I see your point, but not all of that information needs to be listed. If the article was "full-balanced" in the same style as the "Early career" section, it would be way too long. It's already to long anyway. That section needs serious condensing. It shouldn't be longer than the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s sections are - it is about ten times longer though.

Question on the deletion of Uncited MaterialHi there. There is an instance where I had added uncontroversial material for which I did not have any citation at the time but I am entirely sure about. In instances like these is it usual for edits to be reverted without reasonable time to find references. Can you please answer here? Thanks. 88.201.1.30 (talk) 12:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC) Where possible we should cite WP:RELIABLE SOURCES. It depends really. A lot of unsourced material get added to articles on like towns and places all the time and a lot of it is not removed. However if you add unreferenced material to WP:BLPs it is far more likely to be reverted unless you source it.. Is there something you'd like me to restore?. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:53, 1 January 2010 (UTC) I am extremely grateful for your offer but the article is a little trivial for your assistance. I am just going to wait and watch. I will also check the book I need to cite from a rare books library. Besides, I suspect the two people who reverted the edit MAY be involved in sockpuppeting or meatpuppeting. So I need to keep a watch on that. Thanks anyway. I edit using IP s so that I can experience what a non-resistered user experiences. I must say my experiment has been enlightening. 88.201.1.30 (talk) 18:27, 1 January 2010 (UTC) Happy new yearThanks friend. I wish you all the very best. Shahid • Talk2me 14:24, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: Years in JazzHello, Dr. Blofeld. You have new messages at Viriditas's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. re:Happy New Year!Happy new year to you, too! I can count on one hand the number of TV shows I watch, and Most Haunted doesn't make the list, sorry! Have a great 2010. Lugnuts (talk) 13:42, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
Mattu PongalI am glad to see you back from your holiday break. Thanks for the instantaneous assessment. I have been quite busy, as usual. --Nvvchar (talk) 14:14, 4 January 2010 (UTC) Next oneMy next few WP:FACs are likely to be Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Inauguration of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, John Beilein, 2008–09 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team, and McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. I would say that the last three of these six are in most need of a c/e and reorg. The latest PR on the last one had some issues unresolved because reorganization is not my strong suit.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:35, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Ah, yesYou still have the agent with the knife in the shoe gizmo? I have frankly lost interest in the project as various populated places are being deleted right and left. If the project doesn't want what we give it, why give it more? It seems to want more 2-bit songs by 2-bit has-been "artists" who happened to get as far on some "reality" show that Simon got to yell them off. Lovely. Bloody lovely. I did manage to pop over the holidays to your side of the pond. London is so expensive. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:24, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I already have a lot of sorting I had hoped to get through during the holidays, but I'll add it to my mental list todo some time. Waacstats (talk) 22:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC) Stub types of Finnish provincesGreetings! Two or more stub types which you created have been nominated for renaming or deletion at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type most likely doesn't meet Wikipedia requirements for a stub type, through failure to meet standards relating to the name, scope, current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals! This message is a boilerplate, left here as a courtesy, and should not be considered personal in nature. --Silvonen (talk) 05:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC) My WikiBirthdayWhy thank you.

ReplyAm totally in agreement - but not sure what I can do, and whether it will stick. If it's something I need to add to an admin-locked file or something, probably best to let me know where and what :) Thanks. Orderinchaos 16:56, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Music Biennale ZagrebThanks for providing the pic - just what the article was missing... GregorB (talk) 18:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC) Divino SalvadorUgh! I read through it and found one site online referring to it. It no longer exists and the building that housed it is offices of the Secretary of Health and still contains the hospital's old records. Notability issue? Looks to be the first insane asylum for women in Mexico City, it was later moved to another hospital that looks like it still exists.I had never heard of it and Ive been on Donceles street many times.Thelmadatter (talk) 23:04, 5 January 2010 (UTC) Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Jay Pritzker Pavilion/archive1Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Jay Pritzker Pavilion/archive1 is open and could use some commentary.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Three of the references in this provide very interesting reading material.

Latvian geo stubsHi, remember this discussion about spliting Latvia geography stub category ? You voted against the idea saying that it doesn't need to be split yet, especially, when it's problematic. The thing is we have solved the problem how to divide it (i.e. according to four cultural regions of Latvia), but user who started it all apparently has suddenly left Wikipedia - mind to look into this again, please ? ~~Xil (talk) 16:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC) Cheers, Jack Merridew 17:59, 8 January 2010 (UTC) Major cities of Greater ChinaSee here, if you have any opinion on the matter.

I could romanize their names for you no problem, but they are all given in Russian, and should probably be romanized from Uzbek (which I, of course, don't know). If there's anyone available at WP:Central Asia, I think they would be able to take care of this task much better than me.

Uncivil?!Ahhh, a fine line between being "uncivil" or being bold (or bald!) Seems like another jobsworth who'd rather do that than any constructive creating/additions here. Lugnuts (talk) 12:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Please look at comment on my talk pageHi. Please see User talk:Orlady#Unreferenced BLPs. The article identified there is actually one that you created. --Orlady (talk) 15:36, 16 January 2010 (UTC) Simply mindblowing!Mindblowing music. I'm fine, and how are you? I'm now going through long discussions on the Bollywood talk page on which one user wants to add Urdu scripts to Hindi film articles. I think it's laughable. Bollywood is the Hindi language film industry. There has been a presence of poetic Urdu words in songs and dialogues. Urdu is as present as English in Hindi films, yet people try to argue that it is important enough to have a script in the beginning of an article. And I also find myself explaining why Encyclopedia Britannica's "Encyclopedia of Hindi cinema" is a reputable source. Urghh... What about you? Shahid • Talk2me 17:13, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
EastwoodI asked the author to let us use that image back in April of last year, and they just now got back to me. I don't mind the wait, since it's a quality image of him facing forward. He's been quite the elusive person to get a free image for, I've sent out multiple requests to various authors. When I added the image to the article, I was amazed at how much more developed it is. Great job, the article definitely needed to be expanded. We'll see what celebrity images come along next. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 23:44, 16 January 2010 (UTC) The AvengersI looked at the site and the wiki site and I am not sure what I could contribute other than rewrite the episode list with added synopsis but it would take a long time. I have a book with the transmission dates which are probably ABC midlands who had the franchise at the time. I am still trying to do the Invisble Man but got sidetracked by Whiplash (TV series) which I had been waiting years to see again. I have watched 14/34 and it is stirring some memories from when I saw it as a boy, just as I watched most of The Avengers.--REVUpminster (talk) 00:11, 17 January 2010 (UTC) Thanks. Incidentally, last week I have posted my article on Junagarh Fort for GA assessment. But no body has been assigned yet to review it. I was wondering why my comrade has not messaged me for quite some time. I am in the process of drafting a large article titled "Buddhisst Monatseries in Himachal Pradesh". I will post it on my user page shortly for your collaboration in expanding and fine tuning it. I am also expanding Alchi Monastery but that will be ready by end of next week. After that, I will take up Pushkar. I have lot of references on Pushkar Lake, which I had used for my article for ILEC on "Lake Management in India".--Nvvchar (talk) 15:07, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Wow, you really jumped on Sarandoy!Thanks for helping out, did you just have the redlink watchlisted? I did find another resource here[1] if you're looking for more cites, otherwise I might come back later in the week and fill more in. MatthewVanitas (talk) 16:51, 17 January 2010 (UTC) File:MarioLugones.jpgFile:MarioLugones.jpg is almost certain in the public domain - any picture of Lugones published before 1990 is - but to be certain we need to know when it was published. Any ideas? Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:53, 17 January 2010 (UTC) ResponseOk I will try to remember to do this. Do you think that you can add pictures to the articles I created like you did for Sam the Man.--TheMovieBuff (talk) 22:52, 17 January 2010 (UTC) I love all films whatever help you need Ill try my best.--TheMovieBuff (talk) 23:00, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
PritzkerThanks - I will work on alt text over the next several hours. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 12:36, 18 January 2010 (UTC) Japanese filmsThanks. Yeah, I've considered doing it, but I'm lazy :) I might do it. I'm not sure about the cinema of Japan template being on all Japanese films though. Also, I think the folks over at WP:Films aren't very keen on that either. Cattus talk 17:54, 19 January 2010 (UTC) EarthquakeAgreed. Especially about the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Port-au-Prince - what's been little-remarked-upon there, even in the media coverage of the quake, is the loss of an incredible mural program at the church. It was completely decorated by local painters...it's even in one of my art books at home. I'll send you a scan or two later this evening. Though to be fair, Haiti coverage online isn't the best to begin with - I was trying to look up Fort Alexandre earlier, and can't find hardly a thing out there. By the way, the home computer's back up, so I finished Lesotho the other night. Not sure where I'm going from there... --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:16, 20 January 2010 (UTC) Palace of the Marqués del Apartado orphan statusDunno if youre an expert in templates, but if youre not, you know who is. I just created the page today Palace of the Marqués del Apartado. A short time later, someone stuck an orphan tag on it. I checked and only three pages link to it. Thing is, at the bottom there's a template that is supposed to link this page with the other landmarks of the Historic center of Mexico City in part to avoid this problem. It seems to link together the other pages that are listed but not this one. (Yes I put the page on the template.) Thanks.... Thelmadatter (talk) 02:08, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

ShaniaI've watched one episode of AI. I think she is a sweetheart. She is not too strict (well obviously not like Cowell is) and she is very nice to contestants, though I still somewhat miss Paula.:) This guy sings well and she is quite suitable for the role of a judge.

DeproddedI took the liberty to deprod above articles by adding a suitable reference. Take care Doc. (Say hi to S.P.E.C.T.R.E. for me). Dr.K. λogosπraxis 04:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC) Clint EastwoodWouldn't you agree that the "early career" section should be condensed? Seriously, you won't find more than a stub for the 1950s film that he made uncredited cameos in, yet there are over 20 paragraphs about them on his page. Discussing plots, production, etc. This belongs on the page for those movies, not on Eastwood's. The same thing goes for the Dollars trilogy - nearly 50 large paragraphs that cover a total of three films. There's not even that much written on the articles for those movies. There is too much written in those sections - it's uneven and doesn't fit with the rest of the article. This has been brought out before on the talk page but no one writes anything on there. Please help me improve the article.66.233.23.3 (talk) 09:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC) Response to your post on my discussion pageI'd like to see that. But don't you agree that the 50s section is very bloated and needs to be condensed? It doesn't make sense to have pages and pages written under the 50s section, and hardly anything written in the 60s-00s section, especially since those years are much more important to his career. We don't need to list his every move, just his important films.66.233.23.3 (talk) 09:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC) I see your point, but not all of that information needs to be listed. If the article was "full-balanced" in the same style as the "Early career" section, it would be way too long. It's already to long anyway. That section needs serious condensing. It shouldn't be longer than the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s sections are - it is about ten times longer though.
