Swiftwater, Mississippi

I want to add something to the article, but don't want to tinker with that amazing picture or its location.

Just do it (if you didn't already)... we can work out the layout later. I tried putting the image in the infobox too, which looked good, but it made an awful lot of whitespace. That's another possibility if we can get some more content in there.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 07:09, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Camp Aliceville

On 25 March 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Camp Aliceville, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that German POWs, held in Camp Aliceville during World War II, could take courses taught by University of Alabama faculty and receive credit recognized by the Nazi Reich Ministry of Education? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Camp Aliceville. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for this article Victuallers (talk) 19:17, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

• What an excellent job, Alf. I was very proud to see you on the front page, with an excellent hook. Drmies (talk) 22:07, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Well, thanks very much to both of you! I have a number of other sources coming in by ILL, so I should be able to fill the article out a little more at some point. I was surprised to see the number of these POW camps that are still redlinked. So much to do!— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 22:12, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

It's now featured on Portal:Germany (where the Goethe Oak was just archived), - feel free to put the next DYK related to Germany there yourself, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:28, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! I didn't even know about that portal.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 22:43, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Here's more, even one of the designers speaking ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:48, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Precious

surprising facts on hot topics
Thank you for quality articles, such as Camp Aliceville, offering surprising facts on hot topics, for a clean and informative userpage with a clean-up plan, for improving 1001 articles with expressive edit summaries, for helpful reviewing, and making friends with bible quotation (Matthew 6:26–30) and poetry, - this mortal can't keep the secret that you are an awesome Wikipedian!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:53, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Oh, thank you! You're very kind; maybe too much so... but thank you.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 12:18, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Sexism

Hi. I see you have removed my edit at Sexism on the section on Criminal Justice about Provocation (legal). Maybe it was not well written, probably too much detail; but I do think it has to be mentioned. There is very much literature on this issue; and this legal defense being considered gendered is the reason why is has been recently abolished or restricted in some Australian states/territories and other jurisdictions. I don't think it was WP:SYN, since the sources directly address discrimination against women. I think that especially given that the text about criminal sentencing in that section - which is very problematic - is allowed to stay, at least a short mention of one paragraph on provocation should be left in.2A02:2F0A:508F:FFFF:0:0:50C:31E4 (talk) 14:46, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

OK, I'll move this to the article talk page and respond there so others can participate.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 14:47, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
