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)

I'm also eyeing up Alotenango.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:04, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

BTW - don't worry about adding the "alumni" category: I have AWB, and I'll do that tonight. Save you some work. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:07, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

My pleasure. Consider it payback for the excellent work you did expanding Teotitlán del Valle - I read about it in a mystery novel, and was astounded to see that I created the article way back when. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:13, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll take a look tomorrow night, when I can pull out a copy of the libretto and look. It might be relevant; I'm not sure. There's probably room in the Ballo article for it.

BTW, categorizing is done for the Accademia alumni. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:58, 15 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 [1] 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)

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 suggested two to Nvvchar but any flesh work on any in List of rivers of Indonesia would be appreciated. Just so they at least contain some sort of info. Don't have to be DYks just expanded a little.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I have completed my inputs to Sakuddei. I am not sure if the three anthropologists could be be clubbed in one hook. I normally do not like doing biographic articles.

Since Jossers have alraedy been nominated by Dr Blofeld, at this stage I have refrained from further expanding it. However, you may now like to nominate the other two articles on DYK with a single hook.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 22:58, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 06:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

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)

Legislatures of Italy

HI Rosie I transferred these important Italian legislature article earlier and made Template:Legislatures of Italy. However they need clean up/Italian translation.

MOst of them have the same titles which are the same for each one and the dates just changed ot english. 3-10 should be easy, 11-16, eck...♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:20, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

US

HI Rosie. When we come to do the United States for our A-Z edition we can expand Nevada County then. 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...

DYK nomination of Monte Titano

Hello! Your submission of Monte Titano at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 19:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

We are still in UK. You may like to add to these two. Saint Anne, Alderney and Braye Harbour, the former needs an infobox, which I failed to fix for some reason. -- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 09:12, 10 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)

Thanks. I feel it is now ready for DYK nomination.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 15:57, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I had actually already nominated it. Don't worry I've credited you for Saint Anne, Alderney, nice work. Can you help us with Ghardaia? There is a lot of info in google books but a lot is in French.. ALso Botetourt Springs, Virginia need a bit more text for DYK..♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:01, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Can you move Kanmaw Island to Kanmaw Kyun. That's the correct name.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:43, 14 November 2010 (UTC) I have posted Makushin Volcano on DYK.

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)

Edit conflict! I'll let you work on the volcano for a bit and will pop back in once you've finished..♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:58, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I've started Parque Batlle which might interest. Quite how that one was missing, I'm unsure...♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:11, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Looks great Rosie.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:25, 14 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)

Don't worry.... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:48, 14 November 2010 (UTC) I did not realise. Sorry about it. Please continue. I have completed my inputs. Thanks for joining on these articles. Same references hold good for the Great River also. -- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Is this referenced img [[2]] useful for your article on Parque Batlle?-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 03:52, 15 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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)

Rosie ji, (Ji suffix is an Indian way of address indicating warm regards) thank you very much for the Original Barnstar Award for my 300 DYKs. It represents the deep interest we have to continue to contribute to wikipedia. Of all the ways available to give exposure to our articles (even on small towns, villages and innocuous issues), DYK is the best format.

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)

Ignore the circus show. I think Parque Battle is still valid. I tinended to nom them together. Rosie can you research the Parque Rodó and Metropolitan sextions and add sources?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:16, 19 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)

I've nominated them together for Nov 19. OK no worries, take care, I'll see what I can conjure up now. Have a great day!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:31, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Qhen you return there are some new bios you may wish to expand, take your pick of whatever interests you. Lidia Brito, Edward S. Ayensu, Mauricio Rosencof, Francisco Antonio Maciel (the father of the poor). Can you add a bit more to Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra first though to make it DYK worthy. 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)

Excellent. Can you find a source or two for Jennifer Frautschi and it can be a double nom. Its already beyond a stub. If not don't worry.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:47, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh one thing for consistency sake can you and Nvvchar start writing the access date as November 21, 2010? I think it looks nicer than the 2010-11-21 format. This way when we collaborate it will be consistant! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:49, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I agree with you. This quid pro quo approach is not very convenient for me since I am not comfortable with the procedures of review. The articles now under expansion could be nominated by you after adding more text to make it 5x, if you agree. Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:53, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. To avoid being pressured, I started all my articles on my user pages and then transferred them to main space after all collaborating authors had completed their inputs and informed about its completion, and also sometimes suggested a suitable hook of their choice for posting on DYK. I adopted this procedure initially with User:Redtigerxyz and later with Dr Blofeld. We could go back to that mode even now. However, it is essential to observe that the article is not shifted to main space even if it is an expansion unless it so desired by all concerned.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 05:01, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I will post one on my sandbox shortly on Coffee production in India. You may like to nominate the three articles Rice production in Azerbaijan, Maiden Tower (Baku) and Lake Burton, Antarctica on DYK as joint articles with Dr Blofeld.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:46, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Ambitious

• Ambitious? Maybe i can create a few decent starter years for each country to get it rollin... At least then they are red linked... We should have detailed coverage of each country by year in my view. I'll resume with the lake editing tomorrow..♦ Dr. Blofeld 23:26, 27 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)

I've completed my inputs to the coffee article and posted it. Please nominate that and the Guinean articles.Thanks♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:54, 1 December 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 have now posted this User:Nvvchar/Gruta das Torres in new format which can be transferred to the main article with help from Admn as suggested by Materialscentist. You may like to add.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 16:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

May be you can find some good references for this one too User:Nvvchar/Monchique Islet.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:59, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I have added all the text that I could find to this User:Nvvchar/Monchique Islet.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 15:44, 3 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)

Since I do not know the procedure to transfer the articles to main space including the history of contributors, you may consider do the needful and also post both articles on DYK with suitable hooks.Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 04:07, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Post it as convenient to you. Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 04:49, 4 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)

I have added some more text and also fixed an img to the hook. I have also rectified the issues raised by DR.B on the Gruta article. You may like to have a check before posting it on DYK.Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 03:54, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

You are right. Monchique Islet is far short of 5x expansion (2500 ch short). We need to find more text. I was under the notion that it was a new article. I will also try to find more text to add.Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 04:24, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I've moved the Belize church into the mainspace. You may wish to nom. Great work! I've started User:Nvvchar/Terra Chã. Can you translate what you can, providing it makes sense to you using google translate (be careful of the literal translations though) and begin compiling some sources on it. There should be info on the churches etc..♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:22, 6 December 2010 (UTC) Also I've started Forest Abbey. Perhaps you'd be interested in translating form french wiki and finding some sources? Some history here♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:17, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

I have probably read about "die Wachau" in some other reference. I will find and fix it. Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 03:42, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I have completed my inputs to Wachau. May like to add the trasnlated version to the last section from the reference source in German. Dr. B. has also added some more today. May like to transfer to main space and then post it on DYK. Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 17:54, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

MS has moved it to main space. You may like to post it on DYK, please. Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:35, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I will add the img to the hook. If you have time, can you have a look at this article before nomination on DYK. Also, there is a review observation below the DYK hook on the Gruta das Torres cave. Can you help by replying to it? -- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 05:39, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

• I have added Dr.Blofeld's name as coauthor of Wachau article, since he has contributed substantially. I have also mentioned that the article was moved to main space on December 11, 2010. -- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 06:04, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

In the Gurta article, I have given the inline citation to reference 1 only and removed all other lengths. I have replied on the discussion page and also now on DYK. You may like to have a second look.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:37, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. When there are so many lengths given in different sources (even the book source at 2 gives a different length) there is a problem of which one to include. I hope MS will clear it now. What about your inputs to this article San Andrés (island)? -- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:54, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I will fix references to tags and figures wherever I have added the text.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 06:07, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Please read the comments in the discussion page of Gruta das Torres and also the final review comments below its DYK hook. I don't know how to go about this observation. Thanks.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 12:08, 13 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. The hook would need to be changed and wine statement qualified.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:11, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

• I have added some more references of Unesco.org with minor modifications in the lead as also history section. The one tag which I had missed is also referenced now. Your copy editing has substantially improved the article. Would you please consider posting it on the DYK today (last day of five day limit). 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. As regards the other two articles of Gruta and Wachau, I am responsible for any oddities that have come up now, though all were based on authentic book references. I am trying to find the latest references for both. I would appreciate, if you could also help. Thanks. -- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 06:12, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Can you try to expand the Ozark hotel section using the sources provided and try to expand the Winecoff Hotel section three fold as it should be longest section woth some chunky paragraph as the worst incident.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:19, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

It went very well, thanks. Not Handel, though - Janáček, Liszt, the Britten Ceremony of Carols (ladies only, alas - I love that piece), plus a smattering of carols and a little Mendelssohn. Quite an interesting concert. And the Janáček was a hoot to sing. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

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.[3]

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)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

San Andrés (island)

Sorry for the delay in responding. I got busy with some office work and then found the url of the reference proposed for the hook was mixed with some other title. I have now rearranged the reverences. Page 190 of reference 2 (author Jens Porup) in the abstract itself mentions about the proposed text for the hook. May be too late in the night to respond. -- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 08:16, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

If you are interested I've expanded Anortė Mackelaitė (which like you had an unwarranted deletion tag placed on it) and started Anykščiai Church. The latter is the tallest church in Lithuania. You and Nvvchar may be interested at least in expanding the church article. I want to nominate both articles as a double hook.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:32, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Today I've written Anne Rouse and A535 road, both of which are DYK worthy but until I sort something out with Material Scientist...♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:08, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

OK. How about this hook... that The avifaunal species of San Andrés Vireo (Vireo caribacus) is exclusive to the mangroves and pasture land bushes of the island? I have refixed the reference to this hook. Gruta DYK is through with Mike Norton digging out some latest reference of a conference on the estimated length. He has also supported the authenticity of my original reference, though old. I have completed my inputs to Anykščiai Church. You may like to post the La Salle Hotel article on DYK with hook reference to President Toft's visit and the hotel then called Exoffico Whitehouse.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 05:10, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Shall I fix an img of the Island? I have fixed the reference to the church article.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 05:45, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I have fixed the img. In the hotel article, reference 2 makes specific mention of President Toft's visit and the exofficio White House. Reference 8 about "Weird and Haunted Chicago" is this [4], last part of the article deals with La Salle, which opens in my computer.-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 06:08, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

For the Anortė Mackelaitė I have used translated text from this Mary Mackelaitė. Would it be acceptable. If not then pl delete it. Thanks.

Don;t worry, I've nominated the others myself. Rosie can you expand Richmond Theatre fire, there tons of info in the bibliography source and other sources. At the time it was the worst urban disaster in American history.. It's an article Ser Amantio and I want to get up to GA level by the 200th anniversary of the fire, so help is appreciated!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:50, 15 December 2010 (UTC) I alos started Cootes Store, Virginia with some amazing old pics. Looks like something from an early John Wayne movie! It needs a tad more text to be DYK worthy I think.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Can you have a look at the comment in the talk page of Wachau? It is not clear to me. I have shifted most of the text to other sections in the article. If it is the last para of the lead that the reviewer wants shifted, can you suggest a section heading for that?-- N.V.V. Char ^Talk . 02:39, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Can you expand Batuan, Bali. This is a great source It is currently planned to AFD it as "non notable" which really is misguided which is why a notbaility tag has been placed on it. It is a very notable artistic centre on Bali which you might find interesting.

I also need your help with Sausapor. The Operation Globetrotter part needs elaborating from that book source or any others. Also you might find more info under the name Sansapor. This is a good source.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

Eucalyptus scientist & Currency Creek

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.

Here's a photo of Dean Nicolle, taken on Friday

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

We have a lot of short articles I've noticed on British abbeys which would require only a few minutes work for DYK expansions if you can find public domain text on it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:55, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

A present from me

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)
