Template:DNB and others.

I was going to drop you a line about the difference between {{cite DNB}} and {{DNB}}, because of your edits the new article you created Samuel Sidley however I see that you created that article on 18 September 2022 and three days later you created Edward Gibson (painter)‎ on 21 September 2022‎ and by then you had worked it out yourself.

There are many of these types of template triplicates see User:PBS/Notes#List of PD Templates for a list of some of them. Given you area of interest shown by those two articles. You might find {{Bryan (3rd edition)}} and {{Bryan (1903 edition)}} of some use. If you have need of {{cite Bryan (3rd edition)}} let me know and I will create it.

Two other points:

  • Please see Where to place attribution in the Plagiarism guideline.
  • If you find a book that you would like to include in an article but it is not cited please place it in a "Further reading" or "External links" section below the section containing the bullet pointed list of full references. This makes it easier to keep track of what is used to support the text in the article and what is not.

Other than that I think the two articles I have had a look at are a useful contribution to Wikipedia. I am not as active as I one was but if I can help in you in any way please let me know on my talk page.

-- PBS (talk) 17:58, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes there is one other point I wanted to mention. There is a project group for the Wikisource DNB to Wikipedia articles Wikipedia:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography and coupled to that is the Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/DNB Epitome if you create articles such as you did please update the list and double tick their entries in that list. Often the entry in the DNB Epitome (see the footnotes on the pages next to the subject's name) makes a good basis for the lead in the Wikipedia article, or for creating a stub of an article. -- PBS (talk) 18:05, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the article William Wilkins (educator) you had an entry in the sources section:

There is a template {{cite ODNB}} for such entries:

*{{cite ODNB|last= Laughton |first=J. K. |last2=Lambert |first2=Andrew |date=2004 |title=Williams, Robert (1765–1827)  |id=29539}}
  • Laughton, J. K.; Lambert, Andrew (2004). "Williams, Robert (1765–1827)". required.)

There is a template {{Cite RNB1823}}

*{{Cite RNB1823 |wstitle=Williams, Robert |volume=1 |part=2 |pages=856-861}}

-- PBS (talk) 18:52, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The "Bryan (3rd edition)" template might be useful at Benjamin Richard Green, but without the "This article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain..." bit at the start: is there a way to do that? 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 14:09, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for creating this article. When we translate or borrow from other language wikis it’s a requirement to acknowledge the source. The best way to do this is to include it in your edit summary (e.g. “translated from fr.wiki”) and there’s also a translation template you can add to the talk page. If you can confirm where material for this article was sourced I’ll add the template to the talk page for you. Happy editing and please leave a message on my talk page if you need any help Mccapra (talk) 20:50, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't actually translate that article from the German article. I wrote it based on the English-language Benezit. I did include the German-language sources from the German wiki article as "further reading", so I guess I did copy that. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 20:54, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ways to improve Francis Washburn

Hello, Ficaia,

Thank you for creating Francis Washburn.

page curation process
and note that:

Thanks for the article, but it really needs some work - there are sources on the page, but they are not used to link to any facts in the article! The only reference is, confusingly for readers, to 'Heitman' - where the fact - and many more given in the article - could easily be sourced to a reference in one of the works you have listed under 'sources' using the 'Cite' tool. Facts should be linked to a citation...

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Alexandermcnabb}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the

@Dumelow: Thanks for taking the time to really flesh out the article :) BTW, one sentence you added to the article seems to cut of mid sentence: "On one occasion Wynne, found that marker posts, used by the garrison to determine rifle ranges in case of attack and to delineate the route of a new approach road, were being moved at night by the."

Naval officers

Hi, I see you've been creating some naval officer articles; thanks! I note however that long-standing precedent on Wikipedia for Royal Navy officers is for the disambiguation to be "(Royal Navy officer)" or "(Royal Navy officer, died 2000)", etc. It's been argued over the years but for now that's still the trend. Cheers, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 15:20, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll rename the articles. I think for concision "naval officer" might be a better disambiguation, unless there are two notable naval officers of the same name from different navies. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 10:40, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for creating Portrait of Doge Andrea Gritti.

and note that:

Thank you for creating this page on a notable painting by Titian! I would recommend adding more sources, including: Cole, Bruce. Titian And Venetian Painting, 1450-1590. N.p.: Taylor & Francis, 2018 (it discusses Michelangelo's Moses statue as a possible inspiration, which is important to mention); Vinet, Angelle M. James McNeill Whistler an Evolution of Painting from the Old Masters: Identified By Two Missing Masterpieces. N.p.: Lulu Publishing Services, 2017 (the work's influence on some of Whistler's portraits); additional potentially helpful resources are also available on the Met Museum's website in reference to the version made by his workshop, which is in the museum's permanent collection (and which you included in the article) https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437830. I hope this helps. Please feel free to remove the tags as soon as more sources are added and let me know if you have any questions. Ppt91talk 20:08, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

An honest question

Hi Ficaia

Regarding Stonewall Jackson, is the dispute Virginia? Trust me, if I saw a notation there I wouldn't have added it. I've added U.S to over a thousand people and never even thought about a dispute that with the naked eye .. there is no info regarding it in the infobox. Honestly I'm intrigued.

Thank you for that, it's good reading. But I'm glad that some wikipages have it left blank (no city or state). That leaves people like me away from touching it, lol. When I saw U.S. for birth and resting place ... well you know.

At least we met. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your week.

On 10 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Rape of the Sabine Women (Poussin), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Poussin painted the abduction of the Sabine women twice (one pictured), once for a prince and once for a cardinal? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Rape of the Sabine Women (Poussin). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Rape of the Sabine Women (Poussin)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Ficaia,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
