News archive search request

[edit]

Hi there Laura, I've noticed from your previous contributions to AfDs that you seem to have access to a "bigger/better than google" news archive service. Are you able to review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maynard (Australian media personality) and help determine if he was the subject of "significant coverage" when he was the Triple J breakfast guy (he was called "Maynard F# Crabbes" (pronounced F-Sharp) back then, and was one of the stereotypical "wacky breakfast radio guys". I grew up listening to him, and I'm sure that he would have had a profile or ten done in the weekend newspapers etc. Thanks. The-Pope (talk) 00:08, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Much thanks on behalf of the National Teams Task Force for your effort to create articles for every women's national team.

To take a little load off your shoulders, I'll work on Mauritius and maybe a few after that. All this time I thought they didn't have a national team! Whatever, I guess I didn't look hard enough. Again, thank you so much. -- BCS (t · c · !) 19:40, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Laura. I added an alternate hook to the Aspioti-ELKA DYK here. If it isn't too much trouble I would really appreciate if you could review it. Of course I would understand if you didn't feel so inclined. Thanks again. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 06:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK Nomination for RST

[edit]

Laura, thank you very much for your directed feedback. In response to your critique: I can remove the Origins section of this article altogether; however, RST actually evolved from Gray's Biopsychological Theory, which grew out of Eysenck's related work, the Extraversion-Arousal hypothesis. Because the users on the Talk page of RST specifically asked for these additions (i.e. the evolution and historical context of the theory) and because there is a stub page on Wiki for Gray's Biopsychological theory, there are several ways I can address your critique. 1) I can remove the information on Gray's Biopsychological theory from RST page, use that information to expand the stub page on Gray's Biopsychological page, then link that Wiki page to the RST page so users who are interested still have access to that relevant information. The information presented in this Origins section is neither debated nor from a non-neutral POV. 2) Alternatively, I can leave the Origins section as part of RST article and focus on improving clarity? You mentioned that the Origins section was a "mess" -- would additional definitions of relevant terms, rather than just linking to the relevant term pages on Wiki, help clarify? 3) I cited the hook in both the lead and relevant body paragraph; I am currently adding citations/ relevant work for when you get an opportunity to look at the rest of the article (beyond the Origins section). I appreciate your time and efforts very much! Plroseman (talk) 18:20, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • You're welcome. You know how to know you're a Wikipediholic? When you email a university in Japan asking for first edition book cover scans, because you read somewhere that they have the books.

problems with dyk

[edit]

Ha!

Just as you posted on my talk page, I got an answer from Rob SchnautZ (WMF) on |here, saying "I spoke with Laura Hale over IRC and she was able to clear up what the issue is here. I agree; we can't have en:WP:DYK submission as a requirement in a course without making sure students understand and follow the rules of DYK. This is being addressed."

But there are also problems a GAN, with new editors passing articles without reviews. Maybe there's active online ambassadors somewhere, but I have yet to see one. Somewhere I saw that an article "review" process was being proposed - details unclear. MathewTownsend (talk) 22:15, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

COI tag of Dimensional models of personality disorders

[edit]

Your addition of {{COI}} to Dimensional models of personality disorders because "Classwork appears to be creating a COI, with editors primary concern being coursework instead of WP" is absurd. The editor has repeatedly responded to requests to improve the article, and continues to do so...they do not have a COI with the topic. Using the COI template as such is inappropriate.Smallman12q (talk) 11:52, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Oman women's national football team

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Oman women's national football team, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

RE: Starlight Spectacular (Canada's Wonderland)

[edit]

Hi, thanks for the review of the article! References are nearly impossible to find for this subject (all the articles on the internet state the same thing over and over and over), the one Facebook source is the only evidence that the show is returning in 2012 (unless you want another forum source) and reference #3 is really the only thing on the internet that describes what the show was (videos are the only source possible for the summary of the show).

I probably won't bother fixing these errors as (like I mentioned before) are pretty hard to find. I'm worrying about another article that has a chance at GA and possible FA now so if I feel bored, I'll try to fix non-reference errors.--Dom497 (talk) 19:01, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cape Verde and Chad

[edit]

I guess that if there is no indication that the teams even exist then there's no way that an article on them could pass WP:GNG. If, however, there is enough information on the other 2 topics of women's football in those countries in general, I'd say it would be a good idea to put the info into articles with those suggested titles :) If you keep me updated with which new women's national football team articles are being created, I can update the map as and when required.

Looking good. I am about ready to pass it, but I have one remaining question: The National Water Polo League article suggests that Arancini would have been on three championship winning teams. That is something I think deserves notation. Thanks, Resolute 01:40, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago Blackhawks

[edit]

There is, in fact, at least one team whose fans do something special during the playing of the national anthem: the Baltimore Orioles have for decades shouted "O!" say does that, etc. The difference, though, is that that actually relates to the team. Meanwhile, I would be surprised if the Hawks are the only team anywhere in which fans cheer during the anthem. If they were, that might be of some interest (its alleged "flag code violation" is not - that was an overenthusiastic user who heard something about it on what was probably a slow night on Fox News.) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:08, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are several in hockey alone. Dallas Stars fans are well known for yelling out "STARS" at the right points of the anthem, and in Calgary we yell out "C/SEE" and "RED" (owing to our "C of Red"; I think Washington may have copied that), while in Winnipeg, they yell "TRUE NORTH" during the Canadian anthem to match the owner of the team. That said, I was going to bring the "why do we care" aspect of Chicago fans applauding into the conversation, but Laura simply beat me to the punch with a far more bold action! Resolute 00:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If there's a place for it at all, that info for the various cities could be in the "Performances of the National Anthem" article (or whatever it's called), although I think the "O!" thing still belongs in the O's article (also), as it's strongly identified with them. As for "violating the flag code", that's silly. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:28, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re RFC on USEP

[edit]

Laura, I've seen the RFC you are drafting in your user space re the U.S. Education Program. Found it from a link Mike Christie had in a proposal he made. I note that a number of editors have contributed to the RFC draft. I am an active Campus Ambassador and will surely weigh-in on this if the RFC goes live, but are you looking for inputs to the draft now? I will be happy to contribute. --Mike Cline (talk) 13:06, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, at this point, I don't know if it will ever move to the main space. My basic conclusion is there is a clear need for such an RfC but I don't feel ready to be the one to move it into the main space. If some one is willing to fix it up to the point where they are happy to do that themselves, I would be happy to support it... but yeah, basically won't pull the trigger myself. Helping improving it based on feedback to get it there is cool. Anyone can edit the draft. --LauraHale (talk) 13:12, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Commenting again: I probably undid your contribution. I was under the impression based on your comment that you wished to IMPROVE the draft with moving it to the main space. As your comment expressed an opinion on a draft of an RfC that was not yet ready for the main space, I removed it. Please only update the draft to fix the text with the idea of moving to the main space. --LauraHale (talk) 14:00, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a sidenote, I figured you might enjoy this article. It was written by a USEP student, and is about a female artist who was prominent in southern California in the first half of the 20th century - but about who, before the Wikipedia article went up, you could find almost nothing online. It's written based on a handful of paper sources with more to come, including a multipage profile in the la times. (One of the refs is missing a publication name because she forgot it currently, but that'll be fixed sooner or later - it's a reputable publication and I've held the ref in hand, just neither of us can quite remember what it was currently, and we only recorded the name and author, not publication.)

Association for Psychological Science syllabus

[edit]

Your edit summaries on a few articles [1][2][3] indicate that you seem to have mistaken students from a Dickinson College class with Fleeson's. The Dickinson class has no relation to Fleeson. It isn't a part of the Education Program, so there are no ambassadors assigned to it. The class would appear to be working from the Association for Psychological Science sample syllabus (pdf), which has steps for nominating articles for DYK (in week 7) and GA (in week 10). Hope that clears up any confusion. Gobōnobo + c 12:39, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
