Crocodilia

Hello. Would you continue your review of Crocodilia, maybe do a source spotcheck or reference format check? Thanks. LittleJerry (talk) 20:54, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello? LittleJerry (talk) 18:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Sorry LittleJerry, I'm not getting much time in front of a computer just now. Had also said I would go back and look at St James' Church, Sydney and tried to do that yesterday. Will see if I can get to Crocodilia today... hamiltonstone (talk) 21:32, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Okay, thank you. LittleJerry (talk) 01:35, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
All done! LittleJerry (talk) 00:00, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Feedback on amph FA

Hey Hamiltonstone,

I want to thank you again for giving your feedback on the amphetamine FAC. Since I suspect the nomination is nearing a close, I was wondering if you had any other suggestions/feedback, or, if not, were willing to take a concrete stance (e.g., oppose/support) on the nomination. Sorry for bothering you with this if you're busy!

Best regards, Seppi333 (Insert ) 19:58, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the additional feedback!
Btw, I had a question about improving accessability of the pharmacodynamics section. Do you think that it'd be understandable to an average reader if I made a 2nd image that shows what this neuron would look like without amphetamine? Beyond comparison diagrams, I'm out of ideas on how to simplify it. Seppi333 (Insert ) 06:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
I don't think the image support is the issue, it is a question of whether text as technical as this is appropriate to the encyclopedia article. I have an open mind on the issue, and would really like others to give their input. I suggest you ask the views of a couple of other FAC review regulars like Wehwalt, or ask one of the delegates to give their view (but don't ask the delegate who closed your last one - they will probably prefer to remain uninvolved, so they are seen as impartial when they review it next time...). Sorry I can't be more help, hamiltonstone (talk) 00:36, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi, you had left some comments on this article's FAC review and I was wondering if you could continue your review on the article's talk page so I can fix any other issues you had before the next FAC nomination. --JDC808 21:02, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I don't usually review game articles - i only did it because it was way down the bottom without many people having a look. I'm going to pass, I'm sorry. hamiltonstone (talk) 00:41, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Patrick Corrigan

Dear Hamiltonstone, thank you very much for your comments. As this is my first article it is very encouraging. I presume your note about the potential conflict of interest relates to the book? I'm curious about the comment "looks as though you have addressed this through the 'article for creation' request". Is there another way? I assumed this was the only process to create/publish an article. To me, the reviewing process seems opaque. Thank you for all the other pointers and tips. Best regards Jane Raffan (talk) 21:04, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jane, sorry for the delay. Yes my COI comment relates to the book, but I also thought you might have a coi if you were paid by Corrigan (that isn't a question so you don't need to respond). Articles can be created directly, without going through the afc request process. But you've avoided any issue with that by taking the approach you have. Any questions, feel free to ask - though i can take a while to respond sometimes! Regards, hamiltonstone (talk) 11:13, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Making more constellations engaging

To finish off the four Southern Birds, I have buffed Grus (constellation) for GAN, while Tucana is sitting at FAC (though Thopha saccata is attracting much less attention) - if you have any time a bit of spit'n'boot polish to make the prose as nice as possible is always appreciated :) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:47, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:

  • This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
  • Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
  • The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
  • An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Myra

Thank you for your comments. There are many other stories that I could tell, but unfortunately, I can't reference them!

I see there are already a few there that come from your personal repertoire. My favourite is of course the one with the garbage collector. I do hope you publish a family memoir in a reliable source, and then we can have the full story! hamiltonstone (talk) 11:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Are you a Scottish Hamilton, an Irish Hamilton or an Australian Hamilton? In other words, am I talking to a close relative, or probably not? Amandajm (talk) 11:03, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

That question is more complicated than you think. All three, and none. Scottish by birth, Australian by upbringing and residence, Irish of heritage in patches, but as to the origin of the Hamilton, well, Kentish, to the best of my knowledge, though I well know that may seem unlikely. Ramsgate, to be precise. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:27, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
We are married into Scottish Hamiltons, who migrated to Australia several generations ago.
Maybe the Australian Dictionary of Biography would be the way to go. I haven't got enough for a book. If I don't write it down, it will be lost, I suppose. They are only snippets. I hesitate to state that Myra invented the searchlight. It seems to have been more like a laser. According to my aunt Lavie, who was not an entirely reliable source, she shone it on the cat, and the cat died as a result.
The Mary Gilmore story came from a much more reliable source, my other grandmother. The story goes that Myra was in the habit of listening to a radio broadcast by Leadbeater, a proponent of Theosophy. On this particular day Mary Gilmore had come to lunch and was arguing the point with Myra. Gilmore said "Well, if this man presumes to have all the answers, then let him answer this.... " and posed several difficult questions. The broadcast was turned on and he answered Gilmore's questions exactly as if he had the script. Gilmore took her hat and stormed out. That is how the story goes. Amandajm (talk) 02:21, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

to explain lack of interest at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Thopha saccata/archive1. I recognise it's esoteric but wonder about the engagingness of the prose. Any comments welcome at Wikipedia:Peer review/Thopha saccata/archive1 Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:52, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Hm, that would have been disappointing. I had a glance through. I have read better leads - it peters out a bit in that last sentence, but nothing leaps out at me particularly as bad.

Brandis edits

Hi there,

How about this addition, and deletion of the previous Bigotry quote.

When asked by Senator Nova Peris in Australian Parliment on March 24 2014, "Won't removing section 18C facilitate vilification by bigots?”, Brandis claimed “People do have a right to be bigots, you know. In a free country, people do have rights to say things that other people find offensive, insulting or bigoted. ” Brandis went on to accuse Senator Wong of bigotry. Brandis' bigotry comment was followed by intense media scrutiny.

Thanks. have replied with a tweaked versino of your suggestion, at the article talk page.hamiltonstone (talk) 05:25, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Fresh Eyes requested

Hello, I was wondering if you would mind taking a look at ongoing peer review on the WINC (AM) article. The article was promoted to GA status on April 10 and this is the PR prior to going to FAC.

The reviewer on the article, User:Finetooth, doesn't know much about radio stations and User:Casliber (the GA reviewer) says it looks a little "rough" still. Both agree a third set of eyes would be helpful. Thanks in advance...NeutralhomerTalk00:36, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

As it happens I just did that! Saw Cas's suggestion. I agree it's a bit rough. Tackle the stuff I've raised, then let me know and I'll take another look. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:07, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that I removed File:WINC-AM 1941.PNG.‎ Presently, File:WINC-AM 2009.PNG and File:WINCStudios 03242014.jpg are the only two images on the page. I have posted this on the FAC page as well. - NeutralhomerTalk21:57, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

With your help, the WINC (AM) was just promoted to Featured Article status. Together, we took a C-Class article, edited, added and made it a Good Article. We didn't stop there, we made it better and now it is a Featured Article. Whether you made one edit or twenty, you still helped and I thank you. :) - NeutralhomerTalk10:04, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi - I will come back to it, but it may be a few days from now, because i will try to put aside time to read the whole thing. hamiltonstone (talk) 23:33, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi there. This is a message for CasLiber, HamiltonStone, SturmVogel and Crisco. Thanks for your help and feeback re: the Singora article. It achieved FA status on Saturday.

I got a message today saying the article will now appear on Wikipedia's home page on June 4. This surprised me. I read somewhere that it usually takes several months for featured articles to make it to the home page.

I've cleaned things up a bit. CasLiber and Crisco noted that the section about Persians in 17th century Siam looked out of place. I've deleted this paragraph.

I've also re-jigged the lead and added:

  • 1. Alternative names / spellings to the Early History section.
  • 2. An explanatory note re: the foundation of the city in 1605.
  • 3. An explanatory note re: Sultan Sulaiman's declaration of independence in 1642.
  • 4. A second paragraph to the The forts at Khao Daeng section.

If you have time to briefly glance through it again, please do. I still feel the article can be improved prior to June 4.

Thanks again for your help. I've enjoyed doing this. I finished Oxford University almost exactly 30 years ago, so this has been an opportunity to cast aside some of the rust and dust that's built up over the years. Perhaps I'm not as good as I was, but I think I'm still just about okay!

I'll login from time to time. If you'd like a review, do please feel free to let me know.

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Warlugulong to FA status recently.

If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,307 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be).

  • Tag specific statements that need an inline citation but currently do not have one (since not everything needs an inline citation)
  • Raise concerns related to other criteria, such as prose (so I can address them first)
  • Review Tan Chay Wa's tombstone trial as I can address concerns immediately (any concerns are unlikely to be about sourcing)

Once again, thanks for your reviews. By the way, Yue Hwa Building was placed on hold, and subsequently passed, by another reviewer. --Hildanknight (talk) 01:50, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Jean Bellette may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • [[File:Jean Bellette's "Chorus without Iphigenia".jpg|thumb|right|''Chorus without Iphigenia'' (circa 1950]]

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 03:43, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Reculver FAC

I just wanted to thank you for the effort you've already put into the Reculver FAC, apologise for the source-checking being so time-consuming, and ask, as a total ingénu regarding the detail of the FAC process, was there anything I could have done to make that aspect less time-consuming, or was it just the sheer number of references? Sorry to take up yet more of your time with this...! Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 11:42, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

There's nothing you could do. It was basically volume. The thing that took most time was the primary source issue, but in my experience one never knows these issues until someone raises them. Also, because it's your first FAC, there is an expectation that someone will check a sample of the sources for plagiarism, inappropriate paraphrasing, or claims in the article that aren't supported by the citation. That will take some extra work in an article with so many references. Hopefully someone will come along to share the work on that. hamiltonstone (talk) 11:48, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for re-assuring me once again, hamiltonstone! You're right about the primary source issue, I was absolutely confident that the sources were appropriate and that I'd handled them properly, and I'm extremely grateful for your ultimate support on that. It honestly hadn't occurred to me that my first FAC would be harder for everyone else, I thought it'd be me doing all the hard work! Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 12:43, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Further FA congratulations

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Hilda Rix Nicholas to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,294 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. BencherliteTalk 13:37, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
