Your GA nomination of Hayden Epstein
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article
This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Johanna -- Johanna (talkEmRata image
You asked about more free images, such as from a video, and I wrote I couldn't find any besides those two. Well, I think now I have found a freely licensed video that we could theoretically get a screenshot or two from. https://vimeo.com/60986874 It's the video of her GQ Turkey photoshoot. It's marked Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 under the "more" link under the video. I believe the license because the uploader is apparently Eric Longden, professional filmmaker, who videod the thing for GQ, it's convincing because he has over a hundred similar professional Vimeo videos, a website linking to the Vimeo account, GQ on his resume, etc. (This is in contrast to the other so licensed Ratajkowski video on Vimeo, which was uploaded by someone without any explanation as to why he can so license it; I don't believe that license, and don't recommend any screenshots from there.) If you want, you can indicate the times where you think the most suitable frames are, as you did for that YouTube video, and I can grab the screenshots, or you can do it yourself. Preferably the ones with ... more clothes, shall we say? Maybe one where she is standing next to Tony Kelly, if you think he's important to her career, then a picture of them both together might be nice. Your call.
On a completely unrelated note, I made the terrible mistake (terrible for the sake of my ego, that is) of coming to your user pages, and then looking up your name in the real world. I am now officially intimidated. You have written 30 featured articles, and you're a photographer, and a project director, and can apparently bench-press a Buick? Where in God's name do you find the time?!? Please let me know when you either win the Nobel Prize or run for the Presidency, so I can say "I once worked on an article review with him"... --GRuban (talk) 14:21, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Kind words are appreciated.--WP:WAWARD) 16:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- OK, you wrote you only edit Tuesday through Thursday and Thursday has passed, so you're not going to respond, so I did it myself. Here are 3 images I got from there, that show her actually doing her job, which I think is valuable. I put the first two in the article. Feel free to rearrange, change captions, choose different ones, etc., with due consideration. --GRuban (talk) 16:05, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

- I did see them as being more representative of her work in general, not of her GQ Turkiye photo shoot specifically. I'm sure she has her hair done for all professional shoots, and I can imagine she looks over the photos on most. Neither of those two photos was particularly distinctive as being from her Turkiye shoot so to speak. So I don't think putting them together in a box labeled 2013 GQ Turkiye photo shoot is the best, that's why I sprinkled them throughout the career section, as to say "this is what she does in her career". The third one is fairly identifiable as a scene from that shoot, but you didn't use that one.
- I am going to put in a 13 hour day today after my lunch settles and I get a few quick household chores done. Can we revisit this once you get us some other caps of the typical Emrata stuff. I think the eye liner, and lip liner vid caps may be even better. I think in a few years as we get more photos, images are going to be stuck in chronologically along with the prose. That is generally how it works.--WP:WAWARD) 16:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

- I will, however, object to the grammar of the bottom caption: "(top) Tony Kelly and Ratajkowski examine photographs and (bottom) Ratajkowski's during hair styling" should be something like: "(top) Tony Kelly and Ratajkowski examine photographs (bottom) Ratajkowski's hair being styled" as it's not clear what the "'s" refers to otherwise, and I don't think the "and" is needed.

- Finally, if you must stick them together, I recommend putting the hair styling one on top, as I'm pretty sure she got her hair styled before the photos were made, not after. But that's another image placement thing that I will grit my teeth and bear if I must. --GRuban (talk) 20:16, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

- On a separate matter - you, unlike me, are a real photographer! May I ask photo advice? Your opinion - should the first image, the hair styling one, be cropped tighter horizontally to remove the people in the background to one side and the bright light to the other? I tried it and thought it looked better as is, but will value your view. Also, anything you can recommend to get rid of the bright light in the middle of the second image? I tried smearing it, but wasn't able to do a good job, so left it; anything you can do? --GRuban (talk) 20:22, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

- GRuban I have gotten out of the habit of rapid talk page response. The small numbers at the top don't catch my eye like the long bar across the top use to. Many elements of that video would be helpful to illustrating WP. The most important is for the photographer himself. Here are my thoughts on elements of the video that could be useful.
- It seems you don't actually respond to messages on your user talk page; but do edit on this Friday at least. I'll stick by what I wrote, which is that I will let you put the images as you see fit, but:
- 08 eye liner
- 22 Tony Kelly
- 32 Digital photography
- 33 or 36 Hair roller
- 49-51 cake ?
- 58 camera phone
- 1:09 lip liner
- 1:44 boot, kinky boots or Thigh-high boots
This is not a response to all of the questions above. I am headed to the gym in 10 minutes.--

in an hour or two- maybe there's something I don't understand - but it seems unlikely at first blush that you can use these. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:58, 12 April 2016 (UTC)- So it looks like it's a still from a video on vimeo.

- Thanks, @GRuban:. I found the more button (and read the thread above you're talking about, which helped explain). I'm pretty surprised QC Turkey is OK with this (and kind of wonder if they actually are), but far be it from me to argue. I'm OK with the licensing issue now.

- I reverted the addition of these images across many articles as a blatant example of spamming. The same named model doing various vacuus things to try and make it seem relevant. At the same time trying to get the artcle about the model as a featured article. This smacks of paid and highly promotional editing. If it continues I will file a report for investigation.

TTT: I have accepted this article posted at the Guild of Copy Editors page for copy edit. Once you have submitted a request, it is usual not to continue to edit/change the article until it has been copy edited - i.e. "Articles that are undergoing rapid development". If you believe that the article needs additional work you should withdraw your request and re-submit it when you are satisfied that Emily Ratajkowski is completed. I will put a note on the GOCE page noting my message to you and await your response. Regards. Twofingered Typist (talk) 17:47, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Sorcha Faal
Hi TonyTheTiger Here is the information they wanted deleted from the Sorcha Faal article as dichotomies such as this are never allowed to survive. Maybe you can put it back in, but if you do, watch how fast it will disappear:
In 2016, Russian newspaper Trud claimed that Faal was affiliated with foreign intelligence services:
Experts noted that the Sorcha Faal's website is a "flush tank", through which one of the groups of American military and political elite merges information uncomfortable for their opponents. "Of course, for the project are special services, but who exactly—to understand yet difficult: British MI6, Mossad, CIA, DIA (Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense) and the American National Security Agency, for example," said professor of the Diplomatic Academy of Russia Igor Panarin. "Of course, it is an element of information warfare, but within the American elite".[1]
In 2016, Russian channel REN TV alleged, without offering proof, that Sorcha Faal was a portal for unnamed intelligence services.[2]
Concerns that Faal was in some way affiliated with the U.S. government were first raised in 2009 by the conservative political advocacy organization
In 2016, a Faal report alleging that two U.S. military helicopters were shot down by Turkey over Syria was widely reported by mainstream Russia media sources including Свободная пресса—Википедия[5] and Trud[6] with the Sputnik news agency (in their German language edition) reporting that the United States Department of Defense denied this happened with Pentagon spokeswoman Michelle Baldanza stating "This is an absolute lie"[7] and Trud still commenting on it a subsequent article about Turkey.[8]

Work trade?
Hi, we've worked together before, years ago, and thought maybe we could again. I have a couple articles I need independently reviewed and if you find they meet community standards, moved to mainspace. They are:
- User:I'm Tony Ahn/John_Lemp
- User:I'm Tony Ahn/Martin_Shirran
- User:I'm Tony Ahn/The International School of Hospitality
In return for your independent review, I'd be happy to undertake reviews for you, whether they be new article reviews, GA reviews, or whatever you need manpower for. If you find any of them don't meet community standards, some feedback on what is required would be appreciated. Thanks for your consideration. I'm Tony Ahn (talk) 00:30, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
DYK for Gateway Tower (Chicago)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gateway Tower (Chicago). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Gateway Tower (Chicago)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.
