Hey, how movement he established? --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 16:15, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

His article says that he founded Rodzima Wiara. Are you hinting that this shouldn't count as a separate movement, because it's part of a larger rodnover movement? I guess the line can be hard to draw between what counts as a broader tradition, a movement or just an organization. Ffranc (talk) 04:32, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

The Voyage Home (2004 film) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, The Voyage Home (2004 film), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Epsilon Team

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Epsilon Team requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Epsilon Team. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Peaceray (talk) 14:45, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

I'll try to keep that in mind. One of my edits was mainly copy editing and the addition of a short legacy section. The other replaced some blogs marked with "better source needed" with a reliable source. Ffranc (talk) 08:50, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Freya Aswynn

Hi @Ffranc: How are you? I reverted that article back to the redirect as part of WP:NPP. I was planning push it into Draft, but I can't find a single standalone reference which verifies her as being notable. I do understand that in any particular field, however obscure, byzantine or niche it is, there is always somebody who stands out and is notable and is worthy of an article, but evidence must be visible, and I can't see it. If you can give me WP:THREE references that I can verify. scope_creep^Talk 15:17, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Scope creep: I made a new attempt with a couple of more sources. The main ones in terms of SIGCOV would be Schnurbein 2016, Mountfort 2015 and Rabinovitch 2002. Mountfort is the least substantial of the three, with about one third of a page about Aswynn. Ffranc (talk) 08:20, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ffranc, It is certainly esoteric. I found several mentions and descriptions of her, on Google books. including several books she has authored. As an author alone, there is probably sufficient notability there, but it is very slim. The article has been posted back on to the NPP queue, so another editor will be coming along who will make an independent judgement. See what happens I guess. scope_creep^Talk 08:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Aki Cederberg moved to draftspace

Article might be encyclopedic but is written as though it were a resumé so bad that it would need to be re-written significantly from scratch to meet our standard, hence incubation seems to be the only reasonable route to follow at this moment.

The article Nostos: The Return you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Nostos: The Return for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Thanks

for your review of mysteries of Isis, which pushed me to clarify aspects of the topic that I had unwisely ignored. That's the best kind of review, the kind whose necessity is asserted by the quotation at the top of my own user page. Unfortunately, other circumstances made me feel I needed to withdraw the nomination, but I hope to renominate at a more propitious time. I'd appreciate your support when I do so. A. Parrot (talk) 03:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

That's sad to see. I agree with the people who have commented at the FAC page that this seems unnecessary and you can ignore the guy on the talk page. But it's your decision. If the FAC is closed I will place Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Mysteries of Isis/archive2 on my watchlist and give my support once you renominate the article.

Re: request for copy editing

Hi Ffrank, I'm happy to pick this up. I've had a quick perusal and have a couple of suggestions: as a reader, I found the references a bit overcomplicated. Could we merge them into 'Notes and references' and 'Bibliography' or similar? 'Further Reading' for a relatively short article doesn't seem appropriate. And the section headings could perehaps be clearer and more to the point. See what you think and let me know when I change them. From 'categorisation' I'm assuming British English.

WikiCup 2022 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

• Epicgenius, a finalist last year, who led the field with 1906 points, gained from 32 GAs and 19 DYKs, all on the topic of New York buildings.
• AryKun, new to the contest, was second with 1588 points, having achieved 2 FAs, 11 GAs and various other submissions, mostly on the subject of birds.
• Bloom6132, a WikiCup veteran, was in third place with 682 points, garnered from 51 In the news items and several DYKs.
• GhostRiver was close behind with 679 points, gained from achieving 12 GAs, mostly on ice hockey players, and 35 GARs.
• Kavyansh.Singh was in fifth place with 551 points, with an FA, a FL, and many reviews.
• SounderBruce was next with 454 points, gained from an FA and various other submissions, mostly on United States highways.
• Ktin, another WikiCup veteran, was in seventh place with 412 points, mostly gained from In the news items.

These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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 Needed.

Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

If so, what is one of those that you would like written, and think has a good chance of becoming a reasonable article, but that you aren't going to get to yourself any time soon? I like writing about different subjects, and might try turning one of those red links green. If you're OK with that, I wouldn't want to step on your toes. Also, I probably won't do as good a job as you would, since it not my specialty, and could take a fair bit of time to do it ... but I like variety so it seems like it might be fun. --GRuban (talk) 14:18, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

That would be nice although you shouldn't feel compelled to do it. The purpose is mainly to force myself to create the articles (or sometimes read the books for the first time) so they finally can be removed from the silly list. The most prominent book there is Renan's Life of Jesus, which really is a serious omission from English Wikipedia and for example has an article on ruwp. Heliogabalus and Trilby are also serious omissions and should be pretty easy to find at least some sources for, although more expansive articles might be hard to write without French-language offline sources. Ffranc (talk) 15:04, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm a volunteer, I can't be compelled to do anything here. But I do like to cooperate with other dedicated editors. Even when I think they are wrong! So very wrong! I collaborated on two articles after an argument with another editor as a sign of no hard feelings. (They're about games, so you may not appreciate them, but I think they turned out nicely, even if I do say so myself.) In fact, even on the article we discussed, Yulia Tolopa, there was a guy who tried to delete a source that I thought was rather important. We argued about it, eventually came to a half-satisfying conclusion (the tag objecting to the source is still in the article, but at least so is the source), and after it was over I found some reasonable images to illustrate some of his articles which he seemed to really like (if the number of exclamation points is anything to go by; still didn't remove the tag, though, sigh). I truly respect the people who donate their time and effort here, and like the idea that we can cooperate in general, even if we disagree on some details.

I can read Russian fine, but The Life of Jesus doesn't appeal as much, at least partly because ... well, I haven't spoken to a Rabbi in years, but ... So, I think I'll look into Trilby ou le Lutin d'Argail, as I like fantasy at times. I can also read French somewhat though you wouldn't want to see me write in it. I'll start it at User:GRuban/Trilby, but there may not be much there for some time. When I get some traction on a draft, I'll ping you and you can have a look if you like. Don't know if that will be days or months, though, and if you get the urge to do it yourself before I've done much, just say. --GRuban (talk) 17:10, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

The Golden Dream or Dougal and Jeanie from Trilby?

And ... I already lied! (Proving that prediction is very difficult, especially of the future.) I haven't lied in that I haven't written much, but I already want to consult with you. I found some images. Though you can't tell from Yulia Tolopa, I really like images. However, I think one of the images is misidentified, and I'd like to confer with someone who cares, who is hopefully you. https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/titles/contes-de-charles-nodier/ is a list of 8 beautiful engravings by Tony Johannot of Contes de Charles Nodier, the 1846 edition, which means they are easily in the public domain due to age. This one comes from https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/golden-dream/ where they claim it is called "The Golden Dream" (or, rather Le songe d’or), which is the title of the next story after Trilby in Contes. But I think they got the image identification wrong. I haven't found the 1846 edition, but I did find the 1859 edition scanned in Google Books, which also has all these illustrations, especially this one on page 28 which is still inside Trilby. I believe that it's pretty clearly an illustration of Dougal the fisherman and Jeanie his (debatably faithful) wife, finding the jeweled casket with their fishing boat, which is an important part of Trilby. Here, for example, p. 67 of the first translation. It is in no way an illustration of any part of The Golden Dream, which can be found translated here[1], and which is about some golden coins spread beneath a poisonous Upas tree that are stumbled upon by a succession of male travelers (and a lizard and an angel) - there is no casket, no boat, and especially no woman anywhere in that story. Do you agree? --GRuban (talk) 20:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Here is the 1846 version. The image is in the same place as in the edition you found, clearly within Trilby. You can probably use it as a source for identification on Commons. Ffranc (talk) 13:32, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup! Once more unto the breach ... --GRuban (talk) 13:44, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

On a slightly more related matter, I and another editor have been writing User:GRuban/Maria Berlinska, about another Ukrainian woman warrior. I'm guessing you might have many of the same objections to it as you had to Yulia Tolopa and for the same reasons - or maybe not, since it may address the coverage she got sufficiently? Anyway, I'm being proactive, and asking for your objections before pushing it to mainspace. --GRuban (talk) 13:40, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Just be careful with everything that portrays someone as a war hero (especially when the sources are published during the war), gives an impression of romantic adventure, or comes off as a personal story rather than something relevant for the general public. Ffranc (talk) 12:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Trilby, ready to go

OK, I think I've mostly written it. It's a much more interesting story than I thought it would be! Please review, User:GRuban/Trilby. Specific issues you may want to address:

• The title; I found 4 English language translations, two call it Trilby, the Fairy of Argyll (one with and one without the comma), and two just Trilby. None say "Imp". I would just call it Trilby if I could, but that's the title of a mostly unrelated book (which, in fact, sparked the first two translations! hilarious! that will probably be the DYK hook...), so I think our article title should be Trilby, the Fairy of Argyll, rather than ... Imp ...
• Images. Did I say I like images? I found more beautiful images than I can fit in the article, between ballets and illustrations. Do you think some should go? I can add even more to be honest. Which should be the lead image?
• Analysis. I only found one good analysis source, so the Analysis section is a bit flapping in the wind, but yet I don't think our article is really complete without such a section. Can you find another?
• Publication history. I couldn't find a source that gives a comprehensive publication history; though I can easily find half a dozen publications in Google Books during Nodier's lifetime. Should I just list them?
• Style tweaks - I don't do style, my writing is choppy at best, always has been. It does contain the facts, but without beauty. If you can make the text flow in a few of the worst places, I'll be obliged. And a second pair of eyes is always welcome.

Thank you! This was fun! --GRuban (talk) 19:06, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

I'm fine with any of the titles. I think I got Imp from this edition, not entirely sure though. The subtitle can work as a natural disambiguation but a parenthesis works too, and the primary topic is the hat in either case. I'll try to find some analysis, but probably not in a while. It could be worth mentioning that Nodier in his preface considered it to be separate from romanticism ("No one is more willing than I am to agree that the romantic school is a very bad school"). I would also recommend against using "fantasy" as genre label, as it is anachronistic, associated with conventions from British literature, and can create confusion with the romantic distinction between fancy/fantasy and imagination. "Literary fairy tale" could work, if there is no better term in the sources, or just novella. Ffranc (talk) 12:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! Literary fairy tales is a redirect, but better than nothing so I used it instead of fantasy. I'm afraid I kept the mention of Romanticism as if this isn't a prime example of the school then nothing is. Charles Nodier is clearly described in his article as a major figure of the movement, so methinks his objection in that preface is a case of doth protest too much, and/or the natural tendency of creative types to resist being categorized. Was Edouard Manet an Impressionist? But his comment could certainly be useful to mention in an expanded Analysis section, if there was more than one source for it. And I'm still uncomfortable with not putting in a publishing history, but don't really have a secondary source for it. All that said - pushed live! I think it may not be GA quality or anything, but easily DYK quality, so that's what I'll go for. --GRuban (talk) 14:39, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 May newsletter

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.

Our top scorers in round 2 were:

1. Epicgenius, with 1264 points from 2 featured article, 4 good articles and 18 DYKs. Epicgenius was a finalist last year but has now withdrawn from the contest as he pursues a new career path.
2. AryKun, with 1172 points from two featured articles, one good article and a substantial number of featured article and good article reviews.
3. Bloom6132, with 605 points from 44 in the news items and 4 DYKs.
4. Sammi Brie, with 573 points from 8 GAs and 21 DYKs.
5. Ealdgyth, with 567 points from 11 GAs and 34 good and featured article reviews.
6. Panini!, with 549 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and several other sources.
7. Lee Vilenski, with 545 points from 1 FA, 4 GAs and a number of reviews.

The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.

Binggrae Logo

Hey @Ffranc I moved the discussion here because my DYK submission has been approved now : D. I'm pretty sure the old binggrae logo doesn't violate copyright or the threshold of originality as I found it on namu wiki with the caption that says "it's too simple to be copyright". Most other pictures on that wiki have a caption saying its under limited use and copyrighted, but this one doesn't. I think it'll be ok to use it what do you think? Haiiya (talk) 12:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm not an expert on this at all. But it does have more than just letters and geometrical shapes, and I don't think it's less distinct than some of the examples of protected images listed here. It's ultimately a question for Wikimedia Commons (possibly this discussion page?), but I know little about the nuances and standard procedures here, so I just removed it from the article for now to be on the safe side.

Your opinion about an article you were interested in

Hello Ffranc,

I think your expression of an opinion here would be useful for the further development of the article about Roman Neopaganism.--Æo (talk) 00:07, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

As an aside, I have also seen your well written article about Zorian Dołęga-Chodakowski. Your opinion would also be appreciated here, where a user who produces haphazardly written or translated articles like this one claims that some articles pertaining to Slavic Native Faith are "fringe" and should be deleted.--Æo (talk) 00:36, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Posted a response about the Slavic articles. I'll pass on the Roman discussion for now, because I don't know what a good, stable title would be, and I don't think it's meaningful to keep moving articles around. I've thought about expanding and rewriting polytheistic reconstructionism and eclectic Paganism (and perhaps merge them into one article, since most sources describe them as a continuum), which might help the discussion. But I've yet to find the motivation to do it and the sources I've read so far aren't that great. Ffranc (talk) 10:54, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I think that polytheistic reconstructionism and eclectic Paganism should be merged into modern Paganism. I remember that I myself proposed such merger a few years back, and, as I wrote on that occasion, both concepts seem to have been invented on some internet websites and not to be used by real Pagan communities.--Æo (talk) 12:45, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

They've been used from time to time in various ways, both by organised practitioners and scholars. There are enough sources to support at least a shared article; there are for example five pages about it in Michael Strmiska's Modern Paganism in World Cultures (18-22). But I haven't found any good source that talks about the histories of the terms. Strmiska only talks about the perceived conflict between different approaches. It would be more interesting to outline how the discourse originated and where and when it has been prominent. Fernando Pessoa used the term "reconstruction" in the 1910s and seemed to be ambivalent about it - one of his alter egos used it in a positive manner, another in a dismissive ("Neopaganism" in The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa, Grove Press 2001) - but I haven't seen any scholar bring that up. Ffranc (talk) 13:57, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

It would be indeed interesting to outline where the distinction originated (in the West, as in Eastern Europe such demarcation does not seem to exist) and the history of the two terms, which are, however, generic and may refer to different religions, not only to strictly "Pagan" ones (in Merriam-Webster's definition this term strictly defines "European and Middle-Eastern pre-Christian/pre-Islamic religions"), and in any case are not universally used among Pagans (for instance, in Eastern Europe the term "reconstructionism" refers to historical reenactment without any religious/spiritual meanings, according to the sources I have read about modern Paganism in that region). What is sure is that in their current wretched state the two articles would perform a better function if merged into the main article, where a well written section (Midnightblueowl's work from a few years ago) treats the distinction and the two terms (and alternative ones as well) on the basis of scholarly sources.--Æo (talk) 18:41, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Roman traditional movement

The image in the entry "Roman Traditional Movement" is identical to that of the other wikis, for example of "Via romana agli dei", from this it can be deduced that they correspond, in fact even their title is similar. Instead there is no entry in the other wikis whose title corresponds to "reconstructionist Roman religion".--Paroll (talk) 13:59, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

The article on the Roman Traditional Movement is clearly about the organisation with that name, regardless of what images are used there or in other articles. You have to go by what the articles describe; if a title is flawed, that's a separate issue. Ffranc (talk) 13:10, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 September newsletter

The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For the remaining competitors, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and importantly, before the deadline on October 31st!

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email.
