Other neat portal ideas for longer term

• Longer term ideas to think about from other portals:

1. Events section, like: "On this day" e.g., Biography, Religion, United States; "Selected anniversaries" e.g., War; "Calendar" at Holidays. Interesting idea of "Month selected anniversaries", at Oregon.
2. Model intro with some rotating images, after Portal:Oregon, Portal:Indiana, Portal:Iceland/Intro and Portal:Philosophy of science/Intro.
3. Revamp DYK sections w/ free-use images, model after Portal:Criminal justice and Portal:Oregon.
4. Portal palettes at User:RichardF/Palettes/Portals. Comparable color schemes can be developed from the various hue lists at User:RichardF/Palettes. Also see Portal:Box-header.
5. If there are a lot of categories, then categories section to 2 columns, like in Portal:Indiana.

Dispatch

Cirt, Awadewit suggested that you might be interested in writing a Signpost Dispatch article on Featured portals (the only area of featured content we haven't covered). Sample previous articles are at {{FCDW}}. We've covered:

• Featured content overview
• Peer review
• Did you know
• Featured lists
• Good articles
• Featured sounds
• Featured topics
• Images
• TFA
• And Featured articles many times: Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2008-07-21/Dispatches, Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2008-04-07/Dispatches, Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Signpost/2008-10-13/Dispatches

None of them start out looking like that: if an editor initially just chunks in some text, many others chip in to tweak it up to Signpost standards. For example, someone wrote this, which Karanacs, Royalbroil and I turned into this, so if you just chunk in some text as a start, others can help finish it off. Another example, I put in this outline, and Karanacs brought it up to this. Other editors have written almost complete and clean Dispatches without much need for other editing. If you're interested, please weigh in and coordinate at WT:FCDW In case you're interested, you could just begin sandboxing something at WP:FCDW/Portals and pop over to WT:FCDW to leave a note when you're ready for others to help out. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Will mull this over and most likely draft something up. Cirt (talk) 11:54, 18 November 2108 (UTC)

Razzies progress

• 15th Golden Raspberry Awards through 29th Golden Raspberry Awards = reformatting process done.
  • Note: Going to have to go back and model these after the modifications made subsequently to 29th Golden Raspberry Awards.
• 29th Golden Raspberry Awards - so far only one expanded with sourcing research. (WP:FL)
• Razzie Award for Worst New Star = reformatting process done, next to use Talk:Razzie Award for Worst Picture as model to reformat other pages in Category:Golden Raspberry Awards by category (with subsection breaks by decade)

Concerns about editor with what seems to me anyway to be a definite COI

I was wondering whether you might be interested in looking at some of the contributions recently made at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Massachusetts/Salem Witch Trials Task Force, and possibly some of the other comments elsewhere made by some of the editors there. I get the definite impression that one editor involved with the topic may have a very serious conflict of interests regarding this topic, but think that I might as an individual have a biased judgement on the matter. I am not naming anyone in particular; if you don't see comments which strike you as being at least potentially problematic, please feel free to ignore this as, possibly, an overreaction on my part. John Carter (talk) 22:35, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, will try to take a look. -- Cirt (talk) 18:35, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

David McMahan again

Though my edit summary in removing this probably should have been more along the lines of WP:UNDUE, it also seems like this edit was an attempt to circumvent the AFD. Thoughts? OhNoitsJamie 17:22, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Addendum: I didn't touch this one, but the issue is also being covered in Streisand effect. OhNoitsJamie 17:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Agreed, it does appear to be circumventing the AFD. -- Cirt (talk) 18:34, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

closeure review

Could I ask you to please review your closure of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Krystyn Heide? This was a double nomination, and at closure there were four editors arguing for deletion of the Krystyn Heide article, but only the nominator had any problem with the Squarespace article, and thee editors (myself included) argued for its retention. — pd_THOR | 19:43, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done. -- Cirt (talk) 19:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! — pd_THOR | 19:47, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

No worries, -- Cirt (talk) 19:47, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, would you mind leaving a note at the AFD, so that it's clearer for anybody who might follow-up and think the article was accidentally not deleted? — pd_THOR | 19:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done. -- Cirt (talk) 20:04, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again for your help! Be well. — pd_THOR | 20:05, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

You are welcome, -- Cirt (talk) 20:09, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

GA M-6 (Michigan highway)

I know this is a bit out of your subject area expertise, but I started a GA review of M-6 (Michigan highway) and there seems to be a difference of opinion with the author over how much explanatory material should be included to make the article self explanatory. I would appreciate a second set of eyes reading the article to see whether it should be clarified, particulary with respect to who designates roads as a part of the National Highway System and the use of exit number designations. I would appreciate if you could spend a couple of minutes looking it over and give your opinion. Thanks. Racepacket (talk) 21:41, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Hrm, suggest you try posting matter-of-fact, neutrally-worded-notices to talk pages of relevant WikiProjects. -- Cirt (talk) 00:22, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Please be clear about what you are doing

When you block an account, please leave a note on the talk page so that other editors don't see a red entry for the talk page of that IP address in the history log of the pages they have changed. Specifically, account 94.103.100.100, which appears in the log for Populus. Thank you. Nadiatalent (talk) 22:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done. -- Cirt (talk) 00:21, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

As I go through some of the articles, I will also make a note if one's not there already (I am making notes in the edit summaries). Cirt, you have blocked a good number of the socks I had identified, but I have the first few listed on my talk page. Let me know if you want them in another format or template to make checking them easier Flowanda | Talk 00:33, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

94.11.28.83 block

Hi. I saw 94.11.28.83 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) reported at WP:AIV and I was starting to check it out when you blocked the IP based on what was reported to be a vandalistic edit:] The name "DiC" certainly looks like schoolkid vandalism, but I don't think it was. The IP changed the Wikilink from  ]  to  ].  Our article, DiC, is about a company that's now part of Cookie_Jar_Group. --A. B. 20:23, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Great work

Cirt, thank you for closing all the User:Mahia Yahia and Koraiem MfDs. Nearly 50 MfDs by my count. Great work! Cunard (talk) 01:03, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

You are welcome. Thanks for thanking me! Much appreciated, -- Cirt (talk) 01:06, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

/* Your assistance please */

I request userification of Associated Press library of Guantanamo Bay detainee dossiers to User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Associated Press library of Guantanamo Bay detainee dossiers. I'd like the full revision history and talk page please.

IIRC I suggested userification on Talk:Associated Press library of Guantanamo Bay detainee dossiers over a year ago.

Thanks Geo Swan (talk) 02:14, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done. -- Cirt (talk) 03:40, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I would like to ask additional assistance. Could you merge the history of User:Geo Swan/working/AP List with User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Associated Press library of Guantanamo Bay detainee dossiers. Back in 2007 I didn't know one could move a page from user space to article space.

Thanks Geo Swan (talk) 02:47, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Thats my name

You have blocked me but Kshitij is a Indian name. How can i change my name?? (Kshitij85 (talk) 05:30, 13 October 2010 (UTC))

Replied at user talk page. -- Cirt (talk) 05:31, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

No problem, although this is the second time i am facing this problem. But its ok. Thanks (Kshitij85 (talk)) —Preceding undated comment added 05:36, 13 October 2010 (UTC).

Zend Certified Engineer

Could you please take a second look at the Zend Certified Engineer deletion discussion?

IMHO there was no consensus to merge, nor valid arguments to do so. The arguments for merging are extraneous and/or are in conflict with the guidelines for merging, "Merging should not be considered if" :

1. The separate topics could be expanded into longer standalone (but cross linked) articles
2. The topics are discrete subjects and deserve their own articles even though they may be short

Some users have argued that the topic is "not particularly notable", in spite of the fact that reliable sources that discuss 'Zend Certified Engineer' are cited.

The claim that the book "PHP: The Good Parts" cannot be "checked" or that it only mentions ZCE in one sentence is completely false. The book is easily "checked" by anyone who bothers to actually read it. I made a reference to the page of the first mention, which is located at the beginning of the book in the introduction summary chapter and is one sentence long. However, ZCE is discussed throughout the book in many chapters as well as in other reliable sources.

Thanks,

Ofus (talk) 08:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I did not close that AFD, try asking with the closing admin. -- Cirt (talk) 08:16, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

G8

Hi. Could you please let me know why this page (Comparison_of_knowledge_management_software) has been deleted? It seems to be a normal page like Comparison_of_FTP_client_software or Comparison_of_file_managers. And I do not see anything related to the G8. Please elaborate. Thank you in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The.aloner (talk • contribs) 12:17, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Was deleted after WP:AFD discussion, at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Comparison of knowledge base management software. -- Cirt (talk) 12:22, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick answer. I believe there are two main problems with the page: links to external websites that make it a link farm, and non-neutral characteristics for some features. In other aspects is seems to be valuable because it gives some comparison for software in this industry. I'm learning several examples of comparison pages and it seems to me that solving these two problems may make this page more appropriate. I think I can start remaking the page. How do you think, is that better to make changes to the currently moved page or it is better to apply changes if page is undeleted? -- The.aloner (talk) 15:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Deletion review for EXtremeDB

An editor has asked for a deletion review of EXtremeDB. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Stifle (talk) 15:55, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

"direct quotations need cites at end of sentences. The citations cover everything that precedes them; it's unnecesary clutter to repeat the same citation after every sentence. Malleus Fatuorum 23:17, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

You are wrong, but not going to revert over it. The FA will just remain in a sub-standard level of quality. -- Cirt (talk) 23:18, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

One of us is certainly wrong, but it isn't me. Let me just say that I find your general attitude to be apalling, and I now fully understand why Giano refused to have anything to do with your vindictive FAR campaign against him. I on the other hand will continue to work on improving this article instead of idly criticising it, despite your best efforts at sabotage. Malleus Fatuorum 23:30, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I believe I have seen from your behavior in the past, that on your user talk page you do not appreciate users being impolite towards you, when they choose to go over and comment there. -- Cirt (talk) 23:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

I believe that you don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about. Malleus Fatuorum 23:32, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

DYK for National Foundation for Women Legislators

On 15 October 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article National Foundation for Women Legislators, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

A word of advice

- I didn't see the Malleus/Cirt affair until today, but I have now read it and the FAR that preceded it. Without expressing any opinion on Malleus' definitions of what on earth might constitute incivility, I would like to point out that your posts throughout the FAR are exactly the kind of thing that make me dump any involvement in a FAR. In fact I've walked away from FARs, though without comment, for far less. I appreciate you were just trying to list the faults of the article as you saw them but can I ask you to read that FAR again from the mindset of someone who is trying to effect actual improvements. Can you try and understand how your tone and apparently peremptory demands may well lead an editor to just write sofixit in huge letters across the page and then push off? It's human nature. If someone instructs you to do something that you were doing anyway, you think "no, I won't!". Yours with the best of intentions, Fainites scribs 10:42, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Fainites, I thank you for the input, and especially the respectful and polite way in which you have imparted it. I will take your words under advisement in the future. -- Cirt (talk) 10:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I issued an apology to Malleus . -- Cirt (talk) 06:59, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Blocking

Another user has made the almost the same edits to 90210 (season 1) as this IP: User talk:24.18.37.151 that you blocked. User:99hgbh is the one I'm thinking is a sockpuppet of the IP. Could you please review the summary of 90210 season 1 and check out the comment here made by user:99hgbh. What do you think? I've gone ahead and reverted the edits, but I won't post on their talk page until I get your opinion on if you think it's a sockpuppetry case. Jayy008 (talk) 18:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Inappropriate canvassing

Posting an invitation to join the bacon project on 70 user talk pages (I think I did two edits on that page over three years ago) is inappropriate canvassing, in my opinion. Han-Kwang (t) 10:46, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Um, it is just an invitation, take it or leave it. There is no ongoing discussion that could be seen as being influenced. -- Cirt (talk) 10:48, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Silvio Pollio

Hi, Thanks for protecting the page. I sure picked an interesting one to learn about wikipedia editing. LOL. Anyhow, I was wondering why you added the refimproveBLP tag to the page. 3 different major canadian newspapers, plus a couple smaller locals are referenced. I even found the court documents via google search, but thought I read somewhere those should not be used? However: Policy shortcut: WP:WELLKNOWN clearly states = "In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is notable, relevant, and well-documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it. So could the refimprove BLP tag be removed please. Or could you clarify for me what would need to be improved? Thanks.Bluebadger1 (talk) 17:42, 16 October 2010 (UTC) Also commented on BLP boards for reference. Bluebadger1 (talk) 17:57, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm currently checking into doing this, however, I believe it is possible for me to complete the task. Please note that this may take a little bit of time, as I must set it up and get it approved; perhaps around 2 weeks (I'll see if I can move it through BAG faster because it's a smaller task).

Deshastha Brahmin

A while back you reviewed Deshastha Brahmin in response to a GA nomination but it didn't pass at that time. I've re-nominated it after a peer review, copy-edit, and the changes you had recommended. Just wanted to let you know of the nomination since you had mentioned back then to notify you of the re-nomination. Zuggernaut (talk) 06:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah okay, thank you. -- Cirt (talk) 19:17, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Apology

Cirt, I owe you a couple of apologies. After we spoke off-wiki, I realized that it would have been better to post a question about your behaviour at FAR to your talk page, as Fainites did above. There was no reason for me to complain about your behaviour at Sandy's page without trying your talk page first, particularly since you and I are not complete strangers and have occasionally interacted in the past. I read a quite negative construction into your actions instead of assuming good faith, and I apologize for that too. The off-wiki conversation has made it clear to me that you did not intend your actions to be construed as they were. I hope that we can avoid any more misunderstandings. Thanks, and I hope you can forgive me for not talking to you first. -- Mike Christie (talk) 16:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much. This is most appreciated. -- Cirt (talk) 16:49, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

De brief voor de Koning

Sure and it's my pleasure; happy to be of help. Excellent article; keep up the good work! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:16, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! ;) -- Cirt (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Dominika Stará

Hello Cirt. I apologize for bothering you repeatedly ... I left a comment at the Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons, however, my note remained unnoticed. Should I move the section to the bottom of the noticeboard? Thanks for any help/advice. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 14:39, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

 Done. -- Cirt (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Can you help me please?

The article Tom Quinn (Spooks) quickfailed GA because the article was in a need of a copyedit. Since you previously worked on Adam Carter. I was wondering if you can copyedit that article for me. Thank you. -- Matthew RD 14:44, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Will take a look. -- Cirt (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Suggest you follow the advice of the GA Reviewer, and take the article to peer review before going for GAN again. The GA Reviewer in particular is one I have come across to have sound judgment, so I would advise against contesting the review itself. -- Cirt (talk) 14:52, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Email...

Hi Cirt, I got your email. I prefer not to take part in off-wiki discussions if I can help it; it's rare that I'm up on my emails anyway - sometimes I go weeks without checking it. Karanacs (talk) 14:55, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
