Instructions for nominators and reviewers

Nominator(s): Maury Markowitz (talk)

H2S (radar) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

My first addition in a while. This article has been in good shape for some time now, I did some GR touches and a read-over. I think it's good to go. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:53, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support from Hawkeye7

edit

I think this is a great article, and a magnificent effort. Just a few comments:

Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:02, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: Gebus Hawk, I totally forgot about this nom. All of the above are addressed, and a few "realized" as well. If there are still kilometers that's the convert template's fault. The METRIC issue is historical, these units were imperial at the time and I avoid changing units in these cases to avoid double conversion. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There was still one "kilometer"; the problem was an sp=us parameter which I have removed. Also there were still three "center"s, all corrected too. The order of appearance can be changed using the convert template order=flip parameter so no double conversion is required. I made a set of changes. [1] MOS::METRIC is not required since MOS conformance is not mandatory. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:15, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's it from me, I think. Hog Farm Talk 14:48, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm: All are addressed. Goebel link updated. Bob Shaw is the author of several well known books on RAF history. Maury Markowitz (talk) 01:01, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Maury Markowitz: - Anticipate supporting. Just got a couple wrinkles to iron first. The Air Intelligence report still needs the publisher/date, and just want to double check that Goebel meets SPS? Hog Farm Talk 03:46, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Date added, Goebel lists all his refs so that's good on that front. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:51, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support - with the comment that Goebel might be challenged further at a FAC source review, as those have gotten tighter lately. Hog Farm Talk 15:00, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HiHog Farm, I was going to do a source review, but am unsure if your comments above already constitute one? Gog the Mild (talk) 10:36, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gog the Mild I looked at sources a bit, but I wouldn't consider it to be a full source review. Hog Farm Talk 19:55, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Sturmvogel_66

edit
@Sturmvogel 66: Not one single reference I have, including the wartime originals, puts hyphens in any of these terms, so I'm going with that :-)
Watson's Radar Origins Worldwide hyphenates all radar bands. I'll grant you AI radar, but the others are simple compound adjectives which are only hyphenated if they precede a noun. So V-bomber force, but an individual V bomber.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:19, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm neither supporting or opposing as most of my list of words needing hyphens still have not been hyphenated, although some have been rewritten to not require a hyphen.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:01, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done.

Reword to emphasize that this was the aircraft carrying the prototype radar. And minimize duplication of info between the text and the caption

Done.
I'd delete the entire second sentence of the caption as redundant to the main text--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:19, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just removed this part, I was not entirely clear on what Lovell was saying in this passage.
Depends on the caption, note that ones that are fragments don't have the stops.
Fixed.
Added.
Yeah, not sure who added those.
Fixed.
The later, reworded.
Done.
Just copying the style from other articles of the type.
That's an argument I've had with other editors as I consider it excessive detail in an encyclopedia unless the aircraft is notable in its own right.
Fixed?
Not perfect, but I can't think of a better phrasing off the top of my head right now.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:19, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed.

I see ones from the 29th? For clarity, can you re-list any open items? Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:08, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's not difficult to see my 30 April comments and respond to them, everything else has been addressed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:59, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
G'day Maury, a few outstanding comments above need a response. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:25, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Peacemaker67: I'm not seeing anything here still requiring a response. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:06, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OKHawkeye7, happy to defer to your view. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:27, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
G'day Sturmvogel 66, can you clarify if you are supporting promotion or not here? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:15, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
G'day again Sturmvogel 66. Can you just clarify where we are here? Preferably in dot point form to ensure Maury understands what it is that needs to be done to address your outstanding comments? I'm going to archive this in a week if there are no further supports. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:30, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I remain baffled about why my first bullet point remains so hard for people to find. Maury feels no need to hyphenate words that I believe require them. Fair enough, but I'm neither supporting nor opposing.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:01, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - Pass

edit
Items used once or in only one section are in the former.
Why?
The chosen style is up to the author. I like this one because it saves clicking twice for an item that is only used once.
Has it? Someone else may have edited.
Please add the ISBN.
Added
I do not see any. Perhaps someone else edited.
Saward (1985) and Bowen, for example, have no publisher locations. Bowman and Brown, for example, do. Please be consistent.
Fixed.
Jones' ISBN is hyphenated differently from other works.
Fixed.
Did not add those.
Seems useful, its the original manual.
Perhaps that could be stated in the link description?
Added.
Both work fine for me?
Thay don't for me, and see [2], last two items.
Oh, I thought you referring to the actual images. Both links removed.
a is removed, b is fine.
Please be specific.
For example Saward 1985, Longmate; there may be others.
Fixed.
I added one isbn, if you can provide the rest I'll be happy to add them.
No, that is the nominator's role, not the reviewer's.
Can't find any additional ones.
The general rule is that if the source lists is references, which it does.
Which policy or guideline are you relying on for this "general rule"?
SPS.
Where it states "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications. Exercise caution when using such sources: if the information in question is suitable for inclusion, someone else will probably have published it in independent reliable sources." Could you be more specific as to why and how "produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications" applies and why the second sentence doesn't? Thanks.
It seems to have all those?
Are you citing a journal or a web page? The by line of the page - "The site for electronic design engineers" - would suggest the latter.
The article was published in print before the web site carried article content.

@Gog the Mild:?

Sort those out and ping me and I'll do some spot checks. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:02, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gog the Mild: Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:51, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Moved.
None.
Commented.

Gog the Mild (talk) 13:13, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day Maury, this one needs to be addressed for the source review to be completed. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:27, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed all references to Goebel. Maury Markowitz (talk) 19:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support from AustralianRupert

edit

G'day, Maury, I have a few minor comments; apologies if any of these have already been mentioned: AustralianRupert (talk) 16:07, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Got them all I think.
It was, but people keep separating out the last part.
Removed all except hadn't, which was the original term.
Sorry, I don't understand your rationale here -- are you saying it is a quote? If so, it should appear in quotation marks, surely? If not a quote, then you have the artistic licence to rectify this. AustralianRupert (talk) 17:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
37 is basically the entire book, 48 has no page numbers, 54 has them but they are not part of the original report.
Please see below for my follow ups: AustralianRupert (talk) 17:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
for ref 37 - how long is the book? I think you will need to provide some sort of page range ultimately unless it is very short
for ref 48 - you could probably provide the relevant paragraph number as they are numbered (you could use the |at= function in the template), or you could use the page numbers while making it clear you are using a facsmile edition/digitised copy of the report (not the original edition)
for ref 54 - as it is only four pages long, it is probably ok not to provide page numbers for this work
I'm not sure I understand the difference in this case?
G'day, yes, I agree that it can be hard to differentiate but IMO the further reading section tends to be related solely to books, I believe; I can see an argument that the minutes are a further reading item, so I won't die in a ditch over it, but I suspect you would be asked to move it if you took this to FAC. AustralianRupert (talk) 17:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Trying to get this to work.
Fixed.
Removed.
fixed
And I keep suggesting it to my spelling checker, but it continues to change this on me. I will do a run-through for these at the end of the process.
Fixed.
Not recorded in my sources. I assume this is "the operators".
Fixed.
Not sure it's REALLY needed for "this guy", but added.
Removed. @AustralianRupert:
Sorry, I missed this ping originally; I don't think it worked because it was not signed. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 17:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AustralianRupert: Anything more to add? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:59, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day, thanks for the ping, Hawkeye. I have added some follow ups above. Sorry for the delay -- have been in an an area without secure internet due to work. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 17:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I believe everything above, with the exception of hyphenation, has been completed in my last series of edits. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:03, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day AustralianRupert, when you get a chance mate, can you check if you are happy with Maury's responses? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Peacemaker67: G'day, apologies but no, at this stage my concerns have not been fully addressed. The issues outlined in dot points 3 and 4 above with regards to page numbering and use of contractions remain (albeit the citation numbers have been updated - now # 4, 28, 61 and Campbell in the Bibliography). The link for Campbell is still problematic also, IMO (dot point seven in my original post) and Longmate should appear before Lovell in the Bibliography (alphabetical order) - new point, sorry, I think I missed this earlier. That said, maybe I am in the minority here in stating these as issues? If the source reviewer doesn't think it is a problem, then maybe it isn't. Regardless, I am not able to specifically support at this time; I will not oppose on these nitpicks, either though, as my review isn't a full review anyway, so an oppose would not be fair. As such, if you wish to close it as successful on the basis of the earlier supports, then please do so. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 14:53, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Here goes:

1) Page numbers;

 #4 is Cunningham? I do not have the book and did not add that section.
 #28 is Green? It's three screens long and searchable, so I'm not sure what value this adds, but I have added sections anyway.

2) the URL for Campbell was missing a "f" and is now working. 3) I have moved the references to be alphabetic. 4) There appears to be a dangling issue with Further Reading above, but I just read the page on that and see no claims about it having to be a book. 5) Sturm's 30 April entries, which read 29 April on my screen BTW, have been addressed with the exception of the hyphen in radar bands and the second sentence in the caption. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is everything? Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day, I think I've given you a "bum steer" in relation to the citation numbers (sorry) - they keep changing, so I am clearly confusing myself. Let's move away from me quoting numbers and move to author/work names for clarity. Green is fine - you are correct about it being short enough; sorry, not sure what happened here (uppercut self administered). Cunningham, Shaw, the ADI K report and the British Air Int Report are the citations that concern me in relation to page numbers. If you did not add Cunningham, potentially you can get someone to check the page numbers over at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange. I confirm that the Campbell link now works, thank you. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 14:43, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
G'day Maury Markowitz, it isn't clear if AustralianRupert will support if these area addressed (perhaps he could clarify), but Sturm isn't. Therefore if AustralianRupert supports once his final comments are addressed, this can be promoted. If he doesn't, I'm archiving this because it doesn't have the requisite supports. It has been open far too long. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 04:29, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
G'day, PM, to clarify my original review did not look at the article as a whole, so I cannot support at the moment regardless of what is done regarding the page numbers. I would need to read through it more thoroughly to do so as it has been a long time since I read it the first time (June). I am happy to do this, if Maury wishes, in the interests of getting it over the line, but I am not in a position to do so at the moment -- travelling home at the moment after spending the majority of the year away from the family. Mentally I am not in the right space to read and fully comprehend an article like this one at the moment. I am sorry. When I finally get home (which is potentially in a week or so), I may be able to do so depending upon family commitments, but I would probably prefer to wait until the issues with the page numbers have been resolved. Incidentally, if other reviewers disagree with my request for page numbers, I am more than happy to strike my concerns and move on. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 06:14, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I added section numbers instead of pages. The only exception is the reference I did not add. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:15, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What about Shaw, the ADI K report and the British Air Int Report (per my comment at 14:43 on 16 Oct 21)? Have you asked at the the Resource Exchange if someone there can help with Cunningham? Regardless of what I said about waiting for this to be resolved before re-reading, in the interests of trying to get this review closed, I have gone through the article again and will post my comments/suggestions below. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have had time to re-read the article. Overall, I found it to be well written and informative, although a little colloquial in places. Nice work, as always. I have the following comments/suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 04:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added.
hmm, ok.
Added.
Added. Some re-work to make it read well.
Fixed.
Added.
Added for you. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This has been dealt with. AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That works.
The only mentions I found of any of these was in relation to the crash.
Fixed.
This is a proper name.
Fair enough. AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Late 1939, added.
This is still outstanding as far as I can tell, but it is a minor point and doesn't diminish the quality of the article, IMO. Moving on. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added and re-worded.
Changed to Combined Ops.
Ok. AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added.
yes.
Fixed.
Fixed.
Fixed.
Seems correct as is?
Either is fine grammatically, but the second seems smoother, IMO. Either way, it is a minor point, so I will not labour the point. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This has been dealt with. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Both fixed.
Not mentioned anywhere I could find.
Ok, no worries, thanks for checking. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added, hopefully correct as his position changed right at about this time.
Suggest adding his full military rank, not just his appointment, if known - I assume Air Vice Marshal? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added.
Reworded.
Fixed.
Reworded.
Reworded.
This has been dealt with. AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added.
Quotes removed... but which link do you refer to here?
Whirligig; added for you. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Added.
Fixed.
Most excellent work AustralianRupert. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:23, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day Maury Markowitz, this looks to constitute a much-needed full review now, so if you could address ARs comments we could look to get this up soon. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

G'day, I made a couple of minor adjustments per this edit: [4]. I remain concerned about the lack of page numbers for certain sources, but given my comments from 16 Oct and 6 Nov have been ignored, I will drop the stick and move on. I have added my support above in the interests of getting this one closed, but would strongly encourage you to rectify the page number issue before FAC if you head down that path. Once again, congratulations on a fine article and good luck with taking it further if you decide to keep working on it. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 04:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
