The other Tiger

I'll try to add references to the other paragraphs in the next few days. Even so, there's still a lot of other unreferenced content, along with other problems I pointed out in the review. I remain unsure that this is really at the GA level right now. Giants2008 (17-14) 17:45, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps June update

Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of 396 articles were swept in May! That more than doubles our most successful month of 163 swept articles in September 2007 (and the 2 articles swept in April)! I plan to be sending out updates at the beginning of each month detailing any changes, updates, or other news until Sweeps are completed. So if you get sick of me, keep reviewing articles so we can be done (and then maybe you'll just occasionally bump into me). We are currently over 60% done with Sweeps, with just over a 1,000 articles left to review. With over 40 members, that averages out to about 24 articles per person. If each member reviews an article a day this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. I know that may be asking for a lot, but it would allow us to complete Sweeps and allow you to spend more time writing GAs, reviewing GANs, or focusing on other GARs (or whatever else it is you do to improve Wikipedia) as well as finish ahead of the two-year mark coming up in August. I recognize that this can be a difficult process at times and appreciate your tenacity in spending time in ensuring the quality of the older GAs. Feel free to recruit other editors who have reviewed GANs in the past and might be interested in the process. The more editors, the less the workload, and hopefully the faster this will be completed. If you have any questions about reviews or the process let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 18:18, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Jackie Robinson

Thanks for your comments on the Jackie Robinson FAC. There are a couple of remaining suggestions I didn't act on for editorial reasons, but I learned a lot from your posts. The inclusion of non-free images appears to be the snag. I've become convinced the article can't reach FA consensus without removing all non-free images, and that the administrators won't elevate the article while there are any standing non-free-image-related complaints. At the end of the day I care more about an informative, well-illustrated article than I do a star at the top, so I am not going to pursue the FAC again after it dies. But if any contributor wants some low-hanging fruit for a successful FAC-elevation feather in their cap, this would be it. Thanks again for your input. BillTunell (talk) 18:15, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: PokerTracker assessing

Just seemed like adding projects for the sake of adding projects. I only kept the ones that I knew for sure it belonged it, although you can add them back if you want. Gary King (talk) 02:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I read the article; I spotted it on the main page when it was a DYK. It's a good article, although the images make it cramped a bit. Gary King (talk) 03:35, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
I strongly recommend you convert File:Hand history.jpg and File:Tournament summary.jpg to text and just enter it into the article as text into a <pre> tag or something, rather than using an image. It's a win-win situation because then the images won't be squished, and you can also scroll the text. Gary King (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Okay done. Normally I'm against scroll bars but in this particular case, it's far better than using an unreadable image IMO. Gary King (talk) 22:41, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah pretty much, but still better than using the image IMO. The image is pretty pointless. Maybe you could just shorten the text so scrollbars are unnecessary. Gary King (talk) 04:54, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
The text can certainly be shortened. For the "Sample Tournament Summary" text, for instance, you can play a 6-max tournament instead of a 90-max one, and then there are only 6 players to list instead of 90. That's one way to shorten that one. For "Sample Hand History", it's essentially the same thing; just play a table with 6 or less players. Gary King (talk) 18:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks on the heads up

No, it was a copyvio, so I deleted it. The Chicago website where the original map is makes no mention of a free license - see here, so it was a copyvio. Sometimes people confuse US Government work (which is free) with state and city work, but this had a published prior to 1923 free tag, which is obviously in error.

Thanks for your earlier note oin my tlak page, which I now realize I did not reply to - sorry. I plan to find a replacement ref (or refs) for the first use of the Structurae ref, then leave it as a ref for just the two metal subcontractors. Does the Millennium Park book mention subcontractors (would it be a source to replace those two)? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:34, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Rob Pelinka

I see you're still adding content, which is good. Unfortunately, the FAC was archived. However, I'd like to continue reviewing and copy-editing the article, so just contact me when you're done and I'll come back to it by the end of next week. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

You are very welcome - do you want me to try and come up with a compressed closure paragraph? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:10, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
I tired compressing it - I think the overall Park article should go into more detail on these (I think that was your question). I think the main articles to try to get to FA would be the park itself, Pritzker Pavilion, Cloud Gate, and Crown Fountain (plus BP Bridge of course). I think that Lurie Garden and the Harris Theater could probably also be FA eventually. Not sure that any of the other features would have enough details / sources to get to FA.

Re: Aces and Eights

Truly, I wish I could AGF it (it's an offline source, so that's the best it can get). However, if I could tick it as such, I must confess that I can't nominate my own hook (A suggestion rather than a rule: try to avoid picking your own suggestions. Use common sense here, and please avoid even the appearance of conflict of interest. DYK is meant to be something that is motivating to editors creating new content.) I think I could AGF it, but if there's someone I'd see for the final say, it's going to be the one who struck it down in the first place: JulieSpaulding. I'm really sorry, I don't like being biased towards myself. The only other way I can tick it is if I use Stevage's hook, but as you mentioned, the hook is missing how it's statistically optimal to split them. I'm going to leave a message on the DYK talk page concerning it, as the people there probably have more experience OKing situations like these. Hurricane Angel Saki (talk) 06:22, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Actors GA Sweeps

I noticed that you just kept a few actor GAs for Sweeps, but I didn't see a review on their pages. If you believe they meet the criteria could you please make sure to leave a review on the talk page stating so? It'll help if any other reviews occur in the future. Thanks again for helping out with Sweeps. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:35, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

If you didn't see any issues with the article that conflict with the criteria, then just say that after reviewing the article you still believe it meets the criteria and have kept it per sweeps. A sample from one of my reviews can be seen here, but feel free to write whatever you feel comfortable with. We just want to ensure there is some confirmation from a reviewer that s/he looked over an article, saw that it met the criteria, and acknowledged it. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

No worries. If you see any reviewers that do so in the future, can you please remind them?

Millennium Park

I will put the Tori Amos closure back in if you want. Just let me know - I have been mulling it over and think all three closures could be introduced by talking about how the parking garage revenues did not meet expectations so the authorities tried other means to raise funds.

As for the Millennium Park article, I certainly think it could be FA (and mentioned it as such, although not by full name). I almost never work on FACs on the same topic back to back. The problem is that I have a lot of interests and not a lot of time. It would be easier for me to work on Pritzker Pavilion since it is the other Gehry structure and I already know something about it, or Crown Fountain, since I did some work on it when it was at FAC. The overall park article would be the most work for me as it would involve learning about ALL aspects of the park. I may have time and interest to do more copyedit work towards FAC on Millennium Park articles in the future, but right now Paennsylvania state parks and covered bridges and creeks await.

I always try to contact the main editors as well as the WikiProjects. In this case, from Sweeper to Sweeper (I'm making up these Sweeps terms as I go), I thought you'd be interested in resolving the issues yourself. I added details on the instructions page about contacting contributors/WikiProjects a while back so that reviewers would do so. If anyone is not doing it, just direct them there. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 05:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
No I see what you are saying, it's usually displayed for the community GARs. It's up the reviewer how reviews are performed so long as they make sure the article meets the criteria. Unfortunatley not everyone contacts the editors/projects which may cause a review to go unnoticed. I mention in the review that I will contact the main contributors and projects, but I don't list out who I contacted by name. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 05:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

It's always hard to guess what another reviewer might say or see. This article seems to me to be stable and broad in its coverage. I didn't have time to check the sources as closely as I would if I were the GA reviewer. I have reservations about the image overlap. The article is reasonably well written, but that's not to say that it couldn't be further improved. Perhaps a fresh set of eyes would help. Finetooth (talk) 17:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree, I completely understand if it is the 4th nomination though. I'll remove the others, I think the one of the boy and the reflection is appropriate to the text though. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:02, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind but I've moved the tent image from the reception where it seemed out of place and placed it in the construction section where the construction phase is discussed. I gather FAC reviewers objected to images used in the article in the past?Anyway don't worry I've finished with making the adjustments I wanted to make.

Agreed, I was about to remove it. I'm pretty much happy with the article now anyway. Regards. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I have done already! It is tricky ground though with images of copyrighted structures, maybe I'll just remove the images i added if you are concerned with them. I'm uncertain as to whether they are permitted. Normally we accept images of monuments but I don't want anybody to oppose the article based on images so.. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I've restored the previous image with the rationale. The last picture, the one of the boy it would seem to be about the boy, rather than directly the structure as you said. I'll be interested to hear what the image reviewer has to say about that one. as it is pretty harsh to claim that it fails requirements. Best of luck anyway, I'll be watching developments.
