Contributing to FEB24

[edit]

Thank you for contributing to the backlog drive.

I reviewed [these edits] that you made to article Avtonom Golovin, and noticed that you added two links to Wikisource entries and tagged the edit with WP:FEB24. There are two problems.

  1. While Wikisource may be a great way to FIND reliable sources, it isMAY not ITSELF be a reliable source (see WP:RS) for Wikipedia; see WP:RSE and in particular this section.
  2. The goal of the backlog drive is to add inline citations (see WP:INLINECITE), and while any citations and links to sister projects are welcome, only the first addition of one or more inline citation may be tagged with WP:FEB24.

I have therefore moved your links to Wikisource as {{Wikisourcelang-inline}} into an External links section (as per WP:MOSSIS). I also noticed that there was already a prior link to a reliable source in the article, but not properly formatted as a citation and not used as an inline citation either, so I put it into a {{cite journal}} and moved it into a General references section.

I hope this doesn’t annoy you too much, and doesn’t put you off contributing. Betterkeks (talk) 12:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Betterkeks. I think there is a misunderstanding. Wikisource is not the source, the sources are the Russian Biographical Dictionary and the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, both are dictionaries known to be useful sources about the history of Russia. Wikipedia's policy is that encyclopedias may be cited. WP:TERTIARY They are both hosted on Wikisource, which is why I added the Wikisource URL, as it is convenient for those who want to check the source. Jaguarnik (talk) 15:22, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Jaguarnik, I’ve been doing more reading and it seems Wikisource needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, contrary in particular to this section. Furthermore, there is even template {{cite wikisource}} that COULD be used to add inline citations that use Wikisource! (Note self-corrections above.)
Still, I notice that both Russian Biographical Dictionary and Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary have externals links. I am curious why we would not use these instead of Wikisource?
(I also think this section needs to be updated to state clearly that Wikisource data may be sourced IF reliable, and how in practice that reliability may be established.) Betterkeks (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Betterkeks, I honestly wasn't aware of the external links of RBC and B&E dictionaries; I think those links can also be used, I just used Wikisource as it was more convenient. I also wasn't aware of the cite wikisource template, thank you for that!
I would go back if possible and put inline citations for the information in Avtonom Golovin and Ivan Mikhailovich Viskovatyi, but I am not sure how to put inline citations without simply making the same citation over and over again, as most of the information in those two articles are contained in the encyclopedic entries. Jaguarnik (talk) 21:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I would use the external links with a {{cite book}} or {{cite encyclopedia}} for inline citations. But I would also include links to Wikisource in the External links section, using {{Wikisourcelang-inline}}. Using {{cite wikisource}} isn’t common (it is only used on approximately 5,800 pages), and establishing reliability for Wikisource seems like an unsolved problem, at least to me ... at the moment.
Referencing the same citation from multiple places is done by giving the <ref>...</ref> a name such as pol18 (see WP:NAMEDREFS); that is, <ref name="pol18">...</ref>. Have a look at article Vic Schwall as an example; the inline citation <ref name="pfr">{{cite web ... }}</ref> is also re-used elsewhere as <ref name="pfr" />. To refer to specific pages, you could do this: <ref name="pfr" />{{rp|2, 5–9, 11}}.
If you want to keep the main text light by keeping all the citation definitions in a single place outside of main text, you can use list-defined references (WP:LDR). An example is article Digital timing diagram, where <ref name="ptd24" /> is used twice.
Alternatively, you could use shortened footnotes (WP:SRF), which seems to be the "system" preferred by contributors in humanities.
I tried coming up with citations, but as I can’t read Russian, the below is as far as I got (using both {{cite book}} and {{cite encyclopedia}} as examples). Note that for the {{cite encyclopedia}} I left it spaced it out for the moment while completing it.

Part 2 of Ivan the Terrible

[edit]

Looking over this recent GA you did, I am impressed with your work on this article. The plot summary for the second part of the film, however seems a little disjointed and I suggest you look at the same plot summary on the Russian language version of the article. If not that is fine, if you are interested in working on some articles I have suggestions. Happy editing my friend. Paleface Jack (talk) 01:28, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Paleface Jack:, I appreciate your kind words. I did look at the Russian language version while writing the article, and watched the film to make sure everything was correct; unfortunately the plot of the second film does not always flow logically, so it's hard to have it less disjointed. I will keep in mind that feedback though, as I hope to make the article a FA. Any suggestions for articles to work on are deeply appreciated. Jaguarnik (talk) 19:54, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. FA is always tricky, and tightening up your prose, verifying sources, and general copy-editing can be tenuous but necessary. I myself have gone through countless failed FA projects but have not given up. I can give you a hand here and there if you need it, now a days I have been focusing on my mountain of revision drafts (Texas Chain Saw being a massive undertaking), improving my failed featured articles and research. I don't know if your interests span beyond just Russian articles but I have a few non-Russian ones you might find interesting. Paleface Jack (talk) 20:18, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anything you think I would find interesting is good; while I do work primarily on Russian articles, it is not my only area of interest. Jaguarnik (talk) 20:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What genre sparks your interest? Paleface Jack (talk) 20:40, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do like art films like Angel's Egg, so I would be interested in articles like those. Jaguarnik (talk) 21:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Art films are always fascinating. Me, I specialize on horror/art films but have been known to branch out. There are a couple Japanese art films that are in fact quite good though their articles are sorely lacking. Films such as A Page of Madness, The Face of Another, and Pastoral: To Die in the Country are just a handful I have my eyes on. Page of Madness I have tried my hand at with some help from another user though I have had waning interest in perfecting what I wrote. Paleface Jack (talk) 22:57, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the recommendations. I do like the music from Face of Another - Takemitsu is a great composer. Will look at those to see if I can't improve them. Jaguarnik (talk) 19:40, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you wish for help, advice or general talk message me on my talk page. Paleface Jack (talk) 20:02, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Art films, especially Begotten will always be my soft spot. Paleface Jack (talk) 20:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some more potential sources for your Ivan article

[edit]

In a lull in between edits, I did a little digging for more sources you could or could not include in your article.

  • Leyda, Jay. “Two-Thirds of a Trilogy.” Film Quarterly, vol. 12, no. 3, 1959, pp. 16–22. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/3185979. Accessed 30 Sept. 2024.
  • Maddow, Ben. “Eisenstein and the Historical Film.” Hollywood Quarterly, vol. 1, no. 1, 1945, pp. 26–30. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.2307/1209585. Accessed 30 Sept. 2024.
  • Jacobs, Lea. “A Lesson with Eisenstein: Rhythm and Pacing in Ivan the Terrible, Part I.” Music and the Moving Image, vol. 5, no. 1, 2012, pp. 24–46. JSTOR, https://doi.org/10.5406/musimoviimag.5.1.0024. Accessed 30 Sept. 2024.

These are really helpful, thank you. I'm taking a break from the article so that I can look at it later with fresh eyes, and I'll look at these sources then. Jaguarnik (talk) 17:03, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. Any particular film's you are aiming for in terms of expanding or watching? Paleface Jack (talk) 18:07, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My long-term goal is to have all of Eisenstein's films at good or featured article status (2/10 of his films are at that status). Outside of Eisenstein, I would expand The Cranes Are Flying ( the article as it is currently is not much better than a stub) and maybe Face of Another (I would expand it more if I could, but I can't read Japanese, and I guess a good amount of information about that film is in Japanese...)
By the way, you mentioned earlier that the plot for part 2 seemed disjointed; if you don't mind, it would be nice if you could look again and see if it reads better now. Jaguarnik (talk) 19:05, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure thing. I will help you out on expanding things. I have been on and off working on expanding The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in a separate userspace (A helpful thing if you ever want to do edits of articles without having others intrude upon them), and some other projects. I do have an acquaintance on here that helps me with things from time to time, he knows more Japanese than I ever could and I can message him on Discord if you like. Paleface Jack (talk) 21:26, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did some minor edits. it's better than it was and will need only minimal copy editing to touch up. As for your eventual FA nomination of this article. word of advice, copy edits will go a long way, and you have been pretty good with that so far. If you can find any historical info on its american/international release it would be good to flesh that out somewhat and have a paragraph in reception and release sections that give some dedication to that, though it does not need to be major or substantial by any means. If you require assistance on this or other projects I am on here and Discord quite regularly. Keep up the great work and happy editing. Paleface Jack (talk) 16:19, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DCWC closing update

[edit]

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Bronze Belt Buckle – 3rd place Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; Silver Belt Buckle – 2nd place Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Gold Belt Buckle – 1st place Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three, Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! India Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or ask one of the coordinators: Ixtal (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).
