Hi Re Article on Yogacharya Tapan Bose

Hi There Ritchie,

I added some references and yet have not seen article approved.

Please check article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Kriya_Yoga_Guru_Yogacharya_Tapan_Bose

Perhaps you can help edit it a bit. I made the changes needed and gave citations too.

If there are tiny issues you have my permission to make the appropriate semantic and form changes.

Thanks

Your article wasn't submitted in the queue. I've now done this, so hopefully somebody will take a look at it soon. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:43, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ritchie,

Thanks for doing. Would you be able to check the status of the article. See if has been approved for publication. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by LAKULISH (talkcontribs) 14:21, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Abbey Road, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Magic Christian and Because (song) (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Yoko Ono

Did you even see that I was still working on it and asked for your help?--Aichik (talk) 17:43, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I did, but the BLP violations and lack of sources are unfortunately are a showstopper, I'm afraid, and they're not generally things you can fix quickly and expediently. A "not listed" (I don't like the term "fail" as it implies your efforts were substandard, which they weren't) means that the article cannot be listed as a GA at this time, and indeed I hope it will pass at a later date. I would follow the recommendations laid out in the review. The Wikipedia:Good article reassessment page gives you some other options you can consider, such as opening a community reassessment or requesting a second review. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:50, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment required

Hey Ritchie, how's work going? Listen, if you have some spare time, would you provide some input over the GAN review for Thirty Seconds to Mars? There are a few unresolved notes remaining (listed at the bottom of the page) and I'd appreciate if you share your opinion whether they should be addressed or not. Also, a suggestion whether the article should be promoted would be helpful. Thanks and everything the best.--Вик Ретлхед (talk) 21:19, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

re Abbey Road & Mac

Hey Ritchie, how are you? (I figured I'd reply over here rather than clutter GabeMc's talk page.)

And sorry, I meant to drop in at that Albums discussion after messaging with Gabe – but I managed to unearth precisely nothing that would've been helpful, so I didn't bother! Great job getting Abbey Road up at GAN, it's long overdue. I'm sure the nom will get snapped up by a reviewer any day now.

Thanks for the compliment about McCartney. Funny situation with that one, because I only came to the article while trying to help Yeepsi with Ram since, at the time, my head was filled with all things Apple/Beatles break-up, after working on song articles like Sue Me, Sue You Blues, Run of the Mill, Early 1970, etc. With Ram, it needed (needs) so much in the way of background and context, but it seemed to me that much of this had to link back to a similar section under McCartney. (In that, events of early and mid 1970 had such an obvious bearing on those of late 1970/early '71, when Mac sued the others.) So I head to McCartney instead, where I realise that much of that album's background, particularly regarding its release and reception, needed to link to/flow on from a more-dedicated discussion within Break-up of the Beatles. Then I get to that article and see that there's precious little about McCartney's role in breaking up the Beatles, relative to the massive amount of commentary and analysis that his actions over 1970–71 attracts in all the sources I have. So I got a bit stumped(!), because all I'd intended to do was help expand Ram for a shot at GAN, yet the whole exercise revealed how inadequate (imo) the coverage is further up the chain. The upshot was that McCartney, the article in the middle of the two extremes (Break-up of the Beatles vs Ram), ended up sort of okay – with your encouragement now, I just might revisit it after all.

Sorry to go on! … Best, JG66 (talk) 05:45, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well I think we concluded that the unsourced figures were not a showstopper for GAN, so they've been taken out. I normally find there's about 2-3 month waiting list for GA nominations, but since Abbey Road is bit higher profile it might get attention sooner. As you suggest, Beatles sources don't really document much about McCartney making the first album, so much as the reaction to its release which ran parallel with the Beatles' official break-up. The article also gives good credit to Linda's photography, which isn't really remembered too much these days. I've added a bit to the article myself, but there's not really too much more work that's needed to take it to GA status. Keep it up! Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:05, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Reel-to-reel audio tape recording may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

I published the first revision of the article following your suggestions. There are a few points that need discussion in the Background and Touring sections.[1] I'm waiting for your input after a second check of the article. Thanks Lewismaster (talk) 06:56, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked through your comments and replied where appropriate. Hope there's enough to go on with that. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:52, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent add to Yoko Ono

Thanks for the add on Julian, that was needed. On the other hand, I take issue with the way the Relationship to the Beatles section starts now with your blaming Ono for being present at the Beatles recording sessions. It regurgitates the stereotype of Ono as the dominant dragon lady in the relationship whereas we really don't know who was dominant as neither of us are them. I'll cite the People article that's used to reference a few other things in the article: It quotes Kyoko as saying "Lennon was always 'nice to me,' she describes him as 'this consuming force. He wanted all of my mom.' --Aichik (talk) 19:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All I wanted to say was that her constant presence in the studio was a significant departure from established practices (and I don't see any accounts of Jane Asher, Patti Boyd or Maureen Starkey setting up camp in Abbey Road Studios so it is significant). Personally I don't think Ono had any intention of deliberately breaking up the Beatles, she just sort of indirectly contributed to it by being in the way. And if the "stereotype" is mentioned in multiple, independent, reliable sources, it ought to have consideration to go on the article. Perhaps this conversation should continue on Talk:Yoko Ono?

DYK

Hi Ritchie, well done on the Abbey Road GA. If you add people to the DYK parameter, such as here, it's best to add their name into the parameter used for the bot to give credits, which is in the page in hidden text, like this: * {{DYKmake|Abbey Road|Ritchie333}}. I think one needs to be filled in for each credited editor. Thanks, Matty.007 17:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
