Archive 3: February 2014

Request page message moved
Hi, I've moved the message you left for BabbaQ at the GOCE Requests page to his/her talk page because I'm about to archive and remove the request. Post-copyedit messages should always go on the appropriate talk page because we archive requests as soon as possible after they're done. Thanks, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:06, 1 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. Am new to this, and still learning, but will remember in the future. I have another message there, but it's simply saying that I finished what was requested.  Should those types of messages also go on the person's talk page?  And finally, If I do finish the items requested, I don't remove it from the request page, do I?  Thanks for your guidance.  Onel5969 (talk) 12:40, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much first of all for your assistance with the copy-edit etc.. I will take a look at your issues raised in due time over the next week. Thank you again.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:35, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

1988 Campeonato Argentino de Rugby
Hi, I got your message. Before renaming it, I think someone with knowledge about this should take a look at the title. The Spanish Wikipedia refers to it as "Campeonato Argentino de Rugby", while the English Wikipedia refers to it as "Campeonato Argentino de Mayores" or simply "Campeonato Argentino". I'm not sure which one is correct, perhaps they are interchangeable. Tal Brenev (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

List of works by Henri Chapu
Hi

Thanks you for your comments.

Have looked at the three options and much prefer that for Edmond Sharpe. Indeed once you have completed Henri Chapu I am tempted to use this as a template for future articles.

Again many thanks for your help.

Weglinde (talk) 09:07, 4 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'll be working on it later today.  Might take a day or two to complete, so don't freak out if it looks funky while I'm working on it.  Onel5969 (talk) 13:36, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Advice
You should always leave a notice at the talk page of the article that you have edited the article. I think you will find which notice template to leave at the project page. You could otherwise check out the talk page of Agneta Sjödin, there you find the notice. Perhaps you could place it on all the articles you have edited within the project of editors that you are in so far. And also all articles from now on that you edit within the project.Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 22:53, 4 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi... are you talking about the goce tag which reads, "A version of this article was copyedited by a member of the Guild of Copy Editors on 31st October 2013. The Guild welcomes all editors with a good grasp of English and Wikipedia's policies and guidelines to help in the drive to improve articles. Visit our project page if you're interested in joining! If you have questions, please direct them to our talk page."? If so, I think I've tagged most, if not all of the articles I edited since I found out about it, but will go back and check.  If that's not it, please let me know.  Onel5969 (talk) 23:49, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was the tag I was talking about. Thank you :)--BabbaQ (talk) 11:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Use of brackets etc
Hi

Hope you are getting on well with your rewrite of "Works of Henri Chapu".

As you are being so helpful I need your assistance on a small problem.

Here are four links

http://louvre.sculpturederue.fr/page274.html

http://louvre.sculpturederue.fr/page273.html

http://louvre.sculpturederue.fr/page276.html

http://louvre.sculpturederue.fr/page275.html

They all seem to work but when I dress them in the formula they do not work. Perhaps you could just try this and see where I am going wrong!

Many thanks Weglinde (talk) 20:03, 5 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. I actually haven't started on the List yet, but will in the next day or two.  It will take me at least two or three days to fix it.  Regarding the format of the links, here's how it will work:  Link to Louvre

That's if you're putting it in as reference, not a simple link. If you want to insert a simple link, it should be Link to Louvre

Whatever text you put after the webpage link, but within the brackets will be what is displayed.

Hope this helps.

Francois Rude
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Weglinde/sandbox

I have almost finished my piece on Francois Rude for which I have used, or tried to use, your example on Henri Chapu. I have some extra works to add and have some links to sort out but I hope you will be pleased that I have taken on board your splendid example. Thanks again

Weglinde (talk) 16:58, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

I have moved Francois Rude listing to Wikipedia proper from sandbox. I wanted the sandbox free as I am redoing my piece on Alexandre Falguiere. Again I am using your Chapu template. Still look forward your comments on my Francois Rude piece and noting any changes you choose to make Weglinde (talk) 16:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)


 * . Thanks for letting me know.  Sorry I haven't looked at yet, was in the middle of two projects: a huge eidt of the Phoenix, Arizona page, and now for the wikiproject city group I'm going through the cities one by one and giving them a consistent format.  Will look at it in the next day or so.  Onel5969 (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. My apologies for not getting to this sooner.  Okay, here are my thoughts, and I'd be more than happy to take a pass at it if you'd like.  First, someone else made an edit on the Chapu page, removing the "Brief Biography" title, and simply making that the lead paragraph to the entire article, and I like it a lot.  I think your brief bio on this page needs to be trimmed significantly, and like Chapu only deal with items regarding the actual works.  You then compound that by breaking up the list and inserting 3 more prose biographical sections.  I think the entire prose of this article needs to be along the lines of the length of the Chapu article, and the interrupting prose sections need to be completely deleted.  Second, the descriptions under some of the pics in the table are way too long, making the table itself look unwieldy.  Most of the info can go in the notes section, and you need to be wary of duplicating too much info.  We already know that the work was done in 1823, and in Brussels. I edited the first one to show what I mean.  Third, and this is just a style thing... notice I centered the caption under the photo, on pages I'm working I'm attempting to do that, imho it makes the photo's inclusion look more professional. Fourth, and finally, many of the notes need to be edited and trimmed.  Again, be careful of duplicating information.  For example, on the item, "Interior decoration in the Royal Palace of Brussels", look at the title, place, photo caption, date and notes.  The title and place are almost identical, the caption then includes the name again, the date column includes the information you already provided in the Key box above, and then you say in the note box that it was created and designed by Rude (which is what the list is all about).  As I said, I'd be happy to take a pass if you'd like.  I hope this helps.  Onel5969 (talk) 18:31, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Many thanks for this. I assume "take a pass" means "have a go". I would be happy if you would do so. Clearly I have a lot to learn and if you clear up the Rude piece I will then take on board what you have done and adapt how I approach future listings Weglinde (talk) 18:38, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I gave it a shot. Let me know.

I can certainly see the difference  Much sharper and concise and less waffle. I will try to absorb some of this for my next listing. Do you think I should continue with these listings. I enjoy doing them but if they are not up to the required standard it is best to be told. Weglinde (talk) 09:01, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Of course continue with them. Don't let one other person's opinion come between what you like to do.  Just try to keep an open mind when other people edit them.  Remember, brief information is what is required in Wikipedia articles.  And lists, are the briefest.  Keep the bio information short, keep all details about the artists' subjects out of the notes, and cut down on redundant information.  that's what I do when I edit the lists.  Here's the guidelines I use:  First, since the table tells you where the piece is located and when it was done, neither of those pieces of information should be in the notes.  Also, the entire article is about an artist, so again, that information in the notes is redundant.  Second, get rid of any descriptions under the pictures, that belongs in the notes.  Third, other than saying pertinent info about an artist's subject (e.g. he was his father-in-law), leave out biographical info on the subjects.  Instead, have their name be a pagelink to their page in Wikipedia. (If the person using the list is interested, they can click on the name to find out the info).  The one time you should include subject bio info, is when they do not have their own wiki page.  But then, no more than one or two sentences.  Four, the introduction bio should be no longer than the one we just did for Rude.  Take out all non-art information, and only include any information which deals with the different time periods you put in the "key".  Remember the lead section of ANY article is supposed to be a brief synopsis of the article which follows. Fifth, remember, I'm not an expert.  I'm just trying to help, and I can be wrong.  For example, someone else edited the article and put the pic to the right, and that's where it belongs.  Sixth, don't be shy asking for help.  Anyway, hope this helps.  Onel5969 (talk) 13:11, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Houston
Thanks for the note. No worries, my edits were minor, and they are mostly preserved. Overall, the Houston article is in very nice shape. It could probably do with fewer photos — especially the three panoramas in a row of the Houston skyline, and the two consecutive oversized photos of the rodeo and convention center. Just a suggestion, take it or leave it. Cheers. Barryjjoyce (talk) 01:43, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Re:Phoenix
I'm glad that you enjoyed my photo. Taking pictures and documenting historical buildings is a hobby of mine. This morning I took my 8 year grandson with me to take some photos among which is the one you saw. A lot of my photographic work has been published with my permission by my local paper "The Arizona Republic". See: Glendales Historic Homes and Buildings, Phoenix Historic Buildings, Peoria Historic Buildings, Scottsdale Historic Buildings,   Tempe Historic Buildings and '''Wickenburg Historic Buildings. If you wish, you can let me know your opinion of my work. Tony the Marine (talk) 00:20, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello Onel5969, recently you asked me a question about my photo File:Phoenix-Jones-Montoya House-1879.jpg and I replied. I didn't mention that it seemed to me kind of strange that you would ask where did i get it, when it is made perfectly clear that i took it and that said information is on the description section of the file. Now, tell me, what do you think of the rest of my work in regard to the photo documentation of historical structures of Arizona which has also been published in the Arizona Republic? Tony the Marine (talk) 22:39, 19 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Regarding the attribution, I didn't scroll down on the page, simply enjoyed the photo, that's why I didn't see that you had taken the shot yourself. I haven't gone through all the pics on those links, but I've enjoyed the Glendale and Phoenix articles so far.  You have a good eye for framing, and I like your use of angles.  Thanks for sharing.  Are they all uploaded to WikipCommons?  Onel5969 (talk) 14:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your comments, I appreciate them. Most, with the exception of the current ones, are in commons. This weekend, I hope to wrap up Phoenix and next week Chandler. Tony the Marine (talk) 16:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Phoenix 2
Well, our debate is rendered moot by Rjensen gutting the section. I don't entirely disagree with his/her edits and will offer my own thoughts if you want to bring it up on talk.

That said, I would defend each of the minor edits I made that you reverted:


 * Defining Luke Field, etc. as Air Force bases for the unfamiliar reader (like myself).
 * Removing scare quotes around words that did not need them (admittedly not a vital change).
 * Providing proper tense to the phrase "...simply walking away..."
 * Removing a reference to "here" that didn't make contextual sense.
 * Changing the sudden shift to present tense when discussing Motorola to past.

In sum, it was a fine edit and I don't see why it needed to be reverted wholesale. Anyway, perhaps we should discuss the coverage more generally in this section as it seems to be under debate. Dontreadalone (talk) 05:15, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * You're not wrong that if erroneous stories are frequent that it might be mentioned. It just seemed odd to specifically refer to the Huffington Post only for the purpose of calling it wrong. Perhaps we can say "Although a Chicago area store from 1955 is often incorrectly identified as the first franchise, the McDonald brothers actually sold their first franchise..."


 * Why is the midwest store considered the first? There must be some reason. Dontreadalone (talk) 19:45, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I like your wording, I was tyring to be more specific, but I'll add your verbiage, gets the point across better, although I'll use the Des Plaines which is usually referred to.


 * The Des Plaines location is the first McDonald's franchise opened AFTER Kroc purchased it, but several others had been opened in CA, in addition to the first one in Phoenix. I'm also going to add the fact that the trademark golden arches were first created for the Phoenix store.  Onel5969 (talk) 19:51, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I get it. Fine with me. Dontreadalone (talk) 20:32, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Re: James Brown & The Famous Flames
Hello.I have a question: Are you familiar with the history of this group ? I have known about them and have been a fan of them all of my life. I have done exhaustive research on them for years...and have extensively interviewed Famous Flame Bobby Bennett and his widow, Sandi. I started the very first Facebook page on the Famous Flames and and my interview with the late Mr. Bennett was published by Goldmine Magazine ( http://www.goldminemag.com/blogs/bobby-bennett-the-last-of-the-famous-flames-speaks-of-james-brown-more ). I also have extensively read and researched numerous biographical information onJames Brown and The Famous Flames ....and I just have to ask: Why do you continue to remove my edits ? Even those that I have included references with ? Please Reply. Thank You.Willgee (talk) 02:45, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

https://www.facebook.com/thefamousflamesbysandibennett  Thanks Again. Willgee (talk) 02:49, 18 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Willgee}} You are much more knowledgeable about this subject matter than I.  My issue isn't with your knowledge, but with uncited additions.  I reverted three of your edits, all uncited.  The first dealt with naming ALL of the group when it disbanded, which was covered earlier in the article, and therefore redundant.  Then, you added "forgotten by the music industry, Dee-Jays,and the general public, while James Brown changed his style from R&B to Funk,and went on to become a solo superstar", which is a combination of peacock language [[Wikipedia:PEACOCK#Puffery (e.g. "forgotten by the music industry), and redundant material (regarding Brown going on in a solo career).  The second reverting I did was your inclusion of the term "several pioneering groups", without citing a reference.  The last reverting I did was when you added the term, "as a group again" which is unnecessary.


 * I'm also reverting your last edit, which places the term "Famous Flame" before Bobby Bennett's name. Which is absolutely redundant, since the entire article is about the Famous Flames, as well as mentioning Bennett as a Flame earlier in the article.  I hope this makes it clear.  I love early rock and roll, and I think this is an important article, and want it to be as close to encyclopedic quality as possible.  If you have citations, lay them on me.  Let's see if we can't bring this article up to "B" or "A" status.  Onel5969 (talk) 05:51, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
