Hello Wizardman,

You commented yesterday on the review page for ], noting stability concerns. I suspect you were merely there to ensure that the review by Oakley77 was in order, but since you passed by, I wanted to solicit your opinion on one aspect of the page. Among the most historically contentious aspects of this person's biography is his role in the suppression of Falun Gong. This morning, the paragraph elaborating on this was deleted. The accompanying talk page discussion is here. I'm not sure about the degree to which you're familiar with this individual or Chinese politics in general, but I don't think it matters. An evaluation of this content from an uninvolved veteran editor would be invaluable, and could help mitigate ongoing disputes. Thanks, ] (]) 15:04, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: Music of the Sun GAT

Hi, I was wondering what the status of this nomination is now as I nominated it over 3 months ago now. Aaron • 11:59, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Peer review request

Hi Wizardman. I've been working on a new article, Doc Adams, extensively over the last six months and have eyes on getting it to FA status. I would be a newcomer to FAC from the nominating side and need all the help I can get. If you have some free time in which you're not working on any of your projects, would you please consider offering some thoughts at an ongoing peer review? I'd really appreciate it, and we could always use more baseball FAs. Giants2008 (Talk) 14:06, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Request for help from Oversight

An editor made some changes to an article that I created and edit occasionally as time permits. This user has attempted to "out" me in the revision history of that page, (The Necronauts), on an edit completed at 23:35 on 10 May 2012. This anonymous user also consistently deletes details for which I have included reference material. This user appears to perhaps be Snatchproof81 or Revisionists, both of which have been suspected sockpuppets of Electronado, who has harrassed me in the past. Unfortunately, my willingness to expand[REDACTED] (since I created that page) has backfired on me as it appears that possible band members or acquaintances have some personal COI. I would appreciate your help in rectifying this issue. Thank you. Desertally (talk) 16:38, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Jessica Dykstra... again

She and I have become somewhat friendly, and she recently texted me some info on her career. She will be in an upcoming Michael Bay movie with The Rock and Mark Wahlberg and Dr. Bello with Isaiah Washington and Vivica. A. Fox. She will also be representing the U.S.A. in the Miss World 2012 contest. She has write-ups in Global Grind and the New York Times. I think she's done enough to have her article brought back.--Johnny Spasm (talk) 12:47, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

I ask you because you are the one who deleted it. I figured simply recreating it without talking to the person who deleted it is a[REDACTED] naughty, but if you don't care, then fine. I'll probably recreate it in the near future. As I state in my comment, she and I have become somewhat friendly. She tells me what is going on in her career, and asks me if I think she's gotten big enough to have her article restored. I tell her I'll find out. Gimme a break, a 24 year old girl isn't supposed to be flattered when someone creates a[REDACTED] article about her?--Johnny Spasm (talk) 19:41, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Oakley77 GA reviews

It's beyond my competency to reverse the five GAs that Oakley77 put through. You said in the GAN talk page that we need to reverse them, but I don't know how, nor do I know any of the precedents for doing so, or what has traditionally been done when rogue reviewers have had to have their work undone or redone. What the nominators deserve are actual reviews by a competent reviewer; it seems harsh to put them through a reassessment when what they need is a good initial assessment.

Is this something you can do yourself? I've had articles reviewed, but I've never done a review myself because I don't feel fully competent to get all the details right, and something like this is too important to screw up. (I'm also fairly busy these days over at DYK, which has much less stringent standards.) What can be done at this point? BlueMoonset (talk) 00:35, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Your comment is sought

Hello Wizardman,

You commented yesterday on the review page for Bo Xilai, noting stability concerns. I suspect you were merely there to ensure that the review by Oakley77 was in order, but since you passed by, I wanted to solicit your opinion on one aspect of the page. Among the most historically contentious aspects of this person's biography is his role in the suppression of Falun Gong. This morning, the paragraph elaborating on this was deleted. The accompanying talk page discussion is here. I'm not sure about the degree to which you're familiar with this individual or Chinese politics in general, but I don't think it matters. An evaluation of this content from an uninvolved veteran editor would be invaluable, and could help mitigate ongoing disputes. Thanks, Homunculus (duihua) 15:04, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
