Informal pre-FAC review

Hello :). I know that you are cooped up with reviewing articles at WP:FAC, and that's exactly why I have come to you. I have been working a lot on the film article Ra.One (a GA), and I had previously submitted it for an FAC. It failed due to a number of issues regarding references, and some prose problems. Since then, the article has undergone an overhaul. I would like you to give me your thoughts on the article, in the same way that you would review any FAC. It would be informal, but it would help in removing any other problems present in the article. I'd be much obliged if you could do it today or tomorrow, as I've been delaying the submission for quite some time (I had planned to place it for a second time on April 26, but missed it due to a lot of work on the article). Thanks in advance! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 12:31, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Ankitbhatt. I'm sorry, I almost never review popular culture or entertainment articles, and I'm not familiar with community standards for these articles. - Dank (push to talk) 12:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Oh. Well alright then, thanks anyways :). I was just wondering whether the very general aspects (prose, citations, structuring) of the article was alright. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 13:09, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, newbie requiring help.

I rewrote the Second Thirty Years War page, which was a stub class, and asked for a reassessment. However, here Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment#Requests_for_assessment I was told that it needed more refernces (without any citations needed being added) and that the article was bogus.

If someone's calling it bogus, then they're obviously unaware of the current consensus and the historiography, especially the change since the 70s and 80s.

If they'd checked the articles online such as Henig and Dray, they'd see that what I'm saying is true. These are by top historians, quoting lots of other top historians. But I've got about 80 refernces from 30 books, chapters and articles. Someone helped me with the bibliography so now between us we've added every ISBN.

This subject was part of my area of expertise at university and any knowledgeable academic or amateur would agree with what I've written. As I say, I quote almost 30 different historians, and some of the articles are available online.

Sorry to be a pain, but as a newbie, I'm confused. How can someone who must have no knowledge of the issue (or they'd be familiar with the works of the historians I'm citing) claim an article is bogus when they're not even prepared to have a look through the online sources I've mentioned?

Is this standard wiki or wiki MilHist procedure?

When I re-wrote the Listen to Britain page, and moved it to MilHist, someone assessed it, moved it up to a C, and added some citations needed. When I refernced these, they upgraded it to a B.

Second Thirty Years War has a far larger scope, far more refernces and a much bigger bibliography, yet it is dismissed as bogus. What am I meant to do if I'm not told what is being disputed? Can someone familiar with the arguments or the work of the historians cited, or someone prepared to read the online articles please reassess it instead?

I've put my case here: Talk:Second_Thirty_Years_War#Why_is_this_considered_bogus_and_why_is_it_still_stub_class.3F. But is it normal in the MilHist project for people to dismiss an article with this many refernces and citations as bogus?

FAC Copyeditor

Do you still need copyeditors to review FAC nominations? If so, I'd like to help. You can reply on my talk page or here. BlueBonnet Ð 01:16, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Sure! Feel free to pick anything on WP:FACL and do anything you like; I'll stalk your edits and step in if I think it will help. Feel free to ask me questions, or you can just post questions at the FAC for anyone. Is there any kind of feedback you've seen me give before that you'd like for me to provide? - Dank (push to talk) 02:27, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

I was responding to the note you put on the GOCE talk page a couple of days ago. I thought there was something specific you needed done with new nominations/ nominators. BlueBonnet Ð 03:02, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, that's one thing that really needs doing, thanks much. Just jump on any new-ish nominations that appeal to you that haven't gotten a substantial review yet and offer a list of simple problems that need fixing. (Not too many problems ... maybe 10 or 15 per FAC for now, and we'll see how it goes.) To save the nominator some work, I typically edit the text myself instead of leaving copyediting notes, but that's usually with articles where the nominator knows me and won't mind me fiddling with their text during FAC. Traditionally at FAC, nominators are asked to make the changes. It's helpful for other reviewers to see how (and if!) the nominator responds to a short, simple review or two. - Dank (push to talk) 03:29, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello Dank! If you are still in need of copy editors, I would be happy to help out. Just tell me what needs doing, and I will do my best to help out. L1ght5h0w (talk) 13:02, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! What I described just above would be great. I'll check your contribs once a day while you're getting started at FAC, and give you feedback on the FAC page. - Dank (push to talk) 13:07, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Question regarding Speedied article

I noticed that you were one of the administrators who speedied Pricing Partners. If you could take a look at "pricing partners" and determine if it is a re-creation or if the newly named title version is appropriate to un-salt the original title that would be great.

Requesting review of Folding@home

Hi there Dank,

I saw that you've listed your name over at WP:PRV. I've been enthusiastically editing pretty extensively on Folding@home, and achieved GA status early last month. It's an article about a powerful distributed computing project which simulates protein folding for disease research, so I thought you might be interested. I'd like to improve the article as much as I can, and perhaps even reach FA status, so if you have a moment, I'd sure appreciate any advice or suggestions you may have. I've opened a peer review. Thank you for your time, Jesse V. (talk) 21:36, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I was hoping I would be able to spare the time for this, but it's not going to happen; I'd have to learn a lot more biochemistry than I know now. - Dank (push to talk) 17:49, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Review request: The Kane Chronicles

Hi. Since you've offered to review copyedit jobs, I'd like you to please take a look at The Kane Chronicles.

Main page appearance: Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga

This is a note to let the main editors of Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 4, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 4, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Kaga was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Originally intended to be one of two Tosa-class battleships, Kaga was converted under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty into an aircraft carrier as the replacement for the battlecruiser Amagi, which had been damaged during the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake. Kaga's aircraft first supported Japanese troops in China during the Shanghai Incident of 1932 and participated in the Second Sino-Japanese War in the late 1930s. With other carriers, she took part in the Pearl Harbor raid in December 1941 and the invasion of Rabaul in the Southwest Pacific in January 1942. The following month her aircraft participated in a combined carrier airstrike on Darwin, Australia, helping secure the conquest of the Dutch East Indies by Japanese forces. During the Battle of Midway in June, Kaga and the other carriers were attacked by American aircraft from Midway Atoll and the carriers Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown. Dive bombers from Enterprise severely damaged Kaga; when it became obvious she could not be saved, she was scuttled by Japanese destroyers to prevent her from falling into enemy hands. In 1999, debris from Kaga was located on the ocean floor; the main body of the carrier has not yet been found. (more...)

PC RfC again

"we all know that the Option 1 guys didn't just want to win a battle against one PC proposal, they wanted to win a war against all PC proposals". With all respect, that is one of the most polarizing statements I've read since this RfC began. It isn't borne out by the totality of the comments from Option 1 supporters. It isn't even true of me, and I consider myself an ardent PC opponent. Leaving aside the question of the "battle" and "war" metaphors, I can't help thinking that addition of one short word, "some" (as in "some Option 1 guys"), would change your sweeping generalization into an accurate statement. (I'm responding here because I don't want to add anything potentially contentious to what has been a peaceful talk page thus far. I also wanted to assure you that I've been finding most of your other comments on the page genuinely insightful and valuable, so I was sort of brought up short when I read that one.) Rivertorch (talk) 19:52, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I value your insight and I'll change it. I guess I used the wrong words; what's in my head seems pretty banal and obvious, that your goal wasn't just to defeat the particular draft proposal being offered, but generally to push back against PC. Thanks for the compliment, and btw, I very much look forward (as soon as the closure is done, or before) to participating with you guys in crafting something that solves one or more wiki-problems. - Dank (push to talk) 20:29, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

USS Mahan (DD-364)

I expanded the lead section of the USS Mahan (DD-364) article. And I’m hopeful that you can find the time to critique it. I took the liberty of pressing ahead on my own because of a personal interest.

I also did some fairly extensive cleanup on the body of the text. The text is essentially that which is contained in the Dictionary of American Fighting Ships – USS Mahan II (DD-364). No criticism is intended, although the Navy style does seem somewhat at odds with most style manuals. In any event, I believe the article now reads better, but whether I improved it is left for someone else to decide.

In hindsight, I failed to follow the military style of day, month, and year usage – because, for my part, it seems to interrupt the flow and rhythm of the thought being expressed. But, I stand ready to correct my mistake.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Pendright (talk) 21:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks much for working on that. Either day/month or month/day is fine for military articles that are linked strongly to the US. I'm going to make some stylistic changes in the morning. If you have books or other sources that cover the USS Mahan, I'll be happy to help you get this article reviewed. - Dank (push to talk) 03:30, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

We're going to need to work on some of those style points, but finding some solid sources is more important than style. I've asked at WT:SHIP#New editor could use some help for some help. - Dank (push to talk) 00:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

As I mentioned, the primary source of the body of the Mahan article is the on-line Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, Department Of The Navy – Naval Historical center. DANFS touts itself as the foremost reference regarding US naval vessels. Am I wrong in assuming that the US Navy is not a solid source?

United States DESTROYER OPERATIONS in World War II (ISBN 0-87021-726-7), published by the Naval Institute Press – refers to the activity of the Mahan on twenty pages of its copyrighted material. And it supports the DANFS history. Kamikaze, Japan’s Suicide Samurai (ISBN 0-304-35200-4), written by Raymond Lamont-Brown, deals specifically with the sinking. As does AT WAR WITH THE WIND (ISBN – 10: 0-8065-2893-1), written by David Sears. Both books are copyrighted. I should also tell you that I was a member of the crew when the Mahan was sunk. Honest! Thank you. Pendright (talk) 04:41, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

That will help a lot, especially the first book (Destroyer Operations). The first job is to add references, so that the article isn't relying on just two named sources. Again, I've asked for help over at our SHIPS talk page (click on the blue link), and I expect someone will be by to help soon! I'm mainly a copyeditor, but it's too soon for copyediting. - Dank (push to talk) 11:12, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I added the above three references and one external link for the USS Mahan Association. Would more references or links be helpful? Pendright (talk) 01:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm mainly a copyeditor, and I stay pretty busy because we don't have enough copyeditors. This isn't at the copyediting stage yet. I see you've got an invitation to participate at the ships project ... that will work, click on "edit" at WT:SHIPS to post your question. I'll keep an eye on that page. - Dank (push to talk) 12:26, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Much obliged! I really did serve aboard old 364. Pendright (talk) 22:08, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Pending aircraft article FACs

Greetings Dank, thanks for the suggestions on De Havilland Comet! I'm hoping to co-nominate (if that's possible) the article for review in the near future, provided that further improvements are made, and that the other major contributors are available and on board. Both you and delegate Ian Rose have suggested proceeding to FAC sooner rather than later, despite potential roadbumps ahead. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see just how much margin there is for medium-to-major prose, MoS, and other changes during the review process.

Also, as mentioned in the recent "comparable aircraft" discussion (during which some progress on "See also" was made; partial consensus?), Boeing 757 is moving towards FAC as well. It's currently in A-class review, which I advertised some weeks ago on WP:AIRCRAFT and WP:MILHIST. As a reviewer of its sibling article, Boeing 767, perhaps you might consider contributing to the A-class review page? This article shares many of the same references, sentences, and structure; it will be interesting to see if reviewers have similar responses. Sincerely, SynergyStar (talk) 09:05, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I'll be happy to work on these, and we'll see how it goes. - Dank (push to talk) 13:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you Dank for helping with both of these articles! Given time both will likely get nominated for FA review in the near future. Originally I've thought of doing the Comet first, but some of the other major editors are busy for the time being, so possibly 757 will be next. Regards, SynergyStar (talk) 00:15, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

If PC goes forward in any way, shape or form, I hope you'll take a leading role in organizing the discussion of how to implement it. Rivertorch (talk) 19:11, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks ... well, I'll stay involved, certainly. The four closers apparently have comments prepared ... maybe there's a particular path they'd like PC to take. If they don't have a specific recommendation, then I'll issue an invitation on the RFC talk page for people to join one or more working groups where we try to keep track of an outline of the questions and answers so far on the project page, and allow free-form but hopefully relevant discussion on the talk page.

Happy to help I'm not sure what it was I did that convinced you to send me some encouragement, but I definitely appreciate it. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:48, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

The attention your work has generated in the press has cast yourself, and Wikipedia, in a very favorable light. Also, I've been a fan of your work for a long time and never said anything. - Dank (push to talk) 11:20, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Peer review-USS Mahan (DD-364)

Much obliged for your help with Mahan article and the peer review. I see myself as an able writer and editor, but my skill in navigating the waters of Wikipedia is still evolving. Case in point: your edit of Mahan removed Inc., (following United Dry Docks) from the text. For consistency, I decided to remove it from Career (US). When I did, it unlinked. I reversed my post, still no link??? Pendright (talk) 15:10, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia doesn't have an article on United Dry Docks, with or without the "Inc". - Dank (push to talk) 15:31, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

True! The former link was not direct, but it led the way to United Dry Dock history through Morse Dry Dock and Repair Company. Pendright (talk) 18:10, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

WP:LINK has lots of great advice on linking, including how to input them properly. - Dank (push to talk) 18:26, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
