List of Nobel Laureates in Literature

Another Nobel laureates list. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC) [reply]

"Restart", nothing negative, but not enough to reach consensus

Wow, I have only read books by two of those authors (Lord of the Flies by William Golding and several of Winston Churchill's books, although I have read some of the poems by Kipling and Yeats). Anyway, I would have preferred that you wait until the Chemistry one was finished, because some of the kinks in it are still being worked out. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the concerns appear as if they have been addressed. The image issue looks like the only one that's remaining, and I'm fairly confident I can address any issues that come up. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 01:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments I copyedited the article and left some inline comments. Gary King (talk) 02:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As an article, good work. The only issue I found was a hyphen used in a year range, which I changed to an en dash. However, I cannot support until the images have been checked. As an example Image:T-mommsen-2.jpg has a deprecated tag. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced that particular image, and I'll try to find an image reviewer. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sources look good. It'd be nice if the entire article didn't rely on one source, however. Cheers, –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 15:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Have you gone through and made sure that all of the nationalities match the Nobel website? Random users tend to change them, so if you haven't, you probably should. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Finished double checking. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 22:03, 23 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the status on the images? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eco told me that he would do the images a while ago, but he's been busy. I've asked him again here, and I'm awaiting a response. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 03:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried contacting David Fuchs for an image check? Dabomb87 (talk) 00:49, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did so. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:16, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh... there was a time when I wasn't known as an image guy and people didn't ask me about such things. What the hell happened? :P Anyhow, since this is such a pain in the ass and I'm playing DotA with some friends at the same time, I'll go in stages:
- Image:Carducci.jpg - needs author and date so we can verify PD.
  - Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image:Gerhart Hauptmann.jpg - image needs description, et al, redundant copy of image
  - Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image:Karl Gjellerup.jpg - has no author.
  - Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Image:Carl spitteler 1905.jpg - same as above.
  - Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 20:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's it for that batch. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've added more images in an attempt to be helpful. Feel free to shout at me if this was a bad idea. Ironholds (talk) 23:49, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, a bad idea. So many of the images of the supposedly "free" images on Commons have bad sources and assertions of permission (PD 70+ being the most common for our case) that it's hard to find a good image. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grrr when checking the articles of the guys without images, about half of them did have an image there. Why isn't it here too? Nergaal (talk) 00:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because the sources/permissions are bad or nonexistent. They're not used for a reason. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 02:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images, Part II:

Image:Wyczolkowski-portretReymonta.jpg - author for license?

Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 19:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:SinclairLewis1930.jpg contradictory license

Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 19:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:John galsworthy.jpg wrong license (no author)

Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 19:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:FransEemilSillanpää.jpg duplicate licenses

Fixed. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 19:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 21:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it for that bunch. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 19:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Part III:

Image:Russell1907-2.jpg - since we don't have the author and it wasn't from 1730 or something, I don't think the PD-Art tag can apply.

Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 01:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Juan Ramón Jiménez.jpg - deadlinks, don't know if the author-death applies

Replaced. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 01:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Albert Camus, gagnant de prix Nobel, portrait en buste, posé au bureau, faisant face à gauche, cigarette de tabagisme.jpg - unsure about the claim, as there's no OTRS or similar verification.

Added permission. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 01:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Sholokhov-1938.jpg no date of author death

Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 01:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Eyvindj.gif no indication of date of publication.

Cut. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 01:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All other images check out. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 20:17, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it for that batch. — sephiroth bcr ^(converse) 01:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think that the images all meet criteria now. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 03:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support My issues have been resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I'd like to see it featured. Irregulargalaxies (talk) 03:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
