List of works by David Hodgson moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of works by David Hodgson, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 15:43, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Regarding rater

Hi Amitchell125, Is there any way to request change the Class of Article to B or C. For example if we take articles like this Foreign Secretary of India, the article is rated by default Stub but it's not a stub. Is there anyway that we can fix this, Thanks. - MRRaja001 (talk) 09:46, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

@MRRaja001:, it has to be done like this: go the Talk Page of an article and edit the Wikiproject information (e.g. 'WikiProject Rabbits|importance=mid|class=stub' can be changed to 'WikiProject Rabbits|importance=mid|class=B'). Above 'B' it's not so simple, see Wikipedia:Content assessment#Assessing articles for more information. Hope this helps. Amitchell125 (talk) 11:26, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Amitchell125. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of works by David Hodgson".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 16:05, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Amitchel125,

I see that you removed a blog link from the Textus Roffensis page on August 10th. I added it after a discussion on blog posts, reliability and amount of detail with Bruce1ee, as described in the change notes. Could you please read and reply why you consider it to be an unworthy addition? It was a plain-text transcription of the first few folios of Textus Roffensis that contain the Law of Æthelberht.

Thank you, HuckRightOff (talk) 14:41, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

@HuckRightOff: I'm afraid you're up against Wikipedia's policy on user-generated content, "Content from websites whose content is largely user-generated is generally unacceptable." If you are an established and published expert, then the page may be acceptable to use, but there would need to be reliable information on the page about the sources used (see WP:BLOGS for where I am coming from). Hope this helps. Amitchell125 (talk) 15:01, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy straw man

From your review of Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy @ GA review talk page: The article now has tags, as the lead section is not an adequate summary of the article; in places it is too technical and difficult to read and the prose needs to be copy edited.

@Amitchell125: thank you for your careful reading of Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and for your suggestions for improvements. This was a fun experience for me, and my little experiment on how wikipedia works and breathes. I wrote the article for who I was some 15 years ago - a grad student overwhelmed with real physics. This article is about a very narrow subfield of condensed matter physics, and I doubt it can be made any more accessible to general readers (no link?). I hope that in another 13 years (I'm referring to 2007 Talk - Suggestions for improvement someone else will give it a try. I understand that for most people this article will be incomprehensible, but then - how likely are they to end up reading the article to begin with? I am writing to complain about the straw man you put on top of the article - that big frame with a red exclamation mark. I've been removing those recently from other articles. The last one I removed was put there in 2010. I don't think they serve any purpose but to scare off people, saying that some things with the article are possibly wrong, but not saying that many are also right. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy was a stub for 13+ years; I don't think the red exclamation mark is, all of a sudden, going to attract all those many experts in the field. I am not saying everything is alright with the article, I am sure many things are not. I also don't really care how it's going to be classified. I was hoping the review would make it better, and it did. It does makes me sad that out of 23ooo articles listed at Physics only 166 are good articles. Of those, at least 50% are biographies, the rest is history of science/physics, and few high-level, mostly classical phenomena. Some say Quantum electrodynamics is a really good good article, but then: short lead? terms and concepts beyond the understanding of most readers? How about Representation theory of the Lorentz group: short lead? terms and concepts? too technical template on top? How about Dirac delta function? Antimetric electrical network? Negative resistance: formulas in the lead? too many images? Should all physics and maths articles start with "here be dragons" exclamation marks? Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy was copy-edited (more or less successfully) on my request just two months ago. That huge frame on top of the article now asks for another copy-edit. Wouldn't it be better to let the article evolve like all other wikipedia articles? Is that template really necessary? This is the only article that I've ever seen have it. I'm reading in MOS:LEADLENGTH that "the length of the lead should conform to readers' expectations of a short, but useful and complete, summary of the topic". Short. Summary. Of the topic. The topic in Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is not ARPES instrumentation (I do write about it, but it's in the article because it can't be found in published sources-especially not with all those pictures-and because it's fun to read). The topic is what ARPES can do in condensed matter physics. The lead is saying what ARPES is, and what it can do, skipping the hows. I believe this is enough. It was enough in those few other good articles above. In short, the three templates (will) serve no purpose and should not be on top of Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy or, if you ask me, any other wikipedia article (many thousands deserve it and do not have it). Regards, Ponor (talk) 05:47, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

@Ponor:I agree and sympathise with many of your comments, in particular about the dearth of good physics articles on Wikipedia. Instead of looking at other articles for comparison, I would stick to Wikipedia's advice and polices about lead sections, images, etc.. The article will be a difficult read no matter how well written it is, which makes the quality of the lead section crucially important, as it's the only part most readers will look at. The diagram at the top, the prose, the completeness, everything has to be OK.
I flagged up the article at the top to attract other experienced editors—the template causes the article to be listed elsewhere as being in need of attention. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests#Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy for a message left by me for other copy editors.
I am an editor with a physics background (see Violin acoustics, which I got to GA if you're interested, but I enjoy history more these days). I am thus able to help to address the issues highlighted at the top of the article, and I'm with you on being keen for the 'straw man' to disappear! Best wishes, Amitchell125 (talk) 12:52, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
@Amitchell125:thank you for your response. I'm sure there will be rules and policies around for every point you wish to make. MOS itself seems to have two advice (not rules) about the lead, of which you cite "(lead should be written) in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article”, the other being closer to what seemed to apply to other good articles I mentioned above: "The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic". So there are some double standards here. It would be great to have other editors attracted to my article. But they would get attracted (never happened, though) even if the templates were in the article's talk page. So I guess this ugly box will be polluting the article for many years to come; it's a punishment solely by its appearance. The article was copy-edited by the very Guild of Copy Editors editor (there are only four or five of them active, and no one specialized in STEM) just two months ago. I could try guessing what you think are the article's weak points, but without you pointing finger to the exact paragraphs and sentences, and with no feedback when I make changes, this would go forever. Without being more specific, your addition of these templates could be considered violation of a policy I found (smiley): "You should put an explanation on the talk page with comments on why you believe it is too technical, or suggestions for improvement. Templates added without explanation are likely to be either ignored or removed." (I think your explanations are just too broad, and I don't see any good examples around) Physics students would understand the lead, and they are the most likely readers of the article. How are we going to evaluate "the effort should still be made to make the article as understandable to as many as possible", is that 100, 1k or 1M readers? As for the other good articles I mentioned, do you think we should add a "too technical" template to them as well? Why this one, why not those? Don't get me wrong, I am not angry, I'm only perplexed. Best wishes, Ponor (talk) 13:54, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
@Ponor: OK, I'll get started on the article. In a month or less, I'm sure with your help (and hopefully that of others) it can be renominated. I'll 'ping' you if I need your help, etc., as your expertise is invaluable here. I'll take a look at the lead section first, with a view to getting it to GA level. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 14:06, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
Awesome, thank you! Meet you there. Ponor (talk) 07:33, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
@Ponor: The messages at the top are now gone, the copy editing is not yet finished though, so there's a message at the top of the Theory section ('Here be dragons"...) Getting there slowly. Amitchell125 (talk) 19:57, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

16 October memories + I reviewed Cem for DYK and had practically no work because you did it all, - thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:04, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks, the poor editor had to wait months before I realised all the his Albanian/Montenegrin sources could be translated online. Working on your hymn now, but also—if you're interested—I put up George Vincent (painter) a few weeks ago for peer review and there's still time to make a few comments.... Amitchell125 (talk) 20:15, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
I'll get to the painter, for PR or FAC, but am busy with a tricky FAC, Biblical criticism, and another is waiting, Honan Chapel. I began restructuring the hymn, - I want to first say what it is, then publication. Will take a while, - I silently hope nobody will look in the meantime. Please keep it watched, and revert too bold edits ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:00, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
I changed my mind due to the last reverts and comments. Could you reopen the GA1 and simply fail for instability, or whatever reason. I don't want to have anything to do with the article, and don't want to say so in the GA2 (which I asked BlueMoonset to fail, - it should not exist in my name). Things could have been so easy, compare Nun jauchzt dem Herren, alle Welt. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
@Gerda Arendt: Done. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 10:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you. Could you now also work the miracle to erase the GA2 from the history. I don't need that as "started by me" which it was not. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:07, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Regrettably, the GA1 was not failed, and the request to withdraw was not posted there, which it should have. At the very least, the GA2 page should be deleted, which Amitchell125 can do by requesting a speedy deletion of it (use the {{g7}} template, which lets the single person who created and edited it delete a page). I have adjusted the article talk page so it reflects that the failed nomination was the GA1.
I think failing for instability is a dubious proposition once the reviewer has withdrawn, as Amitchell125 did. What I recommended was that Gerda Arendt simply say she was withdrawing the nomination, which any nominator can do at any time (and should be done on the actual review page), and ask you to return and fail it, a reasonable request. Whenever a nominator withdraws a nomination once a review has begun, it is failed (per WP:GANI). BlueMoonset (talk) 16:32, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
I was not ready to withdraw because I still hoped we good arrive at a version all could agree on. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:50, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
Please, Amitchell125, word a final line in the GA1. (GA2 was deleted, which is good.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:49, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

G. S. Kirk

I've just overhauled the article of the classicist Geoffrey Kirk. It's nominated for GA status and I thought this might be up your street. You wouldn't be able to review the article, would you? Let me know what you think! Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 17:58, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Tallis

You're working on Tallis? How exciting! (I watch more or less every early music composer...) I always find Oxford biliographies is exceptionally helpful for composers. I wonder what your plans are with him? I'd love to help out – the article is in decent shape due to some attention by Waynejayes, but is still missing much information on his music, life through catholic-protestant courts and his legacy/influence (esp. impact on Byrd). I suspect that the "Liturgical calendar" and "Fictional portrayals" could be merged into a "legacy/influence" section, were it created. Aza24 (talk) 19:05, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

@Aza24: great link, many thanks. I'll do some copy editing and then start reading him up (and some of the musical ideas and terms associated with his period). I've been working on Matthew Parker recently, so the religious turmoil of the Tudors now makes more sense to me, and helps set the context for Tallis. I'll be tackling his biographical details before his music, please help out in any way you want. Amitchell125 (talk) 20:40, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Great to hear. I may take a crack at a legacy/influence section like I mentioned above, and perhaps we'll meet in the middle at the music section. Speaking of which, I suspect that separating by genre is more ideal than the current division of early vs later. Aza24 (talk) 09:36, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Article: List of Largest Empires, I found serious errors in the article.

Hello I liked the wikipedia articles, however, I found very serious errors in the article: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/List_of_largest_empires I spoke on the talk page and I was completely ignored, but the numbers are not in accordance with what is studied in college, I think that instead of looking for secondary sources of politicians, it should focus, what the documents say, written by people from the time of each empire, and of course there is a variety of old maps and land names, which say the conquests more accurately, what do you think of that? if it is not based on land conquest, what is it? The list starts off badly: "The size of the empire on this list is defined as the area of ​​dry land it controlled at the time, which may differ considerably from the area claimed. For example: in the year 1800, European powers collectively claimed about 20% of the Earth's land surface that they did not effectively control. [8] Where estimates vary, inputs are ranked by the lowest estimate. From the beginning, denying historical facts, the list meaning that all nations lied, but I read very good articles on wikipedia, but this list clearly needs a good correction, or a good justification, because it denies all the facts of the story, which diminishes the credibility of those who will read it, and then there is another one thing, they use the same source for all empires, which is even more serious, can you help or improve the list so that it becomes more reliable? Thanks. (2001:8A0:FE8F:8B00:81D0:786E:DDB7:AD26 (talk) 21:11, 8 December 2020 (UTC))
