A messy situation
I'm not sure whether you are aware that a recent DYK Did you know nominations/Howe Street Stairs has played a role in some messy discussions including a one month block User_talk:LavaBaron and a proposed topic ban Administrators%27_noticeboard.

I'm trying to look into the background to see if I can sort out what's going on.

I do need to share with you that I'm troubled by the approval of the DYK. If I read the history correctly this version was tentatively approved subject to the need to increase length. As has been subsequently pointed out, this version includes the claim that the stairway is 1.3 miles long and was covered in under two minutes, a feat that is obviously impossible. There were issues regarding how long the staircase was (not mentioned is the puzzling fact that staircases are usually measured in steps or height not length) and it has been noted that the source for the time is a self published source.

I'm aware that there have been concerns about the DYK process and the possibility that inadequate vetting is taking place. While it is obviously easier to identify some of these things after the fact, I do have some concerns that this review missed some things, which have led to some very unfortunate follow-on situations.

I wanted to make sure you knew about this in case you felt you should weigh in.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  13:58, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response - which hit home to me. I sometimes joke that my gut is very good to me - I sometimes take an action that doesn't match my gut feel, and it often goes badly, so I have taken to listening more closely to my gut. I still ignore it on occasion, and often regret it. I don't know how long you've been involved in DYK, so you may or may not know that there was quite a blow up a couple years ago over some DYKs that should not have been accepted. If this seems like a mountain out of a molehill, the backstory is relevant.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  16:50, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Bob
Thanks for the reply on the GA assessment. I don't know what is the exact standard used for eligibility for short articles as GA. Like I said in the review, it is not the quality of the article per sé that is the issue. The thing is that imho it would be better if there becomes more data available on this mineral to expand the article to a larger size. I like your work and focus to get "all the available information" into the article, just like I do myself with Muisca bitaeniata (only 1 specimen found and described in 1844, I uploaded the free image, but there is not much more to write about this beetle), Chibafruime (all available information, which is not much, included) and Nompanim for instance. But also for those articles, I don't know if they would be eligible as GA. I would like to ask for a second opinion on Widgiemoolthalite, just to have another pair of eyes looking at it. If the suggested changes are made and the second reviewer also thinks it's up for GA, you have my support too. All the best, Tisquesusa (talk) 15:02, 10 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, I finally finished revisions to the widgiemoolthalite page. I'll nominate it for a second opinion so we can have somebody else give their two cents about whether it's broad and focused enough to be considered a GA, even with its relatively short length.

 * Hi, and thanks for thinking of me! I'd be happy to help work on Poughkeepsie-related articles. My work with Poughkeepsie topics was mostly centered around Vassar College, where I studied. Having recently graduated and moved away, I've lost access to the wealth of of sources offered by Vassar's library collections but I am happy to help in whatever ways I can. Please feel free to take the lead and delegate: improving, say, the Culture section of the City of Poughkeepsie article is going to be a more manageable task for me than for us both to concurrently attempt to improve the entire article all at once.

Chekhov in 12 volumes. Khudozhestvennaya Literatura. Moscow, 1960. Vol. 7, and - The Collected Works by A.P. Chekhov in 30 volumes. Nauka Publishers. Moscow, 1985.Vol.8.

List of Hennepin County Libraries
Hi ! I saw you have a draft, User:Bobamnertiopsis/List of Hennepin County Libraries, that hasn't been updated in a while. I'd be interested in helping getting this to the mainspace, if you're willing to work with me.

It looks like the current version is specifically for branches of the Hennepin County Library system. Thoughts on changing it to be "List of libraries in Hennepin County" and including other libraries like the Quatrefoil Library? Or at least having a section entitled "Other libraries in Hennepin County"? We may find more at Category:Libraries in Minnesota. = paul2520 (talk) 16:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey,, thanks for noticing that! I really haven't been especially active on either of my longstanding drafts of buildings but would love to get them out of the userspace and into the articlespace where they'll actually be useful.


 * In its current conception, the article is specifically about branches of the Hennepin County Library system, a la List of New York Public Library branches or List of Queens Library branches but there's definitely room in the See also for non-HCL libraries within the county which could include Quatrefoil plus university libraries I guess?


 * In any case, I'd love your help to get this page to a presentable state. I'll see if I can track down Benidt Weir's book via ILL for info on the FKA Minneapolis Public Library branches, and we'll do our best with the rest? Let me know what you want to do! All the best and thanks so much, —Collint c 17:10, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply, Collin. That sounds great. Yes, those two lists are good models, and the see also section would work well for standalone and university libraries. I can pick up up a copy of Benidt Weir's book when I get to the Central library, probably this weekend. = paul2520 (talk) 14:47, 5 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey, I did some editing to User:Bobamnertiopsis/List of Hennepin County Libraries yesterday. I also borrowed a copy of Benidt's book from the Hennepin County Library. Anything specific I should be looking for in there? And what did you mean by "FKA" in your previous comment?
 * I should be able to take a look tonight; I think we're pretty much ready to move to mainspace. I'm interested in going out and taking photos for some of the branches missing them, but I should think the article can be in mainspace missing a few photos. = paul2520 (talk) 13:07, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, that looks great! I no longer live in Minnesota or I'd try and help you on your quest to get photos of all of the branches. I also got my hands on a copy of Benidt's book and will also be looking into it. It's obviously a slightly older source on the Minneapolis libraries only but it might be nice to have a few sentences in the lead summarizing the expansion of Minneapolis's libraries. Are there any book sources on the HCL system, pre-merger? We could probably get two or three paragraphs out of the lead: basic stats about the branches, history of MPL, history of HCL, merger and post-merger, with recent updates? Something like that? Before we mainspace this, I'd love to get construction years for all of the libraries into the table which is easy enough (they can mostly all be sourced to the HCL's individual location pages for each branch), only it'll take a little time to get done. Maybe we can shoot to get this into the mainspace by next week? Also: FKA=formerly known as. Thanks for your work on this!! Best, —Collint c 19:31, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * That all sounds great. I can look into another reference, as I plan to get to the library this week :-)
 * Yes, a few paragraphs in the lead would be great. Maybe we can target a DYK once this page goes live?
 * Sorry to hear you no longer are local; would be great to meetup and tag-team the photos! = paul2520 (talk) 19:58, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
 * As you may have seen, I've done a bit of work on the article. I don't have access to the Benidt book at the moment; will check later for a date on Osseo's opening at the current facility.
 * I will be stopping by the library tonight & can ask about a reference pre-merger. Curious if you think we should move this to the mainspace in the next week or so and aim for a DYK, or if you think we could get this to be a featured list. Open to discussion. = paul2520 (talk) 19:34, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I found a couple of great references yesterday. See, notably, the Wezeman source cited in the new Historic libraries section. It lists several others that aren't in the current list. Might have to dig through annual reports to get those details & the official date Osseo opened in the City Hall... = paul2520 (talk) 13:26, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Great work on the article! I'm surprised that all the other libraries have well-documented opening dates and Osseo just...doesn't. The earliest reference I can find to the 415 Central location (its current home) is this snippet view referencing the "Osseo Community Library" in that location from 1976. A 1966 source indicates that in that year, voters approved bonds to construct the new town hall which would include "a branch of the Hennepin County library system." That leaves us with a decadelong gap but at least it narrows it down some.
 * We can definitely move it to mainspace this week. 1,500 characters of prose in the lede is the minimum to qualify for that so it might need a little more in that department. FL is definitely also a possibility though I think we could wait on that until we get more pictures. We would probably also want to clarify exactly what info we're putting in the Notes section, since right now it includes info about some of the renovations but not all (I've only been putting in the dates for totally new constructions/moves). Thanks for finding some of those sources! —Collint c 17:02, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Awesome! I agree about holding off for FL, as it will take time to get the photos. You may have seen my comment about possibly getting a better one for the bookmobile.
 * Yep, we can add a bit more prose. Like I said, I would like to list a few more libraries that no longer exist. I can try and find something super recent to add to the end of the lead. Would be neat if there are any plans for new libraries or renovations/moves. Any other ideas? = paul2520 (talk) 20:38, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It's up to 1,700 characters of prose. I'd say let's move it to mainspace & work on the DYK nom. What do you think? = paul2520 (talk) 01:56, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm currently at a Wikipedia meetup at MIA for the next few hours, so I could spend some time moving/doing the DYK nom. I'll defer to you if you wanted to do it, since it's in your namespace. = paul2520 (talk) 18:10, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, I've moved the page to List of Hennepin County Library branches! Congrats and thanks for all your work on this so far! —Collint c 00:47, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Nice work. Thanks for the edits you've made this afternoon/evening. So we have seven days to submit a DYK nom since it was moved... do you want to go ahead, or shall I? = paul2520 (talk) 02:01, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Is there a fact from the article that you think would make a good hook for a DYK entry? I'm happy to nominate and do the QPQ at DYK when we have a good hook fact. —Collint c 02:04, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * a couple thoughts:
 * Did you know ... that the Hennepin County Library has 41 branches in 24 cities and towns and historically had locations in a sanitarium as well as a bookmobile?
 * Did you know ... that the Hennepin County Library has 41 branches, serving ... (and maybe cite the annual report for # of visitors, online visitors, and/or volumes in the combined collections? - though we should then include this in the article, too)
 * What do you think? = paul2520 (talk) 02:21, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Just checking back in. Thoughts on the 1.5 hooks I suggested? = paul2520 (talk) 02:05, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, I like the first one! I'll nominate it shortly! Sorry for the delay. —Collint c 22:23, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Totally no worries, . I've been quite busy myself.
 * Since the article was created seven days ago, the nom would have to be made today. If I don't hear you, I'll be bold and nominate it in a couple of hours. I really think this is a great addition to showcase. But reiterating our previous discussion - we'll work on getting the rest of the photos and try for a featured list in the next few months :-) = paul2520 (talk) 15:45, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I started the nom. Review to follow shortly. Thanks for all your work on this! Looking forward to work on the missing photos & more information we can find :-) = paul2520 (talk) 20:13, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks so much, ! You've done incredible work on this list and it's looking really solid. I'm excited for it to continue growing! —Collint c 20:35, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh no, ! I see you just did a DYK nomination review for another article--I did one as well! Oops! Well, if you've got any other articles you're working on that are close to DYK, you're welcome to use my QPQ credit for bullpen car. —Collint c 20:52, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, no worries. The person who started the article I reviewed didn't need a QPQ, so it balances out. = paul2520 (talk) 01:34, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Great news. Thanks to a very helpful reference librarian, I was able to get not one but TWO references for the year Osseo opened in City Hall. See this edit :-) = paul2520 (talk) 22:07, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to check-in. Was great to see the DYK on the front page the other day. I was hoping to start making trips to take photos of the remaining libraries, but seeing as it's not really spring yet, I'll hold off a couple weeks. I hope all is well with you! = paul2520 (talk) 16:06, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes! Congrats and thanks for all your work so far to get this page which had been languishing in my userspace since at least 2012 to the articlespace (and onto the main page!) Hope all is well with you too! —Collint c 15:13, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Brown-tail moth
I see you changed two references (Frago, Candan) at Brown-tail moth. I recently brought this article up to GA class. While I appreciate that you used ResearchGate to link to PDFs of the articles, part of my effort was uniform format for all references, i.e., last name followed by initials of given names rather than spelling out first names. Also, species names in italics. Please do not change any more references. Thank you. David notMD (talk) 06:49, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for the heads up. Sorry to have disrupted the reference format you had already established; I added a few more DOIs to articles that had them without changing the uniform characteristics you've described (Surname, G., italicized species names). I believe that all the articles that have been assigned DOIs now have them included so I defer to you on the article henceforth. Good work on the GA! —Collint c 14:25, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Update: List of Hennepin County Library branches
Hi ! I hope you've been well.

I added the last photos to List of Hennepin County Library branches. What is the next step in the process to nominate and get it to be a featured list? Do we want to get better images for some of the low-res ones like File:Augsburg Park Library.jpg?

Certainly the help of others would be welcomed. I know has contributed a number of photos, too. = paul2520 (talk) 03:26, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks for trekking all around the Cities to get those pictures--they look great! I guess the next step might be to compare the article against the criteria over at WP:FL? to see how we're doing. I'm pretty sure the Former libraries section can be beefed up a little bit (the Longfellow Community Library isn't on there yet) and we should work to make sure we're defining everything consistently and putting consistent notes in the Notes section. I've replaced the Augsburg picture for now! Thanks again for your great work on this! —Collint c 19:47, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. Good call on the Longfellow/Nokomis bit. Interesting history! Thoughts on what we should add to notes? I see Augsburg was rennovated in 2013 and likewise Ridgedale was just rennovated, but do we want to include that? Should we aim to have a note for each library? = paul2520 (talk) 17:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to circle-back. I know you're busy too. Do you think we can just go ahead and make the nomination for FL, and respond to any feedback? Or do you think we should get notes for each library first? = paul2520 (talk) 21:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking in, . My thought about the notes section is that whatever we decide to include, we should make sure we are including that information for all the branches. So I think we should either decide that we want to include all renovations or none; all previous buildings which a current library replaced or none; all former names for all libraries or none; etc. Obviously including a certain type of info for all the entries means more work than including none so it's really up to us in terms of what we think we can manage to find. What do you think we should (and shouldn't) include in the Notes section?
 * The other thing to look at before nominating for FL is what comparable Featured Lists look like. There actually don't appear to be any FLs listing all the branches of a given library system, so we'll have to turn elsewhere. List of lighthouses in Connecticut is sort of related, listing all of a given type of structure within a given place, though the text there is pretty sparse. It includes coordinates which we definitely could add but definitely don't need to. List of bridges in Seattle has a better lede and thus offers a little more of a template for what the HCL branches list could look like. I think we could probably add a little more about why the 2007 merger happened, summarize the Former libraries section, and maybe add one or two more facts about the branches in general; perhaps which has the highest (and/or lowest) circulation, if that's available, or other collections-related info. —Collint c 22:26, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
