:*"Minor flyspecking"? I think you either a) don't quite recall what you did, as your changes were similar (none of the images had major gaps) or b) are still upset over Lindbergh. I remember it built on your restorations, and was going to to note this on my talk page, but then you sucked me into an edit war over Lindbergh. I have added the note above. Now, as for my name: either spell it right or don't post on my talk page.

Satan's Harvest Home

I haven't forgotten, but I got swamped by events last week, and now have to leg it up north for a week. I shall not neglect your request, but it will be into September before I lurch into action. Don't hesitate to prod me if you hear nothing. Tim riley (talk) 16:54, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Thio Tjin Boen

Alex ShihTalk 00:04, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is fair- you've left Elekhh's unsupported claim that the image has no copyright problems, yet removed my challenge to that, after you've weighed in on the discussion yourself. I'm not going to revert you, as I agree that the discussion probably doesn't belong there, but I do think there's a problem with leaving Elekhh's very questionable claim outside of the archive, making it look unchallenged.

Trouble with Harvard citation

Hi Crisco! This is the first time I've used the above citation format and I'm having a bit of trouble with it in Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Hong Kong). I've changed all the book sources to Harv. style using the same format throughout, but only one of them works while the other two don't. Could I trouble you to have a quick look? Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 05:39, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William E. Eakle I have never used the userfy feature, but I would appreiciate it if you could retrive the text and citations so that the content can be rolled into a broader article. I have created 500 or so articles with very few afd's. I have a pair of new users that are very focused on deleting specific people in Howard County, starting with a strange round of blanking from a new HCPIO account (Howard County Public Information Office), then de-linking and citation removal, timed Afd's, then bulk AFD's on notibility. I decided to wait on the outcome on notablitiy. I will follow the guidelines as best as I can on the broader article, and hopefully calmer heads and editors will prevail. FlugKerl (talk) 06:27, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A history of the county, politics of the county, or a historical list of county officials. I'm open to suggestions. FlugKerl (talk) 22:14, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Page protection?

Crisco, do you ever handle page protection requests?

I ask because there's a swarm of IPs at Kurt Hummel, doing unfortunate things to the infobox (and sometimes elsewhere in the article). I put in a request at WP:RFP#Kurt Hummel about 40 minutes ago because of over two dozen edits in a very short time, and well over a dozen have been made since then. If the request can be expedited, that would be great: now that I've made the request, I have to stay away from further involvement. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:59, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you! It's such a relief to have it stopped. I'll go in now and undo the damage. I'd already warned one of them with a newish account (who seems to have bowed out, or gone the IP route) about 3RR, when I realized this needed stronger action, since at least one IP seemed to be changing addresses... BlueMoonset (talk) 00:11, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was actually worried that they'd take their game over to the other half of the "couple", Blaine Anderson, but only one visited and was reverted. I'm hoping, given those circumstances, that they won't be back. If so, I imagine no one would be averse to me asking for another round of protection. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:31, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Crisco, do you ever handle DYK favor hook-checking requests?

I ask because that prick BlueMoonset is so particular and wants another reviewer to look at a tweaked hook. Well, I got two such hooks (review is done, etc.) with minor tweaks, and if someone OKs them you get rid of two DYK noms in a minute: Template:Did you know nominations/Milan Poparic and Template:Did you know nominations/Prisoners of Hope. Tell you what, make that three, and that last one is a really old one (you're welcome, BlueMoonset): Template:Did you know nominations/Rose Lambert. Drmies (talk) 03:16, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Have checked all three. Two seemed okay, but one was... dull. Mind you, it's an Armenian one so I was tempted to not touch it, considering these things are unsung Gibraltars at times. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:09, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • So kind, Drmies. I cannot but return the favor by allowing you to solve on your own how to avoid using both "writer and director" and "wrote and directed" in that dogs hook, since doing so puts you at 209 characters. Good thing you didn't also add "sets", or you'd be at 214... BlueMoonset (talk) 05:31, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

looks like the indonesian ones of old...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ONE_TV_ASIA - just removed the programme list might need your watch if poss please, have the feeling it will be back in by stealth or otherwise... cheers sats 08:01, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day
Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality
Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content
Is more content needed?
Headings
Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images
Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links
Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources
For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:38, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Restorations

Hey, Cris! I've been asked to find new examples of restorations to replace ones a Wikimedia UK page that consists entirely of Durova's work, which, while good, is also by a long-retired user. Could you tell me what your top five favourite restorations you've done are? Also, besides us two, can you think of any other active restorationists? I can think of a half-dozen or so - Papa Lima Whiskey, Staxringold, Trialsanderrors etc - but I don't think any of them have been active in years; if I'm wrong on that point, I would like to know. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:18, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • PLW was active under the name User:Papa Lima Whiskey 2 for a while, but s/he's disappeared since then. User:Mmxx does some, but I haven't seen him/her around recently. Jbarta and User:Centpacrr do some restorations at the image lab, though neither are active at FPC (and I doubt Centpacrr would want the recognition).
I'm rather fond of
Perhaps File:Golden_Gate_from_Lands_End,_San_Francisco_c1895.jpg would be a useful example of my work in digital image restoration for what you are wanting to demonstrate. (Comparison of original and restoration below.) I have others. but this is probably the most extreme example of a damaged image that was restored.

  • I am puzzled by the first two images you have referred to above for which you take credit as being "your restorations". In fact these are images that I did very major restorations of for you at your request made in the Graphics Lab in December, 2011 (see here and here both of which you then marked as "Resolved"), which you appear to have then reposted as new files (one within hours) styled as your own restorations (called "Cisco edits") but to which you made virtually no changes to the extensive work I did for you other than some extremely minor "flyspecking". (Perhaps this is what you mean above by saying that you "doubt I would want the recognition" for my work.)
