many WP:RS and WP:NPOV sources (primary AND secondary) that chronicle her history of accomplishment and recognition. I re-wrote the article on The Honest Company as a start, realizing that she only joined recently. Wikipedia has a tendency to consider mediocre tech bros, insignificant academics, women of minimal talent in the fine arts, and various professionals with weird quirks as BLP-worthy. Yet Wikipedia rarely includes people like your sister, who is Ivy-League educated, has a record of ascending accomplishment in a traditional career path while praised and recognized by her peers, and is compensated as deserved (if we had a genuine meritocracy). I will work on your sister's BLP draft tomorrow and/or Saturday.--FeralOink (talk) 01:51, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- User:FeralOink, I believe that I will be seeing my sister next week. I will try to get a pic. Thanks for the encouragement. Can we move further talk to her talk page.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:25, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
