of the article. I could not defend that, so the images (helmet, logo, uniform) had to go. I tried keeping the infobox without the image, but the thing is, it seems to expect a uniform to be there, and it is impossible to remove that from what the reader sees. If that can be fixed, we can put back the infobox, but the image problem is still there. My suggestions on Jets memorabilia have been turned down. I have no early Jets or Titans memorabilia, and as far as I know, the Jets have no public exhibit of stuff (the Giants do have an exhibit room of memorabilia, I've read in the papers). I do not think this nom will be lost to images, it is not unusual to be short on images under these circumstances. On Giant2008's concerns, I did go through all the "Year in Review' refs and made sure we weren't claiming anything in the article supported by one of those which wasn't on the original. I would not say I am happy about the way things are going, but I'm not that concerned yet.--

people had been involved?". Thus, Alice Ayres, H. Jones and Todd Beamer were involved in events that would have ended differently had then not acted in a notable way, and thus the articles are about them; Imette St. Guillen, Ian Tomlinson and Katrice Lee were people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and thus the articles are about the event. There's a gray area around some of the soldiers, lynching victims etc, but those would remain a judgment call whatever policy was decided on. My opinion of the Village Pump is vanishingly low—I think its primary purpose is as a kind of flypaper to attract the nutjobs and keep them from pestering everyone else—so if it were down to me I'd go straight to an RFC, if you really feel it's necessary. –

not on January 20, I don't think) The footage does show Vicki, for about 1 second and he was apparently standing at the top of the bleachers where Nixon was. He was then a Federal employee, as the staff was sworn in about a half hour after Nixon was, but there might have been arguments about whether it was in the course of his duties. However, Mrs. Haldeman deeded it to the library and I was told that it was unrestricted. OTRS might have been dicey though. Oddly, there is no WP article on Ollie Atkins, something I must do something about when I get the chance.--

refusing to make it a bio, in what appeared as an attempt to downplay Holloway's life and accomplishements, while highlighting her parent's divorce). They strangely (and against consensus) wanted to discuss Beth Twitty's divorce more than Natalee Holloway's bio, in spite of it being named as a bio. There is some clear anti-Beth Twitty POV in there, and in Wehwalt's reviews of her/his books on Amazon.com, but I believe we all agree these cases that are notable beyond the crime should be bios, not events. Ping me please if I should add my voice anywhere.

perfectly straight, I will never win a photography award. What I am thinking of doing is uploading the raw shots to commons and ask you to crop and straighten them if possible, but keep the originals on commons so that Elcobbola can satisfy himself they are PD. I will do this as soon as I can find my dingus to load images from an SD card to my computer. Would you mind doing that work? I don't have anything to repay you for what you do for me, but it makes my life a little easier and frees me up to worry about the prose criticism.--

do this, so I put a trial up on the article. I started with the first issue of the series (1842 - Chur) by describing the design to the best of my abilities. I've also included the inscriptions, engraver and diameter. I used to standard columns that I used for the other figures. Since I can't find any sources that actually describe the design of these coins in detail, is it acceptable for me to describe the design? I've added a reference tag that should take care of the other information (diameter, engraver, inscription). Thanks, -

according to community wishes at any rate. Since you nonetheless feel that I'm unable to judge your FACs neutrally, I think it best that I reopen both of them as you requested (as the archived one was much older than the promoted one, and is the only current FAC with two opposes), and leave those until Karanacs can come through later this week; I'll let her know that you want her and Laser to handle your FACs in the future, and that Laser is recused on one of them. Best,

It has to do with FAC because if you say that "troubling things about your character are revealed in some of the things you write, not only here on Wiki, but also off-Wiki. I hope your other articles don't contain the sort of POV that Holloway does", I don't feel those are fair comments, and go directly to the question of whether you can evaluate consensus regarding my writing. So I guess you're recused, then, and you ought to reopen.-- 9180: 4518:...But the problem with that assumption is that I'm chock full of people knowledgable on volcanoes; it's my area of expertise, after all. In many cases an outside reviewer is very much appreciated, as they can provide a "layperson's" eye and warn you if you get to technical. Plus, I've already asked around the project; there aren't a ton of people there, just 3 of us active writers, several maintainers and several "lightly involved." 6730: 6651: 217:

the authorities on Shield nickels to release some shots, have not heard back from him, and other alternatives are getting a coin dealer to let me take shots and the national numismatic collection at the Smithsonian, and I dont' know if they have any on display. Can you pull from one end while I push from the other? I'm working on the other image concerns at Liberty Bell, they are not insuperable.--

6584:, which says "an ideal title will confirm ... that the article is indeed about that topic". So the question becomes "Is the article about an event or a person?", to which there's no black or white answer. In the case of Katrice Lee it seems clear to me that the article is about her disappearance, not her, and vice versa for Alice Ayres, but I can understand that others may reasonably disagree. 6478:

Till is clearly in the same category as Ayres and Corrie, and that the article ought to have his name as the title, but I find it hard to think of a clear written formula that would give that result without doing the same for Ian Tomlinson (which, to my mind, clearly ought to be at "Death of…". These issues all came up before a couple of years ago in response to the activities of

weeks, as I wasn't happy when that discretion was removed from the delegates, but the community decided otherwise, which leaves my hands somewhat tied. Perhaps you'd prefer I re-opened the archived FAC, in which case you can wait for Raul or Karanacs to close it, which may take several weeks. Let me know,

It was not unusual for stuff (pamphlets, perhaps programs) to be published in the 1960s without copyright notice, I've mined that for my Nixon articles. However, I don't really feel like buying on eBay on spec, and I know of no archives were such stuff might be. Maybe Canton, but I have no plans to

It is a half hour movie, but that is the only bit that shows the Vicki (I am all thumbs with video software, but this came out nice). I am doing the same thing, actually, but I haven't encountered that many problems as I tend to summarize a page into a sentence. But there had been a sentence in the

Really? With an admin in the hot seat, you'd think the regular suspects would be running for miles to reach the scene. As for my DR skills, if any, they will be a source of discussion should I run for ArbCom, certainly. I think you've gotten off to a good start as delegate by trying to resolve the

stayed blocked for two weeks. In any event, as a crat and functionary, YM is held to a higher standard. But certainly, if YM would just come and explain, and if it was at all reasonable, I'd be inclined to let it go on promises that it would not recur, at least until the next functionary election.--

9269:

Well; the harm done by YM is another factor. Nyttend's actions may have offended one or two people (I am reluctant to restart that firestorm) but did no harm and it was somewhat laughable how quickly Nyttend's actions were reversed. YM blocked someone who didn't know how to appeal it and the person

8820:

I do not think that would work (unless the logos are all partially obscured or the memorabilia are arrayed such that the logos are partially shown). Just like one cannot claim a photograph whose subject is clearly a copyrighted book cover is free of the subject's copyright (derivative work and all),

7165:

with that question, but I read 1e stability as meaning no edit wars, the article is not constantly in flux. In practice I see it as saying that it has an editor or group of editors keeping it stable. I know you have ambitions for the article, and I'm content to kibitz from the sidelines and keep an

6606:

I agree it should be named to the bio and not the event, and should clarify that the issue at Natalee Holloway was not the naming as a bio, but that Wehwalt & Co refused to expand it to be a full bio even though it was named as a bio (in other words, it didn't make sense to name it as a bio while

Thanks - I'll see what I can do with the nickel images on Flickr - I need to verify that the user(s) own rights before I ask for release. I'll get the dollar scanned by the weekend - that should be okay. Hopefully you (or I) can get some images released of the nickel. By any chance, maybe there could

11315:

It may need a little pruning afterwards, but I'm hoping to get it under 100K. I am hoping to finish tomorrow, then comes polish, polish polish, send it for peer review, and send it to FAC. I think it will be OK but it is necessarily repetitive. Yes, please do check my stuff, I am prone to errors,

11150:

Sure. And if you are too busy to look at it, then no worries. I think it is fine to go as is, but I am happy to get more input whenever I can to improve an article. Plus, this will give me a little more time to figure out this issue with Kamo. Thanks again for all of your help on this article. I

Incidentally, before the Nixon Library came up with that, I was going to have them make a copy of a home video by H.R. Haldeman of all people, he was an amateur videographer, and had a Super-8 camera he took to the Inauguration. (There's a photo, I think by Ollie Atkins, of Haldeman filming, though

9365:

On the communication issue, I agree. Complete absence of response is problematic, even if it is, "I think I'm right, go away", which is at least something. Hat in ring, no. Too much of a distraction from what I consider important here. Of course, if the belligerents bring down the whole system, then

again? My personal opinion is that if the logo loses the airplane silhouette at the top, it might qualify. As of now, there is that little shadow of a plane (not a simple triangle) capping the word, insinuating the imagery of a non-propeller aircraft to the term (Jet), possibly qualifying in terms

8255:

Hi Wehwalt. Sorry to bother you again, but I am trying something new on the Shooting Thaler article and I wondered if it is acceptable or not. I think it would be a good idea to include a description of each design since that could very well be of interest to the average reader. I wasn't sure how to

8153:

Many thanks for removing the tag and for the offer to help with references! From what I've seen on other articles, references must be from online sources. Most of my information is from books, but I'll check the internet for references. Can I use privately owned websites or does the information have

7632:

I have a plan for this article, and I think it is going to be good (NOT fishing for a complement). Sometimes you can just see it in your head, and there is enough material there to work with. Only problem is images, there are not going to be any directly related free use images that I see (I doubt

7296:

I know nothing about the original photographs. I will be at the Nixon Library again on Tuesday, I will consult with the archivists there, but I've looked through all the 1950 campaign materials and didn't see that. I think we can safely assume that the photograph was taken for the campaign's use.

6462:

The issues that "you know it if you see it" brings up leave me very uncomfortable and only allow individuals to interpret issues to their liking, despite the weight sources give. The consensus method of deciding these issues introduces factors that have no place in determining article names, such as

4466:

Homer, you're looking like a bit of a dummy right now :); I'm very actively involved with the volcanoes project and am on track and being tracked with what it is going on there. I'm simply being thorough, as FACs tend to become rapid frenzied acts of desperation right near the end of the nomination.

2388:

Well, I hope you had a good time and that the server clears up. Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. I am off to California tomorrow night and the Nixon Library is expecting me for three days of research, and I will probably spend at least a half a day at the Reagan Library looking at

1081:

It's a fine line—personally, I'd be fine with "can I have your advice on whether this draft is acceptable as a blurb?" or "how many points would this get?", but I think the current use as a holding pen is veering close to gaming the system. Maybe cut the archive time for the talkpage way down (seven

799:

Yeah, I would have rather had September 1, since it is the 252nd anniversary, but it would have put me up against a well-supported article, plus I would have lost points for being too close to the Tulsa article. Oh well. Right now, I am running unopposed, you could say, for September 10, just with

The image on Scalia has drawn some comment. Do you think you could make some requests for people to release their Flickr images of the Shield nickel? I found some there. Also a Bicentennial dollar or the reverse side of the Franklin half dollar both show the Liberty Bell. I have requested one of

I'm afraid Fasach Nua has a very individual way of putting things sometimes! He will either strike his oppose on image grounds or it will be disregarded as the suspect images are no longer there. Basically the complaint was that that none of the non-free images added to the reader's understanding

Finding them free of copyright, in their playing/coaching days is the problem. I have never collected Jets memorabilia, but a hasty search through my kitchen cabinets found a coffee mug and glass with the 1978-97 logo, and the old gas station glasses with the original Jets logo. I will check with

which is ready to go, and we'll touch base again when the community has weighed in. I have a right to be very pissed off about those comments. I would prefer not to post diffs, since 100+ people watch this talk page (one reason I didn't post at yours, btw). I would prefer, however, not to make a

9423:

Hi, thanks for the thought. You will note that there is already a section on Scalia's views on criminal law, including the death penalty. I'm willing to discuss adding another quote to that, so long as it was by someone who is looked on as a legal authority. Adding a whole section is unwarranted

8100:

Also, if you think the coverage of U.S. coins is poor, take a look at how various world coins are covered. I'll admit that information on world coin series can be hard to come by in the U.S., but many series aren't covered at all. I created an article on Swiss shooting thalers back in February, but

7020:

They don't, of course, but by that logic, we'd be linking everything, which would be a bad idea IMHO. Feel free. I am assertive about keeping standards up on articles I've helped out on, because it is too easy for an article to die the death of a thousand minor edits and wind up no longer meeting

4015:

Thanks. Not quite, I have to do the 1933 section, then the reuse on the later bullion coins, and I need to do a table with mintages. I also have a great description of Roosevelt when he's describing the difficulties of getting the coins done, and I want to wrk that in. It will be done except for

3272:

ooooh, gotcha! OK, let me see what I can do. I have an email reply into my Newtown History Center contact, so I might get an exact answer, so I might hold off updating until tomorrow. No sense updating twice or I might update it now and tinker tomorrow, I will think it out in Sandbox and let you

2104:

I've seen it. Better to let it go, Elcobbola said it would be unethical. I don't need the picture that badly, although I am sad at losing it, it looked like he was glaring right at Caroline. Yeah, I can squeeze in the dollar I think, though I might have to put it in the see also or something. I

290:

I suppose it is possible, but there are resources I can exhaust before that. I do not want to buy any Shield nickels, they are not cheap and I do not want to own any. There is a Yahoo groups on Shield Nickels, there is the guy I mentioned, there is a coin dealer I know although he deals more with

10910:

Reception could use another paragraph if it is views of the operas later than 1920 or so. I don't think we need another paragraph of first night reviews. Maybe the views of the authors of the books we have on Puccini, assuming they expressed any? I'm sure Burton Fisher has something nice to say

9298:

I'm sure you're aware that one doesn't have the time or inclination to comment on each situation that surfaces on wiki. I simply wanted to understand your position on how to handle various alleged wiki-offenders, since your dispute resolution skills seem an apt topic of discussion this fall. If an

If it was the glass among various items or as part of the imagery, or if the purpose of the image was to illustrate the utilitarian object, then it would be an unqualified yes. However, if the purpose was to use the glass to show off the logo, the intent would be to avoid copyright concerns; such

I also have a copy of the statement the Nixon people issued at Deshler (they spelled it Deschler). Not a verbatim transcript, but it says that Nixon will cover the points mentioned in the statement in the speech. It's about how in the 45 minutes it took to travel from the last stop to Deshler, x

7035:

I've been accused of being rule-oriented. My rule of thumb is to wikilink the first instance of a subject in each section of an article. That way I don't have to interpret what the phrase "long way" means. Unfortunately - or fortunately depending on your viewpoint - Knowledge's policies, which I'm

6517:

IAR for me is generally limited to decisions made by individual editors. That consensus is somehow determined on IAR or "know it when you see it" means that multiple editors have no idea what the guidelines mean, or they're clueless as a group. I could IAR and just move the page myself, although I

6364:

This actually came up at Alice Ayres's FAC. I'm totally opposed to renaming "people who are famous for dying" to "Death of…"—we have more articles of this nature than most people realise, and it would be a massive change which would need to be decided by a large-scale RFC, not a talkpage chat. (If

6184:

Ok, well I have expanded it a lot more and fixed up/formatted a bunch of the references. The story is very interesting and extends for decades as the dam was expanded. It has definitely become more of a "cake" and less of a "cookie". The more I read about it, the more interesting stuff goes in the

3768:

Thanks for the praise, that FAC went very well and quietly. Regarding Macdonald, I think so. From what I've read of him in Bliss's book on the Prime MInisters, he is an interesting character. Especially with Raul putting the Election article up right now, you'll be short come Canada Day if I do

11343:

Oh, good. I am planning to go against the Texans in a couple of weeks, but that is uncertain. It would be the first daytime game I've been to. After two decades of squinting into the sun, I had them put me on the side where the sun is behind you. But perhaps the point is that we have little to

9533:

The thing is, we are not about stopping the show. I think what you want is not out of line, though I will probably rephrase (the "death row inmate for the 1989 murder") is a little too strained and we do have to say he's convicted. We need a source for Scalia's statement, we will not do it as a

9384:

It looks like frustration, frankly, understandable, but if you do something out of frustration as an admin and are called on the carpet, just deal with it and get it out of the way, jeez. Ditto, though I am getting emails urging me to run. There will come a time when I am tired of writing, that

8081:

and I started work on it in one of my sandboxes, but I eventually felt that it wasn't worth the effort for the few readers who would seek to sort by mintage. I really did the three FA coin articles as a way of giving the community a model to follow, but I've seen little interest in improving the

7228:

You have a point there, so I will consult a neutral admin. I didn't take it to DRV as I was working on other things off-Wiki, talking to a friend and working on the Stephens City talk page last night and have been pretty well zonked all day today. I am really trying to work it out with VegaDark

7005:

My only quibble is your assumption that everyone reads the article from top to bottom. Some readers might skip to this section and not see the earlier section where Ginsburg is first mentioned. Either way, it's a small point. I'll leave it the way it is for the present. If it bothers me enough so

6477:

The trouble is, as long as IAR remains, "you know it when you see it" is always going to have a place, and no naming guideline will ever cover all circumstances. (All those Brill Tramway articles are named with complete disregard for the station naming guidelines, for example.) Personally I'd say

4495:

as a GA, FA, and TFA. Each process was as frenzied as the last, just as Wehwalt...he was my mentor along the way. He probably grows a gray hair at the mention of the words "Stephens City". :) (Kidding Wehwalt) But if anyone can help you, he can or can direct you to an editor/reviewer who knows

4154:

I thought it was handled better when it was more vague about the war of words. The way it is now, it looks even more damaging to the women in the case, which I'm sure was not the IP's intention at all (speaking of "COI"). One dilemma with that story is the attempt to kind of elevate those kids to

9385:

will be the time it is time to go do stuff on arbcom. I think looking at the list, 8 or 9 should get 50 percent, that's enough, Arbcom can function with 15 arbs, though I still feel there should be a "by election" every year when the functionary election occurs and we have SecureVote fired up.--

9350:

That is true. Despite YM's point about only being on briefly, a note "Will address this when more time" would have been ample. An administrator has certain obligations, taking the job, one of them is communication. YM did let down the side on this one. No one is interested in having anything

6450:

I'm not sure it's something that can (or should) be formalized—it seems to be one of those "you know it if you see it" things. My test (which I think is fairly similar to Malleus's below, only expressed in different terms) would be "would the event have potentially ended differently if different

I'll take a look at it anyway and we'll see. I have no objection to doing a few articles in an area. I just don't want to be stamping out cookiecutter articles. I have to take my computer to the Apple store for a problem with the DVD reader and they may keep it for a couple of days, so I will

3539:

I am not sure if I fully understand Did you mean talk pages should not be protected! In that case I agree. I was asking to place a protection on users' pages. I asked for that and luckily you have positively responded. The reason is I do not wish to worry that someone might tamper with it. It is

10088:

Sorry, what's a delicate post and what comments are you "pissed off" about, and how do those comments relate to FAC? It's a simple question: do you want me to re-open both of them, if so, I'd like to know before GimmeBot goes through, and have him on hold. I'd love to be able to waive the two

9466:

In August, 2009, the Supreme Court ordered a federal trial court in Georgia to consider the case of Troy Davis, a death row inmate for the 1989 murder of an off-duty police officer. The case attracted international attention, and 27 former prosecutors and judges had filed a brief supporting Mr.

9454:

Its hard to balance opinions of legal authorities - I did not find concurring opinions in a scan of a few Google's worth of pages. Everyone I read was shocked by his statement (even Alan Dershowitz remained relatively silent). Since criticisms of his statement cannot be balanced (pro/con), its

At least it gives us a backstop. Look, I went to the Independence Nat;'l Historic Park library in Philadelphia today and I have some images. They are mostly prints on 8 1/2 by 11 that I photographed, the paper has the confirmation that these are federal government shots. I doubt if they are

10125:

Ah, I'm surprised that you say you were "pissed off" about those comments, when all I was linking to words you had written in response to your referring to Natalee Holloway as a dead horse; I have long known your POV on Holloway, and despite this, I respect consensus and promote your articles

I'm sure you will be up for the deathwatch ... Mine ended at 5 am and the crat was a bit slow. I was up, watching as two last minute opposes pushed me into the discretionary zone. Nixon library tomorrow and Thursday, hoping to do Reagan on Friday, but spending time with friends out here has

You both posted at the same time (creepy! :)) and he said since it could be considered favoritism (since some were removed and not others) to go ahead and relink the three. I offered up an branch (since it was a tad tense) and said if he sees any other information, to feel free to tinker. -

11474:

While it would be nice to have some photos, at this point it's just a mere luxury so as you said, it isn't a huge deal and we certainly don't need to be running around trying to kill ourselves searching for this stuff either. There were only a few things I found wrong when I did my original

6518:

wrote most of it and consensus determined (without all the relevant facts) that it should be named something different. Which would cost me more mounds of shit? An RfC or just moving it myself? Is there something I'm not anticipating, something negative that I'm not foreseeing about this? --

9944:

A little bit, I'm afraid. I am so easygoing most of the time people are surprised when I've had enough and make that clear, but I tend to feel bad afterwards. This too will pass. Yes, I could not say you had agreed to do the copyedit, but only to look it over, because that is what you

I used to be friends with them, they dropped me without a word. When I happened to be backstage at the same festival as they were in July, I turned my back on them, not sure they saw me, were glad to see they were moving their own equipment, that generally means a band is not doing

257:, the front of that would be useful. I need to search Google books for travel photos of the Liberty Bell, I will do that tomorrow as well, though I like the one of the chief. Yeah, if you can manage the dollar, that would be cool although the article will survive without it.-- 10992:

I was undecided, but the long characterization of medical marijuana (which personally I'm in favor of btw) decided me. It's not just a commerce clause issue, it is also a supremacy clause issue, and that's ignored to make a point. Thanks for the cleanup and hope you continue

5914:

I don't see them at FAC. I don't have time to deal with them now, but will look them over later in the day I was approached a while back by the editor of Brezhnev, but could give him little help. I really don't have a great interest in the Soviet Union beyond my friend

231:

Yeah, I wasn't too sure on the Scalia image - do discuss it and achieve consensus. Could you link me to the shield nickel images on Flickr? Like I said, I can scan a Liberty Bell dollar - but probably not until the weekend. BTW, how's the new image of the Bell I uploaded?

11555:

Well, I'm working on winning back our reviewers. I do have a Johnny Walker Red aluminum medal with the Jets schedule from 1973 on one side and the JWR logo on the other. It is possible I could sell that as an image in that there is nothing copyrightable on the schedule

9672:

That's the first time I've seen that one. Maybe I'll transfer the Washington quarter data to a new article since the series is long enough for that. Shorter series such as Franklin half dollars could probably be combined with Walking Liberty or Kennedy types. What do you

9444:

I believe (IMHO) that the Scalia's quote should be enough (if you also agree). The New York Times article offered a succinct history/statement of the facts, so it would probably offer a beneficial context for wiki readers. So I'd like to see you add it also (or OK the

No, I couldn't get up to Simi Valley. I will be looking at the Sheridan Downey papers on Tuesday at Cal Berkeley, am hoping for mere there. He was the senator before Nixon. I have more images coming, still working them in. I will be back in October and will bring a

7667:

OK, I will work on that. I really haven't looked much at the actors's articles, except to check on disambig. I'm pretty much done for the day, going to a hockey game in a bit. There's a PD image of Rodgers in his article, and we could nab one from the St. James's

3403:

I think I will go this way for the moment and if my Newtown History Center contact tells me different information, I can always change it. This will, though, have two sources, so no worries on OR or anything. Have fun in CA. Take lots of pictures and stuff. :) -

11596:

I noticed that wait period; I'll make sure to get right on it. Yes, this game is going to be a big one especially now with Leonhard shelved for the season, it looks like the Jets will have to change up the gameplan a bit. Hopefully it will all work out though! --

I believe mintages has to be in there; fortunately neither series is very long! Wikicoding is not my strong suit and I just took whatever was there and modified it slightly. I think what is there now is fine. I did not look at how it looked before you did your

Oops.. sorry, I've been extremely busy. Yes I've looked at the metadata but there's nothing there. It's blank. And the picture quality on the images he uploaded are all over the place. And about the investigation report, I really don't know whats going on. --

I don't think I've seen sortable columns before. They're pretty nifty, but I don't think they would be worth the extra effort for coin articles. I'm going to do a little bit of work on the Washington quarter article using the model provided for the U.S. coin

Thank you very much for looking at it. I am more interested in getting an reasonable interpretation of the copyright and having a resolution rather than keeping the picture itself as I surmise this will be looked at if the article is submitted for GA review.

I don't care much for the mintage figures in articles either, but it does seem like useful information for researchers. Perhaps seperate articles can be made for mintage figures. It might be best to create one article for each denomination rather than each

Nice - last time I had a bit of last minute support/opposes last time - it was another late ending one - took a bit long for a close, it was closed while I was sleeping. BTW, are you at the Nixon library for info for an upcoming FAC, or just images?

6990:

Yes, I do. Anyone who gets that far in the article isn't going to be unfamiliar with who Ginsburg is, and the single link should be fine. If you put it back, I won't take it out again, but i just don't feel it's needed. Not all links are the

I do have the books for Ruddigore but I just have gotten so caught up in other things. There is a long spell next month when I am hoping to catch up on a few things, and I will do my best then. I even have a book on Victorian melodrama as you

Stephens City Newsletter says October, while I have always had September and Newtown History Center just says "chartered in 1758". Should I just stick with the two sentences above and drop the founding date on the infobox or keep diggin'? -

The Liberty Bell. The ones I got shows a ranger giving a talk about it while it was in Independence Hall in the early 1950s, plus a couple of older shots that are demonstrably PD. I think about five or six shots in all. I did my best.

4030:

Thinking about the images again, we could also probably email the Mint to send confirmation that those images are owned by them - they're way better than anything I can find, really (the ones on Flickr are pretty low-res, but I'll try).

I have 32 FAs, so I guess I qualify. I am always happy to answer questions. There are a number of people who frequent this talk page and who I like to think I help out, so please feel free to watchlist, ask questions, and join in the

Surprising that no one has written a quality article on US coins then, and left it all for me. Still, there are good possibilities here. There have only been four different nickels, so that is an easy featured topic if I care to do

I'm not much of an admin, most of my time is spent creating content. You do what you can, though, and perhaps I caught the right moment when everyone was ready to calm down. All's well that doesn't end in a mushroom cloud, say I.

2547:

Ah, but you are writing articles of major importance while I dally with pieces of scrap metal. I am a bit too tired from jet lag to do it intelligently, but I will do it Monday at latest. And I ate something I shouldn't have, long

961:

No, it is fine. When I clicked on the image, it showed up with the picture. It looks great in the infobox, though. This will probably be my last British Royalty article for a while, can't think of anyone else I really want to do

3315:: Let me know how this sounds "Lewis Stephens petitioned the colonial government of Virginia in Williamsburg for a town charter on September 1, 1758. The Virginia General Assembly approved the Town’s Charter on October 12, 1758." 1480:

I've got the images, one obverse, one of each of the reverses, close up of open and close 3 (perhaps you can combine the two into one image when I upload them) but I will wait until I get the license and forward it to OTRS before

Hi Wehwalt, and thanks for responding so quickly. I agree that mintage numbers should be included, but I do think that lists that are not organized within columns are unwieldy. For an example that still remains on Knowledge, see

Nice. I am still trying to get something hard-copy; I guess looking in a library in Japan isn't a good place. Well, I started a discussion on the article's talk page regarding deficiencies and the push to get it to FA. See you

9915:

I'll look at it, if you read below you will understand I am in no great mood for it, but the nettle had to be grasped and the blister burst sooner or later. If you decide to do it, it might not be a bad idea to let Karanacs

1433:

OK, I will do it in the morning. Charlotte is basically done, though I need to go through it in detail and work on the images and the lede. With White Shadows distracted by his FAC, I will go on and do Liberty Head Nickel

1979:

Sure if you like. Sorry if I was irritated before, there is a long history with this article and we are somewhat defensive about it, in both senses of the word. I will take a look at the article, but it may take me a few

11370:

True. If we can at least find a picture of Namath, Ewbank and even the Sack Exchange, that would be better than nothing at all for pre-2000. In regards to the article, sounds good and I'll make sure to look it over. --

10431:

Both articles haven't been edited in months, save for persondata-housecleaning and the like. I should think it would be safe to do a history merge. ;) Oh, and the only reason I noticed the duplication was because of

5184:

Wow, that's a broad question! I can't guarantee what reviewers may find; if I could predict that, I'd have an easier time at FAC. I'll take a look at the article over the next couple of days and will see what I can

11286:

Likely GA quality! Sweet! Well, I have to wait for BorisG to add some citations, but after that is done, I will make it live. If you want to give it a brief look again, to see the revisions, it would be appreciated.

8460:

No, I have no follower, spending too much time on research (I am in the reading room of the Nixon Library as we speak). Around Nov 10 sounds good, I will be back from California by then. My next "wave" of articles

3293:

I'll probably be online, I am in California and going to the Nixon Library tomorrow. But I would wait until you have the information. I have the same urge to get things done right here right now, but patience is a

No problem, it probably needs a good copyedit - I've been using a couple redundant words a lot. I was pretty surprised that there is a biography on him - most Edmonton politicians just have a 5 sentence write up...

11527:

After reviewing it once more, I did not find anything that was out of place so I think we're good in that department. I also checked everything out when I was updating the refs too and I didn't find any issues. --

I agree, then. The logic of it is that the reader will search for the name, not the event. I'd like to put an end to the interminable name discussions at Holloway by making the guidelines clearer, so you have my

5900:

I will look at both of them. I would not expect the articles to be 120,000 behemoths as my K. article was, but they should be substantial, especially given Brezhnev's long career at the top (possibly stuffed?)--

10327:

OK, I need tonight to rest and catch up (I just got home from a driving trip about equivalent to Land's End to John o'Groats and return) and will make a start in the morning. I will also find time to review

8204:

Let me know when you are done and I will look it over. Please feel very free to ask questions here. I do not bite people's heads off. Well, not often. If I do not know the answer, I probably know who to

7502:

Apparently not, I found an image too. I'm still working on a good arrangement for them, but she appears to be dressed appropriately for the winter cold. Unlike everyone else. Hit refresh on the article.--

1658:

I noticed the date, but I'm pretty unaware of the rarity :) - another thing - when you get to Wilson again, could you maybe do alt text for the images? I know it's not a requirement, but it's good to have.

8157:

I had no idea that there isn't an article for an entire series of U.S. coins! I used to think that the U.S. numismatic situation on Knowledge needed to be improved, but some of it hasn't even been created

784:

Sure. No problem. As for the TFA, yes it may be replaced, but you can always renom it when there is a vacancy. Since you can't have Sept 1, and don't really care when it runs, I can't see it makes much

248:

Oooh, that is nice. I just got back to my hotel from the football game and am just cleaning up some stuff before going to bed, I will be home tomorrow afternoon. Well done on that. I just ran a search

11496:

Perhaps check the ones from newspapers and the like, just double check that everything we say in the article really is in that source. I skimped on this, but I think we are OK in the Year in Review ones

8356:

Well, just to make sure we are in maximum trouble, I'll do it to the arbs and you do it to FAC. Unfortunately, an iPhone is too damn useful. But that one-touch rollback is a pain, it need not appear on

11028: 1062:

I had noticed that, but it hadn't yet reached the point with me where I was prepared to do something about it. We could propose that no draft blurbs be posted on talk but allow the existing threads to

Dief article that had bothered me when writing it because I couldn't think of any other way of putting it than the way the author did. I went back and changed it even though it is not as effective.--

5082:

I have to confess I feel like reading a FAC's sources, check the FAC list for what's unreviewed in that domain, and find something in Pop Culture or Sciences and feel like I'd be less than useful.

5203:

like the article overly relies on the site based on the number of citations but I have them in there only for the sake of having citations to the website for each U-boat. I'm I making sense here?--

8495:

Some time, tell me the secret of being able to work on a "wave" of articles – I'm strictly one at a time, myself. Anything else makes my head spin (what was it that LBJ said about Gerald Ford?)

5620:

Thanks. I've been reading my Macdonald books and you will probably see edits today or tomorrow. It is a complicated subject but he is well studied so I don't think it will be that difficult.--

5015:

Thanks. Incidentally, I see that the "shabby little shocker" comment (from the entirely unknown and disreputable so-called critic Joseph Whatsisname) was on front page as a DYK on 19 September.

10375:

Yes, sorry, I will review at FAC then. I've been doing some intense reading of the Puccini bios and seeing what I can find about Gianni. It is not covered in the same detail as Tosca, alas.--

9788:

wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving and hopes your day is full of good times, good food, good family, good football, a good parade and a good nap...then shopping tomorrow. :) Have a Great Day! :)

9284:

Actually, you raise an interesting point indirectly: Where are the sponsors of Nyttend's RfC? Why aren't they coming out to comment about YM? Perhaps I should post to the RfC's talk page.--

664:

That's another goodie, thanks. The Liberty Bell is one of those objects that is just amazing the way all these people are just staring at it. They are all looking at it, not at Ranger Bob.--

10417:

Yes, you can do a history merge. I would suggest leaving notes on the pages advocating this, and then wait a couple of days and if there is no objection, I would be happy to do it for you.--

7863:

Perhaps this one took it to an extreme. While there was some rational debate in this campaign (tidelands oil, Taft-Hartley, reclamation issues) most of it was very much lost in the noise.--

Well, the world is large. Except for that one time in Dallas i mentioned, I don't bother them and they don't bother me. I didn't even watch their set in Dallas. Thanks for the comment.--

11080:

Go ahead and mess with it directly. I am sure that would be easier and I trust your editing (plus it's going to be messed with others once it goes live anyway). Thank you for your help!

9548:

I looked at it on a Lexis/Nexis page. I think his statement needs context. Perhaps add the final two sentences of his opinion? And mention he was joined by Justice Thomas, of course.--

6969:

I tend to avoid such broad articles, no one is ever satisfied with them. But I will get to Ruddigore. I agree, so many articles, so little time, and I find it hard to edit sometimes.--

3019:

Pretty much, but we need an image of the "No cents" reverse on the Liberty Head. Plenty of time though, and as I said I have one on order, they are not expensive as they were hoarded.

10265:

I appreciate your flexibility. I hope your other FA project is going well. Are you sure that you don't want to get the little GA green + on this article? I like it so much. :-) --

9977:

Nice little movie, good main page choice for 20 January. The trouble with main page now is that, if one of my FAs is chosen and it's more than a few months old, I find myself checking

8963:

It's done up to confederation, hoping to complete it next week. Hope all is well. I will be in Ontario and Quebec next weekend, I know a good bookstore in London if I need anything.--

5051:

Yes, I'll do the coin thing. Trouble is, my co-reviewers of FAC sources have all disappeared and I'm struggling to keep up, but to review an actual article will be a pleasant change.

3554:

I do not think user talk pages should be semiprotected as even IPs need a way to get in touch with you. Your user page, I am OK with protecting, though I know some differ on that.--

I looked it over and I really don't have anything to add. Commons consensus doesn't really seem to be a vote anyway, they will go with the better argument regardless of the vote.--

I'm actually attending the Jets-Patriots game in Foxboro in December so hopefully I'll be able to get some decent shots of the players. I'll be right above the visitors tunnel. --

9930:

Oh dear. I fully understand if you are distracted at present, that's fine. I assume "If I decide to do it" refers to the Jets copyedit. When I start I'll drop a note to Karanacs.

2231:

I'll give it a proofread, then GA nom it, I guess it wouldn't hurt - I'd say it's pretty comprehensive- I think I've got pretty much everything of note covered on him - we'll see.

8040:

I may move on to do other numismatic articles, but I hate stamping out cookiecutter articles and so will wait for a while, I have much to keep me busy. Thanks for the comments.--

3097:

Thanks for the praise and help, let me know when I can lend a hand with yours. I figure if I can satisfy this first commentator on Shield nickel, the rest will fall into place.--

10578:

Yes, I've considered doing the Attlee article. He was all right, it was some of is underlings, most of which seemed to have very similar names. Which are not used for Sweden.--

7187: 3224:

Virginia colonial law is a mystery to me, but my guess is that it needed the signature of the Governor or Lieutenant Governor to effect it. I would suggest fudging the point.--

Is that OK? I do not have any references on Newfoundland coins, though I am working to try to get the US coin articles a bit better written and am looking at FA for a couple.--

10932:

Another editor did a lot of work contacting Brown's office, is there any chance those involved in the article could contact Manchin's? Good to see you back. Winter break?--

10067:

It's a delicate post, Sandy, sorry, it took a lot of rewriting! Let's do this. Leave them as they are and waive the waiting period, that is, have no objection to me nomming

8115:

Tag removed. Yes, I agree, even UK coins are poorly covered. You should add references to your article. If you have questions about how to do it, I will be happy to help.--

2088:

I'll perform the crop that Elcobbola suggested at the Charlotte article, also if you haven't seen. Also, I've scanned the Liberty bell Eisenhower dollar - still interested?

10726: 7739: 5487:

Yeah, have a lot more images on my camera, including a painting of Macdonald at the Dief Centre. I will work on uploading them. No sign of the CDRom from Saskatoon yet.--

3934:

You need a seconder who has tried to resolve the differences, anyway, and I don't think I fall into that category, I think, even though I am not that familiar with RFC/U.--

6881:

I don't think I would be rude to them. But I am not a fan of theirs anymore, don't go to shows, and don't plan on buying the CD. Oh, don't listen to the music anymore.--

4390:

Well, for the reasons I stated, the article lacks a high priority with me. Still, I will look at replacing the quote with the unexpurgated version when I get a chance.--

1725:

I don't think a lede has to be 1/5 as long as the article, that sounds awfully high to me, but I've expanded it somewhat. See if he'll take it, if not I'll go back in.--

6624:

Sandy, I know music makers, and they try to make new CDs every couple of years. You've been singing the Natalee Holloway blues for longer than that. Time to move on.--

11272:

It is more than ready for mainspace, I agree. You do not have to wait for me or BorisG to give it another runthrough. I would say it is very likely GA quality, btw.--

6436:

Are you suggesting I start an RfC, or a discussion at the Village Pump or WP:N (people) first? Would you have anything to add to the clarifications in bullets above? --

5996:

Thanks :) I've got quite a few sources built up over the year on him. The American Civil War section will be a piece of cake though I may end up adding too much info!--

What have you got up next? Anything I can do, as always? I've been a bit busy in the past couple days - but I'm going to try to maintain a good amount of activity.

Well, that is good. Short of waylaying him outside the court building, I was at my wits end for more images, pending the swearing in of Justice Kagan next month.--

6721: 1872:

Nothing. You hope no one replaces it. I do this routinely, sorry. If it is bumped, you can bring it back any time there is a vacancy or a lower point article.--

1206:

Thanks - the article will probably, though, end up being a bit skimpy - there's not too much on the man, but it'll be comprehensive. Hopefully I can get it to GA.

I'll take a look. I am no longer adding mintage tables to coin articles, but I do have those first three. I deleted the obvious copyvio in the Yeoman article.--

Finally, the Justice's position ts more than encyclopedic - its a show stopper. Wiki is performing a great service to its readers by providing the information.

My first draft is done - could you maybe historymerge it with the article in the mainspace, and maybe look into a copyedit in the near future? Thanks again.

Neener, neener :) :) I did it to the arbs, you did it at FA!! I cannot for the life of me figure out how to edit on BB-- that's probably A Good Thing :/

I saw no original photographs in the files. I do not think that number has to do with the the photographer, I think it is to show it was union-printed. --

Also, do you mind if I mess around with the infobox image? The present one is a nice one, but IMO it should be one of him in his later years - I'll look.

Butting in, I don't know where you should start with this either, probably the Village Pump I'd have thought, but some cases are clearer than others.

6064:

It was unsourced. I played with it and put the same information in, in a rewritten form, if you look at the article. Many thanks for the heads up.--
