DYK hooks

Given that fonly 360 people looked at my hook for Department of Post-War Reconstruction (Australia) in 2009 - which I suspect is some kind of record - I'm certainly pleased to defer to your judgement when you say that a hook is dull ;) (though my most recent DYK attracted over 10,000 views, so I do fluke it from time to time!). Regards, Nick-D (talk) 09:54, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

1965

My recent edits have followed on from reading a review in an Australian newspaper of the movie 'Act of Killing' - if you havent seen the article - it would be appreciated if an eagle eye was applied - it looks like a non local has written it up - classic telltale - sumatera spelling...

my use of 1965 in Indonesia today has been apllied to thing long after that refer to it... do you think that is avalid usage? your opinion, as always, appreciated. sats 04:07, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

  • Siska's been telling me to watch the movie... haven't found time yet. I've removed the summary as a probable copyvio of this, which becomes even more evident if we look at when the synopsis was included here. I'm not too sure about your second question, but I think for films we should do as at Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI: include the film's version of events as part of a summary, but if other sources contrast the film's events to actual ones we should contrast them as well. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:26, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
    • If you mean the category, I don't think so as 1965 in Indonesia is for events from that year, not set in that year. Otherwise Kubah, Pengkhianatan G30S/PKI, Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk, and another dozen or so works would have to be there. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:37, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Featured article candidates

Hi Crisco,

Thank you for notifying me of your proposed deletion of the template I just created; I have responded at the discussion location. I notice that you seem to consistently receive plenty of feedback on your frequent featured article candidates almost immediately upon nomination. Do you know why you receive so much feedback so quickly every time you nominate an article for featured status? I have been nominating articles for featured status as frequently as possible for several months now, and each nomination has dragged on for more than a month and all of the nominations have failed due to lack of discussion. I post notices on the relevant WikiProject talk pages, but still nothing. I would be grateful for any advice you are willing to provide.

  • Networking, I guess. If you were to neutrally approach editors you know who are active at FAC and ask that they review an article, it's still permitted. Also, you could help review other people's noms. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:41, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Crisco,
I hadn't realized that approaching other editors that way was considered appropriate. I'll probably start reviewing more nominations as well. Are those the two main things you meant by networking? Thanks for the advice.
Neelix (talk) 01:03, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Karlheinz Oswald

Crisco, I'm hoping this catches you before you're off for the night.

This is the lead hook in Prep 3, and features an image of a sculpture by a living German sculptor. I'm not quite sure how this is possible, even if European laws would allow it—the other two pictures are outdoors, and it's possible this might also be public art of some kind, but it's such a tight shot I'm wondering whether such a reason could be used—because it's there's no justification for any of the three images from Commons including this one, just an "own work" listing. Since you're an expert on Commons and that sort of thing, I'm hoping you can deal with it properly.

It's an odd prep set: there are two Great Eastern Hotel hooks (for English and Indian hotels of the same name), and the Rihanna album hook frankly makes no sense: how can a just-released "reloaded" album have a 930% increase in sales? (The reload couldn't, since it's brand new; the original album might have, or the rules may combine the sales of the two. I'm not clear on this, and neither is the hook.) Unfortunately, I have to leave the house shortly for several hours, so I don't have time to sort all this out. I'm hoping I can leave this in your hands, because I won't be able to get back to it for quite a while. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:33, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

  • K, just opened Wikipedia. Luisenpark seems to be mostly (if not wholely) outdoors, and Germany offers FoP for both statues and buildings so the image would have been fine. I'll try to check out the Rihanna album. I think the Great Eastern Hotels are for the "WTF" factor. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
    • Reworded after consulting the source; it seems to be in a region that combined sales, however. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:48, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for handling the Rihanna hook. As for the Oswald sculpture, it seems odd to me that a work of art can be considered public domain when it's out in public, even if there's no attempt to show it in that context (it looks like it's in a museum even though it's not), but the law doesn't necessarily have to make sense, it just has to be the law, and your explanation of why it shouldn't be an issue here in the US where the law is different was very helpful. I'll try to remember that for future hooks. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:26, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
  • It's not "public domain" per se, but not a violation of copyright to reproduce the statues in 2D. I believe the logic behind it is that statues' worth and receipt of copyright is based on them being 3D; 2D representations may be thought to not impair the copyright holder's ability to enjoy the proceedings of his or her art. Generally this is limited to permanently (no clear definition, generally years) situated works. The US only allows freedom of panorama for buildings; 2- and 3D works of art in the US are fully protected under US copyright. Some countries, such as France, don't allow any FOP. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:11, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Ezra Meeker

PanydThe muffin is not subtle 16:03, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Odd DYK review...

Hi Crisco, I wonder if you would have a quick look at this DYK nomination please? I was raking through the list of nominations to find something to review and it caught my eye as I think it needs three QPQs. I'm asking for you to have a peek as you are an Admin. I may have a vivid imagination (and I know I must be very careful not to wrongly make suggestions) but is it odd that it appears the only contributions of Yas777 are the review and this [1] article, which has predominantly been edited by the DYK nominator?

One more request

If you find time and interest, the article on the film Sholay is in peer review. It is the quintessential Bollywood film!--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:42, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

  • No guarantees, although I've noticed the discussion already. BTW, is Sholay related to the Arabic word for "devout"? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:46, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Unlikely. I am not sure about the root of the word Sholay. It is not used in Bengali language (which is my mother tongue), so not so strong on such words. If anything, it is likely to be related to some Persian word, as loads of Persi words are in north Indian languages.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:51, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Possible, as Malay (one of the main influences on modern Indonesian) was also influenced by Farsi; Hikayat Amir Hamzah, for instance, was brought from Persia. In Indonesian soleh or sholeh means a devout Muslim. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:56, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Languages are fascinating! Especially when you find links between one and the other. Indeed, bahasa is from bhasha, meaning language in Sanskrit it's daughter languages!--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:06, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Definitely! I'll try to review Sholay later, but for now you may want to trim the cast list and ensure "classic" is well supported. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:15, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

  • Replied there. Better to take the safe route, especially since there is no indication that the changes were done by the uploader. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, Crisco. Nominator has now swapped the image as per your suggestion, so it looks fine now. I'm afraid I'm useless at image licenses! SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, at a quick glance, they look helpful. A quick heads up, there seem to be problems with the DYKQ - I think Casliber might be working on the duplicated hooks but a problem with another hook (the mammoth 16 article one) has just been flagged on the DYK discussion page. SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:42, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Press conferences and copyright

Hey Crisco, are recordings of public press conferences copyrighted? In this case, the recordings appear to have been later collected and released on an album: [2] and [3], for example. This came up in the review for the Bowie album Never Let Me Down; just curious whether these links are permissible or whether the album's info should simply be cited without a link. Thanks! -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:26, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

  • I hate audio files . Copyright depends on who recorded it, who was reading, any background music (doubtful for a press conference), and the content of the speech. The recorder has a copyright for that specific recording, the reader has copyright over how the work was presented, and the writer has copyright over the specific contents. In this case (without opening the file, poor connection) I think it would be safest to avoid giving links as the uploader may own a copyright on a recording, but the text and presentation are likely not his or hers. Any decently sized, human-created text is enough to attract copyright, no matter the degree of originality. A press conference is an essay is a short story. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:35, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
  • K, thanks. I'll recommend that it not be linked. -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram

Looks like it go promoted, and then PumpkinSky banished it from the lead slot because the image was impossible to see to the final slot in the last prep. You can see the discussion at WT:DYK#Prep 3 photo.

I think this hook is long enough that the prep set ought to be only five hooks, not six, but can't judge whether a crop of the photo (the elephants on the right side of the main bas-relief could make a nice, 340x240 image that might look decent at 100x100 (about 100x70 visible), though the crop would have to be made and loaded. Can I leave this in your hands? The hook would be a good fit timewise in the new prep 3 after the current one is promoted to a queue. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:51, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

  • Two elephants
    Two elephants
  • One elephant
    One elephant
  • Thanks, Crisco. I think I was wrong, though. The two elephants one doesn't look as good as I'd hoped—the rock and carved sections don't make that strong a contrast—and the single elephant, while okay as an elephant despite the mediocre contrast, doesn't give a sense of the monument at all, which I think would be the reason you'd want an image in the first place. I appreciate your doing the crops; I'd actually been thinking of an image that included more of the relief face, and I see that won't work at all at that size. Since PumpkinSky has moved the hook to the second slot of Prep 2, I'm reasonably content—the slot runs during local morning and midday, which is perhaps even better than Prep 3 in terms of timing—so let's leave it where it is. (It's an odd prep set, I must say: none of the hooks is in the least bit quirky, and the final three involve a public hanging, a recently deceased cinematographer, and a sinkhole that killed 15 people. Unfortunately, I won't have time to deal with it today.) BlueMoonset (talk) 14:15, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Yeah, it's hard to get some good contrast in those images. Sorry. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:31, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Ultimately, it's not a problem. While I think it's nice to place such huge multi-article hooks first, if there isn't a good image, there shouldn't be a guarantee. I'm getting to feel that such large hooks—upwards of ten articles—are a bit of an imposition: they take a month or more to review, and suck up a lot of energy into a single hook that could instead power a dozen. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:58, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Why not bring it up at WT:DYK? I think there'd be some support for the idea... the US dinosaur one was the straw that broke the horse's back for most people. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:40, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

the delights of dumping

someone should have an online blog called the delight of lists maybe the joy of lists - and no guessing where they could get enough for a lifetime ....  :( sats 05:59, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

tying the shoelace in sequence with 600 million other shoe owners - I may have misread the intention of the ip but the dumping issue rears its flagellent properties again at Indonesian flag - do we need each regulation in triplicate? your opinion once again, and no I will not upload my photo of me in my i edit wikipedia t shirt under any circumstances. sats 05:10, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
it has the delightful quality of the person trained in training and assessment who starts the lesson with, I am about to tell you this a,b, and c - a,b,c - I have just told you a,b, and c, and summarising this we have just learnt about a,b,and c - completely fogetting to actually say what a, b, and c are.

Thanks twice! from Babel41

Hi Crisco, thanks for encouraging me (as the Radical centrism page's primary editor) to reduce the list of See Also's there. You are right, it was time ... have now done so.

And thanks for informing me that the Mark Satin-counseling-draft-dodgers picture will be on the main page May 14. What great news. The photographer took it as a young woman just after arriving in Toronto from the U.S. - she'll be thrilled, I'll let her know ASAP. I think the caption as it stands is fine (nor too short, not too long, not POV), and I've been monitoring the Satin page pretty regularly, so I think we'll be fine there also. - Babel41 (talk) 05:37, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Need your help.

I saw the comments that you made for me to promote List of Academy Awards for Walt Disney to FL status. First of all, thank you for your comments.

  • Based on your second comment, I have rephrased the sentence. Is it fine now?
  • In your fourth comment you said that "significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field for the motion picture cartoon" would not be NPOV. The thing is I could the quote directly, as it was, from Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (you can see the source). So I can't really do anything about it. Do you have an alternate solution?
  • In your sixth comment you told me that this image, would be a nice replacement for the image I have used right now. But for that I need to confirm that there was no copyright symbol on the trailer. Can you tell me how to do that?

Thank you for the image check at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Freedom for the Thought That We Hate/archive1. I've responded there at the FAC page.

Oh, yeah, no worries and thanks again for the image check. I'm just getting worried because we've had several helpful contributors (including WP:GOCE itself) do several passes at copyediting, the title of the book itself indicates an interesting issue related to the topic of freedom of speech, and yet so far not much interest from Wikipedia users in commenting on this one.

:(

Anyways, thanks very much for all your help so far.

  2. Your recommendations were all good and I did not object to any of them.
  3. Therefore, I just simply implemented all of those changes directly to the article itself.
  4. Hopefully the prose is improving to the point that one or two perhaps out of the 100,000 Wikipedians that are active in existence on this planet might one day think the article is worthy of WP:FA quality status. :) That would be nice. — Cirt (talk) 23:16, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

FP on Manhattan and NYC articles

I noticed that you changed an image out at both of those articles. The image that you replaced does also happen to be a FP (although only on two wikis and wiki commons), and it shows better on the Manhattan and NYC articles, being that it's such a small image in those places. So the borderless version has better visibility and is still a FP, and thus I suggest that you put the cropped image back.

Regards,
--ɱ (talk) 21:58, 30 March 2013 (UTC) 00:20, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Feel free to revert, but the bordered version is the one promoted on the English Wikipedia and it is the one which will be on the main page in... oh, about two years. If it is not in those articles, then those articles will not be chosen for the main page bold link. The standard is to replace alternatives with passed FPs, although this can be reverted by those who maintain the articles. As for why the bordered version was passed on the English Wikipedia and not the borderless version, please see the nomination. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:19, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

oddness

Java Heat sounds like something I could do without - why is it film makers have to utilise cliches with such naive idiotic minded unbridled uneducated enthusiasm to over-do some things beyond any reason or even logic - bit like some of the dumb movies about bali and krakatoa - why do they do it? - when I spent days walking the streets of Manhattan, and took the ferry around it I was liberated for life - all those dumb night helicopter shots of new york were expunged like some deep religious experience, there were people there, they were friendly and not a single movie cliche jumped out at me in kms and hours of walking....

T-T

Hi Crisco, I've re-scanned at a higher spec and had a bit of a clean up of the T-T image. I've got absolutely no idea about the standards of the FPC criteria. I think there are some which this passes fairly easily, but when it talks about "high technical standard" I have no frame of reference for what is considered "high". Is the image too poor quality to think about a future FPC, or is it a viable prospect. Cheers! - SchroCat (talk) 07:59, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

  • I don't think this version, as it stands, is a viable FP. It's not very sharp at full size, which is the first thing they'd look at (did you use one of those artistic filters?) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:32, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism at the Mark Satin bio

Dear Crisco, - A ciuple of hours into the Mark Satin draft-dodger picture being posted on the Wikipedia main page, there is vandalism on the Mark Satin page: infobox is missing, main picture is missing, and Arabic lettering has been inserted before the min text.

I have never tried to reverse other people's edits, but I will try. Of course, that may only infuriate the vandal(s), and it's nearly midnight here and I lack the stamina to stay up and keep minitoring this. Can you help? And can we get a lock on the Satin page, at least temporarily? I feel foolish - should have asked for this earlier, it was so predictable that this would happen - war evaders are not this planet's most favorite people, I'm afraid. - Babel41 (talk) 06:54, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

We've already been assisted in bringing down the Controversy section of our page due to our cyber-stalkers spreading lies about us. Just because our investors are Mormon does not mean we are a Mormon school.

I would like this picture to be featured on the main page on April 24, 2015 which is the day that will mark its 100 year anniversary. But it just seems so far away...is it possible to have it scheduled for April 24, 2014 as well? Proudbolsahye (talk) 01:37, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Yep, it's scheduled here. You can add the blurb if you want; just make sure to keep it neutral. We can state the year it occurred (1915), but a date would be pushing it (especially since there were multiple events) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:53, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Sorry...

Hi Crisco, sorry, I seem to have inadvertently opened a can of worms with the passing comment I made about Idiom dictionary earlier. My apologies for having given you extra work! Purely by chance, I'd come across another nomination last night with inaccurate information but managed to get the nominator to check/change it before it hit the main page this morning. SagaciousPhil - Chat 11:17, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

  • No biggies, it happens (and I may have been the one who moved it from prep to queue anyways... don't quite recall) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:18, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for looking at the article. Please note that there's more to be done and I have provided some details at the article's talk page. You don't have to be the one to do more work on this but I'm not sure of the exact process, myself. Advice on how to proceed in resuming work on the article would be helpful, if you have any.

Hi, this one is on the board since April 25, could you please review this? Regards, Zia Khan 23:47, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Crisco, I've only just stumbled over this: sorry it took me too long to find it, or I would have added my obvious support to it. (I've also just found out what the little red box at the top of my screen means too, and am feeling an even bigger idiot than I was before! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 12:26, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

  • LOL. Well, I'll try again... next week maybe. Or you could? I want to give the place a bit of cool-down time, but obviously they consider it high enough quality. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:29, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
  • I don't mind doing it - I've just nominated another, which is my first FPC, so once that goes through I'll pop in the other image. Cheers! - SchroCat (talk) 12:38, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Oh yeah, don't forget to transclude the page. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:41, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Of course I forgot to transclude it! Should be up and running now. Thanks for the reminder! - SchroCat (talk) 12:48, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Can you have a look at this?

Hi Crisco, could you have a look at this Adrian Schoolcraft nomination to see if you can fathom what is going on, please? It's also just been promoted to Prep 3 without the hook being formatted? Mind you, the whole article/hook strikes me as being mainly negative about a BLP? I was going to flag it on WT:DYK but feel I've caused enough trouble over there already! SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:09, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

  • No, you're right. The reviewer promoted the hook he reviewed, which is a big no-no. Feel free to stop by the nomination and express your concerns about the neutrality / appropriateness of the hook. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:15, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Matjan Berbisik

Queue building

Hi, I noticed that we're both active in building sets for DYK, and that today I nearly added a prep area when you had already started editing it, which would have been immensely inconvenient for you had you edit-conflicted with me. Do you think it would be worth it establishing a convention of adding the {{In use}} or similar to a set before editing or would this be more hassle than it's worth? --Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 23:17, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

  • It might be worth discussing at WT:DYK. When, exactly, was this? If it was what is now queue 1, that may have been an issue indeed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:24, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
    • I believe it was, since I realised when I was unable to review Template:Did you know nominations/Buchwaldoboletus lignicola that you had promoted it to prep 1, but if I had picked another article to promote I would not have noticed we were building the same set concurrently.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 23:30, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
      • I'll try and leave a template next time (didn't expect anyone to be building as we were already at 4 empty preps) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:37, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
        • Ok, I'll do the same. I suppose I could copy the entire page before saving, so if there is a problem I can just paste it into another prep set, is there anything that is specific to which set it is or are they all the same?--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 23:40, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Semar Gugat

Geology of North America at DYK

Hi Crisco 1492, I see you contributed to the above DYK review. The original editor (Tobias 1984) seems to have been put off DYK for ever; meanwhile, the IP editor (it seems clear there is only one) is vehemently opposing the DYK which seems to other reviewers including both of us to be of acceptable quality.

The IP claims geological knowledge, and asserts multiple copyvios. If the latter is true - I've asked for details - then of course they must be removed. The IP is insisting on the article's being error-free and "good geology and geography", which is way above DYK level. For me, this is basically disruptive behaviour, and certainly very time-consuming, leaving out the effect it had on Tobias 1984; I remain agnostic as to whether the IP is correct or not about the geology.

The IP has several IP addresses, and at some of them has raised similar but not such long-lasting issues on at least one other DYK.

What is the appropriate course of action here? I've never seen such a case at DYK. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:39, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

  • Replied there. The whole nomination is a mess. Short and sweet: assertion of copyvio needs to be backed up, major errors need to be pointed out, and if either are confirmed they need to be cleaned up. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:27, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
  • As a side note, this is an interesting diff. Not the kind of edit a well-meaning expert would make. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:29, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Thank you for stepping in, Crisco. Well, I did step in by giving the nom a question mark. Who knows what could have the articles and nomination happened if we both have not stepped in? What do you think? By the way, I want to give you a beer or a barnstar, but I can't find which. --George Ho (talk) 01:00, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks is enough. I'm curious about the editor's reply, as I dropped a pretty big gauntlet.03:32, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

The same IP editor replied in Template:Did you know nominations/Geology of North America. I hope he's not making any more trouble; otherwise, report him in wp:ANI. --George Ho (talk) 03:41, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

  • Yep, watchlisted. He or she seems to be willing to communicate, which is good. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Apakah itu forum sejarah (mengingat ada kata "Keesings Historisch Archief") atawa, itu kumpulan anggota dari sebuah forum (mengingat adanya sekumpulan nama orang di bawah kata "Keesings Historisch Archief")? --Akbar ini dari Kalbar 03:53, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Inundation, Gibraltar

Crisco, this still needs a COI/promotional review component; I was wondering whether you could supply it, so the article could then be promoted (assuming there is neither COI nor any promotional aspect to the article). Thanks.

Incidentally, I restored the Gibraltar sections of the special occasion holding area, which had apparently been unilaterally deleted by SpinningSpark a couple of weeks ago. I think I would have noticed an RfC on Gibraltar; absent that, this section needs to hang around until the restrictions are repealed. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:15, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

  • Agree about reinstating such a section. I had intended to mention the COI/promotional aspect, but I guess I wasn't explicit enough — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:21, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
  • The emphasis on neutrality might cover promotional (though it's a stretch), but someone can write with perfect neutrality while still having a conflict of interest; they're really two different things. Thanks for adding an explicit comment. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:02, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
  • I thought it didn't matter if DYK writers had a COI, only that it did not affect the neutrality of what they wrote.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 15:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
  • @Blue: Alright, I'll remember that for next time.
@Gilderien: Gibraltar has... special requirements. But I really don't agree with them... if only the RFCs would go my way once in a while. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:15, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

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) 23:56, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Question re DYK

How is five times expansion calculated for DYK? By word count? I'm trying to expand a longish page and if word count I might make it, though g-books finally died on me, so maybe not. Anyway, just wondering. Thanks. Victoria (talk) 01:47, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

  • By characters of readable prose (text in the article, excluding block quotes, references, and lists). So, for example, Friedrich Carl Albert Schreuel would need another 4,472 characters of prose to reach 5X. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:26, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks, that always confuses me. Would you mind checking Baby Doe Tabor for me? I started here. I think it's close but am not totally sure. If it's good, I'll try to submit. Need to think of a hook. Victoria (talk) 21:52, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Agree, it's reached 5x. 4650 * 5 = 23,250; you've got 23,454.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:48, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks, for some reason the tool I have (Dr PDA) only shows 23kb, not 23,454 - so I didn't know. No room for tightening the writing though, that's for sure! Victoria (talk) 00:45, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Image of newspaper

Hello,

I posted the following on the Journalism Wikiproject talk page and was told you might have the answer to this question:

I created the article Colorado Springs Business Journal and found that there are images of newspapers and journals on commons with the {{Non-free newspaper image|image has rationale=yes}} tag. I tried to upload the image (from here), with that tag. On preview, I saw that the image would be a candidate for immediate deletion because it was a disallowed fair use image.
How might I go about getting an image that would be able to be used without a copyright concern?
Your help would be greatly appreciated!--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:05, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
  • This is certainly not "disallowed". Do you want to use this particular image? Personally, I'd take an established scan (i.e. like at The Jakarta Post) then upload using the exact same rationale, only changing the source and name of the newspaper. You can use the plain form for that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 18:11, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks! That helped a lot!--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Looks good. My only suggestion would be to reduce the image's size a little (perhaps down to 300px wide), as all the extra pixels are going to waste — Crisco 1492 (talk) 19:35, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
I'm a little confused, ok maybe more than a little confused. Within the article, the size is set to 200px. If you mean change the pixels in the actual file, do you mean resize within a photoeditor and upload the image again? (I could reduce by a percentage, but I don't know how to resize by pixels. I've never been able to figure out how to upload a new version of a file). Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:43, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
Never mind the part about uploading a new version. I see on Wikipedia (vs. commons) there's a button that can be clicked to upload a new version.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:50, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
