University rankings

Hi, I was hoping we could come to some agreement on displaying university rankings, as you've reverted my edits at University of Bedfordshire and Birmingham City University. If you look at any of the highly rate university articles such as University of Bristol they are using the rankings infobox, as I was implementing. There simply does not need to be rankings shown for the past 5/ 10 or more years on these articles. Rather the infobox provides a more concise and encyclopaedia style. Aloneinthewild (talk) 15:41, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

The Bristol University article had exactly one of these tables until February this year and its GA status is very old (2007), so probably not very relevant. Is there any particular reasons not to give previous rankings? This seems entirely encyclopedic to me. I have no objection to the new rankings being added to these tables, at least not if they are properly sourced. It is also worth noting that this is different for old and new universities. Old universities appear in far more rankings and do not tend to move much nationally. New universities tend to only be in three sets of rankings and move around a lot, so a snap shot of one or two years is not very helpful. I should also point out that this is probably a very bad time to be adjusting university articles, as they are rather sensitive to changes during clearing.--SabreBD (talk) 16:21, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Reverts to Led Zeppelin

As per Wikipedia:Overlink: Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead. (Emphasis mine). The Who has been linked to once in the article, in the very beginning, and this second linkage I added occurs much later. It is in no any way overlinking. It seemed ridiculous to link to the Rolling Stones but NOT to The Who, which occurred a word later in the same sentence. I'm also not sure why you removed the links to Stockholm and Copenhagen as they weren't linked to anywhere, and being rather major cities are certainly deserving of a link.

What to do

Salutations, almost everyday while patrolling I come across some IP who does mass changes to genres. Today, I found this one, take a look. Since this obviously isn't vandalism, very rarely someone reverts/warns them, and the first few times when I saw this, I did warn and mass revert them (it took painfully long). I am unfamiliar with these articles, but when IPs grossly start changing all the GAs/FAs without any reason, this is obviously disruptive. I feel uneasy just blindly reverting such edits and since I don't see everyone else doing it, I thought I was wrong/too harsh. What do you think? -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 09:01, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

No you were quite right to revert them, even though it can be a frustratingly long process. Genre warriors are a big problem on music articles. I usually just say that they need to take it to the talkpage, so the revert is under WP:BRD. If they persist there is a warning in the drop down menu for their talkpage to ask them not to make mass changes, so I usually leave a message with that. Most give up after a while. A few are more persistent. The truth is we do not have enough editors combating this so any help is much appreciated.--SabreBD (talk) 09:29, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your advice, I'll be more vigilant. I never thought this was actually a serious issue when I first saw the mass genre changes warning template. Have a nice day, Ugog Nizdast (talk) 09:55, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Humpty Dumpty's films

Hello, i am suprised that you reverted my contribution to Humpty Dumpty article, i thought that he appeared just in these, can you help me where i can find more about that? Where he also appeared? Thanks for your answer. Jirka.h23 (talk) 05:54, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I think this kind of list would present a problem for the Good Article status on Humpty Dumpty. A good place to start if you want to set up the article as a list is the IMBD here, where a number of films are given. However, I am not sure about the status of this page as a reliable source as it appears to be user edited. It is quite useful in that it gives the films and the actors playing the part, so perhaps a three column list would be a good idea. This is obviously not a complete list and there will be a lot more to find I think. Let me know if you start the article and I will do what I can to help and obviously we should link from the existing article.--SabreBD (talk) 12:29, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Infographic on the article for United Kingdom

Hi Sabrebd

I've cut the infographic down (removed the section of the image on health) to remove the issue of it cutting into the next section (on the three screens I've tried it on) and looks fine on a mobile browser too, I guess on a very high resolution screen it may look funny? If it's still a problem with your screens I can cut it down a bit more. I think it adds value to the article as it gives people a way of visually understanding the information. I didn't understand your message in the edit summary "on for the tp", could you explain it?

Thanks, I appreciate it. As a fan of architecture I thought it might interest you!♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:10, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for editing and reviewing this article. To me starting an article is just a sort of harmless hobby, like doing a jigsaw puzzle. It is interesting to see what shows up and how it turns out. Reviewing one seems a whole lot harder. Thanks again, Aymatth2 (talk) 23:07, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

The redirect was the right thing to do. I wish I'd thought of it - so simple, and yet the idea of doing it eluded me. Thanks. Rockypedia (talk) 18:19, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Many thanks for taking this on. As you may notice, it was half reviewed before, but the reviewer did not have time to finish the work. I am pretty busy at the moment in real life, but hope to be a bit more free after the end of the week.--SabreBD (talk) 19:09, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
Only some minor points, will pass as soon as addressed.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:20, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

The article Scotland in the Early Middle Ages you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Scotland in the Early Middle Ages for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Failed? Legobot having a bad day?--SabreBD (talk) 17:27, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Looks like it. I've fixed the article history template, and everything's in order now. (Obviously, the article did not actually fail.) Quadell (talk) 14:42, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Givors canal, another entry with Aymatth is at GAN if you're interested in reviewing. No worries if not.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:33, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

If you're uncomfortable with doing reviews can you let me know? I won't ask again if this is the case. I'm happy reviewing your articles for GA, but if you could do one or two of mine every now and then I'd appreciate it. Can you let me know? Thanks. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:30, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

No ask away its fine. I have just been a bit busy the last week or so and for some reason missed the previous comment in the thread. I will take a look at the article tomorrow all being well.--SabreBD (talk) 19:51, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps you could reserve it and review when you have a moment, no rush..♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:18, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

The article Scottish literature in the Middle Ages you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Scottish literature in the Middle Ages for things which need to be addressed.

Tomorrow the article will have been on hold for 7 days. If you need a little more time, let me know... Quadell (talk) 21:25, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
I may need a bit longer, probably until the weekend if that is OK.--SabreBD (talk) 21:59, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
No problem, I'll set the due date to 23 December (Monday). Quadell (talk) 18:47, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
