Hello. I just wanted to thank you so much for your feedback on the FLC for List of Sega 32X games, and being willing to step up to the plate to give some feedback. I'm a firm believer in reciprocity, so if you ever have a WP:GAN, WP:PR, WP:FLC, or WP:FAC that could use some feedback or a review, feel free to let me know and I'd be glad to take a look.

![]() So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 14:52, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

I have added the following text to the article: "Another possible influence on his emphasis on depicting distressed women in the early to mid 1960s was that his first marriage was dissolving at the time. LIchtenstein's first marriage to Isabel Wilson, which resulted in two sons, lasted from 1949 to 1965."

Hi Crisco, quick question: I'm trying to pin down a better source for an image in Isabeau of Bavaria and while looking to see where else it's used found this. Do you happen to know which language this is? To be specific, I'm wondering if it's Javanese, and if so whether's it's a language you might know. You wouldn't have to disclose if you don't want, but I will be asking Moonriddengirl how we handle this kind of cross-wiki copying (because there should be attribution, I'd expect), and am hoping that the person editing there can somehow be notified by a native speaker. Anyway, thought I'd ask here first. Thanks. Victoria ( talk) 20:53, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Crisco, can I ask you to take a look at this very soon? It's in Queue 1, so it's going to be promoted at 08:00 UTC Tuesday, not so very long after you wake up.
This was one of a set built by first-time prep assembler Futurist110, and unfortunately two errors were made: first, rather than substituting DYKsubpage, it looks like an attempt was made to promote by adding the various bits of template code by hand, which was not very successful. I'm currently redoing all of the promotions.
The second affects this one and one other so far: in a couple of cases, Futurist110 both approved and promoted a hook. I don't have time to do more than fix the promotions; in this case, with an article that seemed to have hook issues and possibly others, I'd like someone knowledgable to take a look at it and make sure it is okay. (The other, Daniel Vineyards, was fairly short and seemed okay, but if you want to take a look at it, too, that would be fine.) Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:40, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm puzzled by your closing comments here, "hasn't enough in-depth coverage aside from tabloid discussions".
I'm not going to defend the Daily Mail. It's a noxious rag and "tabloid" is a fair description, even though it usually passes the bar for WP. The Telegraph though [1] and even the Express [2] are far from tabloids and certainly should be considered as RS.
I'm most concerned though by the way that this was nominated by an editor who trumpets their connection to Wikipediocracy at the top of their user page and the whole AfD seems to be the result of off-wiki canvassing though Wikipediocracy [3]. That is not a way that WP should ever begin to work!
Unfortunately I missed the AfD notice for this one or I'd have commented earlier. Andy Dingley ( talk) 10:00, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for your edits to Ministry of Forestry (Indonesia). I wanted to explain why I used the original title, both for the article itself, and within the article. Both were based on the Ministry's official website, which gave the official English translation of the name of the Ministry as: The Ministry of Forestry Republic of Indonesia. I dropped the 'The', thinking it not necessary, but kept the remainder of the official title/ translation. I agree with you about correct English grammar & standardized Wikipedia title name, but nevertheless had opted for the official title. Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld ( talk) 13:26, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

There are now two sets ready to go. Unfortunately, they both have one of your hooks in them—I suppose I could have left both of them in the same set, as they were originally, but it seemed to me that Indonesian hooks should be separated, especially as one of them was a double hook. I hope, if you're around and there hasn't been a promotion, you can still bring yourself to moving one of the preps to the next queue so it can be moved by the bot. Thanks.

Inspired by a new source of coin images, I've completed Elgin, Illinois, Centennial half dollar. Ignore the red script links, I may still add a bit or two there, I'll remove those sources if I don't. Would you mind doing the honors at DYK? I suggest something focusing on the fact that the dates of the Elgin Centennial (1835-1935) do not appear on the coin.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 00:39, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey Crisco 1492
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

I'm tempted to give him an unblock, but wanted your take on it, too. He showed up on IRC and seems to me that he wouldn't continue the war, but he was totally unaware of WP:3RR. I checked and I don't see any indication he was warned (except in the comments of the edits, which actually only said "3R" and I don't think he actually knew what that even meant).

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

This is a note to let the main editors of Sair Tjerita Siti Akbari know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 18, 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.

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:
Sair Tjerita Siti Akbari is an 1884 Malay-language syair (poem) by Lie Kim Hok. Adapted from the Sjair Abdoel Moeloek, it tells of a woman who passes as a man to free her husband from the Sultan of Hindustan, who had captured him in an assault on their kingdom. Written over a period of several years and influenced by European literature, the work differs from earlier syairs in its use of suspense and emphasis on prose rather than form. It also incorporates European realist views to expand upon the genre while maintaining several of the hallmarks of traditional syairs. Critical views have emphasised various aspects of its story, finding in the work an increased empathy for women's thoughts and feelings, a call for a unifying language in the Dutch East Indies, and a polemic regarding the relation between tradition and modernity. A commercial and critical success, Siti Akbari was twice reprinted; in 1940 it was adapted to film. When Sjair Abdoel Moeloek's influence became clear in the 1920s, Lie was criticised as unoriginal. However, Siti Akbari remains one of the better known syairs written by an ethnic Chinese author, and Lie was later styled the "father of Chinese Malay literature". ( Full article...)

The blurb as it stands now is below:
Albertus Soegijapranata (1896–1963) was a Javanese cleric who became the first native Indonesian bishop upon being created as Archbishop of Semarang in 1940. Born to a Muslim family in Surakarta, Dutch East Indies, in 1910 he converted to Catholicism and was ordained in 1931. First serving as a pastor in Yogyakarta, Soegijapranata was consecrated as the vicar apostolic of the newly established Apostolic Vicariate of Semarang in 1940, moving to the city to take the position. During the Japanese occupation, Soegijapranata resisted attempts to seize Church property, including his vicariate's cathedral, and protected the area's Catholics. During the ensuing national revolution (1945–49) he promoted a nationalist cause, moving his seat to Yogyakarta to support the new government and working to promote international recognition of Indonesia's independence. During the post-revolution years he wrote extensively against communism and worked towards a self-determined Indonesian Roman Catholic hierarchy. He was made an archbishop in 1961, dying two years later in the Netherlands. Soegijapranata is now considered a National Hero of Indonesia and in 2011 a biopic on him was released. ( Full article...)

Can you help the article Swami Vivekananda to achieve FA (and GA status)? The article was nominated, and it failed as the reviewer found a years-old close paraphrasing issue (which has been fixed now). Since my one (GA) nomination failed, I do not want to take risk once again (personal superstition). I don't want any attribution, you can nominate the article. But, I'll be there to work. The next very important date is 11 September (on 11 September 1893, Vivekananda gave his first lecture at Chicago). -- Tito☸ Dutta 00:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Since we have just bent over backwards to make sure the recent Swami Vivekananda hooks were given special consideration for DYK on July 4, I was distressed to see this request, with User:Titodutta asking User:Solomon7968 to nominate a DYK for him, which was subsequently done for Template:Did you know nominations/Swami Vivekananda statue (Golpark, Kolkata). Another request (presumably not yet done) is later made for the article Inspired Talks about a Vivekananda book, with a "Sister Christine" article apparently waiting in the wings.
Although the reason given is the number of nominations Tito Dutta already has in process, it nevertheless has the effect of bypassing the QPQ requirement. Indeed, the statue nomination explicitly says that no QPQ is needed because it isn't a self-nomination. At a time when we're struggling for reviews, this is simply unacceptable. I will be placing a note on that nomination saying that a QPQ will be required, and request that Tito make his own nominations going forward, especially as Swami Vivekananda is his bailiwick and the articles his creation. Crisco, if you think I'm out of line in any of this, please let me know, but whatever the motives, I can't see allowing the QPQ avoidance to stand. BlueMoonset ( talk) 02:49, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Crisco, do you think the image is okay to use? I almost made it the lead hook, but then got stuck. (Rosiestep didn't directly address Tito's worries on the photo.) If it's a publicity photo, I'm assuming it was used as such the year it was taken—when Battista was eight—but was that when she was really eight (1920–21), or after she'd been made two years younger in other stories (1922–23) and was said to be eight although she was ten? If the latter, we're potentially over the dividing line into 1923 (her birthday was in the summer), though the picture of her with Coolidge from 1923 (the year he became president after the death of Harding) makes her look significantly older and a bit tall for lap-sitting. Anyway, let me know. We already have an actor in Prep 1, but she could head Prep 2 if the image is eligible. Thanks! BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:06, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I notice that you have closed the deletion request on Nature of America because of no consensus. However another very similar article Celebrate the Century was deleted. That one too was relisted twice to get better results and like this one did not attract any more results. The only reason that article got a little more feedback was due to my "keep" request and reasoning for keep. Whereas in Nature of America I didn't go to argue and that had only one delete request. In fact that article had little more content than Nature of America has. Was that article worth deleting while this one wasn't? The argument for both were the same.-- PremKudva Talk 04:20, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Do you know the procedure to nominate an article at DYK for the second time? First time it was quick-failed. On 29 December reviewer told the article does not pass length criteria and within 2 days the discussion was closed. Someone else nominated it on my behalf and I did not watchlist the page. See Template:Did you know nominations/Bibliography of Swami Vivekananda
It was one of the most unfortunate failures. The article had 20,000+ bytes in list at that time, we could easily expand the prose section. Anyway, past is past. What we could do at that time, I am going to do it now. It'll not be a difficult task since I need to expand from 400 bytes to 2000 bytes (though I'll attempt to write a fine and engaging lead).

WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 14:52, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

Hi Crisco, quick question: I'm trying to pin down a better source for an image in Isabeau of Bavaria and while looking to see where else it's used found this. Do you happen to know which language this is? To be specific, I'm wondering if it's Javanese, and if so whether's it's a language you might know. You wouldn't have to disclose if you don't want, but I will be asking Moonriddengirl how we handle this kind of cross-wiki copying (because there should be attribution, I'd expect), and am hoping that the person editing there can somehow be notified by a native speaker.

Crisco, can I ask you to take a look at this very soon? It's in Queue 1, so it's going to be promoted at 08:00 UTC Tuesday, not so very long after you wake up.
This was one of a set built by first-time prep assembler Futurist110, and unfortunately two errors were made: first, rather than substituting DYKsubpage, it looks like an attempt was made to promote by adding the various bits of template code by hand, which was not very successful. I'm currently redoing all of the promotions.
The second affects this one and one other so far: in a couple of cases, Futurist110 both approved and promoted a hook. I don't have time to do more than fix the promotions; in this case, with an article that seemed to have hook issues and possibly others, I'd like someone knowledgable to take a look at it and make sure it is okay.

Hi, I'm puzzled by your closing comments here, "hasn't enough in-depth coverage aside from tabloid discussions".
I'm not going to defend the Daily Mail. It's a noxious rag and "tabloid" is a fair description, even though it usually passes the bar for WP. The Telegraph though [1] and even the Express [2] are far from tabloids and certainly should be considered as RS.
I'm most concerned though by the way that this was nominated by an editor who trumpets their connection to Wikipediocracy at the top of their user page and the whole AfD seems to be the result of off-wiki canvassing though Wikipediocracy [3]. That is not a way that WP should ever begin to work!

Hi, Thanks for your edits to Ministry of Forestry (Indonesia). I wanted to explain why I used the original title, both for the article itself, and within the article. Both were based on the Ministry's official website, which gave the official English translation of the name of the Ministry as: The Ministry of Forestry Republic of Indonesia.

I hope, if you're around and there hasn't been a promotion, you can still bring yourself to moving one of the preps to the next queue so it can be moved by the bot. Thanks.

Hi Crisco, I'm not sure if you're about at the moment but if you are, could you have a look at the DYK nomination in Queue 1 please? There is a request for the wording of the hook to be tweaked, which was added to the template after it was promoted. I did the nom review and the amended wording is OK. I posted on the discussion page to try and get an Admin as it's due to move to the main page in a couple of hours. SagaciousPhil - Chat 06:27, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Could you please change the Queue 1 hook from "that the failure of Prince Leopold Clement to marry his girlfriend..." to "that Prince Leopold Clement's failure to marry his girlfriend..."? I wanted to avoid having " Prince Leopold Clement's (pictured)" (since that sounded strange to me), but the image is not included, so we should probably use the more natural wording.

Hey Crisco 1492
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

I'm tempted to give him an unblock, but wanted your take on it, too. He showed up on IRC and seems to me that he wouldn't continue the war, but he was totally unaware of WP:3RR. I checked and I don't see any indication he was warned (except in the comments of the edits, which actually only said "3R" and I don't think he actually knew what that even meant).

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

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.

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:
Sair Tjerita Siti Akbari is an 1884 Malay-language syair (poem) by Lie Kim Hok. Adapted from the Sjair Abdoel Moeloek, it tells of a woman who passes as a man to free her husband from the Sultan of Hindustan, who had captured him in an assault on their kingdom. Written over a period of several years and influenced by European literature, the work differs from earlier syairs in its use of suspense and emphasis on prose rather than form. It also incorporates European realist views to expand upon the genre while maintaining several of the hallmarks of traditional syairs. Critical views have emphasised various aspects of its story, finding in the work an increased empathy for women's thoughts and feelings, a call for a unifying language in the Dutch East Indies, and a polemic regarding the relation between tradition and modernity. A commercial and critical success, Siti Akbari was twice reprinted; in 1940 it was adapted to film. When Sjair Abdoel Moeloek's influence became clear in the 1920s, Lie was criticised as unoriginal. However, Siti Akbari remains one of the better known syairs written by an ethnic Chinese author, and Lie was later styled the "father of Chinese Malay literature". ( Full article...)

The blurb as it stands now is below:
Albertus Soegijapranata (1896–1963) was a Javanese cleric who became the first native Indonesian bishop upon being created as Archbishop of Semarang in 1940. Born to a Muslim family in Surakarta, Dutch East Indies, in 1910 he converted to Catholicism and was ordained in 1931. First serving as a pastor in Yogyakarta, Soegijapranata was consecrated as the vicar apostolic of the newly established Apostolic Vicariate of Semarang in 1940, moving to the city to take the position. During the Japanese occupation, Soegijapranata resisted attempts to seize Church property, including his vicariate's cathedral, and protected the area's Catholics. During the ensuing national revolution (1945–49) he promoted a nationalist cause, moving his seat to Yogyakarta to support the new government and working to promote international recognition of Indonesia's independence. During the post-revolution years he wrote extensively against communism and worked towards a self-determined Indonesian Roman Catholic hierarchy. He was made an archbishop in 1961, dying two years later in the Netherlands. Soegijapranata is now considered a National Hero of Indonesia and in 2011 a biopic on him was released. ( Full article...)

The next very important date is 11 September (on 11 September 1893, Vivekananda gave his first lecture at Chicago). -- Tito☸ Dutta 00:30, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
Since we have just bent over backwards to make sure the recent Swami Vivekananda hooks were given special consideration for DYK on July 4, I was distressed to see this request, with User:Titodutta asking User:Solomon7968 to nominate a DYK for him, which was subsequently done for Template:Did you know nominations/Swami Vivekananda statue (Golpark, Kolkata). Another request (presumably not yet done) is later made for the article Inspired Talks about a Vivekananda book, with a "Sister Christine" article apparently waiting in the wings.
Although the reason given is the number of nominations Tito Dutta already has in process, it nevertheless has the effect of bypassing the QPQ requirement. Indeed, the statue nomination explicitly says that no QPQ is needed because it isn't a self-nomination. At a time when we're struggling for reviews, this is simply unacceptable. I will be placing a note on that nomination saying that a QPQ will be required, and request that Tito make his own nominations going forward, especially as Swami Vivekananda is his bailiwick and the articles his creation. Crisco, if you think I'm out of line in any of this, please let me know, but whatever the motives, I can't see allowing the QPQ avoidance to stand. BlueMoonset ( talk) 02:49, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Crisco, do you think the image is okay to use? I almost made it the lead hook, but then got stuck. (Rosiestep didn't directly address Tito's worries on the photo.) If it's a publicity photo, I'm assuming it was used as such the year it was taken—when Battista was eight—but was that when she was really eight (1920–21), or after she'd been made two years younger in other stories (1922–23) and was said to be eight although she was ten? If the latter, we're potentially over the dividing line into 1923 (her birthday was in the summer), though the picture of her with Coolidge from 1923 (the year he became president after the death of Harding) makes her look significantly older and a bit tall for lap-sitting. Anyway, let me know. We already have an actor in Prep 1, but she could head Prep 2 if the image is eligible. Thanks! BlueMoonset ( talk) 00:06, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

I'm working on a list and plan to nominate it for FLC. Any help or a prose correction will be helpful. this article is is very well position. Take a look.— Prashant 03:24, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for moving - I see the logic of what you have done... keep up the hard work... sats 08:16, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
![]() | On 6 July 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Djoemala, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Djoemala was paired with Roekiah for four films despite the latter already being married? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Djoemala. 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. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

It's a bit outside my core area, but I'm sure I can at least come up with a description. The existing ref covers status, and I'll see what else I can dig up. Might be a couple of days, since it's actually hot and sunny here! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:08, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
If you search for "Cyornis banyumas" on Google Books, one of the links is a full preview of the Birds of East Asia page 442. That gives a description and voice, should get you started (any problem viewing, let me know, I have the book) Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:14, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Re the above AFD, while there wasn't exactly much of it, it was the opinion of the two editors that it ought to be userfied - would you consider it acceptable for me to do so?-- Jac16888 Talk 09:43, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Crisco, I've started an RFC on proposed adjustments to the governance of the featured-article forums. This is relevant to the recent edit-war on the FAC instructions and your page protection this morning. Tony (talk) 11:24, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
I have completed the city for publication sources for Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series/archive1, can you please check if I did them correctly? Thanks in advance. SoapFan12 19:40, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks for all your comments so far. Just one question on your last point: "duplicate links (the tool picks up a couple)". Can you point me in the direction of the tool? It sounds just the sort of thing that would be of use, not just here but elsewhere. Many thanks! - SchroCat ( talk) 19:52, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
I notice that you have closed the deletion request on Nature of America because of no consensus. However another very similar article Celebrate the Century was deleted. That one too was relisted twice to get better results and like this one did not attract any more results. The only reason that article got a little more feedback was due to my "keep" request and reasoning for keep. Whereas in Nature of America I didn't go to argue and that had only one delete request. In fact that article had little more content than Nature of America has. Was that article worth deleting while this one wasn't? The argument for both were the same.-- PremKudva Talk 04:20, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Could you merge the history of Pāpā and Papahānaumoku and delete Pāpā which is an inaccurate form of the goddess' name.-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 05:05, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Yes=support? Just to make sure. Armbrust The Homunculus 14:23, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Crisco, could you please weigh in on whether the image here is copyrightable or not? Once you've done that, I think we can call for a reviewer once again, but I'd like to have the image issue settled first, since the average reviewer probably doesn't know enough to do so. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 17:23, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
Do you know the procedure to nominate an article at DYK for the second time? First time it was quick-failed. On 29 December reviewer told the article does not pass length criteria and within 2 days the discussion was closed. Someone else nominated it on my behalf and I did not watchlist the page. See Template:Did you know nominations/Bibliography of Swami Vivekananda
It was one of the most unfortunate failures. The article had 20,000+ bytes in list at that time, we could easily expand the prose section. Anyway, past is past. What we could do at that time, I am going to do it now. It'll not be a difficult task since I need to expand from 400 bytes to 2000 bytes (though I'll attempt to write a fine and engaging lead).
Nut, do you know the procedure to nominate an article for the second time? Should I start the nomination below the previous nomination or at Template:Did you know nominations/Bibliography of Swami Vivekananda 2? -- Tito☸ Dutta 17:48, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
