DYK for Emesa helmet

The WikiCup
As a WikiCup judge, I am disallowing your submission of the DYK for Emesa helmet as the article was worked on and nominated for DYK in 2017 and thus does not qualify for the 2018 WikiCup. This rule is explained more fully here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:45, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks . I had actually seen that discussion, but understood the takeaway to be that the article needed to have been expanded during 2018, which it was. As you said, "you cannot claim for articles you created or improved last year unless you have done significant amounts of work during 2018. For example, an article which appears on the main page in DYK now will only qualify if you created it or expanded it in 2018" (emphasis added). In the case of the Emesa helmet article, although I created it last year, I doubled it in size this year (from 2684 to 5194 characters, although for some reason the bot did not give the 5 point bonus for being over 5k). It's a minor point though, for as you said, these 5 or 10 points are unlikely to have a bearing on advancement to the second round. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:36, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * That's an interesting point. The WikiCup points are for doing work to qualify for DYK rather than just working on the article, and that work was done last year before the DYK nomination. You could take the article on to GA and earn another batch of points. The scoring bot seems to measure the size of articles at time of DYK nomination rather than at time of main page appearance. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:01, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Makes sense on the first point, . (It leaves open the question of a DYK that is nominated in 2017, but requires work in 2018 to be approved.) Since DYK points are only awarded when the articles appear on the main page, however, I wonder if that is when the bot should be tabulating their length? That's what I've been assuming, and, with articles such as Charles Phillips (archaeologist) and Torslunda plates, counting on; I had figured I could add text to them before they made the main page to get to 5k. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:22, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I remember being disappointed about that when I was a contestant. You could bring it up with Jarry1250 who runs the scoring bot if you wish. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:23, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Emesa helmet...
Just a quick note to say "well done" on the Emesa helmet article; I remember seeing pictures of it when I was younger, and it was great to suddenly find a cracking article had been written on it! Keep up the good work! Hchc2009 (talk) 17:31, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for dropping the note,, it's nice to hear that you enjoyed reading the article. We're lucky that there's just enough information published on the helmet (three articles, primarily) to support a fairly comprehensive article—unlike this extremely similar helmet. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:34, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Helmets
I'm enjoying your helmet articles, but I have one question, how do you demonstrate the reliability of "german-helmets.com"? The Rambling Man (talk) 12:22, 26 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, . As it seems unlikely that "because it's the only thing I could find online" will fly, I'll trot down to the library later today and pick up this book, which should do the trick. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:58, 26 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)


 * It's a good thing you brought that up, . The website (German-helmets.com) includes much of what is in the book, and also expands upon it (which the website alludes to here). Generally the website seems reliable, but the problem is that the book states "The weight of the steel helmet was about the same as the M 35 steel helmet, approximately 1900 grams. ... Even the SSK 90 helmet did not provide itself since it was not worn by flight personnel. Instead, the normal M 35 helmet was worn, but its sides had been reworked by technicians. An outward bulge was pressed into each side so that headphones could be worn." If this is true, it suggests that the weight of the helmet is not why it was withdrawn. In the light of these conflicting statements, there are at least two options:
 * 1) Abbreviate the hook to "that the SSK 90 helmet was withdrawn from Luftwaffe service after 18 days?", which is supported by the book.
 * 2) Switch to ALT2, which is, I think, more interesting. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * ALT2 all the way, definitely. Thanks for your diligence.  The Rambling Man (talk) 22:44, 26 January 2018 (UTC)


 * And thanks for yours, . I've struck ALT3 (the dead hook) on the review page. Does the page need to be placed back on the main DYK nomination page? --Usernameunique (talk) 06:16, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I shouldn't think so, we can just adjust the hook in the prep/queue (wherever it's got to by now!), although if it's in a queue we'll need an admin to do that. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:12, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Coppergate helmet reversion
Hi again,

I note you'd revered a ref to public display in the Yorkshire Museum in the 1980s here: it's not yet clear but I think at least part of it may have been on display before it was restored but post-conservation (i.e. in the condition it was photographed in for this: http://samla.raa.se/xmlui/bitstream/handle/raa/2473/1983_105.pdf). That the Pyrah 'History of the Yorkshire museum' book explicitly said it was first put on display seemed fairly conclusive to me, but if Tweddle contradicts this we might need to go digging some more. I'd be tempted to prioritise Pyrah over Tweddle as it is a) earlier (1988), and b) written by a Keeper of the museum about recent changes to the spaces and exhibitions. Perhaps that's my bias; worth discussing.

The helmet was certainly in the collections of the castle museum for most of its duration even though this might not necessarily have meant it was displayed there throughout. Both the CM and the YM were ran by the City of York Council at this point so I'm not sure what the cross-site working relationships were through most of it. Once YMT was created in 2002 the two sites definitely became more inter-connected. The accession number prefix "YORCM" places it in the castle museum collection for accessioning purposes, even though it has since moved to the Yorkshire Musuem (YORYM) in conceptual terms as part of the Archaeology collection since 2002. In any case, the Castle Museum accessioned it because they had the curator of Military History on staff (Keith Matthews).

Must be photo's knocking about and new articles about the displays in the early 1980s that I can try and dig out. I've currently found some really cool new reports about the City Council blocking it's sale from, I think, the York Evening Press. There are three clippings in the YM archive which I've got a hold of and will try and track down proper dates for them in due course. Cheers. Zakhx150 (talk) 09:48, 2 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Hey there, thanks for the message, and sorry for not touching base with you about it myself. Feel free to add back any of the information you think appropriate, and we can figure it out a bit as we go; you're definitely the expert here, and have more resources at hand than do I.


 * In terms of the timeline, the helmet was found in May 1982, and was roughly stabilized (out of the gas box) by mid-June, though still undergoing conservation work. From June of the following year until February 1984 it was at the British Museum for the restoration work. That leaves a period of June 1982 to June 1983 in which it could have been displayed in its unrestored state (i.e., the photo you linked), before being displayed permanently from 1984 on. You're likely right that this was indeed done.


 * According to Pyrah, "In 1980 the British Museum mounted an International Viking Exhibition, and donated £30,000 to the Yorkshire Museum, to be put towards the costs of providing a permanent gallery to display the Museum's Coppergate material, which is based on finds from previous excavations in the 1930's as well as those discovered by the Trust." Especially as the donation was made before the helmet's discovery, I read "Coppergate material" to mean primarily the materials found in earlier excavations (e.g., from 1976 to 1981), not the finds, such as the helmet, discovered during the watching brief maintained for the Jorvik Viking Centre work. Additionally, since according to Pyrah the exhibition The Vikings of England started in 1981 in Denmark and in March 1982 in York, it would have had to be conceived before the helmet's discovery. But since it closed in October, it's also possible that the helmet was added mid-exhibition—any museum would certainly be glad to showcase it!


 * Regarding where it was displayed, I'm mostly going off a number of newspaper clippings. Its described as being in the Castle Museum in April 1984, October 1987, and December 1998. (Of course, it's also possible that they're being imprecise, confused over the distinction between accession and display.) It definitely also traveled during this time, as evidenced by its inclusion in a 1991 BM exhibition.


 * At any rate, I'll do some more digging (though going to be a bit busy for the next few days). Interesting that selling the helmet was considered! Would love to hear more about that. Apparently it was appraised at $750,000 in 1983. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:03, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Robert Howard Hodgkin
The Bunny Berigan article is not similar, given that that is where the article is located. Hodgkin was nicknamed 'Robin' but there is no evidence he was widely known by it. This is similar to someone calling David Beckham "Dave". GiantSnowman 16:20, 2 April 2018 (UTC)


 * , I see your point in that the two examples given at WP:ALTNAMES (Bunny Berigan and Tom Hopper) have the nickname in the article name. However, I don't think "Dave" as a nickname for "David" is an accurate parallel, as "Robin" is not (as far as I'm aware) a common nickname for "Robert." Per WP:ALTNAMES, "If a person is commonly known by a nickname that is not a common hypocorism (diminutive) of their name, used in lieu of a given name, it is presented between quote marks following the last given name or initial ... If a person has a well-known common hypocorism, used in lieu of a given name, it is not presented between quote marks following the last given name or initial." Do you disagree? The nickname is included elsewhere in the article, so in the end it's not a big deal if we remove it from the lead. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Robert into Robin is not usual these days, but it's originally a diminutive (see Robin (name)), in the same way that Henry→Harry and John→Jack have given rise over time to established separate names. Removing it from the lede and mentioning it in passing in the 'early life' section is fine, I think. GiantSnowman 16:09, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


 * , removed it from the lead. I think it's debatable—WP:ALTNAMES distinguishes between common and uncommon diminutive names—but the nickname is mentioned further down, so it's not a big deal. It may also have been more of a familiar nickname (i.e., what his friends called him) than a permanent nickname (e.g., a Thomas who exclusively goes by Tom), and so less important to include so early in the article. Thanks for bringing up the issue. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:38, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Many thanks! GiantSnowman 07:24, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Descendants
Not sure I understand the logic of this edit. He had a wife and children, sure; further descendants, not so much. Is the point that the grandchildren were born before he died, or that they existed at all? If the former, why do we care? If the latter, surely we would need to constantly update the article in case the children or grandchildren subsequently had additional children? Nikkimaria (talk) 15:05, 21 April 2018 (UTC)


 * , it doesn't matter much either way; the main reasons I included that were 1) there's not much information about his life, so it was something else to say, and 2) a general preference for more, rather than less, information. It is somewhat hard to see what specifically you disagree with when you remove parts of an article in their entirety (including the parts about Storms's wife/children, which has some relevance as you said), although I understand that restructuring language can be time consuming, especially when copyediting numerous DYK articles.


 * Thanks, by the way, for your earlier points about obituary-esque language such as "survived by". Much as some articles written beforehand have not yet been updated, such as (until now) this one, the advice is well taken. --Usernameunique (talk) 15:33, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I get that when there's not much to say, we want to say more. I'm just not sure that this particular "more" is worth saying, particularly since it would be very challenging to keep accurate. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:36, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Greta Arwidsson thesis
Hello Usernameunique,

Great start on your article about Greta Arwidsson! Just want you to be aware that Worldcat lists two different versions of her PhD thesis that are currently available for interlibrary loan. There is a Swedish language version, which I would assume as the original since it was written at Uppsala University, and is listed as OCLC 872286610 and it appears to be available from 2 Danish libraries. The German language version that is listed as OCLC 906391481 and it appears to be available from 6 American libraries. I would assume that the German version was written for an international audience outside of Sweden while the "original" Swedish version was written for obtaining her degree from a Swedish university. Not sure why Worldcat would list the Swedish version with a German title though.

I will let you decide which is the best way to present this information that would be most useful to persons who might actually want to read her thesis. Your article, your call. -- 108.71.214.235 (talk) 07:02, 5 May 2018 (UTC)


 * , interesting, thanks for bringing that to my attention. My library has the German copy stored offsite, so just asked them to scan the front matter; should get it either tomorrow or on Monday, and that will hopefully shed some light on it. I'll edit the article accordingly—also need to incorporate the new source (Birgit Arrhenius)—but please feel free to make your own edits as well! Your edits are appreciated, and my reformatting of your additions was just to keep the structure of the article consistent. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:09, 5 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I am glad that some of my suggest may be of use to you. If you are going to ask your library to haul a copy of her thesis out of an offsite repository, it may not be a bad ideal to also get copies of the abstract, table of contents, acknowledgement, and autobiography pages (assuming that your library is not charging you by the page for this service). Basically, any pages prior to the main section might provide useful background information. However, a re-publication for a broader audience may have this information reduced to lower printing costs.


 * BTW, does any of her biographies list her place of death? If so, it needs to be added to the Infobox. -- 108.71.214.235 (talk) 07:27, 5 May 2018 (UTC)


 * (do these pings work, by the way, being an IP address user?), good point. Best way will be to consult it in person (asking for too much via scanning tends to be counterproductive, i.e., you end up with less), which I can do sometime next week. I haven't seen her place of death, but added that she is buried in Uppsala old cemetery. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Ping does not appear to be designed to work for IP address users. Your observations about library staff provided scans is a good point, but may not be true for some large state university libraries that are receiving huge grants to digitize their entire physical holdings. There has been a few times that I had received a pdf from another university in another state instead of the journal being retrieved from a local off campus repository because it was easier that way. Have you seen the titles of her publication available at the Uppsala University Library? Go to the page and search by Picture ID for Picture ID: 15136 and Picture ID: 15137. -- 108.71.214.235 (talk) 10:22, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
