Humber and Hosmer

I'm also disappointed that Humber didn't receive more page views than it did while it was promoted, but whaddyagonnado? Even though I keep track of page views for my DYKs, it's more for personal curiosity than bragging rights or anything like that.

Secret (talk · contribs) has informed me that he's going to be too busy with work to keep up on Eric Hosmer's GA nom. I've agreed to pick it up from him, as I created the article back in the day. Give me some time to read the article and GA nom page, and I'll try to get the review past the finish line. If you have any pointers, I'd gladly hear them. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:18, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes my activity is going to be extremely random at least for the next two weeks, maybe more. I've only had enough time to check my watchlist for a few minutes at a time. Let Muboshgu or me know if there's more concerns, I've added the second Rookie of the Month award. Thanks Secret account 05:38, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

College football notability

Tony -- There's a discussion on my user page (User:Cbl62/College football notability) in which several of us are trying to develop some better notability standards for college football players. Given your experience in this area, I'd welcome your feedback. To sharpen the discussion, we've been kicking around several Michigan and Florida football players, including some Michigan guys you worked on. This is just an informal discussion to help get a better handle on general standards, but I figured you might want to comment. Cbl62 (talk) 20:23, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Main page appearance: South Side, Chicago

This is a note to let the main editors of South Side, Chicago know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 5, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 5, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Regents Park

The South Side is a major part of the City of Chicago. Regions of the city, referred to as sides, are divided by the Chicago River and its branches. The South Side of Chicago was originally defined as all of the city south of the main branch of the Chicago River, but it now excludes the Loop. The South Side has a varied ethnic composition, and it has great disparity in income and other demographic measures. The South Side covers 60% of the city's land area, with a higher ratio of single-family homes and larger sections zoned for industry than the rest of the city. Neighborhoods such as Armour Square, Back of the Yards, Bridgeport, and Pullman tend to be composed of more blue collar residents, while Hyde Park, the Jackson Park Highlands District, Kenwood, and Beverly tend to have middle, upper-middle class, and affluent residents. The South Side boasts a broad array of cultural and social offerings, such as professional sports teams, landmark buildings, nationally renowned museums, elite educational institutions, world class medical institutions, and major parts of the city's elaborate parks system.

Anthony Davis

I've been considering doing a GA review on Davis for a while, but when I started to actually do it, it came out more like a peer review. You can see what I came up with here. You can treat this a few ways. One, you can totally ignore it, and I'll probably delete the page after a few weeks. Two, you can address the concerns you feel are necessary as a general means of improving the article and wait for someone else to do an official GA review. Three, you can engage in some back and forth with me on that page to try and resolve the issues I raised (some of which probably set the bar higher than actually required for GA), then I will include that as part of a formal GA review (along with image review, possible source spot checks, etc.) Your call. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 19:34, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, our interests did intersect there. How about you Chicago folks keep sending your best roundball players to UK where the Big Blue Nation can enjoy them? That'll give the two of us some more common interests! Glad you found the review helpful. I'm just now getting into the reviewing side of things, and I worried it might be overkill for GA.
I haven't really decided what's going to dictate which reviews I focus on yet, but I am somewhat familiar with Juwan Howard and did take a look to decide if I wanted to review that article. To be honest, the sheer size of it intimidated me. I didn't want to start on it and not be able to finish, but the dude has unquestionably had a great career and deserves the kind of article you clearly appear to be building for him. Maybe I can gather my courage and at least take a shot at it. Nothing else at WP:PR has my interest piqued at the moment.
BTW, I got curious and read over some of your bio this morning. It's freaking awesome! Acdixon (talk · contribs) 17:02, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Parker's is definitely a name I'm familiar with. The 2013 HS class is so loaded it's not even funny. Congrats on the potential four first rounders; the NBA folks who don't follow college ball will appreciate your introduction to whoever their team just drafted. Hoping more than a few Knicks fans checked out Josh Harrellson after I created that article. I'll bet Royce White was a fun one to do. After watching him in the tourney against the Cats, I can see that he is a beast of a player. There is at least one more recent Chicago-UK connection that I am aware of – DeAndre Liggins. His current article is just a stub, but a while back, I made an abortive attempt to flesh out an article on him using articles from Newsbank. If you'd ever like to collaborate and see what we can come up with for him, let me know. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 17:32, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Good point. I forgot about HighBeam in addition to Newsbank. Thanks for the head start. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 18:20, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
I was on vacation last week, so I haven't seen a whole lot of stuff I usually would have. I did know that Parker was on the SI cover, but I have not gotten a chance to read the story yet. Once I beat back the stuff I'm behind on, I'll try to check it out. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 13:23, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Citations

I've always regarded citation style as somewhat a matter of preference. All of the GAs and FAs in the Governors of Kentucky good topic use the same style that I've used in the Harrellson article, and all passed their respective reviews without incident. In articles where the citations are heavy on web and newspaper sources, the style you've used for Davis may make more sense, but for articles where citations are mostly from books and include page numbers, restating the full bibliographic information within the footnote makes little sense. Granted, the Harrellson article falls more into the former category, but I've always regarded it as the editor's option. I don't think it should be used to derail a recognized content nomination either way, as long as the citation style is coherent. Kind of like choosing between APA and MLA. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 20:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Really? Fails WP:V? Just because the short citation is used in the footnote and the longer one in the bibliography section? We could obviously disagree about convenience, and maybe even appropriateness in some cases, but to say that it flat out fails WP:V seems a stretch to me. Just because the reader has to take the extra step of matching the short citation to the long one in order to verify the content doesn't mean it isn't verifiable. It just means there is an extra step, just like verifying a fact in an offline source might require going to the library or verifying a fact in a foreign language source would require some translation. WP:V doesn't say it has to be as easy as possible to verify, just that it has to be verifiable. Now, because we are going to look at working together on the Liggins article, I'll probably change those over to your preferred style, but absent a reason like that, I wouldn't just go through changing them for the sake of changing them. Of course, until and unless it becomes an issue in a tangible case, we can just agree to disagree for now. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 13:27, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
OK, if it's just a matter of the page number and/or link, maybe we're closer to seeing eye-to-eye than I thought. When I first started pulling articles from Newsbank, I was not adding page numbers, but probably should have been. I'm trying to do that now. Problematically, some of the articles there don't provide page numbers, though. I don't think Highbeam gives page numbers at all. Since some articles may be available through multiple databases, I thought linking to the specific one I used could be frowned upon or regarded as advertising or promotion, even. It could also frustrate those who see the link and think it's a freebie. Maybe that isn't the case, though. Acdixon (talk · contribs) 13:50, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cat Daddy

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cat Daddy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Hahc21 (talk) 23:45, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Amazon.com

Tony, I noticed you are using Amazon.com for references. It's generally not a good idea because it's a commercial book seller (spam) and there are usually more neutral sources for basic information (such as the publisher's website, magazine articles etc), and amazon.com is a USA only website (Canada and UK have different Amazon websites). Also in the rare cases you must use Amazon, make sure to remove your referral codes from the URL, otherwise you can potentially be seen as personally profiting from these links, which is a serious no-no on Wikipedia. For example this URL you added in The Swerve: How the World Became Modern:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Swerve-World-Became-Modern/dp/0393064476/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338215038&sr=8-1

Should be trimmed down to:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Swerve-World-Became-Modern/dp/0393064476

Notice the "ref" code for referral, that's your personal code that Amazon uses to track how people arrived at a page. Green Cardamom (talk) 17:00, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Scotland Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, New York City Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
