Greece Turkey relations
Why did you remove the GA review for Greece–Turkey relations? What was problematic about the review? Elias (talk) 22:17, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Elias, please see the discussion at WT:GAN#New reviewer issue. The reviewer did that review plus one other in 15 minutes, and clearly had no idea what they were doing: all three of their reviews from that day have been reverted. It takes experience on Wikipedia plus a good understanding of the GA criteria to be able to conduct a Good Article review and it also takes significant time to carefully read the entire article and check the sourcing. As you will see, a quick check of all three articles revealed grammatical and clarity issues in all of them. I hope that your article will be picked up for review soon, and by someone who knows what they are doing, and I'm sorry that your hopes were raised by this problematic review. Best of luck going forward. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset, bummer. But thank you, as well, for keeping the quality up. So as a wise man once said, I'll be back. Elias (talk) 04:45, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Poems and Songs of Middle Earth at GAN
Hi, I see that this Middle-earth article isn't one of my GANs! It's been languishing in the queue since March. Unfortunately I did a small bit of editing on it a while back, so I'm not sure if I can review it... what d'you think? Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:20, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
- Chiswick Chap, I think it's best if you leave this to someone else to review, given the number of your edits. Fortunately, a GAN backlog drive is starting on June 1, so it seems likely that the article will be taken up during the course of the drive. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:06, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
GA Nomination to Ted Stevens
I remember the article being GA, although my thoughts may deceive me. I still wish to seek the GA Nomination for Senator Stevens. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mycranthebigman (talk • contribs) 19:55, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
Requesting inputs
You had suggested to avoid caps in the article titles. Can you guide which of following versions will be better.
- National Women's Day (Pakistan) – Present title
- National women's day (Pakistan) – is this okay enough?
- 1983 Women's March, Lahore – Present title
- 1983 Women's march, Lahore – is this okay enough?
- 1983 women's march, Lahore – or this one is better?
Thanks and warm regards

- Bookku, I believe Amakuru had more of an idea what to do in this area than I did, so I will defer to what Amakuru suggests. And to be clear, it isn't precisely avoiding caps in article titles, it's not using caps when common usage would typically be lowercase. I believe the first word in any article is typically capitalized, but after that only proper nouns and official names for something. But it's not something I run into very often, so it's best that you take the advice of someone who is more familiar with this. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:01, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
Thanks @ BlueMoonset, I would be pleased to have inputs / guidance from Amakuru, this reminds me about National Women's Day, that too seem to be March 2021 article, I suppose it would be wise to have thoughts from the article creator Pharos on this topic hence requesting them too join in this discussion if possible.
Thanks and warm regards
Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 05:27, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Bookku: the guidance on capitalisation is at MOS:CAPS, and the general guidance is that we should capitalise something if "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources". That means that in many cases, for example Civil rights movement, Syrian civil war etc, we put in sentence case, because evidence shows that the usage between title case and sentence case is at best 50/50. However, looking at National Women's Day, the evidence from this ngram (which analyses book sources) suggests that a big majority of sources do capitalise it. Thus I think the current title is correct. I don't know if there's a difference between the South African one and the Pakistan one, but that's the overall picture. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 14:11, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
Once again greetings, @ BlueMoonset & @Amakuru: as per your guidance I checked sources for my self once again and decided to retain writing style of title National Women's Day where as about changed '1983 Women's March, Lahore' to 1983 women's march, Lahore after a little more grammar discussion @ WP:RD/L. Accordingly made changes in the DyK. Besides I have added more shorter hook options that too may address some of your concerns. And still if any further corrections to the DyK are needed then feel free to make yourself or guide me, I will improve accordingly.
Thanks and warm regards Bookku, 'Encyclopedias = expanding information & knowledge' (talk) 12:53, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
