I had a terrible time with the pictures. None of the ones in Chrisye could be used as they were all fair use, so I had to use a battleship - unless another FA gets passed in the next couple of hours. So many featured lists, almost all on sports, so hard to find something interesting - something besides head shots of white men and quality good enough to use - so I couldn't work in many featured pictures. What do you think? MathewTownsend (talk) 22:40, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

hey! I switched to a smaller image and fit another featured picture in. Feel a little better. MathewTownsend (talk) 23:15, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
I apologize but I had to remove that last image. It really screwed up the formating of the page and made a mess. Also, there's already a similar picture on the page. MathewTownsend (talk) 02:05, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

DYK for John de Rantau

I'm good

I'm mostly good. Submitting in about two weeks. Stressed from having gone home. Job hunting. At the moment, trying to get the following list expanded to DYK length:

Wanted all the missing ones nominated. :( But they were copied from my user space to the main space and started the clock ticking. Not ready for WikiWomenCamp. I wanted to get something printed and it just ain't going to happen. :( --LauraHale (talk) 07:32, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

User:Raymond Cruise COPIED, NOT MOVED from my user space with out telling me. (Hence my annoyance. When I do bunch DYK noms, I like to store up a bunch of nomination reviews, and then unleash them all at one time.) Ideal world? Merged into my user page versions and main space ones deleted so I don't have to panic at the thought of trying to get them all to length as it will require research. I was thinking of doing with about two or three a set, possibly all the ones from each region... but the info boxes were NOT ready. The prose was NOT READY. Also, SEVERELY NOT READY. I also kicked a bit of a fit over at Wikipedia talk:Ambassadors‎ about the DYK process. --LauraHale (talk) 07:43, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Major shit is about what I'm having. I have asked an admin to merge the things back into my user space and delete the main space. I almost certainly strongly suspect Saudia Arabia, Timor-Leste, Yemen, Kuwait, Cambodia and Oman DO NOT even have teams that exist yet. FIFA certainly has zero information on them. I believe Macau may also be lacking a team. User:LauraHale/Côte d'Ivoire women's national football team had at least 20 edits by me. It just was not prose fixed for DYK nomination and there was ZERO indication the article was copied from my user space. Just because the links were red and I have pages on my user space does not mean teams actually exist. (If worst came to worst, I would rename those articles "Women's football in Oman", "Women's football in Kuwait" and use the information on the user page article IN the main space article but with a different scope. Also, clock goes tick tock. --LauraHale (talk) 08:11, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
I hope so. I'm just... yeah. If some one comments to say "Please help edit IN MY USER SPACE" then do that. Don't copy user space over to the main space. He also added unsourced statements that they never played a game to the article. Not a source can I find that says they exist, let alone never played a game. Thanks for watching my DYKs while I was away. --LauraHale (talk) 08:23, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Then made an edit to the article after I had a snit fit all over his talk page. I just moved the thing. This will not end well. :( I tried to contact two of the federations governing the African teams asking them for pictures to be uploaded on Commons for inclusion on the articles. I've worked hard on tracking people down to get permissions. Haven't ordered books beyond roller derby for sourcing. --LauraHale (talk) 10:04, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
I seriously doubt I will. :( I asked though. I could call them but I don't think it would help much. :( One of the things I would love love love is to get all the African women's national football teams to DYK because African women RARELY EVER appear on the front of Wikipedia. I would make a case that they should not be included as sport articles for the purpose of only one sport article per cue on DYK because of that. --LauraHale (talk) 10:14, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

DYK: LWB

Hi, this morning you promoted a DYK article at Template:Did you know nominations/Losh, Wilson and Bell. This was the first article I reviewed for DYK, and I thought I did it right. I moved the hook to an empty prep area. I even asked an admin if I needed to do anything more, and he assured me there was nothing more to be done. See the exchange at User talk:Casliber#DYK Review Question. Your actions suggest I missed something or did something wrong. Could you please teach me what, why, and how you did what you did?

Tajul Muluk (religious leader)

Amnesty International has a new Indonesian prisoner of conscience, Tajul Muluk (religious leader), so I'm throwing the Crisco signal up into the clouds. English language coverage so far has been limited, but there's clearly more in Indonesian (Google Translate seems pretty terrible at Indonesian, unfortunately). Take a look if you get a chance; I'd be happy to split another DYK, etc. Khazar2 (talk) 16:57, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

One very specific question for you about names--should this be sorted under Muluk or Tajul? Sources appear to use "Tajul" to refer to him rather than "Muluk", but that could just be because his brothers are also mentioned in every article. Khazar2 (talk) 17:04, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I brought this up a few weeks ago in conversation, but this website has been bought out and closed down. I guess now I could work on their article without fear of inadvertently raising its profile. Mark Arsten (talk) 20:24, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Indonesia's other prisoner of conscience popped up in my news feed again today, and I thought I'd put him on your radar, too.

Good Article nominaton

I was talking to Mark Artsen and he suggested asking if you were interested in reviewing or helping out on an article that I nominated. The article is S&Man. I did feel insulted with the last reviewer which is why I haven't worked on it till now, but I decided to try to get my first GA. Mark Artsen also told me how strict Jezhotwells is so if that's the case, I shouldn't have felt insulted. Anyway, I decided to not let a good article nomination fail get me down.

I added access dates. What do you mean by standardized dates? SL93 (talk) 01:34, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
I think you mean like July 5, 2007 instead of 5 July 2007. SL93 (talk) 01:36, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
Looking at the current date formatting on the article, it appears to be consistently done, which should pass WP style guidelines. I've seen featured where this isn't the case. --LauraHale (talk) 01:49, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

From the one author's perspective, there was controversy. I did find a interview with the director of the film saying that Toronto was a positive experience. I'm not sure if the interview can be used though - http://www.iconsoffright.com/IV_JTPetty.htm. SL93 (talk) 17:07, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

I also found out that Erik Marcisak played the part of Eric Rost. Erik Marcisack never directed these type of films, but the whole subplot was fictional along with the series. The series was made up specifically for the film. I will see if I can find a copy of this film to watch so I can make things clearer. SL93 (talk) 17:55, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Abu Deeb image

Hey Crisco,

This is what I sent to her back then:

Then she sent the image mentioning it was taken by her along with many thanks. Does this count as declaration? Also should I simply forward it to OTRS or should it contain explanation as well? Thanks. Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:33, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

  • Did she declare that it has a compatible license, like CC-BY-SA? If so, forward it to Commons (see here for the address) with a bit of information (what it's confirming, what image [url link], and so on) then tag the image with {{OTRS pending}}. It'll take a while though. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:39, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
No she didn't, but I tagged it with CC-BY-SA 3.0 and today I sent her an e-mail to send a declaration to OTRS team. Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:42, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Image is already uploaded, so I'd wait till she replies/sends declaration e-mail. Mohamed CJ (talk) 16:02, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Help? :)

Hi. You clearly know your way around DYK; I, alas, do not. Can you tell me if I did this right? I expected a subpage to be generated and was planning to watchlist, but when I followed the "comment or review" link, it so didn't do what I was expecting. :/

Also, I had marked the one I reviewed "pass" but undid myself, because the directions didn't say I should do that. I'm not sure if somebody else does that. And I'm not entirely sure if I should mark it pass anyway until after I've found out if the image caption is optimal. :)

Your sage and seasoned advice would be much appreciated! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:57, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I've removed the tags. If you are now OK with the article, would you mind adding the relevant tick? Otherwise, it often appears to other reviewers that there are unresolved issues and old articles especially tend to fall through the cracks. Savidan 13:44, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
