Paul Kariya

Hello, I haven't seen any comments on Talk:Paul Kariya/GA1 in over a week, I know these things take time, but I just wanted to make sure you haven't forgotten about it. Cheers. --Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 19:37, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article is pretty long so it will take a bit time, but I may finish the review tomorrow. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 21:20, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:CT

Hey TC, please see my "tactical oppose" at your move request. I also started a move request at From Dusk till Dawn. Applying this (imho quite nonsensical) rule consistently over as many articles as the current MOS:CT-wording applies to (see also Love over Gold) may be the only viable option to get as many people involved as possible, with a view to start a discussion about the wording of MOS:CT at some point. --87.79.208.25 (talk) 05:58, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Unjustified removals

If you do not like a category, you are free to nominate it for deletion at CfD. There is no justification for unilaterally emptying it out of process. What you did removing people from categories like Category:Imperial Russian botanists was not justified. If you do not like the category you should nominate it for deletion, not empty it out of process.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:53, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of Strategic Simulations, Inc. games

I'd go with the table in List of Square video games/List of Square Enix video games - with that many games, it's probably better. The types used in Dragon Quest and Looking Glass Studios are better for when it's a specific series, a shorter list, or when there's a narrative flow about the games from a single developer. --PresN 19:06, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

NA means it was released in the NA region, any country. PAL is any PAL country, JP is Japan, AUS is Australia (and New Zealand). It doesn't have to be all countries in the region, just at least one of them. Most references, like Gamespot or IGN, which you can see me citing in those lists, split it up that way. Death Trap, btw, was only released in Japan on the "home computer" (i.e. NEC PC-8801, FM-7, FM-Towns, etc)- I have it split into one line per PC/console- and it was never released on any other system. Not sure why you think it was released outside of Japan. --PresN 19:21, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

John Hagelin

I've been reworking the refs for the John Hagelin article per your suggestion. However, I now have some overuse injuries which have slowed down my typing, and in fact I may take a break from editing completely until late this month. I'm going to push on the ref work in the next few days, but may have to stop depending on the injuries. If I don't finish within the week, I'll understand completely if you have to delist the article from GA review. I can always renominate the article early in the new year. Best wishes and thanks.(olive (talk) 03:21, 10 December 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Olive left me a message saying that she'll be taking a break. Just wanted to let you know that I'll pick up where she leaves off on the refs. I'm eager to see this get GA. TimidGuy (talk) 18:10, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again for your review of the the Hagelin article. I finished reworking the refs using the sfn convention. Do you want to glance at it to see if it's okay? The next step will be to reorganize the bibliography so that sources are grouped by type. TimidGuy (talk) 12:47, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've noticed that you have been doing some assessment work on a variety of topics including biology. I have been working on a mammal article, Fisher (animal) for awhile and am looking to get is assessed. I have been poking around but I haven't found an appropriate assessment page.

I'll be happy to, but I can't without seeing the quotes in original Russian first. Can you point me to them, please?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 17, 2012; 14:27 (UTC)

Dobrolyubov's quote is in the very last section :"«В „Бедных людях“, — писал Добролюбов, —...." Regards.--Tomcat (7) 14:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to be dense, but in the very last section of what? There are no quotes in Russian in the article itself...—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 18, 2012; 14:19 (UTC)
I mean on this page, last section, beginning with "«В „Бедных людях“, — писал Добролюбов, —..." Regards.--Tomcat (7) 14:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Got it; thanks. I think the translation conveys the meaning more or less accurately, but since you are paraphrasing the passage somewhat, perhaps it shouldn't be presented as a quote but formatted as indirect speech instead? I'd change a few things in the paraphrased version (such as fixing a typo in "indentity", replacing "presents it to our verdict" with "presents it to us for a verdict", and a few other similar things), but if you are going for a full accurate quote, then in my opinion it should be re-written. Please let me know if I can help with any of it.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); December 18, 2012; 15:20 (UTC)
Ok, thanks, I will rewrite it then. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 15:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of King & Queen

The article King & Queen 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 needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 14 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:King & Queen for things which need to be addressed. James086Talk 22:48, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The current hullabaloo

Hi Tomcat, I think you would help yourself in this mess that you have gotten yourself into if you let people know that you realize that you've been doing stuff the wrong way by inserting direct translations of sources into articles which is a Copyvio, and by not properly source checking your GA nominations. If you keep acting as if you have done nothing wrong people will grow tired very quickly and you are likely to experience some kind of repercussion. You clearly have been doing problematic editing, although Chris Gualtieri is wildly exaggerating the problems, and seem intent to start a witch hunt. You could have avoided this by being more responsive to criticism early on and by not getting into edtiwars. I am convinced that you are editing in good faith, but as long as you persist in making the same types of edits that people have been criticizing most people will be quick to assume bad faith. Just a piece of advice. I want you to know that I appreciate your efforts at translating articles from other wikis, which is really important and valuable work, you have done much to improve wikipedia and these minor problems will be fixed in the long run and only the positive effects of your contributions will remain. So well done, and keep improving yourself as an editor and a colleague - that is what we all need to keep doing everyday. Best regards and the seasons greetings.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 17:14, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've requested the ANI to close, it should close soon. I do not want you blocked or punished. I just realized your ability to understand English is different from mine. While I am concerned about the Eckenfelder matter, I do apologize for being harsh. I take CV and sources that do not cover the material they reference (especially at GA and FA level articles) very seriously. Let's do the RFC/U and try to resolve this. We both want Wikipedia to be better, so let's find some common ground and work together. This little dispute is sapping too much time and energy from better things. Let's work together.

Ancient Egypt help

Happy Christmas! I'm asking you for help because you're familiar with German and because you've worked with the Abutiyuw page, the only Ancient Egypt page that I've noticed recently.

WikiCup 2013 starting soon

Hi there; you're receiving this message because you have previously shown interest in the WikiCup. This is just to remind you that the 2013 WikiCup will be starting on 1 January, and that signups will remain open throughout January. Old and new Wikipedians and WikiCup participants are warmly invited to take part in this year's competition. (Though, as a note to the more experienced participants, there have been a few small rules changes in the last few months.) If you have already signed up, let this be a reminder; you will receive a message with your submissions' page soon. Please direct any questions to the WikiCup talk page. Thanks! J Milburn 19:32, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2013 WikiCup

Hello, Tomcat7, and welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! Your submissions' page is here. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:

  • The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
  • Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started and completed the review in 2013.) We will be checking.
  • If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
  • Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
  • Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked.

Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 13:03, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Harrison discography

Hi Tomcat7. As mentioned on the talk/FLC comments page, I've added dates where I could for those album releases. You've been very generous with your time on my GA noms over the past year, so sure, I'll help out with that introductory text. Might need a few days before I can work on it, though, since my time on wikipedia is quite limited. Got some thoughts and ideas on the discography article that I didn't leave on the talk page ...

  • Not sure about that #23 chart placing for "Deep Blue" (a stray inclusion, from Bangla Desh's US chart peak maybe?)
  • I really don't think you should bother with links to Lennon and McCartney discography pages. (Link to Starr discography is a good idea, definitely, because George co-wrote and produced a lot of Ringo's biggest hits.)
  • I realise it would create more work for you, but how about including Dutch Mega Charts chart positions, and the same for Belgian, French and South African charts? Harrison had a few hits in those countries, and in the case of his 1974 releases, the inclusion of chart peaks in Holland would provide a useful picture of his continued international popularity, even if his success in the UK was coming to an end. I've recently added some Dutch, Belgian and SA chart positions to the "Dark Horse", "Ding Dong, Ding Dong" and Dark Horse articles, so hopefully you'll find useful links there. Happy to help where I can.

Also, if you've got time, I'd really appreciate it if you could do some more GARs for me ... PaulMacDermott recently gave "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" a preliminary "pass", but has asked for a second review in case his text-to-speech program missed something. I've also nominated the "Dark Horse" song article (which I think Paul said he might take on, maybe not), "Ding Dong", and an all-new piece "Hari's on Tour (Express)". Any help you can give would be fantastic! Thanks, Tomcat7. Happy new year to you. JG66 (talk) 06:37, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GA noms

TomCat7, you need to readjust your GA behavior. It is clearly abuse of the process to immediately renominate failed nominations at the rate you are doing it. If you do not somehow show that you understand this, and that you recognize the problems that have been repeatedly pointed out to you regarding your editing, I am going to suggest some kind of solution to the community that might involve a restriction on your ability to nominate GAs.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 18:38, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will also say this. I saved your ass at ANI and at your RfC the other day by speaking out in your favor of showing you trust. You have since done absolutely nothing to show that you deserved that trust, but rather have done a lot to show the opposite. Legitimate concerns about your editing were pointed out, and instead of correcting them you have continued. This is immensely disappointing.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 20:34, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd actually go one step further and say that you should step away from nominating any articles at GAN for the time being. You're half-doing what is asked in reviews, and when you re-nominate them immediately, it says to me that you don't care about improving the article at all, you just want that icon. I hope that's wrong, but that's how it comes across, and it's actually made me reconsider bothering with GAN. Wizardman 03:17, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
