Userkaf

[edit]
Nominator(s): Iry-Hor (talk) 12:11, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about Userkaf, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh, founder of the Fifth Dynasty of Egypt in the 25th Century BC. This article failed FAC last February owing to my being unexpectedly absent from wikipedia at the time. I have now addressed all remarks received by the article in its first FAC round. I hope it can pass FA this time. Iry-Hor (talk) 12:11, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • File:Seal_Userkaf.png: what is the author's date of death?
Petrie died in 1942, 77 years ago. Should I write this somewhere? Iry-Hor (talk) 18:26, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Userkaf_Kythera.png needs a US PD tag. Same with File:Userkaf_fragment_Berlin_ÄM_19774.jpg

  • Based on the scale, orientation and style of the image, I suspect it's based on Miroslav Verner's The Pyramids: The mystery, culture, and science of Egypt's great monuments (2001), p. 267 (or more likely the 1998 German version of the work). The labels and room layouts are probably based Mark Lehner's The Complete Pyramids, p. 150 (or, again, more likely Geheimnis der Pyramiden 1999). Mr rnddude (talk) 18:05, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done A ref to Verner and Zemina was already in the caption to show the origin of the map. I added one more for the labels, which indeed come from Lehner's book.Iry-Hor (talk) 06:04, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from Aoba47

[edit]

I have a quick question about this nomination. Iry-Hor already has an active FAC. According to the FAC instructions: "An editor is allowed to be the sole nominator of only one article at a time, but two nominations may be allowed if the editor is a co-nominator on at least one of them." I have seen plenty of instances in which a second FAC is permitted if the first one is far enough along in the process and permission is received from an FAC coordinator. The first FAC still seems to be in the beginning stages as it has only received a prose review from Mr rnddude. Would this nomination be considered invalid because of this? Pinging the FAC coordinators (@FAC coordinators: ) to ask about it. Aoba47 (talk) 23:05, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's correct Aoba -- normally I would simply remove this as out-of-process but because of Nikki's image review (even though it's actioned) I'm going to archive it. Iry, pls just focus your attentions on one FAC at a time, at least until the current one is closer to promotion. Tks/cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:36, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ian Rose argh ok but then will I be able to put it up at FAC again as soon as my other article has been archived or promoted ?Iry-Hor (talk) 07:36, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, or if it's clearly getting close to promotion (i.e. it's had its source review, and several reviewers have indicated support for promotion) then you can ask a coord for leave to nominate another article, which is usually granted though not always immediately -- it's all in the instructions at the top of WP:FAC.
