April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. 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. Hope we can see you in April.

An expert opinion is needed.

Can you give me two cents on this discussion here? I'm bit new on content issue like this. Jim101 (talk) 17:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Korean War

Ed, I hope you don't mind. You had many infelicitous verb conjugations, and unfortunate prose etc., in your article at FA. I've fixed a lot of them, and hope I haven't messed up the content. Please forgive me if I've tread on your toes. Auntieruth55 (talk) 00:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

William F. Dean and the Battle of Taejon

Hi Ed. Cheers for the explanation, makes sense. From reading the article IMO Dean's conduct was quite remarkable and worthy of the award he later received. Good work on a whole range of Korean War articles too BTW. Take it easy. ChoraPete (talk) 15:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA review for the Battle of Naktong Bulge

I wanted to let you know I passed the Battle of Naktong Bulge as GA. The only thing I could find that I think needs to be addressed is one disambiguous link that you can find in my review comments. Good job. --Kumioko (talk) 16:13, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice article on the Battle of Naktong Bulge. I made all uses of "U.S." consistent. In a number of places you had "US". Also expanded all "NK" to "North Korean". As a webmaster I was taught early on that while these shortcuts might save space on paper (and therefore money), we've no shortage of electrons which cost us nothing. I wish I had the time to write such an article, but I write mostly shorter articles on individuals that sometimes make it to B-class. The Korean War is fascinating and, as a former USMC officer, I enjoy reading about U.S. Marine actions in that war. Ever read "The Coldest Night"? Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 14:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have not. Do you think it would make a good source? —Ed!(talk) 17:12, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2 more GA's

I just promoted 2 more of your articles. The Battle of the Notch only had a disambiguous (DAB) link for 24th Division and Battle of Chochiwon has on DAB link for Chonan but other than that all is well. I left my comments on both of the articles. Good job. --Kumioko (talk) 19:01, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reviews! —Ed!(talk) 17:12, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Taejon

  • I've been sick the past couple days. I could putter around a bit with AWB or other things that didn't require concentration, but couldn't... concentrate. I still have an earache at the moment, but will try to look at it now.
  • The thing that concerns me is the example I posted earlier of statements that were not found in the sources. I'm hoping you didn't rush to write things without carefully researching them. • Ling.Nut 03:46, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Thank you for looking over the article again! —Ed!(talk) 18:10, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Military history A-Class medal

GAN backlog elimination drive - 1 week to go

First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far.

We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns.

See you at the finish!

Lee Kwon Mu

Just shifting through some Chinese records and found some pieces of information that may be interesting...

Lee Kwon Mu has a Chinese name called Li Quanwu (李权武), born in 1914 - since his brith place is unknown, it is disputed on whether he is a Korean or a Chinese of Korean descent. He joined the Chinese Communist guerrillas at the age of 17 after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. In 1936, he was sent to Moscow to study by the Chinese Communist, and returned to Yan'an in 1939, which was then the headquarters of the Chinese Communist Eighth Route Army. He served as a staff officer in the 718th Regiment of the Chinese 358 Brigade, 120th Division stationed in Central China, and a large number of Korean Communist were also recuited at Central China after the Japanese destroyed the Communist forces in Manchuria. He later served as an intelligence officer for the Chinese Korean Volunteer Army after the Korean Independence Alliance was formed by the Korean memebers of the Chinese Communist Party. Lee appears to have a rather rocky relationship with Korean Independence Alliance and did not serve any important positions within the organization despite his qualification. Anyway, as the Chinese story goes, soon after the Japanese surrenderred, he quickly returned to Korea because he believed he has no room for advancement in China, and rest of his story is with the KPA.

Thank you for your participation in the April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive

GAN backlog elimination drives chart up to 1 May

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.

  • 661 total nominations were reviewed. 541 of them passed (~81.8%), 97 (~14.7%) failed, and 23 (~3.5%) ended on hold.
  • The WP:GAN page started at 110,126 bytes length on 1 April and ended at 43,387 bytes length at the end of 30 April (a 66,739 byte reduction in the page, about 60.6% less).
  • Excluding extremes, the longest wait for someone's GAN to be review was about 11.5 weeks at the beginning. (I mistook the figure when I reported to the Signpost that it was 13.) At the end, with the exception of one that was relisted, the longest wait is now at 10 days.
  • 63 different users participated, each having completed at least one GAN, with others also having helped out behind-the-scenes in making the drive a success.
  • The drive started with 463 GA nominations remaining and 388 unreviewed. At the end of the month, we ended with 89 remaining (374 or about 80.8% less) and 47 unreviewed (341 or about 87.9% less).

For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:29, 15 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

Where did you get the Pike house picture from OU? ak169808 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ak169808 (talkcontribs) 02:56, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I took the photo myself. —Ed!(talk) 04:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm also an OU student. I think I took the photo about two years ago. I've done a lot of photos around the college and town. I still live in Athens and I've still been contributing photos. —Ed!(talk) 06:44, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright violations

Hi, Ed! We may have a problem with some articles which you created. I am currently investigating a Wikipedia copyright infringement report concerning text from the Globalsecurity.org website. I noticed you were quite prolific a few years back -- creating numerous articles about US military units and linking them to the globalsecurity.org. For example, 194th Engineer Brigade (United States) seems to be a direct copy from this page. Did you copy the text from Globalsecurity.org into the Wikipedia articles? If that is the case, than we will need to template all those articles so that you and others can edit/remove/clean-up any infringing text. I may be missing something here, so I am hoping you can help clarify this first. CactusWriter (talk) 18:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, unfortunately a few years ago when I was not aware of Wikipedia's policies I think I copied several articles from Global Secuity. All of them are US Army Brigade articles. I more or less have a list of them and I have been meaning to go back and take that stuff out. —Ed!(talk) 20:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I understand, Ed!. I see that there was some copying from some other websites as well (e.g. 15th Sustainment Brigade from [1] -- which actually might be okay since US Army military page's are usually public domain -- but that one does have a copyright stamp on the bottom. I'll check into that further). But because of the large list of articles created, I think it is best to create a WP:CCI workpage so they can be covered methodically. Do you remember if the copy-pasting occurred only on articles you created, or might you have done the same with other pages already created? And if you do have a list of articles, it would be great if you could provide that. Thanks. CactusWriter (talk) 21:28, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to say the list of copyvios committed is actually much smaller than the total number of articles created, as I was told of my error within a few months, and I later worked to push many of the articles to B or GA anyway. There were still a few I had decided to eventually get more info for. Here are the ones still containing copyvio:

  1. 7th_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)  Done
  2. 15th Sustainment Brigade  Done
  3. 501st_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)
  4. 593rd_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)
  5. 321st_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)
  6. 555th_Engineer_Brigade_(United_States)
  7. 55th_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)
  8. 48th_Infantry_Brigade_Combat_Team_(United_States)
  9. 29th_Infantry_Brigade_Combat_Team_(United_States)
  10. 27th_Infantry_Brigade_Combat_Team_(United_States)
  11. 76th_Infantry_Brigade_Combat_Team_(United_States)
  12. 53rd_Infantry_Brigade_Combat_Team_(United_States)
  13. 218th_Maneuver_Enhancement_Brigade_(United_States)
  14. 92nd_Maneuver_Enhancement_Brigade_(United_States)
  15. 50th_Infantry_Brigade_Combat_Team_(United_States)
  16. 43rd_Military_Police_Brigade_(United_States)  Done text re-attributed
  17. 420th_Engineer_Brigade_(United_States)  Done -- no copyvio
  18. 194th_Engineer_Brigade_(United_States)
  19. 926th_Engineer_Brigade_(United_States)  Done -- no copyvio
  20. 372nd_Engineer_Brigade_(United_States)  Done -- no copyvio
  21. 369th_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States)  Done

I should cautiton you that I've found many of the articles of this type (US Army Military Units) tend to attract overzealous US Army members who do not understand that copying stuff from the unit website is not OK. Eyeballing my articles created these are the ones I suspect to have copyvio content added by me and others. I am sure there are more articles in this general category that contain more copyvio material. Of all the hundreds of US Army unit articles, all but a half dozen or so have been promoted beyond start-class by me, while others have added large amounts of stuff directly from government websites. —Ed!(talk) 23:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thanks for this list, Ed. And, yes, there are many editors who believe copying the unit website is okay. Sometimes this is simply a belief that all DoD webpages are public domain. Unfortunately, that's not the case. By the way, I did recheck the 15th Sustainment Brigade, and confirmed the entire history section is still a copyright infringement of the unit website. Although the DoD hosts the webpage, they do include a disclaimer stating they are not responsible for the pages, and thus it is not part of their public domain material. And about all those other hundreds of US Army unit articles... I know, I know, I know. Ugh. I'm a bit loath to start checking into them. So, for the moment, let's see if we can get the list above corrected. It appears to be mostly the history sections which are copied and need to be removed. It'll be a big task to quickly revise the text on all the articles, so it would be a good idea to stub them now until they can be rebuilt. Are you okay with that? CactusWriter (talk) 23:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ed!, I now think there is a better solution here. It appears the globalsecurity website often duplicates information from the military unit's official website. And those military website pages are public domain (with only a few exceptions). If you can find the same text on the the army.mil site, and the site uses their standard release ( Information presented on this site is considered public information and may be distributed or copied.), than you should be able to simply re-attribute the text to the army website and add the template:US Army to the bottom reference section. For example, I have done this with the 7th_Sustainment_Brigade_(United_States) article. we should be able to save most of the text this way. CactusWriter (talk) 20:40, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Commander

The best bet would be the book The Korean War: Volume I (ISBN 0803277946), although my copy still got stuck during shipping. The catch is that division level organizations in Korean (and Chinese) military only has the importance of regiments when compared to US military, therefore their commanders are not really notable figures unless they were attached to an American corps. Jim101 (talk) 20:48, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found two missing commanders in the book Paik, Sun Yup (1992), From Pusan to Panmunjom, Riverside, NJ: Brassey Inc, ISBN 0028810023

Hill 303 massacre

Hi Ed!, I have got a few minor issues before I can pass Hill 303 massacre. The issues can be found at Talk:Hill 303 massacre/GA1. It is a good article but needs a few tweaks before GA, regards, Woody (talk) 19:47, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I have fixed all of your concerns. —Ed!(talk) 03:08, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are still a couple of little referencing issues that need fixing. Regards, Woody (talk) 23:17, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article 766th Independent Infantry Regiment (North Korea) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

There are currently some problems with the prose. Could you stop over and fix them? WikiCopter (radiosortiesimagesshot down) 03:08, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article 766th Independent Infantry Regiment (North Korea) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:766th Independent Infantry Regiment (North Korea) for things which need to be addressed. WikiCopter (radiosortiesimagesshot down) 03:14, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article 766th Independent Infantry Regiment (North Korea) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:766th Independent Infantry Regiment (North Korea) for eventual comments about the article. Well done! WikiCopter (radiosortiesimagesshot down) 01:47, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the Hill 303 article you say it was the first atrocity. But the Chaplain-Medic atrocity occurred a month earlier. Can you clarify this? Thanks. Great articles! RlevseTalk 23:40, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, just a quick note. You might want to check the contribution first, you thanked at least a couple anon people so far tonight for vandalism. Aaron north (T/C) 03:11, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. My mistake. I've been trying to revert all the vandalism I see but some of it has been tricky to spot. Or maybe I hit the wrong button accidentally. hmm... —Ed!(talk) 03:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed. I reverted this edit and deleted your note from the contributor's talk page. I don't see any vandalism here. Herostratus (talk) 06:25, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
