List of Nobel Laureates in Literature[edit]

Another Nobel laureates list. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 00:50, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Restart", nothing negative, but not enough to reach consensus

Wow, I have only read books by two of those authors (Lord of the Flies by William Golding and several of Winston Churchill's books, although I have read some of the poems by Kipling and Yeats). Anyway, I would have preferred that you wait until the Chemistry one was finished, because some of the kinks in it are still being worked out. -- Scorpion0422 01:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the concerns appear as if they have been addressed. The image issue looks like the only one that's remaining, and I'm fairly confident I can address any issues that come up. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 01:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments I copyedited the article and left some inline comments. Gary King (talk) 02:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As an article, good work. The only issue I found was a hyphen used in a year range, which I changed to an en dash. However, I cannot support until the images have been checked. As an example Image:T-mommsen-2.jpg has a deprecated tag. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced that particular image, and I'll try to find an image reviewer. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 02:39, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Sources look good. It'd be nice if the entire article didn't rely on one source, however. Cheers, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Have you gone through and made sure that all of the nationalities match the Nobel website? Random users tend to change them, so if you haven't, you probably should. -- Scorpion0422 01:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What is the status on the images? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eco told me that he would do the images a while ago, but he's been busy. I've asked him again here, and I'm awaiting a response. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 03:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried contacting David Fuchs for an image check? Dabomb87 (talk) 00:49, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did so. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 02:16, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 20:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's it for that batch. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, a bad idea. So many of the images of the supposedly "free" images on Commons have bad sources and assertions of permission (PD 70+ being the most common for our case) that it's hard to find a good image. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 00:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Grrr when checking the articles of the guys without images, about half of them did have an image there. Why isn't it here too? Nergaal (talk) 00:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Because the sources/permissions are bad or nonexistent. They're not used for a reason. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 02:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Images, Part II:

--Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 21:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it for that bunch. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 19:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Part III:

  • Image:Russell1907-2.jpg - since we don't have the author and it wasn't from 1730 or something, I don't think the PD-Art tag can apply.

All other images check out. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 20:17, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think that's it for that batch. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 01:37, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I think that the images all meet criteria now. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 03:01, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support My issues have been resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I'd like to see it featured. Irregulargalaxies (talk) 03:18, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
