Crisco

Bonus picture

Crisco, tell me, what does this means: **As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed size than the 220px default (users can adjust this in their preferences). If an exception to the general rule is warranted, forcing an image size to be either larger or smaller than the 220px default is done by placing a parameter in the image coding.**. I want that exception. I want images that are an exception to the general rule, I wan't them big. I wan't them to show up like 280px and I want that it should work for everybody - well if it is possible. I experience preference and image chaos, se talk page Tadao Ando. Also if this is possible, will you make a comentary on talk page, please. Bless, Hafspajen (talk) 11:09, 19 March 2014 (UTC).

  • You already know how to make the exception... and it forces the size for everyone. Now, getting people to accept this is a different story altogether, and you can't really force acceptance. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:07, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
.No, I really don't undrstan what's happening. At a time I belived that using upright will be good for everyone. I do not understand this.
  • First, there is the 280px. This looks like it is not alowing those preferences whatever that is. ( I guess people go in to their so called preferences in their OWN computer and make their OWN images look differen from the ones the standard image would be, but this is something I don't know about, and I guess quite a lot of editord don't - but I am only guessing)
  • Second, I thought if I do the upprighr=1.35 that will make those people whith the mystical preferces happy, and will show up like big on standard.
  • Third - there is this wide range of screens nowadays, on top of everything.

All these are only my guessings, because I used the same kind of computer since like 2000. I tried to discuss these thing here and there but I still don't get it . Hafspajen (talk) 13:52, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

  • No. I don't have any ... I digged down my last into a flowerbed. Well, accidentally. So, I said better without. While I do things I do, I wan't to feel free. Like in old times. Hafspajen (talk) 14:10, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

DYK

Nobody cares about me, this horisontal situation is very unconfortable.
Not anymore
Hi Crisco, I think I may be about to add to your woes - so apologies in advance! Hafspajen needs to have the DYK check tool added so he can use it for reviews; the link you gave on my talk page looks as if it has some added bells and whistles that perhaps he might not need? Would you be able to give him easy instructions (while he's here on your page anyway) to install the very basic DYK checker - or would you rather I drag him kicking and screaming back to my page? SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:12, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Whoops - sorry, after I'd pressed "save" I managed to work out that the link was showing the whole coding rather than the simple quick installation script. Do you want to guide him through which of his pages to add it to? SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:26, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Okay. Hafs, you need to copy the line importScript('User:Shubinator/DYKcheck.js'); to User:Hafspajen/vector.js, then save. Purge the page, and it's installed. It will show up in the bar at the left-hand side. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:28, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I am an artist, forChristsake, not a programer- what have I done NOW wrong? http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User:Hafspajen/vector.js Hafspajen (talk) 14:37, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

You mean in between the What links here; related changes, Logs, ... or above between Wikilove, sandbox, twinkle and so on? Hafspajen (talk) 15:06, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Yes it is here, but why is all the rest here? talk pages and stuff? like User talk:Angusmclellan , I am not even watching his page. Don't even remember talking to him. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/User_talk:Hafspajen Hafspajen (talk) 15:11, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Huh, what? No, the tool is not through the "What links here" link. The link is called "DYK check" and should be immediately after "Cite this page" in your sidebar. ("What links here" shows pages that link to the page where you clicked on the link, so this is picking up all the times you've signed your name). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:14, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Re: Angus: It's picking up your comment "You may wish to expand wally dogs or 'Wally dugs' or Staffordshire dog figurines. New article. Hafspajen (talk) 6:23 pm, 31 May 2013, Friday (9 months, 19 days ago) (UTC+7)" — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:14, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Did that, but am I going to be linked toghether with him forewer? And if so, where are the pages I use most like Phils, Drmies and yours , for example? WHY IS those pages linked? How did I managed to get linked to them. I don't wan't to be linked to those pages. Hafspajen (talk) 15:20, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
  • It is just showing that there is a wikilink from that page to your user page. The list is organized alphabetically (A, B, C, D, E and so on) so Drmies and myself are much further down the list. It's not really something to be worried about; I've probably got tens of thousands of backlinks. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:25, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Who linked those. It was not me. Wan't to delink. Hafspajen (talk) 15:27, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
  • It's linked automatically every time you sign. The only way to delink would be to go through those... hundreds... of pages... manually, to remove your signature. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:28, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Back to images

OH; no. that I don't care. Crisco, can you tell me how is possible to make a page layout that satisfying everyone+ WHAT IFsome pics are really no good at thumb. Obviously gives some guys the creeps, if they are 280px. Looks like the same for upright =1.35. For me it sounds like a labyrint all this preferences and sizes. there is the 280px. This looks like it is not alowing those preferences whatever that is. ( I guess people go in to their so called preferences in their OWN computer and make their OWN images look differen from the ones the standard image would be, but this is something I don't know about, and I guess quite a lot of editord don't - but I am only guessing) , as I said.
  • Second, I thought if I do the upprighr=1.35 that will make those people whith the mystical preferces happy, and will show up like big on standard.
  • Third - there is this wide range of screens nowadays, on top of everything.

SOLUTION=Nobody is happy. Hafspajen (talk) 15:35, 19 March 2014 (UTC) Hafspajen (talk) 15:33, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

    • The problem is there is no way to make everyone happy. If you force all images to be bigger (say, upright=1.35) then people on smaller displays will have issues. If you keep images the default size, then people on larger displays will have issues. If you force them smaller, then everyone except cell phone users will have issues. If you remove images, everyone will have issues. To see why forcing images to be larger is an issue, try adjusting the size of your browser window; see how the images don't resize, and take up an increasing amount of room? Anyways, I am off to bed (gotta go to campus somewhat early tomorrow). Sorry I can't help more with this. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:38, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Sorry, just butting in here, but I don't think it's a programming issue. It's a layout issue. One way to tackle it could be to resize the images 'on the fly' using Javascript or something but this wouldn't necessarily work well either. The bottom line is, Wikipedia is (potentially) viewed on so many different types of displays with so many different aspect ratios that it will never really be completely solved. I think 250-300px wide is a good size for most desktop (non-mobile) displays, personally, but I'm quite image-centric. Others seem to think less than 200px is ideal. Pff to them. :-) Ðiliff «» (Talk) 16:17, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
Quite so, I think also a 250-300px wide is a good size, personally, because I'm quite image-centric too. Question is to use 300px or to use the new upright= 1.35. Does it make several or more people happy using upright= 1.35? I met a lot of people just go and stripp all the layout and replace everyting with plain upright - and everything looks just weird, really. And if I put back what it was before they tell me I am forcing them to experience ... something that gives them the creeps. So I thought, maybe upright 0.1 or upright= 1.35 makes them happier? But I cant't check. Hafspajen (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I personally don't mind larger images, but (as Diliff mentions above) there are so many people reading, using so many different kinds of displays, that there are bound to be people who disagree with an image's size. You can't please everybody, especially on Wikipedia. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:07, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
  • The person arguing against bigger size said: but don't you think we should try to choose the option that inconveniences the least number of readers? And do you think forcing everyone to view one particular editor's preferred size rather than leaving it up to individual preference really is the option that inconveniences the least number of people? My question is = do we know that standard screen are in minority? Hafspajen (talk) 11:36, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Right now the safest bet would be to try to discuss at MOS:IMAGES and put forth your arguments regarding why higher resolution images should be used. Unilaterally changing the MOS will not work; it needs to be based in consensus. That will take a long time, and may not even be successful, but it's essentially the only way to avoid arguing at every article where you change the image size. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:10, 20 March 2014 (UTC)


  • Image use policy say: Sometimes a picture may benefit from a size other than the default; see the Manual of Style for guidance.


  • Manual of style: **As a general rule, images should not be set to a larger fixed size than the 220px default (users can adjust this in their preferences). 'If an exception to the general rule is warranted', forcing an image size to be either larger or smaller than the 220px default is done by placing a parameter in the image coding.


  • The exception from the general rule is most art and art related articles that they do fall into this cathegory, and they are this exception to the general rule .


None of these articles was my work, by the way, Hafspajen (talk) 11:06, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

  • I know that it is a recommendation, but you are not going to convince some editors that it's allowed. I tried to put Streatham portrait through FAC with a 300px infobox image, and it ended up killing a lot of bytes which needed not have died.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:11, 21 March 2014 (UTC)


Ä* Well, I don't know. Here are some guys convincing someone, succesfuly, about galleries. See what other editors working with art articles were discussing , here at Talk:Charles Marion Russell. with Montanawb. Sometimes I think people read the Manual of style like in 2008, and since then they don't realize that things the changes. I still meet people who tell me galleries are dicouraged, like the teddy bear article - issue. They are not, not any more. Hafspajen (talk) 11:06, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Crisco, I see there must be a bot issue, but in this edit you closed an FLC nom for List of awards and nominations received by Bruno Mars, but it's still showing as open, and has no delegate comments either, the nominator still believes the candidate to be open, despite it being closed over a month ago.

Hi Crisco. Over two weeks ago I submitted a draft article on the Talk page of Triumph International, where I have a COI and advertised my request at COIN, where it was archived without response. John Broughton reviewed the article and said he supported moving it into article-space, but I'm still waiting for someone to actually fulfill the Request Edit by moving it into article-space per WP:COI.

I was wondering if you had time to take a look. The Talk page discussion is here and the draft is located at User:CorporateM/Triumph. CorporateM (Talk) 19:02, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Red Skelton--good enough for GA? Had a little surprise the other day Talk:Red Skelton, as when I started working on it again, I found that the official Skelton website had borrowed most of the radio section and copyrighted it.

You offered to look at Perry Como a while back--not sure if you had time or not. As per your advice, one of the non-free photos is now gone; haven't yet found a free one to replace the remaining one.

I've noticed Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Language/2014 March 5#Transcription and translation of Korean markings. The identity of red stamp that you guys all wonder about, is "서울 大學校 圖書", which is pronounced "Seo-ul Dae-hak-gyo Do-seo". It means "Seoul National University's book".

Daedongyeojido has three version and all of them is designated as secondary national treasure of South Korea. The scanned verison(File:Daedongyeojido-full.jpg) is treasure item number 850-3, which is owned by Seoul National University Kyujanggak Institute for Koreanology Studies. The stamp shows that it is possesion of SNU KIKS institute. If you visit the institue, you can see Daedongyeojido in the institute museum. Just like the picture on right side.

DYK April Fools hooks set timing

Crisco, if I recall correctly, you typically assemble the April Fools prep sets. At the moment, we're at two sets per day, which clearly won't do the trick given that 21 are approved and another eight (or nine, if the one you mentioned on WT:DYK is added) are awaiting verification. Even with 21 you'll want three sets on April 1; the key thing is the timing since we're currently off-cycle.

I've just posted WT:DYK#Need to switch to three hook sets a day, at least temporarily on the matter, and suggested a switchover to three per day starting at 08:00 UTC (the next scheduled update is at 09:30 UTC, and after that 21:45 UTC on the 30th, and 10:00 and 22:15 on the 31st, as the bot adds 15 minutes per set in its glacially paced attempt to get to 00:00 UTC.

I think I've figured out what needs to be done to get the changeover to work, though as a non-admin I don't have editing privileges on the requisite pages. I'm hoping that there will be quick approbation to my post, and I can have an admin do the necessary work after 00:00 UTC a couple of hours from now.

Let me know if you are indeed the point person here, and think this is a good idea. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Crisco, Allen3 has already said he's going to make the adjustment on WT:DYK, so you don't need to do anything right now. (I did indeed mean 08:00 UTC on March 30.) I'd rather not have two admins colliding on something like this.
One reason I wanted to change today rather than tomorrow is that we're getting a last-minute flood of Women's History Month hooks, and having a couple of extra sets will help whittle down the number. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:08, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks to you both. Crisco, were you planning to work on April Fools Day prep sets this year, or will that be up to others? (The four prep sets currently awaiting filling are the last of the pre-April sets, so starting will have to wait.) BlueMoonset (talk) 01:08, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Isabelle Ciaravola

Crisco, can you take a quick look at the hook, and at my edit to the relevant sentence in the article, and let me know whether this is appropriate encyclopedic content or not? It could make a quirky hook, which is why it caught my eye, but I can't bring myself to promote it without getting a second opinion—I might have made the wording more encyclopedic, but the content is what truly matters. (It should perhaps be struck entirely.) I've already cast doubt on another Women's History Month approved hook (Template:Did you know nominations/Lily Bristow), and I want to be very sure I'm not being overly critical on Isabelle's, or coming down on the wrong side of the border because I'm overtired. I'll see what your opinion is come morning. Many thanks. Oh, and if you'd take a look at the special occasion Women's History Month section, and see whether you think Gerd Larsen ought to be promoted, that would help. Since I suggested the final rewording of the hook, I can't do it myself. (The ideal prep set, timewise, would be Prep 3.) BlueMoonset (talk) 06:10, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Blue, I think it is very fluffy (something we've had complaints about recently, otherwise I'd be more willing to turn a blind eye). I'd go with the 30 minute standing ovation, if possible. I'll take a look at Gerd. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:13, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Crisco, I'm just getting started in the morning, and Isabelle's in a prep area as a quirky hook. It's a set that has four bios (the final three in a row)—I'm reluctant to allow more than 50% bios even with the month ending. Even though it's a bigger step after the promotion, I'm willing to pull the hook because of the fluff, and come up with an ALT based on the ovation. I'll probably go ahead in the next hour unless I hear otherwise, since your day typically ends then. PS: Thanks for taking a look at Gerd. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:04, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Another naming(ish) thing

Hi Crisco. I have a potential COI with Nestlé Purina PetCare (the pet food company). While I was researching it, for a while I was a bit confused with the confusingly similar article on Purina Mills, a farm animal feed company that spun off in 1986. I was hoping that in order to better distinguish between the two and avoid any confusion among our readers, we could replace the redirect at Purina with a disambiguation page and make the Lead of Purina Mills more specific: "Purina Mills, LLC, is the animal feeds unit of Land O’ Lakes, which feeds farm animals on its 1,200-acre farm in Gray Summit, Missouri."[4] It was previously part of Ralston Purina (now Nestlé Purina PetCare) until the U.S. farm animal feeds portion was sold in 1986."

Does that seem like the right way to go? CorporateM (Talk) 20:30, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

As far as I know it's almost always just referred to as Purina. Not the best of examples but this shows staff just detailed as representing Purina. Maybe I should declare a COI as it's a feed I use (along with Royal Canin) ? SagaciousPhil - Chat 05:46, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
I think the dog food brand is often referred to as Purina, while references to the corporation will usually say Nestle Purina or Nestlé Purina PetCare. I actually use the Whole Foods generic brand personally. CorporateM (Talk) 13:04, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
BTW, I've submitted a Request Edit for another article-move here. I realize it's probably annoying having me pestering others to make every edit for me, but this is what WP:COI currently says to do ;-) CorporateM (Talk) 19:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Back to the first question: which company has the greater market share? A disambiguation page should work, but if one company has a significantly larger market share... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:16, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
Assuming no one has un-seated them since 2004, Nestle's Purina is the largest dog and cat food provider in the US with a 25-31% market-share depending on the year and source you use and about $6.5 billion in revenues as of 2010. In comparison, a 2001 source puts Purina Mills at $1.4 million, but it had $1.2 billion when it was bought in 1998.[5]
They do not compete. Nestle's Purina focuses on cat and dog food while Purina Mills feeds horses and farm animals. CorporateM (Talk) 00:41, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Coolio. I went ahead and submitted a Request Edit for it then and the other clarification. I know this must be tedious, but thanks for chipping in anyway! CorporateM (Talk) 01:58, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

  • I'd definitely expand this a bit more, to avoid it appearing to be a simple dictionary definition. Secondly, this needs some more references. Several sentences are not supported by a reference. Your list looks very incomplete, to the point of not having much value in the article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:07, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Most of the stuff that does not have a citation is already mentioned in at least one of the references, but just isn't cited properly, this is, anyway a pretty notable topic, a lot of people would have gotten one of these calls, just google it and there are heaps of blog posts. --TheChampionMan1234 06:12, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Sources question

Am still working at Skelton; last night I found a series of newspaper articles by him in The Milwaukee Journal for 1941. Google news archive is missing only the newspaper copy of the first, but the articles cover him working in the medicine show to what was the present then--1941. There's some wonderful material there--things like when they had a polar bear cub as a pet in a hotel and how he ruined an expensive theater organ in Minneapolis--trying to make people laugh by squirting a marathon contestant with the building's fire hose.

The accounts of some things Skelton gives in the articles are sometimes different than what's found in current books and more recent news articles. I'm on the fence as to what should have more weight--something he either dictated or wrote, or the more recent material. He had a biographer and spoke for years in interviews about writing an autobiography/having the biography printed, but neither ever happened. Some thoughts on this when you have a chance, please. Thanks We hope (talk) 22:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Alpha-gal allergy DYK

Just a quick note as I'm heading offline (5am here) but my wording on that DYK hook was based on [6], which is the source behind the press release, blog et al. sourcing in the article. On a quick read beyond the summary, "mammalian meat" is probably ok and is used in the paper but it mostly states "beef, pork or lamb". Imo, the article is poor, particularly in its sourcing, and should never have been accepted for DYK but the process there is notoriously unable to handle medical articles. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 04:15, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

  • I agree that DYK handles medical articles terribly, and would rather there be a complete ban on such articles than we spread misinformation. That being said, although pork and beef are probably the most common, the article (and apparently the source) support a more extensive definition; limiting it to pork and beef would be implying that others are safe to eat for those with these allergies. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:26, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Lafran Pane

DYKs by new contributors later than five days

Crisco, here are another couple of nominations made by people new to DYK—I believe these are both from one of the law classes where part of the assignment is to do articles on the subjects of their papers—and these came in a bit late. The initial reviewer gave them the orange X, but I wondered whether these should be given an exception because of newness and D9. Can you please take a look and decide one way or the other? They've been sitting there for a couple of weeks waiting for someone to decide. (I probably should have asked you sooner.) Many thanks.

—BlueMoonset (talk) 14:53, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Thank you very much. I've rejected the one, and added the other to my latest Older Nominations list.
On another topic entirely, I've just repatriated all but three of the April Fools hooks still awaiting verification. The repatriated ones have regular hooks and were already on the regular T:TDYK page, so that's their sole home now. (One had already been approved and promoted in the interim.) The remaining three: Thigh gap, Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!, and Baratuciat, are only on the April Fools page. I don't know whether Baratuciat, having been created on March 30 (and nominated that day) might be grandfathered into next year's list (I don't think the rules allow it), or if we should ask Agne27 for a new hook (and a valid QPQ). The Killing (Megadeth) hooks might or might not need revision going forward—I haven't actually checked the article. As for Thigh gap, I'd long ago expressed my opinion that since it was a November nomination, it had long since passed its sell-by date as a regular DYK. If you agree, then it's probably time to close it; if not, I'll let you take it forward. I do want to point out that it was going to be combined with Template:Did you know nominations/Operation Fourth Wave Feminism—the latest Template:Did you know nominations/Thigh gap comments seem to want to go back to the "original bold alt" hook, ignoring your subsequent improvement to it. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:53, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Grandfathering Agne's hook should be fine, I think, especially if she really really really wants AF. Thigh Gap... kill it. Let Fourth Wave Feminism go forward as a normal hook, perhaps. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:17, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the advice, Crisco. I've dropped Agne a note asking what she wants to do, and marked both Thigh gap and Killing with the orange X—the latter was a February 2 Good Article nominated on March 24, so it was only eligible for April Fools at that point, and didn't get reviewed in time. (Did you want to do the formal template rejection for them both?) I'm off to make Operation Fourth Wave Feminism independent again. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:01, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Colourful Tuaregs at the January 2012 Festival au Désert in Timbuktu.

Why this? I don't understand a thing about this. This article was partly translated from the Italian Wiki. And reworded, no way that is copyvio. What Refs are all bald URLs? Aren't we using webbsites as refs? The DYK that was twice green ticked was removed from que, why? Hafspajen (talk) 13:30, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

  • The issue is not that it's a copyvio (at least in the diff you've linked), but a direct quote was not in quotation marks. That's one, which on its own would not have been enough to pull from the queue. However, the references still need to be formatted (see WP:BURL why). Simple URLs / URLs + titles are not enough. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:00, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

But I put a <blockquote> </blockquote> on the quote. Maybe I should stop making DYKS. Hafspajen (talk) 14:03, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Crisco, I promoted this, and apologize for missing the direct quote. (Clearly, I should have stopped work sooner last night.) However, I've just read WP:BURL, and URLs plus titles are not, according to that page, bare URLs. In fact, I've never run into this definition before, and haven't ever treated URLs plus titles that way. While I prefer references to have more meat than just a title, my understanding was always as long as it wasn't just a [1] link or an actual URL (http and all), it was adequate for DYK. Is this not the case? BlueMoonset (talk) 14:14, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I think Yoninah was applying a more strict definition than what is in the rules right now (WP:DYKSG gives examples: "D3: Sources should be properly labelled; that is, not under an "External links" header. References in the article must not be bare URLs such as http://example.com or [1] – according to Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 29#Reference section. Many bare-URL references can be automatically completed with Reflinks."). However, it is good practice for Hafs to add a bit more meat. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:18, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
  • I don't call good practice to work my as of for a nice article for Wikipedia, and get kicked in the but just because I am not too good at all these high standards some people use. I would have preferred to be contacted on my talk page instead of being humiliated in front of all people at the DYK. Hafspajen (talk) 14:27, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

After several edit conflicts - But running ref links just converts bare urls to the way Hafs does his refs (url plus title). I also always thought bare urls were a [1] or the straight url? SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:29, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Well, I still think that it is about humiliating, sorry to say, no diplomacy, no nothing. Some people love rules, just run around the whole place and immediately punish people if something wrong. Some people like this game, and wikipedia is a good place to promote this kind of behaviour, it is even rewarded. As Yngvadottir pointed out, DYK has always been a very collaborative, workshop-type project; reviewers, people who promoted the hooks to the prep areas, and admins who moved the preps to the queues would all check the articles and help make them pass the rules. It was a good way for newbies, especially, to learn about referencing, avoiding copyvio, formatting ... and the community working together. Not taking away peoples lust to do any more DYKs. This guy stopped both me and the reviewer, BlueMoonset who closed the rev., he did all this without being an admin, or without discussing a thing with us. By the way, I think it is mentioned something about me being a new DYKer. **Hafspajen did this as his first ever DYK review, eh, what does this say about the project?

Here it is

Hi Crisco, I was pointed here by Sagaciousphil in a discussion about bare URLs. Although in my distant past I ignorantly did not know better, I currently agree with you that "URLs + titles are not enough." As BlueMoonset points out, WP:BURL does not currently list such forms as bare URLs. I knew that it used to. A long-standing example was removed, I assume without any kind of consensus. Then that example was restored, only to be removed again a few hours later by the same user who had originally removed it. Maybe it's time to restore this concept to that page, but maybe not with that specific contentious example. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:18, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

I do also agree that bare URLs plus title are insufficient and would hasten to add I don't normally use them myself. The problem, as I see it, is that editors are encouraged to use the Reflinks tool to 'fix' bare URLs and all it does is change it to URL plus title - well, it fixes some of them anyway! It's a tool I often use especially on dog breed articles as they are full of them. So WP:BURL and WP:DYKSG would have to be changed to discourage using Reflinks? SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:49, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Yes, some people erroneously think that Reflinks is a useful tool, when, in fact, it's an instrument of evil. It lulls people into thinking that they're turning bare URLs into acceptable citations, but its output is really only marginally better than its input. (It's got a better mode, but from what I've seen, almost everybody uses the inadequate default mode.) Yes, WP:BURL and WP:DYKSG should be changed to at least not encourage using Reflinks; if they mention Reflinks at all, it should be with a strong warning that its output is only a beginning which should be manually enhanced. And, again, WP:BURL should also be updated to describe this sort of construction as a bare URL, and give example(s) thereof. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 23:08, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

What is the kerfuffle about? I made the 2010 cover myself and put it up on the Wikipedia. There's no "non-free" issue. Wikipedia has permission to use it. If you can explain this in some way that makes sense, please do. -- Evertype·✆ 00:14, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Made the 2010 cover yourself, or scanned it from an illustration / design by someone else? That's one. Two, it is on Wikipedia with a non-free rationale, whereas the original 1902 cover is already in the article and free. Thus, the 2010 cover falls afould of NFCC#1 (non-free media is only used when there is no free media). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:22, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
    • The whole thing was made by me, 2010 cover and my design. The value of the thing is that it shows that the book is important enough to still be in print. I don't know what other rationale can be put on it. I really hate this kind of lawyering. The image is mine, and I want it to be on the Wikipedia. I put in a rationale that seemed to be accurate. Can you offer a helpful suggestion? -- Evertype·✆ 19:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
      • If you were the copyright holder, you would have to release this as a free image; using it as a non-free image is not acceptable, particularly as there is a free cover in the article already. To prove you own the copyright, you would have to submit an WP:OTRS ticket with proof that you do hold the copyright. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:51, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
        • I am the copyright holder. I don't need you casting aspersions on that. I don't know how to "prove" this. Are you in any way interested in helping? -- Evertype·✆ 09:18, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
          • I don't see how I am "casting aspersions" on that by asking you to verify it. I've already left you a link to how to "prove" you are the copyright holder at File talk:Clara-in-blunderland-cover-2010.png. You need to read that section I linked to, and understand it. A CC license, though it would allow the cover to be used on Wikipedia, would also allow the cover to be used by anybody else (and thus, possibly, allow them to sell the same PD book, with the same cover, and not give the original publisher any of the profits). It's not a decision to be made lightly. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:22, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
            • By saying "if you were the copyright holder" you suggest that I am not. Not good faith. Thanks. Evertype is the publisher of the 2010 edition, and I am Evertype; nobody disputes this and it's no secret. Now, to get to fixing the problem—there are many licences. There's attribution licences and all that. You're suggesting that only the Public Domain licence is acceptable, or so it seems to me. Why do you insist on CC? I want this image to be used on the Wikipedia. -- Evertype·✆ 09:33, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
              • "Why do you insist on CC?" Because we have a little thing called the non-free content criteria (WP:NFCC), which is a guideline which determines when and how a work which is not under a CC license (or PD, or similarly free license) may be used on Wikipedia. #1 is that "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose"; in this case, the 1902 cover serves essentially the same purpose. The image, if used under a non-free copyright, would also have to meet #8 ("Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."), which your argument (that the image shows the book is still in print) singularly is unable to meet; it's just as easy to write that. Furthermore, there is no "this image is not free, but it may be used freely on Wikipedia" license; that's actually a speedy deletion criteria (see WP:F3).
              • When a free example of a cover is available, that is the one that should be used on Wikipedia, per our policies... even if the free cover is not the most recent. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:40, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
                  • (ec) As for "only the Public Domain licence", I never said anything of the sort. CC is not PD. Photographs I take and release under a CC-BY-SA license are still copyrighted, but they are under a "free" (libre) license: one may reuse the content so long as one attributes me and releases that content under a free license. That's how one of my photographs ended up published in National Geographic Indonesia (link), and another was (apparently) used in a video promoting Singapore tourism. The difference is, I don't care about the commercial opportunities for these images, whereas a publisher of a book would (I should assume) certainly want to protect the marketability of their product. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:46, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
                  • Yes, there are many CC licenses, but the most "traditional" protection which is still free enough for Wikipedia is CC-BY-SA (discussed above). The NC and ND aspects of CC are not considered free enough for Wikipedia, and may only be used under a claim of fair use. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:46, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

{outdent}I've tried to change the licence and seem to have succeeded, and left discussion also on the deletion discussion page, and I hope that's all OK. I don't think there's any body else clamouring to publish a new edition of this (really very funny) 1902 parody; the low-res pic is nice and illustrative but nobody (with smarts) could use it on their own book cover for instance. -- Evertype·✆ 10:14, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, I've noted that for the past few months now, it seems that the IP-hopping Indonesian movie studio/anime vandal that I was talking about a few months back has been striking again at least for the past few months. I've only noticed his rampage just these past few weeks. Here are the IP addresses I've dug up so far.

It seems that for the past few weeks alone, it seems that he's operating on the 139.193.10x.x range. So does this warrant a block? He's becoming rampant again as far as I can see. Thanks in advance. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 02:06, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

PS: Let's just say I'm "battling" with this vandal since around December 2007. Vandalizing the same kinds of articles. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 02:06, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Huge range, infeasible to block. Can you give some suggestions about common phrases that are fairly specific to his edits? A filter might be possible.—Kww(talk) 01:46, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Crisco, you may already have seen my new comment at WT:DYK, but the main page was supposed to be loaded with a new set 28 minutes ago, but although there are a bunch of preps, no one has promoted them to a queue. If you could promote one to get things moving again, that would be great, assuming you (or someone else) hasn't gotten there first. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:29, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Star Film (Dutch East Indies company)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Star Film (Dutch East Indies company) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Getting permission to use an image

Hi there. I'm in contact with a video game developer, and I'm trying to figure out the steps I would need to take in order to get them to properly release an screenshot for use on Wikipedia. Can you explain the steps, or point me where I need to go to see what they are? Thanks. —Torchiest talkedits 02:06, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Torchiest: If they've already agreed to release images, what you need to do is the following:
1) Email them a copy of the form in the black box at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. The link at the top of that page takes you to Commons, which has an identical form and a bit more background information.
2) Have them send the completed form back to you in an email, with the images that they are willing to release attached to that email.
3) Forward that email to photosubmission@wikimedia.org. It's preferred that you send the entire email chain so that we can see the context, but all we really need is the specific email with the filled out form (and the attachments).
4) Leave me a talk page message letting me know that you've sent the email to OTRS. This step is important, because OTRS can get pretty backlogged (especially photosubmission), but if you let me know, I will handle it immediately for you.
I should note that this isn't the exact process as it laid out in the instructions; they could just as easily send the completed form directly to OTRS. This is, however, the way that I find works best, because when they send it to you, you know that they've sent it, can thank them personally, and have an idea as to how long the email has been waiting to be processed. Sven Manguard Wha? 05:14, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Black or brown lab?

A Labrador head.
Black Labrador Retriever portrait.
A Chocolate Labrador. EDIT WAR black Labrador

Tell me without looking to the file what colour this dog is black or brown. People edit war on this saying it is black. On my computer it is clearly brown. Is there a possibility to fix this? This is one of the real good portraits that fitted very nicely into the article before. But with all this colour - war..Hafspajen (talk) 01:42, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Hafspajen: It looks chocolate (brown) to me. Against pictures of black labs this dog looks very much brown. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:55, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Sigh - well, thank you... wonder why some say is black. like here... It is labeled black (file name) maybe on Ipads and laptops it looks black? Phil said it was looking blackish... Sagaciousphil, I was working hard to find an other pic instead of this one, but there is simply not one that is just as good as this one, not one is matching as well as this one with the other portraits in the Labrador Retriever article. Wonder if one of you picture experts can make it a shade lighter brown and relabel it? It was uploaded from flicr, and the source is NOT saying the dog is black. It says the dog is called Ellis, but nothing about the colour. Somebody labeled this dog as black when uploading the picture, bad luck. Hafspajen (talk) 02:00, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
Eh, what? How brown and how black those are, Crisco... I really don't know. But see how it was used in the article. Also show you other brown dogs. I show you even a picture with all the three dog colours, see here all three colours, so is it black - or brown, guys? I am inclined to think that it is the labeling that is causing the problems... and as I said the original pic from flicr is NOT stating that the dog was black, only that it was called Ellis. The uploader stated that the dog is black - but she is not active any more. The author is Marilyn Peddle and the uploader is Pharaoh Hound, but because she is gone I can't ask why she labeled this dog black as a filename, Labrador Retriever black portrait Ellis... I don't think it is black - I think it is brown and all this is a mistake. Hafspajen (talk) 12:36, 11 April 2014 (UTC)


(edit conflict)::* You mean the black dog. Well, now. The question is:

  • A) Is it possible to re-label the file - change the file name?

B) Is it possible to fix and do some magic that this pic will be a shade lighter?

  • C)Both.

I really need this picture for the article... Hafspajen (talk) 14:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Well, I really don't like to seem Pointy but apparently - Guys, you all need to go to SpecSavers. I emailed the photographer (yeah, I know, well someone's got to be the clever so and so ). She has just replied and Ellis is most assuredly ... ... BLACK! See him here. She's certainly taken some fab wild life photos though!

Well, the dog may be black, but still this pic looks brown. (And that dog in the pic doesn't look like this one by the way - poity). Either way this pic is wrong Hafspajen (talk) 14:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Here's the copy of her email:

Yes Ellis was a black labrador, I should know as he was my dog and I only have black ones! If you care to look at my flickr set https://www.flickr.com/photos/marilynjane/sets/72157594485322408/ you will definitely see he is black.

Thank you for your comments on my photos. Regards

Marilyn

If anyone gets the chance have a look at her photo stream on flickr there are some brilliant pics; I've only looked at a couple of pages as she has over 2000 images but to my untrained eye, some of them are brilliant (don't worry, Crisco, there's hardly any dogs, mostly wildlife). SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:34, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, Phil I love you very much, and the pictures are brilliant but this dog still looks brown. You have heard a couple of guys who work with a lot pictures and with trained senses above saying it looks brown (Crisco&Diliff), and they should be able to know. And if the dog is black, as you say - and you say you e-mailed the dogs owner - than this picture is quite wrong because it showing a black dog as a brown, right? So maybe this picture should be deleted. Hafspajen (talk) 14:37, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
  • If the image was a little warm (a possibility, and not necessarily accidental) I think that might explain the somewhat brown hue. This image of the same dog is clearly black, and this one shows that the animal takes a bit more of a brown hue in direct sunlight. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:19, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
  • -EDIT CONFLICT- Indeed. :) Crisco has hit the nail on the head, here's the reply I was putting together before he beat me to it: I think there's another possibility that you might be overlooking. It could be that this is indeed a black labrador taken in warm late afternoon light. This light often has the effect of making things look a little more orangey. Or in the case of a black dog, a little more brown. Here's a little experiment for you. Have a look at this image and tell me if it's a black lab or a brown lab? ....... Wrong! It's a black lab, the same one you displayed in the images above, but with the colour balance adjusted to simulate warm light. Likewise, it's fairly trivial to adjust the colour balance of the original image of the black/brown/whoknows lab in question. So in summary, regardless of what the dog looks like, your eyes can easily be deceived by the camera (if it gets the colour balance wrong), and by the lighting conditions. But as for whether it's the best image to illustrate that colour, that's a separate issue. Hafspajen, you seem keen to use the image though. One option is to use the 'adjusted' image, but then there's the issue of accuracy. The edit might look more like we know a black labrador to be like, but would the original photographer agree and approve? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 15:30, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
like this

(edit conflict)Well, I get your point, yes the warm light does makes a difference, as you said, both of you. Now my problem is that I need a picture, ANY pictue of a BROWN blasted lab that is about the size and display like the abowe. We don't have any. This is what we use now and it gives me the creeps...

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Horstmann Technique

Could you please restore this page and its talk page for a redirect to Alternative medicine. I feel that is a more appropriate move per discussion. I was able to find at least one reliable source The Big Picture: Insights from the Spiritual World per WP:PRESERVE. Unscintillating argument of information suppression also relevant. Thanks! Valoem talk contrib 13:32, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

  • If you want to create a redirect, there is no issue with that. The discussion, however, showed a fairly clear consensus for the removal of this content from main space (either as a deletion or userfication). As I said in the closing comment, I would not mind userfying the deleted text if someone requests it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:06, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
I've taken care of that, however I do feel per WP:PRESERVE that the article's history and talk page should be restored. Citations were introduced that were RS and coverage was significant. Given the sources for this technique, its history could be used for future expansion if more sources arise. Valoem talk contrib 14:50, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, in the deletion comment it says "There is no prejudice against the creation of a user space draft. I can userfy upon request." Since English is not my first language I am uncertain of the meaning of 'creation of a user space draft'? I would also like to express my support for the views of Valoem and Unscintillating regarding a possible merge into Alternative medicine article or similar. Terima kashi Matopotato (talk) 14:11, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Matopotato, it means that I can move the article and its history into your user space (likely User:Matopotato/The Horstmann Technique) so that you can work on it without having to worry about AFD or other similar things. @Valoem, WP:PRESERVE is not "don't delete before redirecting, ever". It is a guide to editing articles which have survived or would survive deletion but have issues which need to be addressed. It essentially means "rather than stubbifying an unreferenced or underreferenced article, try to clean it up". Now, as for the sources used... I can easily give you links if you want to add them to a "list of alternative medicines" or similar article, or you can get them if Matopotato userfies the article (which would, for copyright reasons, have the page history as well). Even better, you could help Matopotato clean up the draft so that it would survive in the main space as a standalone article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:21, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
I would appreciate if you could move the article including its history and people who have contributed to the User:Matopotato page (as I understood was your suggestion?) @Valoem: I would appreciate if you could at least guide me in the direction I need to take to enhance the article. Any help is appreciated. Thanks both Matopotato (talk) 17:05, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Crisco- The article Hahn/Cock uses a fair use low quality image. Is there a reason I am missing that a giant 3D sculpture on public display in Trafalgar Square does not fall under FoP-UK? Is it that the public exhibit is time limited? Thanks.-Godot13 (talk) 18:27, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

  • I think it's because the statue may not be "permanent", as defined on Commons, since it is only there for 18 months. Then again, if it is to be destroyed at the end of that 18 months, it would be considered permanent (i.e. the life of the work). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:06, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Help

Hi Crisco, I think I may have just made a dreadful faux pas. I reverted the addition of a link to a Blog on Hachi: A Dog's Tale but in the edit summary I included the name of the person who posted it on the blog - maybe I shouldn't have done that as the surname seems to be the same as the editor who keeps adding the information - it isn't their blog just a post they added to the blog. Also should links to google street view/maps be included in articles - originally the editor had included the links directly[11] in the article, which I removed and that seems to have triggered all this.

What tempura

Bonus picture

File:Shepherds Bow - Google Art Project.jpg. Still nobody made that correction. Featured pictures criteria 7: Has a descriptive, informative and complete file description in English.

  • Exactly. I was mentioning it at the Featured pictures, but nobody noticed here - a silly thing to say.

OK: I think I know what it is. I made a translation with Bing, and this picture is NOT an icon, no. Those are free, separate small paintings.

Question

Hi Crisco. Might you take another look at your close here? I don't think there was consensus support for a merge among the !voters (please especially read the !vote of one whose !vote for merging was conditional on an event that did not take place prior to your close). I would have no problem with a redirect. In addition to the !vote not reflecting consensus to merge, there is a policy consideration (as discussed at the AfD). The article is completely unsourced, was challenged as such via tag, and fails wp:v. All of it should therefore not be created without inline citations (all challenged text can be deleted per wp:v, and should not thereafter be restored without inline RS cites). Thanks for reconsidering. If there is a redirect, of course anyone could create whatever RS-supported text they want to at the redirect page.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:26, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

  • I was going on WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and the merge !votes, but if you take issue with my closure, I can close it as delete and then just make a redirect as an editorial decision. The existence of the school, which would be a prerequisite for WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, is not in doubt (as with their website), though it is clear that the school is not considered notable enough for Wikipedia (as you say in your deletion argument, for a stand alone article). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:09, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
    I think that your suggestion is a good one, and doesn't run afoul of wp:outcomes or of the !vote. I just think the recreation via merge of material that falls short of wp:v, and which has been challenged, is best avoided. Thanks much.Epeefleche (talk) 01:11, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Don't think I like these as much (with my FPC hat on). The paintings in general don't appear to have the original colours (just based on what I can see at thumbnail), but then again I've never seen any of these in person. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:10, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

NO, wasn't thinking of nominating any of them. Just for fun. Hafspajen (talk) 08:11, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Livio & Roby

Hi Crisco, hope you're well. I'm fairly new to wikipedia and recently wrote an article about Romanian DJ and Producer duo Livio & Roby which included their live act Premiesku. I have just seen that it has been deleted and was wondering if you could advise on how i can improve it so that i can get the article back up? Ashleyc1990 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 09:44, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Hi Ashley. In order to ensure that the article would survive a deletion nomination, you have to make sure that you have included several reliable, independent sources. They do not need to be in English (Romanian sources are fine), but they must be from sources which are independent of the subject and have a history of fact checking. No blogs, no Youtube comments, etc. To help you get started I can userfy the article into your user space, so that you can work on it without having to worry about another AFD. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:05, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Crisco . The sources i used were major electronic publications such as Resident Advisor, Mix Mag and DJ Magazine. Are these not the sort of sources i am supposed to use? Ashleyc1990 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:12, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

  • The issue with those sources, based on what I can see, is not that they were not reliable, or not independent, but that the coverage was not in-depth. Do you speak any Romanian? That would probably help find some sources which go into detail about these DJs. Or do you have access to other sources? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:20, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

I have a lot more sources on Premiesku. How can i access the article so that i can add them? Ashleyc1990 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 11:37, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Crisco, i won't move it back until you have confirmed that it is fit to go back up. I dont want it to be taken down again :) Ashleyc1990 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:20, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Crisco, i have added some more sources in the Premiesku section and i have also added a few lines about some of the notable shows they have played at. Let me know if you are happy for this to go back up. Ashleyc1990 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 10:57, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Crisco I have just added several more reviews. There are now reviews from Resident Advisor and Pulse Radio. Ashleyc1990 (talk)

Hi Crisco could you please let me know if these additional sources are ok? Ashleyc1990 (talk)

Tradisi dalam mengusulkan AP di sini

Bang, kalau saya lihat di sini, kok pengguna-pengguna di sini (termasuk abang) jika mengusulkan artikel menjadi AP biasanya sebelum itu mengusulkan artikel tersebut menjadi AB? Masalahnya, cara seperti itu, (maaf ini pendapat pribadi saya) buang-buang waktu. Kalau di WBI, jika artikel tersebut sudah cocok diusulkan sebagai AP, langsung diusulkan menjadi AP, tidak perlu lagi sebelum diusulkan menjadi AP, artikel tersebut diusulkan dulu menjadi AB (namun dalam beberapa artikel, ada beberapa artikel yang awalnya AB, namun diusulkan menjadi AP seperti Asmara Moerni, Tjioeng Wanara, Soedjatmoko, dll.).

As you're around ...

Crisco, I think I need some help with the German Shepherd article. An IP has done a lot of work on it over quite a few weeks/months - yes, some is problematical and s/he can be a touch tenditious/POV but it is generally well meaning. A slight spat seems to have blown up overnight when Hafs tried to make changes/suggestions and Hafs did correctly take it to the talk page. This morning the IP has reverted and is continuing to revert all the work they had done.

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing but I have just restored to a stable version, left a message (hopefully concilliatory) on the most recent IP number and the talk page. I know Hafspajen will see this here as well and I can understand as I agree the article does need some pruning. Sorry to pester you but I don't know what else to do? Any suggestions - or am I making things worse? SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:59, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

For some reason, I'm not managing to rstore the version of 04.14 19 April? SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:07, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. It doesn't look as if that's going to happen - the IP seems to have really got themselves worked up now see User talk:49.181.236.157. I'll just let it be and see what transpires, fingers crossed that everyone cools down and common sense prevails. I guess we can live in hope? SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:45, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Crisco, your expertise is wanted. At Phil's page we have on display a lot of pictures of puppies, and it has to boil down to ten-eight winners to be used in the article. And a new lead pic. You have no idea how many really bad quality pictures are out there on commons off puppies. I selected some, and removed a big amount already. Initially they were like 80 pics. Can you continue to remove some of it? and go down to 10 pics, something like that? Hafspajen (talk) 16:43, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Very good, just go on, remove 20-25 more. Don't be shy... We need only around 10-12 pictures to that article. there are now 47 pics. This is why we need a trained person to help us. Hafspajen (talk) 04:38, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

General PotD note

You probably shouldn't use phrasing like "is accompanied by the following verses" or, worse, "bears the legend" unless those lin3s appear on the illustration. I do not crop text. While there are cases where the first phrasing might be relevant - e.g. in some books (Including the one for the Princess Ida illustrations I think), a piece of tissue paper is over the artwork, with text printed on it - but this is not always the case; sometimes, it's only made clear in the list of illustrations.

Best to save such phrasings for works like File:Archibald Standish Hartrick - Rudyard Kipling - Soldier Tales 6 - The Drums of the Fore and Aft 3.jpg which unambiguously do bear the text referenced. Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:12, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Now this is silly. I asked to dicuss thing and some of the things added might be worth keeping. Some not, because there were problems with it. I wanted to avoid an edit war, as so often it is the case with the new editors if you change things, and who obviously is sensitive about they write, right. Yes I think it is a heavy case of Ownership of article, not good, Crisco 1492 . The template if anyone cares to read it, says IF YOU will revert you will be in edit war, please let's discuss things. Welcome, it says, and = You may be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors, if you do not discuss your changes on the article talkpages. Does anyone care to read things properly? Now s/he is gone. Hafspajen (talk) 00:53, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
  • He/she was clearly planning to leave after receiving those notices (hence why he/she reverted all of his/her additions). Read our definition of edit warring; I don't see that happening in the page history. At most, there may be one revert. That is not edit warring. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:10, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
But I was NOT saying s/he WAS EDITWARRING: I was saying IF s/he is going to revert changes without discussion, then s/he WILL BE IN AN EDIT WAR - : if....than...editwar. That page has a heavy history on editwarring on all kinds of things, galleries, for example. Never said she was actually editwarring. I tried to stop a possible editwar. If she ´WOULD HAVE READ WHAT WAS WRITTEN; AND NOT TAKED FOR GANTED I WAS AN ASHOLE, than we could probably discuss all those heavy changes s/he made - changes that were not all that brilliant. Hafspajen (talk) 09:31, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm not saying that you are an asshole, Hafs. I'm just saying that said template is generally used when somebody is already edit warring. Not as a warning that you will edit war if they revert you without discussion. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:37, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Well I am sorry but I am not that good always at expressing myself in these official things so I thought I take that and rewrite sightly, and it looks like that nobody actually read that, and why would s/he get upset when nobody was trying to do that. Hafspajen (talk) 09:41, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
  • When it comes to defusing something like this, something that even resembles a template is almost always a worse choice than something you've clearly written yourself. Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:51, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

This is a place for dreamers - Victorian Spy Camera Watch

Hi Crisco, would you have few minutes to have a quick read through Charles Joshua Chaplin to give it a brief check, please? Hafs wants to nominate it for DYK and I don't know anything about painters or art so may have made some mistakes when I've tried to do the light copy edit on it for him. Do you think the hook is covered sufficiently? Also what would be the best image to include? I'll try and talk him through nominating it himself (I'm not doing DYK at the moment!). I don't want him to get a knock back again - I think he had a bad day yesterday with us all being tetchy with him SagaciousPhil - Chat 05:50, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

  • I'll try and do something after work (well, if you can call an hour's English lesson "work"...). I can give the article a quick once over, but I won't be able to review since I proposed the hook. If we're trying to do a play on Charles Chaplin/Charlie Chaplin, I wouldn't add an image. That might give the game away. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:12, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. I realised you couldn't do the actual review, so it's more a 'pre-submission' once over! I've a couple of hours proper work to do now as well - school holidays here so loads to be done; this is the time of day when my dogs have had their breakfast, been exercised and settled, I grab my own breakfast before getting everything else organised. SagaciousPhil - Chat 06:26, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Looks acceptable, I think. Some of the words are... possibly a little odd for an ESL speaker (elfin? really?) but you've been copyediting along the way so I don't think there will be any close paraphrasing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:06, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, Crisco. I re-jigged any close wording I stumbled across so I hope it's okay in that respect. I managed to find a ref to replace the citation needed. I now just need Hafs to appear at my talk page so I can guide him through the (easy) nomination process before it's time limited. We have a lovely day here now the Haar is beginning to clear; still windy and chilly though, the temperature is still in single figures but at least not the frost of yesterday. It's nice to look out on as the Rhododendrons etc are just starting to bloom. SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:19, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
We get it all the time although we're about 8-9 miles inland. Sometimes it lasts until almost mid-day and I can then watch it roll back off the hill - only to return an hour or so later ... the joys of being near the North Sea. It's one of the reasons the beautiful sandy beaches are empty except for people walking dogs - to get any warmth or sunshine you have to go a long way inland. PS: Hafs, stop worrying about GSDs, it's done and dusted! Come over to my talk page and let's get your DYK nomination sorted out. SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:40, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

This

this I could think of nominating... THE LAZY LA - in this translation... La Perezosa,

We don't have any of these pictures (Not everything, some of it is just crap) by Julius LeBlanc Stewart, Thomas Heaphy Edouard Marie Guillaume Dubufe ->(Edouard Dubufe) Charles Joseph Frederick Soulacroix ->Frédéric Soulacroix and possibly Auguste Toulmouche and Daniel Hernandez Morillo Daniel Hernández (painter). Will you upload them if it is possible? Some of them are quite nice, it would be fun to have more of these. Hafspajen (talk) 08:16, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

  • Why would I have to do it, though? I mean, so long as these individuals died at least 100 years ago, or they died 70 years ago and their works were published in 1923 or earlier, there shouldn't be any issues. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:22, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
As for the painting: technically it's pretty good. However, its use on Wikipedia could use some work; I see nothing but galleries, and the reviewers at FPC will usually look for usage outside galleries. What if an article was written about the painting? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:26, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


1). Because I don't. (sorry but I am not very good at anything in commons. Never cropped, loaded or did any imageig thing...)
2) Well, I never thought of that, but it is an idea. The chap is a rather unknown painter, but this woman should be part of some kind of Lazy-woman series that should be famous. But in France and South America. Although I speak French, never really botheresd about French culture. By the way the interwiki links to the French articles doesn't work, on Daniel Hernández Morillo . Hafspajen (talk) 15:53, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Tomorrow I may look into uploading some of those paintings you've mentioned. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:57, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
Lovely article! Do you want to write about this painting? Yes, the interwiki works now, probably because I changed the title some hours ago, before it it was Daniel Hernández (painter) Hafspajen (talk) 16:03, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
And probably it is going to be much better if you you upload them, than others. It may even became a FP!Hafspajen (talk) 09:44, 18 April 2014 (UTC)


The Daniel Hernández Morillo translation, slightly silly

He was born in the Department of Huancavelica, Salcabamba district within the province of Tayacaja, on 1 August 1856, son of the Spanish Don Leocadio Hernández, and the Peruvian Doña Basilia Morillo. You reach Lima at 4 years of age, starting his art education at 14, in the workshop of Leonardo Barbieri located at San Pedro de Lima.1 street and whose classes takes charge when the master returns to his homeland. From this period is his work The death of Socrates (1872), which earned him recognition by the Government of Manuel Pardo, obtaining a scholarship to Europe and a commitment to grant that was not fulfilled in its entirety arriving from his trip in early 1874.

During your stay visit in Paris to his compatriot Ignacio Merino, which advises him to move to Rome; Thus it remains a decade in Italy learning Spanish painter Mariano Fortuny.2 In 1883 he returned to Paris where manages on its own merits to be the President of the society of Spanish painting residents in the city, linking with other artists as Francisco Pradilla and José Villegas Cordero, and was a member of the society of French artists, exhibited at the Annual Salon of the society of French artists, rigorous and difficult access by their severe dogma academician; It was wide and triumphant received in the seven years that arose, considered "fors concours" ("substantial competition") of the Parisian salons.3

For his famous Lazy La, was awarded the second medal at the Paris Salon, 1899. In the Universal exhibition in Paris, on the occasion of the change to the 20th century in 1900 gold medal was awarded in for his Cruel love, and The lazy earned him the Medal of the Legion of Honor in 1901. Since Hernandez was declared H.C. Honoris Causa, in all classrooms. In addition, earned the prize for painting at the Ibero-American exhibition in Seville with the work of Francisco Pizarro.

In 1912 he traveled to Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Rome, to expose their works. He returned to Paris where he lives up to the year 1918. Around that same time, his brother Inocencio, much younger, arrives to become one of the most illustrious preachers of the Dominican order in the Peru, which in turn coincides with the call receives this extraordinary painter by the President José Pardo to assume the leadership of the National School of fine arts in Limain which he contributed to the formation of new Peruvian artists, until his death in Lima from 1932.

Now, that is a little bit of a problem. That painting is not in the catalog. Was looking through, can't find it. The French and Spanish article say La peresosa won 1899 medal at Paris Salon.. . Hafspajen (talk) 10:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
OK; this say 1900 (see detalj...) BUT THIS SOURCE SAY IT WAS PAINTED 1906... Trained initially at the Lima Studio of the Italian Leonardo Barbieri, the painter Daniel Hernández left Peru in 1874 to continue his studies in Paris and Rome. In Europe he achieved a degree of success in official salons with paintings that, in spite of superficial signs of renewal, remained bound in spirit to the narrative and anecdotal painting of the nineteenth century. This painting is a clear example of this renewed academicism. The pastel tones and the lightness of the facture associate it with the gracious scenes set in the eighteenth century which, in the French rococo spirit, Hernández produced in other canvases. This type of indulgent painting won him favor in Europe’s official painting circles, as well as major awards such as the Gold Medal at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. During his time in Lima, from 1918 until his death in 1932, Hernández mostly devoted himself to teaching, as the director of the School of Fine Arts. He also produced portraits and historical paintings, a genre that enjoyed brief popularity in the midst of the celebrations surrounding the centenary of Peruvian independence...

True. The Spanish and French article say something that he won 1899 with some tired woman. Could be an other one, of course, but... Where is it then in the 1899 catalouge? Where is HE then in the 1899 catalouge? Found for ex. Matisse in the catalogue, but not Morillo or Murillo. Hafspajen (talk) 11:20, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
