Original Barnstar
Hello Happyme22. I've kept an eye on the Ronald Reagan article since commenting on the peer review and admire your resilient efforts to keep moving the article forward. There may be inevitable POV issues on an article as complex as this, and the job is a near impossible one, but the work to improve the readability and formatting on a major article is much appreciated.

New Reagan White House entertaning book
Hi HappyMe22. You may already know about, or even have, this new book, but I wanted to send you a link in the event you do not:
The book is written and edited by two freinds of Nancy reagan, both interior decorators, one of who worked for Ted Graber. CApitol3 (talk) 11:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Summarizing Reagan
Of course we all appreciate the work you have done on this article and making it what it is today. I do not mean to destroy your article. I agree that I may have gone too far in summarizing it the way I did, but since a summary was already available on the presidency page, I just used that. Currently, the way these two articles exist side by side just looks ugly to me. You say that the presidency article needs to be rewritten, and I am sure it could be improved, possibly by again copying the current presidency section in the Reagan article to that article. However, this does not change the fact that all this information should not be duplicated.
Again, your work is not being ruined here (at least not intentionally); material is only being moved, the detailed presidency article is still available. Who knows, perhaps it too can become a featured article someday (or maybe even today, since it is after all basically a part of a page that is already a featured article). --KarlFrei (talk) 09:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback
I made the changes you suggested at Tawfiq Canaan. I removed about 33 cites for Nashef (?!? - I didn't realize how many I had placed there. I've gotten used to having to footnote every sentence or risk deletion, working as I do on Middle East related topics. Even then, it sometimes doesn't help.) I also added the PDF link. The suggestion to do a separate article on his published works is a great idea, but will have to wait until I can find more sources. I've also added a couple of wikilinks and combined a couple of sentences for flow.
Thanks so much for your feedback and encouragement. Tiamut 01:58, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Yay! Thanks. Tiamut 04:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
Re: Nancy Reagan
I have no clue how Today's Feature Article was chosen. It was chosen by User:Ral315 OhanaUnitedTalk page 17:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, OhanaUnited meant the similarly-named Raul654 -- he's the one who is responsible for choosing featured articles. You can ask him, but I do believe that's exactly what you need to do -- just add Ronald Reagan there sometime closer to February 6 (bearing in mind that only 5 requests can be up at any time).

- Not a problem -- it's certainly not the first time it's happened :) Ral315 (talk) 20:11, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
