Spelt
[edit]Hi Nvvchar, please see [1], [2], [3], [4] and so on. "Spelt" is a perfectly standard past participle of "spell". In fact, it is "spelled" that is marked as specifically American. (This is somewhat similar to "burnt", "learnt", "leapt", etc.) Also, BTW, if you would like to create the article Uttanka, please feel free to go ahead.

For your contributions to bring Bangui to Good Article status. Thanks, and keep up the good work! I hope you will see the value in your work on such topics. We must get more African and Latin American articles up to GA. Central America is yet to have one on a place, so after Badajoz, let's pick a Central American's city of province to get up to GA status! ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC) |
You're most welcome, am very grateful for your edits during my absence. I'm still not feeling overjoyed about wikipedia at the moment but look forward to making the needed edits to Badajoz over the next week. Offhand I think some of the sections need proofing, I spotted some words I'm not sure were translated entirely correctly but generally it looks in good shape. Perhaps you and Rosie could help fill in a few of the red links. After Badajoz, I say pick one of the Indian temple articles we did as a DYK or something or a Central American city. We have a whole backlog of DYKs to choose from anyway. One or two of the Antarctica GAs I think we could get to FA status actually given that they are as comprehensive as possible and quite well structured. Remember my Abuwtiyuw is an FA at that length. ♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 18:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Nvvchar, Thanks for the work you, Rosiestep and Dr. Blofeld have put into developing Ibitekerezo. I've made just a few adjustments and added wikilinks to strengthen it further. If you've got the time to nominate it for a DYK, please feel free - more African topics on the main page is always a good thing. :) Lemurbaby (talk) 22:32, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
DYK for Marikamba Temple, Sirsi
[edit]![]() | On 21 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Marikamba Temple, Sirsi, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that when Mahatma Gandhi visited Sirsi in 1933 during his campaign to abolish untouchability, he refused to visit Marikamba Temple (pictured), as animal sacrifice was a prevalent practice there? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Marikamba Temple, Sirsi. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

GA
[edit]Nvv, can you not nominate articles which you intend being an RBN thing for GA unless at least I'm in agreement with you that it's ready to be nommed? I don't think Kanchi Kailasanathar Temple is ready for GA yet and will need significant work before it is.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:41, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
- Kanchi Kailasanathar Temple: IMO, Not ready for GA. Many refs were from WP:MIRROR Gyan. Removed them. Please replace refs. Some other refs may be problematic. Lonely planet is not so reliable for history of a temple. Also, Translation of Kailasanathar as “Lord of the Cosmic Mountain” seems off. It simply means Lord of Kailash. Also WP:PEACOCK like " very elegantly carved" is a problem. --Redtigerxyz Talk 17:16, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

- Many things in Nag Panchami userpage version seem WP:UNDUE. We do not need to discuss generic legends about Nagas. We should restrict to the Nag Panchami day legend. Sarpa satra as used in Janamejaya (possibly already too long for 5x) seems to be incorrect. No RS uses the term. Can you please give me the Devanagari of this, if you know. I know about Astika, Jaratkaru as I worked on Manasa. Uttanka, I know, but he is not related to Sarpa yagya as far as I know. --Redtigerxyz Talk 19:31, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Teatro Español
[edit]Hi Nvvchar, how is Delhi ? Guess I haven't introduced myself yet. The Voracious Wikipedian, or the swan behind the gnome, as Rosie says. I have finished translating the article in question, but could not understand where you got the info about two brotherhoods. I've checked it and it is only one, although I don't remember if it's referenced or not. I have added the references copied from the Spanish article as well, but there's no page number there. Perhaps you could check them and decide which of the two reference forms to use, if that Harvard one, although I think there's not so many for this, or the one I used. Nonetheless, I would like to thank you and congratulate on your endeavor as for improving Teatro Español. Oh... I almost forgot. Please, could you list it at DYK, including Rosie's name and mine too of course ? Let's chat one of these days by the way... :) ! Krenakarore TK 15:37, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

The Great Ziegfeld
[edit]Can you check the spellings of the songs and writers and also source the $220,000 part and clarify what cost that?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:32, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Can you check to see if each book source lights up to the correct book in the bibliography and that any books listed which were removed during the copyedit are also removed from the bibliography? Can't find the Grey citation. Also can you check the source for "Initially, the main cast proposed for the film included Marilyn Miller, Irving Berlin, Gilda Grey, Ann Pennigton, and Leon Errol" ;Irving Berlin was a composer, so it is doubtful he'd have been cast as an actor in the film. I'll continue to work on it today, the music section could still do with improvement. Needs more information about each song and choreographed scene given that is was a landmark musical. I was hoping that there would be a book or two documenting production in detail with info on where it was shot etc but can't find anything unfortunately. Critically the film is now generally seen less favorably with a lot of critics thinking it too long and over the top, but there are still a lot of critics who really enjoyed the film and praise its elegance. My perception of the film would be similar to that when it came out, and I think for its time especially, it was a magnificent production. $220,000 for one set in 1936 would have been exorbitant by today's standards. I'll add the currency inflation templates to see what that would have been today. What I can't find critical comment on though is the film's humor, I thought not only the musical scenes were impressive but I thought the dialogue and character interaction at times was very funny.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:27, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Can you also source "but the producers concluded that Billie Burke was not a big enough star at that point to play herself in The Great Ziegfeld." and the info about the design with 70 and 85 performers? I've asked Rosie to look into two remaining aspects, after a final scrub I think it'll be close to GA. Appreciate both of you helping.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:07, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
I'll let you and Rosie wrap it up before giving a final read and copyedit and posting at GAN. Really pleased with the developments on this and the foundations you laid on this before me.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:10, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
I've nommed Ziegfeld anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:01, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
