Article assessment: ORES

edit
Extended content

User:Fuzheado/ORES experiment. It sounds like it would be wonderful for use in teaching at an edit-a-thon. I'll suggest Fuzheado would the the best person to ask about any details. Smallbones(smalltalk) 17:22, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Could I use that to set the first assessment of my own articles? I typically set most to stub and let someone else assess..but this took suggests at least 1 (the one I tried it on) could be a C class...Or would it be inappropriate? ☕ Antiqueight chatter 18:34, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
Short answer - it's not totally inappropriate, but there should be some system set up for each project to do this. IMHO the classification system has not worked very well for 2 reasons
  • It's used only once (or never) for the vast majority of articles. It needs to be used more often to see how articles improve
  • Very inconsistent or biased grading
That pretty much makes it useless for most of the things I do!
So I suggest that a system should be set up for each project that uses it.
  • 1st a rubric or grading system set up to concretely explain what the article class means
  • 2nd a consistent way to reclassify an article.
At WP:NRHP there is an easy way to ask for a reclassification. Just remove the class and in a few days it comes up on a list, linked to the project to-do list that says "these articles need a class"
ORES probably would help with the "concrete" part of the rubric. As I see ORES, it shows how many "tools" have been used to make the article. Does it have enough text, enough footnotes, sections, internal and external links, photos, etc. to come up to the average number of tools for that class. Obviously people need to get involved in the actual grading, but ORES, if used right should be a major help. Sorry this was so long! Smallbones(smalltalk) 19:27, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Bias

edit
Extended content

First step with working with a site that collects articles like this one is to do a search on each source. "source name" AND "credibility" is an excellent way to start. See what other authorities in relevant areas think of them.

To support an argument or a point successfully, ones needs unbiased sources, or they are just utilizing sources that agree with them and that is rather useless when one is trying to make a point. To successfully support a point of view or idea one needs to utilize unbiased information.

To establish bias, or lack there of, one needs to again, research the author. Look at how the material is written- are they presenting information or are they using language mean't to sway a reader to a particular point of view?

There are some excellent resources available for examining bias. These are a good place to start

The Figlie del Coro was an all-women's orchestra in Venice in the 1700s. They were a phenomenon for about 100 years. Some of the players became celebrities across Europe, including an Anna Maria del Pieta, for whom Vivaldi bought a violin that cost him three months' income. Vivaldi wrote for the Figlie - including a whole notebook of compositions for her. But he apparently wrote extensively for the group as a whole (Haydn also wrote for them). Both Anna Maria and her successor, Chiara della Pieta, were hailed as the greatest violinists in Europe. One of them, Maddalena della Pieta, married and left the group, but toured as a soloist, and was sufficiently famous that she was covered by gossip writers. You'll notice the surnames. They were all from an orphanage, and the group began as a way to attract more people to Mass at the church that helped to support the orphanage. The group played behind a screen, lit from behind: the women were not necessarily pretty: they were not necessarily young (many of the orphans stayed their whole lives, working in and to support the orphanage) and a common source of unwanted babies was Venice's population of prostitutes, so many of the girls were born with diseases that did their looks no favors. So they used screens, and audiences raved about the hidden angels. The orphanage was trashed by Napoleon's troops in 1797. In 1997, the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC displayed a famous 18th Century painting of women, dressed in black, giving a concert from a balcony above the audience, the orchestra went unidentified.

Thank you for reply. I appreciate that it will take time to go through the notes and it is good to know that others with an interest in the subject can access and edit. I thought the information on Eithne's Strong career was limited so I am adding some more notes here

Eithne Strong nee O’Connell ( 1923 -1999) born West Limerick, Ireland was an Irish woman poet and writer. Patricia Boyle Haberstroh in Women Creating Women described her as having one of the longest careers among contemporary Irish women poets.[1]. Author and poet Mary O'Donnell in her forward-essay[2] to Strong's poems suggested that “ diversity of thought and impulse makes these poems radiate humanity, belief and a revelatory sense of justice.” The editor of Poethead Wordpress, Christine Elizabeth Murray has linked the poetry [3] of Patrick Kavanagh, Padraic Colum and Eithne Strong describing their work " as an example of the triumph of art and literature providing an amazing root-system for new writers in terms of earthly estate, land and language". Life and Career

Eithne's parents , John Quin O'Connell and Kathleen Lennon were schoolteachers. During her childhood, Breac Gaelic was freely used - Irish interspersed with English [4]. Her formative years were dominated by a strict Roman Catholic upbringing. She spent her secondary education at the Irish speaking Scoil Muiris, Convent of Mercy in Ennis, Co. Clare. In 1941 she joined the Civil Service (1942-43) and the Irish language movement [4].

Her earliest poetry was published when she was 19 in An Glor [2]. It was in Dublin that she met her future husband, the Freudian psychoanalyst and poet Rupert Strong, an Englishman and a Protestant whom she married at 20 [1] . Wilson/Sommerville-Arjat describe how Strong’s career as a poet was unusual at a time when Irish women poets were scant and how she continued to write throughout her life despite having nine children[5]. At the time of her death in 1999, she had published five collections of poetry in Irish, six collections of poetry in English, two novels, one short story collection Irish and one short story collection in English [6]. Rupert Strong was one of the founder members of the first and oldest psychoanalytic associations in Ireland, the Irish Pyscho-Analytic Association (IPAA).[7]

Eithne Strong's early work appeared in Poetry Quatros (Runa. 1943-45). Her first poetry collection, Songs of Living with an introduction by Padraic Colum was published in 1961 when she was 38[1 ] . In her late forties, Strong graduated from Trinity College Dublin with a degree in Irish and English and a diploma in education (1975) and combined teaching, writing and family. Her poetry has been translated into French, Italian and German [4].

She was born on the 19th of November, 1871. Her father Conway Edward Dobbs was a J.P., for County Antrim, High Sheriff for Carrickfergus (an Assize town) in 1875 and High Sheriff for County Louth in 1882. The Carrickfergus appointment was due to a long family association with the town. In 1690, Margaret’s family lived in Dublin then the undisputed capital of an undivided Ireland but she was soon to learn that it was an English city. In 1866, she expressed the desire to learn the Irish language. Her parents did not object. 

When Conway Dobbs died in 1898 Sarah and the children moved permanently to Glenariffe. Margaret was twenty-seven.

Margaret found in the quiet of the Glens what had been drowned out in the bustle of Dublin, spoken Irish. More importantly she found others of her faith who shared her love of the language and scholars like Hugh Flatley the Mayo Schoolmaster who were prepared to teach it. 

1904 as the year in which the Abbey Theatre was founded, the Glens remembered it as the year of the ‘Big Feis’. Look at our society’s book ‘Oh, Maybe it was Yesterday’ and you’ll see a photograph of the great Feis procession and up front Miss Margaret Emmeline Dobbs for whom life was only beginning. A member of the Feis committee from the start and later a tireless literary secretary, her Dobbs scholarship to a Gaeltacht College was the most coveted award in the literary section for many years.

Margaret who went off to the Irish College at Cloughaneely in the Donegal Gaeltacht. Often she would recall the hardships encountered by teachers and students in those primitive days. She became treasurer of the summer school and brought back to the Glens of Antrim the message from the Gaeltacht: know your own language. Protestant There is an unfortunate inclination to link the language with Catholics only but when Margaret Dobbs was spreading her gospel in the Glens she gathered around her a group of ladies from well-known Protestant families, names like, Young, Hutton, McNaughten, Richardson, who shared her zeal for the spread of the Language. One of them Rose Young is worth more than a passing reference such as this. Ostracised by her family because of her pro-Irish views she came to live with Margaret Dobbs at Portnagolan, Cushendall and died there in 1947. She compiled an anthology of Irish verse with the help of Douglas Hyde, the first president of the Gaelic league and the first President of the Republic of Ireland. Rose Young is buried in the Presbyterian churchyard at Ahoghill, Co. Antrim. I turned up at a Feis programme of 1930 to find Margaret Dobbs and Ada MacNeill on the committee and Rose Young with one J. Humbert Craig judging the arts and crafts exhibition. She went on to say: ‘Ireland is a closed book to those who do not know her language. No one can know Ireland properly until one knows the language. Her treasures are hidden as a book unopened. Open the book and learn to love your language’. Playwriting occupied a decade or more of her life prior to 1921. In all she wrote seven plays, three of which were publicly performed though one only was produced outside the Glens – ‘The Doctor and Mrs McAuley’ which won the Warden trophy for one-act plays at Belfast festival in 1913. Her plays were published by Dundalgan Press in 1920. In the Glens they were performed in what she described as a hayloft turned into a hall at the rear of the Glens of Antrim Hotel in Cushendall. One player appeared in all three plays. Dan McMullan the tailor of whom Lynn Doyle wrote in the December 1931 issue of ‘The Glensman’. ‘There was a great comic actor lost to the world in Dan, to all the world that is but Cushendall’. Nicolas Crommelin brother of the afore-mentioned Constance appeared in two plays. By far the most interesting play was never performed – shades of Francis the Incorruptible. It was entitled ‘A man and a brother’. Described as of three acts it ran to only 36 pages and must have been the fastest three act play in theatrical history. Miss Dobbs gave as her reason for its non-performance ‘fear of political misunderstanding’. When she sent the draft to Masefield he described it as the best constructed of her plays but added a prophetic note – the letter was dated 3rd January 1921: ‘I hope that we may see it acted, but I think the Irish world will change so soon and so much that it will be old-fashioned before we come over. However you would not mind that I’m sure’. Masefield knew her mind better than most, for the change that was to come was what she and others had dreamed of for years – Casement’s dream, Hyde’s dream and the dream of that fierce Republican Ada MacNeill of whom Pat McCormick, was to say, ‘Miss Ada’s alright, alright all the way’. But Margaret was not so politically outspoken as Miss Ada and she was probably satisfied to see the play in print.

Though she worked hard for ten years at her craft she failed as a playwright. after 1920 she never wrote another line for theatre. In the end Masefield quietly got his way. Her main interest she gave as research work in historical and archaeological matters. She had articles published in the Ulster Journal of Archaeology, in a German magazine for Celtic studies, in the French ‘Revue Cletique’and in the Irish magazine ‘Eriu’.

One in 1939 was a lengthy look at the Ui Dercu Cein a section of the Cruitne, the Picts of Dalriada and traced their development from about 500 AD till around 1030 Ad. In 1950 she was writing about the name Dalriada linking the name with a race of horse breakers and riders claiming descent from Conall Cearnach of Táin fame of whom it was said…so she noted ‘He was the third who rode a single horse first in Eire’. An article in Vol. 19 in 1956 looks at Lough Neagh and the traditions concerning it and shows careful research of genealogical tracts in Laud 610 (Bodlian Library) and to make easier reading of a transcript quoted she gives the English translation of a number of Gaelic names of people and places. Speaking of Casement she said: “Roger was my friend. He used to stay here weekends after his return, almost broken in health, from Putamayo.” (It was Casement’s exposure of the conditions under which the natives worked in this Belgian Colony, which earned him his Knighthood.) But because she kept her politics to herself we can only guess. Yet when Casement was arrested and charged with treason this lady from a more than loyal home did not disown him. When asked if it was true that she had contributed to his defence costs she replied without hestitaion: “Of course its true. Roger was my friend’. She played organ in the Parish Church in Cushendall while it lay within her power. Love of music and opera took her south and she was a regular at the far-away Wexford Festival. She read and researched. Like many other ladies she was in the Women’s Institute. http://antrimhistory.net/margaret-dobbs/
