Can you offer any more specific feedback as to your objections to the quality of the prose? I would like to see the article promoted and need something more specific than "not brilliant enough" and the like to figure out what I need to do. Thanks. Otto4711 ( talk) 00:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Simmaren and I were just praising your wonderful contributions to the reception history of Jane Austen today. Thank you so much for adding what will undoubtedly be the most-read section of the article! You are our Mr Darcy (is that too weird?). Awadewit ( talk) 03:48, 25 August 2008 (UTC) |
Hello. Thanks a lot for your precious advices. I will definitely go through each of your items/paragraphs to get the article on Bobby into a shape to meet the requirements of at least a GA-rating.
I briefly browsed your profile on your talk page and found that one branch of your anchestors are Germans. I am German too, and that's why my prose is a bit different than your are certainly familiar with. Although written with the editing (proofreading) help from a befriended writer from Minnesota (the one who wrote the biographic essay on my Tribute website for Bobby), the basis of this article is mine. But (unfornutaly) my old friend is more a poet than a jounalist and thus, tending to write rather narrative and admiring than factual. That's why you still can find so many "finally"s and other "peackocks" within the text. I was in a real difficult situation, getting the current version through against his enthusiastic but often disturbing meddling. He's a fan of Bobby since his own early teens and even tried to meet him personally in the mid-1950s. So I can't really accuse him for his different oppinions and attitudes, concerning particular text passages, formed in more than half a century. Howsoever, he was and still is a great help and assistance in my research for Bobby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bylot ( talk • contribs) 20:10, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I think that was a case of bad timing :) I've added some further comments to the review page, but concur with your quick fail, so I will remove the article from the nomination page. Dana boomer ( talk) 19:41, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks heaps for recording the podcast last week on a wide range of copy editing / content issues. Awadewit dropped a note on my talk page letting me know that it was 'good to go' - and as I said at WP:AN, I feel smarter already, and I've only heard it once! It's now online at 'NotTheWikipediaWeekly', and hopefully it's only the first in a series!

Hello Maria,
I currently have to delve into the requirements, some Wikipedians came up with, concerning the "boilerplate Fair Use Rationale template for historic images" I used for the images (except the head-shot in the info-box) I've uploaded for my article on Bobby Driscoll and which is now subject of a general discussion. The wording and general tone of the discussion imputes users to use it i.a. by dishonest motives. ...it seems to be very badly misused." - "We don't need uploaders to bureaucratically check off a list of formal requirements ...", "In fact, checking on a handful of image pages where it has been used, I cannot find a single one where it has been used correctly. None of these images even remotely matches what the template claims." etc. But all images I've embedded had been reviewed by another Wikipedian and considered worth to keep uploaded, due to their obvious film historic significance. I had similar problem with my German version of Bobby's article, - why it has to go completely without any image now. Depending on what the(ir) decision wll be (to consider the images for deletion or not) I will continue with trying to improve the article (to a GA-rating), as announced, or leave it at a good B-article. I am a writer and researcher and not a programmer or technican and in this respect was gald to have found the mentioned template - or what are templates actually for if not to be used in the appropriate way. It's ridiculous, how some hardliners behave in this concern but that seems to be one of the natures of a bureaucratic system such as the Wikipedia has meanwhile developed to. All images I've uploaded are commercially negligible, reduced to a low resolution and only illustrating the appropriate text passeges. But in the Wikipedia anything has to be perpetually free for unlimited distribution, modification and application by all users in all media. But that's a bit naive, isn't it? - in a world of pure commerce, in which the least use of whatever stuff without a specific permission (even if not longer possible to successfully track down and/or to obtain) is immediately considered an infringemet. One of the three items in the questionaire is: Why you believe it is indispensible for understanding the article and why it cannot be covered by text alone instead. Coincidence or aim? - since according to that practically any additional material within an article can be considered dispensible. My intention was, in addition to my Tribute website, to create another reliable and up-to-date online source on Bobby (but no detailed biography which can unabridged be used for commercial purpose - I'm no literary masochist), illustrated by some vinatge photographs, which, as said, are commercially irrelevant (msot of them I bought from eBay and similar online-sellers), knowing that anything displayed and submitted here is definitely free for any use. But that surely is asking too much. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I understand it this way. So I'll wait and see - and decide then how to proceed.
Thanks a lot for your precious assistance and advices. Best wishes-- Bylot ( talk) 18:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Mess, is way too strong. It's not as I left it but some of you have been doing stirling work! I will look in the WPFilm thing, but knowing a bit about how people seems to treat WP:Novels I so far can't see anything like the desired effect being reached. However 10 out of 10 for trying everyone! As for me I will do what I can, but it just can't be how it was, things change! Don't the just!

WikiProject Novels is currently holding a roll call, which we hope to have annually. Your username is listed on the members list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active within the project. If you still consider yourself an active WP:Novels editor, please add your name back to the Active Members list. Also feel free to join any of our task forces and take a look at the project's Job Centre to get involved!
Next month we will begin the coordinator election selection process. We hope to have more involvement and input this time around! More news will be forthcoming. Thanks, everyone! María ( habla con migo) 14:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Maria i been looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/JobCentre and notice a editor has added his name to 4 vacancies, 3 of which are Coordinator for various task forces. I just wonder if this is the correct way of actually getting a editor to head and manage a task force ? I did remove 2 names, one had not contributed for 3 months and another had only ever done one post on Wikipedia and that was to take a vacancy as a task force Coordinator, so removed those names. Maybe these positions should be taken by someone who is elected by that task force rather than just having anyone add their name ? It does have on the page :
Maybe this needs looking into reviewing at some stage as to me these are important jobs for each task force and do have some responsibilty to do them. Boylo ( talk) 05:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

What exactly are the disadvantages of date linking meant to be? Also, what is wrong with linking years? Are years and dates never to be linked? john k ( talk) 16:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Beyond that, I see two statements in the same MOS article, one of which you say is "policy" and the other not even a guideline. Can you provide some support for this contention? The part that appears to be merely an essay is, in fact, the part about why we should not ever link dates. Reading that article, all the disadvantages appear to arise out of the autoformatting, which I don't even care about - I just think it's useful to link dates, especially the years, which are useful in providing context. But whatever. john k ( talk) 16:58, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
I suppose. I think I'm mostly just being a curmudgeon about this. "Something has changed? Without anyone informing me? I want to do things the way I always have!" I'm still not sure I understand why we're not supposed to link years. The articles on individual days are certainly mostly trivial and unconnected, but the articles on years can provide useful context. I certainly don't generally support overlinking, but I don't see why years would be an example of that. Also, one of the reasons overlinking is bad is not only because it usually involves links to useless articles, but because it does so in an unpredictable manner. Whereas links on years are very predictable, and thus don't suffer from all of the same problems (and also, I think, are rarely useless). But I doubt this is the place for that argument. john k ( talk) 18:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
I think the general problem with overlinking is when words are linked for no apparent reason, with links attaching to random words rather than to terms that are significant in the article. You see this in a lot of poor articles. john k ( talk) 18:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
If we want task force coordinators, I'll volunteer for the Shannara project's slot... I don't know if I want to wait until Nov. and then run to be a coordinator on the entire project...which is why I said that. Cheers, -talk- the_ed17 -contribs- 07:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
I shall be releasing the next newsletter sometime within the first week of October, which is the same plan i shall do each month. The closing date for submissions will be the last day of each month. For the October newsletter i will be starting a new section called 'In Focus' which will be where your submission shall be placed, which will replace 'Novel-related news' which is really just a filler of various non related news items. I been thinking on what would be best as a submission. For yourself it would be good if you spoke on what work you do as a Co-ordinator (i know you do other positions also but please just speak on this role as Co-ordinator as later newsletter issues will have members speak on the other positions) and the role you play in the Novels Project and also why we need more Co-ordinator's to assist (this will help give those wishing to sit for the elections an idea of what the job entails and why they are needed). The idea being that each month i will have a different member 'In Focus' who speaks on his work and explains what is involved in that job or task force. This way information on each job and task force will be read and can be helpful in encouraging others to take on a job role and know what it entails, plus gives information on the various task forces, to encourage more members to join. I plan to add the inactive members to the newsletter subscription in the hope that they may return at some stage to the Project (they can always unsubscribe if they wish).

Hi Yllosubmarine, listen, if you have time, do you think you can copy-edit Aaron Eckhart's article? The reason I ask, I am trying to aim the article to FA status. I would appreciate it if you can, if not, its still cool. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:02, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Here you go, I move the discussion here.
On an unrelated note I was glad to see you won the battle with conservatives who were trying to devote an entire section of Doris Lessing's page to her 9/11 statements, put in out of context and made to portray her and the [Nobel Prize]] in a critical light. Looking forward to this year's noble prize winner. It should be announced within the coming weeks. So exciting to think that its almost here again. I hope it will be an American author. We haven't won one in a long time, since 1990 and for some ridiculous reason that was given to Toni Morrison, who was a one-trick pony and not even that major a literary figure in the US. I have a bet going that its going to be Thomas Pynchon this year.-- Robert Waalk ( talk) 20:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I notice that your User:Yllosubmarine/monobook.js keeps appearing in the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Unassessed novel articles category. I believe that is because you make a strightforward reference to the assessment code javascript that used to be available from Outriggr. I have my own version which I have been developing (particularly for NovelsWikiProject) and also quote differently in my User:Kevinalewis/monobook.js. If you would like to make use of it then do. As I say it is still under development so there are a few little "buglets". If you feel your way open to use it I would appreciate some second opinions, advice on features, comment etc. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 08:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

The article you voted on, Novel, has been selected as collaboration of the month. Please lend your services to improving this article, and see our thread on the WikiProject Novel general forum, we've been bouncing around ideas on what to do and how to organize our additions which will be mainly focused on the 20th century novel where their is currently no section. I was thinking we could do a quick intro cover, then split it into several sub-sections on major developments in the novel. The ones currently on my mind were fantasy, stream of conciousness, minalamism, modernism, and post-modernism, as those were some of the major developments of the last century. Perhaps also discussion of crime noir, and the development of the murder mystery as a tenet of pulp and popular fiction. I even think we should have a section on Science fiction for the major figures and developments. That leaves us with a very wide, and broard encompassing project that I think could draw in a large number of people with different interests who would be apply themselves to this project, thus adding to the quality of the work that would get done. The 20th century section should be the longest section of the article, since more happened and changed in the 20th century than in all the previous four centuries, (going back to Don Quixote), combined.-- Robert Waalk ( talk) 23:11, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Can you offer any more specific feedback as to your objections to the quality of the prose? I would like to see the article promoted and need something more specific than "not brilliant enough" and the like to figure out what I need to do. Thanks. Otto4711 ( talk) 00:46, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Simmaren and I were just praising your wonderful contributions to the reception history of Jane Austen today. Thank you so much for adding what will undoubtedly be the most-read section of the article! You are our Mr Darcy (is that too weird?). Awadewit ( talk) 03:48, 25 August 2008 (UTC) |
Hello. Thanks a lot for your precious advices. I will definitely go through each of your items/paragraphs to get the article on Bobby into a shape to meet the requirements of at least a GA-rating.
I briefly browsed your profile on your talk page and found that one branch of your anchestors are Germans. I am German too, and that's why my prose is a bit different than your are certainly familiar with. Although written with the editing (proofreading) help from a befriended writer from Minnesota (the one who wrote the biographic essay on my Tribute website for Bobby), the basis of this article is mine. But (unfornutaly) my old friend is more a poet than a jounalist and thus, tending to write rather narrative and admiring than factual. That's why you still can find so many "finally"s and other "peackocks" within the text. I was in a real difficult situation, getting the current version through against his enthusiastic but often disturbing meddling. He's a fan of Bobby since his own early teens and even tried to meet him personally in the mid-1950s. So I can't really accuse him for his different oppinions and attitudes, concerning particular text passages, formed in more than half a century. Howsoever, he was and still is a great help and assistance in my research for Bobby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bylot ( talk • contribs) 20:10, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I think that was a case of bad timing :) I've added some further comments to the review page, but concur with your quick fail, so I will remove the article from the nomination page. Dana boomer ( talk) 19:41, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks heaps for recording the podcast last week on a wide range of copy editing / content issues. Awadewit dropped a note on my talk page letting me know that it was 'good to go' - and as I said at WP:AN, I feel smarter already, and I've only heard it once! It's now online at 'NotTheWikipediaWeekly', and hopefully it's only the first in a series!

Hello Maria,
I currently have to delve into the requirements, some Wikipedians came up with, concerning the "boilerplate Fair Use Rationale template for historic images" I used for the images (except the head-shot in the info-box) I've uploaded for my article on Bobby Driscoll and which is now subject of a general discussion. The wording and general tone of the discussion imputes users to use it i.a. by dishonest motives. ...it seems to be very badly misused." - "We don't need uploaders to bureaucratically check off a list of formal requirements ...", "In fact, checking on a handful of image pages where it has been used, I cannot find a single one where it has been used correctly. None of these images even remotely matches what the template claims." etc. But all images I've embedded had been reviewed by another Wikipedian and considered worth to keep uploaded, due to their obvious film historic significance. I had similar problem with my German version of Bobby's article, - why it has to go completely without any image now. Depending on what the(ir) decision wll be (to consider the images for deletion or not) I will continue with trying to improve the article (to a GA-rating), as announced, or leave it at a good B-article. I am a writer and researcher and not a programmer or technican and in this respect was gald to have found the mentioned template - or what are templates actually for if not to be used in the appropriate way. It's ridiculous, how some hardliners behave in this concern but that seems to be one of the natures of a bureaucratic system such as the Wikipedia has meanwhile developed to. All images I've uploaded are commercially negligible, reduced to a low resolution and only illustrating the appropriate text passeges. But in the Wikipedia anything has to be perpetually free for unlimited distribution, modification and application by all users in all media. But that's a bit naive, isn't it? - in a world of pure commerce, in which the least use of whatever stuff without a specific permission (even if not longer possible to successfully track down and/or to obtain) is immediately considered an infringemet. One of the three items in the questionaire is: Why you believe it is indispensible for understanding the article and why it cannot be covered by text alone instead. Coincidence or aim? - since according to that practically any additional material within an article can be considered dispensible. My intention was, in addition to my Tribute website, to create another reliable and up-to-date online source on Bobby (but no detailed biography which can unabridged be used for commercial purpose - I'm no literary masochist), illustrated by some vinatge photographs, which, as said, are commercially irrelevant (msot of them I bought from eBay and similar online-sellers), knowing that anything displayed and submitted here is definitely free for any use. But that surely is asking too much. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I understand it this way. So I'll wait and see - and decide then how to proceed.
Thanks a lot for your precious assistance and advices. Best wishes-- Bylot ( talk) 18:33, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Mess, is way too strong. It's not as I left it but some of you have been doing stirling work!

WikiProject Novels is currently holding a roll call, which we hope to have annually. Your username is listed on the members list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active within the project. If you still consider yourself an active WP:Novels editor, please add your name back to the Active Members list. Also feel free to join any of our task forces and take a look at the project's Job Centre to get involved!
Next month we will begin the coordinator election selection process. We hope to have more involvement and input this time around! More news will be forthcoming. Thanks, everyone! María ( habla con migo) 14:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Maria i been looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/JobCentre and notice a editor has added his name to 4 vacancies, 3 of which are Coordinator for various task forces. I just wonder if this is the correct way of actually getting a editor to head and manage a task force ? I did remove 2 names, one had not contributed for 3 months and another had only ever done one post on Wikipedia and that was to take a vacancy as a task force Coordinator, so removed those names. Maybe these positions should be taken by someone who is elected by that task force rather than just having anyone add their name ? It does have on the page :
Maybe this needs looking into reviewing at some stage as to me these are important jobs for each task force and do have some responsibilty to do them. Boylo ( talk) 05:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

What exactly are the disadvantages of date linking meant to be? Also, what is wrong with linking years? Are years and dates never to be linked? john k ( talk) 16:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
Beyond that, I see two statements in the same MOS article, one of which you say is "policy" and the other not even a guideline. Can you provide some support for this contention? The part that appears to be merely an essay is, in fact, the part about why we should not ever link dates. Reading that article, all the disadvantages appear to arise out of the autoformatting, which I don't even care about - I just think it's useful to link dates, especially the years, which are useful in providing context. But whatever. john k ( talk) 16:58, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
I suppose. I think I'm mostly just being a curmudgeon about this. "Something has changed? Without anyone informing me? I want to do things the way I always have!" I'm still not sure I understand why we're not supposed to link years. The articles on individual days are certainly mostly trivial and unconnected, but the articles on years can provide useful context. I certainly don't generally support overlinking, but I don't see why years would be an example of that. Also, one of the reasons overlinking is bad is not only because it usually involves links to useless articles, but because it does so in an unpredictable manner. Whereas links on years are very predictable, and thus don't suffer from all of the same problems (and also, I think, are rarely useless). But I doubt this is the place for that argument. john k ( talk) 18:29, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
I think the general problem with overlinking is when words are linked for no apparent reason, with links attaching to random words rather than to terms that are significant in the article. You see this in a lot of poor articles. john k ( talk) 18:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I shall be releasing the next newsletter sometime within the first week of October, which is the same plan i shall do each month. The closing date for submissions will be the last day of each month. For the October newsletter i will be starting a new section called 'In Focus' which will be where your submission shall be placed, which will replace 'Novel-related news' which is really just a filler of various non related news items. I been thinking on what would be best as a submission. For yourself it would be good if you spoke on what work you do as a Co-ordinator (i know you do other positions also but please just speak on this role as Co-ordinator as later newsletter issues will have members speak on the other positions) and the role you play in the Novels Project and also why we need more Co-ordinator's to assist (this will help give those wishing to sit for the elections an idea of what the job entails and why they are needed). The idea being that each month i will have a different member 'In Focus' who speaks on his work and explains what is involved in that job or task force. This way information on each job and task force will be read and can be helpful in encouraging others to take on a job role and know what it entails, plus gives information on the various task forces, to encourage more members to join. I plan to add the inactive members to the newsletter subscription in the hope that they may return at some stage to the Project (they can always unsubscribe if they wish).

Here you go, I move the discussion here.
On an unrelated note I was glad to see you won the battle with conservatives who were trying to devote an entire section of Doris Lessing's page to her 9/11 statements, put in out of context and made to portray her and the [Nobel Prize]] in a critical light. Looking forward to this year's noble prize winner. It should be announced within the coming weeks. So exciting to think that its almost here again. I hope it will be an American author. We haven't won one in a long time, since 1990 and for some ridiculous reason that was given to Toni Morrison, who was a one-trick pony and not even that major a literary figure in the US. I have a bet going that its going to be Thomas Pynchon this year.-- Robert Waalk ( talk) 20:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I notice that your User:Yllosubmarine/monobook.js keeps appearing in the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Unassessed novel articles category. I believe that is because you make a strightforward reference to the assessment code javascript that used to be available from Outriggr. I have my own version which I have been developing (particularly for NovelsWikiProject) and also quote differently in my User:Kevinalewis/monobook.js. If you would like to make use of it then do.

The article you voted on, Novel, has been selected as collaboration of the month. Please lend your services to improving this article, and see our thread on the WikiProject Novel general forum, we've been bouncing around ideas on what to do and how to organize our additions which will be mainly focused on the 20th century novel where their is currently no section. I was thinking we could do a quick intro cover, then split it into several sub-sections on major developments in the novel. The ones currently on my mind were fantasy, stream of conciousness, minalamism, modernism, and post-modernism, as those were some of the major developments of the last century. Perhaps also discussion of crime noir, and the development of the murder mystery as a tenet of pulp and popular fiction. I even think we should have a section on Science fiction for the major figures and developments. That leaves us with a very wide, and broard encompassing project that I think could draw in a large number of people with different interests who would be apply themselves to this project, thus adding to the quality of the work that would get done. The 20th century section should be the longest section of the article, since more happened and changed in the 20th century than in all the previous four centuries, (going back to Don Quixote), combined.-- Robert Waalk ( talk) 23:11, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
