DYK for Turbellaria

On 31 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Turbellaria, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

North Sea

SriMesh ^talk has smiled at you! Thank you for taking the time to review the North Sea, your comments have both helped the article to come along, and have increased my understanding of how to edit an already started article. Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!

Opinion

Do you think that an article on a literary work, just like a film, comic book, video game, etc. should have a "Critical reception" or "Critical analysis" or similar section to pass GA? If you have an opinion, and I would like your honest one for my own betterment, would you weigh in on Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Ali's Smile: Naked Scientology/1? Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 20:54, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stability on the Origin

Sorry about the number of edits, essentially it was a rewrite of the lead which had not yet been commented on, and seemed to have been superseded by the revisions to the content sections it summarises, and a large number of very small grammar or spelling fixes, mostly keeping the past tense consistent in the content section. Apologies, that's me done now and will leave it alone unless requested to make edits. My aim now is to take the lessons learnt to other articles! . . dave souza, talk 19:42, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FAR

Yes, it could do with more hands, and if you would like to help raise standards that would be great. I estimate that FAR has a lag of about 18-24 months on the average FAC in terms of difficulty. YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) 01:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Moo2BuildMenu400.png

Thanks for uploading File:Moo2BuildMenu400.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:06, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re "A deletionist proposal"

moved from user talk ikip:

Your "American Idol" post at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#A_deletionist_proposal was bad tactics:

American Idol is an entertainment, not a news or documentary or educational program, so it's not a reliable source. I wouldn't be surprised if someone has posted that point at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#A_deletionist_proposal before I've finished this message.
The way to make extreme deletionism look bad is to present moderate counter-arguments in a moderate way, not be as extreme on the other side.
You've deflected attention from Pixelface's thorough demolition of the proposal. --Philcha (talk) 14:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GAN review

I want to apologise for seeming so adversarial earlier today. It hasn't been a good day for me, I've been tied up in research for coursework most of it. I know you're acting in good faith, and so I apologise if my attitude seemed inappropriate earlier. Hopefully we can reach some form of constructive conclusion with this review. -- Sabre (talk) 20:31, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm halting this review. Apology above still stands, but I have severe grievances with your understanding of the good article criteria, and your overzealous application of WP:V. We aren't going to see eye-to-eye, so its just going to be a waste of time us continuing. I'm marking the article as having failed. -- Sabre (talk) 17:36, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll vote for 3: "Old FAs should be held to the same standard as new FAs; old GAs should be held to the same standard as new GAs. That is, some FAs and GAs should be delisted, if they do not meet the current standard." In theory that's what's supposed to happen now, but we have plenty of comments above that FAR does not apply current FA standards. --Philcha (talk) 23:50, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well kindly help out at FAR, or in the case of FAs in your sphere of interest, help to renovate them. It only takes 2 minutes to nom an ancient FAR if you are offended by it sharing the same status as a new FAC pass. I can think of a few FARs that are being partially improved and will probably scrape through by dragging its heels even though it would not pass at FAC or would be held up there until done properly. I could jump and and down about it on teh explicit articles, but then I wouldn't be able to close it and Joelr31 closes things more leniently than I do so it might be pointless if I cited all this stuff myself anyway.

How users read on the web

In reference to the link on your user page, it appears that I am twelve years too late. Just as with music, why is it that all the good ideas have been done before? At least it's nice to find that there's some good old-school support/evidence for my "hypothesis". Back to the drawing board again...

Jstor and others

Thanks for the offer. Excepting this article, if you could find anything on Chat Moss or Carrington Moss, that would be excellent. Jstor has entries on each, and other Google Scholar results lead to similar inaccessible sites with interesting material.

Kareena Kapoor

Hi. This article has been GA for sometime. As you are one of the best reviewers on here would you be so kind as to read the article and offer some advice on how it can be upgraded to FA. Its not easy writing about an Indian actress especially from Bollywood and it is difficult to avoid it sounding like a blog in parts. It uses the most reliable sources on the subject anyway. My concern is that some people may find the article a little uninspiring. Let me know what you think at Talk:Kareena Kapoor. Best.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 11:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all, very much appreciate it otherwise I wouldn't have asked. I was one of the editors along with User:Shshshsh and User:Dwaiypanc who actually promoted the Preity Zinta you have referred to to FA and we are well aware of the difficulties in doing so.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 13:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note though that the India vs US sources debate came up over the Preity Zinta article. IN the end it was shown that the most reliable sources on the subject were those in the mainstream Indian media given that the coverage of Indian cinema in the UNited States/west is rather pale in comparison. It is about an Indian actress so the sources as in the Zinta article were finally approved of after a lengthy discussion.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 13:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was incredibly tough and people pick up on a great deal which is mostly why I don't go for more FAs than I have done as it can be very stressful. I have about 7 FAs so far but my last was actually the Zinta article because it was so stressful. Having worked a lot on the Zinta article we are aware of what is required but it will take a lot of hard work sorting it all. If the main editor of the Kareena article was here I'm sure we could work togethe ron it. As it stands I'll do my best to gradually improve it and fix those dead links etc. The Encyclopedic Britannica India is indeed the source so that should be OK.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 13:49, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A word or two on the sources. The Encycklopedia Britannica published book can be seen here. Sources from the Indian media are used precisely because we cam to a consensus with other FA reviwers and in general that for Bollywood a great of other web content is found in fan blogs and commercial sites which may jeopardize reliability and integrity of the sources. This is why we rely on the Indian media and the two or three mainstream Indian websites which are considered professional. Having a source or two from New York Times for instance on how her films and performances were rated overseas is always good but given that it is about an Indian actress national sources are considered the best. For instance an article about the Indian community in New York we would generaly always use American sources and probably wouldn't even consider using any Indian based references such is the bias. Remember also that many wikipedians on here are Indian too of course although us English and Americans make up the majority.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 14:04, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Part of the problem of course it that many websites which appear to mainstream plagiarise material from wikipedia see this for example.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 14:52, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sam & Max Save the World

Sorry, I did not mean to step on your toes or anything, but I just completed the GA review for that article. I didn't see anyone doing it over at WP:GAN, so I put my name down there and got to work on it myself. If you have anything to add to it, feel free to do so. Again, sorry, MuZemike 19:32, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Helpful evidence

Hi Philcha. Thanks for contributing to the RfArb: evidence of Mattisse responding well to disagreement is particularly helpful in order to place the cases where she hasn't in context. However, I think the arbitrators would probably appreciate it if you provide some more diffs in your evidence so that they can quickly verify your comments. Geometry guy 19:16, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I don't have "GeometryGuy's saintlike patience" either, lol. Some editors just haven't encountered me when I'm really annoyed... :-)

BISVietnam

Thanks for your comments. I suppose that my original quick fail was a bit brusque, but to me the fact that the article was written like an advertisement and was a substantial copyright violation seemed to automatically disqualify it from GAN, since it is at least arguable that it should be listed at AfD. If it had just been the referencing, which is not grounds for a quick fail, I would have been more constructive. I have to say that had I realised it was written by a 15 year-old, I might (just might) have been more gentle. I'll step away from this article now. jimfbleak (talk) 12:26, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, if you read the comment above yours, and my response, I can be constructive even on severely defective articles! jimfbleak (talk) 12:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Volunteer - is it OK?

I hope you don't mind that I volunteered your name in my current arbitration as a member of group of editors whose judgment I trust, since you already fulfill the role of adviser to me. User:John Carter and User:Malleus Fatuorum have agreed to help me with this issue. I aso named User:Geometry guy, who already fulfills the role as you do. My idea of having a "panel" or group of editors to advise me on judgment calls is to avoid the burden from falling on any one editor. I would like to be able to ask your advice in situations in which I am unsure, or fear that I am getting in over my head. Please let me know if this is not OK with you. Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 02:19, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did warn Mattisse that I may not be the best possible choice she could have made, but she bravely decided to go ahead with it nonetheless. :-)

To be serious, although I've had some difficulties with Mattisse in the past, her contributions far outweigh any of that for me. I'll support anyone with Mattisse's content-building skills no matter whether I can get along with them or not. --Malleus Fatuorum 02:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

clades & Orthozanclus

Hello Philcha,

Inadvertantly, I made the same change twice to the Orthozanclus article, and in turn you reverted it twice. I didn't intend to start an edit war. I'm still not clear why the change was reverted, though. When you have time, could you have a look at my comment Talk:Orthrozanclus?

User page

I am thinking of drawing up a "Retirement Statement". I cannot image my joy in editing articles returning, now that it seems that I am not entitled to have opions also. When I started editing articles, I did not register opinions, once I learned that AFD was a receipe for getting on sockputppet lists. However I notice the longer people are here, the more they spend chatting on talk pages rather than editing aritlces. I find I am starting to fall in that category, and for that I will dspise myself. I fell my era of productive editing has ended here at Wikipedia and would like to draft a retirement statement that conveys my thoughts without being self serving. I find what User talk:TravisTX wrote in his retirement statment rather close to what I feel. I also resent the "two tier" systme wher editors like Giano and George are protected by arbs and admins. That is intolerable to a person at the bottom end, like me. What do you think of a "Retirement page"? This would not be deployed instantly but only when circumstances become clearly impossible. Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 00:33, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, User:FlyingToaster's retirement page was rather sad. —Mattisse (Talk) 00:36, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FotBS

The fossils page is an easier goal, and I think is appropriate if we are still aiming for front page coverage. If we FA that then it should be relatively easy to bring BS up to speed. The stratigraphy page may take some involved editing from me!

I will hopefully have some free time to dabble tomorrow morning (I have the internet at home again!) so I'll conjure up a battle plan then. We could probably go straight to peer review then FA review to avoid the bureaucracy of GA. I have to warn you that there may be some significant reworking in the pipeline... Martin (Smith609 – Talk) 21:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poor articles

Problem is, I realised that nominating an article for "Poor article" status and reaching consensus as it its cruftiness would actually be far more complicated than simply fixing the issues in the first place. "Poor article" status would only really be useful in situations where cruft removal and misleading material were constantly being reinstated by zealous users, and there are already other mechanisms in place to deal with them. Serendi ^podous 09:17, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it might be a useful alternative to deletion or merging. If an article is too notable to delete but not good enough to preserve, slapping a "BA" or "PA" shield might be a good idea. But it would have to go through the deletion process (the BA equivalent of a GA review) before consensus is reached. Serendi ^podous 09:31, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a clearer post over at the deletion review page. I think we may disagree on one thing. There is a difference between articles that are simply poor and articles that are genuinely bad, ie they are personal promotional essays masquerading as encyclopedic articles. BA status, for me, would apply only to those articles. Serendi ^podous 09:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion on GAR and PR

Hi Philcha - you should provide links to discussions you refer to at RfArb. I looked in the archives and could only find brief discussions of PR and GA at WT:GAN. Am I missing something? Geometry guy 13:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is a real problem with referencing in the History section because a detailed article on Aurora Stadium had to be removed as an unreliable source, therefore that's the reason why some sentences aren't referenced properly and I'm struggling to find any others, so it's looking like some sentences have to be removed. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 04:03, 29 May 2009 (UTC) Here is the article[reply]

Thanks for your patience. I again went to the library yesterday and found virtually nothing on York Park's history in Launceston/Tasmanian books. I was surprised by the amount of Tasmanian books out at the moment and also after waiting nearly 30 mins the council said they were busy. Shame really, maybe in a few years a book on Aurora Stadium may come out or it's history could become more prominent in Launceston books. Thanks again for your suggestions. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 01:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, well reading it again it sounds that way but that's not exactly what I was meaning, sorry for the confusion. Later tonight I'll go through all the refs and see what I can find. Aaroncrick^{(Tassie Boy talk)} 06:56, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't catch the reference

Hi. I'm not sure what you were getting at w/ the "political opponents"/"enemies" bit. That's clearly a reference to something, but Google isn't clearly directing me to it. More to the point, I don't know whether that's a criticism, or... what. -GTBacchus^(talk) 17:57, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He's certainly welcome to any reservations he may have about me. I have suggested that his bout of gloating (considering its effects: blocks, drama, etc.) was somehow counterproductive. If that suggestion gives him reservations... I'm comfortable with that. I'm also pretty comfortable that most readers are not drawing the same meanings from my words that Malleus was. -GTBacchus^(talk) 21:54, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Moo2ColonyList400.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Moo2ColonyList400.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:36, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OTOH

IMHO, it is better to ignore (and thus marginalize) disparaging comments than highlight them. Accentuate the positive, right? :-) Geometry guy 12:37, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In disputes I agree about marginalisation of disparaging comments (unless I consider it appropriate to nuke, sterilise, vaporise, and annihilate). In the case of the category "FAC fails that fall short of GA", my concern is a practical one - FA reviewers who do not know WP:WIAGA and disparage GAs are quite likely to waste our time with articles which fail FAC but are decent GAs. --Philcha (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but articles can just as easily be removed from the category as they can be added: see the text here. Geometry guy 13:05, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm always uncomfortable with this distinction between GA and FA reviewers. I not infrequently stick my oar in at both places, for instance. :-) --Malleus Fatuorum 21:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

brakes

Things are already starting to look chaotic to me. Step 1 is for Mattisse to publicly reconfirm that she agrees to the mentorship, and to publicly name her selected mentors. A nice set of brakes needs to be applied to all and sundry else. Cheers Ling.Nut (talk) 21:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Moni3/Mattisse stewards arbcom and User talk:Moni3/Mattisse stewards arbcom

Hi Philcha, Many thanks for your help in our attempts to come up with a proposal for ArbCon. What you have written so far seems directed at the mentors rather than to me. Could you come up with a list of behaviors that I should or should not engage in? The list on User talk:Moni3/Mattisse stewards arbcom seems mostly directed a preventing specific accusations of bad behavior, some of which I have only been accused of once in my over three years at Wikipedia. I need help in recognizing the more frequently occuring situations that cause trouble before they become a bonfire.

It seems to me I need to know clearly what a personal attack is and to stop making them.
I need to concentrate on the article content rather than the behavior of editors.
I need to make only a few comments and then drop out of a thread. Can you think of more?

Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 21:08, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Rossen

Hey. Based on your GA review and the nom's response, it doesn't seem like the work is going to be done.

Replaceable fair use Image:Civ 3 Tech Tree Era1.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Civ 3 Tech Tree Era1.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:23, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted the following response to User_talk:Stifle:

I have added {{di-replaceable fair use disputed | The only possible replacements which would not constitute [[WP:OR]] would be: (a)screen shots from similar games; (b) copies of images from manuals of similar games. The only question left is which game you use. This one is suitable because the colours and contrast are readable at a size that fits the page layout.}}
