The Good Article Reviewer's Barnstar
Nikki, you quickly became one of the top GA reviewers, and you definitely deserve this barnstar, so here you go! iMatthew 2008 15:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem, and I pretty much figured. I'll do that. iMatthew 2008 17:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I have a question for you, do you think that GaryColemanFan is ready to be an admin...if he wanted to run for RfA? iMatthew 2008 14:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Thats mostly what I was thinking. After he works on that more, he has the potential to be WP:PW's next admin. Remember this? Just because he thought the project needed another admin...wow. iMatthew 2008 18:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:PCE

Hi. I noticed that you left several warnings on PCE's talk page already about his renaming of finishing moves in pro wrestling articles. He's been at it again - I thought I'd bring this one in particular to your attention, though it's not the only one he's hit lately. [1] McJeff (talk) 01:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re-Grade These Articles

Hi, nikki. I made a couple improvements to the following articles and was wondering if you could perhaps re-rate them on the quality scale (if they meet higher standards than they currently are at):

[edit] PCE

Hey there. I saw that you had finals and whatnot, so I understand if you can't get to this right away, if ta all, but PCE is still changing move names, this time for Matt and Jeff Hardy. I don't think another warning is going to deter him, otherwise I'd just give him one.  Hazardous Matt  16:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] National Wrestling Alliance

Hi, on the article National Wrestling Alliance you rv'd my linking the years with the edit summary (partly) being: "(linking stand alone years without an accompanying month and day is not correct)". Could you direct me to the relevant policy please? I was always under the impression we link years, though I may have been mistaken. +Hexagon1 (t) 04:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, fair enough. I was under the impression that years should be linked, my bad! Thanks for pointing it out. +Hexagon1 (t) 23:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ivybridge

You have removed Ivybridge from the Good article nominations as seen here. This is the second time that this has happened and the only reason given is "removing IP nom". It doesn't seem like a very fair system. If you were to look on the talk page of the article you will see that is being developed to Good Article status. P.S I don't know why there is a refimprove banner at the top of the article. Someone added it without saying why and I haven't revieved a reply a reply. 86.29.138.245 (talk) 15:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

At the top of the article, it states that only registered users may nominate an article. If you want to nominate it that badly, just sign up. Also, I agree with the ref tag. Sections with paragraphs with no citations include, Geography, Economy, Demography, and the last paragraph of History. Nikki311 15:58, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Can you nominate it? It seems quicker that way. Thanks for telling me which areas need to be referenced... I've been waiting a long time to hear that. I'd better get to work then! :P 86.29.138.245 (talk) 16:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't nominate articles very often, and when I do, it is an article that I worked on 100%. I wouldn't feel comfortable nominating someone else's work, especially when I don't know anything about the subject matter. Sorry. Nikki311 17:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
No problem, I understand. I'll do some more work to it later such as the referencing and add more history. After that I'll find someone else to nominate it. It takes a fair amount of time for the backlog to get sorted anyway... Just out of interest, are IP addresses allowed to do GA assessment? 86.29.138.245 (talk) 17:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jamel Lewis -- prod or AfD?

Hi, I know very little about professional wrestling. Why are the championship belts that he's won not sufficient proof of notability to pass WP:ATHLETE? I'm just asking to find out if this article should be at AfD instead. Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 15:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Good Articles May Newsletter

The May Newsletter for WikiProject Good Articles has now been published. Dr. Cash (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Useight and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. iMatthew 2008 18:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] B-52's

This article has graduated from Start. It's at least as comprehensive as other B-class Georgia articles such as Danger Mouse and Monica (which is missing a pic). B-class articles are allowed to be somewhat deficient in refs--read the standards for B-class. Every sentence does not have to be noted in order to meet B-class. You are applying A standards one level too early.Rep07 (talk) 21:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Will Wright (game designer) is another example of a B-rated Georgia article which is below your narrow interpretation of the B standard, with explicit tags in the exact areas you are complaining of in B-52's. Take a look. I insist you downgrade this article; it is pure hypocrisy to leave this up while deprecating B-52's. Rep07 (talk) 21:04, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: quality scale being non-customizable--nonsense, many projects have project-specific quality tables, for example see B-grade standards in the following:

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Quality_scale

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment#Quality_scale

It is telling that in most projects there is no response whatever to requests for assessment even followed by a full month of polite patient and respectful delay, but proactively changing an obviously wrong rating triggers an instant pre-emptive reaction--without prior discussion, courtesy, or delay. This clearly shows the presence of a common, and detestable pathological territoriality--passively complacent in a (false) sense of ownership, pre-emptively defensive in a non-collaborative way, yet functionally irresponsible and unresponsive to the demands of the presumed domain. I am perceiving that Wikipedia is probably doomed in the end, because as articles move up in size and quality over time, this pathology will spread like a virus among the many contributors til furious "little bigshots" obstruct and revert even the tiniest change to their "property".Rep07 (talk) 06:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: SummerSlam

Yes. In fact, I was going to give WP:PW a notice later today about nominating it next week. Sure, I'd love to help; that sounds like a great idea. Who else were you considering help from? Also, in case you didn't realize or something, SummerSlam (1993) and SummerSlam (1994) are already GAs. So that means we'd have to get just the '88 article, and the main SummerSlam article elevated. –LAX 20:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm totally down, I can give them pre-GA reviews before they get nominated! King iMatthew 2008 20:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I think a better idea would be for a few users to work on it, and if others ask then work with them as well. I think it would be more organized if it wasn't completely exposed to the project. King iMatthew 2008 22:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Ok, cool. LAX is starting with '06, you have any preference you want to work on? King iMatthew 2008 23:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I was confused there, with the References section, because I was looking at Royal Rumble, and it was just confusing, sorry about that! King iMatthew 2008 23:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't haven't gotten to looking over SummerSlam (1988) yet. I'll make sure to go through it in detail within the next day or two. Glancing over it, though, I see that it avoids the big problem we've had with our FA nominations. Since all of the sources are reliable, it might be a good idea to skip the GA stage and go for FA. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead and nominate it whenever you'd like. I think it's a great article that has potential at becoming an FA. Also, may I get your opinion on something? Based on this and this, are CompleteWWE and WrestleView reliable sources? –LAX 21:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Alright. I'll still nominate it, and if I get questioned about the sources, I will use those links as my defense. With that being said, should I still wait until next Monday to nominate it? Or... –LAX 21:51, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I have begun a pre-FA review for SummerSlam 1988. It looks like a lot of things that I've brought up, but they're all minor details and I've mentioned that a few are just personal preferences. I should be able to go through the "Event" and "Aftermath" sections tomorrow (and I'll get it done by Saturday at the latest). GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA review: Alexander Alekhine

Hi, Nikki, thanks for the comments. Since there's a 1 week deadline, I've posted some responses at Talk:Alexander Alekhine. I agree with most of your comments, but there are a few where I'd like clarification. And the spellings issue is really tricky, so I'd like to know if there's a policy on names for which several transliterations are found in English-language sources. I look forward to your replies at the Talk page. Philcha (talk) 00:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Nikki. I've summarised the outstanding items (Talk:Alexander Alekhine#GA_review) and there's one on which I need your input - how to present in the main text A.'s tournament results 1927-35. Philcha (talk) 11:13, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

More work for you, I'm afraid. I'm dissatified with the current structure of "World Chess Champion, second reign (1937-46)", "Nazi controversy" and "Death" and have proposed a re-vamp as part of my "outstanding items" list at Talk:Alexander Alekhine#GA_review. What do you think? Philcha (talk) 12:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Nikki311, I think all issues have been worked on for Alexander Alekhine, so could you please have your final look and give us your verdict ? SyG (talk) 08:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Nikki311, if SyG's comment means what I think it means, I agree - you've been a great help, many thanks!
Re your post review suggestions:
  • How big a problem do you think the article length (93 KB) is?
    • Alexander Alekhine was the first article in which we tried presenting detailed results as tables, because previously the results made most of the the text an indigestible catalogue of results. I've since tried this approach with Howard Staunton (60 KB), Wilhelm Steinitz (60 KB) and Adolf Anderssen (35 KB), who played chess in the mid to late 19th century, when opportunities for formal competition were much less frequent. AFAIK the tables approach has not yet been tried with another mid to late 20th century player (it's not a fun job, and Quale did well over half the grunt work on Alexander Alekhine). But IMO comparing Howard Staunton, Wilhelm Steinitz and Adolf Anderssen suggests the amount of text is the most significant influence on length: Staunton and Steinitz were controversial and historically important (like Alekhine), so there was a lot of text to write; Anderssen was simply a nice guy who was world #1 for most of 15 years. My own feelings are: a consistent format would be helpful to readers; it might be good to see how tables in the same article work out for 1 or 2 other mid to late 20th century players, to see if they works as part of a near-universal format.
    • Tyrannosaurus and Dinosaur, both former FAs, are 90 KB and 116 KB.
  • That apart, how much work do you think would be needed to get Alexander Alekhine to FA grade? (just a wet finger estimate, no grudges will held if it turns out different!)
If you find time to respond, please do so at Talk:Alexander Alekhine. If not, thanks for the time you've already put in. Philcha (talk) 11:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Why did you go ahead and semi-protect the page? For a start off, that page has very little vandalism compared to other article; 2 bad IP edits in 2 days does not warrant protection in my opinion. If it gets to the point where there's several bits of vandalism from different IP's in one day, then yes, in my opinion it should be semi-protected, but for now I certainly don't think protection is warranted. Please unprotect. Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 19:32, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] How can I tell how many K my article is? (re: Stanley Marcus)

Hello! I am the creator and main editor working on Stanley Marcus and I have a question for you, now that you're reviewing it. I saw that in the fail notice on Gabriel (film) you mentioned that the lead wasn't long enough, and I followed the link to WP:LEAD. It indicates that once an article is 32K in length, the lead should be at least 2 paragraphs long. I'm used to one-paragraph leads and was trying to be concise when I extended it at the suggestion of the lone peer reviewer. How can I tell whether it's 32K, and therefore needs a longer lead? This is the first time I've tried to get an article up to GA on my own, though I contributed to Byron Nelson heavily as various editors were working to get it up to that level. (There's a list on my user page of the articles I've created to date.) I'll also be interested in the feedback to help me decide what to add next of the some 200 pages of material I've got in a Word file, as I find the sheer mass overwhelms my ability to decide where to start adding! At the very least, you can be sure this won't be one of the articles where the editor doesn't read the suggestions and get to work; even since the nomination, I've checked nearly every day and even tried to find an article on the GAN list that I felt able to review in order to help slog through the backlog. Maybe soon I'll find one. Lawikitejana (talk) 23:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

As you saw, I've started on the work. I found my copy of Minding the Store and will see if any of the unsourced points come from it (I already looked in several electronic clippings files). I'm still working on how to expand the lead, writing-wise. I hear you that there needs to be more about his career vs. so much about the awards. Incidentally, can I keep the Advertising HOF quote up there if I add a paragraph later in the article discussing the award? The lead is in the style of leads I've liked in other GAs and in FAs, albeit skimpier — not an attempt to lionize or trumpet him, but a sense of why he's notable. Are there specific biographical articles that you think of as models for the lead? I'll try looking for GAs and FAs that I could compare to. Lawikitejana (talk) 13:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Just to let you know I'm not quite done. It's finals week at the school where I teach, so I've been stretched a little thin. However, I am working on fixing up the lead. I'd still welcome models if you've seen any.Lawikitejana (talk) 23:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I looked at leads of some GA and FA biography articles, and FWIW, found several with quotes in the lead. That doesn't automatically mean my quote should stay, of course, but I thought you'd be interested. (FA examples: Glynn Lunney, Marjory Stoneman Douglas (shorter quote), Harold Innis; GA examples: Mary McLeod Bethune, Charles M. Loring) Thanks for your note about the hold.Lawikitejana (talk) 22:02, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Still don't yet give up ... I turn in my students' grades tomorrow and then will have plenty of time to finish re-editing the lead (!). Lawikitejana (talk) 01:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA Nomination for Nhat Hanh

Thank you for your suggestions to improve the article about Thich Nhat Hanh. Even though I've done a lot of work on the article in the past and keep an eye on it regularly, I didn't make the nomination for GA status because I was aware there were details that need to be cleaned up, but haven't had time to make them. Seems like when a person nominates an article, they should follow through, but that didn't happen in this case. At any rate, I now have a very good to-do list for improvement to the article, and I appreciate you taking the time to read it and make the suggestions. Hopefully, things will settle down soon and I'll be able to make the improvements you've suggested. Thanks again! Nightngle (talk) 13:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ISBNs

In your recent review of the article Nhat Hanh, you listed among items requiring attention: "Some of the books in the Bibliography and further reading don't have isbn numbers. Is this because they don't have them? They also need their authors listed. See Template:cite book."

Per the guideline Wikipedia:CITE#FULL ("a generally accepted standard that editors should follow"):

"All citation techniques require detailed full citations to be provided for each source used. Full citations must contain enough information for other editors to identify the specific published work you used.

Full citations for books typically include: the name of the author, the title of the book or article, the date of publication, and page numbers. The name of the publisher, city of publication, and ISBN are optional, although publisher is generally required for featured articles."

[edit] Re: review

Yes, sorry. :-( I've gotten utterly destroyed in terms of free time both at home and, umm... at work, but I promise I will get to those. Thanks! —Rob (talk) 21:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I am, its just that the user who nominated is on break and told me to hold off in the review, since the user is the one who makes the edits/changes in the article. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Once Again Thank You

I know reading about history can be very boring to many people, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time. Chaldean (talk) 06:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your sandbox

I just saw your comments on the WP:PW talk page about changing the formatting of pro wrestling results to a table and I hope you don't mind, but I edited your sandbox to add an additional kind of box you could consider instead of the one that was being used. Additionally I left a comment at WP:PW's talk page about it. Cheers! — Κaiba 00:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review of Palace of Westminster

Thanks for your review, the comments are definitely useful, especially as we are aiming for FAC at some point but I have to question some of your rationale,based on my understanding of GA criteria:

  • There are entire sections and paragraphs without in-line citations. Please provide them to increase verifiability.
GAC requires citations for quotations, statistics, and controversial material, but doesn't require them for every paragraph?
  • All the pictures are located on the right-hand side of the article. Can't some of them be moved to the left, so it looks more balanced?
I'll certainly take a look at this, but again is it reason to fail GA?
  • There are several one or two sentence paragraphs. Merge these with the surrounding paragraphs or expand them.
This seems fair enough under WP:LAYOUT.
  • The citations in the references need to be formatted with Template:cite web.
Again this doesn't seem to fall under GA criteria - there's no mention of the format required for citations.
  • Format all numbers + words with . Ex: 70 meters
I'm not sure what you mean by this - I know we recently updated measurements to have consistency of units but could you clarify this point please?

In short, I'm a little disappointed - if the bar is higher for GA then I thought, then fair enough, but I did think we were pretty much there. Paulbrock (talk) 13:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Great American Bash (2008)

Hi Nikki. Could you possibly move Great American Bash (2008) to The Great American Bash (2008) as that is the official name of the PPV. The Great American Bash (2008) page will need deleted first as it is a redirect, admins can only do that, hence why I'm asking you. Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 21:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Different category, but can you delete Template:Infobox wrestling draft, remember how you recommended it, but people seemed to disagree with it, and its not in use anywhere so may you delete it?--SRX--LatinoHeat 22:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Done and done. Nikki311 23:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for moving Great American Bash 08. I created it last night and when I was trying to it wouldn't take the name The Great American Bash (2008). I never could get the link to go red so I could make it. It just kept taking me to WWE Great American Bash.--WillC (talk) 23:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Well good thing I didn't try to do it then. I would have never done it. Well thanks, I didn't know who to ask to make it The Great American Bash so I just left until somebody moved it.--WillC (talk) 23:34, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Nikki for deleting it.SRX--LatinoHeat 00:30, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Survivor Series (2008)

Hi! remember me? Yeah I noticed that Survivor Series (2008) wasn't made so I tried to make it because it would need to be made in the future and the date and venue was known so I just went a head and tried. Well there must be a redirect for Survivor Series 2008 and it wouldn't let me make it. So I made WWE Survivor Series (2008). Could you please delete the redirect and move it to Survivor Series (2008) because only admins can do that. Well that is what you told me.----WillC-- 02:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. Nikki311 19:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you!----WillC-- 20:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Micke James

I was wondering why the fact that Mickie and Ken Doane were engaged once upon a time needs 2 different citations?I removed one citation and you put it back.I belive that the fact only needs one citation.What do you think?(MgTurtle (talk) 04:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)).

Okay. That makes sense.I still can't find a reliable source that says they broke up.(MgTurtle (talk) 14:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)).

[edit] Janet Jackson as gay icon

hello, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind reviewing Janet Jackson as gay icon for its GAN. Its a tiny article and I wanted to find an experienced reviewer to look it over. If you decide to do so, thankyou in advance. If not, no problem. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 07:26, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of fact tag

I really don't agree with this edit. You are making a conclusion about something the writers did without having a source about their motivation, etc. That's original research. --Laser brain (talk) 22:51, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. That seems a reasonable compromise. I have to ask - did you do a search of industry magazines through a library? What magazines are there about professional wrestling? --Laser brain (talk) 23:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Current class

It's just that they may never actually be expanded. We can keep a separate list of pages that have been made. We'll have to merge them back into the main article if they don't get expanded. --13 of Diamonds (talk) 02:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Riya Sen

I have disagreed a bit with the issues raised at the review page. Please, take a look, and let me know there. If I am wrong, those issues can be addressed easily. Aditya(talk • contribs) 15:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Taryn Terrell

Hi Nikki, I notice that the Taryn Terrell article is protected. However she has recently debuted in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and will probably get a lot of searches. I would like to make her wiki page or at least start it. Would it be possible if you can unprotect it for now ?
