Welcome back!!

I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping cleanup and rewrite the Robert Stroud article. A curious character, it needs a good scrub I think.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 19:33, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

I've begun improving it. Can you help improve the sourcing and quality of The Birdman of Leavenworth section and some sources to the lower paragraphs of the legacy section?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:16, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

I've just bought this anyway. looks interesting to me anyway!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 09:38, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

I think the series of portraits taken over 4 decades is an interesting touch. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:08, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, amazing how much he changed!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:43, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Sfn

If you're working on an article with Harv Ref, you really need to take a look at this, User:Ucucha/HarvErrors, and install the script. Once you do, take a look at the sfn issues with Badajoz, Rapa Nui National Park, etc. If they aren't repaired by the time I come home from work, I'll fix them. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:44, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Nice one, can you add it to our tools and gadgets section if you haven't already?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:44, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Badajoz - I fixed them except for Deutscher2013 which needs a Bibliography entry. --Rosiestep (talk) 01:41, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Honiara is riddled with Harv errors. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:06, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Kortman book I can't even find listed. Char, can you sort out the harv refs and ensure they link to the books?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:03, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Thầy Temple - In addition to the article needing a c/e, there are 12 Harv Ref Errors marked in red. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:05, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Badajoz

Badajoz is currently at GAN, need to rid of the red links in it. Honiara is the current collaboration.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:32, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm working the redlinks and will continue with that tonight. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:00, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Red links away... ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 15:38, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Gulbenkian Park

Two of the 3 books are travel books; 1 of the 2 websites is a tourism website. While the article is a nice addition to wikipedia, I doubt it's promotable at DYK with such a heavy reliance on travel/tourism. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:58, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

GA

I've nommed Honiara, awaiting review tomorrow. I think Gregorian Tower looks like a good next choice. Char, can you check the author names, the Derek Price one especially? I'd like to get Rapa Nui National Park up to GA too, I think it's worthwhile but needs a fair bit of work still.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:05, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Tatuala

"Fataluku people believe that Jaco island is the "head" of the land and mainland is the "body of the crocodile", which formed the island after his death after the Timorese legend. " After the death of the crocodile? Seems a little strange? Was this a Portuguese auto translation Mr. Char?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:15, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Better if "his" is changed to "its". I think "after the Timorese legend" is redundant. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Help requested

Hey guys, I would really love to see Huang Zunxian become a Featured Article. Is it possible currently and could you guys be so kind as to help me out? Cheers, ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 10:29, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Aalborg is GA of the month

Aalborg is the current goal for GA... Please allow full Danish translations to be done by a fluent speaker unless fairly certain of an accurate translation.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:02, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm creating Aalborg articles off the redlinks. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:45, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Palacio Municipal de Caracas has been nommed for GA. I didn't nom it but I found it on the GAN page! Lead needs expansion and might need some improvements before it passes.21:41, 19 August 2013 (UTC) I have reformatted all the references for uniformity and also added a few sentences to the lead.--Nvvchar. 14:08, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes Nvv, I told you about that almost 2 weeks ago I think. Great job Your Rosiness!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:17, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

The Great Ziegfeld

The Great Ziegfeld article only lists 13 songs. IMDB shows 40. Is there a reason why we wouldn't include the rest? --Rosiestep (talk) 03:58, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Good catch Your Rosiness!! Yup add 40!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:25, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Rosblofnari?

The Rosblofnari Swimming Pool: dive in! --Rosiestep (talk) 04:47, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I was surprised to find this project among the most active WikiProjects by edits (when bot edits are excluded) since I've never heard of this project before. Rosblofnari appears to be a portmanteau of contributors' names, but aside from that, I'm puzzled as to what this project is all about. Have I stumbled upon a secret plot to take over the encyclopedia? –Mabeenot (talk) 00:42, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

You could see it that way. Alternatively, you might think it is a page for organisation collaboration on specific articles chosen by members of the group.--Gilderien Chat|Contributions 03:45, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, we're what you could call a proper wikiproject. In all honesty the only project I've founded which was worth it as aside from maybe WP:Actors.. And remember that we've only been running 4 months or so, most of those others have existed at least 5 years at the top.. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:16, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Aalborg

Aalborg is undergoing final adjustments and improvements for GA. What needs doing is on Ipigott's talk page. I intend creating Template:Aalborg tomorrow crammed full of topics. A lot of red links, Rosie has already begun I see and read my mind, Nvv might also be interested in stubbing a few red links away.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:09, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

You read my mind that we need a template! --Rosiestep (talk) 19:19, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Schppoooky! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
