Your GA review of the article 75 Years of Friendship through Cricket Event failed: Can I renominate the article after I work on the suggested changes? Pharaoh496 (talk) 07:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Pharaoh496 and thanks for all the effort you have invested into this article. Yes, you can always renominate the article, see WP:GAN/I#N5. The next reviewer will probably read through the previous review to check whether the main points of criticism were addressed. It's usually best to either implement the suggestions or be able to present very good reasons for why they shouldn't be implemented, see WP:QF point 5. If you are unsure about the quality of an article, you can also ask for a peer review before a (re-)nomination. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:33, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Informing that I have renominated the article Pharaoh496 (talk) 16:13, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pharaoh496: That's good to hear. The sourcing looks better now but there are still a few unreferenced paragraphs in the body of the article. To be on the safe side, you could add references to them as well. If you need help identifying the unreferenced paragraphs, you could use the script User:Phlsph7/ListUnreferencedParagraphs. Good luck with the nomination! Phlsph7 (talk) 16:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thats i presume about the relations bit, unfortunately even on the relations portion i was unable to find citations.

i hope you re-review my article to be full circle haha

I think I'll leave the second review to another reviewer. Short articles like this one often do not take very long to get reviewed. There is a review backlog planned in March in case it hasn't been reviewed until then. Phlsph7 (talk) 17:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to see the archiving! If you open a PR or new FAC in the future, feel free to ping me and I'd like to review it further if I have the time. Best, {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 19:13, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb: Thanks for the offer! It seems that, despite the supports, it was not quite enough. I've already listed the article with the guild of copy editors. I hope to have another nomination once the prose and comprehensiveness concerns have been addressed. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:56, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm curious right now. Are you planning for nominating both Arithmetic and Algebra to FA after they passed GA? It's interesting that there are more users who nominate mathematics articles. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 08:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dedhert.Jr, I hope to get them to FA status at some point but I'll have to see how the response at the GA review is. It usually takes a long time for someone to review GA nominations of very wide topics like those two so it could be a while. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Good luck. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 10:31, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Phlsph7. Enjoyed working with you at Communication. Just wondering what you are up to, these days? Any interest in philosophy of law? Have been getting into philosophy of law, especially legal positivism, and one of its proponents Hans Kelsen, but to some extent precursors like John Austin, and successors like H.L.A. Hart. I don't have a legal background at all, but the philosophy of what is law and where does it come from and what is it based on is fascinating. If you know zip about this, I could recommend some intro videos by Jeffrey Kaplan, asst. prof. of philo at UNC Greensboro; a good starting point is Legal Positivism - the dominant theory in jurisprudence but all his videos are packed with information and a great intro. One tip before you even get into it: that's positivism as in, "that which is posited", not about something "positive" (as opposed to negative). Maybe calling it, "Legal positism" would've avoided a lot of the initial confusion about the term. Anyway, lmk what you are up to, would be fun to collaborate on something else. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 10:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page gnome) It seems they are gearing up to work on Semantics, which I am excited to see, personally. Remsense诉 10:10, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remsense Kaplan has so many good videos, I actually linked the wrong one, as far as an intro. I've corrected the link above, but feel free to continue the path you were on. But do look at this one if you're not familiar with positivism; it's a better intro. Mathglot (talk) 10:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remsense, you might really enjoy this one on proper names, which gets into the philosophy of John Searle. Mathglot (talk) 11:30, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're too kind to think of me! I'm gonna throw this on tonight. Remsense诉 11:39, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mathglot and Remsense, I have some basic ideas about philosophy of law mostly from studying related topics, such as natural law theory when reading about Aquinas. It sounds like an interesting topic to get into sometime in the future. I had a short look at some of the videos, they could be quite useful to get an initial idea of the topic before diving into the more technical reliable sources.

The article Semantics has taken up most of my time in the last weeks. There is still a lot to do so this will probably keep me busy for some more time. Phlsph7 (talk) 12:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again—I'm curious if you have any further thoughts on the linguistic structure diagram you took removed from Semantics! Coincidentally, I've been getting my hands dirty pondering how to rewrite Morphology a few rungs inward. While I am generally much more "familiar" with the inner rings, I have definitely appreciated how none of them perfectly contain the others at any level. However, in the broadest strokes, the diagram seemed fairly representative and helpful at the very introduction of an encyclopedia article, from what I've understood: phone → phoneme → morpheme, word → phrase, sentence at the very least is "true enough" for a visual aid while obscuring considerable complexity and dimension (for example, like that of written language as not wholly phonocentrically sourced), but it certainly seems that phrase → semantics gives me pause. Do you think some form of this diagram is viable? I would be interested in perhaps redesigning it, if so. Remsense诉 13:38, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Remsense: I agree with you that the diagram can be quite helpful to get a rough understanding of the relation between these different fields. My main concern is that the different fields are often presented as distinct branches in the analysis of language. For example, from [1]: One traditional distinction in language analysis contrasts pragmatics with syntax and semantics. The danger with the diagram is that readers might jump to the conclusion that semantics is a subfield of pragmatics and syntax is a subfield of semantics, which is not how the reliable sources usually treat their relations. If the diagram is taken from an author that makes these claims then one solution could be to attribute this view to them, maybe with an added footnote that others see it differently. Another approach might be to remove, add, rearrange, or relabel the levels in the diagram but I'm not sure how to solve the problem this way. The diagram is used in various articles so finding some kind of solution would be important. Phlsph7 (talk) 14:00, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I think I will start a discussion on WP:WikiProject Linguistics about this. Cheers, and thank you once again for your thoughts. Remsense诉 14:02, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Phlsph7. In your close of the Auckland GAN you observed cases where "which" should be replaced with "that". Personally I support that, but I wonder about the basis for it being a standard for GAs, given that it is a point of dispute (according to English relative clauses#That or which for non-human antecedents). Do we have a basis for it? I'll be happy if we do. Thanks. Nurg (talk) 09:35, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nurg and thanks for raising this point. As far as the GA criteria go, this would fall under criterion 1a about the article being well-written. Given that various style guides recommend using "that" for restrictive relative clauses, it's probably preferable to follow their suggestion unless there is a good reason otherwise. But this is a matter of degree and I wouldn't insist on this point as a GA standard or double down that the nominator changes it if they disagree. Phlsph7 (talk) 11:46, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
