Hello,
I have just editted the article Vietnam Airlines, could you please have a look and give me some feedbacks and recommendations. Also, could you please tell me how you find someone's list of contributions? Don't worry about the last request;I've found the way!

Congratulations in pushing the 1956 Winter Olympics article to FA status. It looks like SandyGeorgia promoted it but left a couple of tasks as well.

The template for the See Also section was developed mainly to make sure the information was in all of the articles, and the "variable" information (like other Olympics hosted by a country) were centralized so they were easy to update when a country got another Olympics. From the comments, it looks like it might be better to create a standard sentence for the "other Olympics in this country" part of this so that we can include it as part of the narrative (or perhaps a navbox at the bottom?). Then we would need to decide what is a "standard" set of See also references that we want (or if we want them at all). If we can make these decisions, it should not be difficult to update all the main articles to match. Perhaps in your "style guide" for these articles, we can actually include all of what's in the See also section somewhere in the relevant sections. For instance, the IOC code reference might be appropriate under the list of countries (I certainly find that handy, as I have not yet memorized all the codes).

I took a look at the table that solicited the color comment. Perhaps the Opening and Closing ceremonies could be "Open" and "Close" rather than just a dot? I guess we could also add a different symbol for the "Event competitions" (for instance, "*"). This would require us to count those, or to relabel it "One or more event competitions," but I think it would answer to the objection.

We still did not get an answer to my comment on the external link to the official site. Having thought about this for at least 3 minutes, I think we can solve this by only including the full Olympic site link for the year in the external links section, and referring only to the medals table or other sub-sections of the site elsewhere. The medals list already has a template so that we can change it if the site changes, but I can create other "sub-reference" templates the same way if we want. As for the organizing committee report (which can be a very good source), we can solve the duplication by using page-only references for inline citations, and putting the full reference in the References section. This meets the "no repetition" criteria AND puts a reference where the reader can easily find it. I just did this in the 1964 Summer Olympics article so you can see it, and it's not difficult to implement it elsewhere if needed.

Oops, I just noticed you already did the reference thing, with the exception that the page-only references don't link to the main reference. I can add this to the 1956 article if you want.

Thank you for your work! I am glad to see that there is another editor that understands the importance of this FAC. It now sets the format for over 25 articles. I figure that many of the early Games (from 1900 through 1912) will be unique articles given the fluid nature of the Games during their formative years. Also probably starting with the 1984 Summer Games the articles will become more complex due to two realities: that the Olympic movement really started to fast track after those Games and the explosion of available information thanks to the internet. That still leaves 27 articles (by my count) that will follow this basic format, which means we need to get the templates and common information uniform. I think that the color issues with the calendar will need to be addressed at WP:OLY since the calendar was decided by community consensus and since it will impact just about every YEAR at Summer/Winter Games article. My wife and I just took custody of two foster boys so my chances to edit are dramatically reduced right now. Hopefully I'll get some consistent time in towards the middle of this week. Thanks so much for all you've done and let's work these issues out so that we can have a coherent and consistent format for the rest of the articles that are in real need of work.

Yeah I know that makes it look like I did more work then :). Actually I save a lot due to losing information when my editing timed out once, Arrgh! And then also because I like to edit in the section rather than in the article as a whole, I get confused with all the code sometimes, so it's easier for me to edit in the section or sub-section, but then that means a lot of saving.

I agree about the table. There may well be better ways to do it than my suggestion, which was more or less off the top of my head. Take care your new boys -- I think you can safely concentrate elsewhere for a bit. The article made FA, and it's not going to disappear on you any time soon.

Hi. Thanks for your very positive comments on the article's GA nomination and for giving it the thumbs up. I'll keep working on it over the next few days to iron out the things you highlighted. From memory I think an all out strike referred to all postal workers going on strike rather than the rolling strikes that had been the case in previous stoppages, so I'll do some tweaks to that. Also I'll see what else I can find on the background. The last paragraph can be merged easily enough. I think someone added that after I'd nominated it. I checked the information out online and the vote is apparently going to happen, although I couldn't find a reliable source for it at the time. Hopefully when it happens it should be reported in the media. Once again thanks for the feedback.

The link to the student's articles is a red link, I don't want to offer unsolicited advice but I'd like to help. If there are student's articles at WP:PR or WP:GAC I'll happily review them, but I don't know which ones are your students. If you wish you can have your students post a request on my talk page and I'll review what I can, but if you'd rather they use established reviewing protocols that is compltetely understandable.

Hey thanks for the question. One of the FA criteria requires alt text. The captions may describe the picture but alt text is supposed to generically describe what the image looks like. Personally I don't like alt text and I find it cumbersome to put it on all the images. But it's one of the rules so I follow it but only when I'm trying to make an FA run. Best of luck to ya!

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Congrats on getting this article into DYK. It's quite well written and well researched.

I want to draw your attention to Talk:Winter_Paralympic_Games, where I mention the possibility of moving all the content into Paralympic Games.

I will not be taking further part in this discussion, so it may not go anywhere if nobody else agrees.

If that turns out to be the case, I hope at the very least that you will add two new sections to Paralympic Games for the winter and summer games, employing the {{main}} template.

Good work and I'm sorry to rain on your parade.  :)

First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far. We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns. See you at the finish!

Hello H1nkles!

I'm done working with your suggestions and I'm ready for you to finalize the review. Of course, since the building isn't as famous as those such as the Aon Center, there were limited sources, so I couldn't complete some suggestions, but most of them were worked out. Feel free to finalize your review at any time available. If it fails, I'll work on it once more, and when I submit it, you could review it again.

I'm done working with the suggestions on your second review. Feel free to either do a third review or otherwise finalize the review. It would be great to finalize the review before April, but I am not rushing you and it is okay to finalize after the end of April.

Well, I worked with your suggestions. I removed the forum references. I didn't want to entirely remove the Austin Chronicle parts because the building is famous on a local basis and I wanted a casual's response to the tower, I didn't remove it all, but I did shred 40% of it.

Thank you for taking the time to peer review and edit Ghost Adventures. I appreciate it and will consider your advice. Not many users have significantly edited/expanded the page lately, although it seems to gain an average rate of about 1,000 readers worldwide per day (after I saw the recent page view stats linked on the revision history). Thus, I felt somewhat alone editing it, although the series and its cast/crew have plenty of viewers/fans.

I decided to include the info on the Amazon DVD release because {{television needs response section}} suggests details on merchandise. The episodes section, which I considered separating into its own article, is evidently incomplete, so I added {{expand-section}} to the top of it.

Do you happen to have much experience and familiarity with WikiProject Television? How would you assess the quality of the article? Would it still be C-class if the episode list was a separate article? If you wish to respond, please do so here, on this talk page.

Sorry for the late reply I don't edit much on the weekends. I would say the article is a C-class though I would still put it up at WP:GAC to see what the GA reviewer recommends. I would not remove the episode list since other GAs on TV shows have some sort of episode list. I would make sure you cover each episode consistently though. It doesn't do to summarize one episode and not the others. If you do decide to summarize all the episodes make it one sentence per episode. Summary style is important. Let me know if you have other questions.

It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive. 661 total nominations were reviewed. 541 of them passed (~81.8%), 97 (~14.7%) failed, and 23 (~3.5%) ended on hold. The WP:GAN page started at 110,126 bytes length on 1 April and ended at 43,387 bytes length at the end of 30 April (a 66,739 byte reduction in the page, about 60.6% less). Excluding extremes, the longest wait for someone's GAN to be review was about 11.5 weeks at the beginning. (I mistook the figure when I reported to the Signpost that it was 13.) At the end, with the exception of one that was relisted, the longest wait is now at 10 days. 63 different users participated, each having completed at least one GAN, with others also having helped out behind-the-scenes in making the drive a success. The drive started with 463 GA nominations remaining and 388 unreviewed. At the end of the month, we ended with 89 remaining (374 or about 80.8% less) and 47 unreviewed (341 or about 87.9% less). For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia.

Hi, this has been slow work; I've finished and posted my Hutcheson section. That whole article needs to be reworked eventually, but first... For my next little project, I want to develop a stub -- Edmund Plowden (colonial governor) -- into a passable article. As a source I have one scholarly biographical article, focused primarily on Plowden's one and only notable "achievement." I want to digest this into an encyclopedia entry. Could you suggest a pattern for a good brief biographical article? What should and shouldn't it contain?

Ah, this explains the edit there. Which was confusing, as Plowden isn't a living person. Somewhere I have several articles on this colorful person. But it will be at least a month before I can easily retrieve them and edit. I don't think it's our BLP guidelines that the editor needs but Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies).

Hi, I'm having trouble dealing with an editor on the Newport Tower (Rhode Island) page. He has accused me of vandalism (in his edit summary when he reverted my reversion of somebody else's surprise deletion of some long-standing material), edit warring, personal attacks, and making edits against the consensus on the page (in a message that he left on my talk page). Of course I disagree with all of that, but so far I haven't responded to him or tried again to restore the article. So far nobody else is behaving like he is, and nobody is openly supporting him. I'm not asking you to get involved, but I'm hoping that you can tell me, what are my options in a situation like this? Thanks! --Other Choices (talk) 14:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-06-04T14:34:00.000Z","author":"Other Choices","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Other_Choices-2010-06-04T14:34:00.000Z-need_some_advice_on_how_to_handle_a_dispute","replies":[]}}-->

You have some excellent questions and situations come up that are really interesting. Let me restate what I see as the issue that you are seeking my assistance with: You are in a dispute with an editor about the validity of NEARA, but you're not seeking my thoughts on the validity of NEARA but rather on how to work with someone who is opposing you. Is this correct? So let's look at the accusations leveled against you by this editor:

1. Vandalism
2. Edit warring
3. Personal attacks
4. Making edits against consensus

• First Vandalism: See WP:VAND for policy on vandalism. Here's the definition: Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. The editor may claim you are doing this, but read further: Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. I think this is a key aspect that the editor is missing. So even if NEARA is a fringe group, you are not acting in bad faith but in an effort to improve the encyclopedia so it is not vandalism (which is by it's very nature done in bad faith with malicious intentions).
• Second Edit warring: See WP:EW for policy on this. The key that most people look for is the 3 revert rule or 3RR. In looking at the history of this situation, one editor made the initial edits to remove the information from the "fringe" group. You undid this removal (one revert), Openfuture then stepped in and removed the information, which you undid (second revert). Openfuture then undid what you undid and called in vandalism. Once two editors start undoing each other's work that would be considered an edit war, but as the old saying goes, it takes two to tango. So if he is going to accuse you of edit warring, he would be just as guilty. I see two reverts, which is borderline, it's not three but you know, it's close. The fact that you stopped, and sought furhter insight was the right thing to do. Most editors would let their heart control their head and escalate the issue, but you stepped back and I think that was very commendable. So IMO, there is possible edit warring but it would be on both sides not just your's.
• Third Personal attacks: See WP:PA for policy on this. What is considered a personal attack? Threats, comments about race, gender, creed, sexual orientation, or the like. You can read more about it at the linked page on personal attacks. In looking at the diff linked on your talk page here is the edit summary, "undid deletions that are based on one editor's personal interpetation of "wikipedia policy"" Personal attack? I don't see it. I don't think you'd find many reasonable editors who would claim this is a personal attack. I also think it is useful to learn more about the other person by viewing their talk page. You can see how they interact on other issues. I'll leave it at that.
• Fourth Making edits against consensus: See WP:CONS for thoughts on consensus. Reaching consensus is a great way to resolve issues such as this. But to make edits against consensus you have to first have a consensus to go against. I don't see any consensus in place prior to your edits. Now as I look further in the article's talk page, I do see other editors who have weighed in on the credibility of NEARA. I think these opinions carry weight and could be considered consensus. But these opinions were rendered several hours after the edit in question not before so I can't see how you went against a consensus that wasn't there. Now I may be missing something as I haven't read the entire talk page of the article. So if there's been other discussion and consensus reached elsewhere I'll happily revisit these opinions.

To sum up, no I don't think those accusations are legitimate and I don't think you need to worry about one editor leveling those sorts of claims.

• So how do you handle the disagreement?

1. Address the issues. Don't get into debates about interpretations of policy or whether Newport tower is pre-colonial. Look at the issues and answer the editor's questions: Is it a reliable source according to WP:RS? Interpretation of the policy is important, I think Openfuture's interpretation isn't necessarily off base, it needs to be peer reviewed, cited in other credible sources, it relies on secondary sources, is it in the mainstream of academic discourse. Can you address these concerns? I'm not going to weigh in myself on whether it's reliable or not. Also there is a question as to whether it is a fringe organization: See WP:FRINGE for thoughts on fringe theories. Information that goes against the mainstream isn't necessarily fringe (nor are the organizations who promote these ideas). Remember that the idea that the earth was flat used to be mainstream. There is no clear line where a theory (or group) crosses into the fringe, so it really is up to consensus and discussion to determine this issue. One good way to refute the fringe accusation is to look at the contributors to NEARA. Where were they educated? Do they contribute outside of NEARA? How many are there? You're looking to add weight to your argument.
2. Seek outside input: I like your idea of going to a neutral forum for input. I would disput Openfuture's claim of neutrality. A good place to start is WP:DRR, which will help provide an avenue to resolve to dispute. Another is Arbitration, this is a bigger deal though and usually is lead by a facilitator who tries to get you to compromise rather than giving a judgement. You don't need the other editor's consent to go to dispute resolution.
3. Refrain from inflammatory language. What frustrates me is when I read editors using really over the top wording to convey their point, it isn't necessary and usually throws gas on the fire. Here's an example of what I mean (italics are mine and meant to show inflammatory language):

The NEARA Journal obviously fails this utterly. There is no fact-checking, and the journal is if anything notable for it's complete and utter inaccuracy, like publishing Suzanne Carlssons "translation" of the spirit Pond runestones. Perhaps NEARA used to be reliable, but they definitely are not now, and your efforts to argue for it is nothing more than wishful thinking, sorry. It's pretty clear on the policy page on scholarly resurces. A RS is a secondary source that is peer-reviewed. Ph.D. dissertations are reliable (because they are vetted by peers) and a source is also reliable if get cited in several other reliable sources. NEARA's Journal is not peer-reviewed, and none of the articles on NEARA's page linked above has been cited anywhere, showing that it is not generally to be seen as reliable. They generally publish articles by happy amateurs fiddling in areas where they have little or no expertise.

Whether the claims are true or not, the tone and the terms are unnecessary and usually end up making arguments worse as it puts the other person (you) immediately on the defensive. Refrain from this wherever possible. They are conterproductive to resolving the dispute.

I think you are on the right track, stepping back and letting cooler heads prevail is always a good idea. I see that you have been engaged on several discussions in the article's talk page. My suspicion is that the feelings in these discussions are blending, which makes dispute resolution that much more difficult. Try to be objective, and try to work through the dispute as best as possible. Remember though that you aren't always going to get your way all the time (a lot of editors would be served to remember this), pick the hills you want to die on carefully. I wish you the best and please keep me posted on how things go.

Thank you very much for your reality check on this situation. I definitely agree with your thought that the various discussions on the Newport Tower page are blending. On the other hand, it was my recent contribution to strengthening the article's main argument (after initially challenging the article's weakness in this regard) that seems to have precipitated another editor's assault on the list of alternative hypotheses. For me, the whole issue is serving as a much-needed tutorial on how wikipedia actually works. I'm planning on being around for a while, so I might as well learn the language. I suspect that, with this dispute, I might have run into a deeply-entrenched shared bias that is sometimes (but not always) at odds with wikipedia's core purpose; so I might not get my way, but it's worth a try. Before initiating any formal dispute resolution process, I'm going to try one last time to explain myself (together with piece-by-piece restoration of the deleted material) and welcome discussion from those who disagree.

You are certainly a credit to the project and I wish more editors were as level headed as you. Yes the actual workings of Wikipedia can be a bit messy. We are dealing with a lot of different types of people. I try to remember that we're all working towards the same goal and most of the editors you run across are working with the best motives. Keep going and don't let these sorts of disputes sour your overall impression of the project. We've lost too many good editors and we need all the good and well-intentioned help we can get.

"What happened to the Alternate video? Why was it shot, what was it used for? How did it go public? These questions should be addressed."

Those questions could not be answered because there is no information about it (on the web).

Firstly, the article is a collection of all the available info on the community. out of it i've tried to give it some direction to the best of my abilities. As i didnt want to claim anythng out of the reach of the evidences available, have left most of the information open to interpretation. most of this should soon change with the expected arrival of the 1rst comprehensive book on the subject. but am not sure of how much help it'll be as it'll be in Kannada. even then certain questions might remain unanswered. hence the effort to include all possible points in this article which should form a base for future researchers on the subject. About the use of Kannada words all along (they are not Hindi as you hv supposed), it is crucial for the following reasons. 1.This is the first time that these places and terms are finding references in an English media other than the Local Vernacular that is Kannada. 2. most of the names and places mentioned here doesnt click with the English speaking, net-savvy younger generation as they are completely unaware of the same. Most of these places and terms are knowledgeable to the elders in the community who dont surf or are computer literates. the idea is to create a recall value with proper pronunciation (not possible with English alone) and aid in further info collection. it can be removed once a full fledged article in Kannada wiki is available.

Lakh= 1/10th of a million. 10 lakhs = 1million and 10 million = 1 crore.

Toddy Tapping is a widespread economic activity/profession all over Indian sub continent where in the Sap is extracted and collected from the Palmyra species of trees.

About your take that the editor shouldnt opine, i completely agree and shall correct it in the Present social status section.most of these mistakes are due to the fact that when i started this page i went thru other community pages for idea and even brought in the errors involved there..

References after 21 are all books (except 24). I do understand page no.s should be provided. It'll be shortly, that was an error on my part. but not all books can be provided with the ISBN code as they simply dont hv it. ISBN is a new concept with the publishers in India, esp the State of Karnataka where Kannada books are published in any and every publishing house. The books published 10-20yrs back hv no chance of having ISBN codes...it can added if new additions are available of the same. abt ref 11,I agree Wiki cant use its own sources and hence shall remove it

What literature are you referring to? With Literature here i meant the many sources which mention the community. Most of them in Kannada, with some in English and Marathi. i have even cited some of them.

About the various Grammatical mistakes, i request you to kindly help me out. i'll try my best to correct it. I've been almost 4yrs old on Wiki but still yet to get well versed in all these. N i dont see it happening any soon:)

About Martial status , its a fact here today in India that almost every community (apart from the Priestly Brahmin caste) is claiming a Martial status. it seems by doin so they want to elevate their status. My belief is that there no such race/Community as Martial. Each and every population at a point of time in History had to take up arms for the sake of their livelihood. this was the simple truth that prevailed not only in India but also in Europe as seen in the Peasant armies. I just wanted to point out the different occupations taken up and the predominantly martial occupation resorted to by the Halepaiks(their name itslef indicates it, ie Paiks=Soldiers). But also i didnt wan2 claim the Kshatriya status as all communities today are in a race to claim(its one of the higher divisions in the ancient fourfold division of classes). Its really senseless what people do to just experience a sense of glory.

Finally, i have to confide one thing.writing this article has exhausted me of all my English vocabulary. hence u see so many mistakes. and its not an easy job also esp when you are the only one doing it all. The article would have really benefitted with other like minded editors apart from the Vandals and POV pushers.

i once again thank you for sparing your time to review the article and list your views. Hope i've answered most of your queries. Plz feel free to clear your doubts if any. and Also plz feel free to edit out the grammatical mistakes and help me make the article a better one. Cheers!!

Hi H1nkles, I was just browsing through the Featured Topic project pages when I spotted your undertaking. Citius altius fortius, is it called? Well, I just want to say that truly is an olympian task of sorts, and for you to attempt to fulfill that, that's really admirable.

Thank you very much for your review. It's a long article, so I believe you volunteered quite a bit of time to do that. Regarding citations, do you know if there is a bot that can automatically convert the standard ref format to a preferred template? There are over 100 references, so that's not something I can do by hand. thanks again! I really appreciate the work you contributed.

Good question, unfortunately I'm not familiar with a bot that would do that sort of service. I really hope there is one and if you find one let me know. :) One idea for you to consider is using the reward board. People who have busy work stuff like this can post a reward, say a barnstar for converting 20 citations or they'll offer services like a GA review for converting 20 citations. The numbers and the rewards are all up to you. Formatting citations is a fairly easy task (just a lot of tedious work) so you'll probably get some takers. It's something to consider. Regarding the article I found it a fascinating read and very balanced and informative. It was my pleasure to review it.

I have just abstained and crossed out my support. I'm sure you know that Tony1 was the one responsible for the drastic improvement of prose reviews at FAC and if he says the prose isn't there yet, I'm in no place to sit there and disagree with him, yet.

I understand and no hard feelings. I knew when I saw his oppose that the nom was doomed. My concern though is that one editor's opinion can kill a nomination.
