Assessment on William Rawson

Hi. I was actually surprised to see the article classed Start initially - it's short (at the moment) so it's obviously Stub - correct call in the end. Thanks for your efforts. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 01:13, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guidance on assessing

Hi. I have been assessing articles for a little while now. I have always refrained from uprating very poorly sourced articles, as I believe it is a core issue. I have been discussing this with another editor, who believes that addition of information, sourced or otherwise, means he should rate upward from, say, stub to start. I won't budge an unreferenced article from stub, as I don't trust the integrity of the information without sources. What are your thoughts?

Also, is there a nailed-down guideline or decent essay related to assessment, particularly BLPs? I would be grateful for guidance to ensure I do the correct thing within the assessment department. Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 19:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Tom. I have since had a good look at some Project talk page postings regarding this issue, and have to agree that my parameters are somewhat restrictive. I will happily loosen off up to Start, but I would expect to see some decent verification after that. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 13:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that link! I must of been using the template and forgot to copy the correct web address. Silly mistake, thank you for spotting and correcting it. What would we wikidragons do without the wikignomes and wikifairys ;-). As far as the article goes I keep meaning to resume adding references as I only got to her early political career.

Rollback given

I have 1 granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Re: Napoleon peer review

It is no problem - I do not watch peer reviews I do as there are a lot of them. I do go through the PR list every few days and try and respond to comments or questions, but my comments look unchanged now, so I doubt I would have even noticed the changes. I am not an expert on Napoleon by any means, but I have been to Les Invalides and seen his tomb, and know a little about him and was surprised there was not more his tomb or on his meeting and marrying Josephine. I was trying to say there will be a lot of people who might pop up at FAC and say "But what about the crucial role of Napoleon at X?", so get it as good as possible before FAC and be ready there. Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:31, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prepping for Napoleon FAC

I suspect that the frequent use of "whilst" and "though" might get the attention of Tony1 who would ask what is wrong with "while" and "although". So, you might wish to get a copyeditor to go over the article first. I can suggest EyeSerene, AnnaFrance, Dabomb87, GrahamColm among several that volunteer for such work. Note that with an article this big, they would need quite some time and may not individually catch every issue that could warrant attention at FAC. Jappalang (talk) 20:20, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article is fantastic! I'm just curious, was it for realism you choose Bonaparte Crossing the Alps over Napoleon Crossing the Alps? Another image inquiry I must make is whether you felt Image:16 Napoleons exole St Helena June1970.jpg was out of place in an article full of paintings. I reckon this photo really makes history come alive for the reader, but I do like the image in the Saint Helena section of a man clearly withering away. Alientraveller (talk) 17:08, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image of him looking like he's stumbled out of bed will need a new home though, so it could be uploaded to Commons under a better name. If we need to cut down on images, the Death section could benefit from this spectacular painting replacing the ship. The sarcophogus image is better than the one currently in Les Invalides so it could be moved there, unless you want to keep it and move it to the left. Alientraveller (talk) 17:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, what alternative would we have to this? Should the ship image move to the left? Or considering it was the tomb image that was recommended, shall the ship go? Alientraveller (talk) 21:05, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to encourage you to keep up the quality work. People like you are the reason people like me get involved with Wikipedia!

Re: Napoleon article

Thanks for your comment. From my (limited) experience with Napoleonic scholarly literature, Bainville's Napoléon isn't seen particularly as an ideologically coloured or motivated monograph (by Action Française standards or even by 1920s standards) — frankly, I'd say Victor Davis Hanson has a much poorer reputation among historians than Jacques Bainville. While Bainville was ... selectively Germanophobic, as a traditionalist monarchist he was also ambivalent (not to say hostile) to the legacy of Napoleonic period and certainly not interested in whitewashing or rehabilitating Napoleon. I suppose "drawing on research by" is problematic, though, because while Bainville was the first (to my knowledge) to make the argument, I imagine it's been more or less independently confirmed. To put it this way, the previous version specified no one; I figured it was at least a start to plug a name. Maybe we ought to revert until we find a citation outright. I have no doubt it's the commonly accepted version.

All the same, I think you're being unfair in the first paragraph. "There are those who admire his accomplishments" is the kind of carefully-guarded phrase one might use for Stalin, Hitler, Pinochet, or Saddam Hussein. I think it's reasonably fair to say that "many" — from a Hungarian philosopher like Tomas Molnar to a French prime minister like Dominique de Villepin to Oxbridge academicians to the seemingly endless market for Ludwig's biography and his scores of imitators — admire Napoleon. (Having said that, his critics include names commanding far more respect than Victor Davis Hanson — Georges Bernanos, A.J.P. Taylor, John Ralston Saul, etc. I think it's imperative over the long term to develop this section into a sub-article.) Albrecht (talk) 16:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

thanks. on the 'many' point, I agree that many do admire his accomplishments, though using many and some appears to be generally frowned on as vague terms. people could accurately use the term many in relation to Stalin and Hitler. 'there are those' does sound guarded, it maybe better to simply remove it. Tom B (talk) 17:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stateless (band)

Hello, I saw you assesed the Stateless (band) article from Stub class to Start class. I am aware of the criteria being used to asses certain articles, but I would like to know what in particular made you choose for Start class for this article. I actually want to know where I should work on harder or if I'm doing something wrong, or what is needed for this to be a better article. I read all the wikipedia guides and all, but you know, it's not always that easy. My only goal is to contribute to the article and try to only use verifiable sources and facts. I just need to know a little better how to improve this, to let's say a C-class article (1 step at the time!). Thanks! Hans (talk) 16:23, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(in response to your answer on my talk) Ok, thanks alot. I'll try to add more content, and when their new album will be released I'm sure lots of new sources to cite will pop up. I'll try to add how they formed (found an article about that) and make a "musical style" section, which seems common for most band articles. And I'm thinking of asking a native English speaker to rewrite most of the text, my English is too average to really make this a better article. But I'll do my best the next couple of months and I'll ask for a new assessment when I think it might be ready for a C-class article. But having a good base structure and already having all the facts (verifiably) sourced is a good start for a better article, I believe. Thanks for your time! Hans (talk) 16:50, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Layout of Neanderthal references

Mr. Bradbury, I see that you have just done a major cleanup of the markup structures in the Neanderthal article. The Neanderthal article is the kind of article that I love to read in Wikipedia, and so I really appreciate your work. I have a question regarding the ordering of the References section citations. In all other wikipedia articles I have read (maybe 50), references (as opposed to notes) are sorted in alphabetical order. I find no rhyme or reason in the current References order in the article. What am I missing? (I am a new editor, and seeing that your work displays mastery of wikipedia rules and processes, I feel good about asking you.) Thanks in advance for your answer.Middle Fork (talk) 22:09, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Got your note, checked the Neanderthal article. Great!! Thanks. Had I been more secure, I would have done it myself when I first noticed the problem. I will be more bold in the future. By the way, I wish the initial editors had not embedded the vast majority of full references in the notes field. Makes it very difficult to quickly scan to make sure the key players in various sub-controversies are being recognized in the article. But when I made that suggestion, it was rejected by someone who, I felt, had developed uncomfortable "ownership" vibes.Middle Fork (talk) 04:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tom, thank you for your suggestions. The point is, I am not able to find any negative review of Berkeley's work, at least online. I am sure that there are some, though, and I will keep looking. Also - I will try to add some image, maybe a scan of an album cover.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

Thank you for the recent assessments of Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 10th Earl of Shaftesbury and Elaine Hamilton-O'Neal. I appreciate the work that you are doing. For my future reference, could you direct me to the MOS regarding image sizing and formatting of references or citations in articles? I'm finding a bit of inconsistency between individuals assessing articles. I would really like to improve my editing and alignment with the MOS. Could you also provide a link that will let me know how to format the references in the manner that you revised?

Happy New Year!

Best wishes for the New Year!
Wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013!

Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year.

Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, with the help of many dedicated Wikipedians!

What white space error are you talking about? I see none in the prior revision. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 14:46, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

thx for your message. you can see harry reid and dick durbin are combined in one frame. however for the house of rep pictures, there was space to the right of the individual images rather than them being in pairs, the frames didn't seem to resize automatically Tom B (talk) 17:31, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Napoleon

Hello I read one of your edits on Napoleon Bonaparte that convinced me that the article is to big and that it should be around 10,000 words not 17,000. I feel specially the battles are to much mentioned in details. Today I removed a lot of unnecessary repetitive information's only to see myself revert by one editor. I opened a debate on the talk page and I believe your input could be very important. I believe in consensus and collaboration and didn't want to make further changes until this issue is debated and decided by many editors.Thank you.Aubmn (talk) 22:19, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Once upon a time

Previously you were listed as one of the top editors at Jane Austen and I thought you might still be interested in literature and article improvement at Wikipedia past GA status. I have added two new sections to the article to move it towards further upgrade and was wondering if you might do a review to assess were it is now if you could give it a glance. Cheers.

Article assessment

Hello, I noticed you recently assessed the article I requested to be assessed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Assessment and I thank you for that. However, I was hoping it would get checked against B-class criteria. So, if you could assess it against B-class and give me some suggestions I'd be grateful. If you don't have time could you put it back to WP:BIOG requests for the assessment list. Best regards, OakMapping (talk) 17:00, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
