[[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 14:01, 15 April 2011 (UTC) ==Newsletter column on FAC reviewing== We'd like to put a column in our monthly Milhist newsletter encouraging people review at FAC, or at least to assist the frequent FAC reviewers. Is there anything that new reviewers could do at FAC that you would find particularly helpful? (Watching) - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 18:52, 15 April 2011 (UTC) :Well, it'd be helpful for someone to do spotchecks for copyvio/plagiarism and to do image licensing checks, but those are both things that newer reviewers tend not to be comfortable with (or, in most cases, good at). Personally, I started at FAC with two main reviewing tasks: dab/deadlink checking (using the tools at the top of the FAC page, takes only a couple minutes to do and isn't too daunting) and offering random comments on stuff I didn't understand in the article. The latter of these is particularly helpful now because it (usually) represents non-specialist review and a clarity check, and it can flag an article for review by a more experienced prose reviewer. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 19:28, 15 April 2011 (UTC) ::Thanks. I've put all the responses together [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/March 2011/Editorials|here]]; feel free to add or subtract. - Dank ([[User talk:Dank|push to talk]]) 03:07, 17 April 2011 (UTC) == Alt text requirement == Hello Nikkimaria, Per your FAC comment that, "Note: alt text is not currently part of the FA criteria", I have to respectfully disagree. Item 2 of the FA criteria says it follows the style guidelines. The last bullet of [[MOS:IMAGES]] states, "Images should have an alt attribute added...". This indicates that Alt text is still required. If this is not the case, then the FA criteria should be making a list of such exceptions available to the editor community. Regards, [[User:RJHall|RJH]] ([[User_talk:RJHall|''talk'']]) 20:16, 15 April 2011 (UTC) :Hi RJH. Alt text was for a time specifically mentioned in the FA criteria, but was removed (you can read the whole saga [[Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_candidates/Alt_text|here]] if you've got a lot of time on your hands). To make a long story short, it was decided that alt text would not be discouraged, but would also not be mandated, and that so long as any alt text present wasn't clearly ''wrong'' (the example given at the time IIRC was "it says an apple is an orange") it wouldn't be discussed or debated at FAC. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 20:47, 15 April 2011 (UTC) :: Thank you for the clarification. Regards, [[User:RJHall|RJH]] ([[User_talk:RJHall|''talk'']]) 17:40, 16 April 2011 (UTC) == Thanks == I want to thank you for your review of [[Egyptian temple]] for FA status. I also want to thank you for FAC reviewing in general—I did it out of a sense of obligation while Egyptian temple was at FAC, and I hated it. Kudos to everybody who keeps the system working. [[User:A. Parrot|A. Parrot]] ([[User talk:A. Parrot|talk]]) 05:46, 16 April 2011 (UTC) :Agreed. I also feel obligated sometimes, but I really don't much like it either. Copyediting is alright, but when it comes to reviewing against the MOS and checkings refs and images, that is really boring.-[[User:RHM22|RHM22]] ([[User talk:RHM22|talk]]) 20:40, 17 April 2011 (UTC) ::It does make it easier to do so on your own articles, though. I'm not very good at image checking, but MOS and refs I don't mind. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 21:04, 17 April 2011 (UTC) :::Well, of course I don't mind going over my own articles! I suppose it's a little like cleaning a toilet. Wouldn't like doing it unless it's your own.-[[User:RHM22|RHM22]] ([[User talk:RHM22|talk]]) 21:09, 17 April 2011 (UTC) :::Actually, even then you wouldn't really like it. At least I hope not.-[[User:RHM22|RHM22]] ([[User talk:RHM22|talk]]) 21:09, 17 April 2011 (UTC) == Science Fantasy == I just wanted to say thank you for the source reviews and image reviews that you do. You're always efficient, good humoured and reasonable, and it's work that needs doing. It's very much appreciated. I also need to apologize for committing the same errors over and over again; in my [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Science Fantasy (magazine)/archive1|current FAC]] you've pointed out mistakes that you've pointed out at least two or three times before. I keep thinking that by copying my references from a previous FA I will have a clean copy, but there's always something new or I mistakenly tweak something. I promise that in future I will go back to my prior FACs and look at the source comments and try to do a pass to be sure I'm not repeat-offending. Anyway, I've replied at the FAC, and there's a question about the images, so if you could let me know the right way to handle that I'd appreciate it. Thanks again!

At least we've determined that Westport is in Connecticut ;-) [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 16:09, 16 April 2011 (UTC) == Trade dollar == Hi Nikki. Thanks for your comments and reviews at the {{FAClink|Trade dollar (United States coin)|1}}. I believe I have addressed all your concerns. Thanks again!-[[User:RHM22|RHM22]] ([[User talk:RHM22|talk]]) 22:07, 16 April 2011 (UTC) :Ok, I fixed the reflist to make it two columns. Just out of curiousity, what does it look like with two columns? I'm picturing two even, vertical rows of references stacked next to each other, but I'm not sure. I use IE, which apparently is not support by the "reflist2" template, so it looks the same as usual to me.

In news citations, the city of publication of a newspaper or magazine should be included if it is not already part of the name of the publication. I see that you have removed "London" from ''The Guardian'' and "New Delhi" from ''The Times of India'', undoing my work and making the article not conform to either general practice or WP rules. I have put them back again and I hope you will not do this any more. Thank you -- [[User:Alarics|Alarics]] ([[User talk:Alarics|talk]]) 10:28, 17 April 2011 (UTC) :Actually, that's not the case. Locations for newspapers are required for disambiguation, and in both of the cases you mention no disambiguation is necessary. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 13:58, 17 April 2011 (UTC) ::Oh yes it is. There is a ''The Guardian'' in Dar es Salaam, for instance, which happens to be one of the most important newspapers in Tanzania. Even were that not the case, it is standard practice in life generally, and amongst researchers and people in the media business itself, as well as under WP rules, to identify newspapers by their city of publication, without having to find out whether or not there is another one of the same name somewhere else. The only exception is where the city name is part of the name of the organ, as in ''The New York Times''. -- [[User:Alarics|Alarics]] ([[User talk:Alarics|talk]]) 15:34, 17 April 2011 (UTC) :::That is far from the only exception, and I would avoid broad generalizations like "standard practice in life". [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 15:47, 17 April 2011 (UTC) ::::Having been dealing with just such matters for 45 years, it's a generalisation I feel confident about making. -- [[User:Alarics|Alarics]] ([[User talk:Alarics|talk]]) 15:56, 17 April 2011 (UTC) :::::I don't know your personal background, but whether it's in publishing, academia, or journalism it's still more narrow than "life". However, this is quickly becoming a semantic argument. I have amended the ''Guardian'' location to "UK". As to ''Times of India'', I would still prefer to remove the location entirely. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 16:02, 17 April 2011 (UTC) ::::::"''The Guardian'' (UK)" does disambiguate it from the one in Tanzania, but not from many local newspapers in the UK called ''Warrington Guardian'', ''Beverley Guardian'', etc. which are often known informally in their local areas as "The Guardian". More importantly, it is inconsistent with normal usage, and indeed with other examples in the same article, where a newspaper is identified by its city of publication, never by country. Also: "York University" needs "location: Toronto" because there is a famous York University in the UK, which indeed I would have assumed this one was, had I not looked it up. Furthermore, ''St Petersburg Times'' needs "Florida" in case anyone thinks it based in Russia. -- [[User:Alarics|Alarics]] ([[User talk:Alarics|talk]]) 16:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC) :::::::There is no York University in the UK. There is a University of York, which is quite different. In any event, I've wikilinked both that and St Petersburg Times in case anyone else gets confused. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 16:45, 17 April 2011 (UTC) ::::::::But everybody calls it York University and many would not know its official name is different. To say that it is "quite different" is absurd. Wikilinking doesn't solve the problem in such cases, because it wouldn't occur to the reader to click on the link in the first place, if they thought it was York in the UK, or St Petersburg in Russia. -- [[User:Alarics|Alarics]] ([[User talk:Alarics|talk]]) 17:24, 17 April 2011 (UTC) :::::::::It might not be relevant here, but [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] recommends listing the newspaper's location if not already in the title.-[[User:RHM22|RHM22]] ([[User talk:RHM22|talk]]) 20:28, 17 April 2011 (UTC) ==FAC sources reviewing== I am full of admiration for your industry in this area; recently, each time I have been to the FAC page prepared to help out with a few sources reviews, I find you have got there before me.

But that is not why I am writing here. I am puzzled. I noticed that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shakespeare_authorship_question&diff=425348389&oldid=425345615 here] you protected that page, expiring April 25. And yet, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shakespeare_authorship_question&diff=425425118&oldid=425425069 here], an IP editor was able to make a change. How is this possible?

Regards, [[User:Alan W|Alan W]] ([[User talk:Alan W|talk]]) 06:24, 23 April 2011 (UTC) :I didn't protect the page from editing, per [[WP:NOPRO]]. However, because it's TFA I protected it from being ''moved'' by a non-admin - in the past there have been vandals who moved article on the main page to ridiculous titles, so this prevents that from happening (and there's really no reason to move an FA without discussion anyways). As for the protection tag, it's not essential since editing is still allowed, so I didn't bother, although you're welcome to if you so choose ({{template|pp-move}}). You can also check out the relevant discussion on the talk page, under "History". Hope that helps! [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 12:04, 23 April 2011 (UTC) ::Yes, it does help. As a non-admin, I am a bit fuzzy about such things. Now I know.

I notice that in you source reviews on the FAC page you comment "Multi-page PDFs need page numbers". Normally for journal articles I specify the first and last pages while for books I specify the actual page. I believe this is standard practice. As books are often cited multiple times I usually create a "References" section where I give the full details of the books and a "Notes" section with a "Reflist" and generate notes using the sfn or harv templates.(I'm aware that a template is not required) I then have a choice as to how to handle journal references: I can either create the full reference in the Notes section or I can add then to the References and then use a template to generate an entry for the Notes. I'm uncertain as which is the better system. Journal articles can be very long so just specifying the first and last page of the article is not very precise. By putting the full specification of a journal article in the References I can specify the actual page in the Notes section. Is this what you meant by your comments on the FAC page? Many thanks [[User:Aa77zz|Aa77zz]] ([[User talk:Aa77zz|talk]]) 10:20, 2 May 2011 (UTC) :No, usually when we see multi-page PDFs they tend to be some kind of report, so only have self-contained page numbers (ie they're not a page range from a larger work). These reports can be literally hundreds of pages, so I ask that they provide page numbers for verification (much the same way as you would for a book). The situation you describe with journals is a bit different, and I've seen it handled different ways. IMO either method of handling journal citations would be acceptable. Does that help?

There is no rule for or against GBooks links AFAIK, but it is far from my opinion - as I mentioned, many people are strongly against their inclusion, particularly the single-page ones that you're adding. I repeat, you should not be adding these across multiple pages without explicit consensus to do so. Assuming one has full access to the book on GBooks, the ISBN method will ''never'' take 200 clicks - it doesn't require clicking through the pages one by one. The links can change over time. They also add unnecessary clutter to the page without major benefits to the reader (as links are provided through the ISBN method), and increase page-load time for both readers and editors.

[[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 16:04, 19 May 2011 (UTC) :::I still not sure what your saying - the benefit to our readers is clearly evident - of course being able to see a refs in there context is best and an asset to Wikipedia. As for your claim its a format change i believe is wrong...its simply adding (filling in) a link to a parameter that is part of the template that is already there. Helping our readers in understanding topics is the whole point of Wikipedia (removing links that are clearly beneficial would be the opposite of this). I have never heard of any problems with them till now and dont really see your arguments as beatifically at all. Your argument is web sites are ok but scholarly book links are not -because they take time to load? You have shown me nothing to indicate there's a problem except load time that applies to all web links. ::::{{ec}} I don't think I said anything about other web sites - what I'm saying is we should cite books, but we shouldn't include individual GBooks links because they're extraneous given the presence of ISBN links, they add clutter (more so then most websites - they tend to be longer), they only work under certain circumstances, and they add to page load time. There is no major benefit to readers because the functionality provided by these links is already provided by the ISBNs. Anyways, there's a discussion currently ongoing at [[Talk:Canada]] about this, so let's continue this there. [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 21:25, 19 May 2011 (UTC) :So lets review this as its a bit up setting to me - You have removed (3 times now in the middle of this talk) valid links in templats that support the paramater (no citation style changed just filled in paramater) :Your aggumant is that "some people" dont like them and that the books ..thus there pages can be found by ISBN links and we have no need to link them directly. (I respond with y would we not use the fromat that would be the easiet for our readers - and there is no MOS on there exclution) :You say not all can see the pages (I say thats not our problem - if some can... they should not be limited because otheres cant) :You say for load time...(this would apply to all links not just books)- What is more inportant - Wiki principle goal of spreading knowlage to our readers or load time in a page that falls within page size limits? - This books have been digitized for the benifit of spreading knolage and is a resource we should be utlizing -UBC - UOF - UoM all now add books to this now - (sorry for all the typos dont have my glasses toaday......PS the reason i am so intersted in your views is of my great respect i have for your oppions and general knolage of things here [[User:Moxy|Moxy]] ([[User talk:Moxy|talk]]) 20:43, 19 May 2011 (UTC) ::I'm sorry you're upset, but this issue is something I feel fairly strongly about (and as a point of order, this talk didn't start until after the first removal). MoS does not advocate either inclusion or exclusion of these links (although I will note that the "suggested parameters" for books at [[WP:CITE]] does not include them). The issue that I see is that the links are beneficial to a relatively small subset of readers at the expense of a much larger group (those who can't see the links, those with slow internet connections or browsers, etc). GBooks links are longer than average website links, particularly when linking to a specific page, and unlike with citations to websites you don't need the URL for a complete citation. Wikipedia's goal, as you say, is to spread knowledge to ''all'' our readers - how do they benefit when for many this page takes a long time to load, given that ISBNs provide the same functionality and more besides? [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 21:32, 19 May 2011 (UTC) Moved to [[Talk:Canada#urls for books]] <s>: o well we will have to disagree here - {{tl|cite book}} says "URL of an online location where text of the book can be found. If applicable, should point to the specific page(s) referenced" yes its says "The ISBN link is a much better alternative" but its clear that there is the paramater that can be filled. The aggument that since some cant see them - thuss all should not benifit from it is not at all what we are here to do. Limiting all because of "some" is not proper. Whats better is to offer may ways of verification to our readers - not just the one way "you" prefer because "you" dont like the other that is allowed as indicated by the description of fields.

I had a quick question regarding one of your comments. When you wrote, 'For example, what is "blackened death metal"?', I was wondering: does this mean that the phrase should be removed entirely out of convenience for the reader? Or should I actually ''define'' it within the context of the article? (I had to look it up because, to be honest, I had no clue what it meant; I can't keep genres straight, there are too many of them!) [[Blackened death metal]], then, is a combination of death and black metal. Do I simply state this, do I go into what both of these genres are? And is it okay to write "openly" with the definition, or should I find an actual source that defines it and cite that...? Finally, I've read several FA articles and I've noticed that my style of writing seems almost "cramped" and rigid compared to the almost natural and relaxed writing of an FA article. Do I need to loosen up a little? I can find information and throw it into the pot, but should I become less strict on the every-sentence-must-be-cited-and-must-be-robotic type of writing? Well, maybe this last bit is asking too much of your time, but if you could get back at me regarding the genre bit, I'd appreciate it. : ) Thank you so much... –&nbsp;<font color="#06266f">Kerαu</font><font color="#1240AB">noςco</font><font color="#4671DS">pia</font><font color="#A60000">^◁</font><i>_{<font color="#5E1FFF">[[User:Keraunoscopia|gala]][[User talk:Keraunoscopia|xies]]</font>}</i> 17:45, 23 May 2011 (UTC) :Well, given that [[Blackened death metal]] is a bluelink, you might be able to get away with just linking it, or just adding something like "(a combination of death and black metal)". My concern is that people who don't know much about this type of music can understand the article (and if you yourself don't know without checking what a particular term means, then why would you expect the reader to get it?). As for the prose, you're right - it's a tricky balance between [[WP:V]]/[[WP:NPOV]] and the "professional, even brilliant" prose requirement of [[WP:WIAFA]]. What I would suggest (and maybe you're doing this already, I'm not sure) is reading the article out loud - that helps nail down passages that need loosening or other alterations.

You're a busy person, and that's fine. I appreciate the work that you do here- you are an amazing reviewer and have a great eye for detail that I admire. With that said, I find the way you conduct reviews a little unsettling. When you comment on an article's FAC, you assume the responsibility of working with the nominator/contributor to improve the article in question. Yet (and I mean no disrespect here), you seem more concerned with making sure you reviewing every single article placed on the project page, rather than working with the individual articles. There was a discussion on the [[Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_candidates#FAC_down.3F|FAC talk page]] about the delays in the promotion process, and to be honest, I think this trend is symptomatic of this delay. An article cannot pass and the delegates cannot promote it until the reviewers express their satisfaction with the article, especially if they have opposed it. It's been a few days since I've requested your presence at [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/21 (Adele album)/archive1]], and so has [[User:Keraunoscopia]] for his own FAC [[User_talk:Nikkimaria#12_Gauge_done|here]]. You have not responded to either of us. I'm not here asking you for your support. I'm asking that you take responsibility for your oppose vote, follow up when nominators ask for your input, and reassess (to either maintain your oppose, or at the very least strike it), so nominators and delegated can gauge what their next move should be.

Thanks. --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller|talk]]) 18:41, 13 June 2011 (UTC) == Help with sources == Hi Nikkimaria, I'm looking for some help, or rather confirmation, that a list of sources I have would pass the grade at FA level. They're all books, all related to the [[Antelope Valley]] region of California, especially the cities of [[Palmdale, CA|Palmdale]], [[Lancaster, CA]], [[Rosamond, CA]] and [[Mojave, CA]], mostly in regards to their history and the valley's gold mining. I've arranged the list by publisher and author, and left little footnotes about each author or publisher where I've managed to find information about them when I think they might be questionable. There's a section at the end of the page about one of the authors, it might help to ascertain whether he is notable enough for an article and/or whether he is a reliable source. The list is at [[User:Matthewedwards/Library/AV]], please let me know what you think because it's a rather small area of the United States and there isn't much written about the area compared to say, London, Los Angeles, New York. If these books are not suitable RSes, what is the usual course of action for writing about small cities and towns? I remember seeing somewhere that there is a bit of leeway with these types of articles and primary sources, but how much? I have a feeling I'm going to be at a bit of a loss for writing about the area. :( Regards, <small><span style="border:1px solid #0000ff;padding:1px;">[[User:Matthewedwards|<b>Matthewedwards</b>]] : [[User_talk:Matthewedwards|<font style="color:#accC10;background:#0000fa;">&nbsp;Chat&nbsp;</font>]] </span></small> 19:18, 13 June 2011 (UTC) {{Talkback|User Talk:Matthewedwards/Library/AV#Sources}} == ''The Signpost'': 13 June 2011 == <div style="-moz-column-count:2; -webkit-column-count:2; column-count:2;"> {{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2011-06-13}} </div><!--Volume 7, Issue 24--> <div style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">'''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|Read this Signpost in full]]''' &middot; [[Wikipedia:Signpost/Single|Single-page]] &middot; [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Subscribe|Unsubscribe]] &middot; [[User:EdwardsBot|EdwardsBot]] ([[User talk:EdwardsBot|talk]]) 01:13, 14 June 2011 (UTC)</div> <!-- EdwardsBot 0151 --> == DRN == Saw your edit summary on the DRN page.

What are your feelings about adding the doi & JSTOR links? I retrieve papers from various places, in some cases even hard copy journals, and don't feel these links are necessary, but wanted to run it by you. Also the University Press information is formatted according to the latest edition of MLA, but has been changed. Again, do you have any thoughts on this, or don't care as long as it stays consistent? [[User:Truthkeeper88|Truthkeeper88]] ([[User talk:Truthkeeper88|talk]]) 00:42, 19 June 2011 (UTC) : Even if we decide we don't care, he shouldn't be doing that without gaining talk consensus, per [[WP:CITE]]. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<font color="green">Georgia</font>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 01:51, 19 June 2011 (UTC) ::Agreed. While both links have their uses, they're not required, and adding them without consensus constitutes a violation of CITE. ''Personally'' I like dois, but wouldn't include JSTOR links unless I actually accessed the source through JSTOR. The University Press formatting doesn't matter to me so long as it's consistent, but again if you've established one formatting it shouldn't be changed without consensus. Hope that helps!

I was wondering if you could have another quick look and let us know if the results are adequate. I was wondering what your feelings are about abbreviating journal titles. In some articles (including those that have passed FAC) the article consistently uses abbreviated journal titles (''Curr Opin Neurol'' etc), while in others the titles are expanded. On [[:rhabdomyolysis]] I changed them to the expanded form. I think PubMed and most medical publications use abbreviations for brevity, but this might not be suitable in an encyclopedia. [[User:Jfdwolff|JFW]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Jfdwolff|<small>T@lk</small>]] 07:03, 19 June 2011 (UTC) :Abbreviating journal titles is fine ''if'' a) it's done consistently and formatted consistently, and b) the abbreviation is recognizable (either because it's a standard abbreviation, or just logical - for example, "Rev." for "Review" is pretty common). I'm not a medical person myself, but I've read enough of those articles to know that using abbreviations is very common in that field.

Was definitely irked that the citation format made a major change after you had looked at formatting so carefully. (What went down there? I missed it.) I'm wondering if you will be able to still take pity on the fellow and re-look at it in Vcite? At least a check to make sure that there was no huge mess-up? I can admonish the fellow NEVER TO DO THAT again. But, if we need to send a lesson to him or whoever changed it, let me know, so we get them humping to change it. (Or maybe we even take a fail...although I really would prefer not to for that reason...article is close.) It's a pretty dull subject, but very well covered (I have worked a little in this industry as a supplier. Also, I read all 5 other aircraft FAs for comparison. It's actually an article that Wiki can be proud of.) I am trying to help the dullness a little bit as well, by "streamlining" the airframe. ;-) [[User:TCO|TCO]] ([[User talk:TCO|talk]]) 17:50, 26 June 2011 (UTC) :The change was made (not by the nominator) based on the discussion at [[User_talk:Fnlayson#Cite_book]] - I'm not sure I follow the argument there, but that was the rationale. I can take another look at the formatting so long as they can agree that it won't be changed again - given that the opposer was complaining about the change that's not guaranteed, so I was waiting for them to give a firm statement that they're either keeping it or not. <small>Oh, and "Nikki" for short, not "Nick" please.</small> [[User:Nikkimaria|Nikkimaria]] ([[User talk:Nikkimaria#top|talk]]) 18:17, 26 June 2011 (UTC) ::Thanks kindly, Nikki.
