On 2 December 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kebyar duduk, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in the Balinese dance kebyar duduk, androgynously made-up men spin in circles while seated or half-seated? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kebyar duduk. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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. |

Hello Crisco, hope I am not bothering too much with my noob questions, but could you give me 1-2 quick tips about image reduction please? What (free) software would you recommend? (I currently have Gimp 2, IrfanView, Inkscape and the default MS Paint to offer). Are there any special settings to consider? I recently used IrfanView with standard settings, but that probably didn't lead to ideal results (see previous version of File:The-best-exotic-marigold-hotel.jpg). Thanks for any advice.

This new article has now a rather big file, but rather dark, that I found ... actually wanted to m´nominate that picture - but I am not to happy with it.

Wonder if this pic might be good enough? Maybe not - 671 x 816.

Hi Crisco. I was trying not to bother you while your Wiki-break tag was up, indicating you were busy in real-life. I was wondering if you had a minute to look at a couple things. Specifically, this NPOV tag added to a GA-ranked page I improved, due to concerns posted on Talk here about its work rebuilding Iraq and the Publishers Clearing House article, where I got a 3PO opinion here. The 3PO indicated the page was not encyclopedic and had excessive detail about controversial events. There was no clear consensus on how to structure the article.

I have just nominated this at FAC. No hurry, but if you could see your way to doing an image review, I'd be much obliged. There are very few images, incidentally. Brianboulton ( talk) 22:43, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
I see that an editor reinserted a comma in a file name for one of the images in the gallery in this article, at Thomas Gainsborough#Gallery after User:Rothorpe had removed it. I suppose the editor is right since one mustn't change what's in the name of an image file. However, Rothorpe is right that there should not be two commas there either side of the measurements in parentheses. I'm wondering, since you're so familiar with images and image files, whether you could correct the file name by removing at least one of those two commas. Since it doesn't show up in the caption, it's not a big deal, but for editors like myself and Rothorpe, incorrect punctuation grates on the nerves. CorinneSD ( talk) 22:33, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Start wtih Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, a 1948 Universal release (all material under copyright via renewals). Throw in Realart Pictures Inc., a company who leased the entire Universal "B" pictures catalog for 10 years, starting in 1946. Realart issued their own lobby cards and posters-most are without copyright marks as opposed to the Universal ones. Realart re-released these films under their own name with no mention of their Universal origin.
Realart issued this insert poster for their 1956 re-release of the film. It has a 1956 copyright mark for Realart Pictures. Checking copyright.gov shows nothing that relates to the motion picture company or any renewals of their material. Can we use the poster as a freebie replacement for the copyrighted Universal one?
I've been replacing some with Realart posters because they weren't copyright marked. The Invisible Ray (1936 film) and Follow the Boys are two I've found so far. My thought is that there should be no problem with the Realart non-renewal as this company had leased these films from Universal and these promotions were created and published during the term of that lease. There are also stills from these films marked as Realart; as mentioned above, Realart renewed nothing from 1978 on (haven't had the need to check catalogs as yet).

Hello Crisco 1492! I saw by chance that the beautiful picture of Anthocharis cardamines is scheduled for the first of January as POTD. It made me remeber that while I was suggesting the Freedom Monument in Riga for Featured picture, you commented that you'd be willing to schedule it for the same date, as Latvia on that day assumes the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. If you changed your mind and don't want to schedule it then, I'm very happy with the butterfly as well, but I thought I might give you a heads up because perhaps you forgot it? Anyway, have a nice weekend! Best, Yakikaki ( talk) 14:16, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

For many months, the reference to the "porn" interpretation of the painting read: "She is leaning slightly forward in an ambiguous posture, which has been read variously as an attempt to protect the model's modesty, huddle against the cold, sponge bathe, or as a fetishization of innocence." Dank removed "fetishization of innocence" with this edit summary: "Removing "fetishization of innocence", because it was presented as a fourth option, but it actually doesn't rule out any of the other options. Is there another way to present it?" It was indeed poorly phrased, so I did indeed present it another way.
I'm sure Dank edited in good faith, but in the circumstances, it's they who should have discussed at FAC first. Until then, either the version prior to their edit, or my reworked version, should stand.
I'm therefore asking you to self-revert.
(Also, since the whole controversy over the painting is whether or not it's pornographic, it's by no means giving undue weight to say so in the lead).

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muhammed al-Darbi, which included Muhammad Assad, Salah 'Ali Qaru and Muhammed al-Darbi.
The United States Senate Intelligence Committee published a 600 page unclassified summary of its 6,700 page secret repot. The summary named all three of these men as individuals whose torture had not been authorized, even by John Woo's famous memos. The summary named these three men as individuals who had been "wrongfully detained". Press reports have picked up on this.
Um, you didn't actually offer any explanation of your closure.
Now that new sources have emerged your decision not to explain your closure doesn't really offer any help to anyone considering deciding whether adding new references would justify restoration.
So, I'd appreciate you reviewing your closure, and offering the reasoning behind it. Geo Swan ( talk) 06:23, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you are a delegate for Featured lists so I'm wondering if you could help with a quick question. We tried to submit List of municipalities in Yukon for candidacy but it was opposed on the grounds of not having enough items to list (there are 8 municipalities in Yukon). I'm seeking clarification on the minimum number of items that a list can have to be considered featured. I think the article is otherwise quite well done, complete (there are no more municipalities to list) and ready for featured status. Thanks! Mattximus ( talk) 21:51, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey Chris and all there,
I'm going for a break from 22nd and will be back only after 28th and then will on go for another long one till the next summer (June or July) as I have my holidays of festive season followed by the preparation for my Graduate entrance exams and interviews. Those exams are too tough in India (as elsewhere). So, I won't be available for POTD protection template creation. Plus, I have reviewed many a AfCs and will have some of them over my talk page about the concerned. I'll try my best to reply them, or else, please add it to your watchlist and reply (if possible). Thank a lot and may you and all out there have a happy future year!! --

Crisco, I hope you're having a great holiday season, and that the New Year will be just as great.
I was wondering whether you could take a look at this nomination. It's a reasonable size now, and the Jennifer Rush section isn't as weak as it had been, but the broken leg (the injury occurred after she finished singing the song on stage) seems to lead into a bit of a disquisition for me. (I'd expect more about the song itself: construction, key, that sort of thing, rather than the injury's affect on the subsequent album.) Even so, do you think it's ready for DYK? I'm having a hard time judging. Thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:44, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Crisco 1492. I could use your help. I recently brought the Gary Cooper article to GA status, and I'm preparing to do a Peer Review prior to FA submission. The Early life section currently has no images, and I recently uploaded two that I wanted to use. I want to make sure these images, from 1903 and 1922, are not copyright protected. The Gary Cooper 1903 image appears in a 1970 book without a copyright statement. I do not know the author or the first date of publication. The Gary Cooper Grinnell College 1922 image is from a college yearbook published in 1922. This appears to be in PD. Could you check both images and let me know if they can be used. If not, please delete them. Regards, Bede735 ( talk) 01:53, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Just found out my YouTube account has been blocked unless I "acknowledge" what a bad boy I've been for uploading The Sinking of the Lusitania there—apparently Milestone Films have claimed copyright for this film that was already in the public domain for decades before the company was even founded. They demanded it be taken down, and the only way I can fight is to provide YouTube with my name, physical address, etc, if I don't want to click "I acknowledge". Whatever. Screw YouTube—they're not the only game in town. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 09:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Crisco, I'm relieved to hear it. I have no issue with nudity as such, I have no issue with the article being in the encyclopedia, but I would have an issue with this nude featuring on the main page.

Hey Crisco. I wanted to ask if you might be interested in mentoring one or more editors during our pilot of the mentorship space called
the Co-op. We plan to run the pilot in late January for about one month. The idea is that mentors will be doing one-on-one teaching based on how an editor wants to contribute, and it's not some huge commitment to teach comprehensively about Wikipedia. We also want to make to easier for new editors to find mentors as well. Your experience in the DYK process, featured content, and dealing with deleted materials will definitely be useful for newer editors. If you're interested, please
sign up here and feel free to peruse, make suggestions, or ask questions about
how the Co-op will work. Thanks a bunch (and Happy New Year! P.S. I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this for real, or not?
For me, it feels as real as a theater stage)

Crisco, I was hoping you could weigh in on this one. It's a hook with about three dozen articles, and there is material common to all of them. The questions include whether the creator can decide to assign the common material's origin to a particular article or whether it has to be the first posted chronologically, and whether supplemental rule A5 comes into play here.

Hi Crisco 1492, wanted to ping you with a minor concern re January POTD's. I rarely contribute in this area and may be off-page with the community standards for POTD's. My concern is that we have two main page images within days of each other this month that prominently feature commercial products ( File:Diet Coke Mentos.jpg and File:PS2-Versions.jpg). I have no concern for the quality of the images, just that this schedule is making the main page appear a bit commercial. My suggestion is to update the schedule, perhaps swapping the PS2 file with File:2012-bb-jackal-1.jpg later in the month.

Crisco, are you online? The Featured Picture for today never got created and I haven't the slightest idea how to do it. Yngvadottir ( talk) 06:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
I have completed scheduling for January. You may not need it, but I followed Bencherlite's step-by-step guide, which I have stored here. I have kept all the records up do date:
In making my choices I was broadly guided by the category proportions indicated on User:Brianboulton/TFA notepad. The relative dearth of TFAR noms for January made it easier for me to stick close to these proportions, but of course added consiferably to the time I had to spend searching for appropriate noms.
Can I ask that you try to complete February's scheduling by about 10th or 11th of the month, so that I can give proper notice to the early March nominations? Also, please note that I shall be away for 10–11 days from Thursday next.
I hope everything goes well. Dank's work with the blurb writing has been enormously helpful. Brianboulton ( talk) 22:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kebyar duduk. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello Crisco, hope I am not bothering too much with my noob questions, but could you give me 1-2 quick tips about image reduction please? What (free) software would you recommend? (I currently have Gimp 2, IrfanView, Inkscape and the default MS Paint to offer). Are there any special settings to consider? I recently used IrfanView with standard settings, but that probably didn't lead to ideal results (see previous version of File:The-best-exotic-marigold-hotel.jpg). Thanks for any advice.

Hi Crisco. I was trying not to bother you while your Wiki-break tag was up, indicating you were busy in real-life. I was wondering if you had a minute to look at a couple things. Specifically, this NPOV tag added to a GA-ranked page I improved, due to concerns posted on Talk here about its work rebuilding Iraq and the Publishers Clearing House article, where I got a 3PO opinion here. The 3PO indicated the page was not encyclopedic and had excessive detail about controversial events. There was no clear consensus on how to structure the article.

I have just nominated this at FAC. No hurry, but if you could see your way to doing an image review, I'd be much obliged. There are very few images, incidentally. Brianboulton ( talk) 22:43, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
I see that an editor reinserted a comma in a file name for one of the images in the gallery in this article, at Thomas Gainsborough#Gallery after User:Rothorpe had removed it. I suppose the editor is right since one mustn't change what's in the name of an image file. However, Rothorpe is right that there should not be two commas there either side of the measurements in parentheses. I'm wondering, since you're so familiar with images and image files, whether you could correct the file name by removing at least one of those two commas. Since it doesn't show up in the caption, it's not a big deal, but for editors like myself and Rothorpe, incorrect punctuation grates on the nerves. CorinneSD ( talk) 22:33, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Start wtih Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, a 1948 Universal release (all material under copyright via renewals). Throw in Realart Pictures Inc., a company who leased the entire Universal "B" pictures catalog for 10 years, starting in 1946. Realart issued their own lobby cards and posters-most are without copyright marks as opposed to the Universal ones. Realart re-released these films under their own name with no mention of their Universal origin.
Realart issued this insert poster for their 1956 re-release of the film. It has a 1956 copyright mark for Realart Pictures. Checking copyright.gov shows nothing that relates to the motion picture company or any renewals of their material. Can we use the poster as a freebie replacement for the copyrighted Universal one?
I've been replacing some with Realart posters because they weren't copyright marked. The Invisible Ray (1936 film) and Follow the Boys are two I've found so far. My thought is that there should be no problem with the Realart non-renewal as this company had leased these films from Universal and these promotions were created and published during the term of that lease. There are also stills from these films marked as Realart; as mentioned above, Realart renewed nothing from 1978 on (haven't had the need to check catalogs as yet).

Hello Crisco 1492! I saw by chance that the beautiful picture of Anthocharis cardamines is scheduled for the first of January as POTD. It made me remeber that while I was suggesting the Freedom Monument in Riga for Featured picture, you commented that you'd be willing to schedule it for the same date, as Latvia on that day assumes the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. If you changed your mind and don't want to schedule it then, I'm very happy with the butterfly as well, but I thought I might give you a heads up because perhaps you forgot it?

For many months, the reference to the "porn" interpretation of the painting read: "She is leaning slightly forward in an ambiguous posture, which has been read variously as an attempt to protect the model's modesty, huddle against the cold, sponge bathe, or as a fetishization of innocence." Dank removed "fetishization of innocence" with this edit summary: "Removing "fetishization of innocence", because it was presented as a fourth option, but it actually doesn't rule out any of the other options. Is there another way to present it?" It was indeed poorly phrased, so I did indeed present it another way.
I'm sure Dank edited in good faith, but in the circumstances, it's they who should have discussed at FAC first. Until then, either the version prior to their edit, or my reworked version, should stand.
I'm therefore asking you to self-revert.
(Also, since the whole controversy over the painting is whether or not it's pornographic, it's by no means giving undue weight to say so in the lead).

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Muhammed al-Darbi, which included Muhammad Assad, Salah 'Ali Qaru and Muhammed al-Darbi.
The United States Senate Intelligence Committee published a 600 page unclassified summary of its 6,700 page secret repot. The summary named all three of these men as individuals whose torture had not been authorized, even by John Woo's famous memos. The summary named these three men as individuals who had been "wrongfully detained". Press reports have picked up on this.
Um, you didn't actually offer any explanation of your closure.
Now that new sources have emerged your decision not to explain your closure doesn't really offer any help to anyone considering deciding whether adding new references would justify restoration.

I think the article is otherwise quite well done, complete (there are no more municipalities to list) and ready for featured status. Thanks! Mattximus ( talk) 21:51, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey Chris and all there,
I'm going for a break from 22nd and will be back only after 28th and then will on go for another long one till the next summer (June or July) as I have my holidays of festive season followed by the preparation for my Graduate entrance exams and interviews. Those exams are too tough in India (as elsewhere). So, I won't be available for POTD protection template creation. Plus, I have reviewed many a AfCs and will have some of them over my talk page about the concerned. I'll try my best to reply them, or else, please add it to your watchlist and reply (if possible). Thank a lot and may you and all out there have a happy future year!! --

Crisco, I hope you're having a great holiday season, and that the New Year will be just as great.
I was wondering whether you could take a look at this nomination. It's a reasonable size now, and the Jennifer Rush section isn't as weak as it had been, but the broken leg (the injury occurred after she finished singing the song on stage) seems to lead into a bit of a disquisition for me. (I'd expect more about the song itself: construction, key, that sort of thing, rather than the injury's affect on the subsequent album.) Even so, do you think it's ready for DYK? I'm having a hard time judging. Thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 18:44, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Crisco 1492. I could use your help. I recently brought the Gary Cooper article to GA status, and I'm preparing to do a Peer Review prior to FA submission. The Early life section currently has no images, and I recently uploaded two that I wanted to use. I want to make sure these images, from 1903 and 1922, are not copyright protected. The Gary Cooper 1903 image appears in a 1970 book without a copyright statement. I do not know the author or the first date of publication. The Gary Cooper Grinnell College 1922 image is from a college yearbook published in 1922. This appears to be in PD. Could you check both images and let me know if they can be used. If not, please delete them. Regards, Bede735 ( talk) 01:53, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Just found out my YouTube account has been blocked unless I "acknowledge" what a bad boy I've been for uploading The Sinking of the Lusitania there—apparently Milestone Films have claimed copyright for this film that was already in the public domain for decades before the company was even founded. They demanded it be taken down, and the only way I can fight is to provide YouTube with my name, physical address, etc, if I don't want to click "I acknowledge". Whatever. Screw YouTube—they're not the only game in town. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 09:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey Crisco. I wanted to ask if you might be interested in mentoring one or more editors during our pilot of the mentorship space called
the Co-op. We plan to run the pilot in late January for about one month. The idea is that mentors will be doing one-on-one teaching based on how an editor wants to contribute, and it's not some huge commitment to teach comprehensively about Wikipedia. We also want to make to easier for new editors to find mentors as well. Your experience in the DYK process, featured content, and dealing with deleted materials will definitely be useful for newer editors. If you're interested, please
sign up here and feel free to peruse, make suggestions, or ask questions about
how the Co-op will work. Thanks a bunch (and Happy New Year! P.S. I've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this for real, or not?
For me, it feels as real as a theater stage)

Crisco, I was hoping you could weigh in on this one. It's a hook with about three dozen articles, and there is material common to all of them. The questions include whether the creator can decide to assign the common material's origin to a particular article or whether it has to be the first posted chronologically, and whether supplemental rule A5 comes into play here.

Hi Crisco 1492, wanted to ping you with a minor concern re January POTD's. I rarely contribute in this area and may be off-page with the community standards for POTD's. My concern is that we have two main page images within days of each other this month that prominently feature commercial products ( File:Diet Coke Mentos.jpg and File:PS2-Versions.jpg). I have no concern for the quality of the images, just that this schedule is making the main page appear a bit commercial. My suggestion is to update the schedule, perhaps swapping the PS2 file with File:2012-bb-jackal-1.jpg later in the month.

Crisco, are you online? The Featured Picture for today never got created and I haven't the slightest idea how to do it. Yngvadottir ( talk) 06:13, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
I have completed scheduling for January. You may not need it, but I followed Bencherlite's step-by-step guide, which I have stored here. I have kept all the records up do date:
In making my choices I was broadly guided by the category proportions indicated on User:Brianboulton/TFA notepad. The relative dearth of TFAR noms for January made it easier for me to stick close to these proportions, but of course added consiferably to the time I had to spend searching for appropriate noms.
Can I ask that you try to complete February's scheduling by about 10th or 11th of the month, so that I can give proper notice to the early March nominations? Also, please note that I shall be away for 10–11 days from Thursday next.
I hope everything goes well. Dank's work with the blurb writing has been enormously helpful. Brianboulton ( talk) 22:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
