Tallis 2021

Happy belated new year! Have found this monster of a source which may be of some use. Am collecting sources now to work on the reception/legacy section. It seems that Tallis lived an abnormally long life, which comes with its benefits and issues for writing about I suppose. Aza24 (talk) 05:13, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP 20

Thank you for good wishes! - Happy Wikipedia 20, - proud of a little bit on the Main page today, and 5 years ago, and 10 years ago, look: create a new style - revive - complete! I sang in the revival mentioned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:07, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tallis

Hello! Have I gone bonkers here? Do shout at me if yes. Thanks for all your hard work on TT. Cheers DBaK (talk) 18:03, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered: No, BonkersDisillusionedBitterAndKnackered doesn't sound right to me... However I remove all duplicated links and the current version of the article now has four,including Dover Priory and Benedictine—if you don't mind I'll remove them all. Amitchell125 (talk) 18:28, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good grief. Sorry. I would have sworn that I was avoiding dupes. Sorry. It's a User Incompetence Issue. Sheesh. Sorry again. Best wishes (and sorry) DBaK (talk) 18:31, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Follow-up - I have made a further minor edit to mention Dover earlier, and to take out a bad "the". I hope that's OK. Cheers DBaK (talk) 18:37, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered: No worries, I'm rewriting some of the article at present, any help is much appreciated. Amitchell125 (talk) 18:43, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Emily Stannard

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Emily Stannard 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. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Ealdgyth -- Ealdgyth (talk) 18:21, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Amitchell125, hope you're doing well—and hopefully enjoying (or at least weathering) the uptick in interest in the Sutton Hoo-related articles, now that The Dig is out there. I actually thought of you because of your work in this space, and wondered if you might be interested in taking a brief look at the article about the archaeologist Martin Rundkvist (currently at User:Usernameunique/Martin Rundkvist)? Chiswick Chap and I have been building it out, and plan to bring it to mainspace (with a concurrent good-article nomination) shortly. The article's lost at AfD twice already, so having your added review would help place it in the best possible shape this time around. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 02:46, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernameunique: Hi, I've read the text through and the prose is written to a high standard, and made for an interesting read.
A concern I have would be about some of the trivial information included (a few examples: "primarily in the suburbs Fisksätra and Saltsjöbaden"; "In 2001, Rundkvist won several games on the Swedish version of the television show Jeopardy!."; "Rundkvist is a member of the Internationales Sachsensymposion."). Another concern would be that the contents of his published books are discussed, and the opinions of various reviewers of his books are included.
The lead section falls short of convincing me of his notability ("Rundkvist has studied and excavated various sites in Sweden, particularly in the country's South."; "which the James Randi Educational Foundation terms "the most-read archaeology blog on the Internet""). Is he an authority on an aspect of his subject? What is his best known work? Can the 'Awards and distinctions' section be expanded at all? Hope this helps. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 21:48, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much for those comments! We've taken a crack at them—principally by revising the lead to try to make the notability more clear in the lead, and by deleting some of the extraneous facts. What is your concern about discussing the contents and reviews of his books? Given that he's (among other things) an author, I would think that would be par for the course. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:24, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

Hello, Amitchell! I notice you have added a new parameter, if that's the right word, to all the source citations chez Arthur Sullivan. I wonder if you would explain to me what they are for and if I should be adding the same things to the many lists of sources I have added to WP over the years? Greatly obliged if you will enlighten me: I am, I think, better at content than at WP formatting. I'll watch this page for any thoughts you may have. Best wishes, Tim riley talk 19:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Tim riley:, the '|ref=none' I added to all the sources this evening (whilst listening to Patience Act I to help relieve the monotony) stops error messages appearing. Using the H.M.S. Pinafore article as an example, the following text appears at the top of the Sources section: Ainger, Michael (2002). Gilbert and Sullivan – A Dual Biography. Oxford University Press. ISBN 0-19-514769-3. Harv warning: There is no link pointing to this citation. The anchor is named CITEREFAinger2002. This happens if an article doesn't use the Harvard citation style, which I use, but many other editors don't. The '|ref=none' bit magically removes the error message, without changing the article in any other way. Hope this helps. Amitchell125 (talk) 20:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for that. I shall ponder. The Harvard style is too hard for me, and I stick to my early Bronze Age manual formatting. Which recording of Patience? Tim riley talk 20:49, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was bullied into using Harvard many years ago by an editor reviewing one of my articles, and now it's hard to use other styles. The D'Oyly Carte recording on YouTube is the one I was listening to. Amitchell125 (talk) 20:55, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! I saw that production in the 1960s when I was a youth. Anyone who likes it may count himself my friend, whatever he thinks of my abilities at citation. Tim riley talk 21:36, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have just seen that you have someone up for FAC with connexions to Gunton. As one of my oldest friends lives at Gunton Hall I shall feel obliged to look in at the FAC page, though in general I steer well clear of it these days. See you there over the next day or so. Tim riley talk 22:01, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Emily Stannard

The article Emily Stannard you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Emily Stannard for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Ealdgyth -- Ealdgyth (talk) 16:41, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Someone removed information from your /information subpage

Hi,

I'd just like to let you know that I saw your /information subpage because it was accidentally categorised in Category:Cleanup templates. I've fixed that, but I noticed in the history that someone removed information from the list of articles you've worked on (Diff). Just wanted to let you know of this in case it was vandalism. Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 07:28, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate links

Dear Amitchell125,

I'm writing to you because I am concerned about your recent edits at History of science. You have removed a lot of duplicate links, which is of course in line with the mos:duplink policy, but you appear to have been doing this in such a systematic and non-discriminating way, that I fear you may have left the article less helpful for it. For example, while it is very helpful to remove a duplicate link to Sanskrit in the very next sentence after which it first occurred (as you did here), removing it when it reoccurs fifteen (!) sections further (as you did here) is potentially a lot less helpful.

Remember that the rationale for keeping the "only once in an article" clause in the guideline is to structurally combat overlinking (see, e.g., the Rfc here). But if helpful, links may of course be repeated (especially when far apart, see again the Rfc), and I just wonder whether you are taking this into consideration every time you remove a duplicate link?

Sincerely, Apaugasma (talk|contribs) 21:55, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Apaugasma, the article seems to be in bad shape generally, and the excessive overlinking is just one aspect that needs attention. Whilst I fully understand your point, I would refer you to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking, which is clear about the use of links, whether the number of sections an article has is large or not.. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 22:07, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this particular article is in bad shape, and that reducing overlinking is one of the ways to improve things a bit, but my concern is rather for the general effect of systematically removing all duplicate links, in all articles. If you ever have some spare time, it would be great if you could take a look at the RfC I linked above. Many thanks, Apaugasma (talk|contribs) 22:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Apaugasma, One way of dealing with saturated overlinking is to remove all the duplications (which are often put in by someone whose knowledge of the WP:MOS is slight) and then replace those that are particularly helpful to the reader. The discussion you referred me to might not be read by a GAN reviewer, even an experienced one like me, but I agree that reviewers are sympathetic to the use of a few carefully chosen duplicate links. There's little of that kind of sympathy at FAC level, I fear :) Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 22:55, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of Thomas Erpingham

Congratulations, Amitchell125! The article you nominated, Thomas Erpingham, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.
This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:10, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

R. A. B. Mynors, again

Hi Amitchell125, I hope you're doing well. I am currently preparing R. A. B. Mynors for an FA candidacy and I've been trying to get feedback from those with experience in the process (peer review etc.). Since you were the article's GA reviewer and have nominated a number of FAs, I thought I'd ask for your advice. Might it be possible for you to have look at the article and give me some feedback with a view to FAC? I would be very grateful for any input. All the best, Modussiccandi (talk) 22:50, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

  • If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.
  • If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:32, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

R. A. B. Mynors, fac

Hi Amitchell125 , I hope you are doing fine. I'm contacting you because you contributed to the peer review on R. A. B. Mynors. I'd like to ask whether you'd be willing to also add a review to the article's FAC page. Best wishes and thanks for your comments on the article so far, Modussiccandi (talk) 13:24, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Modussiccandi, like you I am not an expert at producing FA articles and so have not yet committed myself to commenting about any FAC. My apologies for not offering to help more. Amitchell125 (talk) 14:10, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021 GAN Backlog drive

Thank you for completing 5 reviews in the March 2021 backlog drive. Your work helped us reduce the backlog by over 52%. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 13:10, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing!

Hi, I just wanted to thank you again for the review at Skathi (moon). I overhauled that particular page because it was a stub that was getting (literally) unbelievable pageviews, and it was really satisfying to have it move through the process so quickly after nomination. I've also never done a GA review before because first I wanted to be on the receiving end of a few reviews before I gave one out, and now I feel like your process gave me a much clearer sense of what's involved, so I think I'll go review some pages! Thanks again :) - Astrophobe (talk) 17:35, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are very welcome, Astrophobe, it's definitely worth being involved with the GA review process. Many thanks for your kind comments, Amitchell125 (talk) 17:47, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ISBNs

Please be careful about converting ISBN-10 numbers to ISBN 13 numbers - we should add the ISBN number if it is actually given by the book - see Wikipedia:ISBN#Types - "However, if an older work only lists an ISBN-10, use that in citations instead of calculating an ISBN-13 for it. This is because ISBNs are often used as search strings and checksum differences between the two forms make it difficult to find items listed only under the other type." - in particular, someone checking the references cannot easily tell whether they are consulting the same edition as that cited if the ISBN number isn't the one listed in the book.Nigel Ish (talk) 21:03, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

golden sun

Thank you for daring to pick up Die güldne Sonne once more. Something seems strange in the numbering, archive 2 was deleted at some time, and we now have archive 3. Could that perhaps be changed before we proceed? - Other: you closed GANs saying the author was "banned", but at this point, it should read "blocked", or did I miss something? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gerda Arendt, I'll amend banned, as 'blocked' is correct. I'll see what happens when I amend the archive number, but it didn't accept '2' before. Amitchell125 (talk) 09:41, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda Arendt, not sure how to amend banned to 'blocked', so I'm leaving it until someone who knows how does it for me. AM
It didn't even need amendment, just wanted to know if I missed something. - We now have Talk:Die güldne Sonne voll Freud und Wonne/GA2 AND Talk:Die güldne Sonne voll Freud und Wonne/GA3, - I suggest we stick to GA2 and delete the other, and fix links, all to GA2. I guess better you do that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:26, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In 793 the vulnerability of the English east coast was exposed when the monastery at Lindisfarne was looted by Vikings, and a year later Jarrow was also attacked, which the historian Steven Plunkett reasons would ensure that East Anglia was governed firmly.

I'm afraid I have no idea what that sentence intends. Any idea from memory? Shenme (talk) 01:26, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On to it, Shenme, Thanks for spotting it. Amitchell125 (talk) 12:55, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Æthelberht II of East Anglia

@Amitchell125: Greetings! I saw some CN-tags in the GA Æthelberht II of East Anglia, which I saw you contributed to it a lot. Could you perhaps take care of the tags when you have time? Cheers. Wretchskull (talk) 07:00, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wretchskull, I've got Plunkett on a shelf still, so I'll take a look. Amitchell125 (talk) 07:27, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Wretchskull:, the tags are now sorted, and the article has been updated with new sources and extra information! Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 15:58, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update Map

Hi Amitchell125, you told me to leave you message on your talk page if my map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause#/media/File:Countries_where_the_president_is_always_a_natural-born_citizen.svg needs to be updated. i found that out that Ghana and Uganda has the same laws, so it needs to be added into the map. thanks again.

Map updated, thanks for letting me know. Amitchell125 (talk) 13:05, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File:Countries where the president is always a natural-born citizen.svg

Hi. See the edit summary here. I've reverted the addition in the image caption there, AGF, but I have no idea about the point raised about the map. Cheers. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 10:07, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually You are half wrong and half right, Finland may be added in the map but Belarus is also on the list becouse the president candidate must be a Belarusian citizen by birth. so Belarus stays but finland can be added. La lopi (talk) 11:59, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Finland added. Amitchell125 (talk) 13:08, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
