Odd DYK review...

Hi Crisco, I wonder if you would have a quick look at this DYK nomination please? I was raking through the list of nominations to find something to review and it caught my eye as I think it needs three QPQs. I'm asking for you to have a peek as you are an Admin. I may have a vivid imagination (and I know I must be very careful not to wrongly make suggestions) but is it odd that it appears the only contributions of Yas777 are the review and this article, which has predominantly been edited by the DYK nominator? SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:30, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

You're right on both counts. Noted. Don't be afraid to post your concerns on the nomination page; they were dead on. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:18, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:17, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Untied.com

On 19 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Untied.com, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Untied.com has logged 25,000 customer complaints and 200 employee complaints about United Airlines? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Untied.com. 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.

One more request

If you find time and interest, the article on the film Sholay is in peer review. It is the quintessential Bollywood film!--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:42, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

No guarantees, although I've noticed the discussion already. BTW, is Sholay related to the Arabic word for "devout"? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:46, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Unlikely. I am not sure about the root of the word Sholay. It is not used in Bengali language (which is my mother tongue), so not so strong on such words. If anything, it is likely to be related to some Persian word, as loads of Persi words are in north Indian languages.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:51, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Possible, as Malay (one of the main influences on modern Indonesian) was also influenced by Farsi; Hikayat Amir Hamzah, for instance, was brought from Persia. In Indonesian soleh or sholeh means a devout Muslim. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:56, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Languages are fascinating! Especially when you find links between one and the other. Indeed, bahasa is from bhasha, meaning language in Sanskrit it's daughter languages!--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:06, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Definitely! I'll try to review Sholay later, but for now you may want to trim the cast list and ensure "classic" is well supported. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:15, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Cebongan Prison raid

On 20 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cebongan Prison raid, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Cebongan Prison raid in Indonesia was declared a human rights violation by the National Commission on Human Rights, but not by Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cebongan Prison raid. 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.

Thanks!

Thanks for the work you do for DYK, and for the notifications! Best, NinaGreen (talk) 00:07, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Glad to be of service — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:08, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Choiseul Pigeon

Hi Crisco, could you please have a look at the license for the pic in the Choiseul Pigeon DYK nomination? It's an attractive image but I don't know enough about licenses to know if that is okay or not? Sorry to keep bothering you with stuff - but they do always say if you want something done, ask a busy person! SagaciousPhil - Chat 11:27, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Replied there. Better to take the safe route, especially since there is no indication that the changes were done by the uploader. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Crisco. Nominator has now swapped the image as per your suggestion, so it looks fine now. I'm afraid I'm useless at image licenses! SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Nah, just not as experienced as you could be. If you need to you can bookmark most of the related pages (the Hirtle chart and Non-US copyrights come to mind) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:35, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, at a quick glance, they look helpful. A quick heads up, there seem to be problems with the DYKQ - I think Casliber might be working on the duplicated hooks but a problem with another hook (the mammoth 16 article one) has just been flagged on the DYK discussion page. SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:42, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Heading over there. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:50, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Press conferences and copyright

Hey Crisco, are recordings of public press conferences copyrighted? In this case, the recordings appear to have been later collected and released on an album: and , for example. This came up in the review for the Bowie album Never Let Me Down; just curious whether these links are permissible or whether the album's info should simply be cited without a link. Thanks! -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:26, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

I hate audio files . Copyright depends on who recorded it, who was reading, any background music (doubtful for a press conference), and the content of the speech. The recorder has a copyright for that specific recording, the reader has copyright over how the work was presented, and the writer has copyright over the specific contents. In this case (without opening the file, poor connection) I think it would be safest to avoid giving links as the uploader may own a copyright on a recording, but the text and presentation are likely not his or hers. Any decently sized, human-created text is enough to attract copyright, no matter the degree of originality. A press conference is an essay is a short story. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:35, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

K, thanks. I'll recommend that it not be linked. -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Happy to help! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:22, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Nico Pelamonia

On 22 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nico Pelamonia, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that One Night in Malaysia was enough to make Nico Pelamonia Best Director? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nico Pelamonia. 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.

Another for DYK

I've just completed (or at least good enough to be moved from userspace) a revised version of Eisenhower dollar. Want to do the usual on a DYK nom? It looks like 5x from here.--Wehwalt (talk) 10:32, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Cripes that's huge. It's still a short of 5x though... about 3.3k characters short. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:35, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Hm. I used the actual prose size in the page size scripts I have.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:46, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Actual prose size? I was comparing the DYKcheck results for both pages, which is coming up short. The script doesn't count quotes either. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:48, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

While the collecting section needs padding, I don't think I can add 3.3k. Still, I'll look around and see what I can do in the next three four days.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:41, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

I've expanded it. It seems to qualify now.--Wehwalt (talk) 06:16, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Nominated. Yeoman (2011) goes nowhere, and Hicks (1974) has no links to it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:00, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I have to update that to the 2013 or 2014 edition (soon to be out). Hicks I'll add something.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:57, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Alright. Glad to be of service. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:22, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate the help, as I sometimes miss stuff.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:03, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/William Orr (Australian politician)

halo, crisco! Can you help with this? Is it feasible? O.o Thanks, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 12:28, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Saw that. Don't think it's feasible yet... not with the sources I've seen. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:53, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram

Looks like it go promoted, and then PumpkinSky banished it from the lead slot because the image was impossible to see to the final slot in the last prep. You can see the discussion at WT:DYK#Prep 3 photo.

I think this hook is long enough that the prep set ought to be only five hooks, not six, but can't judge whether a crop of the photo (the elephants on the right side of the main bas-relief could make a nice, 340x240 image that might look decent at 100x100 (about 100x70 visible), though the crop would have to be made and loaded. Can I leave this in your hands? The hook would be a good fit timewise in the new prep 3 after the current one is promoted to a queue. Thank you very much.
