Singapore Airlines request for formal mediation

Hi, as the informal mediation in relation to the various issues regarding the Singapore Airlines article was not successful, I have now instigated a request for formal mediation on these issues at MedCom at this link. As you have been involved in editing this article in direct relation to the various disputed issues and/or have been active in discussion regarding these issues on WP:AIRLINES, previous dispute resolution attempts, or on the talk pages, if you believe that you are involved, then please take a look at the MedCom request, and add yourself and any issues as you see fit. Thanks --Россавиа ^Диалог 18:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the heads up, I will take a look and add some comments as appropriate. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FAC declarations

DM, I have just had to make two corrections on your FAC, and leave three talk page messages: very time consuming. Could you lend a hand and make sure reviewers and declarers are following WP:FAC instructions on your nominations, as that will save me time? Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:24, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, in future FACs I will keep an eye on this sort of thing and fix caps when appropriate. Thanks for your help, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks ! Besides getting reviewers "trained", I always worry that I'll miss something on FACs that get out of control. Some of those sig files take over the page and obscure everything else ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 04:17, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yes, I can understand the frustration. :) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 12:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WBOSITG's RfA

Hello Dihydrogen Monoxide, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in my RfA which was passed with a final tally of 114/10/4. I'm both shocked and honoured to gain so much support from users whom I admire and trust, and I hope I can avoid breaking that backing by being the best administrator I possibly can. I will take on board the opposition's comments and I hope to improve over the coming months and years. Once again, thank you! weburiedoursecrets inthegarden 20:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Hi DHMO; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 22:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for everything. :) It was quite a surprise to login one morning and find that I not only had one nom offer but three! Your trust is appreciated. And hey, they've taken the delete button away from the main page now so I can't do that much harm! :P Best, PeterSymonds | talk 22:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bah, why bother with RfA if you can't delete the Main Page? :D Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:10, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Over at my sandbox...

...there's something I hope you might be able to take a look at. I'm preparing (actually have been for a while, it's stalled for now) a discography for Manu Chao, modeled after the Powderfinger one. However, because of the convoluted syntax for some wikitables, I have not been able to get it to display how I want it to. Would you mind taking a look here to see if you can find the broken code (specifically in the "Singles" section) as you have quite a bit more experience in this area than I do? --Kakofonous (talk) 23:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking, keep your fingers crossed! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Looks exactly right. --Kakofonous (talk) 23:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. :) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:03, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FT/FA

Ashnard mentioned that you would be interested in helping promote the Smash series into FT? That would be really helpful, but I'm concerned about the original's GA demotion and Brawl's failed FAC. Perhaps this set of articles would be helpful?

Main Page - Template:B-icon History of video game consoles (seventh generation)

Articles - Template:FA-icon Wii, Template:FA-icon Playstation 3, Playstation Portable, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360

Anyways, if you need help, call me. I'm a little busy with 2008 Sichuan earthquake, but I can always spare some time for my original project.--haha169 (talk) 05:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ironically, I delisted SSB from GA...I plan to work on it to get it up to standard (and the series article too) since these are probably my favourite games outside the Age of Empires series (my scope is limited!). And on that note I know very little about VG consoles, but I'm happy to help with copyediting or whatever if you'd like me to. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 12:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. The B-class article is in serious need of lead expansion (though that isn't a big issue for GAN, but some details need to be filtered out, and I need some 3rd party help.--haha169 (talk) 23:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and if you'd like to peer review Brawl, I would love to have some comments on how else to improve the article to FA!--haha169 (talk) 03:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, will do! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's Your Fault!

Checked out DYKs recently? I received the following notice on my talkpage:

On 14 May, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Daddy Cool (band), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Since it was your idea to put one on there I think you should bask in the thanks I received. I notice they edited my suggested DYK but I can live with it. Once again thanks for the idea.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

:) Congrats! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 12:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My GA Reviewing

I have passed GA nominations with some sort of review or commentary. I am quite tired of being warned that I am doing the wrong thing (when it comes to GA Reviewing), etc and maybe I am. I am also conerned at the fact that beforehand I had never recieved any complaints about the previous articles I passed. And I noticed that it wasn't until the Friends Review that I began recieving these such messages. I know your trying to help, and I thank you for your efforts to help me understand exactly what I'm doing wrong. I am tired of recieving such comments (no offense to you). So I am asking you for advice. Do you think its time I quit GA Reviewing for good? Please reply at my talk page as soon as you can. JayJ47 (talk) 05:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Replied on your talk page. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 12:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editor Review

Hey there water, I have a new coachee that I've asked to go to Editor Review... She has potential, but has some areas that I think need to be polished... but hearing it from different people might be beneficial to her. Can you check her out for me, Wikipedia:Editor review/The Obento Musubi Balloonman (talk) 07:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Watchlisted and will look if I have time. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 12:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MGS Reception section

Just letting you know I'm currently working on a re-write in my sandbox (still a lot of work to do on it)‎. I'm going to set it out with the first paragraph being about it's sales, the second about what critics said about it and the third about it's legacy today. But I currently can't find anything about it sales figures other than "sold around 6 million copies", so the first paragraph is only one line. Do you know of any sites that might help me here? Buc (talk) 19:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't have time to look now, but have you tried The Magic Box? dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 02:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/NeXT

Please review again. Lead has been expanded, and other changes made. — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 21:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Will look ASAP. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 02:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Mentoring

H₂O, I was thinking of asking you about GA mentoring, after the recent issues we've had with FACs. I'm not really into starting articles from scratch, but do really enjoy either cheanup work or collaborative work with others to hone an article to perfection. To help out with this, I was thinking of getting into GAN, peer review and possibly some FAC work more. It also means that I can review articles on the train during my commute home from work :).

If you'd be interested in helping put together a mentoring programme for me, I'd be interested. I'm glad to help out, and it's something that I'm interested in doing, when I get a chance. Many thanks, Gazimoff ^Write_Read 22:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be delighted to. Not sure about a "program" as such, but what I generally do as part of WP:GAN/M is say "read WP:RGA and take a GAN and review it". Then I'll take a look over your shoulder and try and give you some advice/commentary. So go for it! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 02:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should. Or at least write about your faves. You need an FA one of these days. :) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 23:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A favor...

I've seen your thoughtful and insightful reviews, and I was wondering if you could take a peek at the M-35 (Michigan highway) FAC if you get a moment's time? Thanks in advance! Imzadi1979 (talk) 22:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gah, to be honest I hate reading about highways...I'll try to take a look, but I can't make any promises. :( dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 02:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Off-Wiki Correspondence

FYI - I plan on sending you an email about something I've been bouncing around in my head for a couple days. Your input, as my "adopter," is much appreciated! :) --InDeBiz1 (talk) 23:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GAN Reviewer of the Week

		The Good Article Medal of Merit
		Congratulations! Based on the number and thoroughness of reviews, I have chosen you as the GAN Reviewer of the Week for the period of 4/28/2008 through 5/10/2008. Congratulations! Dr. Cash (talk) 05:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aww, thanks! :) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 08:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA reviews

Hi there, I am writing to ask for a favor. Could you review both Macintosh Classic and PowerBook 100 (both at WP:GAN in the Computing section). I am eager to submit these to FAC as soon as they have passed GA. Thanks! — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 07:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can promise to try - you might get lucky. ;) dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 08:55, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Portal Intros

At Portal:Chicago, User:Cirt and I have been debating about the main imagery. There seems to be a current trend toward having a dynamic set of rotating images. Although the majority of WP:FPOs promoted last month had this feature, no current WP:FPOCs use this feature. He is in favor of converting the Chicago Portal in this manner using Portal:Chicago/Intro/Image. I have been against such a trend. We have debated on the portal talk page and our detailed opinions are there. In short, he thinks the feature adds dynamic artistic flair. I think that although the dynamic feature is good for giving variety in other sections of the portal, it is against the encyclopedic intent of the Portal because it does not introduce the portal to everyone in with the best summary. Does FPOC have a policy or do you as a director have an opinion?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 18:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your note.

As an editor, my opinion is in favour of random images; see Portal:Music of Australia, which I worked on and has rotation in place.

As a featured portal candidates director, I have no stance on this, and because there is no rule as to which method is preferred (as far as I am aware), I will regard opposition to an FPOC on the basis of the way in which images (or articles for that matter) are displayed as invalid.

In short, you are free to do what you wish, and this should not be held against you or your portal at FPOC. I hope this helps.

Hoodoo Gurus discography

Hey, we are trying to get this article/list in good enough shape to have it nominated as 'GL' status but since this is unknown territory for us would appreciate it if you could undertake a bit of a peer review of the article.... Dan arndt (talk) 01:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This has been asked here before...there isn't actually a GL stauts. It's all the way to FL. That said, I think you could get there

My fault it should read 'FL' status - in fact I've bitten the bullet and put forward the nomination - now will have to see what comments are recieved.Dan arndt (talk) 05:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Madonna GA

Would you mind taking a look at the article on singer madonna. It is currently a GA article but im quite sure it no longer meets that standard. On a quick scan, the lead is poor, there are a number of unreliable sources, a number of unformatted sources and the article is too long. Its unnessarly long, its 105,000 bytes while the Michael Jackson article is 92,000 (a great accomplishment considering his complex public life). Admittedly its not fair to compare the two articles that way but i think you will see that the madonna article no longer meets the criteria. What are your thoughts on this? Cheers. I have also left this message to Geometry Guy. Realist² ('Come Speak To Me') 02:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it's been a while since I passed it as GA (IIRC) and it has fallen a little...looking at the GAR. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bye?

I do hope you'll return in the near future. I've learned to ignore the hubbub at AN, AN/I and ArbCom, and just focus on FAC and article writing. I guess that doesn't always work for everyone. :/ Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 04:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded. Your contributions are much appreciated. Keep in mind that regardless of all cabal/Arbcom/talk page drama that occasionally results from working here, I among many others would have no idea who Powderfinger are if it weren't for your hard work doing what really matters on Wikipedia: participating in the free distribution of knowledge to people all over the world.

Doggystyle FAC

Hi DHMO, I put the Doggystyle article up as a FAC, would you mind giving your opinion on it ? - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 16:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Theft Auto IV GAN

I've been reviewing Grand Theft Auto IV at great length over the past few days, and I'm about ready to post my findings, but I'd like you to review them first. Would you like me to sandbox them first and point you to it, or post it on the article's talk page? Many thanks, Gazimoff ^Write_Read 20:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wherever you want to put them is fine, mate! dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 00:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thank-spam

Giggy, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to the best of my ability to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
