GA Sweeps July update

Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of 290 articles were swept in June! Last month was our second most successful month in reviewing articles (after May). We are currently over 70% done with Sweeps, with just under 800 articles left to review. With nearly 50 members, that averages out to about 15 articles per person. If each member reviews an article every other day this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. This may sound difficult, but if everyone completes their reviews, Sweeps would be completed in less than two years when we first started (with only four members!). With the conclusion of Sweeps, each editor could spend more time writing GAs, reviewing at the backlogged GAN, or focusing on other GARs. Again, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. Feel free to recruit other editors who have reviewed GANs in the past and might be interested in the process. The more editors, the less the workload, and hopefully the faster this will be completed. If you have any questions about reviews or the process let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 18:02, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Another Question

Hello again. I have read through the links, they are very helpful. Thanks. I have made the changes to the headings and subheadings, italics instead of bolds and moved the external links to a "links" section rather than in the article. I have changed the footnotes (thanks for help on that!)and I believe I did as you instructed for the reference list but a strange thing has happened in the Reference section of my article. I have the references repeating themselves multiple times. I am not sure what I have done to get this result?

Also, I am interested in building a "sidebar" with a picture and summary of Mulford's life (similar to what is found on Carl Sagan's Wikipage) but for one thing, I don't know what to call it so I can't search for help on creating it within the article. Can you direct me further?

I believe I have otherwise met the verifiable and reliable sources requirement (although I admit that I have wondered if interviews/personal diaries can be considered valued biographical sources in Wikepedia); I believe I am maintaining a neutral point of view, and I believe Mulford's life to be notable as evidenced by the large collection at UCF of his life's work.

Once I have everything done I'd like to ask for one last "preview" to see if you see any other glaring problems. Thanks for your help. DianeRR (talk) 04:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps August update

Thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts to the GA Sweeps process, a total of 215 articles were swept in July! We are currently nearly 80% done with Sweeps, with under 600 articles left to review.

community reassessment of Special Relativity

I noticed that you weighed in on the discussion regarding the participation of scientific (for lack of a better term) and mathematic articles in the GA process. Here is the link:Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#Mathematics_GA_status. I did the GA Reassessment for Special Relativity found here. This along with GaryKing's review have helped to trigger this issue. I do try to tread lightly in subjects that I am not familiar with and I am attempting to apply the GA Criteria. I don't feel as though I am being myopic, which is why I submitted it to a Community Reassessment rather than summarily delisting the article. So far the reassessment has not been very robust and so I'm writing to seek your opinion on how to move forward with this particular "hot potato". If you feel it meets the Summary Style requirements that Septentrionalis is advocating then I'm all for keeping it and moving on. Economy of effort and cost vs. reward are to be considered. Your thoughts would be appreciated. H1nkles (talk) 22:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Only the 2 main opposers (Dbachmann and Roux) have been generally rude. I didn't want to call them out by name, but because of the way I explained it, some interpretted it as if I was talking about everybody.

SPI

[2] On this edit... Were you planning on performing the blocks? It doesn't look like a CU was requested, so I'm not sure if your decline refers to the prospect of blocking or the need for a checkuser (although your comment suggests the second). Nathan T 20:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I have been away on vacation, and now I see that the last request has been closed. User:Avathaar, who is Dr. Jhingaadey, has now reappeared and is speaking out. I have replied to him. We need to do something about the situation. His indef block should be reinstated. Actually it has never been rescinded, but he was allowed by one admin, in spite of objections, to create the Avathaar account. It is that account that needs to be indef blocked. He simply should not be allowed back under any guise. Brangifer (talk) 04:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Employer Objections to Contributions

I am concerned that my employer, USDA/ARS, may ask me to remove my contributions on Diorhabda beetles from Wikipedia (and possibly WikiSpecies and WikiMedia; see for example Diorhabda carinulata) on the grounds that my agency did not approve the content and the content relates to my work. Since most of my contributions were made on my own time, they do not purport to represent my agency, and they summarize information from public domain articles, I am not sure of a basis for complaint. Nor has my employer indicated any particular objection to the content. One of their concerns may be possible future editing by others that may not reflect favorably on the agency. But my employer is not anywhere credited with the content of the article.

In case my employer asks me to remove the articles...how is this done? Also, can you provide any advise for discussing this with my employer?

Rationale for move of Senkaku Islands to Diaoyutai Islands

Hi. Could you explain your rationale for moving Senkaku Islands to Diaoyutai Islands? There's a lot of discussion on the talk page about that, including a few votes for keeping it at Senkaku. On your edit comment you stated "no objections on the move" - where could objections have been voiced? Just a curious question from a fellow admin. Thanks -- Chris 73 | Talk 19:28, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I think you would have gotten more response if you would have discussed the move on the talk page rather than a request for citations [3]. Consensus can change, but this was a bit too unilateral for my taste. You probably will get a few comments on the move on your talk page within the next few days. For the reference, my preference would be Senkaku, but my preference is not strong enough to undo another admins actions. Cheers, -- Chris 73 | Talk 19:46, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I'm contacting you because you offered a review last time I asked for one, and now I'm working on a new portal. It's nowhere near ready for a full-blown review yet, I've only started hacking at it today, I was just looking for some input before I started on a lot of menial stuff- there are currently only two shark-related FAs, but there are over 30 GAs (all of the GAs are species). I have already added the FAs as selected articles, but do you think I should use the GAs as other "selected articles", or should I list them all as "selected species"? I don't really consider two selected articles enough, but, on the other hand, I'm not really sure what to have as a secondary "selected article" box, if not "selected species"... J Milburn (talk) 14:03, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I guess I've missed you, but I probably won't be about tomorrow anyway- thanks a lot for the advice (I hadn't touched the introductory stuff yet- that still needed some attention!) but would you say there was a problem without a "secondary" selected article section (selected biography, selected species, etc). Do you think the portal could be featured without that? Sorry for the poor phrasing, not all here... J Milburn (talk) 22:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
I've worked on the portal significantly over the last couple of days, and it's really starting to take shape. There are now well over thirty selected articles, so no problem there, and I've found a couple more pictures for the selected picture section (up to four now). I've left a few questions lying around, so hopefully some more content will emerge in the coming days. I've also reworked every section (and removed some entirely). I think it's looking great, but it still lacks a section that is usually filled by selected biography, and was filled with selected species in my fungi portal. This means that there's only the three "look at our lovely content" sections (selected pictures, selected articles, DYK)- do you feel another is needed? I thought maybe a "selected distribution", showing maps like this one- there are literally hundreds, and they are in use on the vast majority of shark articles. This adds a little visual interest while remaining very encyclopedic and factual. What do you reckon? Any comments you have on the portal generally are very welcome. J Milburn (talk) 18:33, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Great- so bump up to around ten selected pictures (selective choices, obviously) and then you feel it is ready for FPOC? Is there anything you feel the portal is obviously lacking? J Milburn (talk) 20:16, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Gosh, I didn't realise it was so many. Would that include 20 batches of DYK hooks (totalling 100 total hooks)? J Milburn (talk) 21:57, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Cool, I'll keep this as an ongoing project, now that I've done most of the work- hopefully it should be ready to nominate in a couple of months. Thanks a lot for your comments. J Milburn (talk) 22:02, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikispecies

GAR and {{ArticleHistory}}

Hi there, when you complete a GAR, please remember that the process of updating {{ArticleHistory}} is a bit different from what you did over at Talk:National Football League playoffs:

  1. The GAR action is noted as "GAR", not "GAN".
  2. The date should be the date of your reassessment, not the date of the original review that passed the article in the first place.

You probably know this already (I'm guessing this was a slip-up or a copy/paste issue), but I thought I'd remind you anyway—sorry for being a pain. When you update {{ArticleHistory}} for any article, it's a good idea to scroll to the bottom of the Talk page and check whether a redlinked category, Category:ArticleHistory error, is present. If it is, then something went awry :) Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Sustainability article

Alan and Ohana – the latest edits on the Sustainability page are, to my mind just not acceptable. The article is at present of a high stabndard, aiming for GA at least and possibly FA. Aden and Skip have been suspected of at least tandem editing and possibly sock puppetry (see enquiry). Both are editing the Lead which has been worked on by a team of editors extensively. This is provocative to say the least. The editing is not IMO constructive in any way. I understand that editing is “ongoing” and that “ownership” is always an issue but the review process of the article has taken over a year by a team working together, with the exception of Skip who has constantly created difficulties. Unfortunately, IMO the article can only deteriorate under this sort of editing. Can nothing be done? Granitethighs 05:20, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Please see the discussion at User talk:Flowanda#More information required. I don't understand if and how persistent self-promotional spam fits into the code qualifications listed. As I said on my talk page, there is an ongoing cycle of editing abuse, and these editors' recent actions after the latest Afd and SPI initiation (blanking pages, removing large chunks of their content from an article about a company it appears they no longer work for) indicate they have no intention of respecting any of the policies that have been explained to them a number of times by a number of editors and will instead continue to recreate the same kinds of NN articles and make the same non-policy arguments when they are contested. If there's a better way to prevent this and help turn these users into productive editors, please let me know. Thanks. Flowanda | Talk 16:33, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I thought this was strictly a Checkuser issue and that I was screwing up the entire SPI because I filed it the wrong way. I'll add the code letter and the diffs to support the above. Thanks. Flowanda | Talk 17:41, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Wiktionary welcome template

Thanks for your criticism. It is a common one, and something I have been meaning to look into. My take is that while the text of a template may be uninviting, I think it is clear from the actual interactions at wikt:User talk:Peregrine Fisher that Wiktionarians can be helpful and welcoming. It is actually supposed to be a welcome template, not a caution. I don't think that welcome template reflects well on us.
