Speedy deletion declined: FRS Iberia/Maroc

Hello Matty.007. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of FRS Iberia/Maroc, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Being an international ferry service is enough of an indication of importance to not be eligable for speedy deletion. Thank you. kelapstick(bainuu) 22:56, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the heads up. My main concern was that I couldn't find any sources, and all the ones given were primary. Thanks, Matty.007 18:10, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Typo in one of the userboxes you created

Hello there! I came across your userboxes, and noticed that you spelled Liechtenstein as Lichtenstein on this userbox. As it's in your userspace, I figured I might be better off mentioning it to you than changing it myself. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 02:00, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Mick Brennan (alpine skier) issues

Matty.007, I had to pull this nomination back from prep due to issues with the hook and the article. I imagine you'll want to address these as soon as possible, since the Paralympics are ongoing. The source where I found out about Brennan's Super G race results is here, though this may not be sufficiently neutral—a news source is probably best for citing. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:06, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I keep catching myself writing Olympics instead of Paralympics. Replied there. Best, Matty.007 19:54, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey, Matty - Well done! Just a quick heads up though (in case someone picks up on it ) - it seems to have picked up an unreferenced template in the ancestors section in the last few days. It comes up on my watch list as I'd sorted the bare url a couple of weeks ago. SagaciousPhil - Chat 17:03, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
I can't take much credit, I just referenced a bit. From what I can see we don't reference those sections, they are more than likely referenced in the relevant articles anyway. Thanks, Matty.007 17:09, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Yep, I thought it had passed too! Hchc2009 (talk) 17:33, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Referencing ancestry sections...

It didn't use to be the norm to reference ancestry sections, although recently there's been a few requests for references as part of the FA process, so that may be shifting... Thanks for finishing off the article btw! Hchc2009 (talk) 17:18, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, it is a shame if an article is failed because the nominator has to stop. I don't think that there's policy about it, but I'll bear it in mind. Thanks, Matty.007 17:21, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Toothache DYK

Thank you for your attention in this matter. Ping to Ian Furst, although may not respond atm due to internet access. Regarding this DYK, my only 2 concerns are that 1. the article is not currently as good as it could be (although it did pass a GAN recently, there is much work left to do), and 2. the wording "...that toothache (pictured) can be caused by the brain?" is problematic. Clearly you are referring to "non-odontogenic toothache", i.e. one of the causes of toothache that is not the teeth. However, I am not sure which of these causes of toothache are being referred to as being "caused by the brain". Please note that migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache are all associated with the peripheral nervous system, not the central nervous system (i.e. in nerves rather than the brain). Perhaps you were referring to psychogenic pain, but this is so poorly understood and rare topic, that "caused by the brain" is a potentially false statement. I have made some suggestions as to how the topic might be more accurately described in a DYK link, hope these are helpful. Lesion (talk) 13:31, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Did you know that toothache may sometimes be caused by sinusitis?
  • ...that toothache can sometimes occur in the absence of disorders of the teeth?
  • ... that toothache is the most common form of dental emergency?
Just to note, Ian had responded on the DYK nom page. Anyway, in response to your issues: the article doesn't have to be spotless, being a new GA it is likely better than the vast majority of the new/expanded pages nominated. The hook I got (as I always do) from the article; in this instance in the 'Non-dental causes' section, "Local and distant structures (e.g. ear, brain, carotid artery or heart) can also refer pain to the teeth.[35]", and this is what the hook is based on. I will suggest the hook that I actually properly understand (with my limited medical knowledge), but we need to bear in mind that the majority of the readers on the main page will be looking for a quirky fact. Thanks, Matty.007 18:07, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations!

Hi, Matty. Congratulations on your 10,000th edit, and thanks for the shoutout. However, since you recognized me for fixing your errors, I feel obligated to point out that you said "one if my primary reasons". I have a strict policy of not altering others' talk page comments (except for things such as fixing a link), so this is one I didn't fix. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:41, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me, now fixed. That's the main reason I try not to mobile edit! Best, Matty.007 06:41, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Oh, you composed that barnstar via mobile? I wouldn't have even attempted such a thing; that would've theoretically taken me at least an hour, but in reality I would've never finished it because I would've given up in frustration. BTW, I like the new colour scheme in your sig. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 07:51, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
It was hard! The new colour scheme was inspired by International Women's Day, and is a change from my traditional blue/green/red compilation! Do you ever change your sig colour? Best, Matty.007 17:05, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
I've played around with 'em a bit, but never found any others that I like. However, maybe I should do something a little different one of these days; I've used my current signature for five years, and that seems like a long time to go without a change. Prior to that I varied the form of my signature somewhat, but never did much with the colours. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:10, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
My faveourite is your current one, but that's the one I've known you by! How did you get the backwards colours? I think that all respected and well known Wikipedians get known by a certain quirk in their signature, you by your back to front last half and the greens, The C of E by his red/blue combo, TLSuda's old one... I want to get known for my three coloured sig! Best, Matty.007 20:30, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

IRC notes on re-imagaining mentorship

Here's the rest of my notes from the IRC room. BTW, I trimmed out TheOriginalSoni's comments because I didn't have his permission to post 'em. 

<Matty007> Would someone be albe to leave a summary on my talk page please, as I have to go now? Thanks
<halfak> Will do Matty007 
<Matty007> Thank you! Night all
<halfak> I'm just typing there for my notes now
<halfak> Once we worked out the implications of the proposed budget, we were at ~ $26500
<halfak> We decided that was too high and gave everyone a ~$5/hour pay cut. 
<halfak> Next discussion was about things that need to be cleaned up/fleshed out on the grant proposal. 
<halfak> We discussed cleaning up the "The Solution" section.  Soni, Gabe and Ocaasi will take that on. 
<halfak> Next we discussed how we'll measure our impact. 
<halfak> I'll be writing up a measurement plan.  Ocaasi had some thoughts about doing qualitative measures. 
<halfak> Final thoughts: Everyone go work on the proposal.

We need to have the proposal in a good state by the 24th to give people enough time to add their endorsement to the proposal. --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 22:29, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Western green mamba DYK nom

What exactly do you mean by "better alts" and "better hook"? --Dendro†NajaTalk to me! 19:18, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Ah, sorry DendroNaja. Alt is an alternative hook; and the hook is the "... that Matty.007 is a Wikipedia user", the line you see on the main page. So when I saying about better alts, I am saying that you probably have a better hook, or fact running on from the section title 'Did you know'. Thanks, Matty.007 19:34, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
So, something like "Did you know that the Western green mamba..." and place in a fact. Does this "hook" have to be in the article itself? --Dendro†NajaTalk to me! 20:10, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, with a source directly after it. Matty.007 20:12, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
  • "Did you know that the western green mamba produces a more severe bite than the eastern green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps), but far less severe than the black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis).link
  • "Did you know that the western green mamba can cause extensive tissue necrosis after a bite, although this is uncommon and is not characteristic for mamba species."link
  • "Did you know that the western green mamba is one of the longest venomous snake species in the world." (Spawls, S., Branch, B. (1995). The Dangerous Snakes of Africa. Blandford. pp. 51–52. ISBN 978-0-88359-029-4)
    • My favourite is the last one you suggested. Is it in the article? Thanks, Matty.007 11:21, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Actually, I was thinking of going with "...that the western green mamba, like other mamba species, has the most rapid-acting venom?" And yes, this one is in the article. (Chippaux, JP. (2006) Snake Venoms and Envenomations United States: Krieger Publishing Company p. 300 ISBN 1-57524-272-9) --Dendro†NajaTalk to me! 12:28, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Most rapid acting venom out of what? All snakes? Thanks, Matty.007 15:34, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes, mamba venom contains pre-synaptic neurotoxins called "dendrotoxins", which are unique to the Dendroaspis genus. Dendrotoxins are molecules of very low molecular weight and low viscosity and spread through tissue extraordinarily rapidly. The western green mamba venom has toxicity ratings or LD50 that is similar to some of the more venomous cobra species, but mortality rates with green mamba bites are often significantly higher and time between envenomation and death is often much shorter due to the unique and devastating nature of these dendrotoxins. Mamba victims, particularly black mamba victims, often have a very, very short time span to get to a well-equipped hospital. --Dendro†NajaTalk to me! 04:38, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter

A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Smithsonian Institution Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Oh, better far to live and die / Under the brave black flag I fly... Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Rhodesia Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.

With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!
