You start pulling hair right out of your head. I have only a few hairs left.--Doug Coldwell talk 23:42, 5 November 2011 (UTC) Since you're now canvassing the corners of ancient philosophical movements for your otium article, your last comment compels me to recommend that you read this. The Cardiff Chestnut (talk) 00:59, 6 November 2011 (UTC) Cute.--Doug Coldwell talk 12:02, 6 November 2011 (UTC) The above ideas come from what I see as the Law of Life. A sub-category is the Law of Attraction. Another is common sense. And still another is reasoning and another is logic (excuse the psychology).--Doug Coldwell talk 11:35, 8 November 2011 (UTC) Couple more ideas If you get stumped on being able to develop out an artice, seek the services of Ask A Librarian. One in particular that gives some excellent answers on queries is Internet Public Library. I found that the Library of Congress also has such a service and they also come up with excellent answers. Put in Google: "Ask a Librarian" for URLs. Don't forget when writing up an article make sure you have at least 3 categories for it. You can get an idea for categories from similar articles. Good luck on your new articles, that will of course be DYKs.--Doug Coldwell talk 13:43, 10 November 2011 (UTC) Thanks a bunch for the tips, Doug. Hopefully I'll actually finish an article sometime soon. The Cardiff Chestnut (talk) 15:26, 10 November 2011 (UTC) FYI, you can see the activity and "hits" of your article under "History" and then "Page view statistics". Otium is receiving about 300 "hits" per day and I suspect will jump 10 times that on the day of the DYK (about a week from now).--Doug Coldwell talk 18:00, 10 November 2011 (UTC) Tidbits: You probably already know that "What links here" shows what articles link to your article. You should have at least 3, as less than that they consider an "orphan" article and it could be deleted. Only real articles count, not Talk pages, etc. See Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 85, Papyrus 50, and Otium. Add a picture (or group of pictures) to an article, as that enhances it quite a bit. For examples see these articles I created: Michigan logging wheels Westinghouse Time Capsules The Teenie Weenies Nebraska House Lithophane Burr Caswell Sachet (scented bag) Blue Ridge Parkway tunnels Factorum ac dictorum memorabilium libri IX Georgia Cayvan Keedoozle Bellifortis Cone Mills Corporation Pickle Barrel House Columbus Letter on the First Voyage Thaddeus Fairbanks Whitcomb L. Judson Walter Scott Lenox Car cooler Flash-lamp Giovanni Caselli English words first attested in Chaucer The Whole Shebang: A State-of-the-Universe(s) Report Warren Antoine Cartier Antoine Ephrem Cartier Star Watch Case Company SweeTango (apple) Century tower clocks Good Luck on your new articles.--Doug Coldwell talk 14:09, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Thanks for the tips and links, Doug. Amadscientist listed Otium as the Classics Project's current collaboration, so it should probably start getting more views from Latinists. — the cardiff chestnut | talk — 17:28, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Great! This would be the Law of Attraction in action.--Doug Coldwell talk 19:04, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Another little tidbit: IF you happen to expand an article and you want it to become a DYK, it must be 5 times larger within 5 days from when you started increasing its size to be able to qualify. Use this tool to measure before and after character count. This is a good tool also to count hook line characters, as that must be under 200 (with multiple article hooks an exception).--Doug Coldwell talk 15:35, 17 November 2011 (UTC) Thanks, Doug. Good to know. — the cardiff chestnut | talk — 22:10, 17 November 2011 (UTC) Tidbits for a DYK Usually doing items in 3s gives you a real good chance of getting a DYK. Looking at my latest article of Red Cross stove you will notice that it has 3000 characters. Only 1500 is needed, however IF someone objects to a sentence or even a paragraph and you have to remove, you STILL have plenty to qualify for a DYK. There are 3 other articles that link to this article (See "What links here" on left panel). This way it is NOT classified as an orphaned article. It has 3 Categories - then it has plenty without any objections. It has 3 reference sources - which is good for a starter article. These items are good to know because when you do DYKs you will get the first 5 "free", then you will have to review others' DYKs before yours is approved. You have to be pretty familiar with the qualifications of DYKs to be able to approve another's DYK. Hope to see a list of your DYKs soon.--Doug Coldwell talk 21:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

add my last DYK of Mutiny at Sucro. I'll have to do that after Otium becomes a DYK, to make a total of 210.--Doug Coldwell talk 13:06, 5 November 2011 (UTC) Rad. I'm working on a new article now, but I doubt it'll be my first DYK. The Cardiff Chestnut (talk) 21:26, 5 November 2011 (UTC) This is where the Law of Attraction comes into play. Think positively, like the new article you have will be your first DYK. Thinking this way sets up positive "vibrations" and events occur in such a manner that the new article becomes a Did You Know. Do you think that each time I wrote up an article I had the attitude that it probably would not become a DYK. No - I thought it will become a DYK and practically every time it did become a Did You Know. Change your attitude - think positively and constructively. Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve (Napoleon Hill). Be optimistic. All it takes is 1500 characters - a small article. Make sure its well referenced and you have a good "catchy" hook line. Also make sure the hook line has an excellent inline reference. I go out of my way to make sure they find this and even go to the point of placing the exact words right into that particular inline reference, word for word, with its exact location (usually Google Books) so they can easily find it. Its very important that they find the reference that covers your hook line. If possible, give an ALT1 and ALT2, then this way the chances of it becoming a DYK is very good. I would work the draft offline first as all you have is 5 days to develop the article - offline has no limit. Nice little hint.--Doug Coldwell talk 23:27, 5 November 2011 (UTC) Thanks for the tips. Right now I'm mostly expanding existing articles, but maybe on of the entries I have planned will have something of a hook. The Cardiff Chestnut (talk) 14:56, 7 November 2011 (UTC) Your welcome. Let me reword your reply a bit to show optimism: One of the entries I have planned will have something of a hook. - see, positive. Hint: Take a stab at it and submit a hook no matter what! I have found if you make an "attempt", there are experts at DYK that will come across your "attempt" and fix it for you or give you an alternative. Happens to me all the time. I would say that I have somehow managed to get a hook line using this method 99 and 44/100's per cent of the time. I have never not had a DYK not go through, if I made an "attempt". In other words: the odds are in your favor.--Doug Coldwell talk 22:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC) Hint: Make sure your new article links from at least 3 other articles.--Doug Coldwell talk 13:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC) Another Hint: If you want to get many people viewing your article - make sure it becomes a DYK. Here are some articles I created that received some large numbers on the day they became a Did You Know Pelican Pete Spragg Bag Nonsuch House Conclusion of the American Civil War (Good Article) Cone Sisters Jayco The Whole Shebang Motocycle Gottfried Schloemer Benson raft

will move the photo to commons for me (if they want and the image meets certain guidelines See Knowledge:Moving files to the Commons). The choice is yours but commons and wikipedia itself have different image procedures, I would recommend uploading first on english wiki then transfering (if you want) to commons. Before doing anything though, familize yourself with Knowledge:Image use policy(with close attention to Knowledge:Image_use_policy#Privacy_rights) and Commons:Photographs of identifiable people. This is a lengthy read but it will describe what types of photos can and shouldnt be used. I dont think theres many issues with the photos you plan to take though (but they will likely need more info on the privacy issue depending on the type of photo you take). Images are not my strong area as I typically avoid taking pictures of living people, but mostly focus on buildings. But this information should be enough to get you moving in the right direction. When you think your ready take a look at Knowledge:Uploading images and thenproceed to upload at Special:Upload. Alot to take in....

10672:, both of which (particularly the latter) drastically change the very nature of both articles. When asked why, the user insisted that her (?) way was "superior" and that she would allow for no discussion on this point from anyone. As another editor of the page, I'm turning to you and a few others to ask assistance in trying to reign in actions that frankly border on vandalism. While some of her changes are more than welcome (additions of photos of Union officers, for example), the wholesale elimination of notations that were being worked on and the changes is format, to say nothing of refusing to discuss it with anyone else - either before or after - are, in my opinion, invasive. May I ask for you to take a look and give your opinion on the matter? 4560: 3565:

of people or more might be interested in the thing in 1-2 years. You might call it something like an emerging topic, though it is hardly a large topic in mathematics. I certainly wouldn't want outside readers to be mislead about the importance of the subject, and I would be happy to add some kind of statement to the effect that this isn't such a big deal in the scheme of mathematics. To tell the truth, my colleagues and I just wanted to have an accurate little article about the thing that would help interested people get the basic facts quickly. (Even as a supposed expert, I usually use wikipedia to look math stuff up these days!) I wonder if perhaps I should migrate the article to

that the experts should rule. Obviously, I was wrong on some of the edits (or so it now appears). But I may have been right on others. Of course, even 'a stopped analog clock is right twice a day'. I appreciate your deciding that some of them might be justified. I was working from the connections in the article (and from some of the material in the references themselves (which did mention some concepts that were not in the Knowledge article). I am very sensitive to the implicit accusation that I was "spamming." It is a word that is 'akin to fightin' words', and I would not use it cavalierly. I will assume that we have just had a failure to communicate, will

the activist wing, while Murphy tended to support the side constructionist side). Vinson was replaced by Warren next, which moved a second seat to the activist bloc, giving them the majority, and putting Minton in the minority. So from 1949-1953 Minton was largely in the majority. And from 1953-1957 was largely in the minority. (Minton in turn was replaced by Brennan who was also activist, giving them a larger majority). So court certainly made its shift during Minton's tenure, which should be the point in the article. I think that might be a little confused within the article. Either way, need to look up the sources first to fix it, to be sure. :) —

from the sources do you actually believe what the hook says? 4) policy considerations - no BLP problems, no verifiability problems, and a hard one - no plagiarism problems including close parallelism. How to check for copyright problems? - check the sources, maybe search for a strange phrase, use your judgement. Then put in the template you created for your hook "Reviewed:XYZ Darning Needles" or similar. Just being tough on you today - but it will help the guy whose hook you review, and will also help you next time you submit a DYK.

editors he views as interested in one subject by private message. The selected private recruitment of uninvolved editors based upon their interest in one side of a dispute most certainly does amount to canvassing. I have tried to avoid reporting this user for weeks now, while he has unsuccessfully filed RfC's and ANI's and remained a minority of one. The only person standing in the way of his contributing the relevant material under its own article is him. Be assured that I have no problem with your comments on the article.

instance Queens university in Canada uses this theme quite a bit with there throwback sports uniforms (from the late 1800s) and current school clothing lines. But the fundamental trend in canada at least ive noticed (needing sources though of course) was that in the late 1800s and early 1900s sporting teams used the barber pole style of uniform. Anyway just a few ideas for expansions, but an explanation as to why they used the pattern if you could find a source would be a fanatstic addition to the article. Cheers.

It sounds mildly interesting; I am frustrated by the amount of U.S. newspaper archival material that is stuck behind paywalls, and HighBeam apparently has access to a fair amount of it. At any rate I thought you should learn about this offer. 12294: 12258: 11277: 10770: 8868: 8846: 8607: 8585: 8563: 4056: 3976: 3836: 1965: 1766:

research showed that this was not the case: he made the best of a bad situation caused by fog suddenly rolling in, while the local pilot was in charge, and a board fully exonerated him for swift actions to save the crew and much of the contents on the ship. It seemed like a noncontroversial editorial change,to make it the passive voice, but I added the note in case I was later challenged on it, just to remind me of a source.

redundant. If the newspaper name has the location in its title, then duplicating the location isn't needed. If we're using a source from the flagship newspaper of a publisher of the same name, then including the publisher isn't needed either. (That assumes of course that the publisher is readily known.) I do a little digging through "About us" or "Contact us" pages on websites to fill in the information. I somewhat regularly take articles to

I have had several disputes over precedence being given to US versions of particular breeds, which, as in the case of the Akita, may differ considerably from those bred in the country of origin. The US version is almost always "bigger" or "cuter" or more brightly coloured than that at the source of origin. 550:

8918: 11324: 7365: 1723: 6416: 10853:, we really need the specific page number(s) from that book to back the information being cited. (Since you have press sources that page this claim, you can drop the book completely as a reference and put it in a "Further reading" section since the book is a primary source on its content, and you have some perfectly good secondary sources on his connection to the book.) 9356:

on it working on redirects for the awards and the three organizations. There were mentions in a number of articles, and I see that a Bot has been busy overnight tidying up double redirects. The Composers' Guild of Great Britain (CGGB), in particular, provides a number of links. I just didn't see a lot of information available right off. It would take a bit of research.

bothered looking up math stuff on wikipedia even 5 years ago, but now (as I said above) I do it all the time. As more mathematicians turn to it, you might see an increase in articles on fairly obscure technical topics like the pentagram map. As the more esoteric branches of knowledge are written about on wikipedia, I wonder if the notion of "obscurity" will change.

I'll attribute it to your having a bad day, or just to an unfortunate choice of words that you didn't spot until you'd hit the "Save" button.

replaced Justice Rutledge and Justice Murphy, both of whom had died that year. In that light, I don't see how Minton could have found himself more in the minority after Justice Murphy died, since that had already happened when Minton joined the Court; nor was Murphy's successor appointed by Truman. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Regards,

enjoy going to user pages where the editor has chosen a couple of dozen of those things (I'm sure that there is a term for them) and reading over them and thinking, 'Yes, I'd like this person." or "No, I don't think so." but decided not to do it. I noticed that the editor was blocked and thanks for your part in that.

Can you too please try to assume good faith? 2900:

but actual numbers of registrations might be a more useful way of thinking about this. The numbers of dogs, I would guess, drop off sharply after the first 25 breeds.

Feel free to expand the article.

Working on Knowledge can get a bit thorny sometimes. I think one reason is that it's very easy to come across as rude when the only form of communication is raw text with a distant stranger. Another is that people are often hyper-sensitive to plagiarism, which is somewhat understandable when hundreds

Unfortunately I've returned most of my reference material to the library long ago. If memory serves me though, Minton took Rutledge's seat when Rutledge died.

Hi. I haven't reverted or rewritten as yet, and I don't have the books that are cited in front of me ... but I'm afraid the material you just restored in the Minton article doesn't make sense chronologically.

Some suggestions for the future, if you will. It looks bad to have more than two footnotes at the end of a sentence.

Hi 7&6=thirteen, thanks for your (repeated) kind and encouraging words. They have sweetened this whole experience quite a bit, and I am really quite happy that you appreciate my efforts. (I'm sure that these efforts are tiny in comparison to your own.) In response to several issues you raise:

Anndrelion, I would confess that I don't know where the cutoff from 'rare' to 'common' is. I don't actually see a lot of Berners, but that is completely anecdotal, idiosyncratic and may be due to where I happen to be. I don't have a strong position on this. I would think that ranking is one tool,
