Wikipedia:Featured article review/Music of Athens, Georgia

I wasn't sure if you were aware or not, but the nominator of the above FAR has withdrawn it. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will be taking a look at FAR today. Joelito (talk) 16:24, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scouting FARC

Care to explain this since the only person who thought it should go to FARC was the nom and even he admitted the refs were fixed and everyone else thought issues were not FARC worthy, minor, etc? — Rlevse • Talk • 02:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator him/herself did not strike his/her other (even though minor) concerns. In any case, two weeks in FARC should not hurt the article if it is indeed up to FA standards. Joelito (talk) 03:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Minor concerns do not warrant losing FA status. What really irks me is the nom didn't even bring this up on the talk page first. I don't mind improvements to the article but the way the nom went about it and the obvious weak rationale (except for refs, which was fixed and stricken) left a lot to be desired. It's possible the nom isn't even watching the FAR now. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nom has asked the FAR be withdrawn. See FAR page. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will take a look later today. Joelito (talk) 12:44, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speed of FAR process

The FAR page says that an article normally stays in the discussion phase 2-3 weeks, but I see some articles that stagnate there with no improvements for close to a month now. Shouldn't these be move to the FARC phase sooner? I'm asking this because there are more articles that should be nominated for FAR, but the FAR page recommends that an editor open only one FAR at a time. Xasodfuih (talk) 17:26, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is entirely my fault. I have been slow to move articles from FAR to FARC. Please let me know which article you feel should me moved to FARC. Joelito (talk) 04:54, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject Puerto Rico Newsletter Year III - Issue 1 - Fall & Winter 2008-09

The WikiProject Puerto Rico Newsletter
Year III - Issue 1 - Fall & Winter 2008-09

"Yo exigí que se tocara La Borinqueña." - José Torres to Rafael Bracero, discussing the preparations for his championship fight against Willie Pastrano.

From the editor

Hello, Joelr31. This is the sixth issue of WikiProject Puerto Rico's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members to keep up with the latest news relating to the project. Continuing our new format, this issue will discuss the news, achievements and other incidences relevant to our project between fall and winter. - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flags and records

Greetings, during the past months, there has been a lot of activity and active discussion surrounding articles within our scope. Of particular interest is one that took place in Flag of Puerto Rico, in which several project members exposed their points of view regarding the tones of our flag. Ultimately, research brought forth a severe loophole in the regulation employed by the Senate of Puerto Rico. Our flag doesn't have official tones! Attempting to prevent future conflicts, I presented a proposal in the project's talk page. The subsequent discussion served as an perfect example of consensus. Thanks to everyone for your participation. In other news, our friend Tony the Marine added another impressive achievement to his brilliant resume. On December 8, 2008, his DYK hook for Ivan Castro (soldier) broke the previous all-time record for more views, receiving 71,300 visits. Tony has also been actively cooperating with this Newsletter, the inclusion of a new "Did you Know?" section, was entirely his idea. - Caribbean~H.Q. 22:34, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Project News

On January 3, 2009, Cerejota presented a draft interested in establishing a solid style guide for the project. The current revision can be seen here, further suggestions can be placed in the project's talk page.
Puerto Rican Campaign, Jewish immigration to Puerto Rico, Currencies of Puerto Rico and Sixto Escobar are now of good article quality.
Facts from Isabel Gonzalez, Jewish immigration to Puerto Rico, Chinese immigration to Puerto Rico, Ivan Castro (soldier), Currencies of Puerto Rico, Orlando Antigua and Jaime Fonalledas were featured in the "Did you know..." section of the main page.
List of Puerto Rican boxing world champions is currently a featured list candidate
Luis Muñoz Rivera and Flag of Puerto Rico, articles within our scope, are currently good article nominees.

Puerto Rican Highlight On November 1, Jonathan González won the flyweight division's gold medal at the International Boxing Association's Youth World Championships.

(Primera Hora) González joins John John Molina, Aníbal Santiago Acevedo, Carlos Febres and Daniel Alicea as gold medalists in this competition.

Did you Know? That the Elfin-woods Warbler, an endemic bird of Puerto Rico first observed in 1968, is the last New World warbler species to be discovered?

FARs

Yeah, I should be able to keep up with them. I'm unlikely to go on a long wikibreak anytime soon, so should be able to keep up to progress with it. D.M.N. (talk) 08:47, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Homo floresiensis FAR

Hello. Yes, I agree with closing the review. Jan.Kamenicek (talk) 22:30, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stepping down

Are you sure about this? Is there any way I can convince you to change your mind? Raul654 (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also wish you would reconsider, Joelito; you are such an effective delegate there, often stepping in to the most difficult decisions. Perhaps having YellowMonkey as a backup will make the work more enjoyable for you? Also, many that are currently on the page have declarations from YellowMonkey, meaning that he shouldn't be the one to close them. You are a real asset at FAR, and losing you would be sad; is there anything that will make this easier for you? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:51, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will stay for a while longer but I desire to edit articles again. At the moment 95% of my time in Wikipedia is spent reading FARs. I appreciate both Raul's and your requests but I think it is time for me to step down and let new people take care of FAR. Joelito (talk) 15:57, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The timing of Marskell's return is still uncertain; would you be able to hang in there a while longer? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot guarantee anything since there is no return date for Tim. Time will tell. Joelito (talk) 23:40, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't think I should close the ones where I already advocated a position in the second half, although I think in quite a few of them, the articles were quite abandoned, so you don't have to think about too much. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 02:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Epa, Joelito, ¿qué tal? I don't know if you saw Raul's note on my talk page, but YellowMonkey may have quit, and Raul put out a query about appointing another FAR delegate. It looks like YM isn't currently closing FARs, so I was hoping to trouble you to do the next run through ? Espero que sigas bien alli ... saludos, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:06, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Estupendo; me contenta mucho :) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soccer in PR

I would suggest that while soccer is not at the level of basketball, baseball and volleyball, its popularity has been increasing dramatically:

The Islanders are moving up and developing a very strong fan base-they sold out at Juan Ramón Loubriel Soccer Stadium in their game against Mexico's Cruz Azul with tickets selling for twenty bucks, much more than most other tickets.

Soccer is increasingly being taught in private and some public schools

Soccer leagues are developing in many communities---Fraigcomar and others

It probably already is the fourth most popular sport in PR. Pr4ever (talk) 00:39, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I could make a similar argument for wrestling but I would not compare it with baseball, basketball and boxing. Joelito (talk) 01:33, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Peterborough Chronicle

Hi Joel. Can you move this down please? I normally don't have a problem with moving my own noms down as long as I don't close them but in this case I think there would be a riot...the author has said that he feels that citations aren't needed anyway so I don't think extra time is needed (it's been on FAR about 4 weeks without any action) YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) 00:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FAR

Joel - you've been away for quite a while now. Since then, Yellowmonkey has been handling FAR more-or-less by himself. He asked for another delegate, and I've appointed Dana Boomer. I also removed you and Marskell, but if you want the job back, please let me know. Raul654 (talk) 21:39, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles

I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

The article Puerto Rican Amazon is schedule to appear as the main page featured article in the near future

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on October 22, 2010. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 22, 2010. If you think that it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The Puerto Rican Amazon is the only bird endemic to the archipelago of Puerto Rico belonging to the Neotropical genus Amazona. Measuring 28–30 cm (11–12 in), the Puerto Rican Amazon is a predominantly green parrot with a red forehead and white rings around the eyes. Two subspecies have been described, although there are doubts regarding the distinctiveness of the form gracilipes from Culebra Island, extinct since 1912. The Puerto Rican Amazon reaches sexual maturity between three and four years of age. It reproduces once a year and is a cavity nester. Once the female lays eggs she will remain in the nest and continuously incubate them until hatching. The chicks are fed by both parents and will fledge 60 to 65 days after hatching. This parrot's diet is varied and consists of flowers, fruits, leaves, bark and nectar obtained from the forest canopy. The species is the only remaining native parrot in Puerto Rico and has been listed as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union since 1994. Once widespread and abundant, the population declined drastically in the 19th and early 20th centuries with the removal of most of its native habitat; the species completely vanished from Vieques and Mona Island, nearby to the main island of Puerto Rico. Conservation efforts commenced in 1968 to save the bird from extinction. In 2006, the total estimated population was 34 to 40 individuals in the wild and 143 individuals in captivity. (more...)
