If you find that the actual license is different from the one that's on the page, I don't get why you can't just change it? I added 3.0 license when it should have been 2.0 license; I've fixed it now, but again, I don't see why the whole tagging process has to be done when it can be easily fixed and you already spent the time to check the license.

Facebook PR

Hi Gary. I've been following the PR, and the progress you've been making, and I'm impressed with how speedily they've been addressed. I'm surprised no one else has commented, but for such a controversial topic, I'd press for at least 3 reviews before GAN/FAC. You might want to ask someone from the volunteers list here or here. PeterSymonds | talk 18:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest buildings in Toronto FLC

Hmm, the 9th was the last time that user edited. Can you confirm to the best of your knowledge that you've addressed those concerns? They were mainly about style guidelines, but s/he also mentioned "substance", which was a bit vague! If the style guidelines conform, I think you should add a comment under the oppose and explain that the objections have been addressed, while also explaining that the opposer hasn't been active in the last few days. It might help if an uninvolved editor, preferably from WP:Skyscrapers, added a comment confirming that the list conforms to style guidelines (Raime (talk · contribs) seems like the best bet). That'll probably be sufficient for the oppose to be disregarded as acted upon. PeterSymonds | talk 22:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've just seen that Raime's already supported the article. If the founder of WP:Skyscrapers is happy with it, then that should be enough hopefully. Perhaps ask him/her to confirm anyway, to be on the safe side. :) PeterSymonds | talk 22:42, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note that just to be politically correct when you ask people to comment on featured article/list nominations, ask them to "comment," not to "support." The former is fine and neutral, the latter is canvassing. Thanks, Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 00:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I closed a few FLCs a couple hours ago, but there was a new comment on that one, so I decided to leave it open so you would see it. I'll close it tomorrow. As well, you should be aware that there is a discussion that mentions you here. -- Scorpion0422 00:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I wasn't aware. Seems to be okay now. The main issue is the wording I use when I ask others to take a look at my nominations; I shouldn't use 'support or oppose' but rather ask for 'comments'. I'll be changing that from now on. Gary King (talk) 00:39, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns

You may want to address the concerns here. There is a fairly defined line between canvassing and asking for a comment. Just address their concerns, and per above, try to be politically correct in the future when asking for comments. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 07:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PHP

From: I removed the example code because this is supposed to be as encyclopedic as possible.

If you're going to remove a significant portion of an article then MAKE BETTER USE OF YOUR EDIT SUMMARY. You will also notice that Python syntax and semantics exists which makes it not a loss of information and I note that you didn't make PHP syntax and semantics and so you've removed the information that really separates one language from another: its syntax.

The way you've rationalized removing code examples is on par with saying Spanish language can't have any Spanish words or phrases in it at all. If you have to cut any and all code examples to make PHP a featured article then it shouldn't be done because it doesn't better this encyclopedia. Cburnett (talk) 18:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a look, and the lead is fine: not too technical, while providing a good summary. It's an excellent article, and technical articles are, as you say, the most difficult to write, because of the balance between enough technical info and too much technical info! You've done a great job though, and once the copyediting's done, GA shouldn't be a problem. PeterSymonds | talk 21:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've taken the liberty of adding your latest request on the talk page to the PR, for the benefit of reviewers, in case they don't check the talk page. PeterSymonds | talk 21:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've had a look at this article also. I agree with Peter, it's really good for a technical article. It's a very notable subject, well sourced, pleasingly readable given inevitable technicalities, wonderful non technical, historical information there as well.
Although the code sample issue didn't strike me, on principle, I'd tend to be in favour of sample code. Helps even a casual reader visualise what the article is about. Most readers visiting the article would probably be technical enough not to be put off by a bit of code. However, I can completely understand the need to keep an eye on these kind of articles and watch that coding and jargon don't restrict them only to specialists in their field.
I have a maths background, but even so, some maths articles move too fast with stuff I'm rusty about. Mind you, I'd argue computer code is way more user friendly than foreign languages or mathematical and scientific symbols.
I had a look at FaceBook too btw. Hope my belated comments work with the community towards progress, rather than throw dust in the air. Thanks for all the work I see you doing Gary! Alastair Haines (talk) 06:58, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

As I've said, I have nothing against you, or the lists you've nominated, so I hope we can continue to work on Wikipedia without this affecting anything. And I will still continue to support your noms, assuming they meet the criteria that is, and I don't see why they wouldn't as your previous ones all have. So again, I apologise if you felt picked on or anything. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 20:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Call of Duty 4

  • Merge the "overview", "single player", and "multiplayer" sections into a single "gameplay" section. Talk about the game and its general aspects (first-person shooter, objective, etc.) and then have level three sections for the single player and the multiplayer aspects. Condense the multiplayer section drastically. No need to list modes (comment on a few as examples); basically, your job is to show how the multiplayer works and how it fits into the normal gameplay. Basically, summarize the individual sections, keep it coherent, and cut the extra section headings.
  • Move the characters and story section into a "plot" section that covers both characters and the story. Try to keep the story as concise as possible - level four section headings to divide sections of the story are largely unnecessary. Just start a new paragraph. For the characters, describe them succinctly using prose. As for the in-universe referencing, you don't have to - I actually found it easier to cite using that style of referencing. You're free to use third party references or really, anything reliable and verifiable for them.
  • Turn the "marketing" section into a "development" section covering the game and expand more on the development of the game. Include the "game engine" section as a third level heading of the development section. Also, cut out all the headings when you merge the "marketing" section. Move the "music and soundtrack" section above the "reception" section and change it to "audio".
  • For the "reception" section, you want to cover how reception treats the different aspects of the game (gameplay - make sure you have comments on both single player, multiplayer, and the gameplay in general -, plot, graphics, game engine, audio, etc.). Listing the scores in the prose is largely redundant due to the table. I'm iffy about listing out all those awards as prose - a table/box/something else may be more appropriate, or incorporate it into the main body of the reception.

Do the above, get a good copy-editor, and you should be good. Cheers, Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 05:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I already did so in the most recent archive, by outlining the consensus' of the page's editors. Specifically there is continuous insertion of speculation as to the fates of the characters who were involved in the nuclear attack, and involved in the attack on the bridge, and speculation as to the location and identities of the epilogue level. There are vandalisms involving fan site linkspam, adjusting reviews, etc. I'm keeping an eye out for it. SWATJester Son of the Defender 17:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, good work. Add a single player section into the "gameplay" section. In the "reception" section cut out all mention of scores since you already have it in the review column. Work towards providing the praise/criticism/etc. of the gameplay, graphics, etc. (quotes are encouraged) - see Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow#Reception or Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow#Reception for how I did that. The story section could be reduced a bit also. As for your comment on different FAs, that's generally true. With these kind of articles you're gathering content and slapping in on a page and cleaning up, not constantly updating. As for where to find the in-game script, GameFAQs tends to have people post things like that. Otherwise, find some blog or fansite that does it or worst comes to worst, transcribe it from the game itself. Remember you can always condense the plot heavily and use third party sources for sourcing if necessary. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 18:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My bad for the slow response. Your message got caught in a wave of others. In any case, upon perusal of the article, you really don't need a single player section. Just give a sentence mentioning that the mode exists and what it is (follows storyline of so and so characters, etc.). Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 07:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism of my userpage

Regarding Call of Duty 4

Thanks for the offer. I pretty much stopped edits on that article after a group of editors made significant changes to the layout a month or two ago, and I was one of the few who supported the previous version. If there's anything significant you need help on let me know, but otherwise I'm spending most of my time on other articles and schoolwork (trying for a scholarship this year).

P.S.- After a cursory glance at the revamped article, I just want to know if the plot section is still a work in progress. We may have to scale it back a bit, and I wouldn't oppose removing the character sections altogether (they have been the source of much of the disagreements over minor details in the past, and quite frankly I fail to see why they need to be included in the article at all if there is a separate character list on Call of Duty (series)).

Re:FT

I think it's difficult to define a FT in such a manner. If you were to define the topical scope as "lists of billionaires," then the point is going to be raised as to where are the previous lists. Since Forbes has decades of lists, the topic won't be comprehensive. However, if you had 40-50 FLs, the topic would be too big. You need to narrow the topical scope to something manageable. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 22:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That leads to a cherry picking problem of only selecting a few articles in order to get a topic. You also have a problem in that List of billionaires isn't a good main article to define such a topic. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 22:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The cherry picking problem still exists. Take it this way, can lists be created going back a couple decades? If so, the topic is cherry picking.

I disagree that Image:PHP Hello World screenshot.png is a copyrighted image. It is well established that rendered fonts are not copyrightable (it's the generator that is) and basic coloring can't be copyrighted either. So a screenshot of just text can't be copyrighted.

That said, I don't understand why raw <source>...</source> isn't sufficient. Cburnett (talk) 04:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Call of Duty 4 - War Pig.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Call of Duty 4 - War Pig.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
