I believe we have addressed the problems with the article and i have renominated it. If you are the one who reviews it this time, i ask, if the film still has a few bugs, that you put it on hold, rather than quick fail. Thanks. RAP (talk) 23:00 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Jayne Mansfield and Promises! Promises!

I think we are in disagreement about two image alternatives - File:Promises JM.jpg / File:Promises promises poster 02.jpg (essentially the same image, one posted as FU and another as free) and File:Jayne Mansfield and Tommy Noonan in Promises Promises.jpg / File:Promises promises poster 01.jpg. I have but one discomfort - the alternatives may not be free at all. I understand that the posters are not carrying any license, but posters hardly do that, and may not be covered by the law for that. Can the legal aspect be verified? Otherwise we are disagreeing over two sets of non-free images. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 04:11, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

And, hey, how do you do those edit notices? Cool. Do you have to be someone to get that right? If not, I'd have some, too. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 04:17, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I have posted a reply in the commons. I am not convinced yet. But, if you have reasons to be convinced that they are PD images, you can restore them. May be we need to solve the disagreement at Commons first. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 06:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the finding. If that is the case. Please restore the PD images. I am going to DB the non-free ones. Also, I think you can remove the tags at Commons explaining why the tags don't belong. I would be great to find more of Jayne Mansfield's PD images. Cheers. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 05:06, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

How crazy is that?

I've now got more edits to Chrisye than you have! Crazy! Malleus Fatuorum 01:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

• Darn. My English is rusty now. At least it reads much better, thank you. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:59, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

  It's beginning to read pretty well now I think, and if you can get that first support I think you might be home and dry. Fingers and toes crossed for you. Malleus Fatuorum 02:17, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks. I'm looking for extra appendages to cross right now. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:21, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Gotten off on the wrong foot, actually. DYK. I didn't carry myself too well. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:21, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Well I've got no recollection of it all, whatever it was. But anyway, I see that you've just had your first support; all you have to do now is to keep on keeping on top of the review. Malleus Fatuorum 02:51, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

• Yeah, thanks a lot for everything. If I have another article to nominate, would you mind if I asked you to look over the prose? For GA my prose is generally sufficient, but FA... Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:55, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

  Not at all. But you might want to wait to see if my "magic" has worked with Chrisye. :D Malleus Fatuorum 03:00, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Cruft DYK was for March 8

Hi, you promoted DYK Nom Charles Cruft (showman). I reviewed it and made a request (maybe not in the right place) that it be put on March 8 as a special occasion. Is it too late to move it, now that it is in prep? And can you tell me what I could have done to prevent the mistake. Thanks, --Ishtar456 (talk) 12:46, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

• I think it's in queue now, which I can't edit. You could ask at WT:DYK for someone to pull the hook. To prevent any mix ups, once the hook has been approved you can move it to the holding area at the bottom of the page. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:54, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

The reason I did not move was that it says that an admin, has to move it. Thanks--Ishtar456 (talk) 13:00, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

• I'm not an admin either, so I cannot touch it if it is in the queue. I'll post on WT:DYK if you'd rather not. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:02, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Bachelot images

Hi again, I was wondering if you could take another look at the images on Alexis Bachelot, since you last looked at them KAVEBEAR pointed out a couple good images to add and I put them in. I doubt there will be any issues though. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 01:01, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

• Done. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:09, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Another question

I'm not quite clear on the criteria for Featured pictures, but what is the rationale for those massive nominations, like all the member's of a 2012 sports team (or all the baking pictures)? These look like snapshots, not at all featured worthy, IMO. What's the deal on those? MathewTownsend (talk) 01:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

• Sometimes images are considered to have more Encyclopedic Value as a group than individually. It's like the old adage, "greater than the sum of its parts". As such, they are nominated together. As you can see, such nominations can be quite contentious. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:27, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Snapshot of Alicia McCorkmack at 328 × 473 pixels, file size: 28 KB

Alicia McCormack at 2,000 × 1,829 pixels, file size: 2.28 MB

I assume MathewTownsend is talking about the picture on the left being the snapshot? The one on the left was not nominated for featured picture. The one on the right was part of a set and is the highest quality image of its type for profile pictures of water polo players, worth while particularly because it is part of a complete set of pictures for a team and one taken with team permission. It is higher quality than the comparable picture of the person on the official website. Could it be better? Yes. But it is really annoying to see some one's work degenerated as a snapshot. --LauraHale (talk) 00:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

• I can't speak for him, but from what I've seen he is trying to familiarize himself with the FP process. I personally am happy that you and Bidgee could get such high resolution images of the players. I am also heartbroken that my fears for the nomination were realized. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:06, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Your remark on the DYK nominations page

I take exception to the derogatory remark you made on the DYK nominations page for the article Animal navigation. You stated, on the subject of my review, "The article isn't even in the hook! Please do a real review."

To start criticizing someone who is trying to help clear the large backlog of unreviewed nominations for DYK is absolutely unnecessary nor do I think it is warranted in this instance. Are you trying to put me off doing reviews? What about assuming good faith? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:35, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

• I assume good faith, but when you give a tick to an article which isn't even in the hook there's very little doubt that either a) you weren't paying attention or b) you just gave the tick to get the credit without looking at the article. Unless you have a satisfactory explanation for how you could give the nomination a good to go tick without it even being in the hook, my comment stands. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:39, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

• Ah, I see what you are getting at now. I agree it was careless of me to approve a hook that did not include the title of the article. I reviewed the article and the source for the hook but did not consider the hook's wording sufficiently. I still don't like your derogatory comment and think it was unnecessary but am prepared to leave the matter there. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:06, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Khazar's legacy

Thanks for posting to Khazar (look for his name on my talk, more than once), but this is still open. One made it to the stats, and every time I look at his DYK some other problems seem so much smaller. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:24, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

• If it's still open by the time I finish my work in progress, I'll review it. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, brother in arms. If you can take a few of his articles on your watch list, will you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:20, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for a strong image! I hope to live up to it. Replied there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:56, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

How to nominate picture

How do I nominate a candidate for featured picture? Would this be a good candidate? It has an OTRS ticket at the Commons. MathewTownsend (talk) 20:33, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

• It has to be in an article for at least a week first. Perhaps you could try the piano or Steinway & Sons article. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:02, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Spiral staircase in the Alabama State Capitol, designed by Horace King.

• If it were in an article, would it be an appropriate nomination? (I'm unsure of the standards for featured picture.) MathewTownsend (talk) 16:49, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

• Quite probably, yes. Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:58, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

• What about this one. (It has a small tag in the middle - would that disqualify it?) MathewTownsend (talk) 01:34, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

• It's too small. Generally we hope for at least 1000px on one side, although in more is often expected. If that tag is a watermark, then it would have to be removed. If it's in the original picture, then it would probably be a reason for oppose votes. (I've been dealing with watermarks at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Majas all morning.

Asking a favor

Hi There, You are someone that I respect and I was wondering, if you have the time, could you take a peek at Template:Did you know nominations/Chardon High School shooting and if you do not want to do the review, could you give me your take on why people might be avoiding it. It is the subject? Is it too long? Is it me? Considering the article has had over 72,000 views since I started it a week ago, I thought it would be snapped up quickly. I have also been working very hard on the DYK backlog (like swimming up stream) in hopes, in part, of cultivating some good will so that someone might take a look at this.

Also, any tips you can give me on reviewing will be appreciated. I am thinking about sticking around to see about that backlog, but I had a review pulled from prep and I don't want to be that type of reviewer. Thanks in advance. --Ishtar456 (talk) 23:15, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

• I can give it a look later tonight (my time), but right now I'm just checking my nominations before going to work. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I am looking for some of your noms to see if I could lend you a hand, but I'm not find one. Can you give me the names of some?--Ishtar456 (talk) 02:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

I was looking for one of your noms to review it, but I found instead that a review I had done was pulled from the main page. I don't agree with the reason, but I think that this process is not for me after all. I really enjoy writing for DYK and I really wanted to help with the backlog. But I feel like now I am part of the problem so I am withdrawing. If you do not want to get involved with my nom, I understand.--Ishtar456 (talk) 02:56, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

• It happens; I've had the same things happen to me. We should just be careful to always check for plagiarism when possible. I will take a look at your article, I just have a busy schedule. Hopefully in the next couple of minutes I can take a look. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:33, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

I left a message for you on my user talk. I will have plenty of time when I get home to look things over, so do not feel as if any more editing is urgent. I will go through carefully and also look at your noms. Thanks so much.--Ishtar456 (talk) 15:18, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

            • I guess so. Haven't heard back from Monash (probably scared them off when I asked if they had scholarships). I still want to study Indonesia-related topics. Wait, you submitted your intent to submit paperwork? What a bureaucracy! Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:30, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
              • If you want a scholarship, you really need to find an advertisement for a student like the one below or check pages like this. Beyond that, you find the specific department and supervisor you want like this one , tell them your general background and ask if they have any funded research opportunities for PhD students. That is the system in Australia. As for my intent to submit, yes, I need to file paperwork so they can make sure they know who my assessors will be, will be able to contact the assessors in advance (set up things like what their postal address is and how to pay them their stipend), make sure they have some one in the office, use this when giving your completion seminar, etc. The paperwork also confirms how your research will be presented by the university at graduation, where your dissertation will be distributed. Very important. You just can't rock up and expect them to be ready to assess your dissertation. :) --LauraHale (talk) 06:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
