For your reference, here is how I posted your nomination using the new system:
 * 1) At T:TDYK, I entered the name of the nomination in the box and clicked "Create nomination" to create the nomination page Template talk:Did you know/Toposa People, Nadapal, Narus, South Sudan

Considering your work on Marcomannia, I have given you a DYK Make credit as well. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:13, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * That's what Rjanag and Gatoclass say, and they've been active at DYK for quite a while. I hope they are correct. WT:DYK has calmed down a bit recently, but it's still not a safe place for newcomers. The current fiasco reminds me of the image at WP:LAME; most of those involved are respected, but are taking sides that are the polar opposite of each other, and newer editors are caught in the middle. Thanks for trying to help with the stalled noms; I've seen you take up a couple other ones too. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:25, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

You are doing some admirable work on South Sudan Aymatth. Mongalla, South Sudan is incredible for an article on a town in South Sudan. Spotted it on a google map to see if we had an article and not only that but something surely of GA quality. Keep up your excellent work I'd give you a barnstar but I don't think you rate barnstars very highly.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:25, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I think its time many of your articles were posted at GA. Do you agree?♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:46, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Gah, DYK. Its sort of like a war torn battle ground after a civil war at the moment, I see you noticed. It sort of had a scathing attack and every contributor who has ever contributed to DYK attacked and seen as some sort of vermin it seems because a few articles daily have some issues like plagiarism, bad sources/POV etc. And one of DYKs most prolific editors User:Billy Hawthorn banned indefinitely from DYK (he creates content like Pap Dean)... I'm keeping well away at the moment. If you see the history of Wikipedia talk:Did you know‎ in the last few weeks you'll kind of understand why a lot of people are upset. I'm personally not bothered by what Sandy said as I know mnay of us have produced GAs even FAs and are capable editors. But in situation where it is being increasingly unattractive for editors to bother that's not good, even if I agree that DYK quality needs to improve.♦  Dr. Blofeld  18:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Even shortish articles like Khartoum Peace Agreement of 1997 I think stand a chance of passing GA...♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:33, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree. The "issue" is that the low quality threshold permitted a number of copyvios and articles with bad sourcing to hit the front page of encyclopedia when the front page, according to the FA group, is supposed to be "exemplary with our best work". They see DYK as an embarrassement and an example of wikipedia's worst work. That is the conflict and why it is mostly the FA reviewers who have been most anti-DYK. GA is very important I think because it means the article has been formally checked and at least has some sort of assessment. I think a great number of your articles, particularly those on subjects where info is quite lacking, could pass GA very easily. They don't have to be anywhere near perfect, just a soundly written article which summarises the main points well with solid sourcing, which you nearly always meet anyway. Please consider it, the ten minutes or so often needed to read the reviewers comments and address them is well worth it if it means our GA bank has a higher number of articles on African topics which it is almost completely devoid of right now. Quality and Africa rarely go together, which is why I consider you one of our most valuable editors.. I'd be more than happy to help you get the articles beyond the GA level. Perhaps if we start with a few you'll get into it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:15, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Can you add citations to where I've marked on Adar oilfield, most of them are the usual controversial type claims which need backing. I think it would be ready for GAR then.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:43, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Please don't feel pressured or backed into a corner. Yes, some of the minor things needed for GA might seme a bit trivial or pointless to you but I honestly think the end result is worth it. I can see you are still dubious, but GA requires minimum effort compared to the farce that is FAC. I agree that many of your articles are a little rough around the edges and not all could pass GA but you do have many articles on quite a rnage of subjects which provide a satidfactory coverage for GA. Remember that the articles needn't even be particularly comprehensive for GA, just covering the main points using the knowledge that exists about it and fairly well written/sourced.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:58, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Good Article promotion
Well done! Perhaps you could list your good articles on your user page to keep track of them.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:27, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

If you view Good articles/Geography and places Mongalla is only the second settlement in the whole of Africa to reach GA level which is pathetic isn't it. I've also listed the article at WikiProject South Sudan.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:44, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Mmm, or Ambrosden and Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is more important? I've generated a User:Aymatth2/Articles for the purpose of finding the many "gems" you've written which could pass GA. If you do not want such a list and feel uncomfortable with it please say so and I will delete it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:06, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Adar oilfield now looks a sound summary, I've nominated it. Thankyou for adding those refs. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:38, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Yes that was the reason I asked as I didn't want you to feel pressured that you had to develop any or that some articles may have been forgotten about. I think its a positive thing to review your past work though and remember subjects you've written about which you'd forgotten!♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:21, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Adar oilfield GAR has begun. Where is the American persons forbidden claim in here?♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:10, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

"Soon after Chevron had closed operations, government troops began attacking civilian settlements in the area" Which government? Sudanese I gather?♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:47, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

See, there you go we now have two African GAs. I know you don't appear to place much value on GAs but please consider it. Anyway.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:24, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Never ceases to amaze me how quickly you can produce good content. Very well done. Maybe you could rub your researching skills off on the authors of the Jennifer Connelly article, an FA candidate in which the author didn't even look in google books.♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:58, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh yes I agree. I sort of compare it to eating bubble gum and a Big Mac instead of a proper meal.. OK in moderation to long as you mostly eat a well balanced proper meal..♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:27, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi
Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. – Quadell (talk) 13:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * This article is fascinating, and has many strengths: it's thorough, has many informative sources, and is full of good prose. On the other hand, there are many places where improvements are needed: there are neutrality issues, I have questions about some sourcing, and, most importantly, there are places that are unclear or where background information is needed. This is one of those odd GA nominations that are quite close in one sense, but where nearly every paragraph has room for improvement. It's going to take a lot of effort to fix all the issues I'm identifying. Do you think you're up for it? Some people just want to nominate articles and then have a hands-off approach, and I don't want to go through the trouble of identifying and typing up a thorough review if no one will act on it. So what's you participation level, do you think? All the best, – Quadell (talk) 18:06, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Better source request for File:CHRI-Logo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:CHRI-Logo.gif. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link].

A note of appreciation
Now that's quite a reward. Aymatth i've noticed some of your articles on DRC towns and centres of the Territories of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Feel free to redirect these territories to the main towns as you create them and maybe categorize your articles as Category:Territories in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:19, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, which makes the current scenario look extremely crap for the Congo doesn't it... Well, if you could of course manage to compile info to write articles about territories when you feel like this would be great... If you could categorize though like Mambasa Territory is now, they aren't settlements of course. I created Template:Economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo a while back. There's lots of agricultural case studies missing of course on the main industries. I'll try to start the Coffee one and some others sometime.♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:43, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Indeed and looking a the world map in front of me on the wall, not kidding, just like Blofeld's, DRC is almost at the centre of the world and is vast in size!♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:58, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

info boxes
Hi,

If you like, there's an 'ethnicity=' parameter in the language info boxes to help interconnect the articles, as here. Sometimes I get that done, but I'm not familiar with the ethnology articles. — kwami (talk) 14:13, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, no problem. I think the idea was that for ethnolinguistic groups, the language and people articles should be easily accessible from each other, not that we should add a link to every ethnicity that's adopted Spanish or Arabic. But of course we can add more than one link when that makes sense. The parameter is also supported by the language family info box, for when a people such as the Ibgo speak several related languages. And since the language articles all link to each other through their families, that might be a handy way to navigate the ethnicity articles. — kwami (talk) 14:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I wasn't advocating something similar for ethnic groups. I just thought that if you want to navigate ethnolinguistically, you could do so through the language articles, assuming they then link back to the ethnicity articles. Having the links in the info boxes just makes it easier to navigate that way. And of course people looking up a language might be interested in the people who speak it. — kwami (talk) 15:45, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I doubt that a similar tree for ethnicities would be workable, except for the categories we already have. There are sporadic attempts to make articles on language-family proposals as if they were people, but IMO they are generally nonsensical. — kwami (talk) 05:26, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Aymatth2! I'm very pleased to see that someone has made some edits to the Basankusu page. It's been a bit of a one-man-band so far - even though about twenty people promised to edit it when I originally started it.

Can you categorize territories like this. The populated places are reserved for towns and villages..

BTW you might find this site useful for finding the sectors and groupements of each territory as well as population/area data.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:27, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Here is a very useful map zoom in on 100% to see the CHiefdoms and sectors of each territory. I think I'll compile a Chiefdoms and sectors of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:42, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Will look into both although compiling the chiefdom list will take a few hours. Sorry to add the red link but it was a major landmark on the google map view.♦ Dr. Blofeld

Mmm, possible, I couldn't find anything in google books about him. Do we have an article on the conflict of 2001?♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:54, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Your post implies that every article I create is devoid of any information! Perhaps then you could give this meager stub some TLC. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:35, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Sometimes get carried away when there are masses of red links. But I agree a fact or two would be appropriate as a start. An article should really contain a fact or two... ♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:59, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Also started Sullubawa which you might have heard of, being a Nigeriaologist.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:22, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Eh, I agree. But the map which I'm getting the names from doesn't say whether its a sector ot chiefdom so I can't link them like that As you seem to have access to which is which perhaps you could add them?.10:22, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

However, we could improve the province articles by adding more content on the geography section of the province, for example. Thank you. Mightymights (talk) 16:28, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

I moved the city of Bandundu to Bandundu, Democratic Republic of the Congo. We should now move Bandundu Province to Bandundu, since "Bandundu" is overwhelmingly associated with the province. We could also do the same thing with Katanga and Orientale. What do you think ? Mightymights (talk) 11:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Kwilu River, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bandundu (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Presbytery of Relief
Thanks so much for creating this article - it's very helpful. Rather than go through WP:RM, I thought it would be easier to ask you - can the article be moved to Relief Church? I notice that phrase has 17,000 hits on Google Books (and 80,000 altogether) as opposed to 6,000 for "Presbytery of Relief". StAnselm (talk) 21:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello Aymatth2,

I added a bunch of links recently to the cameroon line article - which seems to have a lot of problems with multiple names for each of teh volcanic edifices. Anyway I noticed you removed the link to Luba,_Equatorial_Guinea - the reason I inserted the link was that the linked article says "Luba (formerly San Carlos)" which suggests that Gran Caldera de Luba is probably a synonym for San Carlos (volcano) especially given the rest of the context - but I guess I need to go chase around on the smithsonian global volcanism webpage to find confirmation that it's a synonym.

Aymatth2 and Nmisra Guys how can this be a part of "pursuit of anti-minority agenda in some school". this is world's largest volunteer education movement. Show me a parallel to just the number of schools they run by anyone else. Minorities in INDIA around 20% - have a look at this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHyEkMa1tUg. Aymatth2 and Nmisra of you should correct the lead section. There was one more question I saw from Aymatth2 Central India govt may have stopped the aid but local state govt support in a lot of state. Reasons are the incumbent government which funded these schools was replaced by a different one which may have a different priorities. They may come back to power again. Its the same as Republicans vs Democrats in US or Labor vs Conservatives in UK, different govt have different priorities. But at the end of day this is a volunteer effort and does not require any govt to support them. Hope this helps and one of you Aymatth2 or Nmisra can correct the lead section.

Your system of referencing irritates me LOL. It disrupts the article when you come to edit it when they are on each line, much tidier when they're all on one line, and that ref bunching beneath the refs at the bottom is dated now!!♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I personally find the refs on each line which was more common a few years back on here bloating, and for me at least it makes it harder to follow and find text as there's more to scroll down. Doesn't make any difference to the reader though as you say. I also format the dates in writing as my google book ref tool maker does it that way and I see the majority of editors are formatting them that way. I used to do the 2010-06-03 thing though. I don't think there's any standard or rule on it, so long as they are consistent in articles. but the ref bunching under refs I find confusing. That's my opinion anyway! I've contacted Tamara Benitez requesting some photos even videos so we may be lucky.. BTW if you want the google books and google book ref maker linked in your itinary (which makes things a lot quicker and easier, see the directions on User talk:Smarojit. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:22, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

The reason I said is that above all it looks like it takes you a lot of time to make the references that's al, when they had be quickly made on the ref tool maker. The explanation of placing authors surname first and first name last on the google book ref maker where it says Author just click "or" and it'll swap it around. Have a go at using it, it was a big relief for me I must say. On any topic I simply google book search something Like "William Burges glass" and find refs like that and paste urls in rapid succession into the tool maker and paste em into the article. It also enables me to quickly source unsourced articles I come across. It should greatly help you I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:53, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Translated Marcel Anselme, was on a list of missing notable French painters, but I can't find anything solid on him. Can you find something?♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Judging by her face and surname I'd say she's almost full blooded Spanish in descent, maybe she is a quarter Asian.. A half Asian half Spanish looks like this. I think I'll start another film later.♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:21, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Yeah there's something in the eyelids to that effect..♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:43, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)
Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:


 * Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasit &#124; c 17:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
