WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre
Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 01:17, 4 June 2013 (UTC) |
New naming consensus
Like I said, it would have been nice for you to notify the WikiProjects you knew were going to be affected, seeing as you used many articles within our scope as your examples! Posting on various policy/guidelines/MOS etc. pages is all well and good but doesn't help any of us who don't 'watch' those pages. GiantSnowman 14:33, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Understandable - but surely you can see why you should have notified those WikiProjects? Obviously you cannot notify every single WikiProject, but it would have been sensible to notify any/all applicable WikiProjects if you used articles within their scope as your examples. By using them as examples, you were basically saying "these articles will be affected one way or the other." GiantSnowman 14:48, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for June 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jon Horford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Junior (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this.

Red links
I'm not going to edit war over something stupid like this, but why are you so against red links for people who are clearly notable? A Tony nomination is enough to prove notability; the only reason why they don't have articles yet is because nobody has gotten around to creating them yet. Not only do the red links make it easier once the article is created, but they also remind editors that those pages have to be created. JDDJS (talk) 17:13, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Redlinks aren't going to highlight omissions any more than a lack of a link would. And at least with a redlink, it is clear that the article doesn't exist, and it doesn't lead readers on a pointless search for an article that doesn't exist. However, like I said before, I'm not going to edit war over something stupid, so you can have it your way. JDDJS (talk) 18:38, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Please note that the links should not (and, as I recall, did not) go to the same place. I've vastly expanded the "Vepres" article and focused it on the French version.

Hey, agreed that we shouldn't really enumerate each guest appearance.
However since this is a new TNT series it may be worth noting the information for all viewers or interested parties - including those who were also fans of the former & quite successful 'Leverage', which also aired on the TNT network.
Also especially since it is still new any additional information on the show is always appreciated by all those with interest :)

Two questions
Hi Tony, two questions:
- I'm ready to take oxbow (horse) for GA, however, the informal peer reviewer I had look over the article thinks we should take it directly to FAC. I'm hesitant to do so, partly due to stability issues (by the time it's GA, time should be adequate for FA) but wonder what you think? Montanabw(talk) 21:10, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Drowning Girl, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heinemann Library (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Mila Kunis
Hey Tony. I've mentioned you here, at the talk page for the Mila Kunis article. It relates to a recommendation you made last spring in that article's good article review. Your suggestion has been used no fewer than eight times over the past year to revert the removal of a mention in the lede of Kunis' past relationship with Macaulay Culkin. While I sincerely admire and appreciate your considerable work to improve the content here, I don't think time is agreeing with mentioning Culkin in the lede at Kunis' article, and I hope you might have a moment to take another look (even if your opinion hasn't changed). Thank you, again. Take care! user:j (talk) 16:51, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tony. I'm reading through the Clinton RM and was wondering if you could clarify your comment for me.

Lichtenstein
Wow, your work related to Roy Lichtenstein is incredible--keep up the great work! I went ahead and removed all of the articles for his individual paintings and sculptures from the "Pop art" category, which is already included for the parent categories "Paintings by Roy Lichtenstein" and "Sculptures by Roy Lichtenstein". Sorry I am not comfortable uploading images of the paintings... I hope my recent edits related to Lichtenstein were not intrusive.

Onyx
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with finding a reliable source for Onyx (Every Little Time)? I can only find Discogs and Last.fm for decent biographies for him and even them are nicked from his MySpace page, none of which are reliable sources. It's incredibly annoying because he's notable; he had a #66 hit with the above song, but I can't reliably source it. Even AllMusic thinks its the name artist as Onyx. Any chance of a bit of help?--Launchballer 21:13, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Drowning Girl
Where the article states "The image is typical of Lichtenstein's depiction of comic subjects responding to a situation in a cliched manner." I don't have the source, but does it mean comic as in funny or comic as in comic book or comic art? Would it be better to change it to comic book subject or comic art subject for greater clarity of that's what the source intends? Hiding T 18:13, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- also, with "The waves are intended to "recall Hokusai as well as the biomorphic forms of Arp and Miro;"[48] just as the source comics were intended to." The statement that the source comics were intended to recall Hokusai, is that from a sourced interview with the creators of the original art or is that an opinion advanced by either the writer of the book or Lichtenstein? If it is opinion, we should avoid stating it as fact. Again I don;t have the source but would it be okay for you to check and amend as required? Hiding T 18:19, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
- I thought it would be easier because I thought you wanted me to strike a lot of material from the FAC page. No other reason. I'll add these there instead, my apologies, I'm never sure of all the rules regarding all the different processes. Thanks for your gentle pointer as to the correct etiquette.

- Hi Tiger, I know it doesn't do to remove an RS but takka takka can hardly be the sound of heavy artillery! I'd suggest that in this instance the author has got her terminology confused and that there's no benefit in citing her, so I've removed the link and changed the passage. Ericoides (talk) 18:47, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. What a nonsense! Ericoides (talk) 21:14, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for answering. I'm no weapons expert, far from it, but my understanding is that the rate of fire of artillery, which our description states "operates by projection of munitions far beyond the effective range of personal weapons", would never be able to produce that repetitive "takka takka" sound. It would go, "bang ... bang ... bang". The painting itself shows a machine gun. Even a heavy machine gun is not artillery in the sense that our article describes it. Ericoides (talk) 05:12, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- No, I hadn't. But I appreciate you being accomodating re this! Ericoides (talk) 05:36, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Outstanding
The only query I have outstanding is whether the material from Beaty's book is of any value at Drowning Girl. Once you clarify that I have no other issues with the article. I've not really been involved in the FA process in a long time, I just came along based on your post at WikiProject Comics so you'd best guide me as to what to do once we resolve the Beaty thing. Hiding T 21:47, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
- Not sure what you are asking, but Beaty's book is available on google books here. You can search inside the book for Lichtenstein. Does that help? Do you want me to add the material myself? See I'm not sure where it's best placed, whether in the main Lichtenstein article or is it worth rehashing in all the articles on his paintings sourced from comics like you do with Barsalou? The general view of Lichtenstein from the comics world is that there is agreement that he should have credited the original artists, agreement that he was violating copyright and agreement that he wasn't a great comics artist. Whether he is a good artist or not is split, although most lean towards him being a pop artist of note. Anyway, over to you. Hiding T 22:06, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
