GA reviews[edit]

Hi Doug. I have noticed that you have been submitting a lot of articles for review recently (over a hundred I believe). Congrats, that is a great effort. You obviously know a thing or two about what makes an article good, so I was hoping to encourage you to get more involved in the review process as a reviewer (I see you have done about 6 so far). We are short on editors willing to review others work so your help in this aspect would be appreciated and is vital to ensure the Good Article process operates effectively. If you need any help or advice on reviewing drop me a message, ping or post at WT:GAN. Cheers AIRcorn (talk) 00:17, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Cone Mills Corporation[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Cone Mills Corporation has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

A couple of things. I "fixed" the citations so they all have a uniform layout. I hope you don't mind. I came across two dead links. #18 - I am sure I found a source which is a suitable replacement - #17. If you agree, you should delete #18.

The second dead link is #29. I found #28 which I hope is an adequate replacement. Again, if you agree it is #29 should be deleted. Best of luck with the GAN.

Ramsdell Theatre[edit]

  • I'd like to keep all the ideas re the article here on-wiki, all in one place. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 00:03, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
  • @Shearonink: I think the article is ready to become a Good Article. Let me know if you want to work on it anymore. Would you be interested in nominating it GAN? Otherwise I will nominate it. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:27, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
Sure, I'll nominate it. I'm going to look it over first, I want to work on some of the text and make sure the refs are all good to go. I'll get it over to GAN within the next couple of days, before next Monday for sure. Hey, do you ever get over to Bath Michigan? I've been wanting a good photo of Girl with a Cat for Bath School disaster for ages... Shearonink (talk) 23:13, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
@Shearonink: Sounds good for the nomination. Take a look at Thomas Jefferson Ramsdell as I believe it is not that from from being a Good Article. I am going to add a little more to the lead in the next few days. If it looks interesting to you, perhaps you could do some copy editing to it and could be another GAN. Nope - Bath is not my territory. I am in northwestern Michigan. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:29, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
@Shearonink: If Thomas Jefferson Ramsdell looks interesting to you, just do some copy editing and nominate GAN. Then you can get another green GA icon you can put on top of your User Page like I have when it gets promoted.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:38, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
The Theatre's been nominated as a GAN. Now we just have to wait. And maybe wait a looooong while. Heh, I took a look at Ramsdell (disambiguation)...never knew there were so many Ramsdell articles on Wikipedia. Shearonink (talk) 15:45, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
I'll take a look at TJ Ramsdell - not as interested and, frankly, theaters are more my thing, but sure, I'll give it some good copy edit runs. Might take me a while to get to it though - remind me if it's been a while.Shearonink (talk) 15:45, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
@Shearonink: Thanks. I appreciate it.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 19:00, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Happy New Year![edit]


Walter Elmer Schofield, Across the River (1904), Carnegie Museum of Art.
Best wishes for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2021.
Thank you for your contributions toward making Wikipedia a better and more accurate place.
BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:54, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Oneupsmanship: This painting turned the friendly rivalry between Edward Redfield and Elmer Schofield into
a feud. Schofield was a frequent houseguest at Redfield's farm, upstream from New Hope, Pennsylvania,
and the two would go out painting together, competing to capture the better view. Redfield served on the jury
for the 1904 Annual Exhibition of the Carnegie Institute; at which, despite Redfield's opposition, Across the
River
was awarded the Gold Medal and $1,500 prize. It was not until a 1963 interview that the 93-year-old
Redfield revealed the painting as the cause of the 40-year feud between them. Schofield may have painted it
in England, but a blindsided Redfield knew that it was a view of the Delaware River, from his own front yard!

By the way...[edit]

Thank you for the work you put into Skinner. He’s been on my watchlist for a while and I had him on my radar for doing something with eventually but got distracted with other articles. Good to see him covered well. It’s going to be a nice Lille article with some polishing...hopefully you don’t think I was too harsh. Ealdgyth (talk) 12:03, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

  • @Ealdgyth: Not harsh at all. In fact I see you think very logically, so am trying to follow your excellant guidance. Feel free to watch my copy editing and answers on the review as I go along. We then can get this article in good shape. I welcome your guidance. Thanks. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:16, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
