Proposed Page Reorganization

I've proposed a reorganization of Citizen science on its talk page. As this is my first experiment in reorganizing a page, I'm not sure of the process, whether a single page reorg requires a full WP:RFC. Please direct any comments on the reorg of the page to that talk page, but any advice on the process would be most welcome right here. Thanks 1bandsaw (talk) 20:48, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Minor improvements needed

Greetings, at the Guy Laval page, please address the following:

• Please look at articles about similar noblemen, observe what WP:Categories those articles use, and modify/apply those for your article. You can then remove the "categories needed" banners.
• In Edit mode, you can see a form at the very bottom of the page labeled "PERSONDATA". Please fill out that form, as its used for metadata.

Great work, thanks for pitching in! MatthewVanitas (talk) 21:50, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited House of Leiningen, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Leiningen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Citizen Science article.

You re-organised the CS article at the start of 2014? I've started on quite a bit of updating and general editing to help expand the article. You might want to look it over... Richard Nowell (talk) 08:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

User:Richard Nowell, it looks good overall. The one thing I might suggest is that the new header in there ('Project Portals') breaks up the overall 'Modern Technology' section, and not everything after that header is about Project portals. It might make more sense to take the text that has to do with internet related tools, including the project portals, and pull those together, putting the other things (radio, mobile, genetic, UAVs, etc.) into a separate heading. 1bandsaw (talk) 20:22, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

IP users

Actually IP users aren't allowed to vote as distinct from the essential comment: On the few occasions when decisions (usually not content-related) on Wikipedia are decided by democracy (e.g. request for adminship, elections to the arbitration committee) unregistered users may not vote; they may, however, participate in the discussions. Rather than being evidence of the untrustworthiness of unregistered users, this is in fact because of the untrustworthiness of registered users. If unregistered users were allowed to vote, disreputable registered users could log out of their accounts to vote twice (or with use of an anonymizing proxy service -- tens or hundreds of times). See also WP:MEATPUPPET, which is a type of abuse where one human registers more than one username; detecting their underlying IP addresses often reveals such schemes. Keivan.f^Talk 18:44, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Your edits

Can you start checking the reliablity of your sources? And please start citing the correct pages, few editors are patient enough or able to read through 3 pages of 17th century French to find the proper information. Thanks. --Kansas Bear (talk) 22:56, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 March newsletter

One of several of Godot13's quality submissions during round 1

That's it, the first round is done, sign-ups are closed and we're into round 2. 64 competitors made it into this round, and are now broken into eight groups of eight. The top two of each group will go through to round 3, and then the top scoring 16 "wildcards" across all groups. Round 1 saw some interesting work on some very important articles, with the round leader Freikorp (submissions) owing most of his 622 points scored to a Featured Article on the 2001 film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within which qualified for a times-two multiplier. This is a higher score than in previous years, as Godot13 (submissions) had 500 points in 2014 at the end of round 1, and our very own judge, Sturmvogel_66 (submissions) led round 1 with 601 points in 2013.

In addition to Freikorp's work, some other important articles and pictures were improved during round one, here's a snapshot of a few of them:

• Cwmhiraeth (submissions) took Bumblebee, a level-4 vital article, to Good Article;
• AHeneen (submissions) worked-up the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article, also to Good Article status;
• Rodw (submissions) developed an extremely timely article to Good Article, taking Magna Carta there some 800 years after it was first sealed;
• And last but not least, Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points) worked up a number of Featured Pictures during round 1, including the 1948 one Deutsche Mark (pictured right), receiving the maximum bonus due to the number of Wikis that the related article appears in.

You may also wish to know that The Core Contest is running through the month of March. Head there for further details - they even have actual prizes!

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Williams source

This source, A Rose of Savoy, by Hugh Noel Williams does not appear to be a reliable source. Do you have information concerning Hugh N. Williams? --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:29, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Kansas Bear, I found this source being used on several related pages here, and managed to find a copy at the local university library. The book itself does not indicate the credentials of H. Noel Williams (which is the only way his name appears in the book). It does indicate that he wrote 10 other books about royal women in and around France prior to this. The text makes note of the sources used in footnotes, including both primary sources and contemporary works. If you think this source is not reliable enough, I'll look for others. 1bandsaw (talk) 22:48, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

I could not find Williams used as a source by academic historians and his books appear to be popular histories and not academic works. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:00, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

The Royalty and Nobility Barnstar

		The Royalty and Nobility Barnstar
		I know I've only passed one out of the three articles I reviewed of yours at GAN, but I still think you are worthy of this barnstar, for your commitment to Royalty and Nobility articles, the corresponding Wikiproject and taskforce, and Wikipedia as a whole. Your contributions have not gone unnoticed. I hope you re-nominate the those two articles and apply my reviews comments.  — ₳aron 08:12, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

A question

Hello, 1bandsaw,

After an initial question to Kansas Bear regarding the better formatting of references, he asked me to ask the same question to you as he said you have expertise regarding it ;) I want to nominate this recently created article of mine for GA relatively soon [1], but the references need to be put/formatted more professionally to pass the review successfully. Kansas Bear told me you could perhaps help me with this. If you could do so, that would be really nice.

Bests and awaiting response - LouisAragon (talk) 16:32, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

LouisAragon, The way I usually try to go on references uses a few templates. I notice that your Sources section on that page already uses the Template:Cite book. You'll want to add your other books in the same way (such as Van Dyck and Briain, Shakespeare, Gender and the City). For the journal/workshop articles you should include them in Sources using Template:Cite Journal. Then to make sure all the References are formatted consistently, I use Template:Sfn, which replaces the ref tags and contents, and requires first author's last name, year, and page. References 3 and 4 on that page already use that template as an example. If you do this with all the references on the page, they'll have a nice consistent look. I hope this helps, but if you have more questions, let me know! 1bandsaw (talk) 15:57, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
