This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.
Please note that there is a new system for nominating DYKs; your recent nomination was posted using the old system. I went ahead and re-nominated it using the old system for you; in the future, please make sure to use the new system. I have tried to make the instructions as clear as possible; if you find them confusing, feel free to ask me for help.
For your reference, here is how I posted your nomination using the new system:
At that page I made this, using the following code for the template:
{{subst:NewDYKnom2
| article = Toposa People
| article2 = Nadapal
| article3 = Narus, South Sudan
| hook = ... that the '''[[Toposa people]]''' of '''[[Nadapal]]''' must walk four hours to reach the nearest secondary school at '''[[Narus, South Sudan]]''' ....?
| status = expanded
| author = Aymatth2
| author2 =
| nominator =
| image =
| caption =
| comment = I will review 2 more. The hook is in [[Nadapal]], fourth reference (USAID assessement)
| reviewed = Styles and themes of Robert E. Howard
| revieweddiff =
}}
I posted the nomination page at T:TDYK, by pasting in {{Template talk:Did you know/Toposa People, Nadapal, Narus, South Sudan}}, here.

DYK nomination of Toposa People, Nadapal, Narus, South Sudan
Considering your work on Marcomannia, I have given you a DYK Make credit as well. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:13, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
That's what Rjanag and Gatoclass say, and they've been active at DYK for quite a while. I hope they are correct. WT:DYK has calmed down a bit recently, but it's still not a safe place for newcomers. The current fiasco reminds me of the image at WP:LAME; most of those involved are respected, but are taking sides that are the polar opposite of each other, and newer editors are caught in the middle. Thanks for trying to help with the stalled noms; I've seen you take up a couple other ones too. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:25, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Marcomannia
On 16 August 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Marcomannia, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Marcus Aurelius wanted to create a new Roman province called Marcomannia in what is now Slovakia? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Hi Aymatth, I have reviewed your nomination for Riek Machar at Template talk:Did you know/Rick Machar and it does seem to be long enough. Could you look into it and reply on the nomination page? Thanks. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:35, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
On 18 August 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Toposa people, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that, in 2007, for the Toposa(pictured) and other children from Nadapal the nearest secondary school was 25 km (16 mi) away at Narus, South Sudan? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

You are doing some admirable work on South Sudan Aymatth. Mongalla, South Sudan is incredible for an article on a town in South Sudan. Spotted it on a google map to see if we had an article and not only that but something surely of GA quality. Keep up your excellent work I'd give you a barnstar but I don't think you rate barnstars very highly.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:25, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I think its time many of your articles were posted at GA. Do you agree?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:46, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Gah, DYK. Its sort of like a war torn battle ground after a civil war at the moment, I see you noticed. It sort of had a scathing attack and every contributor who has ever contributed to DYK attacked and seen as some sort of vermin it seems because a few articles daily have some issues like plagiarism, bad sources/POV etc. And one of DYKs most prolific editors User:Billy Hawthorn banned indefinitely from DYK (he creates content like Pap Dean)... I'm keeping well away at the moment. If you see the history of Wikipedia talk:Did you know in the last few weeks you'll kind of understand why a lot of people are upset. I'm personally not bothered by what Sandy said as I know mnay of us have produced GAs even FAs and are capable editors. But in situation where it is being increasingly unattractive for editors to bother that's not good, even if I agree that DYK quality needs to improve.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I agree. The "issue" is that the low quality threshold permitted a number of copyvios and articles with bad sourcing to hit the front page of encyclopedia when the front page, according to the FA group, is supposed to be "exemplary with our best work". They see DYK as an embarrassement and an example of wikipedia's worst work. That is the conflict and why it is mostly the FA reviewers who have been most anti-DYK. GA is very important I think because it means the article has been formally checked and at least has some sort of assessment. I think a great number of your articles, particularly those on subjects where info is quite lacking, could pass GA very easily. They don't have to be anywhere near perfect, just a soundly written article which summarises the main points well with solid sourcing, which you nearly always meet anyway. Please consider it, the ten minutes or so often needed to read the reviewers comments and address them is well worth it if it means our GA bank has a higher number of articles on African topics which it is almost completely devoid of right now. Quality and Africa rarely go together, which is why I consider you one of our most valuable editors.. I'd be more than happy to help you get the articles beyond the GA level. Perhaps if we start with a few you'll get into it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:15, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Can you add citations to where I've marked on Adar oilfield, most of them are the usual controversial type claims which need backing. I think it would be ready for GAR then.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:43, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Please don't feel pressured or backed into a corner. Yes, some of the minor things needed for GA might seme a bit trivial or pointless to you but I honestly think the end result is worth it. I can see you are still dubious, but GA requires minimum effort compared to the farce that is FAC. I agree that many of your articles are a little rough around the edges and not all could pass GA but you do have many articles on quite a rnage of subjects which provide a satidfactory coverage for GA. Remember that the articles needn't even be particularly comprehensive for GA, just covering the main points using the knowledge that exists about it and fairly well written/sourced.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:58, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Good Article promotion
Congratulations!
Congratulations are in order for all the work you did in making Mongalla, South Sudan a certified "Good Article"! Thank you; your work is much appreciated. Hope to see many more of your articles pass but I don't want you to feel hounded or compelled to make every article you write a GA.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Well done! Perhaps you could list your good articles on your user page to keep track of them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:27, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Mmm, or Ambrosden and Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is more important? I've generated a User:Aymatth2/Articles for the purpose of finding the many "gems" you've written which could pass GA. If you do not want such a list and feel uncomfortable with it please say so and I will delete it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:06, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Adar oilfield now looks a sound summary, I've nominated it. Thankyou for adding those refs. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Yes that was the reason I asked as I didn't want you to feel pressured that you had to develop any or that some articles may have been forgotten about. I think its a positive thing to review your past work though and remember subjects you've written about which you'd forgotten!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:21, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Adar oilfield GAR has begun. Where is the American persons forbidden claim in here?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:10, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
"Soon after Chevron had closed operations, government troops began attacking civilian settlements in the area" Which government? Sudanese I gather?♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:47, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
See, there you go we now have two African GAs. I know you don't appear to place much value on GAs but please consider it. Anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:24, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Never ceases to amaze me how quickly you can produce good content. Very well done. Maybe you could rub your researching skills off on the authors of the Jennifer Connelly article, an FA candidate in which the author didn't even look in google books.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:58, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Oh yes I agree. I sort of compare it to eating bubble gum and a Big Mac instead of a proper meal.. OK in moderation to long as you mostly eat a well balanced proper meal..♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:27, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. – Quadell(talk) 13:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
This article is fascinating, and has many strengths: it's thorough, has many informative sources, and is full of good prose. On the other hand, there are many places where improvements are needed: there are neutrality issues, I have questions about some sourcing, and, most importantly, there are places that are unclear or where background information is needed. This is one of those odd GA nominations that are quite close in one sense, but where nearly every paragraph has room for improvement. It's going to take a lot of effort to fix all the issues I'm identifying. Do you think you're up for it? Some people just want to nominate articles and then have a hands-off approach, and I don't want to go through the trouble of identifying and typing up a thorough review if no one will act on it. So what's you participation level, do you think? All the best, – Quadell(talk) 18:06, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Awesome stuff. Had no idea about the uni AFD, although admittedly I couldn't find a physical location either..♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:31, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Impressively done. User:PericlesofAthens would be the number one choice. I envisaged seeing a Ming dynasty type article for it. But I believe he is working nowadays and no time for wikipedia..♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:14, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Better source request for File:CHRI-Logo.gif

Attlee
Ha! Yes, quite, thanks for the message. I am now haunted by the fear that we might need to try to keep a balance if other versions start appearing with three or four Ts, or even 0. Is a negative number possible?? It's a worrying thought - the maths would defeat me! Thank you very much for making me smile, and happy editing! Cheers DBaK (talk) 19:35, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Balmaclellan
Your lovely Balmaclellan photo gave me a bit of a turn - it looks incredibly like Embleton, Northumberland, a place I know rather well. Really stopped me in my tracks for a second there. Have a good time! Cheers DBaK (talk) 23:22, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Gosh yes, I see what you mean. The similar bit is Embleton's old village centre, but it looks like it acquired the later sprawl which Balmaclellan avoided! Enjoy. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 06:49, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
A note of appreciation
The Africa Award
For your amazing work in updating, organizing, and improving a wide range of articles relating to the history of the African continent, I award you the prestigious Africa Award. Your work is highly appreciated, and I'd love to help with anything you work on in the future. All the best, – Quadell(talk) 19:58, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, which makes the current scenario look extremely crap for the Congo doesn't it... Well, if you could of course manage to compile info to write articles about territories when you feel like this would be great... If you could categorize though like Mambasa Territory is now, they aren't settlements of course. I created Template:Economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo a while back. There's lots of agricultural case studies missing of course on the main industries. I'll try to start the Coffee one and some others sometime.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:43, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Indeed and looking a the world map in front of me on the wall, not kidding, just like Blofeld's, DRC is almost at the centre of the world and is vast in size!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:58, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
info boxes
Hi,
If you like, there's an 'ethnicity=' parameter in the language info boxes to help interconnect the articles, as here. Sometimes I get that done, but I'm not familiar with the ethnology articles. — kwami (talk) 14:13, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Oh, no problem. I think the idea was that for ethnolinguistic groups, the language and people articles should be easily accessible from each other, not that we should add a link to every ethnicity that's adopted Spanish or Arabic. But of course we can add more than one link when that makes sense. The parameter is also supported by the language family info box, for when a people such as the Ibgo speak several related languages. And since the language articles all link to each other through their families, that might be a handy way to navigate the ethnicity articles. — kwami (talk) 14:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
I wasn't advocating something similar for ethnic groups. I just thought that if you want to navigate ethnolinguistically, you could do so through the language articles, assuming they then link back to the ethnicity articles. Having the links in the info boxes just makes it easier to navigate that way. And of course people looking up a language might be interested in the people who speak it. — kwami (talk) 15:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I doubt that a similar tree for ethnicities would be workable, except for the categories we already have. There are sporadic attempts to make articles on language-family proposals as if they were people, but IMO they are generally nonsensical. — kwami (talk) 05:26, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
A kitten for you, Aymatth
Thanks for always assuming good faith here on Wikipedia and pointing out what is right and wrong. We are very glad you are here! This kitten is too. ;)
Hi Aymatth2! I'm very pleased to see that someone has made some edits to the Basankusu page. It's been a bit of a one-man-band so far - even though about twenty people promised to edit it when I originally started it.
However, you have misnamed one of the rivers as Lopiro; it should be Lopori. I hope you don't mind if I change it back.
Best wishes Francis Hannaway Francis Hannaway 08:39, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind reply. Time permitting, I'll help you shine some light there :)
(Mbandaka is quite good, too.) Have you spent some time in the DRC? Francis Hannaway 15:17, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
Quite right! :) I was just curious. Francis Hannaway 16:10, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, reckon you can find anything on this?♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:12, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Greatly appreciated, thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:49, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Can you categorize territories like this. The populated places are reserved for towns and villages..
BTW you might find this site useful for finding the sectors and groupements of each territory as well as population/area data.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:27, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Will look into both although compiling the chiefdom list will take a few hours. Sorry to add the red link but it was a major landmark on the google map view.♦ Dr. Blofeld
Mmm, possible, I couldn't find anything in google books about him. Do we have an article on the conflict of 2001?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:54, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Your post implies that every article I create is devoid of any information! Perhaps then you could give this meager stub some TLC. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Sometimes get carried away when there are masses of red links. But I agree a fact or two would be appropriate as a start. An article should really contain a fact or two... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:59, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Also started Sullubawa which you might have heard of, being a Nigeriaologist.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:22, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Eh, I agree. But the map which I'm getting the names from doesn't say whether its a sector ot chiefdom so I can't link them like that As you seem to have access to which is which perhaps you could add them?.10:22, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

DYK for George Flett
On 6 November 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article George Flett, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that George Flett was a farmer, gold prospector, trader and politician before becoming a missionary? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/George Flett.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Another alternative I'd like to see is for dablinks to be a different color, so the editor knows immediately when they've created one. But, this isn't going to happen any time soon, so I'm hoping the messages are an acceptable option. I believe most editors would honestly appreciate to know about any dablinks they've created. That belief will soon be put to the test, and your note was certainly encouraging. Cheers, --JaGatalk 01:55, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Hey
Hello! I was just looking at the DYK section and saw you as an author of one of them. I wonder how old are you? (i'm not trying to be rude) I saw your picture on your user page. I'm guessing you probably the oldest person i have ever known that is a contributor in Wikipedia. That's my compliment. I think it's really cool for someone in your generation to become a contributor in Wikipedia. I appreciate your hard work even though you are not as young as most people but your work is better than most. Good luck and enjoy your life. (hope you can live surpass the Guiness record HAA)Trongphu (talk) 05:39, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Pweto
On 11 November 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pweto, which you created or substantially expanded.

@ Trongphu, LOL he's not that old, anybody would think he was like 90 or something!! I'm guessing sixty something? About Harrison Ford's age I reckon... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:39, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.
Notable?♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:53, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
No idea, but I gather there are a few rivers and villages on Java with that name.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Dunno, needs some detective work. Image appreciated will surely be put to good use if we can works things out! I just started Pameungpeuk and there's definitely a river of that name Ci Kaso flowing past it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:01, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Yes, that waterfall is on the river which is the subject of the AFD I think. Cikaso River is Kaso River, I believe Ci means river in local language?♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:28, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for approving the Dyk. I've made a few cosmetic changes since. Fyi, Miller and Rollnick(2002) was the only source that I used my own copy for. The rest were found through googling. Your general point about linkages etc is right. The coverage of psychological and social worky things is quite poor and I may use some of my assorted books to help build things up.--Peter cohen (talk) 02:48, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

DYK issue
Hi Aymatth. Since you participated in a previous discussion regarding reuse of PD text in DYK submissions, you may be interested in contributing to a recent discussion on the same topic, here, or the proposal which follows it. Regards, Gatoclass (talk) 01:36, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

... Do you think the articles should be at North Kivu and South Kivu or Nord-Kivu and Sud-Kivu? I found it kind of weird that they were the only two province articles that translated the words into English. Good Ol’factory(talk) 04:18, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello
Hello ! I think that the list of towns in the province articles are too much. I don't see comparable lists in other countries. I don't think that readers come here to see a list of small towns. However, we could improve the province articles by adding more content on the geography section of the province, for example. Thank you. Mightymights (talk) 16:28, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
I moved the city of Bandundu to Bandundu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. We should now moveBandundu Province to Bandundu, since "Bandundu" is overwhelmingly associated with the province. We could also do the same thing with Katanga and Orientale. What do you think ? Mightymights (talk) 11:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Kwilu River, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bandundu (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Presbytery of Relief
Thanks so much for creating this article - it's very helpful. Rather than go through WP:RM, I thought it would be easier to ask you - can the article be moved to Relief Church? I notice that phrase has 17,000 hits on Google Books (and 80,000 altogether) as opposed to 6,000 for "Presbytery of Relief". StAnselm (talk) 21:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
U Do Burmese
From painters to writers. You might care to cast an eye in the direction of Myoma Myint Kywe (AfD discussion) and see whether there's anything that you can do.
Similarly, there's a laundry list of people in Burma National Literature Award (that 203.189.154.32 (talk·contribs) simply scribbled into a whole load of articles in May 2011) that needs checking. Who on that list actually received the award? Uncle G (talk) 08:16, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm thinking you are the unknown perpetrator of the weird edits of Myoma Myint Kywe. I saw you create Daw Win Win Myint, another writer. I was wondering why no Sumo wresting championship or the mother of octuplets? :)
I try and look over all new living biographies everyday. However, you may want to start adding the DEFAULTSORT key yourself. There are bots and people who don't about Burmese naming convention and set the DEFAULTSORT wrong. Bgwhite (talk) 05:50, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello Aymatth2,
I added a bunch of links recently to the cameroon line article - which seems to have a lot of problems with multiple names for each of teh volcanic edifices. Anyway I noticed you removed the link to Luba,_Equatorial_Guinea - the reason I inserted the link was that the linked article says "Luba (formerly San Carlos)" which suggests that Gran Caldera de Luba is probably a synonym for San Carlos (volcano) especially given the rest of the context - but I guess I need to go chase around on the smithsonian global volcanism webpage to find confirmation that it's a synonym.

African films
I see a mass series of AFDs on recently created African films. Googling a few of them there do appear to be a few mention in sources. I awarded the creator a barnstar for his efforts in the belief they met notability requirements. Any thoughts?♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:23, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Aymatth2 and Nmisra Guys how can this be a part of "pursuit of anti-minority agenda in some school". this is world's largest volunteer education movement. Show me a parallel to just the number of schools they run by anyone else. Minorities in INDIA around 20% - have a look at this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHyEkMa1tUg. Aymatth2 and Nmisra of you should correct the lead section. There was one more question I saw from Aymatth2 Central India govt may have stopped the aid but local state govt support in a lot of state. Reasons are the incumbent government which funded these schools was replaced by a different one which may have a different priorities. They may come back to power again. Its the same as Republicans vs Democrats in US or Labor vs Conservatives in UK, different govt have different priorities. But at the end of day this is a volunteer effort and does not require any govt to support them. Hope this helps and one of you Aymatth2 or Nmisra can correct the lead section.

Yeah it seems unlikely. Yeah most Spanish wiki articles are unsourced sadly. I've had to remove a lot of material from my translations in the past because I couldn't verify it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:02, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Oh yeah. But I'm talking about entire paragraphs with original research. A few lines I usually find fine but if I can't source big chunky paragraph I usually end up leaving it out as I usually nominate them for DYK and of course its expected to be fully sourced..♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:20, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for translating this btw! I had seen the prod and intended to remove it and translate it, but hadn't gotten around to it yet...

his proposal and i wrote i hope a correct explaination of what P Syll suggested as a proposal on Talk:Lars Pålsson Syll.I think though one should not take it as a definite proposal,i think his main point is to create at a debate to get the wheel in economy started and this is one of his suggestions to create Low Interest Rates but he is openminded on how to reach that goal.But as fare as i see he advocate low Interest Rates mostly.But i could be wrong.My best regards and all the best to you. --J.

Your system of referencing irritates me LOL. It disrupts the article when you come to edit it when they are on each line, much tidier when they're all on one line, and that ref bunching beneath the refs at the bottom is dated now!!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation. I personally find the refs on each line which was more common a few years back on here bloating, and for me at least it makes it harder to follow and find text as there's more to scroll down. Doesn't make any difference to the reader though as you say. I also format the dates in writing as my google book ref tool maker does it that way and I see the majority of editors are formatting them that way. I used to do the 2010-06-03 thing though. I don't think there's any standard or rule on it, so long as they are consistent in articles. but the ref bunching under refs I find confusing. That's my opinion anyway! I've contacted Tamara Benitez requesting some photos even videos so we may be lucky.. BTW if you want the google books and google book ref maker linked in your itinary (which makes things a lot quicker and easier, see the directions on User talk:Smarojit#Another barnstar for you!. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
The reason I said is that above all it looks like it takes you a lot of time to make the references that's al, when they had be quickly made on the ref tool maker. The explanation of placing authors surname first and first name last on the google book ref maker where it says Author just click "or" and it'll swap it around. Have a go at using it, it was a big relief for me I must say. On any topic I simply google book search something Like "William Burges glass" and find refs like that and paste urls in rapid succession into the tool maker and paste em into the article. It also enables me to quickly source unsourced articles I come across. It should greatly help you I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:53, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Forgot to nominate Tamara Benitez and Minsan Pa. Never mind, at least we now have a photo and the article was kept..♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:54, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Translated Marcel Anselme, was on a list of missing notable French painters, but I can't find anything solid on him. Can you find something?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Judging by her face and surname I'd say she's almost full blooded Spanish in descent, maybe she is a quarter Asian.. A half Asian half Spanish looks like this. I think I'll start another film later.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:21, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).
