Belarus FAC

I am glad that you check by on occasion see the progress made. However, if there is one thing I might not be able to do, it is to specify the time when people eat dinner. The only thing I have found was a travel guide that says eat before 20,00 hours or prepare for the dinner from hell. User:Zscout370 21:46, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm working a bit more on what you said, I hope I haven't missed anything else. User:Zscout370 01:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

One more thing, about the template issue, it was reverted. I am not sure where this style method is from, but I noticed this also on Japan, an article about a country that is Featured. User:Zscout370 22:22, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for coming back and changing the vote. I should have known about people going away for the holidays, but I am glad you are enjoying the article. User:Zscout370 18:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Thanks! Though anyone can remove vandalism promptly with a high speed connection, Firefox, and WP:TWINKLE :) BlueAg09 (Talk) 02:37, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Not much edit warring going now - that means you did a great job in writing the article! I'm going to sign out in a few minutes - hopefully there won't be much vandalism overnight. BlueAg09 (Talk) 03:03, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Merry Christmas to you too! BlueAg09 (Talk) 03:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for everything. Not much edit warring going on right now. I think this one went smoother...then again, people are reading the article and what is written versus complaining, "Well, that can't be right. I'm an engineer. Those people are idiots who wrote this." All-in-all, it makes for a pleasant holiday season. Merry Christmas! — BQZip01 —  04:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Gotta admire creativity at least. Hell, given my last experience, I wouldn't mind someone replacing the entire page with GO LONGHORNS!!! At least that is easy to revert and there needs to be little discussion. Anyway, back to watching the page! — BQZip01 —  04:19, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Took the whorns an hour to start bitching...but as usual, no follow-through... — BQZip01 —  04:24, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

David Lovering

I've added citations after the quotes as you suggested (thanks for linking to that "When to cite" page; it's useful stuff). Could you perhaps reconsider your assessment of the article? Thanks for your review. CloudNine (talk) 15:17, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Have you had a chance to revisit this FAC yet ? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

I assume I can say Merry Christmas to you. Have a happy new year. 2007 has been incredible for A&M[REDACTED] pages. I am hoping everything is going well for you. best of luck for next year Oldag07 (talk) 20:07, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Ian Svenonius FAC

First off, thanks for your comments at the Ian Svenonius FAC. I wanted to ask you if there was anything else I could do to earn your support vote for the article. Not that staying neutral is a bad thing, but I'd like to see everyone completely satisfied that the article is up to spec before/if it gets promoted. Either way, thanks for taking the time to help me improve the article. Drewcifer (talk) 01:46, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Successful FAC

Thank you for providing comments on how to to improve the article at the successful FA nomination of Vasa (ship). Happy holidays and all that!

Thriving Cult

Thanks for the copyedits! Much appreciated. Cirt (talk) 05:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC).

• Just to keep you updated, I addressed all of your points from the FAC page, except for: Many, many sentences in the article read "So and so stated that...." Can you try to work on some of these to vary them a little? That will make the article read better. -- I will try to work on this one too, but I just wanted to let you know I addressed your other points. Cirt (talk) 07:22, 30 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Please see the FAC page. I believe I have addressed this last point of yours, I hope, to your satisfaction. Cirt (talk) 10:48, 2 January 2008 (UTC).
    • Again, nice copyedits, thank you! Cirt (talk) 03:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC).
• Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated. Cirt (talk) 03:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC).

Jim Bowie

I'm finding it hard to understand why your excellent Jim Bowie article hasn't already gathered enough support to sail through its FA nomination. Where are all those red-blooded Americans who remember the Alamo when you need them? :-)

Do you think it might be time to ask Tony if he'd be prepared to take another look and maybe support it now? --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 20:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The article says that Bowie considered himself a colonel, and so outranked Travis, but it doesn't say what rank Travis held in the army. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 20:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Mentoring the New Kid

La Grande Merci, Madame! I noted that the Acadia article missing a bit of attribution, so I tried to add one. The code-usage of wikidom may come to me with time. My next project is to enter a biography for Nicolas Denys. This is complicated, seeing as how so many sources (including Denys' writings!) are contradictory. It will be a bit sparse, since I will just not talk about any fact not corroborated or outright contradicted. I'm looking at other biographies in the 'pedia for style. Again,my great thanks! I want to be just like you if I grow up! LTC David J. Cormier (talk) 19:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

The Denys article is in the Misplaced Pages. It is much easier to deal with someone whose life has a beginning, middle and end. Best of luck with the Bowie article! I don't envy you having to unentangle myth and innuendo. LTC David J. Cormier (talk) 04:30, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Bowie

Hi Karanacs; yes, I will gladly take a look. As I recall you've reviewed at least two or three of mine, and I need to return the favour, so feel free to nudge me again if you have something else up for FA that you would like me to look at. I will head over to it now, but if real life intervenes I may not get to post anything till tomorrow. Thanks for the note. Mike Christie (talk) 20:47, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Suleiman FAC

Hi, i've made some recent edits as requested, please review whether your suggestions have been met. Thanks, --A.Garnet (talk) 18:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Campus of TAMU

First off, happy new year. next. I am trying to update the Campus of Texas A&M University page. I have a rough draft done, and I would like someone to look over it before I post it. Oldag07 (talk) 19:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Uh oh

Well, I've decided to apply to join the dark side. As a user with whom I have interacted, I would appreciate your input on my nomination. This is not a request for support, though any support would be appreciated, but simply a request for feedback. — BQZip01 —  03:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Z retired again

Z retired again. I had suggested in AN that such be enforced by a one year block, but nobody answered the suggestion. -- SEWilco (talk) 16:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the Barnstar. I enjoy doing the tagging and assessments, so you'll probably see me on your watchlist in the coming weeks (on Texas and Food and Drink). I want to retire that back log of unassessed articles on TX this month, and then see what else can be done on the project. I am curious, which articles did you create that I tagged?

Again, thanks for the pat on the back! Jacksinterweb (talk) 17:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom FAC

Thanks for your review of this article some time ago. DrKiernan has done quite a thorough copyedit for this article (separate from the League of Copyeditors) and (after my response to his suggestions) was satisfied to support the nomination. I was wondering whether you could look over the article again and check whether your concerns have been fixed. Whenever you're free, no rush:) Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 23:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

1988 Atlantic hurricane season FAC

At the end of December you left comments on my FAC and i was wondering whether you'd be willing to see if i have met your suggestions as much as possible and whether you feel you are now able to support this nomination. Seddon69 (talk) 00:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Bowie map

I think it might confuse people -- it is quite hard to read. I suggest leaving it for now, and let's get the article through FAC. I may be able to create a map for you -- take a look at User:Mike_Christie/Anglo-Saxon_research_resources#Maps for some maps I've created. If you think something like that could help, I'd be happy to put one together for you -- maybe one that duplicates the key information on the old map. Anyway, it can wait till after FAC.

Armenian Forgeries

The page which you have tagged for speedy deletion clearly does not belong in wikipedia, but speedy does not apply. I have removed your tag and replaced it with a {{prod}}, which will lead to automatic deletion in five days if no further action is taken. I will watch, and ask you to do so; if the prod tag is removed then the page can go to AfD. --Anthony.bradbury 21:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Please do not think that I was criticising you - I had no such intention. But if I delete as speedy an article which does not come under speedy criteria, the author has a cast-iron case for restoration regardless of the merits of the article. This way I hope to make it quick, clean and permanent. --Anthony.bradbury 21:30, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I must agree with you on this one, hopefully someone will re-edit the article to make it match[REDACTED] standards. Arsenic99 (talk) 22:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Armenian forgeries

Sorry about the Article deletion comment I made on Armenian Forgeries talk page. You're right about it. I later noticed that it didn't meet[REDACTED] policies and that it was indeed a lot of copying going on. However, I think the main reason for people to do this is because, the Armenian Genocide article is like on total lockdown by Armenophile wikipedians who delete anything that might hint that the Armenian genocide theory is not a proven event but a debated one that historians like Dr. Gunter Lewy (Ottoman History), Dr. Bernard Lewis (Islamic History), Dr. Stanford Shaw (Ottoman history), Dr. Justin McCarthy (demographic expert; Balkans expert), and Dr. Norman Stone (WWI historian) and many others all have disagreed about calling those events in the 1900s genocide. I remember when there were some people that did try and edit that main article but usually ended up failing in edit wars. I'm sure you've heard of the wikiality phrase, well this is one of the major cases of it. But thank you for pointing out that the article in question (Armenian forgeries) needed greater revision, or perhaps deletion. There are sources in that article that are extremely biased and I always wonder why great wikipedians don't ever notice it, perhaps its just too deep a subject for average wikipedians to tell who's biased and who isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arsenic99 (talk • contribs)
