Hi there and thanks for your helpful comment re the above. Could you be a little more specific on a couple of things;

"The tables do not meet WP:ACCESS, see also WP:DTT."

• Which parts of the tables need attention? It's our first FLC so we are not fluent in the criteria or table formatting.

"The other is that this article lists his songs"

• Could we rename the article so it doesn't specify a discography and instead call it The music of Dan Leno or The songs of Dan Leno and retain the one article?

Any clarification would be great! -- Cassianto^Talk 19:43, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi GOP, I've still to make some minor changes and additions to this article, but I think it's close enough for a GAN if you'd like to put it in the queue. Cheers, Sasata (talk) 16:31, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working. We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's igordebraga (submissions), who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's Grapple X (submissions), whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's Muboshgu (submissions), with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.

A quick note about other competitions taking place on Wikipedia which may be of interest. There are 13 days remaining in the June-July GAN backlog elimination drive, but it is not too late to take part. August will also see the return of The Core Contest- a one month long competition first run in 2007. While the WikiCup awards points for audited content on any subject, The Core Contest about is raw article improvement, focussing heavily on the most important articles on Wikipedia. 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!

Hi GOP, couple of questions at the nom page before I can pass it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Why did you remove the photo of the Otis Redding statue if you think it should not be deleted? Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 17:10, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Because it looks messy in that section. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 17:12, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

But that section is the one that has some text about the statue. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 17:48, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Since it is in the same section, "Style", I don't see the reason to move it to the bottom. Also it is distracting as it moves the discography section to the left. Overall, I hate this NFCC policy. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 17:56, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

It was in the Legacy section, which mentions the statue. Now it is an orphan, which probably makes it more likely to be deleted. Bubba73 <'who killed buddy blue?' clip 1 (rapidshare).avi>You talkin' to me? 19:05, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

I reverted this edit. Hopefully this great photo won't be deleted... Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 20:42, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

In re the inflation template, I'll answer here, & you can move it wherever you want. (Just leave off the first line. And change the timestamp? :D )

♠I deleted the inflation template not because I find it inaccurate, but because I find it useless. Simple dollar value conversions don't account for changes in buying power or product quality, & as a result are very uninformative. IMO, a better standard is to use equivalents: say, a day's wages, or the price of a comparable item (for the T, a Curved-Dash or Gale A). Or how long it would take to afford it (the T, paid for with about 2mo pay; a Buick Park Avenue?). So $6 in 1960 might buy what $50 does today, but what it buys often couldn't be had for five times that in 1960, even if you could have bought it at all. Comparing against comparable items (as far as possible) eliminates that problem, without leaving what is, IMO, a very faulty impression.

Hi, please don't remove legitimate tags from the article about Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. You are clearly an experienced Wikipedian, so you should recognise that the article needs significant work to meet Wikipedia standards. Articles about other equal or more notable tennis players do not have a biasedly written, game by game account of their entire professional career and it is that that is spam, not my tags!

Hi GOP, I'm not sure if you are only interested in GAs for Russian lit figures but John Ruskin has had quite a bit of work done on it over the past year and may not be far off. It needs polishing and standardising but some leading Ruskin academics added a high level of detail and referencing. Just a thought. Best wishes Span (talk) 14:14, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

On a first glance it is close GA-status. Now as the sun is shining more regularly here in Germany, and not like in the past days (one day rainy and the other sunny) :), I am not sure if I can do a full review. It looks quite interesting. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 14:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

You have removed the "orphan" tag from the file a couple of times. The file is currently an orphan because it isn't used in any article. Each day or so, a bot goes through and adds that to orphaned files. So it doesn't do any good to delete the tag from the file - the bot will add it back if it is still an orphan. It is better to put the photo back in the article. The last person that took it out said that it is likely to be deleted. But I don't think so - the OTRS procedure is in the works. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 20:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I saw that you undid my previous edit in the Mosow-article. You state that both Moscow and Istanbul stand 'side by side' in terms of popualtion. However, if I look at wiki's own article about population in the city proper, than Istanbul clearly is larger (dude, a difference of some two/2 million (!) people, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_proper_by_population). I don't want to pick a fight, I just want facts being represented as such, without embellishing of any sort. If you have any source that states otherwise, than you are more than welcome to change the numbers in the concerning articles, of course! :)

Best regards

「Robster1983」^{☞ Life's short, talk fast ☜} 00:52, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

As already explained, a large part of Istanbul is in Asia (east of the Bosporus strait), so it can not be fully European. Most of Russia is in Asia, but it is still categorized as a European country. The same situation with Istanbul. The Bosporus strait is a natural border, just as the Ural Mountains. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 08:29, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't understand your edit. If "discographies are always lists", shouldn't it remain as List-class? Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 23:59, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

No. As I wrote, discographies are always lists, which means that it is redundant to label it as a list class. Instead, you should assess it as a Stub, Start, C, B or FL class. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 10:48, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

OK, but there are at least two people who disagree with you, so it would be good if you could add your voice at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Discographies#Classification_and_categorization. There was no opposition voiced before now, but then again a lot of people probably don't check project talk pages all that often. I think it would be good to establish some kind of consensus so that our edits don't inadvertently cancel each other out. Until then I won't re-assess any discographies. --Jameboy (talk) 22:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

No, it is correct as is. All discographies are lists, but we need to assess for the quality (Stub, Start, C, B, FL); List class is meaningless. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 09:39, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

If "we" need to do this, as opposed to just you, then where is this written? I can't find any assessment guidelines within the wikiproject, so I refer back to WP:ASSESS, which suggests that List-class is correct. There are many discographies that have been assessed as lists and many that haven't. To make the assessment numbers more accurate, I want to establish which is the correct way, then help out with the actual assessments. I want to have some degree of confidence in what I am doing however, so I don't want to proceed based on just one person's say so, even if that person is a long-standing, productive and capable editor such as yourself. If you are sure that what you say is correct, could you perhaps add assessment guidelines somewhere within WP:DISCOG, so that it is clear to everybody that List-class is not to be used for this wikiproject? I think that would be a step forward. Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 11:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for Supporting the Wikiproject Blues. Pouyakhani (talk) 19:30, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I think the article could use a bit more work before submitting it. It needs more citations in some sections and more information on the songs and reception. I'm sure it's something we could expand. Andrzejbanas (talk) 11:26, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

No, they don't, for the reasons I have outlined. A separate, specific rationale is required for each usage. Copying and pasting rationales doesn't help anyone. J Milburn (talk) 15:24, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm not going to clean up your mess, that's not why I'm here. If you're going to use non-free content, use it properly. If you refuse to do so, you will be blocked. This isn't difficult, I've no idea why you want to make it difficult. J Milburn (talk) 15:26, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Mess? You are doing this nonsense removal of significant information. Stop doing this, thanks.--GoP_T^C_N 15:29, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

You have already asked me to fix your problems. I have no interest in doing this. Again, use non-free content correctly, or don't use it at all. J Milburn (talk) 15:33, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

If you believe that no album cover is significant, why are you fighting to try and keep it? There is no automatic entitlement to use non-free content. It is generally held that a single album cover is a useful addition to an article on an album, but this does not extend to as many album covers as you are able to find. If multiple album covers themselves are significant (which, you have already said, you do not believe is the case) then they may be justified; an archetypal example of this would be Virgin Killer, where, clearly, both covers are significant. J Milburn (talk) 15:33, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Don't think the original is significant, as most countries censored the pervert one.--GoP_T^C_N 15:46, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Right now I have a couple of sandboxes I'm working on, and awaiting GAN for another article. I'd recommend distributing the information in the recording section a bit differently, sort of like the article body shown in Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style guide: take the prose about songs' music/lyrics and place them in a "composition" or "content" section, particularly the quoted material like "mournfully hurried" and "unable to escape..." (for anything quoted, the sentence should say who [writer/author] said or described it that way). The quotes can be reworded to avoid excessive quotations; I often use thesaurus.com for less common words in quotes I want to paraphrase. How the songs were recorded or written can be in a separate section. For example, the sentences about "Respect", starting with "Essentially a ballad, it was written by Redding for Speedo Sims...." can be broken into pieces for separate sections: "Respect is a ballad. It was later covered by Aretha..." can be in a section discussing the album's musical/lyrical information, while "it was written by Redding..." can be kept in the section about the album's creation.

There seems to be enough information, but it needs to be structured differently. If you still want more sources, I usually use GoogleBooks and Google's archive search setting for older albums. Dan56 (talk) 17:55, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your last link; with your help I found many useful information. I will split the section for clarity. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 20:09, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

I made a couple of contributions to the article, an image and prose about the commercial performance. I also found this source by Martin C. Strong that can be used to expand the release section, with release dates/formats of the album and singles. I noticed that both Allmusic and Strong's discography note the release year as 1966. Also, I was thinking of adding a music sample to the content section for illustration. Do you have a particular song in mind? Dan56 (talk) 18:58, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks! :) I think there should be more about the lyrics of the other songs, and differences between the originals and covers would be also nice. Maybe some information about the recording. Other than that, I think it is ok for GAN. It was definitely first released in 1965. See also [1], which also states September 15, 1965. Allmusic now updated some of its content, including several release dates; initially it had also stated September 15, 1965 before the update. The first was released on Volt, and one year later on Atlantic (the original is more bluish than the latter releases). I may upload a song, yes, maybe Respect or Satisfaction. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 20:28, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

GOP, if you expanded the section that talks about what happened to Central Park after, and especially if you can find a quote tying the concert directly to the renewal of Central Park, I think you'd justify the length of the background section and it would pass GA.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:06, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

I've given this page a thorough copy edit. There were a couple of concerns that I had, which I could not fix as I did not have access to the reference. These are noted on the article's talk page.

	Thank you for creating and expanding articles to quality, on topics as diverse as a cathedral and an athlet, in addition to your series of fungi and some of the greatest Russians, - you are an awesome Wikipedian! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:43, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! =) Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 08:54, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi there! I just wanted to leave a quick "thank you" for taking on this review and helping to get the article to ga status! Janfrie1988 (talk) 23:44, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

After looking over your initial comments, I see there is alot to be done with this article. Could possibly quickfail it, as it is not ready for GAN. I will still work on it, but the quality is not GA, yet. Much appreciated, 72.184.164.159 (talk) 20:45, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi GreatOrangePumpkin. I was really impressed with the suggestions and requirements you supplied in your GA review for George Harrison's Dark Horse album a while back. (The article was nominated by Yeepsi, although I think it's fair to say I did the majority of the work on the piece, since 2 February; I was just too much of a newbie-chicken to embrace the nomination process!) Anyway, there are a few other Harrison articles I've added to and rewritten that Yeepsi and I have talked about putting forward for GA review, and I'd really like it if you could be the one to review one (if not all) of them. Starting with Living in the Material World, which in fact was assessed at the same time as you did your review. That nomination was unsuccessful, as quite frankly I thought the reviewer (Rp0211) was asking for a lot of unnecessary changes, particularly to do with editorial style, that were not requirements of either the MoS or the WikiAlbums style guide. I don't want to go into detail, and I mean no disrespect to Rp0211 − there were just a few too many items in the review that bordered on the pedantic, so it was great to see you'd adopted an approach that was sympathetic with the work already done on the Dark Horse article. That's not to say that Rp0211 didn't pick up a lot of valid points, of course, which were much appreciated, and they have now been fixed up. I'm about to renominate LITMW now − can I ask, would you be able to/interested in reviewing the article? (Extra Texture is another one of the Harrison articles I mentioned, by the way, and it's recently been nominated by Yeepsi; The Concert for Bangladesh is another − I've almost finished working on that one and hope to nominate it soon.) Let us know what you think; quite understand if you'd rather not. Cheers, JG66 (talk) 12:49, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, will look. Regards.--GoP_T^C_N 13:32, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi GoP. Thank you for taking the time to review Living in the Material World (and for the Extra Texture GA − that made my day!). I've replied to your comments and/or made changes to the article. Regards, JG66 (talk) 16:44, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi again GoP. I've just nominated The Concert for Bangladesh album, in case you happened to be up for more ...? Cheers, JG66 (talk) 06:43, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! I thought I did a good job on the article, but I was not expecting having no corrections to make! I'm glad someone finally got around to reviewing it. Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 11:00, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi GoP. Thanks for your comments on the album article, I've left a reply on the talk page. Bit concerned, though: only "1 day" to fix the images issue, otherwise the article fails? Regards, JG66 (talk) 20:22, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, hope you can read my anwser on the Talk:All the Way... A Decade of Song/GA1 soon :) Max24 (talk) 11:00, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I would like to thank you for your work on this article ! I am currently working on the Egyptian pyramid project, which consists of expanding the wiki articles regarding the pyramids of the 5th and 6th dynasty. Indeed the English articles are either non-existent or fall short of their French or German counterparts in most cases (see my User page for a list). Thus I thank you for contributing (maybe unknowingly) to the Egyptian pyramid project !! Iry-Hor (talk) 16:51, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Regarding this change to Otis Blue, Bots usually go around removing any italics from citation templates, so it depends if you want to have say "Allmusic" end up being italicized by the template, or list it in the publisher field. Dan56 (talk) 20:17, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
