Acid dissociation constant - re-written lead
I have now re-written the lead for acid dissociation constant. The essential content of the lead is the same as before. The effect of this change will be that when chemists will read the explanatory material they will say to themselves, yes, I know that, but non-chemists will hopefully get the gist of what the article is about

I invite you to read it and then record your “vote”, e.g. “now support” or “still oppose”, at wp:Featured_article_candidates/Acid_dissociation_constant. I have assembled a list of names under Re-written lead, so that the responses will be collected together in one place.

Some minor disagreements will inevitably remain. These should not be a reason for opposition. Rather, put constructive ideas on the article’s talk page, so that the article can be further improved by the normal editing process. Petergans (talk) 09:31, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Itub (talk) has proposed an alternative, shorter version of the lead at User:Itub/ADC lead. Petergans (talk) 10:49, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia In The News
G'day! I noticed you added a story to my In the News. We definitely should cover that story, as it's big news for Wikimedia and it has been written about by multiple news sources. Would you mind expanding your summary into a full paragraph? The story is due tomorrow for publishing, and it would be a big help. If you expand it into a full summary, I'll be sure to include you in the by-line, eh? Fun stuff. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 19:46, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tefé Holland.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Tefé Holland.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:23, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

 * And here I always thought is was a made-up name. ;-) --GentlemanGhost (talk) 01:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I like using my real name because google gives such high priority to wikipedia. It works extra well because I have an unusual name, but right now I'm the top five hits for Peregrine Fisher on google.  That's very hard to do normally, although maybe myspace, etc. could provide the same results, I don't know.  Some people want to remain anons, but I like being findable with a quick search.
 * I used to be User:PeregrineFisher, which didn't lead to good google results. You could probably become the second hit if you have your account renamed to User:Gentlemen Ghost. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 05:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Chak De India
Thanks for your edit to Chak De India. You raised a fair point and perhaps can offer some advice as to how to describe the film. It is a fictional story, with a fictional cast of characters and fictional games. However, it is based upon a series of interviews conducted with members of the real team and their 2002 win in England. Do you think that, as written, this distinction is clearly made? Thanks again, -Classicfilms (talk) 18:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Portland Hempstalk Festival
As you've probably seen from the Oregon project talk page and the Cannabis in Oregon talk page, I started the Portland Hempstalk Festival article. It definitely needs help, but I can see you are working on plenty of other articles. However, I just thought I'd let you know it was started in case you needed to "stub" it or add it to the Oregon project in ways I am not familiar with. Thanks again for all of your help with other Oregon-related articles I have seen you working on. I will be making my way up to Portland next week, and look forward to working on other articles related to the state and surrounding areas in the future. Best wishes!

Signpost format
Thanks for your suggestion. I noticed it at the Signpost talk page earlier, but didn't comment on it for a couple reasons. The main one is that I wouldn't presume to push for major changes until Ral315 is back in the conversation. But I also think our weekly [sic] format has some attractive features: it makes for easy organization of earlier content, like other news media it has the element of finality that sets it apart from the ever-changing rest of what we do, and it has deadlines, which I find helpful for keeping things up to date. Without the standard set of features and regular deadlines for them, I think our coverage would be a lot spottier than it has been. I think we should be able to work out some conventions so that we don't fall behind when any specific people are off-wiki for extended periods. That's just my opinion, of course; I don't pretend to be the final word on the issue.--ragesoss (talk) 04:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

GAs in Spanish Wikipedia
Hello. Well, in Spanish Wikipedia, a lot of GAs and FAs are translations from articles written in English Wikipedia. To write a GA, you need to know the subject, to write a complete article about it, to include references, to put images if you can (this is more difficult in Spanish Wikipedia than in the English one, because we don't applicate the fair use) and then to nominate the article in es:Wikipedia:Selección de artículos buenos/nominaciones. In this page, any user can nominate an article, and then another user (this user has to had written a good or a featured article) can check it and he or she decides if it deserves to be a good article. The article can be approved, can be rejected or can be put "on hold". The articles are put on hold when they need little changes to be a GA; the author has seven days to correct the mistakes that the other user (the one who can approve or reject the article) has noted. In Spanish Wikipedia we also have another choice: we can approve or reject the article, and then ask for a second opinion: other user can check the article and he or she decides if it can be approved.

Then, when the article is approved, the author can check another nominated article (he can't be the author, of course). Well, I think that's all the process. If you need more help, you can contact me in my talk page in Spanish Wikipedia. :) --Mel 23 (talk) 14:47, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * In response to this comment, I assume you are interested in trying to improve some SImpsons articles. Do you own any of the DVDs or books? Those are quite useful. Episode pages are the easiest, you can have one done within a day or so, character pages are much more complex but if we can get all five members of the Simpson family to GA, anything is possible. -- Scorpion 0422  18:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't have the books or DVDs, but I bet I could do one on the current season using Google. I have three GANs right now which are occupying me for the moment, but I may do a Simpsons GA one of these days.  I think what your project is doing is great. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 19:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Dispatch on other language GAs
The article that you proposed for the Signpost (on other Wiki GAs) would be a logical fit for the Dispatches. We've got one in the works already for Featured content in other languages, so it would make sense to run GA on the heels of that. Perhaps you can peruse WT:FCDW and add the suggestion there, where others can help? See WP:FCDW/OtherWikis, still in the data gathering phase, but planned for within the month.

GAs on the German Wikipedia
In the German Wikipedia, we don't have such a quality scale from Stub Class to Featured articles. There are two honors for Wikipedia articles: "Exzellent" (excellent) and "Lesenswert" (worth-reading). The term Exzellent is equivalent to Featured Articles on the English Wikipedia. Lesenswert is comparable with Good Articles on the English Wikipedia. You want to know something about the German worth-reading articles, then?

The decision whether an article becomes a lesenswerter Artikel is based on Requirements for worth-reading articles (de-wiki) as well as How to write good articles? (de).


 * Minimum Requirements
 * 1) The article has to meet the central aspects (crucial points) of the subject
 * 2) The article has to be "technically correct", that means accurate
 * 3) The information in the article have to be sourced (complete references)
 * 4) All figures/images that are used in the article have to be under a free license
 * 5) The form/layout of the article should be pleasing and comply with the standards of Wikipedia
 * 6) The article has to have an introduction, which summarizes the crucial information about the topic
 * 7) The introduction must also explain the subject and the context of the article


 * Things that are tolerated in worth-reading articles
 * 1) Some aspects (points) may be incomplete or missing
 * 2) Images are not necessary but may not be chosen inappropriate or at random
 * 3) Speech: Small uncertainties and weaknesses are tolerated, as long as they do not affect the understanding of the text
 * 4) Jargon is tolerated, despite bad understandability, if it is necessary for the representation of the topic. Not tolerated are unnecessary complicated phrases, that are lingo.

That was the translation of the Requirements for worth-reading articles. If you have knowledge of German you may also have a look at How to write good articles? (de). If you haven't any knowledge about German you can ask me. --MaiusGermanicus (talk) 21:19, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi! :) I have nominated the article Dwellers of the Forbidden City for Good Article status, as I feel it has undergone significant improvement from the point at which it was almost deleted.

 * How far do you think we are from being ready to kickoff Silver Age of Comic Books for the GA-run? :) BOZ (talk) 21:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I think the big block quotes should be summarized and incorporated into the text. Somthing about the "Marvel and DC" and "Other publishers" sections needs to be done.  Maybe combine the into history, and remove the stuff about Archie and the Batman TV series because I've looked hard for sources and found none (online anyways).  Then make sure the lead summarizes the whole thing, and then just read the whole thing and copyedit whatever needs it.  It's only a few hours work, but I haven't got up for it yet.  I've been feeling a bit lazy, but if you want to start I'll probably get motivated.  We may want to copy this over to the talk page, as well. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 21:39, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Jackie Robinson Edits
Thanks so much for your feedback. I did have multiple cites because I felt it necessary to provide more than one source on such a volatile part of his public life. The fact that his testimony regarding Robeson was absent from the article gives one the idea that it's still a very controversial part of his legacy as it took him out of the framework of squeaky clean sports and into the Cold war AND it pitted him against another beloved African-American icon. The section may be tampered with or deleted (Robeson has been hugely controversial on wikipedia) so I'm happy that the article is protected. Please make any adjustments to any of the work I did and thanks again. Catherine Huebscher (talk) (contribs) 17:24, 27 January 2009 (PST)

Yes, it is a reliable source - articles are peer-reviewed, and the journal is indexed by the MLA, the relevant professional society for the field. Why - is there an article where there's an issue with its use? Phil Sandifer (talk) 05:06, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I was thinking about working on some Neil Gaiman stuff. I'm a big fan.  I haven't decided what to work on.

To editors who support deletion on this page, my name is probably as negative as TNN is with those who support inclusion. Ikip (talk) 10:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Confused
I am so confused about who tends to be what in this RfC. It is human nature to want to categorize people, and put them in neat little boxes, but this RfC has made it difficult.

for example, everyone says Phil is an inclusionist, but I don't understand.

DGG, probably the most respected editor who supports inclusion, voted yes for this proposal, and A Nobody is neutral.

Other delete editors are against it too. Ikip (talk) 10:50, 31 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Phil started the page that is now FICT. It started looser, and Phil fought the whole time to keep it as loose as he could, and in the end we all kind of agreed on the one we have now.  It's the most we could get, basically.  A while back, we had a big poll, with the inclusionists hoping the fans would come out and support by a huge margin, but they didn't.  We can let this die, and just have NOTE again, but it's stricter.  It requires two big (book, newspaper, etc.) references for everything, including fiction.  The new FICT requires one smaller reference, and some enough DVD commentary or creator interviews or whatnot to write an article that has some out of universe info (basically a production section). - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 16:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I respect you and Phil's work. At what point do you give up negotiating, and figure that the end product is worse than no compromise?
 * I have seen personally what some of these editors will do with this policy. Wikipedia_talk:Television_episodes
 * I hope you don't close the conversation like DGG did User_talk:DGG Ikip (talk) 19:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I think the guideline should be given a chance. If it doesn't work, we can mark it historical or try again. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 22:57, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Silver Age Comics
Hi, Peregrine! (Great name!) I'm withdrawing from the Silver Age review because I think you should take Xover's suggestion and grab some reliable sources. Rewrite your lead (as you planned), delete the few sentences you planned to remove, and send the article to copyedit at Comics Project. Then renominate. This is an important article in comics history and deserves the best attention from its editor! Good luck! ShaShaJackson (talk) 10:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ouch. I saw that comment on the review page before I went to bed, and said "gee, thanks for the stymie." ;) Well, better luck next time... BOZ (talk) 13:54, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, if you want a more thorough review, you could probably request a GAR; this may not change the result, but if you specifically request a reassessment you might get a more detailed review. Optionally, there is also peer review. The reviewer has just begun performing GA reviews a few days ago and may not have had the experience to give what you were asking for.

Cave Junction, Oregon
Hi, I am reviewing your article, Cave Junction, Oregon, for GA and have entered some comments atTalk:Cave Junction, Oregon/GA1. I do have some issue with the apparently undue weight given to wine. I also did some copy editing of the article which you can feel free to change if you do not agree with it. Regards, &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 01:58, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the copy edit. Nice work on spotting [Grammatical voice|voice]] issues.  Passive is such and easy trap to fall into. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 02:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Review
Thanks for reviewing Ruth Martin (Lassie). One question. Is is permissible to place the episode references within the text (like this): "In the fifth season (1958), June Lockhart made her debut as Ruth Martin in the opening episode, "The Storm" with Hugh Reilly as her husband Paul Martin." I prefer incorporating the episode-as-reference into the text but I'm not sure I've seen a WP guideline on this. I'll follow your recommendations. BTW, I've checked a few of your articles on your User Page. There a pleasure to read. I appreciate unusual and well written articles like Cannabis in Oregon.

 * Thank you. It was fun to write.
 * I don't think we have a hard rule about it. WikiProject Lost does some of the best television articles.  Looking at Nikki and Paulo, you should probably have inline refs.  They contain more information.  One example ref is '"Every Man for Himself." Lost, ABC. October 25, 2006. Episode 4, season 3.'  You could put all that in sentence itself, but I don't think it would flow well.  I'm having one of my articles reviewed right now, and they requested that I have a publisher for every ref, so think inline is the way to go.  Just becuase you have inline refs doesn't mean you still can't do sentences like "In the fifth season (1958), June Lockhart made her debut as Ruth Martin in the opening episode, "The Storm" with Hugh Reilly as her husband Paul Martin."  I think that reads pretty well.  Up to you on that part. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 03:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem! I can easily add page numbers. One book may be delayed; it's coming from the public library. Thanks for the feedback! ItsLassieTime (talk) 01:22, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Thanks for the quick reply. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 01:24, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, I did some work on it. I'll need help, as I've only significantly contributed to two GAs to this point.  Enigma msg  08:44, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
