[edit] Corsica wine

Good to finally see this article, since it was the last (major) regional article missing for France. I just added the wikilinks, and noticed that the German article de:Weinbau auf Korsika is actually "GA" (Lesenswert), a lot more extensive than the French one, and also illustrated with several images. Perhaps you're interested in adding a couple of them to the enwiki article. Tomas e (talk) 07:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Wow...that is a nice article. Thanks for the link. I'll try to finish off the article later today. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 16:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Champagne glass inside.jpg

Hi, Agne - I was in the process of moving Flickr-sourced images to the Commons so that their licenses can be verified and the images made available to other projects (you may have noticed that I moved some of your other nice vineyard and wine images - good finds!) Anyway, I ran across the above image - it's currently orphaned and has some contradictory licensing info, and it appears the original source has gone dead. Can we delete the image? Kelly ^hi! 15:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Looks like it is not needed anymore. I appreciate your work moving those images. Thanks! Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 15:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Agne - I nominated the image for deletion. For your future uploads from Flickr, I'd like to recommend Flickr Upload Bot (you'll need to have a Commons account). It automatically fills out the details for you and verifies the license, so you never have to worry about the copyright status being questioned if the photographer goes offline or changes the copyright details on the photo sometime in the future.

[edit] Corsica wine

On 28 May 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Corsica wine, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Trentino Cab.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Trentino Cab.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 10:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Brotherhood winery label.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stag's leap bottle.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Stag's leap bottle.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Million_Moments (talk) 19:36, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

New GA Review Process - Review Subpages

In case you haven't noticed, we initiated a new process for GA Reviews at the end of last month. The {{GA nominee}} template was modified to direct new reviews initiated on an article to begin on a subpage of article talkspace (e.g. [[Talk:Article/GA#]], where '#' is the current number of GA reviews conducted for the article, incremented automatically, starting with 1). The primary reason for this change is to address some concerns made by several Wikipedians that previous GA reviews are not easily accessible in archives, the way that featured article reviews and peer reviews are, since the review is conducted on the article's talkspace, instead of in a subpage of the featured article space or peer review space. The reason we opted to move GA reviews to article talkspace (instead of GA space) is to better maintain the personal relationship between editor(s) and reviewer(s) by keeping reviews done in an area where editors can easily access it. Nonetheless, we still desired to have better archiving and maintenance of past reviews, so that GA ultimately becomes more accountable.

When an article is nominated, the nominator adds the template using a substitution, by adding {{subst:GAN|subtopic=<name of subtopic for article at GAN>}}, as well as lists the article (as usual) at WP:GAN in the appropriate category.

When a reviewer initiates a review of an article, all that needs to be done is to read the template on the article's {{GA nominee}} template on its talk page, and click on the link to start the review. When the reviewer clicks on that link, they will also see some instructions on how to start a review of a GAN. For new reviewers, there's also a link to the Good Article criteria, as well as to the Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles page and the mentors list. Once an article is reviewed, the GA review page should be transcluded onto the main article talk page, by adding {{Talk:Article/GA#}} to the bottom of the talk page. This is to ensure maintain the transparency of the GA process, as well as to make editors of the article in question aware that the review is taking place. When an article is either passed or failed, there's really nothing different to do in the process, although reviewers are encouraged to utilize the {{ArticleHistory}} template, linking to the GA review subpage with the 'action#link' parameter.

Did You Know...

... that there are slightly more than twice as many Good Articles (4,266) as there are Featured Articles?
... that Giggy has some really neat and useful tools to assist reviewers in conducting their reviews?
... that there are ten experienced reviewers listed on the GA mentors list that can offer assistance or a second opinion in reviewing articles?

From the Editors

A GA working party has initiated discussion on ways to improve the Good Article project and processes. The goal of the working party is to come up with suggestions for improvement based on recent issues and concerns raised in the past, primarily in the wake of the Great Green Dot Debate of May 2008. The discussion can be found here. Members of the working party include: Dank55 (talk · contribs), Derek.cashman (talk · contribs), EyeSerene (talk · contribs), Giggy (talk · contribs), Gwinva (talk · contribs), LaraLove (talk · contribs), Nehrams2020 (talk · contribs), and OhanaUnited (talk · contribs).
