Trefasser
You might find enough info in google books to expand this beyond a stub.... ALso see Castell Poeth, the article can contain asummary of it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  03:53, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

That's fine, thanks. Looks good.♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:27, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I added a bit but you did a very good job of making it comprehensive already using the sources available.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:16, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

If you're wondering why I haven't been editing so much of late I've got the flu! Interested in expanding Jauja, a major Peruvian city? I think I'll make start translating from spanish wiki. Can you translate the history from spanish, there's more here. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:56, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah I haven't felt so achy the last few days but in a way I've felt worse as its kind of spread to my head and infected my ears. I've got this constant ringing in my right ear and my head feels numb which is horrid. Every time I swallow it sounds like a Coca Cola can crunching in my ear LOL! Should clear up within a few days. That was why I started Trefasser at 3 am here as I had gone to sleep at 8 pm and woke up in the early hours and couldn't sleep any more!♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:02, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

We could probably do one for Tunantada too as a double.

I also have a potential double lined up for Millennium Bailey's Hotel and James Bailey (UK politician). He was a notable hotelier, see the history of Bailey's ref. If you are interested that is. If not no worries I'll probably only do the hotel for DYK.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:34, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I guess London doesn't appeal to you!!♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:04, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I did wonder because when I said about the Belgravia article you said it didn't appeal to you! I've nominated the Bailey's Hotel but if you have anything to add or want to expand James Bailey (UK politician) using the hotel history source and other sources I'll turn it into a double nom DYK for both of us. You've got up to a week though, you probably don't feel like it right now. Sorry to hear you are unwell, perhaps you caught it online from me!! My ear is feeling a little better after I poured a load of salt into a cup added water and tipped it in my ear! Hopefully it will kill the bacteria. Too much water on the brain immediately afterwards though seriously affects your vision eveyrthing was spinning for about five minutes after I did that! Seems to be working though!♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:39, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Sounds like flu, its that time of year when the weather starts to change, although living in California people are probably still sunning it in shorts!I have jeans and a short sleeved military shirt on today as it is quite warm here today as it is quite warm!! Get better soon.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

I've started Lake Amaramba and Lugenda River. If you can find any info on them please expand, if not don't worry.♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:26, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Great, is it a 5 x expansion though?♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:00, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Just bad timing that's all, I've barely been on wikipedia all day...♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:48, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Excellent work! Amazed I found an image for with! I'll changr the hook and credit you. I've just started expanding Koserow which needs a little bit more to pass DYK but don't want to exert you. How are you feeling?♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:44, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Afraid to say my ear is much worse today. Really affects your balance too having a bad ear. How are you feeling? Thimphu is about to be GA reviewed. Could you help with the copyediting? ♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:26, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Shame that is was failed without a chance. Ah well. I've started Messalo River and Negomano (blue linked in the Lugenda article), It has quite a few hits in google books, a DYK on a Mozambiquan border village would be great! Biographically my next expansion will be Gabriele Ferzetti. major Italian actor. His article should be much better than it is. Interested? Much of his film work can be written based on observations from Italian film sites. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:25, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I've expanded Gabriele Ferzetti will source it tomorrow. Woukd you be interested in transwikying/expanding Accademia Nazionale d'Arte Drammatica?♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:17, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Nice one. I've added the alumni from Italian wiki but the list is huge, do you think we should split that section into a sub article Alumni...?♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:29, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Also I moved the title to english but it doesn't feel right. Should it be in Italian?♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:32, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I've started Silvio D'Amico but it needs sourcing and expansion..♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:50, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Central America
Nice one, I'll add an infobox and see if I can find something else shortly. Are you interested in in doing more on Guatamala and Honduras municipalities. Many of the articles are one line unreferenced stubs still. I think Guatemala is the country which most fascinates me in central America, followed by Bolivia in South America. I love photographs of these places,. I did a fair bit of work on El Salvador too in the past which is also very interesting. I've requested to borrow a book on Guatemala from my sister tomorrow. It won't have stacks of info but might have some.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Probably Antigua cofee given its proximity to Antigua, Guatemala.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:16, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

have you seen this site. Great source for expanding any of the Guatemalan municipalities. Click a department and then municipality.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh, only some are clickable. We could probably expand Jocotenango.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:31, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I've begun expanding Ataq which may interest you. Also Hajjah and Hajjah Governorate could be expanded using this as a start. I'll begin expanding Jocotenango tomorrow.♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:12, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, the inforpress site has some history on it. Click down the sides on the Jocotenango page it has history and all that here.♦ Dr. Blofeld  23:17, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Don't want to burden a load but an editor I've been in contact with has created some new Tenerife stubs. In this coming week you may wish to further expand Castillo de San Cristóbal (Santa Cruz de Tenerife), Castillo de San Juan Bautista or Iglesia de San Andrés (Tenerife). All look very interesting.♦ Dr. Blofeld  23:35, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Can you unblock Kaster, for some reason a full block has been put on it not a semi.♦ Dr. Blofeld  00:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Can you help format the references properly for this article. I think its the only thing which may prevent it from passing GA.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

ALso you may wish to add a bit to Achany, there should be some stuff on the wind farm etc. Also Achentoul needs a little more to make start class.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:49, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Have you tried exploring Scotland on google street view full screen. You'll fall in love with the place. Browse along the roads here along the loch.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Lafiteau and Fohoren also require your inputs/improvements, you'll be lucky to find info for the first one in particular though. I'll ease off for a few days now and resume with my Antarctica articles.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:44, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh one more, Ladislav Žák. I think with a bit of work it could get up to DYK level. Google translate the source given should turn up more info, should be plenty of sources although most in Czech. I've invited a Czech speaking editor to join us with this particular article to proof read it also. Promise I won't throw anythin at you at least for a few days hehe!!♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I've nominated them I think. Thanks for your help with the referencing.

The articles on Californian towns are shocking aren't they!!! Most of them represent everything I detest about articles, long scruffy lists of schools with url links, lack of decent photographs, unsourced barely readible history, lists of city govenrors in bloated tables, bare URL links in the few references given, nasty looking maps and bright yellow nav boxes.

Sigh, it took we a whole hour just to clean up 3 articles and even then they are in desperate need of rewriting and sourcing. Could you help rewrite the history of Altadena, California and source it? For some reason somebody though it appropriate to have most of the history in the article introduction.♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:57, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Excellent job.♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, what are your views about California, well US general place articles on here? Even the stuff that is referenced, Rambot's demographics are now 10 years out of date and will need updating when the new census results come out!♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:36, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Is there much historical info for them online? Its just a lot of them are unsourced. A good egg is Montebello, California. I wish they could all be up to a similar level. A lot of them however look like Lakewood, California which is sad to see. I love California and the states and having been to some of the cities on here which have lacking articles its disappointing to see given the amount of people who could edit them! Because I generally get the impression that the articles will be like Lakewood I don't tend to browse the US much on here which is wrong because I'm interested in it like anywhere else but the sheer cleanup stresses me out in browsing them! What part do you live, you can tell me by email if you like. I could help you improve some local county articles if you like.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:49, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Some of them aren't that bad, the main problem is the formatting, lots of ugly lists of schools and businesses, bulleted points and bare URL links with a lack of photos. I think I'll resume with Los Angeles County cleanup maybe. I'll resume with Highland, Scotlanf in a few days. IN the next few days I want to get more Antarctica articles started and to create some more Burma stubs. I live in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan BTW. The nearest monument of note is Tinkinswood. You can view my town on google earth at here in google street view if you wish. I live in the northwestern part, Highlight Park overlooking the green fields. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:02, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

On google maps if you type in St Andrews Major. Zoom in, that's the church which is marked if you view it from road in google street view its beautiful, one of my favourite local spots actually.♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:11, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Excellent work!♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

If you are interested in East Timor I think we could do a double hook for Fohoren and José Celestino da Silva a very notable governor. Feel free also to add to Makambako if you wish, I've nominated it already for DYK but you might find something else and be credited, no worries if not.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:34, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll try to expand it tomorrow. I tried to add a little bit this morning but I'm not feeling well, I won't be editing much today.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:41, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Eric Durchholz
Hi, checking this article it does not appear to meet WP:AUTHOR with the sources already quoted. I can see you were involved in raising and discussion an original speedy (2 years ago) but I wondered if you would recommend against me raising an AFD? I could use the notability maintenance tag but I can see earlier improvement tags have been removed. This might be slightly controversial if there is some COI involved and I would like to carefully follow the WP:BEFORE guidance. If you would prefer me to skip this one I would respect your judgement. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 15:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

A-Z
Hi, thanks. I've added to the people article. Check out this. Its a new challenge for us which both Nvvchar and I have thought would be interesting. If you aren't interested don't worry but I thought you might be interested in it. Its a long term challenge, so no rush. If you can think of anymore entities please add them!

I've begun adding articles with a lovely mix. If you are interested please find one for whatever country and list it with a photo in the list. Its a good chance to get in some requests you want expanded for each country. Entries are to be either small stubs currently or non existent articles and those which have plenty of sources in google web/books. Generally they are to be on countries/towns/mountains.lakes/rivers/national parks etc and cultural e.g churches, museums, palaces, mansions, parks and anything culturally related like peoples, artifacts etc. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:50, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

We'll wait until Nvvchar returns to India to begin on that. Meanwhile I've started expanding Gondreville, Loiret and Tirana County, the latter was a request. There is mention of a Gondreville manor being linked to Napolean, perhaps you could see if this is the village it is in, there are 3 Gondrevilles.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Gracias. Rosie can you see if you can improve the geography/climate section for Lhasa and the needed sections in User:Nvvchar/Sandbox 1. Its a beautiful city and a holy one of course!♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:17, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I've added the sections which need expansion in the Lhasa article, I know they like their yak's butter and tsampa in Lhasa! Id Gah Mosque has been expanded as part of our "A-Z". I've begun expanding Samangan Province and Samangan which you may which to also edit, don't worry if not.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Recent articles are Khulm River and Pomegranate production in Afghanistan. Both can be expanded substantially I think. There should be a lot more to write about the new Omaid Bahar processing plant in Kabul related to the pomegranates. SOme interesting historical info too here. Khulm will probably be a double hook with Samangan city.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:20, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, yeah I have one today too and don't feel as energetic as yesterday. Hope you feel better soon.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:32, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Can you see if you can find some additional sources for Sanapia in google books or whatever?♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:53, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rosie. Yes of course I'll look at those shortly. I created a bunch of Indonesian rivers yesterday most of them too stubby for my liking.

I've translated the church info for Religion in San Marino from Italian wikipedia. Sources now need to found to support it. We might find some external links in the Italian wikipedia articles for these churches for potential sources.

I've added a few sources, although a few sections need some more. Can you add info on the remaining churches at here. It is already used a source in the article but there are some missing notable churches needing adding. If you use google translate it should mostly translate very well to get the main facts. We need another San Marino article now for the A-Z thing now, please choose one. We could do Basilica di San Marino if there is enough potential sources and already has info on it in the religion article.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:28, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Oo OK. We could do both of course. The Basilica article is already half written in the religion article. At the moment I'm creating some articles on Bishops of Montefeltro.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:36, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

I did look into it and found some history but it will require a big combined effort to get it up to scratch! If we can find enough sources for Kastelholm Castle and Brändö we can expand those if you are interested. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:42, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Wow Rosie, really amazing work! I've nommed all the Abkhazia and Aland ones now. Next is Braye Harbour and Saint Anne, Alderney for the lovely Channel Island of Alderney. Not sure if enough sources can be found for Saint Anne but we'll see. I've started Alderney Society Museum which might interest you.♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:43, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Also you might be interested in adding to Tamoyot. There seems to be a number of reports on it by major global groups.... Can't find the coordinates though.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:53, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry. Can you see if you can de stub Belvedere, United States Virgin Islands? How about Sugar production in the United States Virgin Islands. The two can then be nominated as a double... There is a wonderful resource and images located here and here. I think they might be public domain images. Very interesting stuff. There's loads of info in the side heading pages on sugar mills, notable plantations owners and families, even the houses of the owners to make it more comprehensive and should be loads to be found on it in google books and elsewhere... This has potential to be a good article I think... ♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:10, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

You haven't missed much. I've not been working on the A-Z the last few days to give you a chance to catch up. Shame about your computer. I would have asked you to help work with me on George J. Geis, Kutkai or Sugar production in the United States Virgin Islands. The latter can still be expanded if you are interested. I was hoping Nvvchar would have liked it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello Rosie
Hello Rosie How are you? I haven't heard much from you lately! Everything OK I hope. Thanks for your edits to Ghardaia and the "spring". I've nominated the Algerian ones for DYK, I'll nominate the spring article tomorrow, unless you beat me to it. There is an article which I forgot about. Pakxan which I started the other day translating from French wiki but it needs cleanup and translating properly and more sources. It is a major town in Laos and even appears in my basic world atlas yet was missing! ALso if you are still interested in African tribes Barozwi is a notable one I spotted missing from Zimbabwe.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:28, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Nono. Kanmaw Kyun not Kyan!!♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:04, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

LOL. The name of the island is Kanmaw Kyun. Both Kanmaw Island and Kanmaw Kyan should be redirected to Kanmaw Kyun...... I would have moved Kanmaw Island to Kanmaw Kyun myself but as I don't have an admin account I was not permitted to override it.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:21, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Well done Rosie!♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:41, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Rosie I've begun a big translation of Montevideo the capital city of Uruguay at WikiProject Uruguay/Montevideo. Can you help me translate it. It may take a week to fully translate and fully write. It doesn't need to be done immediately and can be gradual... Once the translation is done it can further be expanded, there must be a wealth of sources on it. But if you look at the current state of it the only decent part of it is the history and even that needs improving. I'll also invite a few more Spanish translators to help so between us we ought to be able to accomplish it..♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it it great to work with people. Most of the time on wikipedia I just felt alone with little article support in the old days. We are doing Uruguay at the moment seems as we did Parque Batlle. Can you help translate the sports and transport sections WikiProject Uruguay/Montevideo? ONce that is done and referenced cleaned up we can begin beefing up on the landmarks so it qualifies for a x 5 expansion.. I've added expand tags on the sections which need writing. Also the history needs to include info about the Independence from Portugal/Brazil. Also I started Burma Art Club which might interest you, if not don't worry.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:12, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

ooh, excellent Rosie! I'll nom it later. I haven't nommed Parque Batlle yet because I'm hoping we'll get Montevideo done within about 5 days and we can double nom them... Rosie can you add some meaty sections to WikiProject Uruguay/Montevideo on Parque Prado, Parque Rodó and the Metropolitan Cathedral. Also the museums need more flesh to them like I;ve done with Museo Torres García and the beaches need writing about. A lot of info for those of course is in Spanish on their official site or in google books or whatever. The article needs to be over 135 kb to qualify for the DYK its on 105 kb already, it should be very comprehensive when complete.. Hope it is of interest to you, I really need your help on this!. Don't be put off by the current size of the article. At least 50 kb of it will be filtered out, it is in need of writing properly and balancing out and then condensing. It had to be bulked out first so it eventually ends up being comprehensive. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:45, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello! No, just condensing the article. I really think we need to be bold now with shortening it and filling the weak sections. i'll remove the tag, feel free to edit.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:41, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Hoverfish is working on the hospitals I think. Once the biggie is removed and the information whittled down it will be down to 120kb and even then the info on the plaza independencia can really be cut. Its currently down to 149kb. I think there are way too many architecture sub headings. A lot of the info should be summarised and sourced and condensed into neat paragraphs I think. Like most of the article related to the old city should be written into it as prose without breaks..♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:50, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

OK I'll let you start on that! I don't like the intro to it either. If you look on google maps you can mention the landmarks in the intro and then summarise the Old City as one I think. The Metropolitan Cathedral really ought to be written tinto it but I needed to start the religion section.. Feel free to translate that, condense it and write it in too!♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:00, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

You can paste the translated info for Plaza Independencia in the Montevideo into this article if you like or salvage what you can..♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:01, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Kyun
Just so you know, "Kyun" is Burmese for "Island". Kancaw is the common name of the island, but there is some question about whether Kancaw is more common without the "kyun". --Bejnar (talk) 19:46, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

No it isn't. My national geographic atlas, the Collins map on my wall all state Kanmaw Kyun as do many other reputable various sources I scouted for. I would not have asked that it be moved to Kanmaw Kyun if I wasn't sure that this name is used more by respectable sources. Kyun does mean island but it is labelled as "Kanmaw Kyun" on enough maps to make this appropriate.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:07, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

The idea was to nominate Parqe Battle with Montevideo. I am about to nom... Battle was only made on November 14, surely there is aover a 5 day threshold??♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:24, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

If you can we can d o double with Jennifer Frautschi which I started but needs more sources.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:41, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, there are certain years from certain countries which you could write a great deal for. Given that wikipedia is attempting to document the sum of human knowledge such articles documenting history in detail by country should really be drawn up. As a reference point I think it is essential. Can you expand Cotton production in Azerbaijan and then nominate?♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Nice. I'm just merging some scruffy lists into pages like 1970s in jazz, 1960s in jazz and 1950s in jazz ....♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:07, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Music might not be your thing but with some sources and more info about each year 1970s in jazz could probably look quite decent.. Google book 1970s jazz or 1971 jazz or jazz fusion 1970s or something would turn up heaps I'm sure... No probs though if that is not to your taste...♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:09, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks,Yeah I agree Rosie about the sandboxes, that's why I didn't used to like writing articles in sandboxes because when they are copied and pasted into workspace it didn't actually reflect how much work went into the article. I prefer my blood sweat and tears to be clear in the history, I'm sure you knw what I mean. I would rather write articles in the mainspace, the only problem is with DYK there is a time limit and I don't like to feel rushed. BTW if you tried to move the sandbox into the mainspace it wouldn't allow you because the Coffee production article already existed. Besides that particular sandbox has tons of earlier article writing history. What I recommend is we write the article e.g User:Nvvchar/Coffee production in India and get an admin to move it into the mainspace to overide it. Rosie you are an admin and should be able to do that ok? Only problem is that I don't know if it is possible as it would overide existing article history, unless it is a brand new article. Sorry, Nvvchar have done that a lot and credited each other in doing so, we hadn't done a collaboration with you in a sandbox previously. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:46, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

I will look at the Gruta article tomorrow morning but looks its already well written. Rosie this might be too obscure for you but can you add the dates and death numbers to History of hotel fires in the United States from the ref 1 and see if you find some info about each of the fires. i know hotel fires are not generally number 1 priority but the National FIre Agency only lists these hotel as those which claimed over 10 lives are therefore regarded by them as notable fires. judging by the Lansing fire and 1978 holidat inn fire it should be easy to find some sources to write about each. Don't worry if not, but if not please say so, I won't be offended!. I wouldn't have thought to start this normally but I wrote the 1978 fire currently at AFD where i proposed a merger into such an article..♦ Dr. Blofeld  23:17, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

 * However, I have the following suggestions for the hooks for the two articles.

Hook 1...that Monchique Islet (pictured) in Azores, the westernmost point of Europe functioned as an astronomical navigational guide and reference mark to mariners to calibrate their navigational equipment?

Hook 2 ...that the Gruta das Torres cave (pictured) is stated to be the second largest in Azores and 7th largest in the world?

OK, thanks, hope you enjoy the movies! I will look at Gruta shortly see if there is anything I can add. Thanks for nomming the Guinean politicians.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:19, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I think the paragraph on Winecoff Hotel should be the longest and the MGM section needs cutting down and rewriting concisely with more sources I think. It should be a great article in a day or two!! You're not still angry with me for taking the previous article out of the sandbox I hope?♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:21, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh OK!! LOL. Well as long as the nomination doesn't dampen the editing on the article. There's still a fair bit to do fleshing out the sections. I actually noticed that the historic hotel La Salle Hotel in Chicago is missing completely it is currently a redirect to a crummy Houston hotel of much less grandeur... Something to keep in mind... BTW if you can add a line or two to 1924 in jazz its viable for DYK I think. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:29, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

As long as Nvvchar fixed it I dunno. I gather music or jazz is not your thing?♦ Dr. Blofeld  22:31, 4 December 2010 (UTC) ‎ No no... just hadn't gotten to it yet. Love to listen to jazz but I don't play it. By years of training on a baby grand when I was young, I can say I am a classical piano player... but I wouldn't dare call myself a pianist as I'm just not that good. Neither of my current homes has a piano... could kick myself for getting rid of the beautiful upright I had until recently. --Rosiestep (talk) 22:40, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Me too. I trained as a classical pianist as a kid and neglected the piano for guitar. I'm gradually teaching myself to play again but jazz is incredibly complex and I'm a lousy player at the moment.... I love this.♦ Dr. Blofeld  23:12, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Comparing lengths of caves given in two different time periods is difficult to justify. I have not been able to find any latest book reference so far. On the Island article, I have fixed the references. Here also the book references give different figures. I have maintained figures given in Dyndnsk book as correct and other differing figures are mentioned in brackets with the reference. If you feel that the second figure given in brackets is not required then it can be deleted. In Wachau article also there is a problem of latest references being quoted by wine expert differing from the book quoted in the article.

I have this suggestion for the hook ...that the San Andrés (island) has been described as "Geographically near Nicaragua, past historically tied to England, and politically part of Colombia ?, if it is acceptable to you.

copyright status George C. Carlson, Jr.
Hi Rosiestep,

The article George C. Carlson, Jr., which you created, seems to be copied more or less verbatim from the State of MS's website. Do you know if material on the Judiciary's website is subject to copyright? There isn't a copyright notice on the courts website, but much state information is and mississippi.gov states that you should assume everything you read on that site is copyrighted.

Thanks, GabrielF (talk) 02:52, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello - I responded to a request on the Supreme Court of Mississippi page to split up the large article. Probably because of the original copyvio, someone subsequently deleted much of this history, including the template tag requesting article split. At the time, however, as I was unaware there might be a copyvio issue, I just split up a very long article and I didn't check if the material had an issue, rather I assumed it didn't. I split off several of the justices. If you look at the George C. Carlson, Jr. article history, you'll see this as the create entry. If I recall, later, someone found copyright issues with the original Supreme Court of Mississippi article, and therefore the justice articles that were split off as well. When it was brought to my attention, I cleaned up all the articles that were considered a problem at the time. This is what I remember about an issue that I thought had been resolved a long time ago. However, if you look at my edit history back then, that might be helpful as a reconstruct? Let me know if there's something else that needs to be done in this regard. Thanks! --Rosiestep (talk) 03:56, 9 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response. I thought maybe the courts put their material in the public domain or something. I nominated the page for speedy deletion because of the copyvio issue. GabrielF (talk) 04:38, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Would it be worthwhile for me to check and see if anything is salvageable vs. a speedy delete? --Rosiestep (talk) 04:44, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

I found some additional references but I'll leave it for someone else to deal with the article's future. I think I've handled it enough. :) --Rosiestep (talk) 05:01, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

On Friday I met up with the eucalyptus scientist, Dr. Dean Nicolle. He measured the large Eucalyptus deanei at Woodford.

He mentioned that someone wrote an article about his arboretum at Currency Creek. He didn't know where the article came from. But I think he appreciated it all the same.

Incidentally, many of my ancestors are buried nearby at Currency Creek cemetery. I like your article on the Currency Creek Arboretum.

Thank you for your interest in the great group of plants, known as the eucalyptus.

See http://reftag.appspot.com/. You can paste in the url of a google book source and it will draw the ref up for you instantly. I will show you how to programme your monobook so you can have a gb ref icon on the itinery at the top of the page. Let me know which skin you use and what web browswe and I'll show you. It should greatly cut down on time drawing up references.♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:41, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Nice work! Yeah it saves a lot of time and I can add more sources than I normally have time or the patience for.

OK. Go into your preferences. Click monobook js at the end. Copy the follow text and paste it in: The first is a quick link to google books to save you having to go externally. The second is your google book ref tools to quick draw up citations:

addOnloadHook(function {   addPortletLink('p-cactions','http://books.google.com/','GB','ca-gb');  }); addOnloadHook(function { addPortletLink('p-cactions','http://reftag.appspot.com/','GB ref','ca-gb ref');  });

OK save it. Now hold down Ctrl, Shift (upwards arrow on mine) and r. Now move on and the two highly useful links should be reasily accesible at the top of your toolbar next to history, move, watch etc.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:07, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas
Hi Rosie ji It is nice nice knowing through this medium. It is Christmas eve for you there this evening. My best wishes to you and your family for a very happy Christmas and New Year.-- <span style="color:#fef;background:	#191970;">N.V.V. Char     Talk. 13:06, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Merry Christmas dear Rosie!! I wondered if you would be interested in expanding Jamaica Inn. It has an extremely interesting history and was frequented by highwaymen. Its like something out of a Robert Louis Stevenson novel. I wonder if there are enough sources to qualify for a x5 expansion.Have a watch of this Fascinating stuff..♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:50, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Jamaica Inn
I have added more text. Hopefully it is closer to 5x. I have added three new references which you my find interesting though I have added most of the relevant portion. It is good article which should see the lead on DYK. Aruba chapel article is now lead in the DYK queue. -- <span style="color:#fef;background:	#191970;">N.V.V.

I've begun on User:Nvvchar/Songgwangsa. You will find a wealth of material about it in the Buswell book listed in the bibliography from pages 50-65, on its official website and other sources.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:36, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

You also might be interested in expanding Jules Monchanin.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:41, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

That's odd. I added a ref to the part I wrote but Nvv wrote the intro... It will need asserting and agreeing qho founded it and during what dynasty!♦ Dr. Blofeld  20:06, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I've asked a question there regarding the text of the book used to cite the hook (not using DYKproblem since it's not a problem per se (hopefully I'm using that right)). --Dylan620 (t • c • r) 01:59, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * All queries on caves have been addressed. On Songgwangsa, I have nothing more to add since Dr B has addressed the issues of tags. You may please nominate it on DYK. DYK that 13 of our articles made it to the lead on the main page in December. Thanks.-- Nvvchar . 02:21, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
