The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar |
Thank you for completing 5 reviews in the October 2020 GAN Backlog drive. Your work helped us to reduce the backlog by over 48%. Regards, Eddie891 Talk Work 14:01, 19 November 2020 (UTC) |
I rather think KV 73q should be included with the doubtful works if we speak in WP-voice, as the source situation is similar to KV 73l (it's true Breitkopf & Haertel got KV 73q from Nannerl, but even then doubted it). I do wonder why it made it into the AMA main volume rather than the supplements though; might be good to research. Also there is some distinct difference in levels of doubt – I understand that while for nine of them possible authorship of Mozart (but with caution) is generally conceded (that would be 42a, 45b, 73l, 73m, 73n, 73q, 74g = Anh.C 11.03, 75, 111b), I am not aware of anyone currently advocating for authenticity of KV 16a or KV Anh.C 11.04 = 98. Perhaps the latter two should be treated simply as spurious. But I am only a Mozart fan and not an actual musicologist, so I may not be up to date with the latest research on the matter. Double sharp ( talk) 00:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Please use article talk pages for issues regarding a specific article. The "lost" full reference is at Discography of Bach's Magnificat. Someone must have removed it from the original article, possibly while, in the mean while, Amazon is frowned upon as a reliable source, or maybe I did erroneously when splitting off the discography list many years ago. But again, please, such issues should not be raised on user talk pages, but on article talk pages. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 06:17, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Aza. Sorry for having to contact you like this, but I wonder if you could carry out a source review for Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/1989 (Taylor Swift album)/archive3? If not, I wonder where I could contact a source reviewer for FACs... Thank you so much, and hope you're having a great weekend, HĐ ( talk) 11:18, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi there, Aza24, and welcome to Women in Red. On the basis of the impressive work you have been doing on composers and early music, you should be a real asset to our project. While you say you are mainly interested in improving articles up to GA or FA class (see also wp:Women in Green), we hope you will be able to devote some of your time to creating new articles. In this connection, you might be interested in our redlists on women composers from Wikidata and from the International encyclopedia of women composers. If you come across any others you think deserve articles, you can add them to our crowd-sourced redlist. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!-- Ipigott ( talk) 09:55, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Why did you remove my edit from Leonardo Da Vinci’s page? Editor man12115 ( talk) 04:43, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
While Leonardo was certainly buried in the collegiate church of Saint Florentin at the Château d'Amboise in 12 August 1519, the current location of his remains is unclearand
A plaque above the tomb states that its contents are only presumed to be those of Leonardo. If you put that he's buried in "Chapel of Saint-Hubert" you are inserting an unconfirmed piece of information into the infobox, a place with limited space that doesn't allow clarification or explanation on the issue.

On 16 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the first of many monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven is a bust (pictured) created in 1812 by Franz Klein during the composer's lifetime? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, List of monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I did a lot of of copy editing and pruning up to the "Uses" section. That section seems 95% off-topic to me, so I'm not the right person to edit it (I'd cut almost all of it out!). I hope at least I've left the rest of the article in better shape. - Special-T ( talk) 15:23, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you removed the UDP tag on Joseph Stiglitz; sorry for not being more verbose in my edit summary – VentureKit was a very active farm and I simply didn't have time to write verbose explanations for everything I did, but as noted there, VentureKit involvement is almost never my sole reason for tagging. In Stiglitz' case, there are also a number of SPAs or near-SPAs in the page history ( [1], [2], [3] [4], [5]), which, when present to this extent, is usually a red flag for UPE. If you're confident that all of these edits were unproblematic (I didn't have time to examine them closely), I have no issue with you removing the tag, but I do want to object to the statement that it is "pointless": This amount of SPA activity, plus involvement by a major sockfarm definitely merits looking into.

Hi,
I was wondering if you could do a source review for 91st Academy Awards for featured list promotion. I would greatly appreciate the help.
The list of monuments to a monumental person is monumental! Do you think that you could quickly write an article about one of the monuments, or an artist, which would be good for DYK? ... which should mention the list! I have written a few short related articles, but would much like if it didn't look like my personal thing. I'd be quite willing to help and nominate, but no later than tomorrow if we want to stay with the regulations. I still have to work on 2 of these ... -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:34, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Aza24, hope all is well. On my peer review, you expressed an interest in reviewing this article at FAC. As such, I was wondering if I could interest you in commenting at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/O Captain! My Captain!/archive1. I'm loathe to request favors, but it seems that nobody is very interested in giving it a review and the co-ords have suggested that it may be in danger of getting archived. Hope your holidays are pleasant and I wish you and yours all the best as we enter a new year. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I was referring to the use of "#tag:ref". I did not know if it would permit the use of embedded refs (no documentation) so I switched to a documented template. I am sure the text used for <ref>, "refn", and "efn" is the same size. I appreciate the use of "group=n" make the note designators more distinctive, I have also seen "group=note" which is even more dramatic.
The Felix Mendelssohn article was started almost 20 years ago. I doubt the "efn" template even existed. Poor formats/techniques/methods get copied by editors from favorite articles used as templates.
I believe "refn | group=n | ..." will produce the same results as "#tag:ref | ... | group=n" and might not be as picky about syntax. Personally, I like the parameters before the text.

Hello, Aza. I hope you are doing well. Thank you for your source reviews on my previous FACs for Blank Space and 1989 (Taylor Swift album).

Hello Aza24! I know that this is not a more modern article, but was wondering if you would be able to take a look at " Paint It Black" and comment at its peer review? I would appreciate your input (eg a source review or otherwise) and am reaching out per your comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Shake It Off/archive1, of which I am a co-nominator. I am curious your views on areas for the article's improvement and if you think that it is ready for FAC as I am fairly new to FAC and this is my first one where I am "leading" the charge.

Hi, thank you for all your comments in the peer review for the Gibraltar national football team results. I want to now nominate it as a featured list candidate (it will be my first nomination of an article to featured status). To do so it says I must make sure the peer review is closed.

On the 1985 Tour de France review, you write "What makes van den Akker, Pieter a high-quality reliable source if it's self-published? How is there credibility or oversight here?". A valid question to ask if a source is high-quality and reliable, but why do you relate that to self-published? As far as I know, a publisher does not do fact-checking or peer-review. Another book is the book by McGann, published by Dog Ear Publishing, which was a "self-publishing company", so that is effectively the same as self-published, just in a different structure. Why do you focus on the self-published?
I'm not saying you did something wrong, I just want to learn more, so I know which sources to 'avoid' when I add info to an article. -- EdgeNavidad ( Talk · Contribs) 08:03, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer! Should we give self-publishing publishers such as Dog Ear Publishing (they provided optional proofreading and copy editing, but the cheapest package just printed whatever you sent them) the same treatment? In other words: is having a publisher enough to be excluded from WP:SELFPUB, or are there requirements for the publisher? -- EdgeNavidad ( Talk · Contribs) 20:44, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for Portrait of a Musician, introduced "... about Leonardo da Vinci's only known male portrait, and the first of his three famous black-background portraits. I've long been fascinated with Leonardo's works, and this one caught my eye to the point where I felt I had no choice but to improve its article. A big thanks to CaroleHenson who gave a thorough GA review and Ceoil, whose continuous suggestions, copy edits and encouragement was invaluable. Leonardo holds a special place in the art world, not just for his immense fame and prestige, but for the endless heated debates over attribution, dating, intent and subject matter – more so than arguably any other artist."! - A wonderful first TFA!

Hi Aza24, just a quick comment regarding the Sorabji article. The sentence listing compositions is easier to navigate at present but I wonder if "he is best known for his piano music/works", when followed by a list, could be read as saying that all his piano music falls into those two categories (nocturnes and large-scale compositions).

Hey - I was just wondering why you removed the cleanup lang template on Ukiyo-e?
The reason I added it in the first place was that I have roughly 400 pages on my watchlist, most of which are Japanese culture articles in need of language tags; my hope was that someone else other than me might add them, for a change.
I'd like to have done it myself, but it's a huge article, and not one I can do all at once. Rather than leave it, I added the template in the hopes that someone who isn't me might do so; MOS:ACCESS is a guideline, as you said, not policy, but accessibility is important. If the article was smaller, I genuinely would have done it without adding the template first - that's pretty much all I do on Wikipedia these days.
Also - I would've thought manual of style guidelines like MOS:OTHERLANG, though just a guideline as you pointed out, would've been acknowledged as important to improve Wikipedia's accessibility.
I have to say that I honestly do not see the point of removing the template. I'll go off and add them in myself, I guess, like you said, but I don't think it improves things to reduce other editors' awareness of the importance and need for accessibility on Wikipedia. -- Ineffablebookkeeper ( talk) 11:03, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi there, I just wanted to reach out and see if you were interested in doing a source review for the FAC for The Heart of Thomas. No worries if you're not available or are uninterested, I just figured I'd ask since you were midway through a source review in the first FAC. Thanks! Morgan695 ( talk) 05:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Aza24, you did a source review for this article on its first nomination for FA. I was wondering if you fancied repeating this for its current nomination. No pressure. Gog the Mild ( talk) 16:09, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

I rather think KV 73q should be included with the doubtful works if we speak in WP-voice, as the source situation is similar to KV 73l (it's true Breitkopf & Haertel got KV 73q from Nannerl, but even then doubted it). I do wonder why it made it into the AMA main volume rather than the supplements though; might be good to research. Also there is some distinct difference in levels of doubt – I understand that while for nine of them possible authorship of Mozart (but with caution) is generally conceded (that would be 42a, 45b, 73l, 73m, 73n, 73q, 74g = Anh.C 11.03, 75, 111b), I am not aware of anyone currently advocating for authenticity of KV 16a or KV Anh.C 11.04 = 98. Perhaps the latter two should be treated simply as spurious. But I am only a Mozart fan and not an actual musicologist, so I may not be up to date with the latest research on the matter. Double sharp ( talk) 00:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Please use article talk pages for issues regarding a specific article. The "lost" full reference is at Discography of Bach's Magnificat. Someone must have removed it from the original article, possibly while, in the mean while, Amazon is frowned upon as a reliable source, or maybe I did erroneously when splitting off the discography list many years ago. But again, please, such issues should not be raised on user talk pages, but on article talk pages. -- Francis Schonken ( talk) 06:17, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, Aza24, and welcome to Women in Red. On the basis of the impressive work you have been doing on composers and early music, you should be a real asset to our project. While you say you are mainly interested in improving articles up to GA or FA class (see also wp:Women in Green), we hope you will be able to devote some of your time to creating new articles. In this connection, you might be interested in our redlists on women composers from Wikidata and from the International encyclopedia of women composers.

Why did you remove my edit from Leonardo Da Vinci’s page? Editor man12115 ( talk) 04:43, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
While Leonardo was certainly buried in the collegiate church of Saint Florentin at the Château d'Amboise in 12 August 1519, the current location of his remains is unclearand
A plaque above the tomb states that its contents are only presumed to be those of Leonardo. If you put that he's buried in "Chapel of Saint-Hubert" you are inserting an unconfirmed piece of information into the infobox, a place with limited space that doesn't allow clarification or explanation on the issue.

On 16 December 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article List of monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/List of monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, List of monuments to Ludwig van Beethoven), and it may be added to the statistics page if it received over 400 views per hour.

I did a lot of of copy editing and pruning up to the "Uses" section. That section seems 95% off-topic to me, so I'm not the right person to edit it (I'd cut almost all of it out!). I hope at least I've left the rest of the article in better shape. - Special-T ( talk) 15:23, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you removed the UDP tag on Joseph Stiglitz; sorry for not being more verbose in my edit summary – VentureKit was a very active farm and I simply didn't have time to write verbose explanations for everything I did, but as noted there, VentureKit involvement is almost never my sole reason for tagging. In Stiglitz' case, there are also a number of SPAs or near-SPAs in the page history ( [1], [2], [3] [4], [5]), which, when present to this extent, is usually a red flag for UPE. If you're confident that all of these edits were unproblematic (I didn't have time to examine them closely), I have no issue with you removing the tag, but I do want to object to the statement that it is "pointless": This amount of SPA activity, plus involvement by a major sockfarm definitely merits looking into.

Hi,
I was wondering if you could do a source review for 91st Academy Awards for featured list promotion. I would greatly appreciate the help.
The list of monuments to a monumental person is monumental! Do you think that you could quickly write an article about one of the monuments, or an artist, which would be good for DYK? ... which should mention the list! I have written a few short related articles, but would much like if it didn't look like my personal thing. I'd be quite willing to help and nominate, but no later than tomorrow if we want to stay with the regulations.

Hi Aza24, hope all is well. On my peer review, you expressed an interest in reviewing this article at FAC. As such, I was wondering if I could interest you in commenting at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/O Captain! My Captain!/archive1. I'm loathe to request favors, but it seems that nobody is very interested in giving it a review and the co-ords have suggested that it may be in danger of getting archived. Hope your holidays are pleasant and I wish you and yours all the best as we enter a new year. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

I was referring to the use of "#tag:ref". I did not know if it would permit the use of embedded refs (no documentation) so I switched to a documented template. I am sure the text used for <ref>, "refn", and "efn" is the same size. I appreciate the use of "group=n" make the note designators more distinctive, I have also seen "group=note" which is even more dramatic.
The Felix Mendelssohn article was started almost 20 years ago. I doubt the "efn" template even existed. Poor formats/techniques/methods get copied by editors from favorite articles used as templates.
I believe "refn | group=n | ..." will produce the same results as "#tag:ref | ... | group=n" and might not be as picky about syntax. Personally, I like the parameters before the text.

On the 1985 Tour de France review, you write "What makes van den Akker, Pieter a high-quality reliable source if it's self-published? How is there credibility or oversight here?". A valid question to ask if a source is high-quality and reliable, but why do you relate that to self-published? As far as I know, a publisher does not do fact-checking or peer-review. Another book is the book by McGann, published by Dog Ear Publishing, which was a "self-publishing company", so that is effectively the same as self-published, just in a different structure. Why do you focus on the self-published?
I'm not saying you did something wrong, I just want to learn more, so I know which sources to 'avoid' when I add info to an article. -- EdgeNavidad ( Talk · Contribs) 08:03, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer! Should we give self-publishing publishers such as Dog Ear Publishing (they provided optional proofreading and copy editing, but the cheapest package just printed whatever you sent them) the same treatment? In other words: is having a publisher enough to be excluded from WP:SELFPUB, or are there requirements for the publisher? -- EdgeNavidad ( Talk · Contribs) 20:44, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for Portrait of a Musician, introduced "... about Leonardo da Vinci's only known male portrait, and the first of his three famous black-background portraits. I've long been fascinated with Leonardo's works, and this one caught my eye to the point where I felt I had no choice but to improve its article. A big thanks to CaroleHenson who gave a thorough GA review and Ceoil, whose continuous suggestions, copy edits and encouragement was invaluable. Leonardo holds a special place in the art world, not just for his immense fame and prestige, but for the endless heated debates over attribution, dating, intent and subject matter – more so than arguably any other artist."! - A wonderful first TFA! Hope you feel more often that you have no choice but make something great. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:08, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your extensive contributions to the article Lady with an Ermine. I was wondering whether it is complete and ready to be nominated for a Good Article status. Oliszydlowski ( talk) 03:12, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi again,
Is it possible that you could do a source review for the 51st Academy Awards regarding its featured list candidacy? I want to put the finishing touches and/or have a final proofread.
Hi Aza
Thank you so much for doing the source review at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Billboard number-one country songs of 1951/archive1. If you have a spare five minutes, might you also be able to take a look at this one? If not, no worries....... -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 08:28, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
I see you have created Talk:Quantz (disambiguation), but it only has {{ WikiProject Disambiguation}}. Please see Template:WikiProject Disambiguation#Usage, thanks. ~ Ase1este charge-parity time 05:54, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Aza24, just a quick comment regarding the Sorabji article. The sentence listing compositions is easier to navigate at present but I wonder if "he is best known for his piano music/works", when followed by a list, could be read as saying that all his piano music falls into those two categories (nocturnes and large-scale compositions). Is this an issue or am I merely seeing things? Thank you. Toccata quarta ( talk) 07:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

The Reviewers Award | |
By the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this award in recognition of the thorough, detailed and actionable reviews you have carried out at FAC. This work is very much appreciated. Gog the Mild ( talk) 20:07, 6 March 2021 (UTC) |
On 5 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article F. Andrieu, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that F. Andrieu was the composer of Armes, amours/O flour des flours, a double ballade lamenting the death of his colleague Guillaume de Machaut? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/F. Andrieu. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, F. Andrieu), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey - I was just wondering why you removed the cleanup lang template on Ukiyo-e?
The reason I added it in the first place was that I have roughly 400 pages on my watchlist, most of which are Japanese culture articles in need of language tags; my hope was that someone else other than me might add them, for a change.
I'd like to have done it myself, but it's a huge article, and not one I can do all at once. Rather than leave it, I added the template in the hopes that someone who isn't me might do so; MOS:ACCESS is a guideline, as you said, not policy, but accessibility is important. If the article was smaller, I genuinely would have done it without adding the template first - that's pretty much all I do on Wikipedia these days.
Also - I would've thought manual of style guidelines like MOS:OTHERLANG, though just a guideline as you pointed out, would've been acknowledged as important to improve Wikipedia's accessibility.
I have to say that I honestly do not see the point of removing the template. I'll go off and add them in myself, I guess, like you said, but I don't think it improves things to reduce other editors' awareness of the importance and need for accessibility on Wikipedia. -- Ineffablebookkeeper ( talk) 11:03, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi there, I just wanted to reach out and see if you were interested in doing a source review for the FAC for The Heart of Thomas. No worries if you're not available or are uninterested, I just figured I'd ask since you were midway through a source review in the first FAC. Thanks! Morgan695 ( talk) 05:33, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Aza24, you did a source review for this article on its first nomination for FA. I was wondering if you fancied repeating this for its current nomination. No pressure. Gog the Mild ( talk) 16:09, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Aza! I looked at the good topic page for Paper Mario and noticed that it's titled as a featured topic, and links back to Wikipedia:Featured topics instead of WP:Good topics. Was it accidentally named a featured topic? P anini 🥪 15:44, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Aza you forgot to put the Paper Mario nomination into Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Featured log/March 2021. GamerPro64 00:25, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Ok next point. You have been putting the Good Topic nominations in the wrong section. There is a page for Good Topics with Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Good log/March 2021. GamerPro64 00:52, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

I noticed your edit on Guillaume de Machaut and I tried to make an article on Gilbert Reaney. Hopefully you have more information and can expand it. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 22:49, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
