Nanotechnology selected content

Hey Dank, do you have any favorite nanotechnology articles or images? I'm making a list of selected content for Portal:Nanotechnology and I'm interested in your feedback. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 21:46, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

The list of articles looks good to me, but it's not my field. Great work. - Dank (push to talk) 21:54, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Spanish conquest of Guatemala FAC

Thanks for your comments on the review page of Spanish conquest of Guatemala. Malleus had pointed out that with the article being so long, it will be difficult to find reviewers, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could revisit the review... Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 08:15, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Well, now you've got supports from Malleus, who looked at the whole thing carefully, and Eisbfnore, who looked at a lot of specific points ... I'm going to be surprised if any of the delegates holds the article up for lack of prose review, but if they do, let me know. - Dank (push to talk) 12:50, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks Dank. Simon Burchell (talk) 19:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Favour to ask in relation to the Air raids on Japan article

Hi Dan, I'm planning to nominate the Air raids on Japan article for FA status in the near future. Would you be able to copyedit it prior to this? The article is larger and more complex than most FACs, and hasn't been significantly edited by anyone other than myself (though several editors have helped out) so an extra pair of eyes on it before it goes to FAC would be really valuable. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 07:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I can do that, but I like to take FACs in the order they show up, so let me finish the current crop of FACs first (I'm almost done). Please let me know when everything's been done but the copyediting, so that you can put it up at FAC as soon as I'm finished. - Dank (push to talk) 15:19, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

OK, and thanks! I'm going to work on the last section of the article, and after that it will be good to go. I don't plan on touching the rest of the article until it goes to FAC. Nick-D (talk) 22:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dan, I've finished my changes to the article's text. I'd greatly appreciate any help you could give with copy editing. Any comments on the article's content/structure/etc would also be much appreciated. Nick-D (talk) 05:29, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I should get to it today. - Dank (push to talk) 17:18, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Werner Hartenstein

May I ask you to have another look at the article as it stands now? I depleted it as much as possible from German language. Currently left are the German military ranks and one or two other instances where I am unsure how best to present the information. Example: University of Freiburg versus Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. MisterBee1966 (talk) 15:36, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I should get to it today. - Dank (push to talk) 17:18, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Best practice

Hi Dank, I was thinking of creating something like a best practice guideline for writing German military biographies here. Maybe this could be a starting point for a more generic help page. I want to avoid feeling like a dork again. (Is this an appropriate colloquial way of saying you feel stupid in English). Where do you think this is best placed and how to best involve potential contributors? MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:29, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the trouble, and I don't see how you're at fault; you wrote an article, put it up for reviews, and the reviewers liked it ... you were doing fine til you got to me :). I think the best place for the guideline you're suggesting would be the Academy; Eyeserene may have suggestions about how to proceed. - Dank (push to talk) 14:14, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Iraq War in Anbar Province

I believe User:Nikkimaria just Pinged you, but you might want to check with her first. Palm_Dogg (talk) 11:49, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

She's pinging you, I think, she's saying you haven't responded to what she's asking for. Have another look at everything she's hasn't struck yet. - Dank (push to talk) 12:15, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Bingo, though it's much closer now, so you could probably jump in if you want, Dank. Palm dogg, check out this script to see what I'm complaining about with that point. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:41, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
