Your GA nomination of Atlantis: The Lost Empire

All together, a very nice article. I would however, suggest finding more relible sources to confirm the awards than IMDB's award page. Should be easy enough to do. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:33, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Oops. And having just seen above that it passed GA, my suggestion is moot and far less pressing. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:34, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Peer review limits changed
[edit]This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.
While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.
If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:48, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Need advice
[edit]Hi, Doctor Negative! I see that you are a very good, highly-accomplished Wikipedia editor. I've devoted my editing mostly to video gaming, and made a few GAs, however, recently I promoted my favourite cartoon Ed, Edd n Eddy to GA. I'd like you to take a look at the article and tell me how far it is from FA? It would be highly appreciated. :) All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 16:28, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll look it over when I get a chance. :) DrNegative (talk) 19:05, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks :) --Khanassassin ☪ 19:45, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
Ok, at first glance it looks really good. I would go ahead and put in a request to WP:GOCE to give the prose a nice polish as they can sometimes take awhile.
As for the sourcing, and I know this can be extremely tedious, but most FA reviewers treat a DVD just as they would a book. I myself was hit with this on Atlantis: The Lost Empire...they want you to cite timestamps for easier verifiability, just as you would cite a page number for a book (Ex. DVD Special features: Making of cartoon at 1:34-2:10). This is especially important for direct quotes.Also be careful with the dates in your sources, they should all follow the same format (Ex. Month/DD/YYYY). Some of the sources mix them around, pick one format for all. This is also a standard held for the entire article as well, so just make sure that they all match the format presented within the article.Do your images have Alt text for readers with poor vision? FA's are generally expected to have this.WhoWOnWin.com andWebProNews.com will probably come under scrutiny as a high quality source expected in FA's. Be prepared to defend them if you cannot find any other source for verification.Source #22 needs a work or publisher field.
That is the most obvious issues I have with it at this time. I know most of this may sound nitpicky, but you would be surprised what your reviewers will nail you on. Hope it helps you in your FA pursuit. Feel free to ask me any questions in the future and I will try to offer my best advice should you desire it.. DrNegative (talk) 20:57, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice! Luckily, the issues you pointed out right now aren't that bad. Just this, I'm not a native English speaker or any English student, so would you mind telling me what the work "scrutiny" means? You used it in the WhoWonWin/WebProNews issue You pointed out. And, just out of curiosity, did you ever watch Ed, Edd n Eddy and if so, what did you think of it? :) Hope you don't mind me crossing out the issues on this page. :) All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 12:20, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ah ok. :) As to "scrutiny", I mean singled out, thoroughly examined or investigated, questioned. DrNegative (talk) 20:46, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- Oh and yes, I have seen the show before and it was a good one. DrNegative (talk) 20:48, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- Heh, really thanks for the advice. I been through FA (never passed) with a video game Broken Sword 1. the reviewers were harsh, they were like: "It says Oktober instead of October once. You shall not pass!" :) Thanks again. All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 08:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- OK now that I fixed the current issues (minus "WebProNews.com"), I'd like you to take final look at the article. Also, would this be a nice replacement for "WebPro?" - >>Click here<<
- I made some tweaks and fixes, I also found a more reliable source from which the WebProNews article was based upon and inserted it. I see no further issues with the article at this time and would support it as an FAC after a copyedit from the Guild. DrNegative (talk) 14:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- Wow! Thanks! I requested a copyedit, and it'll probably take a long time (I see most requests aren't even touched), so I'll check the article just once more and go ahead and nominate it. On the other hand, List of Ed, Edd n Eddy episodes is lacking votes at its FLC, and could you please go check it out and vote Support/Oppose? All the Best, --Khanassassin ☪ 15:13, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Top Critics
[edit]Hello, I invite you to weigh in about "Top Critics" scores from Rotten Tomatoes at this discussion. Erik (talk | contribs) 13:23, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- I apologize, I did not realize you already weighed in. (Having my coffee now...) Can you comment specifically about the lack of static measurement? I may be in agreement with you on the merits of such scores if it was not for that. Erik (talk | contribs) 13:37, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Erik, my position is mostly neutral in regard to the top critics. I see both the good and bad of using it. However, in regards to the regional variation, I feel we should take a similar stance that the Video Games Project takes. For example, PC Gamer has editorial reviews in the US as well as the UK, many time those two will differ in scores given to a video game. They simply acknowledge it as such by specifying which one gave which score. In our case, we have RT with a main US site and satellite sites such as the UK, similar to PC Gamer. The problem with RT seems to be redirects, as if you are a US IP, you need a proxy to view the UK site, so as such this hurts WP:V. The only way to get past this in my opinion is to some way specify to the reader that the top critic scores are based on the US site. It does present a dilemma as to how we could reach a consensus to go forward though.
- I also acknowledge that the level of scrutiny RT has received by editors for RT's selection of "Top Critics", but in my opinion that is none of our concern as editors, as we simply write content that is verifiable from a reliable source and notable enough for the article, all of which RT satisfies. In my opinion, we are no more worthy of discrediting RT's choice of the top critics than we are of approving them. It is not our place to decide that, it is always the readers.
- I will gladly stand by and support whatever the Films project decides to do, whatever the case may be. DrNegative (talk) 03:33, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- I agree that the regional variation affects verifiability, but I cannot think of a good solution short of contacting Rotten Tomatoes staff and asking them to present such scores in a more static fashion. Before we found out about this issue, I recall discussions about only reporting the "Top Critics" score if it was substantially different from the overall score. (This was especially apparent with comic book films.) I honestly thought the "Top Critics" score was removed, but I saw that it is now even more tucked away (and further obscured by dynamic measuring). I do not think we are necessarily compelled to use everything a source has to offer. For example, we have good reason not to use user ratings from Rotten Tomatoes and other such websites. Nor do we use the "Fresh" or "Rotten" labels in Wikipedia articles since it is more of a gimmick than an informative measurement. Anyway, do you think we should contact RT about the scores? Or do you have any other ideas? Erik (talk | contribs) 15:53, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- I completely agree about the user scores as I am sure they are not subject to review by RT editors. I say we contact them, ask them if there is a way that they can include the international critic scores within the aggregate, or at least give us the option to verify them easily as a separate entity. If they cannot, we adopt the KISS principle and leave the top critics out to appease editors with this concern (which also means removing it from thousands of articles), and also forbid it within the Films guidelines. The only other option would be to find a second party reliable source which reports the other scores which I don't think even exist. DrNegative (talk) 20:34, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
Non-free rationale for File:Daocconceptart.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Daocconceptart.jpg.

Inflation adjusted costs of USAAF aircraft
[edit]I undid your edits to give inflation adjusted prices for the Mustang and Flying Fortress. The calculation is not really valid for them. As the template warning says "This template is only capable of inflating Consumer Price Index values: staples, workers rent, small service bills (doctor's costs, train tickets). This template is incapable of inflating Capital expenses, government expenses, or the personal wealth and expenditure of the rich. ". Costs paid by government on large capital items when the nation is on a war economy are unlikely to be directly and easily calculated. GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:49, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Main Page appearance: Atlantis: The Lost Empire
[edit]This is a note to let the main editors of Atlantis: The Lost Empire know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 15, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 15, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Atlantis: The Lost Empire is the first science fiction film in Disney's animated features canon and the 41st overall. Set in 1914, the film tells the story of a young man who gains possession of a sacred book, which he believes will guide him and a crew of adventurers to the lost city of Atlantis. Linguist Marc Okrand created an Atlantean language for the film (letter "A" pictured). Atlantis made greater use of computer-generated imagery than any of Disney's previous animated features; it remains one of the few to have been shot in anamorphic format. Atlantis, which adopted the distinctive visual style of comic book creator Mike Mignola, is and for being one of the few Disney animated features to be absent of songs. The film premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California, on June 3, 2001, and went into general release on June 15. Due to the film's poorer-than-expected box-office performance, Disney quietly canceled both a spin-off television series and an underwater attraction at its Disneyland theme park. Some critics praised it as a unique departure from typical Disney animated features, while others disliked it due to the unclear target audience and absence of songs. (Full article...)

Disambiguation link notification for September 10
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Long Dark (video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Survival. 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.

Destiny (Video Game) Aricle
[edit]I don't know if the IP will stay the same, as I tend to move around a lot these days, but I would like to thank you for keeping the fan reaction part of the Destiny article intact. I will freely admit that I'm the original author and that I'm an Xbox player. Originally, when I read what Bungie did and saw the reactions on its forums, I was furious. So I came here to basically vent, but then I realized that I'm going to do no one any favors. And probably end up being banned, which i really don't care about, but I figured that since Destiny has so many problems, I decided to look around for other issues I noticed and that have been reported and decided to make a section out of it. I realize it probably wasn't the best, doing it at whatever time in the middle of the night, and I'm working to fix that and find additional sources.
I should also point out that this is the first time in about a dozen interactions here that someone actually just works to keep something rather than just yelling at me and deleting it. This actually gives me some hope for this community which in the past has been nothing but toxic to me.
- I try to see that every editor who chooses to be bold, whether they be years established or a fresh IP, has a chance to provide meaningful and factual content for the encyclopedia. While your contributions need a little copy-editing to be more encyclopedic in tone, and while being completely unaware of this controversy myself, I noticed that it was for the most part verifiable in reliable sources. Sometimes fans of a game article or any other article for that matter do not like to see an editor tickle the dragon's tail, but Wikipedia as a whole is blind without prejudice (or should be). It demands the sourced, notable facts in a neutral point of view about a particular topic, even in the face of opposition. It seems to me that you attempted to provide that. Obviously, consensus will determine how we move forward with this section in the future but I would like to say regardless of what happens, thank you for your contributions nonetheless.
