A query on attribution

Hi! This is a query about attribution of opnion. In a current FAC, (please see this diff) I commented on the need of attribution for a comment in the article (the sentence in question: In 1883, it was described as a "disgrace to the county. It could hardly be in a worse condition... and should be repaired immediately.").

What is your opinion on this? I mean, need for attribution for sucha comment? I ask you this because we came across this question of attribution during Mother India peer review where you rightly suggested for attribution for opinions, even though there are footnotes.

It's not a request to comment on that FAC! Just for my own clarification :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

• Yeah, we do, per WP:INTEXT. Quoted at the FAC — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:40, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

• Yes, it is great to know the exact guideline. Thanks a lot. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 01:04, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know/Preparation area 4

You might want to double check your math(s). By my calculations the set in Prep 4 should appear on the Main page as part of the 16:00 (UTC) update on March 31 (Easter Sunday). --Allen3 ^talk 16:14, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• The table at the top of WP:DYKQ gives 1 April at Midnight. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:15, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• And now it doesn't... yay. Alright, we can pump the set back a slot after one is promoted. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:16, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

  You probably did your check while ‎DYKUpdateBot was in the middle of an update (15 to 20 minutes ago). {{Did you know/Queue/LocalUpdateTimes}} can be a little funky with the times reported during the middle of an update. --Allen3 ^talk 16:24, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

  Sounds about right. Thanks for the heads up. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:25, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Gordon R. Thompson

You've promoted that on the basis of the original hook, but there was agreement that the ALT1 hook should be used. Valenciano (talk) 16:30, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• I don't see "agreement", but sure. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:32, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Aaaaaah! I have no idea what is going on!

Hey,

I was thinking that seeing as we have 3 pictures for Easter, and there are three prep areas in which it will be Easter for some readership, that we should have those pictures up. April Fools has 3 slots where it's April 1st for people too. Surely Gibraltar can come up as soon as those dates are over? Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 16:35, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• Those Easter poles look terrible at 100px, so I deliberately didn't use it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:36, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Do we get discretion on that then? It was a-oked at the nomination. (There's no way to ask that question online that doesn't sound passive-aggressive so please believe me when I say I genuinely want to know} Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 16:39, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• Yeah, we've got discretion. "Not every submitted picture can be featured in the picture slot of course," at WP:DYKSG, which also says we should save the good images so they can run. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:42, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Crisco -- you promoted my Burleydam hook just now, but it seems to have got lost? Probably the headache of Easter & April Fools? I'll be offline over much of Easter, so keen for it not to get lost for ever. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 16:58, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Cheers. After a break something always falls through the cracks! Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 21:30, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Espresso Addict, I'm sure we'll find a way to get it in. Maybe we should pull it back so it can run after April Fools, when you're back, rather than try to squeeze it in before hand? On the other hand, if a hook has to be removed from a set because of some issue or other, we have a ready-made replacement, though that would likely be for an Easter Sunday prep area, which seems less than ideal if you're not around to see it... BlueMoonset (talk) 23:39, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• It likely got lost between the edit conflicts while I was promoting. I'll undo my promotion of the hook now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:48, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/National colours of New Zealand

Regarding this nomination, why do you consider the ALT hooks "too April Foolsy". I can understand if perhaps the obfuscation [[National colours of New Zealand|The Black Cocks]] is a bit much, but ALT1 was completely factual and could be used as is on any day. (There was no alteration to make it fit for April Fool's Day.) I think it's far more interesting than the original hook I proposed. Mindmatrix 17:12, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• As it is already the 29th (here), and April Fools is just around the corner, I was worried about potential backlash. Keeping a fairly neutral wording is much better in my opinion, to avoid drama. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:45, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

You could have left discussion open for use as a non-April Fool's Day DYK. The current hook is dull, and will generate few hits. Mindmatrix 15:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Doubting Thomas

I'm not clear if this is now set for Good Friday or Easter Sunday. The latter would be much better as the point of the episode is that it is "post-Resurrection", ie post-Easter (in fact many days). Also Good Friday has another religious painting image on the TFA. Cheers, & keep up the good work. Johnbod (talk) 17:33, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• Midnight UTC on Easter Sunday, according to the schedule. It should be distanced enough from the TFA. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:47, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Great, thanks! Johnbod (talk) 04:54, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Lazar the Serb (clockmaker)

Is there a possibility that the image could be used? The nomination was moved to prep without the image.--Zoupan 19:24, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

• Yes, it was. The image isn't very attractive at 100px, which is the size it would be shown on the main page. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:43, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough, thank you for your reply!--Zoupan 00:04, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Pfft

Seriously?

Iron Knuckles are nothing; all you have to do is perform a backflip when they start swinging their axe, directly followed by a jump attack. Repeat until his armor is off, then you can just go up to him and stab until he dies. He won't be able to counter anything. ;)

By the way, did I mention that I have an account on the Zelda Wiki? Kurtis ^(talk) 12:11, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Didn't say they were particularly difficult . I'd much rather face them than that... thing... under the well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:23, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
  • I thought it was implied. =/
  • Oh, what — you mean this? Kurtis ^(talk) 12:59, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
    • Yeah, that's my old friend. Well, let's put it this way: Keese are more difficult to kill than Gohma's eggs — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:03, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
      • Gohma's eggs you'll only encounter in one specific area, and they are ridiculously easy. Keese, on the other hand, are annoying because they can evade your attacks pretty easily. Kurtis ^(talk) 13:11, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
        • I consider them both easy, actually, just one is easier than the other. The fire keese are a different story...  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:14, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationales

Could I get your opinion on two fair-use rationales? File:Spider-Maneffects.ogg and File:Webshootersfilm.jpg. Neither media is essential to the article, though they do add legitimate supporting illustration.

Incidentally, is there a message board/taskforce where I could ask these questions to avoid bothering you each time? Thanks as always for the help. -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:53, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• I'd use {{external media}} for both of them, assuming there is a website that hosts them legitimately. If they're not essential or close to essential, I doubt they pass WP:NFCC#8. I don't mind answering questions about this kind of stuff. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:18, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Also, note that statements like "The article as a whole is dedicated specifically to a discussion of this work." are patently false... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• Nah, they're not essential. I'll simply recommend that they be cut. Thanks as always for the help! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:22, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

• You're welcome. Cheers! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:23, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Since I hear you are a expert on the subject. I was wondering what could qualify as a image for the effects section that doesn't have to be a external link? Jhenderson ⁷⁷⁷ 19:41, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

• Shooting styles, effects which gained a lot of commentary, stuff like that. The fact that they are artificial webshooters does not mean that visuals are inherently necessary. I think Eraserhead and Ruma Maida have some decent examples. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:27, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Would you be willing to do a brief interview for the Signpost? Please email me if you have time for a few questions. Thanks! --Pine^✉ 19:11, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

your "warning"

Why did you post a warning on my talk page?  I'm allowed three restorations, especially if they are making progress, and this may be the first time since I've been a Wikipedian that I've reached the 3rd restoration.  Is there something I should know?  It also seems odd that you would suddenly take an interest in my edits immediately after I spent hours responding to you yesterday.  Unscintillating (talk) 22:48, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

An admin referencectomy?

diff  Why would an admin provide support to two delete !voters engaged in a referencectomy?  Delete !voters do not need to remove references from the topic of the AfD, because they believe that the entire topic will soon be deleted by consensus.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:57, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
