Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/June 15, 2007

message: I apologize if this is not the correct venue to suggest this change.  Please point me in the right direction if I am mistaken.  I see three possible problems with this blurb, ordered from most to least bothersome:
# "Landfall" is wikilinked to the same stub twice.
# "...finally dissipated near the Great Lakes, when it was absorbed..." It would be clearer to say "where it was absorbed."
# "...strengthened to a tropical storm, receiving the name Katrina; then, it proceeded to make landfall..."  The semicolon-then-comma construction is needlessly awkward.  Omit needless words instead and say "...receiving the name Katrina.  The storm made landfall..."
I propose the following slightly altered new version: 
The meteorological history of Hurricane Katrina, an extremely destructive Category 5 hurricane, began on August 23, 2005 when it originated as Tropical Depression Twelve near the Bahamas. The next day, the tropical depression strengthened to a tropical storm, receiving the name Katrina.  The storm made landfall on southern Florida as a minimal hurricane. After passing through Florida, Katrina weakened back to a tropical storm; however, the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico allowed it to rapidly intensify to the sixth strongest Atlantic hurricane in history. Afterwards, Katrina made landfall as a Category 3 storm near Buras-Triumph, Louisiana, and once more near the Mississippi/Louisiana border. Following its landfall, Katrina progressed up through the central United States and finally dissipated near the Great Lakes, where it was absorbed by a cold front. (more...)

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

message: In the specs for the image/painting, the "current location" is given as"Louvre, Paris." This was no doubt true when the photographer took the picture, but in fact this painting is owned by the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio, USA. It was on loan to the Louvre for some months, but is now (as of March, 2011) back in its permanent home in Toledo. It is certainly misleading to still list this famous painting as in the Louvre, where any interested visitors will look for it in vain.Billcito (talk) 03:05, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Toledo painting is a smaller copy the same artist painted of his monumental original, with a significant amount of help from his student Girodet. The original still hangs in the Grande Gallery of the Louvre.  The copy is, of course, also an original David, since it was painted under the supervision of David himself. It was commissioned by a wealthy courtier who specifically asked David to create a copy his own original work. The Toledo copy can be easily distinguished from the Paris original by the brighter colors (especially in the arches in the background) and the presence of a spindle on the ground at the women's feet. The Wikimedia Commons contains images of both paintings, and either one would be appropriate to illustrate this article, but Billcito is correct that the version with the spindle should not be cited as if it were the one in the Louvre. --NikolaiSmith (talk) 20:24, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Also, maybe someone with a program guide can give a little more information about the activities, such as the art rooms, and more specifics to the panels.
