Feedback to ForteTuba 10th May 2006

Ref.: SuggestBot: This was a rewarding and interesting experience. Thanks for sending it! I'm game for another go .... I'm sorry it's taken a long time but I was also following my own editing agenda meanwhile. I hope the feedback is useful.Ballista 06:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Here is my feedback on Articles suggested by SuggestBot:

(Where it says 'done', it doesn't necessarily mean I've shot my bolt - more a matter of doing as much as I can at the moment Ballista 06:31, 10 May 2006 (UTC))

Stubs

• Therapeutic touch (this appears to be tainted with POV)
• Proctor Silex (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
• Pterodactyl (done)
• Applied kinesiology (this appears to be tainted with POV)
• Undead (film) (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
• RAC Rally (done)
• Saab 600 (done)
• Saab Formula Junior (done)
• Chalk stream (done)
• Gary L. Francione (I don’t have any new info to add)
• Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (done)
• Apitherapy (this appears to be slightly tainted with POV – it is in need of a re-write in places)
• Saab Toad (done)
• Valmet (done)
• Glauconite (done)
• Thermosphere (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
• Uusikaupunki (I’ll do it!)
• Saab Monster (done)
• Ear candling (this appears to be tainted with POV – as with so many other ‘alternative therapies’, what is needed is a basic, objective, non-POV rewrite)

Cleanup

• Terry Lake (cleanup attempt made)
• Timothy Spall (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
• Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Perugia (not found!)

Merge

• Saab Sonett IV (I’ve voted for it to merge [on both pp])(since merged by consensus with User:Liftarn)
• Proof (rapper) (article locked by 15th April 2006) Later opened OK but (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
• Entamoeba histolytica (I’ve voted for it to merge) (I later added arguments for two articles, with clear areas of coverage)

Add Sources

• Classical homeopathy (I put a ‘propose merge’ tag on it & a discussion entry – however, this homeopathy issue is totally poisoned with POV (both ‘sides’). Is there no way to retrieve what appears currently to be a hopeless situation? I think a total re-write is necessary. However, it can’t work if there is intentional sabotage. I've made the offer twice on the talk page)
• Volvo Cars (I looked at this in May – am I now too late, as it has ‘external links’?)
• Homeopathic proving (added sources)(I haven't suggested merger with homeopathy, as it appears to have missed the POV ping-pong thus far!)

Wikify

• Marita Liulia (looked at it May 2006 – already done but still tagged?)
• Estonian University of Life Sciences (done 10th May)
• Snake venom (not had time yet but possibly beyond my expertise to lift this one to where it ought to be)

Expand

• Sarah Schulman (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
• Informatics (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)
• National Forensic League (out of my field of expertise/knowledge/understanding)

Stubs Saab V8 - some expansion done Uusikaupunki Saab Lofton - not done - biography of someone outside my field of interest Saab Catherina - expanded Björn Envall - expanded Saab 21R - some expansion & editing Thermosphere River Colne, Hertfordshire ReAxs - expanded, spelled the name correctly, changed defunct external link Viglen not done, as 'not my scene' Seven Natural Wonders - performed general edit and tidy and added links Cuesta - expanded & tidied Saab 9-4X - car yet to be built, so difficult to expand much - done Trollhättan Assembly - expanded Cleeve Hill - had expanded in May, now fiurther expanded North Downs Way Brienzer Rothorn - sorry, I know nothing about this mountain! Eoraptor - expanded somewhat Therapeutic touch - generally too much POV ping-pong going on, in 'alternative medicine' articles, for there to be worthwhile and constructive addition - this article is spoilt by large 'pseudoscience' section, which appears to denigrate rather than observe Religious toleration - too much the subject of 'intolerance', for my liking Compression ratio - this doesn't look like a 'stub' but I've edited & cleaned it up a bit Metso - some editing/augmenting done Merge GMC (General Motors division) Glycogen branching enzyme deficiency Complementary and alternative medicine - I'm not able to resolve the heated 'debates that are spoiling WP's 'alternative medicine' pages - POV is taking over from objective accounts Add Sources Vertebral subluxation - already (August 2006) appears to have been referenced & expanded lots Gastrolith - edited - it already appears to have been 'referenced' (by August 2006) Bode Miller - not my field Wikify Jacqueline - edited/wikified Coacervate - edited & wikified Constructivist epistemology - out of my field of expertise/interest Expand State Road 15A (Florida) - expanded, one link, edited, removed tag Horse archer - expanded somewhat Sodium chlorite - insufficient knowledge to expand further
