Swami Vivekananda GA review

I have completed some tasks and asked questions for 1 or 2 in GA review talk page --Tito Dutta ✉ 12:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I have replied in GA talk page! --Tito Dutta ✉ 00:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I have replied in Swami Vivekananda GA review page! I personally do not have any hurry. Please keep on adding more good points! --Tito Dutta ✉

Sorry for this. For some reason, I thought quick fails just refer to an article being failed quickly due to any issues. Best, Statυs (talk) 18:56, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Joint Tribal Council of the Passamaquoddy Tribe v. Morton/GA1

Thanks for reviewing the article. I hope that my recent edits and comments have resolved your concerns. Savidan 02:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps my recent additions to the article have satisfied your concern. While I am not keen on writing an article based on single mentions of the case in footnotes of student-written law review notes, I am willing to examine any other source that devotes substantial, novel discussion to the case. Savidan 00:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

I've fixed the refs. Thanks again. Savidan 18:51, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Falaise Pocket map

Hi Grandiose, I hope that my comments on the Falaise Pocket map didn't come across as too harsh. I think that the map is a big improvement on the original and adds value to the articles its used in, and it's limitations are the result of the original map maker.

Homicide in English law

Hi,

After having a quick look at the article I would reconmend that before it becomes GA I would expand on the position of 'Loss of control' prior to the 2009 act especially the matter regarding the position before the sex and age position was established in the case of 'Camplin' (spelling may be wrong of name)of persoanl factors of the defendant to be taken into account when the jury decide about whether he should be succesful to argue this partial defence. I would mention especially the case of i beleive it was called Morgan Smith where he succesfully argued that sexual inadaquecy was enough where the wife states this to the Defendant. This was controlversal at the time and it meant that any factors of the defendant could be taken into account and it was only before Camplin came around that tyhe position of ooss of control (or provocation at the time) was put into a more legally right position.

I would also ensure that the past position prior to the 2009 act wasd in place to give sokme context to the common law position and law based on the Homicide act 1957.

I may do the GA review in the future dependant on time. I hope the above helps.02blythed (talk) 14:02, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Request for opinion on images

G'day, I have an article currently undergoing GA review (13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian)). I am a co-nominator of Pavle Đurišić for A Class and noticed your comments on the copyright issues with images used in that article, and I wondered if you would mind having a look at three images that are under discussion in the GA review Talk:13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian)/GA1 on the same basis? Thanks very much. Regards, Peacemaker67 (talk) 14:45, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that, your advice is appreciated. Just a point of clarification. You indicated that you didn't think insignia markings were good enough to justify the fairly high barrier for a FUR. As far as I am aware, this is the only photograph that shows all the insignia that is unique to this pretty obscure division in one photograph (both sleeves and front of uniform). Given the obscurity of the division, the possibility that someone has portrayed the full set of insignia more recently in a free image is decidedly remote. I'm not sure what you mean by illustrating it with other images. Could you explain? Peacemaker67 (talk) 02:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

GA review length

Hey; in his case it was the latter, as on a skim read they seem okay as GAs. That being said, as I'm reading them over I'm seeing a couple nitpicks that I'll note on the review pages. Nothing major, but they would have been noted had the review not taken five minutes according to the history. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:58, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

GAN Backlog drive

Hi Grandiose, I'm fully in favour of the guards being checked. Carry on the good work. Pyrotec (talk) 14:15, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I think it was right first time round. I'm checking some of Wizardman's, but I'm not really interested in sports (and he is) and Hahc21 has had some trouble in the past (he has improved considerably) so I'm treading very carefully. Pyrotec (talk) 14:51, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambigs

I think the answer is in two parts. (1) In the article, create a valid redlink (e.g. "John Smith (academic)"). Don't leave it pointing to the dab page. (2) In the dab page, add [[John Smith (academic)]] (1800–1875), [[History of Brasenose College, Oxford|Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford]] 1850–1875. That way, if someone creates the article at "John Smith (college principal)", they should find the duplicate when they go to add their new article to the dab page and then they can either create a redirect or move the article. Hope this helps. Bencherlite^Talk 06:05, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Help needed with country InfoBox

Assistance is needed at Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Bulgaria_discussion to help decide which dates should be included in the InfoBox of Bulgaria. It is a complex situation, because there were political entities from 700-1300, then a gap of several hundred years without any entity, then 1878 saw a new state. Any input is appreciated.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Boden Professor of Sanskrit election, 1860/archive1

OK, please spell out in great detail what needs to be done for these four images:

• File:Monier Monier-Williams.jpg
• File:Max Muller.jpg
• File:Samuel Wilberforce by Mowbray of Oxford.jpg
• File:Oxford - Balliol College - geograph.org.uk - 1329613.jpg

I understood the bit about adding categories to the Balliol image, but apart from that I'm not convinced that I actually understand what I need to do to satisfy your objection beyond slapping a couple of extra tags on the images... Thanks, Bencherlite^Talk 06:48, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply; I've added some information at the FAC page and at File:Max Muller.jpg which I hope overcomes your points. Let me know if it doesn't. Yours, Bencherlite^Talk 12:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Renaming sections

Hello Grandiose, I noticed that you had made some changes to the page that outlines Wikipedia's username policy. When you rename sections, please check the "what links here" page to update the pages that link to the section. Alternatively, you may use {{Anchor}} to create an anchor with the old name, so that links that use the old name will continue to work. Happy editing! —Joshua Issac (talk) 11:38, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Sellers at FAC

Many thanks for your comments at FAC on the Peter Sellers images. A new image has now replaced the Girl in My Soup image and we now have two images with signatures.

Reginald Heber FAC reply

Re my Image review in the Reginald Heber FAC, where I found that all of the images were free, you wrote:

Not quite sure of that, Ruhrfisch. Well, OK, I am, but the documentation on File:Reginald Heber - Project Gutenberg eText 18444.jpg may need fixing. I'm not sure but I think the country of origin will be the UK and so the file should be tagged appropriately. No idea of the country of origin of File:GreenlandsIcyMountains.jpg either, but possibly either. It's taken from the web, which also doesn't identify it I don't think. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 22:13, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Just to make it clear that I did my proper due diligence at the time of my review, the Heber portrait (first image) is from an edition of the book that was published in New York (USA) in 1906, while the hymn (second image) is clearly identified as from a book published in Philadelphia in the US in 1899, which makes both PD US, which makes them both free for Wikipedia. I have cleaned up the Heber portrait documentation further. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:09, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

PS I do my best with image reviews, but am not an expert. I believe that I am correct here, but if I have erred, please let me know and help me fix the error - thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:20, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 August newsletter

The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

1. Grapple X (submissions) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
2. Miyagawa (submissions) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
3. Ruby2010 (submissions) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
4. Casliber (submissions) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
5. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
6. Muboshgu (submissions) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
7. Dana Boomer (submissions) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
8. Sasata (submissions) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: GreatOrangePumpkin (submissions), Ealdgyth (submissions), Calvin999 (submissions), Piotrus (submissions), Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), The Bushranger (submissions) and 1111tomica (submissions). We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
