Welcome to my talk page. Please leave me a message below and I will reply on your talk page. Although my email address is enabled, it is not an address I check often (so I may be slow in replying to email). Please also note that while I am glad to do a peer review on just about any article, I am limiting myself to three a week and do not have the time to do copyedits (sorry). Thanks for stopping by and happy editing! Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Mark of the Year

Hi Ruhrfisch, I was wondering if you could re-check the article along with the peer review. Thanks for all the help --Flewis^(talk) 00:59, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Lincolnshire, Illinois for Peer Review

Hey, Ruhrfisch.

All that feedback I pooled last time helped get the article to GA, and I thank you for all of your aid. I, on this topic, will need it one more time so Lincolnshire can pass through FAC without too much trouble. If you have the time, can you take a look over the article?

Please get back to me as soon as you can.

Thanks, --Starstriker7(^{Dime algo}_{or see my works}) 04:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

RE: Wikipedia's Expert Peer Review process (or lack of such) for Science related articles

User: Shotwell suggested (on my talk page) "I would endorse a WP:EXPERTADVICE page that outlined the wikipedia policies and goals for researchers in a way that enticed them to edit here in an appropriate fashion. Perhaps a well-maintained list of expert editors with institutional affiliation would facilitate this sort of highly informal review process. I don't think anyone would object to a well-maintained list of highly-qualified researchers with institutional affiliation (but then again, everyone seems to object to something)."

We could start with that if you would agree ... - could you help to push his idea through Wikipedia bureaucracy ? In my view people nominated as "expert reviewers" should be willing not to hide under the veil of anonymity. They should be able to demonstrate some level of the verifiable accomplishment / recognition in the domain of professional science (everything mentioned above relates to amateur Wikipedia activity ... ).

BTW, I do not see any reason why the anonymity of editors on Wikipedia is considered to be a "good thing". Above is my general opinion, so please don't take my statement personally. There is obviously a choice given for everyone in Wikipedia either to act "in open" or to hide behind meaningless assumed pseudonym and I accept this situation. Also I do understand current Wikipedia concept that in order to produce good Wikipedia science article, one does not need to be a professional scientist ... - that is fine with me ... But I propose to have (at least optionally) ability to review/qualify such article by the professional scientist. Cheers, Apovolot (talk) 13:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Virginia peer review

Just wanted to say thanks for reviewing Virginia for us, I was worried it would go with out a human review for the third time. I'll try to get around to those suggestions in the coming week, and to review a backlogged article too! Thanks again!--Patrick «» 19:39, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Myra, Wisconsin map insert

Thanks for placing the map. Can you send me instructions on how to do this in the future. You can send them to wolfj@slinger.k12.wi.us. Now the pictures are scanned from a book (see reference on Myra page). The book was printed in 1976 but I believe the Washington County Historical society has the rights to them. What process should I use to gain permission. Please keep the pictures on until I can seek permission. Thanks!

Tidying convert template parameters

Hi Ruhrfisch,

I noticed that you are making a series of edits with an edit summary similar to "simplify convert templates (use default units, sig figs)" to articles mainly about State Parks. I would like to thank you for making these edits for several reasons. Firstly they do simplify the template call in articles making reading, understanding and editing articles easier. Secondly, simplifying the calls by removing redundant parameters makes the convert template look easier to use and hopefully promotes its use by editors. Thirdly (and dearest to my heart), using the default conversion output units for acres (which is hectares) restores hectares to many articles where I believe they are frequently the appropriate metric unit for land area conversions. This being particularly relevant considering that the single-handed campaign to remove hectares from wikipedia has restarted.

Note that the convert template does some obscure things when it tries to determine the number of significant digits in the input value. Some of the articles that you have edited recently to simplify the convert template calls have led to inconsistencies between converted values in the article text and the same value in an infobox, because of the guess that the convert template makes. An example lies in the Delaware Canal State Park article. I had started to edit these articles where such inconsistencies have crept in. I am making the assumption the area of the parks have been surveyed to an accuracy of at least to the nearest acre, such that in the article above there are 3 significant digits in 830 acres, not 2 as the convert template is guessing. However, I have come across another article (Erie Bluffs State Park) where this occurs and I thought before I find and edit too many more articles that you have contributed to significantly, I should seek your input. Is the nearest acre a reasonable assumption for the accuracy of the land area measurements given in these articles?

Bleakcomb (talk) 03:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

My pleasure Ruhrfisch. They are a fantastic set of articles. I like to see metric conversions provided that are easy to read and understand while having appropriate precision (not too much - not too little). I have started on the rest of the articles - I have R. B. Winter on my screen right now! I would be happy to continue, though I can't promise any deadlines for completion. If you would like to do it, just say so. I probably won't get much more done today. BTW, I put a surprise in Pymatuning State Park article that you will probably object to. I was waiting to see how long before someone found it! It should be m³, I know.

Peer review limits

Ruhrfisch, thank you for informing me of the peer review limitations. I was not aware, and I thank you for cutting me some slack. I will keep your comments in mind for future reference. Best wishes! Whataworld06 (talk) 14:24, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

• Ruhrfisch, if I could take a moment to ask you a question. I am confused as to how the peer review and featured article process works. I listed two articles that I feel are of quality, but I am not sure how long they need to remain listed for peer review. So far, no one has made any suggestions or comments. I plan on making any corrections needed, but I am not sure what to do afterwards. I apologize for the inconvenience, but this is my first time going through this process, and I was wondering if you could provide any advice or direct me to a link that would assist me. Thanks so much! Whataworld06 (talk) 17:05, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks again for your assistance! You are too kind. I was not aware of the differences between FAC and FLC, since I simply saw another musician Awards list that was a featured article and thought the list I nominated was similar. If the list does not obtain FAC status, or the peer review cannot be changed to apply to FLC status, I will be sure to resubmit the list I nominated for FLC at a later date. Thanks again! Whataworld06 (talk) 22:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Follow up question

Hey Ruhrfisch, per the peer review, I have been updating the first table on the List of Pi Kappa Phi chapters article here. I am adding the cities and closing dates for each chapter. I am also implementing a color-code for the chapter status (instead of using asterisks). I got the color idea from the List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom page. If you have the time, would you mind taking a look at the new table? Thanks. — ŁittleÄlien¹⁸² (_talk\^contribs) 20:45, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Re Mozart map (Mozart family Grand Tour)

Well, I tried my stuff on Online Map Creation. I can get an outline map all right, but when I tried to add cities, following what seemed to be the required process - nothing happened, so the procedure stalled. The map I need has exactly the dimensions of Awadewit's map on her History of a Six Weeks' Tour article. Her map also shows many of the towns I need. I would have thought her map could be easily adapted for my purposes, if I knew how. Can you help? I can specify my requirements in any way you wish. Meanwhile I'll keep trying on OMC and, who knows, I may be lucky. Brianboulton (talk) 21:25, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I am totally grateful. If it can be done, I'd like the map to be as per Awadewit's dimensions but with the following specific characteristics:-

• Remove all the rivers
• Replace these with country borders, if possible
• Insert the following towns, representing the outward journey to London, connected by a black line (with a couple of direction arrows) representing the outward journey to London: Salzburg; Munich; Mannheim; Mainz; Frankfürt; Cologne; Liège; Brussels; Paris; Calais; Dover; London
• Insert the following towns, (connected by a red line with arrows) to denote the return journey: (London); (Dover); (Calais); Lille; Ghent; Antwerp; The Hague; Amsterdam; Haarlem; Utrecht; (Brussels); (Paris); Dijon; Lyon; Geneva; Zurich; (Munich); (Salzburg).

That's 23 towns in all - somewhat less than Awadewit's. Can this be done? If necessary I can supply geographical coordinates for all the towns - or any other information needed. It seems an awfully big undertaking - please don't let it be a problem, with all your other commitments. Brianboulton (talk) 23:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Modern borders not a problem, the old ones were generally quite similar, and anyway these are not the focus of the map. Please take your time, the peer review is yet young! Brianboulton (talk) 00:36, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

The map is marvellous, no further tweaks needed. I have loaded into the article page. The only possible problem is that it looks a bit small, and will not load if I try to force it to, say, 250px. Could you look at it in situ, & tell me if you think readers will find it OK? Thanks, again, for your help. Brianboulton (talk) 17:53, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I've just seen it, in its enlarged form, in the article. Couldn't be better. Brianboulton (talk) 21:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

"I will never have an FP"

Lol. I'm wondering, would you mind if I searched around a bit and possibly promoted an image within one of your articles, but not one of your pictures? Ceran →(sing→see →scribe) 21:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Image:Black_Moshannon_State_Park_Cabin_4.JPG seems like it might have a chance at FPC. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 21:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I don't noramlly reply here, but as for Julian's suggestion is a bit tilted (fixable) and the gravel sidewalk is close to being blow (I think). I could always nominate it though - it keeps me humble. I tend to get attached to certain photos for sentimental reasons, but unlike articles they can't be improved, and I am not in the position to buy a better camera. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 22:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Err, I couldn't tell if it was tilted, or if it was on a hill. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 22:40, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually it is on a slight hill / slope. I will nominate it at the peer review for FPs in the next few hours. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 23:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll comb through my various sources tomorrow for any good pictures from your type of articles just in case this image is not well regarded. Ceran →(sing→see →scribe) 01:08, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Backup pics

In case that image is not well regarded, I have found the following images across various places:

• [1]

• [2]

• [3]

• [4]

That's what I have so far. I have to study for a quiz now, so I won't be on for the rest of the night. Cheers and good luck with FPC! Ceran →(sing→see →scribe) 01:17, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I may be missing something, but it seems to me that all four of those images are not under a free license. I love the first three, but am a bit puzzled by the fourth as a potential FP (looks more like part of someone's vacation slideshow - here we are at Leonard Harrison!). I did not get to the PPR as planned but should do so today. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 12:50, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, they're all non-free. I agree that the fourth one looks a tad like something you would put in a scrapbook rather than Wikipedia. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 14:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Good to know, thanks! I'll put that on my watchlist. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 19:21, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Heh, those kinds of comments seem to be the theme lately. I've nominated several FPCs fruitlessly, as well. I guess I just don't have the eye for the kinds of issues they look for. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 19:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Whenever you have a question, feel free to ask me, and with my humble photo skills, if I am unable you can always take it to PPR. Ceran →(sing→see →scribe) 20:57, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, feel free to comment on the PPR of the log cabin photo, here if so inclined. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 21:33, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I have now nominated the Black Mo log cabin picture at WP:FPC, here, thanks again to all, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 05:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Boonies

There are a couple of issues with same places in the boonies of Pennsylvania. Kane get vandalized fairly often and I seem to be the only one watching it. Also, the maps of Potter County are all now out of whack. With the East Fork and Wharton deal. I will fix them, in time, but when I don't know. If you have time, could you do it? All the maps of the townships and the county maps will need fixing. Thanks for the congrats, don't know when I'll be back on the wiki, probably not until Tues.

Hey, Ruhrfisch.

Just wanted to give you the heads up, that I left a few comments in response to yours at the Lincolnshire peer review page. Once again, I appreciate your aid.

Stella Power Station

Thanks for peer reviewing the Stella Power Station article. I've gone through and completed you recommendtions for improvement, but there are probably a few statements left tht need referencing. I was wondering if you could go through and point out which specific statements I should find a reference for, along with any other mistakes/improvements which need sorting out. Thanks again for reviewing. Fintan264 (talk) 22:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Right, I've gotten some of the references you've asked for and tried to expand or merge the short paragraphs. However I still haven't got references for the statements in the social and culture section. This is because there are no online resources stating whats in the article; its been taken from seeing the films and seeing the stations in them. I provided a screenshot of the stations in the payroll film, is this not a suitable reference? Similarly, there is nothing online which states you could see the stations between the places mentioned in the article, but there are photos from the two places and the stations are clearly visible in both photos. If these were suitable references I wouldn't be sure as to how to reference them. I'm sorry about all this by the way, I'm still never sure what is acceptable and what isn't hah.

Also, I've probably got the prose as good as I, personally, ever could. To improve it further is there anyone I could ask to go through and do such a thing? Fintan264 (talk) 13:16, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Armstrong Township

I have some question about Armstrong Township that you might have and idea about. Could you give your two cents. It's on the Armstrong Township talk page and article history. Namely the population in 1890 was well over 7,000 souls according to the U.S. Census, but now the population is more like 700. My thoughts are that the establishment of the water company surely accounted for some decline, but I doubt that over 6,000 people were moved out. Maybe the census included figures from South Williamsport and Duboistown? I don't know just how census figures are counted. Dincher (talk) 01:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

If you don't mind. The question has been bugging me for some time. The scanning error sounds most likely. Thanks. How's the bridge coming along? Dincher (talk) 02:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

What did you want me to see in the South Williamsport history link? I am busier and busier everyday. My greatest contributions to the wiki may be in the past. Things at home are going great, but we're always busy, busy, busy. Dincher (talk) 02:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Forgot to add that I have heard about PR burnout before. ;) I guess that's a wink. Dincher (talk) 02:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Well don't get burned too bad. Have a good Sunday. Dincher (talk) 03:08, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I know Mike Dincher from the family hunting camps near the water company. He's a tresspasser just like me and the rest of us. I always really liked him. He was one of the few guys to pay attention to us kids, when we were kids. I don't imagine that he won, did he? I hadn't noticed the two names coidcidence. That's pretty cool. Have fun with the map. Dincher (talk) 03:27, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Those results are pretty impressive. I also had fun looking at the Presidential results on a county by county basis. Thanks for the link. Dincher (talk) 03:53, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Did you see that Amd194 came up with the Armstrong Township answer? He's a pretty smart guy. Dincher (talk) 18:51, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I saw your note that the original was wrong. I am glad we have it sorted out. Thanks for the congrats and congrats to you too. Dincher (talk) 02:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

HAER data

Thanks for finding that source! I never would have looked there. I've downloaded the B&W photos and I'll upload them to commons sometime. I find it amazing how there were no trees around the bridge in the 1930s. I also found a bunch of photos of other historic Erie landmarks that I have yet to write articles for. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 03:32, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Glad to help. I hope the bad weather dissipates quickly. Finetooth (talk) 05:16, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I understood your message perfectly. I was being clever and obscure in my reply. Get well soon, is what I really meant. By the way, thinking again about bridges has led me to start reading The Portland Bridge Book, which I acquired a couple of weeks ago. Fascinating. A bridge that I use frequently and have photographed many times just for fun turns out to be the oldest surviving vertical lift bridge in the U.S. Built in 1910, it originally had a wooden deck but now has an open-grating steel deck that "sings" from high-speed vibrations when vehicles roll over it. I noticed in the paper the other day that 30 percent of the traffic over this bridge this year was by bicycle. Personal research indicates that this amazing statistic could well be true. Finetooth (talk) 17:58, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I should have thought to ask yesterday. Other than doing reviews, is there anything else I can do at PR or elsewhere until you are feeling better? Finetooth (talk) 15:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you are doing better. I'll think about your PR ideas and comment if I think of anything that might be useful. That big bunch of things from the AP class is taking a while to get through. I reviewed Gastritis this morning. The authors are 10th-graders, a studious lot by-and-large, as far as I can tell. Finetooth (talk) 19:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

HAER photos

I noticed that you start your new bridge article. I noticed in particular the photos from HAER. I believe you could get a higher resolution photo from converting the original TIFF files into JPG's. Also, I was wondering if you were going to crop out the border that was created when the photos were digitized.

Erie Land Light will be expanded soon and will be sporting a new (or rather old depending on how who look at it) photo that I found on HAER after you directed me to the covered bridge photos. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 19:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

A slight rotation wouldn't be bad. I wonder if you could break your curse of not having featured picture with one of the bridge photos. Think, they are high res photos of a historic, encyclopedic bridge that can not be replaced. Or, would that not count? --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 01:40, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

The photo looks good. I put the DYK nomination for Erie Land in already. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 04:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I've had some success with getting old B&W photos (1, 2) featured, but I've had failures as well. So who knows, I still haven't figured how great of a historical photo it has to be to get promoted. --​​​​D.B.^{talk•contribs} 04:56, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there...

Can you take a look at the sourcing queries on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ralph Bakshi and tell me if I'm out of line here? It appears that the editors are using citations to sources they did not actually consult, but that were sources for works they did consult. When questioned, I'm getting "I've done this before and it's fine", which I do not consider fine, but I'd like a second opinion. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Maggie Gyllenhaal FAC

Hi Ruhrfisch, listen, I want to ask a favor. If you have time, do you think you can comment on Maggie Gyllenhaal's FAC, since there has been no feedback for a while. I would appreciate your comments, regarding the article, and anything that needs to be fixed. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Take your time, don't rush it. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. :) I've addressed half of your concerns. Question: What suggestion do you have in writing about her parents divorce? Cause, I'm having real trouble with it. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:36, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Peer review, Igbo people

I picked this up from the WP:PR page, to review. There is nothing on the talkpage to indicate that the review is in progress, perhaps because the nominator omitted a stage? Can you help to get the position regularised? Many thanks, Brianboulton (talk) 01:02, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
