{{sfn}} on Thornton Chase

Since you've done a ton of {{sfn}} footnote conversion could you work at the various Stockman 2002 citations over to sfn? That would be a great help. Smkolins (talk) 20:12, 23 September 2017 (UTC)::

Smkolins, Happy to! It really made life a lot easier on Mulla Husayn, despite the initial effort cost. penultimate_supper (talk) 02:48, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Excellent work User:Penultimate supper, thanks much! Smkolins (talk) 11:12, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

You can make the first reference appear in the normal list by just changing the first SFN to a full citation with ref=harv. I did it similar to the Mullá Husayn page where I've separated references and citations, but that isn't consistent with the overall page. I'll try to help out a bit more over there, it was a joy to read the article. penultimate_supper (talk) 11:35, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

migrating Bahai News urls and firming up citations

Hi, A while ago (!) I generated a bunch of wikipedia articles on some countries around the world but at the time a significant source, Bahai News, was available only as a massive download. Since then at least two hosts have come along for it and with url-to-a-page functionality and the original one dropped them, while the articles have not widely been updated to face this changing landscape. So if you have some spare time… I happen to be working on Bahá'í Faith in Colombia at the moment if you want to take a look. Should this gather some steam then there is also the prospect of expanding into more countries too. Smkolins (talk) 16:37, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Article Luang Por Dattajivo

Let me know if you have any more time to spend on this. Otherwise, I am closing down the peer review for now.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 20:54, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

I'll check out what you have going on tomorrow when I get a chance. Thanks! penultimate_supper (talk) 04:43, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Great! I'll wait for the weekend.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 07:32, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Peer review newsletter #1

Introduction

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:

• THANK YOU! I want to thank you for your contributions and for volunteering on the list to help out at peer review. Thank you!
• Peer review is useful! It's good to have an active peer review process. This is often the way that we help new or developing editors understand our ways, and improve the quality of their editing - so it fills an important and necessary gap between the teahouse (kindly introduction to our Wikiways) and GA and FA reviews (specific standards uphelp according to a set of quality criteria). And we should try and improve this process where possible (automate, simplify) so it can be used and maintained easily.

Updates

It can get quite lonely tinkering with peer review...

With a bit of effort we can renovate the place to look like this!

Update #1: the peer review volunteers list is changing

The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:

• {{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}} - if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.
• {{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}} - if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.

We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.

Update #2: a (lean) WikiProject Peer review

I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.

So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.

Update #3: advertising

We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!

And... that's it!

I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

A page you started (A. L. M. Nicolas) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating A. L. M. Nicolas, Penultimate supper!

Wikipedia editor Nick Moyes just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Great start. There's a mismatch of his name in the Infobox and the Lead. The lead needs to be shorter, so please remove, like who his father was. Just keep that in an 'early life' section. I'd like to see more inline citations, though I see you're still working on this. Maybe a candidate for a Did You Know?. Interested?

To reply, leave a comment on Nick Moyes's talk page.

Inactive peer review volunteer

Hi Captain Killy, you're receiving this message because you were previously listed at the list of volunteers for Wikipedia's peer review process, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over 1 year.

Because of your inactivity, you have been removed from the volunteers list, so that the list is kept up to date and editors who do need help can better find active editors. If you become active again and would like to add yourself to the volunteers list again, you can do so at any time by visiting the volunteers list.

Thank you for volunteering to be on the list previously, and all the best on your WikiVoyages! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:01, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
