Thanks for the in-depth DYK review. Sometimes when I create articles on notable topics, there aren't that many sources even though they are notable which makes me worry about accidentally close paraphrasing something. SL93 (talk) 20:48, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Gosh, you're amazing, Bobamnertiopsis! I just bookmarked it to check out next time I'm at Quatrefoil Library. Thanks for starting this article & getting it to FA status & a DYK! = paul2520 (talk) 16:12, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Paul2520! It's not a great book but definitely an important one in the history of queer literature and worth checking out, especially because it's so rarely recognized. I came upon it during some research on another project and was bummed that it not only lacked an article but any mention anywhere on Wikipedia. So it felt like a good lacuna to address! —Collin^{t c} 18:13, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

File:X A Fabulous Child's Story cover.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:38, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey there, it's been a week since my last comment here, and you haven't responded with regards to the nomination. Are you still planning to pursue it? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey Bobamnertiopsis, I stalk your page and saw Narutolovehinata5's message. If you want help, I'd be happy to address Narutolovehinata5's concerns. = paul2520 (talk) 01:53, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey all, thanks for this. I've been especially swamped this week and haven't been able to give this nomination/article the attention they deserve. I feel like there are two issues here: first, the hook fact is uninteresting. I don't necessarily disagree with this but after skimming the article, don't really see a more exciting one. Paul2520, if you see anything that you think might be worthy of a hook, feel free to propose an alternate (and thank you for offering to help on this! You're too kind!) The other issue is the notability tag that has been placed on the article. I've located some offline sources that refer to the journal and may be of use in establishing its notability; two are listed on the article's talkpage. The first, the Review of Reviews piece, is accessible to me here in New York, I just need to take a trip to the library's microfilm room. The second, the St. Paul Pioneer Press editorial from July 27, 1939, is inaccessible to me as there appears to be no digitized copy, I don't know the page number so I can't request an interlibrary loan copy, and I'm not in Minnesota to access the available microfilm held at the St. Paul Public Library (and possibly other MN libraries, I haven't checked). So to your question, Narutolovehinata5, I'm happy to withdraw the nomination unless Paul2520 has a more interesting hook for now. The article is in good shape, except requiring additional notability-confirming material, and if that can be located, I might go for a GA nomination down the road and renominate for DYK if it passes. Thanks both for your care on this! Kindly yours —Collin^{t c} 03:15, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, Bobamnertiopsis! I will take a look tonight. And am interested in helping with the GA, should you have more time in the near future. CC: Narutolovehinata5. = paul2520 (talk) 12:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

revisiting List of Hennepin County Library branches

Hello again, Bobamnertiopsis! I want to revisit nominating List of Hennepin County Library branches as a FL. I feel that it meets the criteria.

I believe your biggest objection in the past was that not every library has a note. Well, I think if they haven't all been renovated (or we don't have any reliable source stating they were), that's not relevant according to the FL criteria. Likewise, after perusing a few other featured lists, I feel this one is on par. Pending review, and I'd make time to address comments.

Further proof: Lauren Bacall on screen and stage is a FL that doesn't have a note for every row in the table.

What say you? = paul2520 (talk) 19:44, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey Paul2520! I'd be down to reexamine this page as I think it's definitely near the FL level. I agree that not all rows need a note but I think the thing to agree upon before nominating this for FL is what the notes criteria are and then making sure that those criteria are evenly applied across all the rows. Right now, it seems like the one thing we're including is whether libraries replaced older branches, so I think we should just double-check our sources to make sure that none of the branches without any notes currently have no notes because they weren't replacing any older buildings. I think it might also be a decent idea to include those branches that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a separate sentence in their respective notes sections. I can go through and doublecheck sources for consistent formatting/add archive links, and can make sure the table meets accessibility requirements as well. How does all that sound? —Collin^{t c} 22:23, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

That sounds great, Bobamnertiopsis! I was planning to stop by the library anyway, so I can see if the Benidt ref is available.

Luckily, National Register should be entirely public, so that should be a matter of checking each library (if not already mentioned in a source).

Do you think we should put the year refs in a separate "Reference" column? I recently saw a use-case for copy & paste of a table off Wikipedia & having ref in the same cell results in need to pre-process. Not that this should be the only reason. We could see what other lists do. = paul2520 (talk) 22:52, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

We now have notes for all the libraries!

I ended up adding a couple lines to North Regional Library that I didn't think we needed in the table (since the table notes are more about the buildings themselves).

The article Southdale Library mentions renovations 1992-1994, citing memos. Right now, I'm only mentioning upcoming renovations. I feel like we could extract the citations, but I'd rather see them specifically. Thoughts?

Re: Washburn, I would like to check-out this at the library as a next step.

= paul2520 (talk) 01:45, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

See also Talk:List of Hennepin County Library branches#other references regarding what I've been up to. = paul2520 (talk) 01:48, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Hey Collin! I updated the Washburn notes. In summary, the reference that said 1990 was not a great one, as it was an architectural/planning document in 1990, but the work was done in 1991. The Ryan reference I used is good & mentions some work/openings of other libraries, in case we want to bump it against what we already have / have another reference.

Any further additions/edits you want to make? Otherwise, I'd be happy to submit the nom. I haven't done it before for FLs, but I am happy to learn & do the legwork; I know you're busy! = paul2520 (talk) 17:19, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

I hope I'm not being a nuisance! I went ahead and submitted the article for peer review. Will do what I can to respond to feedback.

I very much appreciate all the work you've put into this! = paul2520 (talk) 23:19, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey Paul2520! Thanks for putting up with my lack of communication; I appreciate too the work you've done on this, which at this point has been "most of it". I'm going to try and run through tonight for work on sources and then after the peer review we can submit to FL? —Collin^{t c} 02:03, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Sounds good to me! = paul2520 (talk) 03:15, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

Happy new year, Collin!

I was curious, given this is my first featured anything process, how long do we wait for feedback on Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Hennepin County Library branches/archive1? = paul2520 (talk) 02:11, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Happy new year Paul2520! I actually have no insight into Wikipedia's peer review process as I've never tried it before. Why don't we give it another week or so, til the 14th, which will make it two full months and if we don't hear anything by then we can try our hands at WP:FL? —Collin^{t c} 07:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Sounds great, Bobamnertiopsis! = paul2520 (talk) 15:51, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

💜 Happy Valentine's Day, Paul2520. It looks like we're at two months from the Peer review submission so I'd say let's make a go of the FL process. I've taken a look at Wikipedia:Featured list criteria and I think we can make a good case that this satisfies the criteria, in which case we can try taking it over to Wikipedia:Featured list candidates when you're ready. —Collin^{t c} 20:34, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

@Bobamnertiopsis: thanks, and happy valentines day right back at ya! 💜

Sure, I can review and nominate (unless you would prefer to?) tonight or tomorrow. I am traveling, but should be able to make time for this. = paul2520 (talk) 20:59, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

No worries, I am not especially busy right now so I'll go nominate. —Collin^{t c} 21:05, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey, Bobamnertiopsis! Not sure if you saw the FL discussion. I made most of the requested changes (would appreciate your review).

I think the suggested merge makes sense. I have time today, and did most of a demo merge yesterday. Let me know what you think & I'd be happy to just be bold and do so today.

Will be sure to leave the original List page as a redirect & have the edit summary link back for attribution. = paul2520 (talk) 13:48, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

@Bobamnertiopsis: Thoughts? I can do this tonight, if you think the merge is a good idea. = paul2520 (talk) 20:49, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

@Paul2520: Sorry for the slow response. I think that there's a case for this list to exist as a standalone, regardless of the quality and content of the Hennepin County Library article, but that we could certainly do more to make this clear with the expansion of the lede section. If we were to do a merge, the HCL article would need to be substantially improved if we were to nominate it for FL or FA, considering there's a great deal of system history not currently reflected in the article. I think perhaps our best bet is to try to improve the list as is for now by expanding discussion of the trajectory of branch openings and the reasons the HCL (and Minneapolis Public Library before it) opened branches where and when they did. This would allow us to keep the current FL nomination open, if we want that, or we could withdraw the nomination for now, do more work, and renominate once we feel the article is ready, without the time pressure of an ongoing FL. Let me know what you think! —Collin^{t c} 21:25, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

No worries! I'm just excited to move forward on this process.

I could see either way, per your comments... do you think we could just push back keeping the list as-is? The commenters (link for reference) seem to be suggesting rather than insisting on the merge.

Do you think there are more refs supporting the "branch" trajectory of HCL/MPL? I thought we did a pretty good search about the branches themselves. = paul2520 (talk) 21:38, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

I recently got access to Newspapers.com which has a ton of archived newspapers from Minnesota. I'm guessing there's a lot more detailed content in there about individual branches and possibly about city and county plans for branch expansion. (If you'd like access too, head over to Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library and request it!) Let me poke around Newspapers.com to see what I can find for a few days to see if there's enough to expand the list without having to combine it. —Collin^{t c} 01:48, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Good call. I put in a request to renew my subscription. I've used it in the past, but not so recently. = paul2520 (talk) 13:21, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

@Bobamnertiopsis: Good news -- I got my access renewed, for both Newspapers.com and NewspaperARCHIVE. I don't think I'll have time today, like I had hoped. But I can see about doing some research this week. = paul2520 (talk) 00:05, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey Collin! I hope you're doing OK with quarantine. I've seen some productive edits from you lately, so that's encouraging :-)

Just wanted to see if you saw my reply on the FL candidate page. Does my proposed change make sense? I'd like to make some progress on the FL. = paul2520 (talk) 21:56, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey Paul2520, thanks for checking in. Sorry my mind hasn't been with this project in the last couple weeks. I'm not sure exactly what the consensus at the FL nomination page is right now–to move some (or all) of the text to the main Hennepin County Library page? To try and keep them separate? If we want to combine them then the resulting HCL page will not be ready for a Featured Article nomination, and the List of branches will no longer exist. If we want to keep them separate, I think more work still needs to be done to beef up the List of branches which I started work on a few weeks ago and made some decent headway on. In any case, let me know where you're at so we can effectively collaborate here. Kindly —Collin^{t c} 20:49, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, Bobamnertiopsis. Totally get it that your mind is elsewhere. These are crazy times.

I personally feel sort of "in limbo"... when the responses first came in, I actually did a trial merge (and intentionally didn't publish it until we spoke). I feel confused on what the best route forward is: (a) do we call the review comments consensus that the page should be moved?, or (b) kinda with you that the list makes sense. But I'm fine merging & doing the leg work. Would be fun to do a FA, and still have the same table.

I guess I can go either way, and will defer to you since you started the list in the first place! = paul2520 (talk) 22:15, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Hey Bobamnertiopsis! Just wanted to check-in. What's the next step for the FL? = paul2520 (talk) 04:07, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

@Paul2520: Congrats and thanks for all your work on this project! Thanks for pushing this project forward! Kindly, —Collin^{t c} 00:56, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Likewise, Collin -- it's been a joy working with you.

I submitted it at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/Submissions § List of Hennepin County Library branches, condensing the lead into the sentences that might be most interesting to casual readers. Feel free to edit.

I wasn't sure if there was a day/week to suggest... ideally some anniversary, or if we knew the system was completely opening again! = paul2520 💬 18:52, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Congrats Paul2520! Way to push the list forward, it's nice to see it on the main page today! —Collin^{t c} 17:38, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

I'd be happy to collaborate again on a FL/GA/whatever! Also you can definitely add a new star to your userpage ;-) = paul2520 💬 18:58, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

George Floyd protests

If you are able to, the article George Floyd protests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the background section in particular, could use greater depth and more contributor voices.

Hi,

your signature does not resemble your user name, that may cause confusion if that bothers you.

I have worked on a couple of articles that mention the above journal, some years ago, so my curiosity is piqued to see it appear at FA. Illuminate me on how this obscurity fell on your desktop :) ~ cygnis insignis 15:30, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Cygnis insignis! Thanks for the message! What was the origin of all this, good question? I was looking something or other up about some turtle on Google Scholar a few years back and encountered one of Raymond Hoser's papers from his self-published journal. My immediate response was absolute bafflement; I fell down the rabbit (snake?) hole that is the controversy surrounding his prolific (self-)publication history and in the process discovered the controversy surrounding Wells and Wellington's papers in the AJH in the '80s. Whereas the AJH case was largely resolved in 1991, Hoser's case with the ICZN is still ongoing so it felt a lot more achievable to write a complete and coherent article about Wells and Wellington's work. It was also a good opportunity to get acquainted with the rules of nomenclature, which was largely unknown to me before the writing process. I hope you enjoyed the article! —Collin^{t c} 15:43, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

I had a little to do with the Hoser article: https://sigma.toolforge.org/usersearch.py?name=Cygnis+insignis&page=Raymond_Hoser&server=enwiki&max= and split out some stuff on Venomoids when prompted by a reference to WP:Coatracking - sigh. ~ cygnis insignis 16:25, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for Australian Journal of Herpetology (renamed Wells and Wellington affair), indroduced "Perhaps surprisingly, there are no FAs about academic journals! The Australian Journal of Herpetology might seem at a glance like an inauspicious choice to be the first contender: the journal published just four issues and a supplemental series between 1981 and 1985 before disappearing. However, behind these numbers is a wild story about two rogue researchers (one an undergrad student, the other a high school teacher) who commandeered this unassuming journal and published three papers of their own with no peer review in which they collectively proposed "more taxonomic changes [to Australia's reptiles] than had been proposed by all other authors in the previous decade." Their efforts ignited controversy in the herpetological community, leading to an appeal to the highest body in faunal scientific nomenclature to officially suppress their work. Did it succeed? And what aftereffects of their "terrorist tactics in taxonomy" are still felt today?"! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:49, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Opinion on a Cusi Cram image?

Cusi Cram in 2015?

Hi. I found a Creative Commons Attribution licensed video https://vimeo.com/125513786 with fine images of maybe 20 actresses and female directors that we have articles for, and am in the process of uploading screenshots for them. However, I'm only 80% sure which one of them is Cusi Cram, which is an article you wrote, so I hope you can confirm: in the purple, at 0:30, is that her? (Most of the others are clear, but for this one, her appearance seems to have changed somewhat drastically over the years, weight, hair length, hair color, all of that.) --GRuban (talk) 22:22, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
