March contest

Congrats on an easy win! Usually Rupert and I verify, tally and hand out awards for this but I'll be away for the w/e starting this afternoon so given you're responsible for about half the damned entries, perhaps you can take my place this month... ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Sure, I'll do everybody's but mine!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Sturm. All the entries are verified. I've initialised the April contest and archived the old ones. The last tasks are to tally up the results, update the scoreboard, write up the newsletter and hand out the awards. I've tallied up the results offline in a spreadsheet and will update the scoreboard, newsletter and handout the awards a bit later (I have to go offline for a bit). Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 07:13, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Okay, its all done now. Thanks for your help and congrats on winning. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 09:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Tks guys, quick work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 14:39, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

German WWII destroyers

Good to see somebody is finally taking care of creating those articles. I created three of them a while ago because I thought it to be rather unusual and sad that there was no articles on those resonably well know ships but its not my usual field of work. Calistemon (talk) 10:32, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Not sure how far I'll take them, but I agree that it's about time that they each had their own article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:01, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

If you'd like some help, I own some of the relevant books. Manxruler (talk) 19:05, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Sure, feel free so long as we avoid bumping heads with edit conflicts. I'm going to work on Z9 today so feel free to work on Z5 to Z8. Just let me know which ever one you're working on here and I'll do the same. I plan to get all up to speed within the 5-day DYK limit so I'll be pretty active trying to meet that goal.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:27, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Brazilian ironclads

Hi, Sturmvogel. Unless I'm mistaken, you're the editor who wrote the articles about Brazilian ironclad Tamandaré and Brazilian ironclad Brasil. I added a couple of pictures to both articles. I believe that will help you bring them to Good or Featured articles, isn't? P.S.: I'll add later a picture to Brazilian ironclad Rio de Janeiro. Regards, --Lecen (talk) 15:40, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your participation in the March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive

On behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, we would like to take the time and thank you for your contributions made as part of the March 2011 Good articles backlog elimination drive. Awards and barnstars will go out shortly for those who have reviewed a certain number of articles.

During the backlog drive, in the month of March 2011,

• 522 GA nominations were undertaken.
• 423 GA nominations passed.
• 72 GA nominations failed.
• 27 GA nominations were on hold.

We started the GA backlog elimination drive with 378 GA nominations remaining, with 291 that were not reviewed at all. By 2:00, April 1, 2011, the backlog was at 171 GA nominations, with 100 that were left unreviewed.

At the start of the drive, the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 101 days (Andrei Kirilenko (politician), at 20 November 2010, reviewed and passed 1 March 2011); at the end of the drive the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 39 days (Gery Chico, at 24 February 2011, still yet to be reviewed as of this posting).

While we did not achieve the objective of getting the backlog of outstanding GA nominations down to below 50, we reduced the GA backlog by over half. The GA reviews also seemed to be of a higher quality and have consistently led, to say the least, to marginal improvements to those articles (although there were significant improvements to many, even on the some of the nominations that were failed).

If you would like to comment on the drive itself and maybe even make suggestions on how to improve the next one, please make a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/March 2011#Feedback. Another GA backlog elimination drive is being planned for later this year, tentatively for September or October 2011. Also, if you have any comments or remarks on how to improve the Good article process in general, Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles can always use some feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles.

Again, on behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, thank you for making the March 2011 GA backlog elimination drive a success.

HMS Hood

About the HMS Hood, the tv series Dogfights, episode "Sink the Bismarck", the narrator says "As Hood slides beneath the waves, her forward turret fires a final defiance salvo before slipping into darkness". AOCJedi (talk) 03:34, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

That really isn't good enough. Find a book that says that that happened and we can discuss it. TV is all about sensationalism.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:41, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I've seen that episode also, and it does say that about Hood, but I have to agree with Sturmvogel on this one; a television series that has problems keeping its facts straight does not a reliable source make... Magus732 (talk) 15:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

French cruiser Sully

Hello

I just translate your article French cruiser Sully. My problem is that its really diffrent than Gloire class cruiser. Diffrent armour, diffrent previous version (Gueydon vs Dupleix). Can you compare that article and try to fix diffrences? PMG (talk) 20:02, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Also - what power it have? 20,500 ihp or shp? Because in text there is like this and like this. 02:22, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Good catch, it should have been ihp. I've fixed it now. I'll have to check my references, but I'm pretty sure that she's counted as one of the Gloire-class cruisers, even if she had a different armor scheme.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 05:30, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Any changes? PMG (talk) 02:37, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Everything I have shows her a member of the Gloire class. What's your source for believing differently?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:48, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Compare French cruiser Sully and Gloire class cruiser. Its just internal problem on en.wiki - I don`t have sources. But if Sully is a GA then its just strange for me that nobody compare that ship with class article. Difrrent Displacement, diffrent engine power, torpedo tubes, belt and deck armor. I am not talking about lenght and beam because its probably just problem with conversion. So, yeah - 99,9 % that Sully is ok if you have sources (and you have so many GA that for sure you have). But then - nobody compare it with class article? PMG (talk) 22:47, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

21-inch torpedoes

Sorry, Sturmvogel. I got a bit confused about 21-inch torpedoes (they are of course 533mm). I was getting confused with British 18 inch torpedoes, which are of course 450mm, or 17.72 inches, in diameter. Shem (talk) 21:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

That's quite alright. I was getting ready to ask you what your source was as nothing I can find mentions the exact diameter of the British 21-inch torpedoes, length and most other parameters, but not diameter. I think that I've already changed them back while generally editing the articles.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:53, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

I feel a bit of a prawn, actually. Not my normal style. I did a check - any I've changed have now been changed back. If you're online now you might care to wade in at Talk:Corvette. Your opinion (either way) would be welcome. Shem (talk) 22:08, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Specifications for US Military Aircraft

I have started a discussion on User:Ken keisel's proposal to standardise on a single source for specification of US Military aircraft here.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:37, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

References

Hi Sturmvogel66; just a quick note to ask for your help while I introduce Ken to citing his sources. He has a long history of contributing unsourced or poorly sourced material and even recently was still looking for opportunities to continue to do so. It's better that, at least for now, he errs on the side of overreferencing rather than underreferencing. He's also having trouble formatting references in their simplest form; condensing them down with the "name" attribute will be the next step.

Could I please ask for a little patience with him? I'm continuing to work with him and will ensure that everything is properly squared away at the end. Of course, I'm not asking for any special forbearance with cleaning up any actual breakages that he might cause along the way.

Properly skilled up, I think he'll be an extremely valuable contributor to the project.

Cheers! Rlandmann (talk) 22:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I hadn't gone to his talk page before I removed all his excess references and didn't know that you two were working together. Still, I'm surprised that he was making such simple mistakes after all the time that you'd been coaching him. But I'll back off until you can get him on the straight and narrow.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:54, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

The bell of HMS Renown

Hi Sturmvogel 66. This is my first go at using talk, but if it works it's a better way of having a dialogue than leaving comments on edits.

Take your point about verification, and I've been trying to turn up some evidence - preferably photographic, but so far no joy. I will keep trying! It would be nice eventually to add something to such a well researched and informative page, so I hope I'm successful.

For the (as yet unproven!) record: I was a pupil at RMS Bushey from 1972 to 1975. The bell was hung on a purpose built frame on the dining hall stage with a small information panel bout the ship. From my memory of that panel I would be certain it was the Battlecruiser scrapped in 1948 as the photograph was very similar to that at the head of the Wikipedia page (and nothing like the other HMS Renown you referred me to as portrayed on its page).

The school closed in 1977 and I don't know where the bell went. The buildings have been converted to luxury flats and in 2000 any old boys who were inclided had one last chance to walk around the site. That included lunch in the dining hall, and the bell was not there.

My old craft master has become something of an unofficial historian of the school and if anyone knows the whole story, he will. I will endeavour to trace him and report back!

Meantime, thanks for the effort you've put into the Renown page - that bell always stuck in my memory, and it was great to learn a bit about the ship it came from. Tykesage (talk) 20:02, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I hope that you can source your memory as that would be a nice addition. Also see if you can trace the bell's fate after your school closed. Maybe the National Maritime Museum might know something? Maybe not, but it might be worthwhile to check out.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:04, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Sturmvogel 66...some progress...the 2011 copy of my old school magazine arrived yesterday and included a photograph of the president of the Old Masonians' Association ringing the bell at the start of last year's Association dinner. The event was held in the Royal Masonic School for Girls' dining room. It would seem the bell was moved there after the boys' school closed. The girls' school is in Rickmansworth and I will contact them for the citation you need, and will try and get an original of the photograph to send you also. Best regards Tykesage (talk) 18:01, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Excellent! I'll look forward to seeing the material. Please be sure to have the photographer release the photo under a Commons licence to avoid any copyright issue.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:05, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Armoured trains of Poland

You asked two questions during the review. Regarding the second one, I believe there are next to no sources discussing it; at the very least, in my gathering of materials for this article (I wrote it first on pl wiki), I found no information on how the trains were used after capture (anyway, in '39, only one surrendered, so presumably most of the remaining wagons were destroyed in combat or upon abandonment). You also asked for "more information on combat operations". I believe that just like on pl wiki this information belongs in the subarticles on individual trains, not in the main article. I plan on eventually translating all those articles, but I don't believe that the article would benefit from doubling or tripling in size which would occur when we add the detailed info on the 2-3 weeks operations of all 10+ trains in '39. I am of course open to further discussion, which I'd strongly suggest should take place on Talk:Armoured trains of Poland (and feel free to copy this message of mine there).

Hey Sturm. Even though this ACR has ended, mind replying to my responses to the issues that you raised so I can fix the ones that are still left over and re-nominate it at a later time? To be honest, I was not ready to take this to ACR when Buggie nominated it but I hope that this failed ACR will provide a stepping stone to a future successful one.--White Shadows ^{Stuck in square one} 01:59, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

You dealt with most of the issues that I raised. I'll have to take a look and see what you didn't get to or didn't understand what I meant. I hope that Buggie takes a look because there was a lot of style-type issues that I raised that probably apply to other articles that y'all have done together. It would be smart to take care of these sorts of things before your next ACR.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 05:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks and don't worry, I'll take your advice. When I get around to nominating the other ships for an ACR, I'll comb through them for the same issues that were brought up on this one. Hopefully Buggie will do the same.--White Shadows ^{Stuck in square one} 22:50, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 May newsletter

We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and Canada Hky (submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!
