HI Julian, knock knock. Can you let the bald guy in. I'm refraining from joining in at the village pump but can I just say that the idea of the bot creating a few articles automatically is so many editors such as myself can no longer spend all our time creating articles on geo stubs and trying to address the huge bias on here, but can focus on quality, on building up stubs to start class articles. I dedicate a lot of time to wikipedia and creating new articles but if I could soley spend my editing time on here writing the articles that exist, things would be looking a lot better. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 17:27, 2 June 2008 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-06-02T17:27:00.000Z","author":"Blofeld of SPECTRE","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Blofeld_of_SPECTRE-2008-06-02T17:27:00.000Z-Hi","replies":[],"displayName":"\u2666Blofeld of SPECTRE\u2666"}}-->

Hi, give my head a polish on the way in lol. Well perhaps the millions of articles thing was overly ambitious. It would take over a year to create that many and to expand each and every one of them would be a difficult task indeed, time which you or I haven't got. What we can do however it do several thousand at a time and get the wikirpojects involved so we can aim to get a team working at expanding a sensible number of articles of the most notable articles e.g towns with a poulation over 1000 that could quite feasibly be expanded and not remain permastubs. Ideally I;d love to have full and detailed articles on everywhere, but the huge problem is access to knowledge. Realistically if we could get many onto to here like this, it would give us a firm basis to build upon sensibly. I think the new proposal has a lot of positice points, I agree bots are stupid, even Mr Fritz. the bot programmer is the first to say this. But if it is used in the right way and coordinated and regulated closely it can be a very powerful and efficent tool in setting up a foundation to build upon as of course we write the articles!!. I have spent many weeks laone trying to adding infoboxes and refs to the geo articles which already exist by country and the biggest problem by far is lack of consistency and general shoddiness of starting them. Some editors don't get me wrong cna start articles correctly and get things off to a good start but the majority are not done in a manner expected of wikipedia and it takes weeks to sort out the mess. But if we have a bank of articles under the whim of wikiprojects and along with the editors like myself who work on geo articles we can try to build the best we can which help people in the most efficient and consistent way we can. Whatever is thought of me, I would rather not create 2 million perma stubs either and am here to build an encyclopedia of the highest quality and depth. It should be done in stages but we need to start from somewhere.

I intended on placing the 'On hold' icon instead of the review one; I copy and pasted what was in the instructions and thought it would be the On Hold icon. I noticed a few minor prose issues, but nothing that I thought should prevent it from GA. If the article were to go through FAC, however, then I would certainly bring those up; but generally, the article looks a lot better than many current GAs so I figure I would pass it.

• Thank you for creating the Hudson Valley portal. I loved the first revision: an article I created as a selected article, with a picture I took; then a picture I took as selected picture, and another article I created as featured attraction. The current one is no less flattering to my ego, either.

• I reverted your recent debolding of the title words in U.S. Route 9 in New York because I felt that's within the permitted limits for such formatting within the MoS. Leading with the disambiguated-by-state title, as I've seen too many other USRD articles do, produces some very clunky phrasing, and dogmatically refusing to link the words results, again, in some very awkward phrasing which doesn't make sense on hard copy. So I did it that way even before the article made GA, which gives us the chance to put an interesting fact in the very first sentence.

• I was amused by your complaint when removing the Downing Park picture from New York State Route 32 that there were too many pictures from that stretch of the road. While removing it probably did the article a favor (I assume you have no complaint with the use of the same image in U.S. Route 9W? That view is almost right off Robinson Avenue, the duplexed route at that point, and I like showing a nice face of Newburgh given that 32 otherwise runs through some grungy neighborhoods of the city), it was south-heavy with pictures because that's near where I live. Oh well. I think the two I added to it recently from the Catskills and Cohoes at least partly balance that out (and certainly help the ongoing FAC), though ultimately the article should have at least one from the area north of the Capital District, preferably the US 4 duplex along the river.

  It is sort of funny that, given the many built-up areas 32 runs through, I/we've chosen to depict it in mainly in rural areas. Not that they're not beautiful.

• Speaking of FACs, I saw that Amadewit felt we could have better pictures for New York State Route 28. I should at least get up to Phoenicia this summer and take a pic of some of the Catskill vistas up there (the view coming to Balsam Mountain, for one, which I may have an old print or two of). There are other things you could find on Flickr, like downtown Oneonta. Or the Adirondack sections. And there's a whole travel guidebook to Route 28 that could be an excellent source, if it isn't already.

• If you're still looking around for an article I could assign you to do, I have one in mind (the picture already exists, so that's not a problem).

Thank you for responding, and I'm sorry it has taken me so long to do so myself. It's been horrible in this heat lately.

I don't know of any rapid-fire way to assess unassessed articles other than going through them. Back in spring 2007, I did maybe a thousand (yes, a thousand) for WP:FASHION all by myself. I would certainly be willing to help you with a few, but do remember I'd have to recuse myself from any article I had created or substantially edited.

Two more things I meant to add to that bulleted list:

• One of my recent photos for the NY 32 article displaced that one you took from a car headed to the 32/208/299 junction in downtown New Paltz. While that filled some space and made the article more readable, it was sort of unnecessary because we already had a picture of that section of New Paltz in the appropriate section of the article, and it wasn't even next to that section. But also, I'd like to discourage you in the future from taking road pictures from inside a car. You get the tint from the windshield glass (easily correctable, I grant) any splotches on the windshield (not as easily correctable) and not as good an overall picture. From the pics you took in New York State Route 292, I know you can get out of a car when necessary to take a picture, and I wish more people in the roads projects would be willing to park the vehicle and get out. I have only taken one picture that I can recall from inside a car. It's worth it, really. Not lecturing you, just making a suggestion I wish more USRD editors would follow.

• Also this summer, I am thinking of taking some pictures at spots I've already identified so we can have a good Interstate 84 in New York article. We could use this in the HV project too, as it's really the only interstate route that's exclusive to the region.

Thank you to all! New GA Review Process - Review Subpages In case you haven't noticed, we initiated a new process for GA Reviews at the end of last month. The {{GA nominee}} template was modified to direct new reviews initiated on an article to begin on a subpage of article talkspace (e.g. [[Talk:Article/GA#]], where '#' is the current number of GA reviews conducted for the article, incremented automatically, starting with 1). The primary reason for this change is to address some concerns made by several Wikipedians that previous GA reviews are not easily accessible in archives, the way that featured article reviews and peer reviews are, since the review is conducted on the article's talkspace, instead of in a subpage of the featured article space or peer review space. The reason we opted to move GA reviews to article talkspace (instead of GA space) is to better maintain the personal relationship between editor(s) and reviewer(s) by keeping reviews done in an area where editors can easily access it. Nonetheless, we still desired to have better archiving and maintenance of past reviews, so that GA ultimately becomes more accountable. When an article is nominated, the nominator adds the template using a substitution, by adding {{subst:GAN|subtopic=<name of subtopic for article at GAN>}}, as well as lists the article (as usual) at WP:GAN in the appropriate category. When a reviewer initiates a review of an article, all that needs to be done is to read the template on the article's {{GA nominee}} template on its talk page, and click on the link to start the review. When the reviewer clicks on that link, they will also see some instructions on how to start a review of a GAN. For new reviewers, there's also a link to the Good Article criteria, as well as to the Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles page and the mentors list. Once an article is reviewed, the GA review page should be transcluded onto the main article talk page, by adding {{Talk:Article/GA#}} to the bottom of the talk page. This is to ensure maintain the transparency of the GA process, as well as to make editors of the article in question aware that the review is taking place. When an article is either passed or failed, there's really nothing different to do in the process, although reviewers are encouraged to utilize the {{ArticleHistory}} template, linking to the GA review subpage with the 'action#link' parameter. Did You Know... ... that there are slightly more than twice as many Good Articles (4,266) as there are Featured Articles? ... that Giggy has some really neat and useful tools to assist reviewers in conducting their reviews? ... that there are ten experienced reviewers listed on the GA mentors list that can offer assistance or a second opinion in reviewing articles? From the Editors A GA working party has initiated discussion on ways to improve the Good Article project and processes. The goal of the working party is to come up with suggestions for improvement based on recent issues and concerns raised in the past, primarily in the wake of the Great Green Dot Debate of May 2008.

Thanks for entering the contest. You are now able to select the topic that you would like to work on. While it is a good idea to know which specific list you will work on before you select a topic, you do not have to submit your list until Thursday. Once you have a topic and a list, you can start work. However, you will not be able to submit an FLC until Sunday at 00:00 (GMT).

Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not.

If you find an article in a foreign language, you can immediately mark it with {{notenglish}}, and perhaps add the language in the tag if you know it thusly: {{notenglish|Spanish}}, and thereafter follow the instructions to list it on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English.

I saw you changed the heading in Draining and development of the Everglades to "Tropical cyclones". Though that's probably the scientific name that includes all swirly angry storms, it looks a bit out of place in an article about Florida, especially when the section goes on to describe two hurricanes. Hurricanes are what they're known by here in Florida (indeed, renaming the mascot of the University of Miami probably won't go over well), or, when they're on their way and you're in line to buy plywood for your windows again, their called "godd(*& mother*&**&^#@ hurricanes". Using "cyclones" immediately puts my mental locater in the Pacific Ocean. I don't mind the other edits you're making, and in fact they are improving the article, but this one looks really odd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moni3 (talk • contribs)

Hi Julian. It was much easier doing it than telling you how to do it so here's a diff so you can see what I did. It's probably not the most elegant solution but it works. Most important thing to bear in mind is that the {{sort}} appears to use an alphabetical sorting which means 22.5 will sort after 110. Hence you need to force as many leading zeros as needed. If you need anything else, or further explanation, give me a shout.

Thanks for your quick reply - I will put it up for peer review first and polish it before FAC. There are one or two minor things to add still (population of Forksville today, the fact that it was built as a county bridge).

I don't have much explicitly on why it was built - the county built it, the highways in the county follow the creeks mostly as the terrain is pretty mountainous, and two of the major creeks meet here, so it is a major crossroads. There are 1915 and 1941 PennDOT maps that show it as the bridge on the major highway.

Again this is an educated guess but the village of Forksville was there, so they seem to have run the road through the village. The modern 87 passes just north of the "downtown".

I thought you might like to know that the Awards Center page has been deleted, along with its newsletter.  :(

So, where do we go from here?

To new and even more interesting projects, of course!

As announced in the newsletter, I've been preparing to co-coordinate a large collaboration/competition called Around the World. It was going to be run at the Awards Center, but since that no longer exists, the collaboration will be hosted somewhere else.

Around the World will begin July 15th as planned - it's location will be announced soon.

It'll be a blast. In the competition, participants will be helping to develop over 200 pages (drafts, which will be moved to article space once they are ready), using advanced tools to edit every single one of them!

This is going to be interesting.

And the event shall have awards which are being created specifically for it as we speak!

If you would like me to keep you informed of this and other interesting collaborations I'll be working on and/or organizing in the future, please drop me a note on my talk page, and I'll be happy to keep you in the know.

I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
