I am curious as to what copyrights were in question on my current article on World Discoverer. It shows you made some changes and I was curious what those were. Also am curious if you re-rated the ship under discussion. Please let me know. Lukeduk1980 (talk) 04:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Clearing the name from BEWA Discoverer to World Discoverer under ship characteristics, under ship propulsion, misspelled diesel as eiesel, lower cased many of the wording in ship characteristics, other things on there were correct like "Solomon Islands were undergoing civil war and was boarded with equipment taken from the ship." and other things, I will clean this up better. Did not mean to step on any toes. Lukeduk1980 (talk) 05:22, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I am still implementing many of your changes and they do make more sense. Lukeduk1980 (talk) 05:31, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
I apologize for any upset. If I may ask for learning purposes, why do we lowercase all the characteristics in the ship characteristics box? I figured words could be capitalized. Also, why do we move the shipwreck photo to the reference page from your last change. Also, im trying to find some of my sources my 3 months ago on this project. Needless to say, if I cannot fin them, I will delete them. I do not question your expertise on your editing, however, it would make things alittle easier for me to understand why some of the bigger changes have taken affect. I redid most of your changes, let me know if there is a further issue. I still need to lowercase infomation on ship characteristics. Lukeduk1980 (talk) 07:28, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Alright Maralia - I have cleaned up the World Discoverer article and made many of the corrections you installed on the page. In regards to the "sandwiching" of text, I really wanted to use the photo of the Discoverer while in port under the service history heading. I could not bring it to the bottom right or left of the page as it would create large gaps in the article. To get the better of both worlds, I have switched the photos and miminize the photo to pit in place between the text and the ship characteristics but made the photo small so it will not do too much sandwiching. I could not find the source of the first ship to travel the Northwest Passage but it did seem alittle odd to me as I read it now. I have reworded the saysing, "The World Discoverer also had a 8,000 mile cruising range allowing the ship travel the Northwest Passage." I figure this would be ok with you. Also, I have de-capitalized many things in ship characteristics but left Abbreviations, Company Names, Locations like Sandfly Passage since it is a noun because it is a place. I was wondering if you wanted to re-assess the article for a possible higher ranking for the WikiProject: ships assessment scale. If it still does not meet your prefered level, give me some more advice for corrections please. Thank you. Lukeduk1980 (talk) 03:21, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
OK, I will go back to the baord and take care of the mistakes listed and then some. I do appreciate the input, it is taken with an open heart. Lukeduk1980 (talk) 05:07, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Maralia. If it is not a bother, do you have time to copyedit the article for the real-time strategy game, Sacrifice? I am planning to take it to FAC, and I would like one not overly-familiar with video games to go over it, checking for phrases that would be unclear to most people, and smooth the clunky sentences that I am sometimes known for. Thank you. Jappalang (talk) 22:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your copy editing. I like your user page description: "meticulous when it comes to grammar, verifiability of content, and adherence to formatting standards". My grammar skills aren't wonderful but I try my best on the other two aspects. Wrt this comment, in addition to explaining things a bit more, do you think it would be interesting to say more on worldwide differences due to culture, religion and practicalities? Perhaps a "Cultural differences" subsection of "Variants"?Colin°Talk 19:56, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. I took your suggestion and started to develop an entry for the Parkinson's Disease Foundation.
While I agree that I may not have posted it using the proper guidelines, I do believe some of the information I posted on the Parkinson's Disease page was appropriate. I have seen other disease-related entries that reference organizations that fund research and advocate on behalf of the condition. Also, the information about finding clinical trials seemed to fit, considering the previous sections on treatment and research directions. Perhaps creating new sections the way I did was not the way to go. Do you have any suggestions for how some of this information could be included in a way that's appropriate?
Thanks.

And thank you very much for trying! In fact, efforts of that kind are exactly what we've had to go by, since none of us are able to view the full text. That one is particularly frustrating. :/ Usually, what I've done in working that clean up is just verify that there are enough such fragments to leave no doubt that substantial text is duplicated. (See my notes at Talk:Battle_of_Glentaisie for example). When I've done that, I've blanked the article with the ((copyvio)) in this way to give contributors a chance to rewrite. If they do, great. If not, well, the admins who close CP listings (of which I am one) have typically had to do it. :)

Dear Maralia, I do not know how you can write off the bird as trivia when it has its own wikipage. Both the page and the sources (if you follow them) mention Zelda whom you call only "Fizgerald" (in the notes to your edit).
Perhaps I agree that the bird does not belong in legacy and should be placed in a new category of pop culture.
Think of how many tourists who come to NYC and pass Battery Park and are told the story of Zelda Fitzgerald in tandem with the mention of this bird. This is part of how knowledge grows through instances where correlations are made--- a wild turkey winds up lost in this park like Zelda once did or like wikipedians wind up at wikipedia and sometimes we go and sometimes we never leave. Masterknighted (talk) 07:25, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Should the decision have flown the other way; why then there may have been something fowl in the state of wiki- And You have certainly gone cold turkey on Zelda! Seems to me you forget the play is the thing discussion and learning should be lively and creative. You are more fixated on the prominence of articles in the roster of this, that, and the other thing in hierchical reference to each other than you are to the broad outlay of existance's rich tapestry.Masterknighted (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I have recently expanded this former stub, and it's now at Peer Review. Knowing that you have an interest in ships, shipwrecks and all related matters, I wondered if you'd like to have a look?

Brianboulton (talk) 22:13, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
The reason I added it as a FA is because it is a good article and has well descripted infromation, that makes it enough to become one. That's why I added in the first place back on November 12, also it was an important part of U.S. history, hope you realize that. Talladega87 (talk) 18:46, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
I clearly understand, but articles like The Notorious B.I.G. has semi-minimal, compare to Tom Pryce.

LiteratureGeek has put a lot of effort in recently, Arcadian also and not forgetting to mention numerous other editors inputs. I've been mostly moving sections around but whilst doing so, and with my mediocre language skills, have been fixing bits here and there.

I believe that the article on Robert Halpin needs to be corrected. He took the captaincy of the Great Eastern in 1869, after the Atlantic Cables were laid. Several articles on web sites around confirm that he went on to lay many cables internationally, which in itself is a great achievement. My interest in this is spurred by the fact that James Anderson is a distant relative, and it is a point of family pride that he captained the Great Eastern during the Atlantic cable-laying endeavours.
At the time the Atlantic cables were laid, James Anderson was the captain, and Halpin was his first officer. It is even reported that Halpin's navigational abilities were integral to the success of these ventures, particularly when, having laid the successful 1866 cable, they returned to the site where the 1865 attempt had been severed, and grappled it up to the surface, thus providing the second functioning link.
Regrettably, it seems that the external links on the Robert Halpin page seem to have expired, and the home site that they link to seems to have no content relating to him.

This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most.

You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!
This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |

The Spurgeon Series 1855 & 1856: Unabridged Sermons In Modern Language cites a userspace page you started, http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Maralia/SS_Arctic ,rather than the article space article on theSS Arctic. I discovered this when I was reviewing the deletion of the article on the SS Vesta.
Incidentally, I requested a deletion review on the SS Vesta.
I saw the ships userbox on your user page. Perhaps you have an opinion on how much weight should be given to the essay WP:Notability (vehicles) in discussions over deleting articles on ships?
The essay argues we should only have articles on exceptional individual "vehicles", and that, usually, anything meaningful should go in the article on the vehicle's class.
I can see some sense behind applying the advice in this essay to cars, trucks, bicycles, carts, trains -- even airplanes. But it seems to me bo be both contrary to our usual practice with ship, and contrary to what makes sense.
Fighter aircraft and airliners can be as expensive as ships, or even more expensive. But they are also more standardized than ships, and they undertake different kinds of missions. Fighters almost always fly in squadrons with identical fighters. Airliners share routes with identical airliners. Whereas naval vessels, coast guard vessels, fishery and environmental patrol vessels, tramp freighters, and many other kinds of ships normally proceed alone, on open ended voyages, that may not be repeated.
Do you think it would make sense to change that essay so it explicitly excludes ships from its advice?
