User talk:Dank#Re: Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 9, 2016

And ... over to you. See the last four comments in that thread. Ceoil has blanked the TFA. I don't know of any other relevant information. Ceoil and I are on good terms, but he can be a joker sometimes. - Dank (push to talk) 03:18, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Miracle of Sound deleted article content?

I am preparing references for a new article on Miracle of Sound. I see that you deleted a page on the band in 2014 for notability issues. Canvassing of sources indicates to me that there is now sufficient notability for an article on the topic and I have been collecting sources for the article. Is there any way that i can have a look at the original article that was deleted to see if there is anything usable for what I am working on? I am a little unclear on how this process works with regards to material from deleted articles.  InsertCleverPhraseHere ^{InsertTalkHere}  03:23, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks!  InsertCleverPhraseHere ^{InsertTalkHere}  15:47, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Cruise (film)

Chris, this is my first major DYK review disagreement in a long time—I'm the second reviewer, and the nominator refuses to accept my striking of his favored hook. I ultimately marked the nomination with an X because of it. Edwardx was the first reviewer, and I agreed independently with his assessment; he's since bailed because it was taking too much time, so I took over. So far as I'm concerned, this review is done unless he appeals to the DYK talk page, but please let me know if you think I've made an error in judgment here. (I'd also be interested in your opinion of the QPQ situation on the nomination; while I don't like it, I don't think it's against the rules, which is what counts.) BlueMoonset (talk) 05:48, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

• I'm not keen on doing much commenting on a TTR nomination considering our past interactions. Note on the QPQ: we may not like it, but it's definitely not outside of the letter of the rules. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks for the reply. Y'know, I'd forgotten about those interactions. Sorry about that. I gather, though, that you don't think I've jumped the shark. I think we're agreed on the QPQ, then; I know Edwardx was very unhappy, but it's within the letter of the rules. BlueMoonset (talk) 08:13, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

• Right. It's technically a review of all four articles, even if the time taken for those four reviews may have been much less than a passing review would have required. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Bristol

Hi, You recently archived Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Bristol (largely on prose grounds). Bristol has since kindly been copy edited by User:Corinne (and others) on behalf of the GOCE. Do you think it is worth renominating at TFA requests or shall I just forget it?— Rod ^talk 17:31, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Rod. Before renominating, I'd suggest asking those people who voiced their objections at the previous nomination. If they are satisfied, feel free to nominate the article again at TFAR. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:30, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

TFA pageviews

Hey Crisco, just a thought for TFA pageviews in the future—the new pageview API tracks them much more accurately than stats.grok.se. The new one tracks mobile views and excludes crawlers. Most of the views on my articles are higher when I use that. I helped edit a blog post on this for work last month. :-) Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 05:26, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

• I haven't been adding any of the page view information to those pages. I saw the post and tried to use the tool, but (maybe I'm getting too old for this?) I couldn't find page views for individual articles. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:04, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

File:Jesse Jackson participating in a rally, January 15, 1975.jpg

What do you think of this? I'm a little worried after the reaction at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Martin Luther King at the March on Washington which, while admittedly turning around a bit, seems to rather show a low-level objection to what I would think were very good candid shots of notable people at a rally unless you can identify everyone near them in the crowd. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 04:10, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:18, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Gibson strikes me as over-exposed (the line between the racket and wall is non-existent). Malcolm X may have a shot, but I'm not keen on him looking up and out. Paul should be a shoo-in. Hamer's pose is a bit better than Malcolm X, but again she's looking a bit too far away from the camera. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Anyone with a dark skin tone ALWAYS seems to be overexposed in older photos. I think it's to avoid things like the G.W.Carver image that failed recently - exposed normally, detail lost in all parts in shadow. I MIGHT be able to get a tiny bit of racquet detail, but that IS a flaw. Really tempted by the Hamer image, if it's not a guaranteed failure, due to her importance; Malcolm X I'm sure I can find another for. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 01:45, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Another different drum

I nominated Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Denbies a while ago, pointy yes, because of the collaboration of an editor with female editors which he was not permitted to speak about (sort of, - absurd are the ways of Wikipedia). Could you just say the reasons for it not to be scheduled are no longer valid, or should I reopen a discussion. PumpkinSky's day today, did you know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:40, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

• I could contact SagaciousPhil and see how she's feeling, but the consensus was fairly strong there that her wishes should be respected. We still need an RFC on authors' wishes and TFAR, though. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:06, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

We ran Amazing Grace (against the editor's wishes), and I believe that it was good. The main reason to close Denbies wasn't that one author objected, it was that the other one might have been blocked, but he wasn't and hopefully won't be. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

• "Amazing Grace" ran despite Moni's objection the second time it was nominated. The first time, it was closed (by SandyGeorgia, if I'm not mistaken) it was not run. As Brian said in the original nomination, we need to have a discussion as to where the author(s)' veto rights lie, or if they have any at all. Phil still doesn't want the article to run, so I won't be scheduling the article myself in current circumstances. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:30, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Proposed TFAs 21 and 22 February

I see you are proposing Anarky for 21st and James Russell Lowell for 22nd. Although dissimilar (1990s SciFi and 19thC poet biography) they are both from our Lang & Lit stock. Any chance you could defer one of these? We are already slightly overdrawn in this category this year, and there are several literary anniversaries that might be requested next month. Brianboulton (talk) 00:34, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

• We could nix Lowell and replace him with something else. I was hoping to get one or both of these done soon, as they've been 'in the queue' for several years now. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
  • If you guys want to move this Lowell back a month or so, I have no objection. If you're saying we should cancel this one in favor of other literary TFAs, please don't. I've given two to Espresso Addict, she's done splendidly, and now both have been yanked after she put a lot of effort into them. - Dank (push to talk) 01:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
    • I've been wanting to get Anarky through because we haven't had a comics character in ages, and we did have a poet biography at the beginning of February... Brianboulton, what do you think? Lowell now and Anarky later, or vice versa? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:56, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
      • Let's do Anarky this month, defer Lowell for the time being. That would allow one or other of the anniversaries to run in March without too much literary overload. Brianboulton (talk) 10:00, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
        • Alright. Switched with a banksia. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:51, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

• • Pranalanya? Tidak ada yang menolak bahwa Sudirman biasanya disebut Jenderal Sudirman sekarang. Tapi waktu meninggal beliau belum diangkat menjadi Jenderal. Masih Letnan Jendera. Silahkan baca sumber yang sudah dikutip dalam artikel, atau 693 KM: Jejak Gerilya Sudirman. Kalau menulis sejarah, kita tidak boleh mengubah kenyataan masa lampau seenaknya.

Pada tahun 1910, Indonesia masih dinamakan Hindia Belanda; tidak boleh kita sebut Indonesia, karena Indonesia sebagai negara belum terdiri pada tahun itu. Sudirman belum menjadi Jenderal sampai tahun 1950; karena itu, pangkatnya tidak boleh disebut "Jenderal" kalau kita sedang membahas periode 1940-an. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:15, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• on 18 desember 1945, soekarno mengangkat kolonel sudirman menjadi panglima besar TKR dengan pangkat Jenderal, kemudian Pangkat Sudirman pernah diturunkan menjadi letnan jenderal pada masa Kabinet Amir Sjarifuddin (1948) karena penolakannya terhadap program reorganisasi dan rasionalisasi (rera) di dalam tubuh TNI.

you know better than me... semua referensi berkata seperti ini — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.254.51.51 (talk) 06:08, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• Betul, pangkatnya diturunkan. Waktu meninggal masih berpangkat Let. Jen. Saya sedang memindai buku Kenang-Kenangan Pada Panglima Besar Letnan Djenderal Sudirman, yang memuatkan pengumuman kematian beliau yang tertulis "Let. Jen. Sudirman". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 06:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• maaf, berarti anda kurang lengkap menulis kepangkatan Sudirman.

"daidanco" masa pendudukan jepang. "jenderal" sewaktu menjadi panglima Besar TKR. "letjen" diturunkan karena penolakan terhadap RERA. Sewaktu meninggal Diangkat menjadi "Jenderal" sebagai penghormatan pada masa perang kemerdekaan. "jenderal besar" th.1997 penghormatan atas jasa2 sudirman pada republik indonesia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.254.51.51 (talk) 06:50, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• Memang field itu tidak dimaksud untuk menceritakan riwayat lengkap pangkatnya. Yang dimasukkan ke field tersebut adalah pangkat terakhir. Dalam kasus Sudirman, pangkat dia terakhir saat meninggal ialah Let Jen. Silahkan bandingkan Douglas MacArthur, yang hanya mencantumkan "General of the Army" dan "Field Marshal" (karena MacArthur punya dua pangkat bersamaan). Saudara-lah yang tidak mengerti fungsi dari infobox itu. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:29, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

• anda benar!

tetapi menurut saya, info box itu menunjukkan pangkat "terakhir", berarti tidak ada hubungan pangkat sewaktu sudirman "meninggal". karena pada waktu matinya, sudirman diangkat menjadi jenderal, yang berarti pangkat "terakhir" sudirman adalah jenderal. pangkat kehormatan sudirman adalah "panglima/jenderal besar (grand general)" yang merupakan pemberian bangsa indonesia pada waktu itu. berbeda dengan pangkat amerika walaupun kedudukannya sama. Secara aktual, sudirman berpangkat "terakhir" Jenderal (diangkat menjadi jenderal sewaktu kematian sudirman th.1950).

• Memang pangkat terakhir itu pangkat sewaktu mati? Please deh. Silahkan saudara lebih banyak membaca mengenai cara penulisan historiografi. Lagi pula, dalam infobox sudah ditulis "pada waktu meninggal" untuk pangkat Let Jen. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:06, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
• maka dari itu.. berarti info box menunjukkan pangkat "terakhir", bukan pangkat sewaktu "mati..", bukankah begitu? ...

Bila info box untuk kronologis pangkat, anda harus menulis lengkap kronologi nya. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.254.51.51 (talk) 09:00, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

WT:DYK#Chestnut cake in Queue 2

Picture of the day stuff

I was looking for someone to guide me through the Pic of the Day process, and was pleased to see you seem to be the man (or woman, I suppose). Hi!

I don't have the image yet, but I wanted to ask some questions while I'm waiting. How long does the process of becoming a Featured Pic take, usually? After that, is there a separate approval for going on Pic of the Day, or is that just a matter of picking a date? And is it possible to tentatively reserve a certain date while the nom process moves along? Also, is the "day" 12AM to 11:59PM UTC? EEng 18:39, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

• Hi User:EEng, to answer your questions:

1. The FPC process takes 9 days from start to finish. It's the only featured process that follows a fixed schedule.
2. The current queuing time for newly promoted FPs is about a year and a half. Generally it works on a first in, first out basis, but there are exceptions, for instance if someone requests a specific date, or if there's a holiday which can be celebrated with a specific image.
3. We have reserved dates tentatively, but only if said date is not during the nominated image's featured picture candidacy.
4. Yes, the definition of "day" follows that of the rest of the MP. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:31, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! As soon as I know the specific date (sometime this June) I'll let you know, and I should have the image in maybe 4-6 weeks, giving plenty of time for the Featured process. EEng 02:45, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Pixies

I'd be happy to spend time making it longer, if there was an appetite for using it. --Dweller (talk) 11:15, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

• I do like it. If you've got it up to 1100 + characters, it can be nominated for April 1st at TFAR (but with leaving the Hitler Diaries up, so both choices can be discussed). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:27, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

How's this:

Pixies are "mischievous little elves" who picked their name from a dictionary. They were first created in a garage in 1986, although they are not known for garage, garage or garage. Pixies did not officially exist after 1993, due to arguments, although one Pixie did become a magician. Despite their death in 1997, Pixies revived in 2004, first re-emerging in Brixton, London. Having originated in America, Pixies are much more popular in Europe, although they have struck Pixie gold in the USA. The leader of the Pixies is called Black Francis although he has also been called Frank and Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV. Other Pixie names are Joey, and David, Paz, Kim and... Kim. One of the Kims has an identical twin, but she refused to become a Pixie. Their idea of a joke is putting things in alphabetical order, but an angry Pixie once threw a guitar at another and one former Pixie once made a hit with a cannonball. In their early days, they were often seen in bars and were known to be "either sweaty or laid back and cool". They like to sing about extraterrestrials, surrealism, incest, and biblical violence.

I think there is an element of panic in pushing the Pixies nom, as it's not a terribly good article. It's a 2006 promotion that may have been given a 2011 brush up, but it's poor. Dead links, unsupported statements, prose issues, single sentence paras, etc. This really would be embarrassing to run. I get that some people have had a knee-jerk reaction against the diaries, but that doesn't mean we should grab onto something that isn't very good as an alternative. Dweller, I know you have done this in good faith, but you do need to look at the content of the articles, not just the possibility of a "humorous" blurb. – SchroCat (talk) 18:06, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

I'll happily fix any issues pointed out. --Dweller (talk) 21:03, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

They should all have been fixed before any nomination took place. I've pointed out some of the issues I've seen over a very quick skim, but I'm sure that more can be dug up with a proper proof read. The blurb could be written in something understandable too: I'm never a fan of this sort of write up, which will irritate more than it "amuses". – SchroCat (talk) 21:24, 24 February 2016 (UTC).

Astroscope and similar Transformers merges/redirects

There seems series of mergers going on in Transformers article done by people who know nothing about the characters. For example you merged the article Astroscope to [[List of The Transformers characters] by their request. "The Transformers" is a cartoon that ran from 1984-1988, and that list is for characters who appeared in that show. Astroscope was a character from the 2002 cartoon Transformers: Armada. I changed the redirect to point to the right show's character list. I wouldn't mention it normally, but people have been proposing similar mergers for lots of Transformers characters, and being ignorant of the series, they are merging characters from one series on list of characters from the wrong show. If anyone has any questions where they don't know where to properly merge a Transformers character to the right show, please let me know. I'll point it in the right direction. I do prefer the mergers over deletions, but they should redirect to the PROPER show. ThanksMathewignash (talk) 01:23, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, but how does this involve me? Are you asking for help with the issue, or... I don't recall ever editing a Transformers article. Heck, I haven't even seen any of the media from start to finish. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:29, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
  • The article Astroscope says it is you who merged it to the wrong page. So I am offering to help direct you to the right page if you don't know where one should go.Mathewignash (talk) 13:45, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
    • As you can clearly see in my edit summary, the close was based on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Astroscope, where that was the target for which we had consensus. Nobody brought up the Armada article in the discussion, and so nobody suggested directing the article there. You can also see that discussion was over three years ago; if there is a current trend (as suggested by your use of the present progressive tense), that was not part of it. If there was a trend three years ago, I doubt there's much value bringing it up now when fixing the issues can be done relatively painlessly.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:13, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

If you have a spare moment...

I'm in template hell. Infoboxes look so innocent on the surface, until you try and create the template for a new one... This is my "creation", with some testing going on here. I initially loaded the usage and attributes into the template but quickly realized that wasn't going to work. Now I understand why template editing is a permission of its own... If this is not your area, I would gladly take a referral elsewhere.--Godot13 (talk) 03:18, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Image query

Have you a moment to look at the licencing for File:A half-demolished Nelsons Pillar on OConnell Street, Dublin.jpg? I am very dubious about this being in the public domain. It is an important image for the article (Nelson's Pillar) in which I want to use it - would a fair use rationale be appropriate here? Brianboulton (talk) 17:12, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

• Based on this, I'd assume that they've already vetted it (perhaps purchased the copyright). Don't know how it could be out of copyright otherwise. Might be worth an inquiry if you're interested in following up on this. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:38, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks, this looks more promising. I'll shortly be taking the article to FAC, so perhaps I'll wait to see if the image is questioned there. Brianboulton (talk) 22:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Bodybuilding in China

Chris, can you please take a look at the image for this nomination to see whether it is properly licensed for the front page? There is a license explaining that it is public domain in China, but not one for the U.S.; I don't know the rules for such images. If it isn't, then please do whatever's necessary. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:11, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• Replied there. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:38, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks. I take it from your comment, then, that the other image in the article, from the 1934 publication, might be okay as it would have expired in 1984, before the 1996 URAA kicked in. Unless, of course, it isn't covered by the image rules at all because it's a page from a publication that it illustrates, and might then be under rules for books, manuals, magazines, etc., in which case we may be talking life of author plus 70. If so, there's going to be a long wait; according to a book I just found, Zhao Zhuguang was still active in Chinese bodybuilding in 1988, at the age of 81. Even if it's life of author plus 50, that's still 2038 at the very earliest. (This info from an academic press book published in 1995.) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:19, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

— Cirt (talk) 00:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• The other two TFA coordinators have historically had issues with "parking" articles like that. I do it for POTD, but we have agreed to not do it for TFA. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:18, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Don't we always have lots of media articles? I'm just concerned it might get put off a 2nd time. What else can be done? — Cirt (talk) 00:19, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
    • The nominated article still fell within the "media" section of FA. There were four others in the month before your proposed date – Aquaman (April 7), Tank Girl (March 31), Uncle David (March 25), and Eraserhead (March 19). Last year the allocated number of TFAs for "Media" was 33; we're heading towards that number rather quickly right now. I'm expecting to not schedule another one until the very end of this month.

As for what happens in November: at this rate, comes November we'll only be scheduling media articles when nominated. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

I hope I'm still healthy and around Wikipedia and remember at that point in time. In the meantime, it seems like there's multiple war-related and battle-type articles for April, and also Cricket types of articles in April. It seems like we haven't had an Internet-culture related articles in a while, and actually there's a relative dearth of those among Featured Articles on Wikipedia. It's a shame there wasn't an allowance for discussion with more than two (2) users on Wikipedia before it was marked as unsuccessful. I wish there was more that can be done so that your comment about 6 November 2016 can come to fruition ? — Cirt (talk) 00:33, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Remember, there are numerous warfare articles that haven't run, and last year milhist articles were allocated 67 (or 5 1/2 a month). Cricket is the most represented sports subject, hence why there have been four articles on this subject this year. TFA has to be proportional. We have three FAs on insects, for instance; we shouldn't schedule them all in a month or two. Other media articles have been affected as well; I've been wanting to schedule Quatermass and the Pit, the oldest FA to not yet run on the main page, for a while, but owing to the numerous media articles that have already run I've kept pushing it back.

As for the limited time for discussion: I was actually planning on scheduling up to April 16th last night (I generally schedule four articles at a time, every three or four days), but didn't have the time. In general, nominating something for a date which will be scheduled in the next batch (i.e. 4 or 5 days from the earliest date listed in "Currently accepting requests from...") allows very little time for discussion. Especially when, like in this situation, the articles are scheduled less than an hour after a nomination is made. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:22, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Ah okay, thank you for that elucidating explanation ! Just curious, do you have a link to the discussion with the other two TFA coordinators about longer-term scheduling, and the reasons why it would be contraindicated pros versus cons ? — Cirt (talk) 01:25, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• I think it was by email, but you can ask User:Brianboulton and User:Dank yourself — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:29, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• I'm just wondering if we can add it there as a placeholder in this case, as it was unsuccessful in the first nomination, and it's high quality. I'm scratching my head trying to see the harm that would be done in this case by doing so ? — Cirt (talk) 01:31, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Ah, there it is. It wasn't an in-depth discussion, but sufficient for me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:35, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Ah I see, yeah not really an in-depth discussion. Especially since you yourself suggested this one for 6 November, I'm wondering what's the harm in placing it there now? — Cirt (talk) 01:37, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• As I said, there was sufficient discussion there for the TFA coordinators to agree to not schedule things too far ahead. The main difference between POTD and TFA is TFA has a formal process for nominating articles, whereas POTD lets anyone add an image (so long as it meets the criteria). Since TFA has a formal process like that, it's entirely possible that someone may want to nominate the same article for an earlier date, or have another article that they might want to nominate/run on a date already booked far in advance. Thus, not scheduling too far ahead helps avoid conflicts. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Ah I guess it was just a bit disappointing after I'd added it to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/pending back in 25 February 2016. I suppose perhaps I should have just nominated it then at that time. Of course it's a tad bit frustrating but I hope your recommendation for 6 November 2016 will indeed get borne out in the end. :) — Cirt (talk) 03:43, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Although I don't think it's right to accept bookings for TFA dates months in advance (for the various reasons Chris has described) I would have no objection to a "date requested" note being inserted into the date in question. This would not automatically give precedence to this request, but it should ensure that it is not overlooked, as unfortunately does happen with the "pending" page. Brianboulton (talk) 12:03, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Alright, Brianboulton, that sounds reasonable, thank you! — Cirt (talk) 12:04, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Nelson Pillar stump image

Although I await the NLI's reply, after informal discussions with a copyright lawyer this weekend I am pretty certain that NLI will not go further than their "no known restrictions" disclaimer. If the image is to be retained, fair use seems a better prospect. I'm getting a little concerned about time; 24 April is the target TFA date but you will want to schedule well before then. The FAC is well supported (7 supports, 0 opposes), but promotion could be withheld if there is prolonged delay/discussion over the status of this image. The choices seem to be (a) withdraw the image temporarily with a view to restoring it when its copyright status is clear, or (b) go for a fair use justification without waiting for the NLI. What would you advise? Brianboulton (talk) 12:03, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• Fair use, definitely. That strikes me as an important image. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:06, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

• I've uploaded a fair use version to Wikipedia, and that's what's in the article now. Perhaps you'd comment at the FAC? Brianboulton (talk) 15:21, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

• Perhaps I'll catch the next one. I suspect you're at the point where fewer comments means quicker promotion (and quicker scheduling). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:27, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Italics and references

Hi Chris; I just had a look at Poesaka Terpendam and it reminded me of something I came across a few weeks ago while reviewing Hetty Reckless: it seems that {{sfn}} supports italics. This probably means that, per the MOS, we should be italicising when appropriate (newspaper names, for example). Do you know of any reason I'm wrong, here? Josh Milburn (talk) 16:46, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

• No, you're right. It used to be that we had to add .21.21 for double single quotes (i.e. italics), but that's changed. I haven't had much of a chance to do that in older articles. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:28, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Regarding limpets...

From the Featured Picture criteria page: "If necessary, decisions about close candidacies will be made on a case-by-case basis." My poor ol' limpet had votes of support from you, a comment followed by no vote either way by user:Mattximus (after I responded hopefully to his comment at some length), a support vote from Adam, a comment from an IP user which I also addressed at length and changed the image accordingly but in the end got no support from (not that IPs are supposed to count for this purpose, but anyway...), and a support vote from user:Jobas. Since the nominator's support gets included in the two-thirds majority necessary for establishing "consensus" on the image, I assume that same vote gets counted in establishing the five votes needed to qualify as an FP. The image had no oppose votes at all. If either Mattximus or the IP user has made it back around to vote in support, the image would have passed. I get the feeling that people hesitate to votie on diagrams, which then put the image a handicap— and now I am here "wikilawyering" a reason for my image to have actually, technically, maybe made the cut. I do not think it is less complex or aesthetic than any other image I've ever submitted, and having it fail has really thrown on the cold water. Not that I think I am so great that nothing I submit for FP consideration should ever fail to pass, and not that all of the others I've made haven't qualified on their own terms. Maybe I should just get used to not having my work qualify. But my God, if I could only tell the world how much time I invested in this picture! It's kind of embarrassing, really. My guess is a couple hundred hours of work. But if people don't understand that, then they... just move on... to things they DO understand (like composition, focus, saturation, contrast, and exposure— things which don't count on SVGs). I assume there is no court of appeals here. Also, I hate the thought of being granted an exception on what others must have decided wasn't "qualifying" work. But here I am anyway. I was about to return to working on my scaphopod diagram and get it up here for consideration, but mustering the chutzpa to do so has faded almost entirely. Please let me know your thoughts, Chris. Okay? Thanks! KDS4444^Talk 07:53, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

• I think you're overthinking this. FPC is quite slow right now (Adam's complained about it as well, a bit higher up). Try nominating, without any further revisions, in a couple weeks. If FPC has picked up a bit, it should pass without a hitch. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:06, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Opinion...

I know you're insanely busy, there is no rush on this at all...

I wondered if you could have a quick look at Cecil Brown (Hawaii politician), my first GA, to see if you think it could be developed into a FA (never done one).

Not asking for a formal PR, just your initial thoughts on a single read-through...--Godot13 (talk) 21:46, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

• A quick lookover: there's the potential for development, but the organization still needs work (FAs generally don't have that many single-paragraph sections) and the referencing has issues (a lot of refs are not used in-text, and the Hawaiian constitution citation doesn't point anywhere) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:38, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, would you mind taking a look at the ALT on this DYK nomination that you reviewed? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 17:09, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Time for the toons...

Hi Chris, I have recently been working on Walt Disney, which is now up for PR. Would you have time to take a spin over the images? No problems is you're too busy with all the other stuff,on your plate. Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 21:32, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

• I'll try when I've got the time. Have you asked Curly Turkey to have a look? Animation is usually right up his field. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:46, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
  • I've actually been doing some copyediting on the article already. I don't know if I'd have much to say about the images, but I'll be leaving some comments about extra context I'd like to see. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 01:20, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
    • That's what I was thinking as well, for you. You know much more about early animation than any other editor here, so if context is missing I'm sure you'll know it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:28, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review Chris. I'll make a start on these today. It always surprises me just how many images sourced from Commons shouldn't actually be there at the ened of the day! Thanks for the tweaks CT, and I'll be happy to see your comments over the context. I've tried to focus entirely on the individual with little else, but I appreciate that there needs to be a very small amount of background in there too.

Question

Hello. Since you're one of the TFA coordinators I figured I'd ask. I just got Gudovac massacre promoted to FA and was originally hoping I could get it to TFA for the 75th anniversary of the event. Unfortunately, the article was only promoted the day after, so I missed the anniversary. However, there is another important anniversary coming up — May 8th, the 71st anniversary of the anti-fascist victory in Europe. I believe the massacre article would be a fitting nod to this very important anniversary. The only problem is that the May 8th spot is currently taken by Music for a Time of War (which is a beautiful article and I'm sure the person who wrote it spent a lot of time and energy to get it to where it is). I was hoping Music for a Time of War could be pushed back to May 7th (since this would coincide with the 5th anniversary that it is marking) and Gudovac massacre put up for May 8th. I apologize for notifying you on such short notice, but unfortunately the FAC process was not moving along as speedily as I had hoped. I'm aware this can potentially mess up part of the schedule, but I'm hoping the TFA coordinators can be flexible and figure something out if that is the case. Best, 23 editor (talk) 16:01, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

• User:Brianboulton is presently in charge of scheduling for May. He may be willing to schedule, though I would not get my hopes up: we do our best to have the schedule fixed at least two weeks ahead of time, so that the articles' main contributors have time to clean up the articles in case they have deteriorated since promotion. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:26, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

• I sympathise with the fact that the timing of the promotion scuppered the plan for TFA on 28 April. But I don't think that May 8, VE Day, would be suitably marked by an article recording a massacre by a group of Croation fascists; the choice of Music for a Time of War for this date was deliberate, and is surely more appropriate. So regretfully, I don't think I can help. Brianboulton (talk) 17:23, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Brianboulton No worries, there will be other anniversaries. Cheers, 23 editor (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

A small favour

Hi, its been a while as I'm not on much these days, but I've a favour to ask. I came across an article and began editing in a fit of disgust! I'm pretty sure that File:Abdevillierspressconference.png is a screen capture from a TV broadcast and therefore blatantly not free. But its from Commons, and I haven't the patience to try and navigate that place. I presume you are still the image guy, so I wondered if you could do something appropriate? (It can't be the uploader's picture as he/she would have had to be in front of the TV cameras taking it from the playing field) Thanks. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:57, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, at 12,191 words of readable prose, it exceeds the guidance limit of ten thousand.

Globalism

Below discussion is related to the following post: Is there a policy/consensus that you can show me which indicates "globally notable" is the criterion for inclusion, and not "The births and deaths listed on this page are only for people for whom there is a Wikipedia article (no red links and no redirects). Please do not add yourself (unless there is a Wikipedia article about you), or anyone without a Wikipedia article. Any entry added for anyone without an article will be deleted." as listed in the edit window? If there is such a criterion, it strikes me as entirely subjective. What metric could be used for saying, for instance, that an Indonesian actor with over seventy film credits and a forty-year career is less "globally notable" than a Filipina actress with a ten-year career and barely a dozen film and television appearances, especially when both of them were/have been only active in their home countries? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:06, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

See this page. You are, of course, free to restore anything you deem to to have been unjustifiably removed. Subjectivity and error are unavoidable given the construct within which we are working, although I always try to edit rationally, reasonably and fairly. Yours, Quis separabit? 15:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

• User:Rms125a@hotmail.com, that is a non-answer. My question was regarding your revert and its basis in policy, or at least consensus. Do you, or do you not, have any policy or consensus that you can link to for reverts such as this, this, this, this? It's a simple question, with simple follow-up: If yes, please provide the link(s) to the policy or consensus in question. If no, please revert yourself in these edits and in all others where you implement your own standards, rather than follow those established by consensus.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:18, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Christopher: That is the only answer I can provide. I have been following, to the best of my ability, the examples set by Deb and others, which I wonder if you have reviewed, who have been working on the globalism project. I am not going to revert innumerable past edits on this point which were made in good faith. Which edits are "those established by consensus", by the way? The main rule of thumb is whether the article has 10 pages in the languages link, which is the criterion I use. Please show me which article deletions from the DOTY I made which have/had 10 pages in the languages link. Quis separabit? 15:35, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Dengan amal dan kehati-hatian -- don't try to intimidate me. I am not Hester Prynne. Quis separabit? 15:43, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

• "The main rule of thumb" - Is that based on a consensus, or is that your rule of thumb? Last I checked, Wikipedia:Days of the year does not say "10 pages in the languages link", and the (stalled) discussion at the talk page was never able to reach a consensus regarding how to limit entries. When Deb did mention it, User:Kendrick7 immediately came back with his concerns that such a standard would disadvantage non-Europeans.

What's worse, a person with a particularly inventive agent could easily spam ten Wikipedias with articles. Spanish, English, Simple English, and Tagalog would be within reach for a Filipino editor. If quality were sacrificed, anyone with Google translate has access to thirty-odd languages (you make my point with your use of Indonesian). Interlanguage links are no measure of notability.

What edits established by consensus? "Those" clearly referred to "standards" established by consensus, i.e. Wikipedia:Days of the year.

The edit you mention was self-reverted as soon as I saw that the terms of probation had an explicit expiry date. If I'd been planning to intimidate you, why would I revert?

Do you or do you not have any policy or consensus that you can link to for reverts like those listed? Please stop sidestepping the question. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:55, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

As for the question "Please show me which article deletions from the DOTY I made which have/had 10 pages in the languages link,": interlanguage links do not preserve in the history now that we use Wikidata, and so what I see will not reflect what you saw. Interlanguage articles may have been deleted in the intervening time, or they may have been written in the intervening time. I do note with interest that one of your additions, Rahul Verma (social activist), has no interwiki links at the present time. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:01, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

And as I must have missed your point in (re)reading the Counter systemic bias project page, please quote whichever passage you consider relevant to my original concerns. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:03, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Christopher -- just got back onwiki. Was out of the house. I am positive I did not add Rahul Verma (social activist) to any list -- do you mean I didn't remove him from a particular DOTY list? Maybe I corrected a mistake or misalphabetisation but I am positive I did not add him as I have never heard of him. Anyway I have nothing more to say. I've said all I can say. You do what you want. If @Deb deems that I should desist I will, of course, comply. Quis separabit? 01:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• I have stricken the part about Rahul; after double checking again, while not sleep deprived, it was added by another editor in between three of your edits. My apologies.

I directly asked you several questions, and you have avoided answering them. I fail to see how you can say "I've said all I can say" when my request for you to "quote whichever passage (of Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias) you consider relevant to my original concerns" has not even been acknowledge. If you can't provide a passage, or at least indicate it, say so. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:41, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Let's not get all crotchety over this. Chris, assuming you want the same as Quis separabit? and I want, which is to improve the year articles by making the births and deaths more representative (as the events already are), then maybe you could help us by coming up with some better criteria. You'll see that I was concerned, right from the start, about the possibilities of spamming. But at the moment we have a number of individuals who are keen to fill up every year article with people from their own country or who represent their personal interests - for example, every rugby league player they can think of. Alternative approaches have been suggested, but all have their drawbacks. That doesn't mean we have to just accept the present situation, does it? Deb (talk) 17:29, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

• Deb, I'm generally not the kind to support "special notability criteria" for certain areas or processes (I've just recently argued against it at FPC) but if there is a consensus that something needs to be done about DOTY, I think it needs to be a bit more refined than "ten interwiki links". Owing to specific biases among Wikipedia editors of different countries, a Korean singer who is a member of a relatively successful band (but has no solo career to speak of) may have more interwiki links than, say, a singer-songwriter with a career spanning six decades and numerous national hits. The inclusion of redlinks in an article should likewise not be a consideration. Owing to systemic bias, a lot of significant topics from various countries are still lacking articles. For Indonesian cinema, for instance, Tiga Dara, Titian Serambut Dibelah Tujuh, and Kejarlah Daku Kau Kutangkap are still redlinks, despite their cultural impact within Indonesia, commercial success, and/or their numerous awards and nominations.

If I were to write criteria to "narrow the field", so to speak, I would definitely find something more refined. Specific criteria for people in specific fields. For actor or actresses, it could be something like (and yes, this is still rough):

1. Has won one or more national or international awards for acting (with examples, if necessary)
2. Has appeared in more than X feature films and/or played a recurring character in more than Y television series
3. Has had a career which spanned more than X years, with more than Y film appearances

Obviously these ideas are a bit less strict than some would like, but that's deliberate; it's a lot easier to cast our net wide, but with objective criteria, then to limit ourselves to X many individuals and then have to choose between (say) Linda McCartney and Doris Roberts.

It might also useful to revisit having articles on specific dates in specific years (i.e. April 26, 1993, or May 11, 2016) for more recent years, to avoid overwhelming the main DOTY pages. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:00, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• Another criteria could be "had a direct and significant involvement in the production of a film recognized by multiple reliable sources as having a significant impact on national or international cinema" — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:57, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

These are all good suggestions as far as I'm concerned and I would certainly support them.Deb (talk) 10:56, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• I'll try and see if we can reignite the discussion on the DOTY talk page. Not right now, though. Hopefully this weekend, after I get back from Surakarta. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:48, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Wow, have a nice time! Deb (talk) 13:53, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

@Christopher, I also second that emotion. Bersenang-senang di Surakarta. Apakah Anda tinggal di Indonesia? Quis separabit? 00:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, just FYI if you and @Deb read this entire section of a thread at the DOTY talk page and the following comment right here perhaps this will qualify as a "passage" or at least a guide: note that I am not a "Johnny Come Lately" making edits willy nilly. I made a list last month (FOOs) of articles that IMO could be trimmed from the DPTY and no one dissented and everyone seemed to agree, at least in large part and principle. That is probably not official consensus in your eyes but it does show good will and an apparent general synchronicity among those who elected to contribute to the discussion. Quis separabit? 00:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

• Yes, I'm based out of Yogyakarta, which is why I'm able to get a wide variety of sources on Indonesia that are otherwise difficult (or impossible) to find. The Apa Siapa books, for instance, only had localised distribution, yet they are some of the most useful sources we can find for pre-internet Indonesian film figures. I've got a few magazines contemporaneous to the people I write about, but coverage is spotty (the same holds true for the collection at Sinematek Indonesia).

The link to the discussion at WT:DOTY would have been a much better initial link than the one to Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias, yes. That page makes it clear that there is a consensus to enforce the nebulous "specific criteria" mentioned at WP:DOTY, and that there have been multiple suggestions as to how these criteria can be formulated (though everyone can agree "we need to concretise these specific criteria"). We can hopefully hammer out a solution after restarting discussion. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:17, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad. Have a good time and be careful. I know you are in Java but I just had to recount that when I was really young I would see Sumatra on the map and think it was the biggest island in the world. It's not, of course, even Papua/New Guinea is bigger but doesn't look like it. Yours. Quis separabit? 03:21, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

POTD help

Hello there. I didn't realize until recently how much work you do on Featured Pic and POTD, in addition to DYK -- wow. Your opinion please... If an appropriately high-res version of File:Phineas_Gage_Cased_Daguerreotype_WilgusPhoto2008-12-19_Unretouched_Color.jpg were uploaded, what do you think its prospects are for becoming a Featured Pic (maybe with adjustment, as in File:Phineas_Gage_Cased_Daguerreotype_WilgusPhoto2008-12-19_Unretouched_Color_ToneCorrected.jpg)?

Assuming that seems feasible, what's the latest the nom could be made in order for it to appear as POTD on June 22, to synchronize with an event still being planned (or a little before, if that date is taken when the time comes)? Any guidance, and help shepherding the nom when the time comes, will be appreciated. EEng 11:19, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• Hi User:EEng, I think (with a bit more space around the frame, and maybe with some touch-up like what Adam Cuerden does) it would be okay. A FPC nomination takes ten days, and I generally schedule POTD at least two weeks before the image runs (but POTD's much more flexible). I'd probably want the image to be done at FPC by 15 or 16 June, to schedule it for 22 June (leave a bit of time for people to check the blurb, if need be). So you'd want to nominate by 5 June. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:52, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Great! That gives more time than I expected, but I'll try to light a fire under the source to get it sooner -- and it might not even happen. As far as composition, I think the key is to have a more neutral background behind the frame (technically called a "mat" for this kind of artifact -- a daguerreotype) so it doesn't have to be cropped so close to avoid that unsightly black background. EEng 13:16, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

As I said, very flexible :). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:55, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

• Continuing in the "very flexible" vein... reviewing the Featured Pic criteria I see now the emphasis on 1500 px being the minimum, with larger sizes "generally preferred". The owner is new to free licensing and so on. When I first suggested this whole thing I simply said 1500 px wide x whatever tall (it being portrait-oriented), and I'd rather not now say that we need to go bigger. Do you think if it's just 1500 wide that will be a problem? EEng 12:15, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
  • That depends on the voters. I couldn't guess either way. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:43, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, is there a more usual size? Since this is an historic image I'm not sure a larger size makes any difference anyway. EEng 09:55, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

• Double checking: 1500 wide would be about 1700 tall. That would meet the minimum criteria. For a restoration, however... a bit small. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:10, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

I should have been clearer I meant 1500 in the smaller dimension, thus as you say more in the bigger dimension. Personally I'm not sanguine about retouching historic images (except perhaps tone correction etc.) but anyway that's downstream after we get the original. Thanks again for your help.

FPC question

Hi Chris, does this [3] have a chance at FPC, used here [4]. I can remove the scratches. Meta data says jpeg quality is 85. FYI, source link [5]. Bammesk (talk) 22:52, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

• From a purely technical quality, there's not much against the file. A few from this source have been successful at FPC (Mochtar Lubis, Abdul Haris Nasution, etc.). It would need some flyspecking (the dust spots and whatnot cleaned up), of course. Now, from a photographic perspective... the lighting is rather harsh, and the pose somewhat twisted. Not sure that'll fly at FPC. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:30, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

• I see what you mean, thanks, I might give it a shot (it's easy to clean)..... an unposed snap shot... I prefer the uncropped original [6]. Bammesk (talk) 23:59, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Iraq and weapons of mass destruction#Merge proposal: Operation Avarice into Iraq and weapons of mass destruction

Chris, the oldest DYK nomination, Template:Did you know nominations/Operation Avarice (which dates back to February 17), is currently hung up on a merger discussion that has been open for two months, with the most recent comment posted on April 19. I was hoping that you could take a look at the discussion and then close it, so the nomination can proceed one way or the other; it would be very helpful. Based on the response I just got from a request for help from an admin (which took eight days), this could be hanging for many weeks to come unless someone's willing to take on the closure. Thank you very much for your consideration. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:40, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

TFA

Done to 31 May. By agreement with the nominator I scheduled Half-Life 2: Episode One for 31 May, to leave 1 June free for Marilyn Monroe 90th anniversary. The Marilyn article hasn't been nominated but I believe we should run it. So, happy scheduling; we're still light on Media, and Lit/Theatre should be avoided if possible. Otherwise we're pretty well balanced. Good luck! Brianboulton (talk) 20:36, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Norodom Sihanouk

Hi Chris, I have nominated the above article for FAC, a biographical article about a late Cambodian monarch and Cold War figure. I have received feedback from the FAC which I need help on the prose. I have done several rounds of proofreading and CE on my part, and right now I think a second pair of eyes would be helpful for this. I welcome you to take a look at the article, and feel free to give any comments on the prose, content etc - on any areas that may need improvement from your perspective. (The FAC page is at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Norodom Sihanouk/archive1) Pleased do not feel obliged if you are unable to do so, though it would be great if I can hear from you soon about this.

TFA

Hi Chris, I didn't realise when you were inspecting that image that the article was going to be scheduled for TFA. This isn't one that I'd particularity like to go with, I have others listed here that I think would be more appropriate, for various reasons (Pentland or Phillips especially as we're in the middle of the centenary of WWI) -- would you consider one of them instead? I was also curious about the date chosen since it's only a couple of weeks after another RAAF pilot (today's TFA in fact, Bill Brill) but not so fussed about that if you aren't. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 01:21, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Ian Rose, I was thinking of having it tied in with his birthday. I didn't mind the relatively short gap, as we still have a fairly large number of featured articles on RAAF pilots. We can do Pentland in August, if you want. I don't find the article itself problematic, definitely nothing like the two album articles I had my eye on for June 2nd. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:40, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Is International recognition of Kosovo a list or an article?

Chris, since you're one of the folks who run FLC, I figured you'd know a list when you saw one.

At the moment, Talk:International recognition of Kosovo/GA1 is an ongoing (and very delayed) Good Article nomination. When I took a good look at the article, it struck me that although it has more non-lead material than a typical list, the vast majority of its material is in lists/tables, and it should perhaps be considered to be a list rather than an article, in which case it should probably be at FLC rather than GAN.

Can you please let me know what you think? Since the GAN seems to be stalled for no particularly good reason, before I try to get it moving again, I'd like to get a knowledgeable opinion as to what it is, since "moving" might involve a closure of the GAN and the opening of an FLC, rather than an ultimate listing as a GA. Thank you for your help. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:05, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• BlueMoonset, I'd classify it as a list. It sort of resembles Description of the Western Isles of Scotland in terms of article construction. I'd recommend that the author work on better summaries of those countries with "main" templates, however. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:34, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks for the advice. I've just linked to it from the review page, which (because it is a list) I've recommended be closed, with a suggestion to check here for what would need to be done before any follow-up nomination for FLC. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:42, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

DYK prep 6 needs promoting right away

Chris, prep 6 needs to be promoted to queue 6 right away, if you get online in the next few minutes. (Maile has done promotions into Queues 1 and 2, but had been the one to build prep 6 initially.) Thanks for anything you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:50, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, just as I was writing that, Maile ended up taking care of it: we're all set there. So, as long as I have you here, can I ask you to please take a look at Template:Did you know nominations/Sam Pepper? Both Gatoclass and Vanamonde93 have expressed reservations as to whether this article should ever be featured on the main page. If you concur, perhaps it's time to close it.

Evans

Hi Chris, sorry I didn't follow up sooner on your initial response but the last week or two have been pretty busy. To explain further why I think we should defer Evans, some new info has come my way that I think is pretty important but I want to verify it from another source, as there may be BLP issues around it, and I doubt that I'll get that sorted out before 3 June. If it's to be on the main page I think it should be as comprehensive as possible and I'm not necessarily happy with that side of it as is. Also, not that it's as important of course, deferring might permit me to source a decent free image as well. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 06:55, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Bangladesh

Hello, Chris -- If you have time, could you take a look at the Bangladesh article? What do you think of the placement of images? I see some that are on the same level with the text squeezed in between. I thought I had heard once that it was inadvisable to have a section begin with an image on the left. Is that correct? I know you're an expert on this, so I thought I'd ask you.  – Corinne (talk) 23:27, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Hiya Chris!

I'm so very happy to see it would be POTD. I have one question/request if at all possible. Over at Commons WPPilot is one of our most valued contributors, but I see that he's blocked on en:Wiki until 2017 despite having formerly been extremely active. Since his photo is about to be POTD'd, it might be nice if someone could put a message on his en:Wiki talk page referring them to his Commons talk page for any congrats or correspondence? In a perfect world, I'd hope he could be unblocked in time for his feature - I really think he's learned whatever lesson was being taught - and he's an incredible resource to us at Commons with his boats, planes and drones. Whatever works, it would just be so sad if he couldn't correspond with people giving him congrats! Thank you for all your hard work for the project! Cheers!

POTD?

Hey Crisco! I have not quite understood the system of POTD. So you will simply add a featured picture to the queue for POTD? It does not need to get nominated again? Who writes the caption for the Main Page then? Where can I volunteer to do so for a specific FP? I'm talking specifically about this picture, which I nominated. When will new FPs added to the queue? Where would I go to propose a specific picture for a specific date?

Generally speaking, the WP:POTD site could use some more explaining... It says anybody can contribute but does not specify where. I am guessing the talk page, but not much is going on there?

If you want the Hamilton image to run earlier, however, that's not a problem. You can write the blurb yourself, or you can leave it for me. We're presently scheduled through July 9, so it would have to be for July 10 or later. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:42, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your swift answer! I was thinking maybe 27 November, for the last race of the season? I'd gladly write a blurb :) Zwerg Nase (talk) 10:48, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
    • Sure, go right ahead. You'll want to go to Template:POTD/2016-11-27 and use the POTD template (like at Template:POTD/2013-11-27) and fill in the different parameters to suit the image. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:34, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
      • Thanks for the good explanation! I have now created the page. Maybe you can go over it and see if I did everything right and if the blurb is OK? Zwerg Nase (talk) 17:42, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
        • I've edited it. Feel free to have a look. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:18, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
          • Hmm, it is very matter-of-factly now, which I know is good for Wikipedia, but if I understood the guidelines right the blurb was supposed to highlight why the image was featured, no? That's why I had originally included the fact that he is the defending World Champion and the link to rain tyre, since during the FP procedure that was one of the uses that was highlighted...

            • Have a look at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/June 2016. Matter of fact is how it's done. EV at FPC =/= something that must be included in the write-up. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:05, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hamka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Di Bawah Lindungan Ka'bah.
