Nominated USS Triton for February 16th FA

I nominated the article on the USS Triton for the Feature Article of February 16th:

Feature Article nomination - February 16th

I think that I did the nomination correctly, but you may to review and comment.Marcd30319 (talk) 00:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, the article is not a
WP:MILHIST first, or else your first trip to FAC would be too overwhelming. -MBK004 03:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply

I already replied on my talk, but just to comment on MBK's post, I agree with him. FACs are—quite frankly—scary, because they like to pick at every bit of what you have written. What you have to do is address their comments without getting angry, because the reviewers are right most of the time and so the recommendations help the article. What an A-class nomination will do is spread out the amount of picking, so you'll receive 30-40% in the A-class nom and the remainder in a FAC. Cheers friend, —

Triton source review

Hi Marc, I responded to you on my talk. A quick sources review for you to chew on before someone else remarks on it:

  1. Current refs 22/45/68 ("Ship's History", http://garrygray.tripod.com/ships_history.htm ), is not reliable per
    WP:SPS
  2. Current ref 67 (navsource) is iffy, not sure here
  3. Current ref 153 isn't reliable,
    WP:SPS
  4. Current red 177 should use {{cite DANFS}}
  5. Current ref 185 (""Psychological Officers" - Submarine - Part 2", http://aquilinefocus.blogspot.com/2008/12/psychological-officers-submarine-part-2.html ) is a blog, see
    WP:SPS
  6. Current ref 193 (Dibner, Bern) needs a title for the book and a page number
  7. Current ref 195 ("U.S. Military Medals") is now an ad site... or something.
  8. Current ref 196 ("Presidential Unit Citation", http://garrygray.tripod.com/presidential_unit_citation.htm ) isn't reliable, SPS
  9. Is current ref 198 (http://www.philsp.com/data/images/a/argosy_196008.jpg ) linking to an a web page "carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright"? ([[WP:LINKVIO]})
  10. Something's wrong with current ref 200...
  11. Current ref 214 ("Naval Unit Citation (1967)", http://garrygray.tripod.com/navy_unit_commendation2.htm ) is SPS
  12. Same with ref 221 http://garrygray.tripod.com/atws/atws_plaque.htm
  13. I need to go back to to my paper, so I went through these really fast (and didn't look at the last six or so). I probably missed a few, but at least this gives you a headstart on the A-class nom. Regards friend, —

USS Triton A-class review

"Who care about something like a 50th anniversary around here?"

That's not fair, we do care. We care a lot. And judging by your 1,000+ edits to the article you care too. The problem here is that you were apparently unfamiliar with the processes by which we select our featured article for the day, and now I sense that because this article will not pass an FAC in time you are throwing in the towel. That is a really bad idea.

The editor you've singled out for fixing problems behind you back was editing in good faith, and the edits made were to help the article pass an A-class review. And my suggestions are also to help the article gain a FA-star. Even if the article does not making onto the main page as the TFA, there exists the possibility it will be mentioned in selected anniversaries on the mainpage, and we could always do with another FA-class article. At the moment, you are the person best suited to bring the article up to FA-status, having worked for so long on the article. I therefore urge you to reconsider your position on the article's A-class candidacy. TomStar81 (Talk) 21:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please do not revert the article back to a pure copy-paste DANFS type article. It displays an extreme form of
ownership which is not allowed per policy. -MBK004 00:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply

I'm not sure your comment on my talk page was exactly friendly, either. I admit, that string of edits could've been better done in one pass; I was tired. Nevertheless, it was intended as improvement. The rv appears to be pique, & it's not good form. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 08:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:NATO Allied Command Atlantic - July 1954.svg

Dab links, redirects, and alt text

You've done an outstanding job of working to address these issues during the review, I was fearful there for a while that the article would not achieve such a high note of assessment.

Despite this though, your comments concerning the dab links and alt text are incorrect; a check in the toolbox show that there are still some dab links in the article, that some images still need alt text, and that some of the external links still need help. To determine which links and images need help, you can use the toolbox located on the review page to find the problematic links. A short guide to the toolbox and how to use it can be found here, if you still have questions or can not get the pages you need leave a message for me and or The ed17 and we will be happy to provide you with the links in question.

Again, outstanding work. You've got two high quality articles in the works now, and a little more work will help ensure they get through this process and receive the A-class status you seek. TomStar81 (Talk) 08:34, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:PLAN World Circumnavigation - 001fd04c63060c1d273905.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to

fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale
.

You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

USS Triton FAC

Sadly, this is one area where I can not be much help. FACs are out of my hands to affect since they are process run by Wikipedia and not milhist. The best I can do is suggest that you read

this and this, then speak with Raul654 (talk · contribs) and explain the situation to him. Raul is a fair man, and has granted some leniency toward our editors concerning special date and main page appearances, so he may be willing to bend a little under the circumstances if you explain the situation to him personally. Other than that, though, there is nothing I can do beyond supporting the article as I already have. Editors for both milhist and ships have been informed of the FAC, its now in the communities hands as to whether or not to swing by and support. Until such time as a few days go by without commenters at the FAC I can not raise the matter in good faith, so at this point the article is going to have sail under her own power so to speak.

Terminology nit-pick

Hi Marc, I'm sorry to butt in, but you have consistently been stating that

A-Class is an A-list review, when in fact it is an A-class review. The use of list can confuse some people who are not that familiar with the process. Thanks, -MBK004 01:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply

Re:1966 Soviet submarine global circumnavigation

It is a B-class article, it meets all B-class criteria. You can change the article to B-class status by filling out each of the five fields in the milhist template on the talk page with thier corresponding number to equal yes (ie "B1=yes, B2=yes", etc), or you can leave the article at the request for assessment page and someone within the project will independently verify the article's B-class status and change it from there.

To be honest, I'm not real good with DYK material; I would suggest asking The ed17 (talk · contribs) for help, he is usually good with DYK-related material and ought to be able to bring this matter to a successful resolution. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
