POTD 2014-09-05
Hey, that image (or the previous version of it) was already POTD before. See
- Hi Howcheng. Yeah, I was aware of the Wave, but as it was a different reproduction (and fairly different), I figured there was no problem running it. As for the Suburbs... no, I didn't realize that these had already been on the main page. Did you see that we ended up featuring two versions of the same image? Anyways, I'll be removing that image (pinging Armbrust as he should know) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:01, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, I saw that in the delist nomination. I don't know what happened to the POTD template on the original. I'll put it back on. —chat} 15:24, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Crisco, can you please take a look at this and see whether the reviewer is on the right track here? The requirements mentioned seem unusual to me... Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:02, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Patently ridiculous. If we held any process to that standard (even FA), it would grind to a stop or result in people only using online, English references. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:56, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- You explained it much better than I could have. Thanks for taking it on. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:35, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

The Cup
Whether I win or loose, I'm certainly not doing this again. It does take some of the fun out of working on FP... A small number of sore losers take care of the rest...--Godot13 (talk) 05:12, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- One of the reasons I've never bothered. ;) It's enough to create content and know that we are advancing humanity's knowledge base. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:00, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
September FLCs failed log
Hi. Hope you're well. Would it possible for you to go back and sign these three lists you added to failed log, just so it's clear and I can close them? [[1]], [[2]] and [[3]]. Thanks. Cowlibob (talk) 23:05, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- D'oh! Signed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:47, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- All closed now! I was wondering if I could ask you a favour, do you have time to try to restore this image? It's not really in good shape but I'm hoping to use it in a future FLC. [[4]] Cowlibob (talk) 14:49, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- What are you thinking of? Sharpening? Short of retaking the image (impossible, obviously) there's not really much that can be done to get rid of that blur. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:56, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Is everybody
inserting new edit notices just to scare me? They jump and pop up everywhere ... a bit of a surprize. Well, gues this is the punishment I was away for too long. Yngvadottir got a dog. Well, it is nice - when one gets used to it. Petty girl. Hafspajen (talk) 17:07, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- Dhalia? Yes, she was quite beautiful. Her character in Lewat Djam Malam was a plucky one too. I should really go through my scans of old magazines and expand some of the articles on her. I mean, the start-class article I wrote doesn't even mention her (failed) venture at becoming a film producer. Thanks for the paintings; they are quite nice. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:44, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
- She has this wonderful clean, peaceful face the orientals have, that no European girl can come close in a hundred days. Hafspajen (talk) 05:51, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Indeed. I love this shot of her. I just wish I knew where the negatives are (or if they're even extant) to scan them... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:52, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Here to make you cry (or somebody cry)
Somebody is going to cry or I'm not going to feel like it was worth the effort. I want to get this image [5] onto Wikipedia (or Commons; I don't care which; I just want to get it). Can you or Hafspajen (no, you don't escape Haf just because I'm asking here) get it or tell me how to do it in one simple step (if it is more than that it will be me that is crying and that wasn't in my plan at all). Big kiss to anybody that uploads it (I'm told my wiki-kisses cause unconsciousness and delirium, so it's up to you whether you want to put in a claim). Belle (talk) 02:20, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- I believe Dcoetzee (on Commons) has a bot that can do that. Quite frankly, I'm surprised this one isn't on Commons yet. Perhaps Dcoetzee hasn't had time to go through the most recent Google Art Images. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:23, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I'll go and make Dcoetzee cry tomorrow then. Belle (talk) 02:25, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- If he doesn't want to run the bot for one image, there's also this — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:28, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- But it's not working for me. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

- Well, Belle, this is at 1200px tall. Can't figure out how to get the original size. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:50, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Belle, it may not be as nice as a mojito on the beach, but I've got something for you. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:37, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hey, great picture. Was looking for this everywhere... was actually thinking about nominating it ... so, people start fighting - will see who will get to it first...
- If you want to nominate, go right ahead. I'm just happy to have worked out a way to get high quality scans... even from the MET or Rijksmuseum. :D — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:55, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. You can have a certificate to redeem this "Mwah" whenever you next want to collapse and hallucinate (for some context on all this twittering about my poisoned kiss). Hafspajen, I'm going to write an article for it, so you might wish to hold off from the nomination (also, if you cross me, you are going to get pinched to death; not by me though, I have an army of trained crabs; those ones with one big claw because they are the worse kind). Belle (talk) 07:47, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Beat you to it anyway (so I suppose that's a relief for you that you aren't going to be pinched to death by crabs) Belle (talk) 12:59, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

OK, what do you think about this, Crisco? It is a sculpture...
) 08:45, 8 September 2014 (UTC)- Ouch. Marie does some very good work, but she mustn't have brought her tripod or something, because the attempt to erase the noise has left the image very posterized. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:28, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Wow Haffy, that's a lot of art! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:07, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
Well, it looks good, no? And have you tried to click on it on commons? Sombody put a lot of work into this - very nicely made, one can click on the objects and it cames up a new extra pic and it explains what that object is. These are all existing art objects that was once upon a time in this collection... Wish it was big enough... but that is for you to tell. Hafspajen (talk) 16:42, 8 September 2014 (UTC) .
- I missed that. Wow! That's very useful. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:41, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

DYK opinions requested
Crisco, I was hoping I could get your opinion on a couple of nominations:
- Template:Did you know nominations/Trijata: this is the oldest outstanding nomination, and Viriditas thought that the
readability of the section titled "Trijata and Sita", specifically the first half
was enough to hold it back from being passed. Drmies thinks it's okay—he's done a lot of editing on it; I had some trouble wading through that bit, but I'd like your opinion... and if you think it's ready to go, then by all means give it a tick. (Or, if it's not good enough and you don't think it's likely to get there, maybe it ought to be closed.) - Template:Did you know nominations/Development of Deus Ex: this is the second-oldest nomination; Viriditas had trouble with the hook. This needs a second opinion on whether the hook is confusing or not; again, if a tick is appropriate, go ahead, but if you feel the hook does need work (or a complete replacement), by all means say so.
Thanks for anything you can do with these. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:30, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- Done both. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:05, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

- I can get at least a stub up and going, then we can use it. Do you think there's enough for one paragraph on the Dutch Guiana? Add a summary of the New France article, and that's enough for a new article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:58, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- I can email one or two of the world currency experts for more info, but I don't know if a "personal communication" citation will cut it on WP. I have one possible source I haven't checked...--Godot13 (talk) 07:21, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
- No, "personal communication" or "interview" won't cut it. I'll try and help out best I can. Card money is live, but still expanding. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:22, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Yayan Ruhian - actor and martial arts practitioner - notable?
Hello Crisco, I tried to review
- Mad Dog! I knew I recognized that name. I know some websites have made him into a memetic badass (if you watch The Raid you'll know why), but that doesn't necessarily translate to notability. However, there are a couple mainstream refs that can be used: The Jakarta Post article about him working with Hollywood (very short), and Kompas has information about his memetic status, Tempo has some about him going to Hollywood, MetroTV (a TV station in Indonesia) article about him having a film with... vampires and Yakuza?.... (Bloody Disgusting has the same bit, and I think it's an RS for film articles). His filmography could probably be supported by filmindonesia.or.id (run by JB Kristanto, who published a catalogue of Indonesian films until 2007), but for some reason the site's not letting me access it. In short, Arthur, I think that there are enough sources to support an article. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:04, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Lengthy profile here (MetroTV again; Indonesian though). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:06, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, after trying to approve it, I looked deeper and I have had to template it for CSD as a blatant copyvio of the exact same webpage it got deleted for a year ago. Maybe you could create it as a stub after it gets deleted? You've gone to the trouble of finding the required sources :) Arthur goes shopping (talk) 01:25, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Filmography. Yeah, I could easily get a DYK-able article out of the refs here. Later tonight, though. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:27, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yayan Ruhian is up and going. Reasonable enough, ten refs, including two detailed articles on him. Yahoo! News has information about his life before Merantau, but since I'm not sure of the source (Cek Ricek) I've decided against using it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:26, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Thaddeus Stevens
Other than the changes in the infobox, everything else in my 2nd edit came from https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/articleinfo/index.php?article=Thaddeus_Stevens&lang=en&wiki=wikipedia#maintenance, and there was more than just the 2 you mentioned. You could have just changed those two. And do you realize that you also reverted the previous change? That was a correction of the previous one by an IP. Surely you can't think that that was okay. --Musdan77 (talk) 05:16, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Wait, so you made those changes based on what a bot was suggesting? That's not how one writes "brilliant" or "professional" prose. Edit summaries only offer 255 characters (fewer if special characters are used), meaning I could not expand on everything in the edit summary (hence the "etc."). My apologies for reverting your reversion of the IP edits; I have reinserted that. Now, as to the individual points:
- The extra spaces in the infobox do not affect the template at all, nor do they have a visual effect on the article. If we take the other three removals as correct, this would be in
- some of the territories vs. some territories - some of indicates a particular quantity or subset of a greater number of items, whereas "some territories" is less specific
- in order to - as I said before, unnecessary verbosity
- "A scholarly biography" -> "A biography" - The qualifier "scholarly" is important as it gives a quick identification of the degree of investigation needed, as well as the reliableness of said work. A "biography" without a qualifier could just as easily be like those biographies of famous people sold to grade five students: unnuanced, not providing references, and possibly placing POV over accuracy. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:41, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- So, what's the point of having that "bot" if it's almost all wrong (at least according to you)? Of course, I understand that it's not always correct, but... Anyway, thanks for your explanations -- even though I may not agree with all of it. --Musdan77 (talk) 17:14, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Bot, script whatever. I didn't write it, and had consensus been sought I would have argued against creating such a tool. All such a tool does is identify certain strings which are considered problematic by whomever is doing the coding. What it fails to take into consideration are personal style, subtly different meanings (or quite different, depending on the situation; if the string is "some of the" --> "some", then "some of the 99 names of Allah", for instance, would become "some 99 names of Allah": nowhere close to the same meaning) different wordings have, and standard practice at the featured article candidates process (where "in order to" is exterminated with extreme prejudice).

) 09:57, 12 September 2014 (UTC)- It's possible that the sentence there may be considered an oversimplification (not familiar enough with the subject to say if it is or not). If you can give a footnote regarding different views of the matter, that would certainly be enough for me. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:00, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Could do that. Alternately, since the user is making reference to UK heraldry (which is very different from this), I could simply add "A state coat of arms..." to begin the sentence, making it more specific and rendering his comparison moot (and then remove the dubious?)--Godot13 (talk) 10:15, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Two things
- Hey Crisco, wanted to ask you where do I apply for being awarded with the half-million award for bringing Megadeth to FA status? I believe the readership is about 750,000 views a year, which qualifies me for the half million cube.
- Second thing, can you participate in the peer review on ) 07:26, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- You can either award it yourself, or as at Wikipedia talk:Million Award. As for the second... I may take some time, but I'll try and get to it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:29, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

DYK – increase to 3 sets
Hey Crisco! BlueMoonset, Cwmhiraeth and I have commented on WT:DYK how it's probably a good time to increase to 3 sets a day, since the backlog is over 300 noms now (336 to be exact). Could I trouble you to help implement this (provided that consensus has been reached in your opinion)? Cheers! —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:16, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Barlas Page
@Crisco 1492
Recently you protected the Barlas page due to edit warring between user nawabmalhi and lysozym. I thanked you for this and wanted to bring to your attention that I had a long interaction with nawabmalhi and he refuses to accept anything but his own preconceived notion. I brought this to dispute resolution and there was an exchange of over 7500 words in which nawabmalhi presented all his sources, I provided evidence to the contrary, supporting the existing wording of the article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard/Archive_97#Barlas
and at the end of this the conclusion arrived at is pasted below:
Proposed solution[edit] I think the best solution I can prose, with the evidence presented here, is that the existing wording of the article remains. Unless I see any decisive evidence (as opposed toWP:SYNTH and sources failing WP:RS, I will close this shortly. --Mdann52talk to me! 06:03, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
@Mdann52 NawabMalhi says "Overall we are in agreement" at the end of his last comment and so I suggest this matter be closed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jebenoyon(talk • contribs) 01:51, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Then three weeks later nawabmalhi went back and changed the next few sentences, essentially again making the same assertions about the Barlas being "Persianized". All this is on the page history. I then asked for Administrator assistance because he had gone back on what was agreed to and kept on reverting back to his version. This request can be found at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive852 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive852#Persisting_disruptive_editing_despite_dispute_resolution. I'm sorry I don't know how to link it another way. One administrator initially made a comment because I had pasted the whole discussion there and when I clarified matters I never heard back from him. So this request is still sitting there in the archives where I asked for help in stopping nawabmalhi.
The I asked another editor on the page, lysozym, to provide his views and he agreed with my position also. I posted his response on nawabmalhis page thinking maybe nawabmalhi would recognize that both a closing editor and another neutral editor were agreeing with me, and with what is the truth. Then nawabmalhi contacted lysozym and as usual had the last word but lysozym rejected his assertions also. However, as the founder of nawabmalhis controversial religion made a highly contentious claim that he was Barlas and he was "persiniazed" so as I said on day one in my request for mediation, a link to which can be found in the archives I have linked to above, nawabmalhi refuses to believe anything because of his religious sentiments. I am no expert on Wikipedia but I have contributed to this page for long and am a true Barlas myself. This nawabmalhi will not stop until he gets his way and has already tried to get around what he agreed to in mediation. Now he is edit warring with another editor. I would ask if you would be kind enough to look into this and decide because I would trust and respect your finding. or maybe it can be sent to arbitration, as we have already gone through dispute resolution, and getting a third party opinion, and nothing seems to work with nawabmalhi who keeps repeating the same refrain no matter what is said. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Jebenoyon (talk) 04:40, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- You two should attempt to discuss the issue on the talk page, and see if you can reach a consensus there. I am not familiar with the subject matter, and thus would have relatively little to contribute. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:24, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
@Crisco 1492 As we have discussed this matter for over 7500 hundred words in the first dispute resolution that nawabmalhi agreed to, and even more than that since then when a third editor concurred with the wording as is, which represents my position and the conventional position, I do not have high hopes that further discussion with nawabmalhi will solve anything. Subsequently nawabmalhi has also engaged with another editor in the same type of refusal to accept anything other than his position that he did with me. Is there another remedy because he does not listen to another opinion with an open mind? Jebenoyon (talk) 15:32, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- If you have exhausted all other avenues of discussion, you may consider starting an RFC. However, I notice that neither you nor Nawabmalhi have attempted to discuss the issue this time on the talk page. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:34, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
@
1.the source which you gave does mention the Timurids but the mention of a Barlas ancestor does not mean the ancestor gave the clan prominence but instead to soley trace the roots of the timurids.
2. Read the sources I gave you which shows that Even Timur was a ideal Perso-Islamic ruler
3. The timurids specifically along most of the Barlas were definetley persianized I gave you 8 valid sources
4. But I understand your point that maybe some segments may not have personally this is my first time hearing this
5. Till I find a source that specifically mentions Barlas in general I will not write persianized;however I do think it is important to mention that Timurids and Mughals were persianized and will reference this with the sources I gave you
6. And PLEASE understand thatTurko-Persian tradition
7. Again I did not threaten anyone to be honest you threatened report me I told you not to Edit War and asked Mdann52 if their was forum were a more specialized editor(in this area) could look at the issue
Dispute resolution Noticeboard:
1.The reason why Mdann said at first the sources were out of context were because they used Timurids and Mughals(a subset of Barlas) but later I explained to him that Timurids are part of the Barlas and his position changed
2.Then Jeneboyon argued that not all Barlas as a whole were persianized because only the Timurids were not the only Barlas
3. Then Mdann said that might be
My Edit:
1. Here is part of my edit with which Jeneboyon has contention with (different from dispute resolution):
The Barlas clan is now spread out in
Persianate Court Cultures.[5]
2.Now I have not done
3.My references are valid written by credible historians and I provide the page numbers and use Google books links a reliable way to search through millions of books so that people can look at the references.
4. I sticked to my promise to not write Barlas in general are persianized but instead I am very specific and willing to provide even more reliable Sources if needed.
5. Jebenoyon or Any other editor cannot just remove historical facts that are referenced clearly and then blame the other user for disruptive edits
Why is it Important to mention the Timurids and Mughals persianization?
Now the disagreement between me and Lysozym is whether this verifiable material should be on the page or not due to its relevence to the page. I believe it should be because although the Barlas were an ethnically Turco-Mongol trible the two great clans of the Barlas(all references on Barlas article based off Timurids and Mughals) were ethnically Turco-Mongol but were persianized and an important part of the Persian Cultural fabric and were not just culturally Turco-Mongol which would be a generalization and
@Crisco 1492 Thank you for your advice. I hope you can see from the above post by nawabmalhi what I meant. Its like he is so concerned at trying to drown out any opposition and having the last word that he did not see what you wrote about not being the right person to deal with this. He has repeated things, such as cutting and pasting one of his several responses in the dispute resolution dialogue, that have already been refuted and dismissed. A review of the archives would clearly show that while the closing editor did get fed up with the going back and forth between nawabmalhi and myself, and in the end admonished both of us, this did not change the resolution that the wording would not be changed. This was agreed to by nawabmalhi by his own admission. He simply chose to qualify it 3 weeks later by essentially saying, "Well, I actually meant this not that." He is doing the same thing here by now inserting a new version of what happened with the closing editor over a month later. Its this kind of behavior which can be inflammatory, as is trying to change someone's ethnicity for the sake of your own religious beliefs. In any case, you have advised me of my options and we will let matters take their course. I wish you all the best. Jebenoyon (talk) 05:36, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Tennis article discussion
Because you and others were instrumental in forming our current tennis guidelines on seasonal articles for special players, I though you might be interested in the re-visit being discussed at talk:projectTennis. Currently, because of input from that 2011 discussion, any singles player skilled enough to win a grand slam tournament is allowed continuous seasonal articles. No grand slam tournament win, no season article. A grand slam tournament win in 2012 allows seasonal articles in 2013 and 2014 whether or not more grand slam tournaments were won. I was against these articles, but even I have to admit it has worked reasonably well and there really haven't been all that many articles made. A recent deletion of the 2013 Maria Sharapova tennis season has brought this to the forefront once again and we at Tennis Project are trying to decide if we leave things as they are or narrow the parameters in several different ways. We could use more input (whether your views have changed or not). I gave the old discussion link so you can see your original thoughts, but all those who gave their view before are being invited to discuss. Thanks.

DYK question
Hi. Hope you're well. I had a question about a DYK nom. Is it ok for the hook to not include the article name but for it to redirect to it. For example, if the hook is about an actor/actress but their name redirects to their filmography and not to the BLP one named after them. Cowlibob (talk) 22:58, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Card money
You're making me take a good look at several scans I made and wonder if some of these qualify as card money... They are siege notes - one French one German (but in French) both from 1793...-Godot13 (talk) 10:37, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- Similar to these...
- Hmm... I'm not too sure. Siege currency seems to be a different field. I was debating including that billet de confiance as it's not clearly a playing card (None of these are). I've found this one, but it doesn't say "billet de confiance]. Neither does this. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:46, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

- Sorry about that. I was trying to bolster the refs for the Canadian card money, the Louisiana stuff is scarce (but I'll check to see if I didn't forget something). I'm sorting out the info and will try and summarize the issues (four card and two playing card) within the next day.

The Who
Hi. I don't suppose you could have a quick look at The Who and its related peer review Wikipedia:Peer review/The Who/archive2 and make any relevant comments, particularly about the choice and licencing of images? It would be most appreciated. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Crisco, I'm sorry to bother you again so soon. I'm happy with the ALT8 hook that's been proposed here, but don't feel I can approve the nomination without another opinion on the James proposed nickname for Burns in the final Cincinnati section paragraph, which Bagumba strongly objected to. It seems rather out of place to me, and the juxtaposition with the final sentence (Newark Domestics) is jarring. Still, if you think the retrobermanism sentence is fine, I'll go ahead and approve the nom; if not, would you suggest I delete the section myself, or ask the author to?

DYK preps need promoting
Crisco, I have no idea whether you're around or whether someone else will get to it first, but we're two hours late (and counting) to promote a prep to a queue for the main page. Hope someone sees it soon... Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:08, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:58, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. Something odd happened, though: while the bot was in the middle of updating, and had indeed already copied the queue to the main page but hadn't yet cleared the queue, Fram pulled the Mahikeng Airport hook from the queue page. It didn't affect the promotion, however. The issue seems to have been that Hawkeye7 chose the original hook, which hadn't been passed, instead of the ALT1 hook, which had, though EEng subsequently changed the hook in prep (and that's the version that made it to the main page). Thought I should mention it, and the hook is currently being discussed on WT:DYK, though no one seems to realize that it's on the main page now. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

- Indeed they do, and average conditions in the UK are certainly not supportive of fast shots (I doubt even 1/1000 would be enough to get rid of all the blur, even excluding the propeller). But I'd rather see it a little blurry than oversharpened like that. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:57, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

So it's a very large article on a business consultancy, which is not a topic that attracts a lot of interest around here. There's been a good half-dozen editors involved in the page at one point or another, but each tends to maintain interest only for a single section. Sphilbrick just reviewed the Publishing section, but said he was all peetered out on it after that for the time being. I've made some cleanup requests here regarding some poorly-sourced or redundant information. It looks like an intimidating request, but since it's just deleting it's actually fairly easy. I was wondering if you had the time/interest to take a look. All that's left after that is the Notable Works section and we should be able to completely disperse the "Issues" section (formerly Criticisms) and get to a point of polishing and GAN prepping after having been poking at this article for over a year now.

PingHi Crisco. Sorry for bugging you so much. user:Coretheapple re-implemented the Harvard study on the Yelp page and I'm talking with user:My2011 on their Talk page about the McKinsey & Company page. He/she seems to be busy IRL, so that may take a while. What I wanted to bother you about again was the Lead on the Yelp page, which now has wiki-code for bolding and wiki-links. The GA reviewer user:Erachima put the GA review on hold and I think this is the only thing left to address his first wave of feedback. Naturally the Request Edit won't be answered within the same type of timeline of a GA review. It's way beyond what is appropriate for me to edit myself.

Re: September MornOK, the Toledo Blade photo is copyright not renewed. No renewals for back issues at copyright.gov, but the Milwaukee Journal story is from 1971 and not renewed wouldn't apply here. The photo has to be from before his death in 1937, but I see no credit to whoever took it in the news story. So I've started going through hits at Newspapers.com to see if there's another copy of the photo that was printed earlier and would be able to go for copyright not renewed. While looking, I've seen a lot of interesting information about the painter and this painting. He was an invalid for the last few years of his life and died in a room where the only painting on the wall was a reproduction of September Morn he himself had painted. The painting made its way to Russia and was at one time thought to have been destroyed. Chabas asked the press in 1933 to help him find the original painting as it had been lost for some time. During and after WWI, there were scads of good quality copies all over the globe, with many being passed off as originals. Chabas was offered "the original" during a visit to Argentina. It was a good quality copy with a copy of the original letter Chabas had written re: the painting. He also said that the painting which was making the rounds in the US and causing the commotion was not his original work as it had never been to the US at the time. Found an old news story that said a man came home with a copy of the painting; his wife objected to the tune where she called the police and he was run in. :) There's quite a bit of good news material here about many different aspects. We hope (talk) 18:50, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
There were also some actresses getting publicity by claiming to be the September Morn model :) We hope (talk) 01:53, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Am going to investigate the copyright on this, though I believe it's before 1923; she died in 1936. It's interesting because even artists perceived as "respectable" such as Grace Drayton, were cashing in on the wave. Will upload this after I do some checking.

You're killing me ;-) I'll try to put something together tonight, but it's already 2 a.m. so if you don't hear from me, it's because I'm sleeping! One thing I should mention is that McKinsey has a policy of not discussing their client situations. Supporters say it gives them "mystique" while detractors say they are "secretive" - to them it's just an issue of confidentiality much like you'd expect from lawyers or doctors. So it is even more awkward than usual to contribute content on the subject of their clients on their behalf, but that is the nature of the beast. CorporateM (Talk) 06:14, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
We should be able to do away with the "Criticism of management advice" section, its contents being redundant with the new Consulting Projects section and the section title being obviously POV.

I am looking for source (and maybe history) information on Otto I. However, some source information was probably lost - atleast it is missing in the Commons version File:Otto the Great.jpg - the uploader is inactive. The current "source" (NNDB) is only an aggregation website under copyright. If possible, it would be great if you could provide the "original" source information of the old en-Wiki image (or restore the image temporarily?). GermanJoe (talk ) 13:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
