DYK for Portrait of Pére Tanguy

On 28 March 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Portrait of Pére Tanguy, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the final Portrait of Père Tanguy (pictured) was purchased by the sculptor Auguste Rodin and now resides in his museum in Paris? If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Cheers, BigDom 16:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

van Gogh

Hi Chimino, Thanks for your support along the way, initial DYK nomination for Tanguy and I'm guessing you had something to do with the second nomination for the same article! It's very much appreciated. Also, thanks for fixing the list of works images before I even had a chance to notice that I missed the "100px" - YIKES! If you'd like to weigh in, I left a comment on User talk:Modernist's talk page about starting a grouping of Wheat Fields paintings.--CaroleHenson (talk) 14:50, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, wasn't me this time, although the article is certainly worthy. Excellent job, as always. The Wheat Fields series sounds like a great idea. I'll be trying my hand soon at a couple articles as well..."Undergrowth with Two Figures" and hopefully Cezanne's "The Cardplayers". I may tap your wealth of knowledge at some point.--Chimino (talk) 17:26, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! When you get to the article, if you want help with the final editing let me know. I know that's the part that always seems to take me time and I still miss silly things - so I'd be happy to take a look when you'd like.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Checking in regarding the VVG List of Works

Hi,

Since you've done quite a bit of work on the list, I thought I'd touch base with you. I don't have to be told twice to be bold. I'm kind of a plunge in there kind of gal. As I've been adding more images, I've had a couple of questions.

Well, first a comment just so you understand my motivation. I get your point about not wanting to compete with the Van Gogh Gallery sites. I guess it has been disheartening for me personally to come to the list of works for my beloved Vincent and see so many question marks. Besides that, it's been a challenge to write articles about a grouping of info where I first spend a lot of time sorting out (in spreadsheets) all the information about the group/potential groups to ensure that I have the right images - matched to F#s so that I'm sure the info is accurate before I try matching info up to the F#s. That's a very long way (sorry) of saying I've taken it on personally to make it easier for future writing and for viewers that might happen upon this list. Thanks so much for being similarly driven to ensure that the title, date and location info is accurate - without that it would have been a LOT harder to match up images, titles, dates, etc.!!!

Now to the questions:

• At first it made sense to me to sort by year and then by F number -- but that's just the way I approached it and didn't hear any concern about going with that approach so I went full steam ahead. As I get into the works of 1884 and 1885 there are a lot of groupings were the works have the same name, so it seems wise to keep those items grouped together. Do you have any thoughts about the sort order of the images after year?
• Again, being bold I just jumped right in -- but if you see something stylistically let me know (for instance, I'm just now seeming to notice that there are generally WP links for the museums, but not necessarily the city, state, country. Any tips you'd like to share?
• I ran across an interesting painting F195 The Willow which is reported to have been stolen and returned and now owned by some institution (bank?) but the listing says private collection. Had you run across that when you were doing the clean-up? Just curious.

Good to be chatting with you again!--CaroleHenson (talk) 01:06, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carole. Don't worry, I think I speak for the community when I say we love your bold editing. When I brought up the "gallery" issue, I wasn't disparaging the idea of adding as many pics to the listing as possible; only meant to say I felt it should be informational foremost when I was reformatting the listing. There were many missing paintings, and several paintings Van Gogh may have worked with the same title were all grouped as one version, etc. I just wanted to get across I didn't want listings deleted only because they lacked an accompanying image. Of course the F-numbers you're adding go above and beyond what I was doing, and should ensure all of his oil paintings are accounted for...I also agree with Modernist in that eventually all his works should be listed. My personal mission in the beginning, though, was to get all the oils up there.

I'll try to get back to you on the F195...admittedly most of the info I got was from second-hand sources. Sounds like it could be a fun search. Also, while I have you here, do you mind scanning the article I've created for Cézanne's The Card Players? It's currently at User:Chimino/Work1 and I would appreciate a neutral POV edit/check. Thanks!--Chimino (talk) 10:58, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I found an article from when The Willow was recovered in 2006:[1]. Feel free to change the listing; I put "private collection" for any work which wasn't currently displayed at a museum (other than Niarchos, due to his vast, notable collection).--Chimino (talk) 12:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, great! I took a look at your article. I really like it - a fun article - and well written! I just had two minor edits, not totally sure if the placement of quotes around a place are correct now that I think of it, though. Mind taking a look at that?--CaroleHenson (talk) 14:50, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, those were good edits. I'll put it as an article now. Your recent work gave me inspiration to create an article of that magnitude...I'm amazed by how quickly you've been able to crank these out. Anyway, keep it touch--Chimino (talk) 22:07, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Will do, you're definitely one of the rays of sunshine here! Great job on the article!--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:51, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cézanne

Thank you for your note. I'm planning on spending a few months working on Cézanne articels, mostly stubs until I'm comfortable with the sources, and of course your wellcome to help out if so inclined, I know you from the van Gogh articles. Best. Ceoil 07:52, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The Card Players

On 30 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Card Players, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the French Government issued a postage stamp (pictured) bringing attention to the theft of Cézanne's The Card Players in 1961? 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.

List of Works - Chimino

Hi Chimino, I hope you're doing well! I've been wondering if you've been working on the article about the forged painting, if so, it would be great to know!

Question for you. As I've been making my way through the List of Works for VVG I've run into four paintings that I cannot find a home for, they don't seem to be a duplicate row with another name. Do you remember running into these before?

• Still Life: The Saurs Herrings 1886 Kunstmuseum Basel, Basel, Switzerland
• Smoked Herrings 1886 Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, Netherlands
• Self-Portraits (pencil and ink) 1887 Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
• Poppy Flowers 1886–87 Stolen August 2010 from Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil palace, Cairo

By the way, the work done to ensure the correct list of works, museums, etc. before I started adding images makes it SOOO much easier than this could have been. Thanks! --CaroleHenson (talk) 02:03, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carole, the two herrings paintings are on this site: [2]. I notice that page also has Vase with Viscaria listed at the palace in Cairo, but I believe that is erroneous as it is clearly Poppy Flowers which was stolen from that location (likely the painting just above it on the page). However, the wikipage describes it as a 30x30cm painting, which further adds to the confusion. edit: This article has the correct picture for Poppy Flowers, hopefully we can find a larger-sized version to place on the page[3]. The confusion leads me to believe the Impressionists Gallery site may not be so reliable after all...

The pen & ink dual self-portrait is listed two pages over (and should be instantly recognizable when you see it): [4]. Take care--Chimino (talk) 07:03, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and as far as the second Gachet...I've found it's been questioned for three reasons: the fact it is not mentioned in his letters (only the first), the strange behavior of Gachet's son who held the painting (and other works) nearly 50 years after his death, and the obvious fact so many forgeries of Vincent have taken place every VG is questioned unless provenance and his own words prove 100% otherwise. Still, nothing has been established to concretely dispute its authenticity, and one writer whose book I found at a local library makes the point Gachet (and his son) were amateur artists, but nothing near the skill level required to convincingly falsify a portrait of that magnitude.--Chimino (talk) 07:09, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of works: Thanks so much! With the images I was able to resolve the two herring images (already had them, but they were named bloaters and I thought big for herrings (but then what do I know?)). And, the link you gave me provided the F# for the self-portrait, so that's worked out, too. Regarding the Cairo picture, it looks like the Vase with Viscaria may be the same as Poppy Flowers if I'm reading some articles about the stolen painting correctly. It seems I should just add the alternate names for the three paintings.

Ahh I see; that must be it as it matches both the Impressionists site and the pic on Wikicommons. So the second article I mentioned had the wrong painting listed, and must be part of the private collection as stated from the other sources. I'll fix the Poppy Flowers page then, as it is obviously larger than the 30 x 30 as stated in the article (from a generalized claim from the BBC of it being 1ft x 1ft). Sheesh, my head is spinning.--Chimino (talk) 12:37, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting info about forgeries. It gets very complicated it seems and interesting that every VG painting is questioned until verified. Thanks for your help!!!--CaroleHenson (talk) 07:33, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're doing great work, Carole. I was blown away by how much you've added to the gallery part of the listing.--Chimino (talk) 12:38, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding the pretty image of the Poppy Flowers, for some reason, though, it's still showing the initial verision of the link in black and white. (Maybe will update later after some synching process?). I'm getting VERY excited that after two months, I'm almost done with the images and #s for the List of Works. I just have to finish the section for 1885 which will probably be done within the next few days. Whew, it's been a long road, but rewarding, too.!!

I wonder if the 30 x 30 cm size is nearly correct. I saw in several places that when the painting was stolen the 12 x 12 inch canvas was cut from its frame.--CaroleHenson (talk) 14:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait of Theo Van Gogh

Hi Chimino, I hope all is well with you today. I had an interesting potential discovery the other day when I was working on portraits by Van Gogh. There's [painting at the Van Gogh Museum] that is generally classified as a Self-Portrait that is titled "Portrait of Theo van Gogh" (F294), when you were synching up the data in the List of Works, did you run across that? Just wondering. I keep debating about whether to add it to the Portrait list but since the identification is coming from the VGM, it would seem pretty likely it's right. Do you have any thoughts about that? Thanks much!--CaroleHenson (talk) 18:18, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is strange; I've always seen it classified as Self-Portrait with Straw Hat. It's been 10 years since I was at the VGM and can't remember its title at the time, either. Sure doesn't look like Theo, does it?--Chimino (talk) 23:21, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know, it doesn't look like Theo. Well, I'll let that percolate and see if anything bubbles up. I've been thinking about a Family Portraits article, if I work on that I'll try scoping it out more then. I agree it's very strange!--CaroleHenson (talk) 00:33, 15 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's recent 'scholarship': see for example this. But VGM traditionally very conservative in its pronouncements, so it's likely to be a fairly well researched thing. FightingMac (talk) 07:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it seems the two portraits certainly are of Theo at this point. I think what threw me (and likely others) off-guard was the red hair and beard, whereas Theo has been traditionally depicted (in film, etc) as brunette and clean-shaven.--Chimino (talk) 11:28, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Hi. Unless you've decided you really don't want your article on DYK, I'm not sure there's a need to remove it. Once it gets further "up" the page, someone will notice it hasn't been dealt with yet, and take a closer look. There really hasn't been any significant opposition to it. Of course, someone might dislike your new hook, or might suddenly decide they don't think the article is eligible at all, but really that seems quite unlikely. It's got this far, maybe you should let it go all the way. Up to you, of course. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:13, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the concern; I've decided to suspend the nomination, mainly because a claim in the hook/lede couldn't be verified by an online source. While it is verified in a (reputable) book source, the other two reviewing editors felt it should've been reworded to match the language of the online sources. I disagree, as I feel from a historical perspective (it being the FIRST microbrewery of the modern era) it was important to keep it as is (and I will be changing the article back to reflect this).

In other words, a strictly personal decision :-)--Chimino (talk) 04:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Van Gogh: Couple Walking Between Rows of Poplars (Undergrowth with two figures)

Hi Chimino.

You put a comment in my ongoing debate with the management at Vincent van Gogh concerning the "darkness" of Vincent's last paintings at Auvers and you cite Undergrowth with Two Figures and reference a Teachers manual.

Of course this painting is very significant in both Vincent's work and the history of art in general (Wouter van der Ween and Peter Knapp p.164) because of the overwhelming force of colour that he brings to bear on his subject (those are blue trunks there). It presages Tree Roots and Trunks, probably Vincent's last and most daring painting, and abstract expressionism in general, in which the subject matter essentially becomes the painting itself. The business of the couple being as formal and rooted as the poplars themselves being an important part of that abstraction.

But what does all that have to do with being "dark", with Vincent's mood, which is what is at stake with my ongoing spat with the management at VvG? I don't see that at all.

But I don't want to be seen as challenging you here and please don't feel you have to justify yourself. But it is important I think. Vincent's last 70 or so canvases at Auvers are a triumphant expression of the force of nature that "rolls through all things" to quote Tintern Abbey and I am absolutely not going to sit around and let the article mythologise Vincent's achievement in this way. There is nothing "dark" about Vincent's last work. On the contrary it could not possibly be more vibrant and alive. FightingMac (talk) 08:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a sense of doom to many of his final works, or at least that is how it has been interpreted, despite the vibrancy and beautiful color of the paintings. I brought up the Undergrowth painting due to how it has been interpreted, the figures being "lost" within their environment, and how it compares to an earlier painting where two figures are roaming free. It's certainly nothing I would add to any article, as it's my own opinion.

If Hulsker and other historians write regarding Vince's finals works reflecting his souring mood and mental state, should that not be sufficient? If you do not wish him to be "mythologised" in such a manner, there must be historians who feel similar to you who you can source to make a counter-argument (rather than taking it to the talk page)?--Chimino (talk) 11:25, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chimino. Thanks for your response. It may be that some of the older generation historians suggested a sense of doom lay in his paintings but times have moved on and one emphasis current in Van Gogh scholarhip is actually to deconstruct that process of mythologisation - for example Natalie Heinich 's The Glory of Van Gogh: An Anthropology of Admiration while historians like Andreas Obst garner rich harvests from minutely examining some detail of his life or death - in Obst's case the location of his first grave.

The problem with the article is that a statement was made and not cited, even when challenged. I don't have Hulsker and neither do my libraries, but I think you can take it that in fact he doesn't say any such thing because he's not cited in the article for saying "severely dark". He did apparently make a remark about Old Man In Sorrow (At Eternity's Gate) to the effect that it reflects Vincent's mood but that must be speculative becasue the only source we have for Vincent's moods (and this is not contentious) - certainly after Arles - are his letters and this painting is not mentioned in the letters (it's also somewhere round his 80th last painting). Just because an artist makes a painting about a "dark" subject doesn't mean his mood is dark.

Instead, finally a biographer David Sweetman is cited by the current management at VvG and I await a copy of that to discover actually what he said. I do not expect to be overwhelmed by it.

I repeat, it is flat out false to say that Vincent's last painting at Auvers are either "severely dark" or "darker than before". It is a very great disservice to van Gogh and because it is in Wikipedia it has been repeated on literally dozens of mirror sites all over the world. It is a shocking disgrace and not least because the current management plainly don't care.

Of course I can cite historians who "agree" with me. The popular historian Simon Schama for a start, whose BBC program on Van Gogh starts with Wheat Field and Crows, which he describes as the "beginning of Modern art", and which goes on to stress the vibrancy and surpassing beauty of his final work at Auvers. But that's not the point. The first emphasis must be to nail the lie, because lie it is. What the agenda can be I simply can't imagine. But it is a lie.

Thank you anyway for your contribution. Appreciated. You might like to know your opinion of Undergrowth with two figures is shared by Professor Cotter of New York. FightingMac (talk) 13:49, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. Undergrowth is the VG painting nearest to my current residence, so it holds a special place. I can more see your point now, and there is indeed much mythology regarding Vincent's work (such as Wheatfield with Crows being his final painting). As you have some reliable sources, why not expand the article with them, something like "Van Gogh's Auvers period was historically considered to reflect a dark and somber mood", leave the current examples in the article, then follow up with "Newer research counters the previous belief...", etc. I think it would do the bio great service and end the current edit war.

I found when I was making The Card Players article, many long-held assumptions regarding Cézanne's work over the previous century are being corrected only within the past few years, with infrared technology and such. If older research can be updated with new findings, they should be included.--Chimino (talk) 15:22, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I love Undergrowth too. The coloration owes very much to Anton Mauve, though with a much brighter palette of course, a master colourist who gave Vincent his first lessons in both oil and watercolour. My personal belief is that Mauve breaking with Vincent was Vincent's saddest trial.

I'm afraid my comments above were looked in by someone back at VvG who takes considerable umbrage at being called a 'liar' it seems. But he (or she, I'm not sure) over-reacts to a perfectly ordinary English idiom 'to nail a lie'. I hope this won't embarrass you.

As for editing the section, I had something of the sort you suggest in mind. However it's impossible to achieve a consensus I think. My comments on the Talk page keep on being redacted, archived, whatever (used to that sort of revisionism where I come from ;-)). I think I shall probably withdraw from the fray, not worth the candle frankly. It will be picked up FAC time.

Thank you again for your attention. FightingMac (talk) 17:36, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome! Totally agree with your rant. FYI, I have been writing the article on the Bell, CA scandal for a year and a half.

I am not saying Quan is crooked but I sure don't trust her, she reminds me of the Mayor of Temple City, now incarcerated. 05:39, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

She is carrying out Dellums' "world view" through her mayorship, only with much more ambition. Her utopian view of an Oakland where everyone is employed, noone commits crime as a result, and all the benefits with none of the sacrifice is exactly what is wrong with Oakland politics, and I'm afraid we'll see the city dragged down to new lows before she's out of office. And per usual, there really isn't anyone else outside of Chief Batts and ex-City Attorney John Russo who are capable of turning the city around (and I'm sure neither want the job). A beautiful city with so much potential constantly undone by self-serving and incompetent public officials...uncannily reminiscent of The Wire's Baltimore.--Chimino (talk) 07:09, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait of Dr. Gachet

Hi Chimino,

I see you have edited at Portrait of Dr. Gachet, where I've just been making a few preliminary edits.

I'm planning to contribute stubs for the entire Auvers period. I'll be working backwards in the catalogue I think. All welcome to join! I suggest we take Farms at Auvers as our model, though naturally I shall leave Gachet basically as it's been contributed so far, though I should like to take out out the junior high stuff I mention in the Talk page.

"Self-confessed serial rapist"

"Self-confessed serial rapist" is a legitimate descriptor that is accurate and well-sourced and belongs in the lede. Several editors engaged in a long discussion of this issue, with one editor wanting it to appear as the first descriptor. Our compromise was to keep it in the lede in the third position.

That this descriptor appears later in the article is quite normal; the lede is supposed to summarize the article. I fail to see why it is "inflammatory;" though I do think Cleaver's jailhouse admissions in Soul on Ice were inflammatory. Many people will only read the lede; how can you leave out this very important fact about Cleaver's life, that he was "a self-confessed serial rapist," without failing to inform such readers?Apostle12 (talk) 08:48, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's already in the article, and his being a convicted criminal is already in the lead. As was already stated in talk before, Cleaver is not notable for his crimes, he's notable for his activism and work with the BPP. I wasn't the one who removed initally removed that line from the lead, but I'll be one to argue it should not be readded.--Chimino (talk) 08:52, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Please refer to the Eldridge Cleaver talk section titled "A serial rapist writer? An attempted murder activist?" The inclusion of this descriptor in third position was a carefully worked out compromise. One editor argued forcefully that it should be in FIRST position. Not notable?! How can you make such a claim? Cleaver's frankness regarding his serial rapes in Soul on Ice was what initially gained him fame (or notoriety). Apostle12 (talk) 08:58, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One or two editors are irrelevant compared to the thousands or millions who may eventually read the page. A quick websearch of online biographies or obituaries on Cleaver will show NO results where his rapes are one of the first things mentioned about him. Everything is writer, activist, minister, born-again Republican, etc. I respect your opinion about Cleaver, but to insert something in the lead of the article which is not a clear, defining hallmark of a person is OR and one of the main reasons Wikipedia is not taken seriously.--Chimino (talk) 09:01, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jayne Mansfield

I saw that you were listed at Wikipedia:PRV. Would you mind coming by to help Jayne Mansfield? Her article needs a lot of work. The problem remains that she existed a long time ago, so sources are lacking, but I noticed many sentences are awkwardly written. The article seems misleading or even confusing in some parts. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! ★Dasani★ 04:25, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll take a look when I have time; I'm sure she's an interesting subject.--Chimino (talk) 11:12, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cory Booker controversy

I started a dispute resolution thread over Michael2127's strong POV editing of the Booker page.

Your GA nomination of Newark, New Jersey

The article Newark, New Jersey you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Newark, New Jersey for things which need to be addressed. Ankit Maity^Talk_Contribs 16:48, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up; myself and another editor have been working to improve the article since the initial assessment; my internet connection has been spotty due to local weather, but I hope to complete the necessary changes by the deadline.--23:13, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

File:Mighty-Gabby-2007.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Mighty-Gabby-2007.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

• If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Chimino}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
  or use the {{own}} template.

• If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:26, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reworking that a bit, and I think the new version (now scheduled here) is definitely better. I'm also glad that the approval process went much more smoothly than I might have feared.

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders nominated for GA but did not pass

Hi Chimino, I just did the GA review for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which you nominated a few weeks ago. I did not feel the article was up to GA standards so I did not pass it. The biggest issue was some confirmed plagiarism and further suspected plagiarism, followed by some WP:UNDUE issues and questionable use of some sources. See the review for full details. I checked the article history and did not see that you really did any serious work on it in the recent past, maybe you just looked at it and thought it looked like it might be GA, so why not? Anyway, thanks for submitting the nomination... Cheers! Zad68 04:58, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, Zad. Yea, that's pretty much it...I was studying the subject for school, thought it was a fairly well put-together article, and nominated it due to the lack of medical GA/FAs on here. I can see the issues now that you mention them. Anyway, thanks again...Chimino (talk) 05:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tourette syndrome and DSM-5

Hi, Chimino ... thank you so much for extending to me the kindness of inquiring on talk (either mine or the article talk) ... that was most considerate of you, and has restored a wee bit of my old faith in this place. See my talk: DSM-5 was just published, and the changes are not well documented yet (when I checked last week, even getting hold of a new copy of DSM looked hard, and I'd like to find a high quality online source). That blurb, by the way, is too long, and if I can verify the DSM-5 changes to a high quality source, I believe they include the elimination of transient tics, which will need to be reflected once I can find a high quality source or locate someone who has obtained a copy of the new DSM. There aren't as many medical editors around any more, so this might not be an easy task ... thanks again for asking. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:27, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that might be the case (need for update). I originally saw the article listed as a potential TFA to coincide with the release of DSM-5, but agree the article may be more beneficial with the updated classification. Is this the type of source you were seeking?--Chimino (talk) 17:33, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, again ... I'll respond on my talk to keep it all together. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:15, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dayton Metro Population

Hi. I wanted to request your assistance with the population figures for the Dayton Metro Area population. After reviewing the official U.S. Census Bureau Statistics for 2010, it is very clear that the population is 841,502 as referenced here: [1] These figures should not be up for debate since they are published facts from a government agency. I though since you were an administrator to Wikipedia, that you might be able to help with the edit warring on this page.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Thanks for uploading File:Garnett Silk.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:28, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
