Replaceable fair use File:DionAMJ.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DionAMJ.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Misplaced Pages. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I am a bit sad of what became of your hook idea, but fighting the purists at ERRORS would have been a waste of time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:26, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the thought. I was away and missed it, but have now gone back in the ERRORS history and seen what happened. They misunderstood what the unusual aspect of the hook was. And if they went with the hook they used, they should have given the full group name instead of the abbreviation, as the well-known names contrasting with not getting a recording contract would have been more hookier. If I had been around I would have argued against it, but like you say, it can be hard to prevail there. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Redirects, broadcast stations

Hey,

I saw your revert of some of the changes I made on Columbia Lectures in International Studies and wanted to respond to your statements on redirects.

Broadcast stations, for reasons that are especially prevalent in radio but also worth keeping in mind in TV, are an exception to WP:NOTBROKEN that is enshrined in that guidance: Radio and TV station call letters, since call letters given up by one station can be used later by a different station. This is because we reserve primary topic status for the current user of a call sign when one exists. I'm astonished WTVP-TV still redirected to WAND (TV) after all these years as the type of error someone could reasonably make in looking for WTVP.

I don't mind listing a link like "WNBC-TV (channel 4)" or, if disambiguation is needed from another station that later used the call sign in the same general area, through-linking the parenthetical or frequency, such as "WWJ-TV (channel 4)", "KTAR-FM 98.7", or "WBML (1240 AM)". The latter is standard practice for me in this type of situation. However, I do suggest avoiding redirects (and capitalization of "channel" mid-sentence).

Thanks for keeping the Metromedia change, by the way. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:52, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: Thanks, I knew some of the NOTBROKEN exceptions but not that one. I understand its rational for radio stations, not sure about tv stations, but it's there. So I have now restored the redirect bypasses that you put in.

As for capitalizing 'Channel' in running text, I feel strongly that this is appropriate. They are effectively proper nouns representing the name of a station, not just short-hand for a broadcast frequency. The NYT stories that are used as sources in this article consistently capitalize it, both when used after the call sign, as in "... over WNEW-TV (Channel 5) beginning ...", and when used stand-alone, as in "... stimulating start last night over Channel 5" or "... the advent next fall of Channel 13 will have ...". I also feel strongly that stations are best identified to readers by the combination of call sign and channel. If you ask a New York tv viewer of this era what station had Sandy Becker or Wonderama, they would say Channel 5 not WNEW, and if you asked them what the main educational/public station was, they would say Channel 13 not WNET (and surely not WNDT).

As for Metropolitan Broadcasting versus Metromedia, the majority of sources I used here actually said Metropolitan Broadcasting. I think that's because it was still in use as a broadcasting system name, even if it wasn't the corporate name after 1961. However some of the sources I used here said Metromedia, so it wasn't consistent. So I can live with either arrangement. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:59, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

I think the "channel" versus "Channel" thing would be a good WT:MOS question, actually. I don't like it personally, but I do hear where you're coming from, especially given that newspapers used this as their style for a long time. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:09, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

GA review of Washington County Closed-Circuit Educational Television Project

I'm contacting you here rather than the review page because I don't want to pile on and/or interfere with your efforts to actually help that article's editor improve the article. So, this is just to say that I took a quick look and noticed some phrasing that immediately struck me as odd, specifically, ending a sentence with "certain important things", which is what a person might say in a quote as their brain summarizes but does not specify something, but not what you'd write from scratch in an encyclopedia article. So I looked at the linked sources around that text and found the following close paraphrasing, some of which is close enough that I would ordinarily report the two or three paragraphs I looked at for copyvio RD1 after removal/rewrite (and check the entire remainder of the article, of course). Some examples below.

• Our article: The Washington County Closed-Circuit Educational Television Project was not intended to take over the whole school day.Source: Superintendent of Schools William M. Brish emphasized that the television lessons were never intended to take over the whole school day for students.
• Our article: Television lessons were intended to augment the regular school lessons and accomplish certain important things.Source: However, he said, if television education is used during part of the school day, it makes possible the accomplishments of certain important things.
• Our article: The studio teachers were recruited from the county regular teachers.Source: Studio teachers were recruited almost entirely from the ranks of county teachers.
• Our article: The studio teachers worked as a team with the regular school room teachers in each subject area for the curriculum of televised instruction.Source: The studio teachers work as a team with classroom teachers in each subject area in planning the curriculum of televised instruction...
• Our article: Each televised lesson that the students watched was followed up by a regular school room teacher whose knowledge of the subject was par with the studio teacher so that the pupils' questions were answered correctly and laboratory work was done properly.Source: Each televised lesson is followed up by a classroom teacher whose knowledge of the subject must be on a par with the studio teacher so that questions are answered accurately, testing is effective, and laboratory work and drill is done properly.

I have almost no experience with the GA review process, but I do spend some of my editing time on copyvio cleanup. So I hope that you'll take these observations into account as you work with the editor. I do genuinely appreciate and admire your willingness to put in the time to improve the article.

Yes, in starting the content part of the review I too happened to spot "certain important things", and also "books, filmstrips, and other tools" from the same source isn't paraphrased quite enough. I also saw "not intended to take over the whole school day" but decided that one was borderline acceptable. The other instances you list I didn't see; they are over the line and the last one is way way over it.

I've done a few GA reviews of this nominator's articles in the past and I'm familiar with some of the non-copyvio-related observations made of him at ANI – floods the queue with simultaneous nominations, is anxious to get through the review process as fast as possible, doesn't communicate well, won't help out by doing reviews himself. Nonetheless the whole thing made me feel bad – he does pick some interesting topics that would otherwise be overlooked/forgotten in the modern online world and he does do appreciable amounts of research. So I decided I would try to review this one. We'll see how it goes, and thanks again. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:25, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

September music

September songs

Thank you for DYK reviewing! The rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and this year was full of music that day, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto (my brother played in the orchestra), and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:05, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Impressive set of DYKs and a nice set of performance-and-venue photos to go along with the day. Wasted Time R (talk) 21:39, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

October 2022

From your edit history, it looks like you occassionally have possible interest in political biography articles. For the past several months, I've been editing the president's article for James Madison, and thought to ask you if this would be of sufficient interest for you to look at. After my successful GAN promotion for it, there are now another two positive peer reviews as well. Any interest for you to possibly be a co-nominator for a FAC nomination for this political biography article? ErnestKrause (talk) 13:13, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

I've gone ahead with the FAC nomination for the James Madison article and was wondering if you might be able to look in and possibly make any support/oppose comments there for the article? ErnestKrause (talk) 22:38, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Its all appreciated for your new edits. I've left a short comment of appreciation on my Talk page for you. ErnestKrause (talk) 23:13, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

User:Display has made some comments related to his edit requests made during the Madison upgrade process and he appears to be unaware of your comments on my Talk page here: . Could you try to explain your comment to him, at least in some short form, at the FAC review for Madison; he appears to be ill-informed about something. ErnestKrause (talk) 18:47, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

@ErnestKrause: My advice would be to ignore it, as engaging that editor further is unlikely to be productive. The FAC coordinators will be able to see that the comments are colored by the editor's recent disputes and topic ban around a similar FA article. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:48, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

He appears to be transferring his edit misconduct from the Andrew Jackson page to the FAC for Madison right now; I'm not sure that ignoring it would convince him not to transfer his poor edit conduct to the FAC for Madison. Those were nice edits you did for Madison yesterday, however, the co-nominator at FAC (Mike) is so put off by Display's conduct that he has withdrawn as co-nominator according to his comment there. Should I still try to ignore Display for this, or what's the next best alternative? ErnestKrause (talk) 16:11, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

@ErnestKrause: Well, you could invite him to post his unresolved issues with the Madison article on the FAC page and say that you will try to understand and address them but without substantially increasing the article length. That puts the focus back on the FAC process, where it should be, instead of on discussions of editor conduct, which generally only make things worse.

Your latest edit to PL/C

Your mention of the Terak is interesting, since it is a PDP-11 box rather that IBM mainframe. The abstract of the Stillman article seems to imply that Cornell was running Pascal on them, rather than PL/C. The Daily Sun reference explicitly says PL/C, but only says they’re working on it. Since PL/C was written in IBM assembler, this would be interesting. Do you have any inside knowledge or are you only going by the references? I’m still looking for a copy of the darned thing, so this would be big news. Peter Flass (talk) 19:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

No, I don't have inside knowledge about the PL/CS variant or the Terak, and yes, I have also wondered about the extent to which PL/CS ran on the Terak. The end of the Stillman paper says "For this purpose, we have purchased Terak microcomputers, which are based on Digital Equipment Corporation's LSI-11 processor. In place of UCSD Pascal, our first semester course will be using PL/CS, a system developed at Cornell University which is much simpler to operate than the UCSD system." (I believe you can see the whole paper even if you aren't an ACM member, as they have opened up access to articles of this vintage.) The Teitelbaum CACM paper says "The design and implementation of the Program Synthesizer began in May 1978, and demonstrable prototype versions were operational under UNIX as well as on Terak (LSI-11) microcomputers by December 1978 . ... The first language implemented for the Synthesizer was PL/CS, an instructional dialect of PL/I . PL/CS had previously been defined to serve as a vehicle for research on batch-oriented, error-correcting compilers as well as for program verification ." However, the Rudan history of computing at Cornell article says that "With regard to individual microcomputers for teaching, introductory computer programming, the was very interested in the innovative and interesting development of the Cornell Program Synthesizer by Tim Teitelbaum, professor in Computer Science. Using an LSI-11 chip, Teitelbaum developed this self-contained system for writing structured programs from a video display tube using a subset of the PL/CS processor running in a “syntax-directed synthesizer.” As it turned out, the Terak company was building microcomputers that contained the LSI-11 chip, and so several of these computers were purchased for use as development and test machines as a joint OCS and Computer Science project. ... Because the Synthesizer could compose only PL/C programs, OCS built the necessary software and hardware connections so that the Synthesizer could send completed programs to the IT batch processor on the 370/168 for execution and printing of results." So what to make of all that? The arrangement that Rudan describes certainly doesn't sound like the 'simpler to operate' system that Stillman describes. The people who implemented PL/C were experienced compiler developers who had previously had a heritage (CORC and CUPL) of developing compilers for non-IBM systems, so maybe they did built part of PL/CS for the LSI-11? I'm not sure. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:43, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I think this discussion should be moved to the talk page for PL/C, I should never have started it here. I want to take some time to review the sources in more detail, and maybe some other research, they're certainly confusing, but your edit is faithful to the sources. The CPS contains an interpreter for PL/C.

Sadly, Cornell seems to have been better at developing things than saving copies of them. Peter Flass (talk) 16:41, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

First Ladies of the United States

Hello! I'm currently trying to bring List of first ladies of the United States to Good Topic status. I understand that you're a major contributor to Nancy Reagan and you've already brought it close to Good Article status. I also understand that you brought Hillary Clinton to Featured Article status before it was delisted. I was wondering if you had any interest in nominating one or both of these as Good Articles. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:50, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

@Thebiguglyalien: Thanks for the query, but I have to say I'm not interested. I retired from working on the HRC article during 2015/16 and have no desire to return. As for Nancy, I contributed most of the acting section and a few other bits here and there, but another editor was mainly responsible for getting it to FA. After that person disappeared from WP, I tried to keep it at FA level for a couple of years, but after a while I grew tired of the watchlist churn of unsourced additions, wording changes that didn't improve anything, minor formatting alterations that led to hard-to-decipher diffs, and so on, so I gave up. Both of these articles ended up being delisted from FA, which maybe is an example of 'be careful what you wish for'. But never mind what I think, I wish you well with your Good Topic effort ... Wasted Time R (talk) 22:39, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
