Sorry, Tony. I'm just floating along these days, not doing reviews or anything that looks like hard work. I'm still enjoying research and writing but doing very little editing except to correct the occasional misspelling or to revert a bit of vandalism. I'm glad you're still at it, though, and I wish you the best. ] (]) 17:51, 10 October 2012 (UTC) Sorry, Tony.

Hi, I moved the discussion you started to the article talk page. --KeptSouth (talk) 15:59, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 September newsletter

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions) currently leads, followed by Canada Sasata (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Good Articles of the Month

Each month, 5 random good articles will be choose to be featured here as the good articles of the month.

Some Tips About References/Sources

Having references included in articles is one of the most important aspects to a good article, let alone Misplaced Pages! Without them, no one would ever know what is true and what is false and Misplaced Pages probably wouldn't be where it is today. So this month, I will talk about how to check for references, how reliable they are, and so on and so forth.

The first thing to do when reviewing an nominee is to do a quick scan of the article. One of the things to look for is if the article has references! If you don't see a list at the bottom of the article page, quick-fail it. For newcomers, quick-failing is failing an article when you spot a problem before actually conducting a full review. If you do find a list of references (and in most cases you will) make sure to look through each and every one. If you want to save some time, use this tool as it will tell you if there are any problematic references in the article you are reviewing.

Next, check the reliability and type of the references/sources. In terms of the type of reference, check to see how many primary and/or secondary sources are included. Primary sources are the ones published by the subject of the article. For example, if the subject of the article has to do with the iPhone 4s and the source is published by Apple, it is considered a primary source. Secondary sources are those not published by the subject of the article (or in close relation to it). Newspapers are examples of secondary sources and considered one of the better types to include in the article (not saying primary sources are bad). If you find that most/all of the references are primary sources, notify the nominator about this issue(s) and place the article on hold once you have completed the review. Only in the event that a secondary source can't be found as a replacement, then the primary source can remain. If there is a good mix of primary and secondary sources, that is perfect and no references need to be changed.

Now, reliability. Forums are generally not considered reliable and some blog's may not be reliable either. Newspapers, most sources published by the subject, some blogs, etc. are considered reliable. If you don't know wether the source is reliable, ask for a second opinion. For more info about how to identify wether a reference is reliable or not, visit this article.

Finally, one of the more basic things to look for is that every statement in the article has at least one reference! The only case that a statement doesn't need a reference is when it is common sense that the statement is defiantly true and/or in the case where the statement can't be challenged, as per what Misplaced Pages says, "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable published source using an inline citation."

Notes
  1. As of October 2, 2012 at 19:05 (UTC).
  2. Before quick-failing the article, verify that one of the several referencing templates is correctly placed at the bottom of the article. If the template is not placed, try to place it to see if references are displayed. If this proof returns no references, then proceed to quick-failing.

DYK for Death of a Salesman (1966 TV movie)

Updated DYK queryOn 5 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Death of a Salesman (1966 TV movie), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Death of a Salesman, a 1966 television remake of Arthur Miller's 1949 play by the same name, won three Primetime Emmy Awards at the 19th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1967? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Death of a Salesman (1966 TV movie). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Ricky Dilliard

where you objected to a prod, as fixable: I took a look at it, and it was obviously professionally written, so I checked the ref to his bio on his blog, and there it was, at http://rickydillardlive.blogspot.ca/2008/01/biography-ricky-dillard.html .I deleted as G12 When something looks both smooth & promotional, I usually find something like that. DGG ( talk ) 03:27, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

I agree with you that he's notable. If it were just promotional, I'd even have agreed with you that it should have been fixed not deleted. But it was out and out copyvio. Someone should write a proper article, but its too far out of my field. DGG ( talk ) 03:37, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

"Give Me a Ring Sometime"

I've already merged the Cheers pilot into Cheers (season 1). As for the awards on the pilot, the information is already at the "Accolades" section of the season article. There is no need to resurrect the pilot, even when there are awards won. I found reviews not very valuable to merge. --George Ho (talk) 03:35, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Discussion is created, and I would like more consensus. --George Ho (talk) 03:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Kinky Boots (musical), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fetish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/John Linton Roberson (2nd nomination)

Hi TonyTheTiger. I've been on an extended wikibreak for a while so I'm probably not up on all the current slang, but at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/John Linton Roberson (2nd nomination) you wrote "Delete his high G-test stats, I am not seeing PD content with him as the biographical subject", and I'm struggling to work out what you mean. G-test I'm wondering if that means some sort of google-test stats? and PD content, would that be public domain? Anyway, appreciate you clueing me in so I don't look silly next time it comes up. Happy editing, Hiding T 08:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Template:Franz Lehár

Hi there. I'm wondering if this might be redundant in some cases, i.e. when added to the articles on his operas and operettas. All of them already have Template:Lehár operas at the top of the page which has the exact same works listed and is standard for opera articles see Category:Operas by composer templates. Perhaps better to use your template only for articles on the films made from Lehár's operas and his bio? Best, Voceditenore (talk) 05:52, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

DYK for American Heart (song)

Updated DYK queryOn 9 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article American Heart (song), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Faith Hill's "American Heart" was the October 1, 2012, USA Today song of the week? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/American Heart (song). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Whaam!

I note you have removed my observation about the aircraft types in the Lichtenstein painting. You state that it lacks references. However it is hard to see how to cite references other than to the Misplaced Pages entries for the two aircraft involved. The text of the entry reads -

Lichtenstein also altered the target aircraft to a North American F-86 Sabre (note the oval air intake and low set tailplane). The original target appears to be a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (note the circular air intake with vertical division and tailplane about halfway up the fin). The Lichtenstein version thus shows one US aircraft attacking another.

- both aircraft names are linked to the relevant pages in Misplaced Pages and the differences between them mad clear. Examination of the original art and Liechtenstein's version will, I believe, convince any reader.

However, I am still a novice in Misplaced Pages practice so I may be missing something which is obvious to you.

Copyedit

Sorry, Tony. I'm just floating along these days, not doing reviews or anything that looks like hard work. I'm still enjoying research and writing but doing very little editing except to correct the occasional misspelling or to revert a bit of vandalism. I'm glad you're still at it, though, and I wish you the best. Finetooth (talk) 17:51, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
