TFA
Thank you today for Battle of Hayes Pond, introduced: "about a January 1958 clash that erupted in Robeson County, North Carolina U.S. between Lumbee Native Americans and a band of Ku Klux Klan members. Long story short, a white supremacist KKK organization, led by a certain James W. "Catfish" Cole of South Carolina, decided that it would be a good idea to burn crosses to intimidate the 30,000-strong Native American community in triracial Robeson and then follow up with a highly-publicized nighttime rally in a cornfield to denounce race mixing. About 50 Klansmen attended the rally, as did a few hundred well-armed and rather annoyed Lumbees. After a 30-minute shouting match the Lumbees opened fire, striking a few Klansmen and sending Cole fleeing for his life into a swamp, leaving behind his wife and children. They then stole all the Klan regalia, including the cross which was to be burnt, and went into town to celebrate. The national news had a good laugh about it—a photo of two Lumbee wrapped in the KKK banner made a full page in Life magazine—while the local authorities, quite annoyed by all the trouble, indicted Cole for inciting a riot and sent him to prison. A recent campaign video by a Congressional candidate that recounts these events went viral at the beginning of this month. It's one of the more celebrated incidents in the Lumbee timeline and overall a great historical curiosity."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:46, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article about "the second Prime Minister of Burundi and a national hero, usually viewed as its most preeminent independence activist, though he was assassinated before the country became sovereign from Belgian colonial rule. A son of the Burundian king, he served as prime minister for only a few weeks in 1961 until he was shot dead by political rivals with the probable backing of the Belgian colonial administration."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

I know CAR isn't in your typical range of work
but Saint-Sylvestre coup d'état and Alexandre Banza are older Africa FAs from the same nominator as the Boganda article. From a quick look, are those in better shape than Boganda, or do they have the same issues? Hog Farm Talk 19:01, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Hog Farm: I actually went ahead and improved the Saint-Sylvestre coup d'état article while I had the books for Boganda; you can see my edits here. Aside from a page missing from a citation, there aren't too many blatant problems. The main thing, which you can see as a footnote in the article, is that Thomas O'Toole is rather critical of Titley's account of the coup, and unfortunately Titley's work undergirds most of the article. I've tried to improve things by using Kalck (who O'Toole praises) and newer journalism concerning now publicly available information on French attitudes towards the coup, but there might be other stuff we're missing. I've improved it best I can and I'm honestly not sure on whether it's FA status should change. For some reason I had forgotten about Banza. I've just done some minor cleanup but with only 24 unique refs and very little Kalck, I'm quite doubtful that it should be kept at FA. There also seems to be the same problem with editorialism and at times vague prose. I tried to checkout the Kalck book at the library today after seeing your message but it was missing from the shelf. -Indy beetle (talk) 00:26, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
- AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
- The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Hamlet, March paper
Indy beetle, I got the March paper and am reading it now, so you don't need to email it to me. But it does contain some detail you might want to add, if you can get hold of a copy. I'll comment once I catch up. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:05, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
Uncle Tom's Cabin
Indy beetle, I put in 10 excruciating hours yesterday cleaning up citations (not done yet) at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Uncle Tom's Cabin/archive1, a 2007 FA. It would be a shame for such an important topic to be delisted, but I'm not yet sure it is salvageable. There are patches of poor sourcing and writing, interspersed with content that is at standard. I do know that if it is to be saved, it will require more editors than are currently working on it, and journal access is needed to check for original research. Have you any interest? Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:27, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- @SandyGeorgia: You'll see I added some info, but honestly literary work is rather beyond me. There's so much literature about that book out there I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'm much more suited for historical stuff. -Indy beetle (talk) 19:57, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking; there are some other literary editors I can ask for help, as I too feel out-of-my-depth on this one, but I thought I'd ask anyway ! I have probably already put too much work into it, as it's hard to tell if it's saveable. Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:46, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Unokat
Hey mate, I've nominated Operation Unokat for good article and I can't see it not getting it. In your opinion could it make featured? I'm unfamiliar with the process. Just going through it and seeing the work you've done on it is superb!
Also do you have a good DYK for the article? Lankyant (talk) 13:29, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Lankyant: I think the article should be able to pass GA with relative ease, though the lede might need some expansion. I've added about everything I can from the sources available to me. For featured status, the lede would certainly need to be expanded, and the reviewers might want more information incorporated from the Attack on Camp Massart, but I'm not familiar with the Swedish literature on which that article was built. It may not be necessary, but we'll see. I'll try and help during the GA process. I'll leave DYK up to you, since that's sort of out of my field. -Indy beetle (talk) 21:29, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
NFOOTBALL and sourcing
I think your argument that the claims of bias are used to essentially avoid doing the work to actually find sources is well put. At the end of the day Wikipedia needs to build articles on reliable sources, not just on the claim that such sources exist. Do not get me started on how many articles we have on people born in and lived in the US or Europe some time after 1900 that lack any sources at all, or are based only on non-reliable sources. This is technically more of a problem outside sports, since most such sports people are based on a sports table somewhere, that is somewhat reliable, but in my experience going through articles on people born from 1910-1930 it is not that we have lots of unsourced or one source articles on people from Africa, Latin American or Asia, although we do have a few. Most of the articles with virtually no sources or actually no sources in that time frame are on people from Europe, North America or Australia. Some of this reflects English-language speaking users creating articles on family and friends or even themself (although the later is not that common for pre-1930 articles), but some of it reflects SNGs covering true laziness. Which when they tighten, like we saw with the Olympics SNG, leaves us with over 100,000 articles that no longer meet an SNG but also provide no context to show any notability beyond that. This has lead to a true mess with the Olympics issue in part because a certain number of those articles were created with less than a minute of time by the editor who created them. We know that because he created a different article about a minute before that one. Some of these people actually have more tothem then their one appearance in the Olympics but the text of the article does not hint at that. For example Fernando Huergo used to until today say "Fernando Huergo (born 31 July 1908, date of death unknown) was an Argentine fencer. He competed in the individual and team sabre events at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[1]" as the whole main text. The article was just a few minutes ago edited to show among other things that he was preisdent of the Argentine Olympic Committee from 1955-1957. I am less than sure the new article actually passes GNG or any SNG, and it is still a very small articles, but it is better. I also have to admit I have a quibble that he did not win a silver medal in 1951, he was part of a team that won a medal in those games.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:42, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
The Signpost: 30 January 2022:::North Carolina photos
I saw your cmts regarding your collection of photos of North Carolina. This is my birth state/home state. I suspect that Durham County, with Duke University, etc is well-represented in Commons. But if you need photos of the Person County/Caldwell County area, I may be able to help. Best wishes for your project, hope to see an article in the Signpost! (if you reply, please ping, as I'm not as active as usual). Sincerely, Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 22:05, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Tribe of Tiger: Thank you for your kind comments. Northern Durham County is actually in probable need of some photos, though I covered Bahama. My parents actually own a property in southern Person County so I've been up that ways plenty, but haven't taken much of any photos aside from Roxboro and Yanveyville. My old photo of Rougemont could probably be replaced, plus the stores in Timberlake or Mangum's in Moriah are probably due some pictures. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:55, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
- I live in Rougemont, and can take photos of (ahem) "greater downtown Rougemont". During the Christmas season, the electrical poles are adorned with white light outlined angels, very pretty, but too far in the future for a May article. Other holidays feature American flags. Decades ago, the post office was housed in a picturesque wooden building, hope it's still there. (new post office is in a brick building.) Absolutely familiar with Mangum's in Moriah, I think. If I remember correctly, this was/is a country store /cum post office. Castle Mont Rouge is up the road & around the corner from my house. Met Robert Mihaly many times, over the years. Our vet has a lovely facility in Bahama, might make a good photo. Searching through my mind for other photo ops. Such fun to connect with you! Will try to help.Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 22:34, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Tribe of Tiger: Pleasure to connect with you as well. My parent's property is technically a Rougemont postal address, but its north of Moriah and I've only been through "greater downtown Rougemont" once or twice, since I normally cut through Stem. The current photo of Rougemont is off of Peed Road I think, and not very representative. Mangum's is indeed a little gas station and store, I went there for chips and soda a few times. I've never actually been to that castle, the photos of its interior in ruins were given to me by a friend to upload to Wikipedia. I never went on Mr. Mihaly's property! -Indy beetle (talk) 03:27, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

TRN
With respect to your comment at AN: the most obviously problematic of TRN's edits concern the issue you identified (POV-pushing via a tedious semantic game around the word "progressive"). I wonder if you have the expertise and willingness to look at some of their edits to biographical articles -- they fall way outside of my expertise, but I find it unlikely that they aren't doing the same kind of POV-editing, just in a subtler context. E.g., since they've come off a block, there's this. Thanks (and if this is not your cup of tea then sorry for the bother). --JBL (talk) 23:59, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Reverted edit on Terry Sanford
Dear Indy beetle,
Today, I edited Terry Sanford to say Senator instead of senator and fixed "from 1961 1965" to "from 1961 to 1965". Instead of editing Senator back to senator, you reverted my entire edit; and then changed the above mistake again yourself. Of course editing Wikipedia is not about scoring points, but I must say I do not appreciate this course of action.
Yours, Leontrooper (talk) 18:18, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Leontrooper: I did not notice you had corrected the missing word. I reverted your edit because you improperly capitalized "U.S. senator". I suppose I can be chided for my lack of attention to the detail, but it wouldn't hurt for you to WP:AGF. -Indy beetle (talk) 18:33, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Indy beetle: No worries, I had not assumed bad faith, I just wished you had inspected my edit better before reverting it. No harm done. Leontrooper (talk) 18:36, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Terry Sanford. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Terry Sanford), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
