 * Surprised to hear that there are that many notable mosquitoes. I mean, I have never heard of one being awarded the OBE or anything, but you know best. Don't start them as BLPs, they will be dead before you finish the article. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:09, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Did you think WP:MOS stood for "Manual of Style"? Of course not, it means "notability of mosquitoes"! Anyway, the portrait article has cleared the 1,500 character limit, so get ready with the hooks. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  21:52, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

 * BTW I have a hard time believing that this is the only notable portrait entitled Queen Elizabeth II; Queen Elizabeth II (2016 painting) might be a better article title.

 * Thank you all above and ....will take another look. I don't think I can get Egyptian in articles...let me see. I have seen journals citing insects as passengers and hitch-hikers. Whispyhistory (talk) 04:44, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Well the Egyptian hook would have to be for April 1, and for that there's a little bit more latitude to put in, say, a footnote explaining the origin of the species name. <b style="color: red;">E</b><b style="color: blue;">Eng</b> 04:51, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Changed it to "with". Could be in luggage too I suppose. Philafrenzy (talk) 11:53, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The other Gatwick person was I think on a moving motorbike and hit by a mosquito in the wind..I'll find source. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:01, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I bet the mosquito wasn't wearing a helmet, and probably had no insurance either. Disgraceful. When will they ever learn? Philafrenzy (talk) 13:02, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the Daily Mail had a headline on them the other day. "BAN THESE SICK IMMIGRANTS!" Similar to this one, I believe. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  13:05, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I struggle at them as well; hopefully your new army of talk page stalkers can give it a go.

 * I moved it to mainspace. It clearly meets the GNG and apart from the name-dropping, which I removed, the tone is fine. It has a long list of third party reliable sources and doesn't read at all promotional to me. I don't believe that DGG should have reviewed the draft as they were the user that previously nominated it for deletion. A fresh pair of eyes would have been better.

 * I regularly do on talk pages but it's unusual in articles and I think frowned-upon, although I don't see anything in the MOS that says you can't.

DYK for Edith Campbell
Whispyhistory and, I objected to the hook that was edited in prep because (1) it is 196 characters long and (2) the part that seemed hooky, about the air raids, was moved to the very end. I wonder if we could work out a new hook and I'll substitute it in Prep 2.

Here is the original promotion:
 * ... that Canadian nurse Edith Campbell (pictured) received the Military Medal for her bravery during enemy air raids on her hospital in Étaples, France, during the First World War?

Here is the revised hook:
 * ... that Edith Campbell (pictured) served as a nurse at the No. 1 Canadian General Hospital in Étaples, France during the First World War, receiving the British Military Medal for bravery during German air raids?

I could understand how someone might get confused about the "her hospital" wording–i.e. that she was the owner. One idea is to change "on her hospital" to "at a hospital" in the first hook. I added some details from the source to the article, and would like to suggest this alt:


 * ALT2: ... that nurse Edith Campbell (pictured) was mentioned in dispatches and awarded the British Military Medal for bravery during enemy air raids at a hospital in Étaples, France, in 1917? Yoninah (talk) 18:47, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT3: ... that Canadian nurse Edith Campbell (pictured) was awarded the Military Medal for her bravery during air raids on a First World War hospital in France? Philafrenzy (talk) 21:27, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * That's good, . Do you want to add British Military Medal for those who think there's more than one? Yoninah (talk) 21:38, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think it needs it. It's factually correct and all readers will see is she got a medal for bravery. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:39, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * but it will add some international flavor to the hook as well, talking about 3 different countries. Yoninah (talk) 21:46, 20 June 2019 (UTC)


 * ALT4: ... that Canadian nurse Edith Campbell (pictured) was awarded the British Military Medal for her bravery during air raids on a First World War hospital in France? 3 or 4 are fine with me. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:02, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. I'm going with ALT4. Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Both work but honestly I think 3 is better. All those nations make it seem laboured and clunky and distract from the central point. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:37, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * all you're asking me to do is remove "British". But an administrator questioned if other countries had a military medal on the discussion page, and I have the feeling that an administrator will add in "British" anyway once it's in queue or on the main page. Yoninah (talk) 22:44, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The additional word seems to have an impact on the whole sentence making the focus the three countries rather than the award. British isn't needed as countries often give medals to foreign nationals. I believe that Maile was just double-checking and not making a strong objection. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:54, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm easy. I'll change it. But don't say I didn't warn you. Yoninah (talk) 22:58, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you and ...I have internet only intermittently over this weekend....Whispyhistory (talk) 06:16, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Not so much a DYK, more an "it's obvious when you think about it": minutes and seconds as measures of angles were invented by the Babylonians ca. 4000 years ago but minutes and seconds as measures of time are much more recent, the earliest mention being ca. 1235. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:17, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Robert Michael Forde
A Colonial Surgeon, and even worse a man, but he discovered the cause of sleeping sickness according to the source. Not mentioned in the article! Philafrenzy (talk) 10:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * A Watson moment...Interesting. You are right...Bruce discovered Trypanosoma brucei in cattle, but Forde discovered it in humans. In 1895, the Scottish pathologist and microbiologist David Bruce (1855–1931) discovered T. brucei as the cause of cattle trypanosomiasis (cattle nagana). The first unequivocal observation of trypanosomes in human blood was made by the British Colonial surgeon Robert Michael Forde (1861–1948) in 1901 when he examined a steamboat captain in The Gambia . Now what??? Whispyhistory (talk) 17:26, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * If only there was some sort of website where we could write it up with references so that the world could read about him... Philafrenzy (talk) 18:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Updates to "The Unsafe Asylum"
Whispyhistory--

Thank you for your updates to article "The Unsafe Asylum". You picked up on a number of things that needed work and you improved on the spelling, the style and the flow. So thank you for your additions.

This "thank you" is really my main message. However, I will add that I disagree with your additions of hyperlinks, with one exception. I think that linking to "Folie a Deux" is helpful, but not the others. For example, I don't see what benefit there is in linking to "navel". I assume that readers will know what a navel is, and I don't think this adds anything to the article, rather it introduces a (granted, very minor) kind of hiccup to the text. Similarly, I don't see the improvement in linking to "mental health" or "communal riots/religious violence". I'm not going to make any changes, but I wanted to at least state my opinion. Jkgree (talk) 22:39, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure......thanks for the thank you. I still plan to do some more editing on that article and will keep your suggestions in mind. Please do change anything if necessary...Whispyhistory (talk) 08:33, 11 July 2019 (UTC).

 * Are there WHO publications in pdf form you could add? Not websites, but things they have published as books in pdf form? Philafrenzy (talk) 18:28, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * WHO publications in alphabetical order ??Whispyhistory (talk) 18:30, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Bibliography of tuberculosis
This can be expanded gradually as you have time. There is a Helen Bynum book as I am sure you know. All the entries need to have already been identified as further reading in a RS about TB to avoid accusations of original research. These were from JISC. Feel free to add or rename sections. I have limited it to non-fiction at this stage. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:51, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks good. I'll tell her. Can you believe I have read a number of the ones you added. Some of them are very well known eg White Plague and the greatest story never told, which I have read twice.Whispyhistory (talk) 09:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no difficulty believing that. There is actually room for a second article or bibliography on TB in fiction. I am inclined to think that fiction and non-fiction bibliographies should be separate in order to avoid confusion. Philafrenzy (talk) 09:39, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There are opera, films etc too. Fiction sounds good but when will you stop? Whispyhistory (talk) 09:42, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There is no end in sight. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:31, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

My first DYK review
Hi - I was looking for an easy DYK now to do a review for the first time, and chose Template:Did you know nominations/J. R. L. Anderson because I was pretty sure you and Philafrenzy would know what you were doing! (Interesting article by the way.) I think I followed the instructions correctly, but the template doesn't seem to have moved into the 'Noms (approved)' section - have I goofed up, or is it just a case of waiting a bit for a bot to move it over? Cheers Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  18:23, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your detailed review. Someone else will take care of the rest of it. The second hook by the way was a sort of quirky one about his posthumous book being "late" so they have a choice of serious or quirky. Philafrenzy (talk) 19:21, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for explaining. Sorry I missed the double meaning in the second hook - I was a bit slow on the uptake, I see what you did there now. Girth Summit <sub style="font-family:script;color:blue;"> (blether)  19:59, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
