Majestic Titan edit

Too many are left. You should help us! :-D The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (available online in full by searching here) is a common major source in U.S. warship GAs. For A or FA you need to supplement it with books like Battleships: United States Battleships in World War II by Garzke and Dulin, Battleships of World War II by M.J. Whitley, and History of United States Naval Operations in World War II by Samuel Eliot Morrison. For older ships I suggest New York Times archives (if pre-1923), the first two above (if they fought in WWII), and Peter Hore's Battleships of World War I. :-) —Ed (talkcontribs) 22:01, 1 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi again! For British ships, I know that Battleships of World War I, Battleships of World War II and Conway's All The World's Fighting Ships cover them if you can get a hand on the books (tip: the latter two are available under "limited preview" on Google Books). So does the New York Times, though more sparingly (archive search here).
For more than that, I'd talk to User:Sturmvogel 66, who has written Invincible-class battlecruiser. I'll direct him here. Many thanks, and I hope you decide to take a crack at a ship! :-) —Ed (talkcontribs) 05:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
So what period are you interested in? Hope you have a really, really good public library, or one that does Interlibrary Loan for free as the best books are scarce, which means expensive. R.A. Burt covers all of the British ships in 3 volumes, predreadnoughts, WWI and post-WWI, although they're titled: British Battleships of XXXX; I've only seen the predreadnought volume, but I've got the WWI volume enroute. Oscar Parkes has a monster book titled British Battleships, although its a little dated, but still useful. Be sure to use the third edition, which is early '70s vintage, IIRC. Just about anything over 100 pages by John Roberts or Alan Raven is damn useful, the shorter stuff being mostly picture books, I think; my find of a cheap used copy of Roberts' book on British Battlecruisers prompted me to start upgrading the Invincible class articles, and I'll work through the rest of the British BCs with it as the primary source. V. E. Tarrant and Peter C. Smith have done decent individual ship histories. Stats are pretty easy, the real problem is finding accounts of what the ships were doing in peacetime as well as wartime. Conway's is pretty good on major refits and transfers, etc., but you'll need to put in accounts of each ship's activities in the battles that it participated in if you want B-class articles. Again, let me know what you're interested in and I can give you more specific pointers. But look through the articles graded B-class or better and you can get a feel of what's required for each level and what sources people have used.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 06:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Sturm, don't try to scare him off though. ;-) Gerald, for warships you will need one, preferably two, books from a library. The reason why we are naming so many is that there are many out there; they all cover different ship types and time periods. Worldcat is great for finding books in libraries near you, by the way. Again, I hope you make the effort and take a stab at writing an article! :-) Ping me anytime if you would like to collaborate on a ship. All the best, —Ed (talkcontribs) 06:45, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I do actually have access to a good public library and ILL to all of the public libraries and universities in Maryland. I'll see what I can put on order and then decide whether to try an American or British ship. Was thinking to start at the beginning with the predreadnoughts, but, well, we'll see what sources I come up with. Geraldk (talk) 11:24, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I actually don't know much about books on American battleships, but there is a design history on the early ones that I can picture the cover of, but can't remember title or author; perhaps American Battleships xxxx or some such. With the Naval Academy library reasonably close by hopefully you'll have only a short wait for any ILL books that you order; I'm up to 3 weeks or so for my copy of Burt, dammit. Don't be shy about asking for help or if you'd like a review or something; just post a note on my talk page.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:28, 2 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Bolding edit

Hi. Regarding this edit you made, can you point me to where in the MoS it says that redirect targets can't be bolded in the article body? I'm going off of WP:REDIRECT#PLA, which says to bold redirect targets. Yes, it says that "Normally, we try to make sure that all 'inbound redirects' other than mis-spellings or other obvious close variants of the article title are mentioned in the first couple of paragraphs of the article or section to which the redirect goes." But for a short article like Automobile Manufacturers Association, I don't see the utility of introducing all the different names of the association in the first paragraph, and then have to repeat them soon thereafter. It seems to me that my solution of bolding the redirect targets as they occur is more economical and makes it easier for the reader to grasp each name change, and qualifies under the guideline as not the 'normal' situation that a longer article would have.

File source problem with File:James lilley and deng xiaoping.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:James lilley and deng xiaoping.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:57, 21 November 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Could you please be sure to include source information about images you upload-- eg, a link if they're from a website, information about what publication if scanned from print, etc. Thanks! -- Infrogmation (talk) 22:57, 21 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation! edit

To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.

It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:

  • Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
  • Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
  • Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
  • Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
  • Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
  • Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
  • Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
  • Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
  • Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
  • In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.

If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

Nominated FL List edit

It is my understanding that you nominated the list List of the most populous counties in the United States. There are multiple issuses with this list. For example, the list is not in order of population as the article title suggests. Also, there are counties that are not even listed such as Montgomery County, Ohio. There are five counties on the list that are lesser in population than Montgomery County, Ohio so it should be included. These are issues that need to be addressed in order to keep the list in FL status. Thank you! Texas141 (talk) 23:17, 27 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

WP:FOUR RFC edit

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:33, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
