Filmography tables

edit

Hi Bradley, I just wanted to thank you for updating a few filmographies by removing rowspans. The sortability issue is important and it's great that editors like you are making efforts to improve it. I thought you might not be aware that you can take the sorting a step further by adding sort templates to titles that begin with "A", "An" or "The" so that the title sorts by the second word. For example in Susan Hayward#Filmography, a simple film title like ''[[The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse]]'' would be written as ''{{sortname|The|Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse}}'' so that it sorts by "A" (Amazing) rather than by "T" (The). If the title has a disambiguation such as ''[[The Sisters (1938 film)|]]'' it would be written as ''{{sortname|The|Sisters|The Sisters (1938 film)}}''. I'm happy to update the tables to include the sorting, but I thought it might interest you if you're updating any others. Cheers. Rossrs (talk) 22:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I forgot to mention, if you want to sort the title, but not make it a red link, this one from Faith Domergue#Filmography would go from ''The Sky Burns'' to ''{{sortname|The|Sky Burns|nolink=1}}'' and it will sort by "S" instead of "T". If you don't add "nolink=1" it will create a red link. Cheers. Rossrs (talk) 22:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

No problem. If you're doing drive-by tabling, that's a step in the right direction anyhow. I wasn't sure if you knew about sort templates, so decided to mention them. At WT:ACTOR, yes I do support the tables to be set out by title of work, because that is the key field in the filmography. I wouldn't roll it out unless there seemed to be wider support for it. There's been very little discussion at WT:ACTOR. I presented it at WP:ACTOR as a viable alternative using Sharon Tate's filmography as an example. It's not that I think having the date column first is wrong, just that having the title first is semantically more "correct" to me. I added it at Robert Duvall#Filmography to see if anyone commented but nobody did. I think it looks quite good. I also noticed that another editor used the same format at Natalie Portman#Filmography but after a period of weeks/months, another editor changed it back to date column first. What are your thoughts? Rossrs (talk) 23:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Also Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lists of works)#Filmographies indicates that bulleted lists be presented as "title, year, notes", so it seems inconsistent that most of the tables switch the order and put the date first. Rossrs (talk) 23:52, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
It's still a chronological table, because it's presented in chronological order, only with the key data, the title, presented first. I don't get that the date is demeaned by putting it second. That's the recommended option for bulleted film lists, so I don't see why the date assumes greater importance simply because the data is presented in table format. Even IMDb lists its filmography by title, role played and then date. They put the date last in their chronological filmographies but that doesn't mean it assumes lesser importance. The colour is subtle, but if it's right to use subtle colour in the column headers, it's equally right to use subtle colour in the row header, and the first column is a row header regardless of what data it contains. The first time I saw it, I admit was somewhat taken aback because it looks so different to what I was used to, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's the more correct way of doing it. Rossrs (talk) 12:41, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
I agree with you. There is a problem in having multiple options for achieving a particular task (and I can't think of any website other than Wikipedia that would tolerate it) and there are considerably more than 2 filmography formats in use throughout the project. I can think of about 6 formats straight up that are in use. It would be great if the project could identify one, preferably the 'best' one, and consider it the default, site-wide preference. The whole project is riddled with inconsistencies (and, again, I can't think of any website other than Wikipedia that would tolerate them) - different citations styles, each considered as acceptable depending upon the article and the editors who edit that article, inconsistent use of colour in such things as infoboxes, and of course, filmographies. I also agree that it is likely to be an area of conflict, but that's nothing new. The constant reverting of rowspans back into tables where they break the sorting and damage the accessibility of the table, being just one example of conflict that is already happening.
It would be good if something could be worked out, but I don't know how to even go about tagging them. It's so random. Rossrs (talk) 07:39, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please do not "fix" redirects

edit

Please do not "fix" or bypass redirects per WP:NOTBROKEN. Thanks. Xeworlebi (talk) 15:05, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Oh, thanks, that's very timely. Can you show me where I "fix"ed any redirects? Bradley0110 (talk) 15:10, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Take your pick from any of the past ±70 edits were you changed [[Anthony Stewart Head]] to [[Anthony Head|Anthony Stewart Head]]Xeworlebi (talk) 15:17, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
By putting fix in quotes marks, you're implying that I said it at least once and that it was my rationale, which it wasn't. Can I assume you're only reverting edits to the articles where I piped the links, e.g. Buffy-related, rather that ones in which I corrected his credited name (Little Britain, et al)? Bradley0110 (talk) 15:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
To clarify: edits such as this are not necessary, and per WP:NOTBROKEN they are not recommended. On the other hand, reverting them is not necessary either. rʨanaɢ (talk) 15:43, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Rjanag, I'm not disputing (and not suggesting you are accusing me of) the reasons behind NOTBROKEN (in fact I think the third point is quite relevant to this situation). On the other hand, many of those articles have both Anthony Stewart Head and Anthony Head links, which looks a little ridiculous. Bradley0110 (talk) 15:46, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I haven't looked at edits other than the one I just linked above, so I don't know the precise circumstance. in the situation you are describing, the best thing would just be to remove the additional links entirely (per WP:OVERLINK, unless there is some other reason to keep them), and make sure the article is standard in using one name or the other (regardless of how it's linked). I don't know about Head's other work, but I know in Buffy he always seems to be credited as Anthony Stewart Head, so that's probably the name to go with in those articles. rʨanaɢ (talk) 15:49, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
That's what I was going for; the article used to be at Anthony Stewart Head but was then moved to Anthony Head (a good few years ago actually) to reflect the name he is more often credited as. It seemed prudent to me that the articles should reflect the name he is credited with (i.e. Anthony Stewart Head in Buffy and some other US series, and Anthony Head in nearly everything else). I'm sure I once read that redirects increase server load (or something like that) but I may have been thinking of something else). Bradley0110 (talk) 15:54, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I'm not implying anything, bypassing redirects is not helpful, the opposite actually. The quotes is just how WP:NOTBROKEN puts it, and many bypass redirects under the pretense of fixing it. And I only reverted your edits when they appeared on my watch-list. The subject should be in the article as credited, if that's a redirect then there's no problem, and you shouldn't go bypass it. "Fixing" redirects (or bypassing as you have named it) is almost never an improvement, in fact a redirect is in most cases better than piping. Xeworlebi (talk) 16:11, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Ultimately, WP:NOTBROKEN is a guideline, not a policy. And please don't lecture me by repeating things that I have already said. Bradley0110 (talk) 16:18, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Main page appearance: James Nesbitt

edit

This is a note to let the main editors of James Nesbitt know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on January 22, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 22, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

James Nesbitt (born 1965) is a Northern Irish actor. Nesbitt got his breakthrough television role playing Adam Williams in the romantic comedy-drama Cold Feet (1998–2003), which won him a British Comedy Award, a Television and Radio Industries Club Award, and a National Television Award. His first significant film role came when he appeared as pig farmer "Pig" Finn in Waking Ned (1998). With the rest of the starring cast, Nesbitt was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award. In Lucky Break (2001), he made his debut as a film lead playing prisoner Jimmy Hands. The next year, he played Ivan Cooper in the television film Bloody Sunday, about the 1972 shootings in Derry. Nesbitt has also starred in Murphy's Law (2001–2007) as undercover detective Tommy Murphy, in a role that was created for him by writer Colin Bateman. Nesbitt has since appeared in several more dramatic roles; he starred alongside Liam Neeson in Five Minutes of Heaven (2009), and was one of three lead actors in the television miniseries Occupation (2009) and The Deep (2010). He also starred in the movies Outcast (2010) and Emilio Estevez's The Way (2011), and has been cast in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit (2012/13). (more...)

Proposed deletion of File:David Morrissey Deal.jpg

edit
 

The file File:David Morrissey Deal.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Decorative use in David Morrissey#2000s. While it miay be true that Morrissey won critical aclaim for his portrayal of Gordon Brown, the reader does not need to see this particular image to understand any of the relevant content regarding the Morrissey's portrayal. In addition, the image itself is not the subject of a sourced commentary, so the context required by WP:NFCC#8 is lacking.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:01, 6 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Peer review newsletter #1

edit

Introduction

edit

Hello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:

  • THANK YOU! I want to thank you for your contributions and for volunteering on the list to help out at peer review. Thank you!
  • Peer review is useful! It's good to have an active peer review process. This is often the way that we help new or developing editors understand our ways, and improve the quality of their editing - so it fills an important and necessary gap between the teahouse (kindly introduction to our Wikiways) and GA and FA reviews (specific standards uphelp according to a set of quality criteria). And we should try and improve this process where possible (automate, simplify) so it can be used and maintained easily.

Updates

edit
It can get quite lonely tinkering with peer review...
With a bit of effort we can renovate the place to look like this!

Update #1: the peer review volunteers list is changing

edit

The list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:

  • {{PRV|JohnSmith|History of engineering|contact=monthly}} - if placed in the "History" section, JohnSmith will receive an automatic update every month about unanswered peer reviews relating to history.
  • {{PRV|JaneSmith|Mesopotamian geography, Norwegian fjords|contact=annually}} - if placed in the "Geography" section, JaneSmith will receive an automatic update every yearly about unanswered peer reviews in the geography area.

We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times.

Update #2: a (lean) WikiProject Peer review

edit

I don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months.

So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members.

Update #3: advertising

edit

We plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned!

And... that's it!

I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Inactive peer review volunteer

edit
 

Hi Bradley0110, you're receiving this message because you were previously listed at the list of volunteers for Wikipedia's peer review process, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over 1 year.

Because of your inactivity, you have been removed from the volunteers list, so that the list is kept up to date and editors who do need help can better find active editors. If you become active again and would like to add yourself to the volunteers list again, you can do so at any time by visiting the volunteers list.

Thank you for volunteering to be on the list previously, and all the best on your WikiVoyages! Message delivered to you with love by Yapperbot :) | Is this wrong? Contact my bot operator. | Sent at 18:01, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
