[edit] Re: Phytopathology Articles

Great, thanks! I'll set those up as subpages soon so we can work on them.

I have an article written on the effects of climate change on plant disease. My dissertation is going to include a chapter on the effects of climate change on potato late blight most likely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Earlycj5 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Phytopathology Articles

I see you're a plant pathology Ph.D. student as well. I've got four more articles that I wrote for Prelminary Exams or Qualifying Exams, whatever you call them on your side of the pond. Would you be interested in helping me get them cleaned up for Wikipedia? I saw what you did with the Epidemiology one. I wasn't sure how to handle the references in the article itself, thanks for fixing those for me. I've articles on climate change effects on plant disease, I just posted plant disease forecasting but didn't clean it up much, remote sensing applications to plant pathology, and GIS applications to plant pathology. Cheers! Earlycj5 (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Artwork for Pontius Pilate's wife, as per GA review

Hello! To answer your questions, the source of the artwork for the Pontius Pilate's wife article under WP:GA consideration is here: [1]. This is a public domain artwork. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 10:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I just found out that Pontius Pilate's wife has been promoted to Good Article status. This is wonderful, thank you! Is there an icon we can display on the page, on our WikiProject Saint page, and on our individual user pages? (Please answer on my talk page.) Ecoleetage (talk) 19:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you, again! Quite frankly, I've had a lousy past week on WP, with abuse coming from a lot of different editors with axes to grind. This news is pure tonic to me. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Replied on the talk page, as I'm probably the best person to deal with the points since I wrote the article. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 15:44, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Of that total, 71 were found to continue to meet the GA criteria, and 11 were delisted. There are currently 15 articles that are still on hold in this process, awaiting revisions. We are once again recruiting new sweeps participants. Candidates should be very strong and comfortable in reviewing GA and familiar with the GA processes and criteria. If you are interested, please contact OhanaUnited for details. GAN Reviewer of the Month Giggy (talk · contribs) (a.k.a.

Thank you to all! New GA Review Process - Review Subpages In case you haven't noticed, we initiated a new process for GA Reviews at the end of last month. The {{GA nominee}} template was modified to direct new reviews initiated on an article to begin on a subpage of article talkspace (e.g. [[Talk:Article/GA#]], where '#' is the current number of GA reviews conducted for the article, incremented automatically, starting with 1). The primary reason for this change is to address some concerns made by several Wikipedians that previous GA reviews are not easily accessible in archives, the way that featured article reviews and peer reviews are, since the review is conducted on the article's talkspace, instead of in a subpage of the featured article space or peer review space. The reason we opted to move GA reviews to article talkspace (instead of GA space) is to better maintain the personal relationship between editor(s) and reviewer(s) by keeping reviews done in an area where editors can easily access it. Nonetheless, we still desired to have better archiving and maintenance of past reviews, so that GA ultimately becomes more accountable. When an article is nominated, the nominator adds the template using a substitution, by adding {{subst:GAN|subtopic=<name of subtopic for article at GAN>}}, as well as lists the article (as usual) at WP:GAN in the appropriate category. When a reviewer initiates a review of an article, all that needs to be done is to read the template on the article's {{GA nominee}} template on its talk page, and click on the link to start the review. When the reviewer clicks on that link, they will also see some instructions on how to start a review of a GAN. For new reviewers, there's also a link to the Good Article criteria, as well as to the Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles page and the mentors list. Once an article is reviewed, the GA review page should be transcluded onto the main article talk page, by adding {{Talk:Article/GA#}} to the bottom of the talk page. This is to ensure maintain the transparency of the GA process, as well as to make editors of the article in question aware that the review is taking place. When an article is either passed or failed, there's really nothing different to do in the process, although reviewers are encouraged to utilize the {{ArticleHistory}} template, linking to the GA review subpage with the 'action#link' parameter. Did You Know... ... that there are slightly more than twice as many Good Articles (4,266) as there are Featured Articles? ... that Giggy has some really neat and useful tools to assist reviewers in conducting their reviews? ... that there are ten experienced reviewers listed on the GA mentors list that can offer assistance or a second opinion in reviewing articles? From the Editors A GA working party has initiated discussion on ways to improve the Good Article project and processes. The goal of the working party is to come up with suggestions for improvement based on recent issues and concerns raised in the past, primarily in the wake of the Great Green Dot Debate of May 2008. The discussion can be found here.
