DYK for Colan Church

The DYK project (nominate) 16:03, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

I have completed my inputs to these four.Fish River (Alaska), Tubutulik River, Koyuk River, and Kiwalik River. I suppose that they are now DYK worthy with a little c/e by you. I could not find more on this Candle Creek. You may like to nominate it. --Nvvchar. 16:49, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Clive Mantle is a red link feast Rosie, some notable plays, directors, TV series and a few Wiltshire houses missing. I'd forgotten he existed, haven't seen him since Casualty in the 90s but he was in the news on the weekend over having his ear bitten off. His article was in a basic "minor actor" state with nasty tags so I wanted to see if I could expand it properly as a challenge. Brian Blessed is another I might do soon too of British actors who really should have a quality article. I reckon with a bit of work I can get it to GA status, although Marrakesh, Fatimid architecture and Paco are all in line waiting. I was wondering if you could view the plays in his 2000s section and try to google them and work out what year it was and intergrate them gradually into the article, that's what I've been doing so far. I know you don't like adding to anything other than a stub, but continuing the detective work on finding the year of the play and dispersing into the article, and possibly finding theatre reviews etc would be good and filling in some red links if you feel like it. Can't believe Bloomin' Marvellous is missing! A cool DYK might be DYK ..."that Clive Mantle beat up Clint Eastwood?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 23:03, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

See Aymatth's talk page for the outstanding productions which still need years. Mostly I need your help to gobble up all of the red links.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 16:20, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

You and Dr B may like to add to this Badoli Temples. I have added more text to Aldabra. Some more needs to be added.--Nvvchar. 18:05, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

I've linked the new Wiltshire stubs needing expansion on Nvv's page. Comedy shows not to either of your tastes? Mantle still has three links left in the 2000s, two on playwrights or directors I think.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 21:20, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Alaska Rivers and Creek + another issue

Thanks, I will look into that. Prior to today, the only changes I made during the past month was my adding the cat "Business Documents" to Bill of lading. I would like to "jump in"!

Today I restored the article, Michaela Quinn. Although this goes back a while, I can't see where the redirect was ever discussed. Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman ran for six years on CBS and Jane Seymour's portral of the titular character was iconic and recognized in the tv genre of the time, from 1993 to 1998. I added the expansion template, and heck I wouldn't even be opposed to the article being renamed "List of characters from Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman" and expanded even more. But with so many articles about so many characters from Lost (TV series), (for example) which ran one year less than Dr. Quinn, surely we can have a page about "Dr. Mike" :) AlaskaMike (talk) 21:13, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Woman photographers once more

Thanks very much for the award. Great picture! I'll still be working on the list for a few more days as there are in fact a considerable number of existing articles about women photographers (particularly Americans) which are not yet included and I would also like to start a top-down article on the topic. If you (or anyone else reading your page) are interested in covering some of the more interesting newcomers to the scene, I can give you a few names: Catherine Hall, Sue Bryce, Lara Jade, Cara Weston, Athena Carey, Elizabeth Carmel, Sandra Weiner, Sandi Fellman, Merry Alpern... Some are certainly more notable than others and some might not be notable enough for Wikipedia but they at least deserve to be checked out. --Ipigott (talk) 15:05, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Cape Nome

Always ready to comply for a friend. Do you want me to paraphrase PD text also? I have started on Wildlife of Vietnam. You may like to contribute. I also added some text today on Groenendael Priory.Is this reference [1] useful and what is the clausura? I hope what I have added is OK. I did some QPQs today. Last three days I could not work at home as my internet was down. It got restored today. Fir Hill has received good support. Anything to be done on the Group of Monuments of Mahabalipuram?--Nvvchar. 15:25, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

I have edited the PD text and also added more text from new references (all from books) and also fixed a few images. May like to see and reply to DYK review and also add an img now. I am really surprised that PD text which was approved (lot of them were done on UK) in the previous years has now become a issue. Thank you.--Nvvchar. 03:50, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

It has become virtually impossible for me to keep track of what has been nominated and what DYK has issues or not.

Churches in Faxe Municipality

Hi there. I finally managed to get all five up to basic DYK standard. Had considerable difficulty with Freerslev as there was very little online. In the end I managed to dig out a 1936 book from the National Museum of Denmark with all the necessary details. I could have used the same source for expanding the others too but with five to do in as many days, I just did not have time. I was wondering why you chose churches in Faxe Municipality. Any special reason? I am still hoping to return to Lolland when I have a bit more time. Lots of interesting churches (and other buildings and features) to cover there too.--Ipigott (talk) 12:58, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I see you participate in the A-Z country DYK challenge. Would you be interested in extending it (well, creating a new one) to US states?--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 20:42, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Hmm, ok well it might be an interesting direction for producing new articles. When I finish the county challenge I plan to move onto a similar list-based challenge but in a different area, maybe another county, or maybe something else. I shall create another page.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 20:52, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

  • The new format has made exchange on our talk pages very rare. I have taken the liberty of editing the last para of this article Braaby Church to comply with reviewer's observation though I am not one of the authors. I changed the hook text also. I hope it goes through now. In Yoram Tsafrir I have deleted the date as I could not locate the date of his birth in spite of extensive search. It should be OK now. As regards the article on Protected areas of Namibia, I hope the user who jumps in other short articles will add some text as it is going to be a very long article.--Nvvchar. 12:11, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Of course it is! It wouldn't be my favourite TV series otherwise! The first episode is this. Do watch it, it's only 48 minutes, if you're not hooked by it after one episode then fair enough, but everything about it from the quirky music, the gripping plots and occasional silliness and the whole look of it usually grabs your attention. It's very late 60s in appearance, you might see visions of 1960s decor in it! I love that series to bits, even more than the Avengers.

Ignore the waiting ones for now, most of the current ones were started today or yesterday and still have 4 or 5 days left, should be plenty of time.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:21, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Yey, I knew you'd love it!! I've got very good taste in films and TV and it is just so cool! There is a newish website on it here where they've tried to figure out where everything was filmed. So far I think they've tackled about half a dozen episodes, here's Episode 1 overview. Such a cool website! Its worth browsing after you've seen an episode, quite a treat, I've spotted quite a few notable country houses missing from that website. I just love the tinny, quirky music and the whole look of the series, its like going back in a time machine to 60s London, so groovy baby! A Disturbing Case is next I think, which is probably the funniest in the series and was written by Mike Pratt himself here it is.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:59, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Women in photography

Hi Rosiestep. Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit under the weather. Just let me say how much I always appreciate your continuing support in areas of mutual interest. I finally decided to put Women in photography in the main space as it was getting longer and longer but I still need to cover much of the history since the 1940s and would also like to include key players from countries around the world. Maybe additional sections on documentary work, fashion and advertising, important award winners, etc. You'll see I've included your pretty picture at the top. Hope to see you back soon. Cheer up!--Ipigott (talk) 09:02, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Very strange. It makes a mockery of citing reliable refs and sources if they cannot be checked. But I still think it very strange that anything was "built" on the property in 1855. Perhaps the existing building was converted into a school? --Ipigott (talk) 20:35, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
  • Thanks for your explanations. Sorry to keep harping on about this but I think there is a little confusion here. The national school in Oakley is clearly documented elsewhere, see for example this article which states: "In 1852 a National School was built at the expense of Mr W Beach which now forms part of St Leonard’s Centre. The building soon became too small and was extended in 1870′s." It is in the village of Oakley itself, a few hundred meters to the west of Oakley Hall. As Oakley Hall itself was used for a (separate) naval officers' school during World War II, I would suggest the passage on the national school be moved into the article on Oakley, Hampshire. And while I'm here, I thought I would let you know I soon intend to get back to articles about Denmark, starting with a few more on Lolland. I look forward to your continued enthusiastic collaboration.--Ipigott (talk) 06:42, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

One of my earliest memories is playing in a field of buttercups and daffodils and stroking sheep and seeing sheep wool on the barbed wire fence framing the field some time in the early to mid 80s!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:37, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

My first beach memory is Manorbier File:Manorbierbeachcomposite.jpg. Best place for sheep I've been is Ogmore-by-Sea, as you drive along the coastal road they're often in the road and grazing on the hillsides. Some time we'll have to expand those articles!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:56, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
