Talk:Juha Vainio

Translations

Adding translations for Finnish-language song/album names was suggested in the peer review. I'll try to add some, although some of them are pretty problematic to accurately translate. I wrote "Moustached Bachelors" for "Vanhojapoikia viiksekkäitä" -- bachelor is not completely accurate, but I can't find an English term for a male spinster anywhere... "Kotkan poikii ilman siipii" is also difficult since the title is a wordplay where "kotka" can be understood to mean either the town or the animal (eagle). That will probably need to be clarified in the text instead of just translating one way or the other. Jafeluv (talk) 08:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   I am little puzzled by the phrsing of Originally, the nickname belonged to music teacher Arvo Vainio, who had a big nose like a comic book character called Junnu. Later the name was given to another Vainio, Juha.. Were the two related, or is Vainio a common surname? Why did Juha acquire the nickname? Done

   Changed the last sentence to Later the name was given to Juha because he had the same last name as the teacher. Hopefully that clarifies that the two were not related and that the last name was the reason for Juha acquiring the nickname. Jafeluv (talk) 23:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC) Done

   The prose does not yet meet the criteria of "reasonably well written". I made a few minor copy-edits, but it could do with a comprehensive copy-edit. The WP:Guild of copyeditors may be able to help. Done

   Left a request there. Jafeluv (talk) 23:15, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

   OK, much improved. Jezhotwells (talk) 15:11, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   I assume good faith for all off-line and Finnish language sources. article appears to be suitably referenced.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Olli Miettinen was nicknamed "the emperor of Fennia", and several different ceremonies were held in his honour. For example, he was crowned in 1958. The motto of the ceremony was "Work for the unemployed, booze for Miettinen". Is this really necessary? Done

   Probably not; removed. Jafeluv (talk) 23:08, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

   What are causeries? Needs explanation. Done

   Changed to lighthearted column-like text. Is it clearer like that? Jafeluv (talk) 08:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

   '' It is said that he made the choice by rolling a die. What was the alternative? Done

   The alternative was continuing his musical career full-time. I'll try to find a way to make it clear in the text. Jafeluv (talk) 08:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

   Now clarified, I hope. Jafeluv (talk) 18:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

   Shortly before quitting teaching, Vainio organized an excursion for the pupils. What was special about this? Why is it mentioned? Done

   Added "to express his gratitude of the time he had had with them". The point of that sentence is to show that Vainio had enjoyed his time as a teacher, although he never returned to the profession. Jafeluv (talk) 08:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Licensed and captioned

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On Hold for seven days for a through copy-edit to be performed. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

   Everything has been addressed, so I am now happy to pass this as a good article. Congratulations! Jezhotwells (talk) 15:11, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
