Hi 7&6=thriteen, I reviewed [[Ablaq]] and the nomination looks set to pass, but there's one little issue regarding a missing inline citation that needs to be taken care of before I could approve. See [[Template:Did you know nominations/Ablaq|DYK nom]]. --[[User:Al Ameer son|Al Ameer son]] ([[User talk:Al Ameer son|talk]]) 23:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC) |

:Nice work. I confirmed the nomination. Though I suggest you change the word "fluctuating" in the hook with "alternating," per [[User:LadyofShalott|LadyofShalott]]'s comment on the review page. On a separate note, I'm quite glad you and Doug created this article because I've come across the term several times while working on medieval Islamic-era subjects here so it's great that [[ablaq]] is no longer an italic red link ;) Congrats! --[[User:Al Ameer son|Al Ameer son]] ([[User talk:Al Ameer son|talk]]) 02:10, 1 February 2012 (UTC) |

DYKs for 1877 U. S. Patent Office fire and Abraham Lincoln's patent
![]() | On 3 January 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 1877 U. S. Patent Office fire, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that despite the devastation of the second U.S. Patent Office fire (pictured), in a supposedly fireproof building, not one patent was lost? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I was guessing 10,000 views. We got 6,900 and maybe a couple thousand more as the world turns. Let's see how close I was on my Road to Prediction tommorrow night.--Doug Coldwell talk 00:15, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Great citation improvements to Christopher Werner and a great job in expanding the article. Doug Coldwell talk 22:59, 11 January 2012 (UTC) |

There are two Roman swords laying horizonital in the middle of the gates at handle level.
- Talk about confusing. The Swords Gate House may also be another new article.
- Later. --Doug Coldwell talk 23:20, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- I have seen this house at 32 LaGare St called Swords Gate House. Library of Congress calls it "Sword Gates". I have also seen it in several other places called Sword Gates House and Sword Gate House. I think someday I'll start an article on this property and try to figure out the correct name. I'll cross that gate when I come to it.--Doug Coldwell talk 12:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Later. --Doug Coldwell talk 23:20, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- According to this plague it is "Sword Gate House" by the Preservation Society of Charleston.

- Looks like an interesting subject to write an article on.--Doug Coldwell talk 16:41, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Did you know nominations/John Henry Devereux
Can you look into:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know_nominations/John_Henry_Devereux
I copyedited the hook line replacing the word "made" with "designed".
After you do what-ever fixing, then maybe drop a note to User talk:Drmies that we have fixed the problems and if he would now give us a "tick". Thanks.--Doug Coldwell talk 20:34, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Nice work...
You've been doing on those CFS articles. :) LadyofShalott 02:52, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Charleston Female Seminary (Massachusetts), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page First Baptist Church (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:01, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Copying within Wikipedia
The relevant guideline is WP:Copying within Wikipedia. Proper attribution is in an edit summary, and {{Copied}} on the talk page is a recommended additional step. WP:Plagiarism#Copying within Wikipedia has a little on why footnotes would be excessive. Flatscan (talk) 05:34, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Ablaq DYK Nom
Hi 7&6=thriteen, I reviewed Ablaq and the nomination looks set to pass, but there's one little issue regarding a missing inline citation that needs to be taken care of before I could approve. See DYK nom. --Al Ameer son (talk) 23:01, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

- It was all because of John Henry Devereux's use of the form. Glad to be of service. It is a useful word, and something that the culturally literate ought to know (or be aware of at least). Thank you. Will make the change you suggested. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:27, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- Good job. Kudos to you.--Doug Coldwell talk 12:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you, Doug. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Copyright violations
Thanks. I'm not really under siege; I just cut everything out of the article except a list of accomplishments and everyone agreed that was wonderful. However, my account was blocked without warning when the article was deleted, apparently on the basis of the article's chronological structure and "style" rather than paraphrasing. The blocking suggests an attack. This is a volunteer activity, after all, and I'm a prolific contributor. It will be difficult to justify the time and effort if that kind of thing starts happening.
