And real life is very much in the way these days. I probably won't be able to log in as frequently and contribute as much as I would like.

I think it's a great idea but they don't allow more than five proposals at a time on the TFA requests page. Best way to get this date set up is to drop a note at Raul's talk page. Wrad (talk) 17:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, right. Somehow I thought the max was 5 noms for each TFA day, rather than 5 max for that request page. It's such a strange rule. Anyway, thanks for letting me know, Wrad. I'll drop Raul a note on his talkpage later on. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 02:13, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"restore 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay for MainPage balance. Incoming TFA is quite long." Or you could have promoted the items for Lorenz and Wheeler that have strong consensus for promotion. ;) Madcoverboy (talk) 02:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you MAD, Coverboy? The ITN death criteria are sacrosanct !!!!! I dare not violate them....  :-)

Seriously, I indeed have looked at the two candidate pages. The relevant new material related to Wheeler's death was a single sentence in his wikibio:

On 2008 April 13, John Wheeler died of pneumonia at the age of 96 in Hightstown, New Jersey.

And ditto for Lorenz's wikibio regarding his death:

On April 16th, 2008, Lorenz died at his home in Cambridge at the age of 90, having suffered from cancer.

No background info about events leading up to the death. No info about the aftermaths or implications. (Typical about natural deaths of old, not so active people.) With so little relevant updating, I can't support their inclusion on ITN, a place on MainPage to showcase well updated articles (not to report news). So, I'll pass. Sorry.

BTW, I don't think there is strong consensus at ITN/C to have the two obituaries on ITN. Support appears fairly conditional with "iff". Instead, we may be closer to having consensus for a revolution at ITN. I'd rather have "Biography of the Day" on MainPage, and have obituaries posted there -- outside ITN! -- at midnight UTC the day after they died. But that's just me... Take care. --PFHLai (talk) 00:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit, are you certain that removing it improves main page balance, even after the latest DYK update which is slightly longer than the one preceding it? It doesn't seem that way to me, having checked on both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Perhaps it has to do with our font size difference? --BorgQueen (talk) 00:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On my screen, yes, font size at Larger, Medium & Smaller, IE. I actually removed that line from ITN in anticipation of the DYK update (you almost gave me an edit conflict) If it's really ugly on your screen, please feel free to revert on ITN. I'm signing out soon, so I won't see things stickying out on the rightside on MainPage after your reverting. --PFHLai (talk) 00:44, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. That's fine, it is not an exact science anyway, and someone else will fix it if something is wrong. (Not that I imply it must be.) Thanks for your work. --BorgQueen (talk) 00:48, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. And thank you for your work, too. :-)

I don't have FireFox, so I didn't check that. Please feel free to fix things as you see fit, Your Majesty. (i can be 'assimilated' quite easily... :-) -PFHLai (talk) 00:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If I may interject, I added a seventh one because there was a gob of space underneath the DYK section, and was still quite a bit after I added it and previewed it. I use Firefox and have a 19"widescreen, if that tells you anything.--Bedford 00:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, Bedford. We are all trying to make MainPage look pretty on our screen, polishing it from different angles.  :-) --PFHLai (talk) 00:57, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Bedford, do you mean a 7th on Next ? I didn't see the blank space with the MainPage preview that included your 7th. Things are balanced on my screen, but I can't see what you have on Firefox. Please adjust as you see fit on your screen. --PFHLai (talk) 01:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I previewed it before it went up, saw a lot of extra space, so I added a seventh entry. Now on my screen, there's a centimeter height difference between the end of the DYKs and the lower "More events:" on the On the Day section.--Bedford 01:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On my screen now, I have "Archive – Start a new article..." at the bottom of DYK a little below "More events: May 3 – May 4 – May 5" but a little higher than "Archive – By email – More anniversaries..." at the bottom of SA/OTD. As the BorgQueen said, "it is not an exact science ..." I'll let things sit and not touch them for now. --PFHLai (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Amba Aradam... for DYK

Thank you very much. I fully acknowledge my lack of reference diversity. I am currently working on "fleshing out" the references on Battle of Amba Aradam, First Battle of Tembien, Battle of Shire, Battle of the Ogaden, etc. I really want to add some text to the Second Battle of Tembien first. I think Ras Nasibu needs a write-up as well. And where is the text of the 1928 peace agreement mentioned on the main page? Minor "fixes" to these Wikipedia articles always seem to end up being far deeper than I anticipate. Best Wishes! Mkpumphrey (talk) 12:16, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, Mkpumphrey. Yes, there are lots of things to write about. Glad that someone is filling in the gaps in Wikipedia's coverage. I hope you're enjoying the typing. Minor "fixes" take time, so just do what you can at the moment. You can always come back and type in more. I don't know what 1928 agreement you're referring to, but I'll let you decide what to write and when. Just wanna remind you that new articles are usually featured as DYKs within 5 days of each article's creation date. Usually there's a grace period of an extra day or two, but the admins running DYK don't always wait too long. If you want your nice new articles featured on MainPage as DYKs, please pace yourself accordingly. Happy editing! --PFHLai (talk) 14:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ryongyon

for DYK

Sometimes, the context that helps make sense of other sources can only be found in Korean-language sources. In this case, Ryongyon was only created after the Korean War, so although there are English-language sources about parts of the history, they don't mention it by name. I've added an inline citation to a Korean-language encyclopedia article (previously given only as a general reference). Any other requests or suggestions are very welcome. It gives me a good feeling to know that someone was reading "my" article carefully enough to notice an inference needing better referencing! --Amble (talk) 17:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick response, Amble. I've nominated this article of yours for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Wikipedia:Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know#Articles created/expanded on July 10, where you can improve it if you see fit. (Feel free to propose new hooks there.) I hope your Korean ref also supports the founding year as 1884. If it does, please move the footnote a little bit to the right. Thanks.

The bot works by querying the MediaWiki api for the oldest articles in that category. So the idea of the bot is not to repeatedly update the list, but to keep the oldest tasks on that list until they are fixed.

Hi,

I noticed you placed a DYK notice on nishkid's talk page for expanding

Hello, Thomas.macmillan. You did not receive DYK notice because your name was not on the list of recipients on DYKNU. Upon further review, your name was not even mentioned in the original nomination by Nishkid. I think you were left out because your initiating the article in mid July, though a siginificant contribution, was "more than 5 days ago" and too long ago to qualify for DYK credits. {{UpdatedDYK}} is usually not given out for article creation so long ago. I hope this clarifies things a bit. If you disagree and still want a {{UpdatedDYK}} posted on your usertalkpage, you may want to start a discussion at Wikipedia talk: Did you know. --PFHLai (talk) 14:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm concerned about the tweaks to the Barcol hardness test DYK hook here. The army did not develop the test, only requested it, it was developed by an individual company to meet the need, or that's how I read it. I'd just hate to get yelled at for the hook not being properly supported by the source or some such nonsense, other than that it wouldn't bother me. Happy editing. Stardust8212 03:57, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing out the problem, Stardust8212. I was trying to keep the hook short. Is it better now? Please feel free to tweak it further as you see fit. --PFHLai (talk) 04:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was impressed by your timely arrival, and then I felt I had been caught! Oh the excitement of finding that I did indeed have 10 DYKs missing..... but ... I managed to find them. The missing 10 are now in the archive. I'm impressed you checked. Oh and I have an idea for two extra DYK awards. One is the GROSS award that you get for 144 DYKS and the TOO GROSS award that you get for 288 plus. Obviously the latter would be for addicts such as yourself. What do you think? Any idea who could supply some "gross" artwork? Victuallers (talk) 15:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gross? I am not familiar with Gross (unit). I'm more familiar with the use of this word as an adjective, and I doubt anyone would want to supply "gross" materials and call that "artwork" :-) ... Have you looked at your DYK archive between "DYK70 carry 30" and "dyk80 carry 33 21 (derby)"? Anything missing? --PFHLai (talk) 06:58, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thx

Thanks for your best wishes. I did sort out one missing "ten DYKs" but hadn't sorted out the other you mentioned when Bedford just gave me it (he was very close himself). I did appreciate that you had kept your eves open and were waiting to send me congrats. Its appreciated. Oh and thanks for the "heads up" on gross. I have two meanings 144 and "disgusting" ... but the latter has a very teenage tinge to it. As you've pointed out these meanings are not international so a "pun" would only work for some and may offend many. Thats the problem with having foreigners involved (That last bit is a (n attempt at a) joke). Cheers Victuallers (talk) 09:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you're welcome. The Holyhead HS nom was indeed your 200th (unless you have more stray DYK banners still missing....)

great gross will always be 1728. I hope to reach that number of noms by the next Olympics.... :-) --PFHLai (talk) 13:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

Hi colleague. I've been campaigning for what I call "shorter, sharper hooks" for 2 years and will probably continue to do so. I respect your work on DYK and respectfully understand that other editors will have opinions differing from mine. Please don't take it personally when I identify how I would change hooks you suggest. I'm not implying you do take it personally...I'm only saying this to promote wikilove and all the stuff! We can disagree about this forever and I'll still be happy to work with you. Best wishes and happy editing. - Boston (talk) 23:49, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• PS - I'm a great admirer of your "
  unwritten rules" and a few weeks ago was actually wondering why you didn't say anything about brevity of hooks along the lines of "shorter is generally better." Now I know why! (smile) - Boston (talk) 00:25, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply
  ]

Hello, Boston. Thank you for the msg. I hope you didn't think that I was upset or anything. I like your work, too. Like you, I prefer shorter, sharper hooks. However, IMO, "sharper" is more important than "shorter". Shorter is indeed generally better, but it's good to have a little extra info so that any general readers (esp. those not familiar with the topic) can appreciate the hook better, and add a little colour and hue so as to paint a nicer picture, so to speak. Hooks that are too short and lack context would appear to be esoteric, and readers would (or at least I would) just give up and move on to the next hook. You will probably disagree about this and I'll still be happy to work with you in DYK, too. It's probably best for us to just leave our comments on

T:TDYK and let the hook selectors decide what ends up on MainPage. Oh, btw, User:Art LaPella is not my sock. :-) Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 01:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

]

• I didn't think you were a sock...that was just a mindless error on my part because I was watching
  Lord of the Rings and trying to articulate at the same time! Nor did I think you were upset; I just thought some preventative medicine wouldn't hurt. As for the actual matter under discussion, I guess we both value brevity, only to much different degrees. The cases where I've suggested a cutting a hook way back and someone adds some of it back is exemplary of collaborative editing at its best. Thanks for the note and best wishes. - Boston (talk) 02:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply

Just make sure the corresponding footnotes are present in the Smoking in Japan article. I've added some {cn} tags and some footnotes with refs in the article. Hope this helps. Please add more footnotes to the article (and replace those {cn} tags) if you can. Thanks. Happy editing. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese people in Madagascar for DYK

Thanks for the DYK nomination --- I modified the hook a bit and rewrote the paragraph in question because after I reread the source, I think it meant the present day and not 1896 --- that also agrees with the numbers I got from other sources.

TFA Director

Hi Lai,

In response to my suggestion of an image for yesterday's featured article, you mentioned the "TFA Director". I was just wondering: who is the TFA Director? and are there other types of "directors" on Wikipedia?

Happy editing,

Neelix (talk) 12:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Neelix. I don't know of other "Directors", but I suspect various wikiprojects would have different people in charge with different titles. For TFA on MainPage, the big boss is User:Raul654. Hope this helps. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 23:59, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
