Women's national football teams by class

FIFA national women's football teams by class

Hi. The maps are hand curated. I'll get to work on a map for women's football teams ASAP per your request. I'll put it on the task force page once I've finished. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 18:45, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Here is the map, as promised. I've coloured the countries missing teams or articles in brown. I've added it to the taskforce page, and also added a progress bar for the project. Thanks for the appreciation :) I'm glad the maps are useful and hope this one is too. Keep up the good work on sports articles! Del_♉sion23 (talk) 21:08, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Featured article help

Hey, well the main problem I see with the articles is that are very short, that's probably due to the lack of sources, but I would try and expand the articles anyway you can. I would suggest taking one of them to peer review, that way you will get the views of a few reviewers (hopefully) and they can tell you what areas need to be improved. At the moment I think the articles would struggle to get to FA, but if you try and model the article on a current FA Germany women's national football team, then I think you've got a chance. The only problem is that the teams don't seem to have much playing history which would make it hard to extend the article, I would definitely put one at Pr, though to get some feedback. Let me know when you I'd be happy to lend a few comments. Also it might be worth asking for a few more opinions at WP:FOOTY, as there a lot of users there with experience of getting articles through the featured process.

Interview Wiki news

I'll have the interview done for by tomorrow. The first time I took my 30 minutes to fill it in and then went to copy paste and everything was suddenly gone so i wasn't really in the mood to write all over again but I'll re-write it again and have it for you by tomorrow.

Was your removal of content on The Churchill Hotel because of a Wikipedia policy, or as a personal preference-like thing? (Link is incorrect). ⇒TAP 07:46, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

WP:0RR at Debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

As you were a recent participant in an edit war at the above-named article I am taking the opportunity to warn you formally that the article is now under a no-reverts rule. This means that from now on anyone making a revert will be blocked instantly without further warning, except in cases of really obvious vandalism. Instead of reverting, you should consider trying for compromise either by drafting a good-faith compromise in the article, or discussing towards one in talk. Edit-warring deters other editors and poisons the atmosphere that we need to edit constructively. Please do not do it. --John (talk) 15:23, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Canvasing

Hi Laura. I'm sorry to have to raise this at all, but your recent messages to various editors in regard to the Justin Bieber on Twitter AfD seem to run afoul WP:CANVAS. I'm sure that wasn't your intention, but while there is room for notifying interested parties, it probably wasn't the best choice to focus mostly on one side of the debate. I'm not sure if anything can be done to balance things out a bit, but it might be worth being a tad more careful with notifications to avoid any mistaken perception of bias. - Bilby (talk) 05:57, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't believe it was one sided. I attempted to comment on everyone's talk page who participated in the merge conversation, with the exception of Lady Shallot and drmies. I can comment on theirs if required but my understanding was they were already aware of this. Beyond those two, I think everyone else was alerted no matter how they voted. --LauraHale (talk) 06:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Not really. You did alert everyone who voted against merging, but you missed most of the people who voted for. Presumably drmies and Lady Shallot are aware of the afd, but there are others, such as Istara and Til I Go Home who weren't. I figure it was just an oversight, or you assumed that they would already know - my concern is only over a perception, rather than necessarily anything more, and so I figured it was worth raising briefly. - Bilby (talk) 06:15, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Both you mentioned were already participating in the deletion debate. I was not aware I had to inform users who had already voted about the existence of the conversation? And some of the people I have notified who supported a merge came in and voted delete very soon after having been informed by me. Have you also messaged the nominator about how they failed to inform myself, Hawkeye7 and drmies about the deletion notice and others who participated in the merge conversation? --LauraHale (talk) 06:21, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Did they? Perhaps I missed them - that would explain things - but I couldn't see their votes. At any rate, I thought Hawkeye7 made a pretty good point about how LuciferWildCat stuffed up there, and I agree that it was pretty bad form. The article creator should always be contacted when something the wrote goes to AfD. - Bilby (talk) 06:37, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I might have made a good faith miss on Till I Go Home because they have been active in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashton Kutcher on Twitter‎ that conversation. In any case, I can/will go ahead and notify them.--LauraHale (talk) 06:39, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

That's all I thought must have happened - just an oversight. I wasn't aware of the other AfD, so that makes a lot of sense. All's good then. :) - Bilby (talk) 06:41, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm not a fan of the Kutcher article. I think the article is notable but just annoyed with it. The screencaps on Kutcher need to go. I'd actually be inclined to support an AfD/Merge for Barack Obama on Twitter. I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to make sure Justin Bieber on Twitter stands as independently notable and Obama isn't anywhere near that, with like zero mentions in most of the sources I'm looking at. His coverage is NOT independent of other coverage, whereas Bieber and Gaga coverage is often mentioned independent of other topics or where people talk about how batshit insane Bieber's Twitter followers are. It should be merged into Use of Twitter by celebrities and politicians but I'm not going to actually do that. Anyway, tl;dr oversights were accidental. --LauraHale (talk) 06:50, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I've been generally aware of them, but haven't been following the AfDs much - too much marking to do at this time of year, and what time I'm not spending marking seems to be taken up on data collection. :) Anyway, I'm glad I raised things with you - it was an easy fix, and didn't warrant mentioning anywhere else. Good luck with the AfD. - Bilby (talk) 07:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I submit my thesis tomorrow. AfD is a question of what is notable and encyclopediaic. There are over 150 sources in the article. I could probably add another 3,000 if necessary but I've been focusing more on academic sources today to help build a better argument against fancruft. --LauraHale (talk) 07:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

In that case, extra good luck with the thesis. I hope it get's accepted outright without changes. :) - Bilby (talk) 07:16, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Won't happen but nice to be optimistic. :) Twitter is a major part of my thesis. Hence my interest in these articles. --LauraHale (talk) 07:19, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

That's a much cooler topic than my work. :) I'm stuck with much more boring epistemology research. I should have done twitter. - Bilby (talk) 07:34, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Plenty of room for Twitter research in other fields. ;) My stuff is basically methodology. --LauraHale (talk) 07:36, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Justin Bieber again

I think the Justin Bieber on Twitter article could stand some expansion to incorporate the new material you have unearthed. If it's okay with you, I would like to ask the delegate to withdraw the FAC nomination at this time. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:37, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Please feel free. Article has stability problems at the moment so probably not the best time. --LauraHale (talk) 11:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Laura!

From my POV it looked like you were (amongst other things) pointing out the problem that people frequently use sources that only make trivial mention of the subject of the article and like to do some WP:PUFFERY for their favorite artist. I know you said this is not the case. But I am curious to see how you react to that statement. Can you imagine it seems that way to me, even if it is unintentional? Why or why not? John (over 120k edits, more than one account) and myself (over 100k edits, more than one account) are not new here. John wrote:

"I couldn't disagree more. Removing this sort of kludge is a prerequisite for even keeping this article. That it was promoted to GA is an unfortunate fluke; with the quality of writing it had last month it was not even close to GA quality. By trimming out some of the worst writing and correcting some of the worst errors, this article has been improved immeasurably. Edit-warring to return this material seems particularly tragic."

Is it possible that you unintentionally did something that we strongly dislike? Is it possible that we are not completely crazy? Is it possible that my edit was actually an improvement, even if it is a slight one? Arcandam (talk) 12:05, 2 July 2012 (UTC) p.s. I spent some time and effort trying to make this message as friendly as possible.
