Bristol Harbour revert

You reverted my edit based on 'Remove ungrammatical expansion, the prose is fine as it is.' However you also removed the extra info I had added that is in one of the refs - that not only the ship but also the cargo stowage had to be in good order for a ship to be 'ship shape and Bristol fashion' as the list due to being beached meant the cargo had to be very secure so as not to move. The other edits I did were mostly rewording the existing text to fit the extra info in and to remove (what I thought) was an implication that owners had an option to strand their vessels where-as (I understand) they had little option to do so. Perhaps you could reinstate my edit and alter the grammar if still needed?

Cal Poly Pomona

I checked the dead links at the start of the review. I did not recheck them, but I will check them now. Thank you for pointing them out. I removed the [citation needed] tag in the table of colleges, because citations would have been needed if the year that the college was founded was specified, but it was not. I failed to notice the third [citation needed] tag, and I regret that error. What is the procedure for correcting my mistake? Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 03:07, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

I believe that the nominator has resolved the remaining issues. Racepacket (talk) 06:10, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it seems so, now. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:15, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Taylor series GAN

Hi, why is Talk:Taylor series/GA1 being requested for speedy deletion? Sławomir Biały (talk) 19:34, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Because it is a review page accidentally started by the nominator who left a note there. I transferred the note to the article talk page. If the accidentally started (non)review stays it just means the GANbot reports it as being under review, when it isn't. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I see. Thanks for the explanation. Sławomir Biały (talk) 19:43, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics)

Hey Jezhotwells. I have nominated G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics) for GA reassessment after much thought. I did challenge the information but they want to keep it and I feel that it does not comply with the GA. One editor made a point on the talk that the GA review was a month ago, but still you reviewed the article fair and square and there was not large sections of the article with unreliable refs. It is almost asif they wqaited until it passed, then created a firewall to keep me at bay. Because I have been reverted each time I tried to make a positive change. Anyway, on another note two editors have been helping me with the prose issdue I had. So I am glad I took your advice! And a big congrats on the GA Drive and all the articles you managed to over see.Rain the 1 ^BAM 20:12, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

For taking care of this. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

From WikiProject Table tennis

Hello there. You have placed a template on a page I have recently created: Ruth Aarons. With this template you ask for more sources. However, I have included in the page a link to the official database of the International Table Tennis Federation listing the complete list of achievements of the player Ruth Aarons.

Since I've created the wiki page for several other table tennis players, it could be important to understand if the link to the International Table Tennis Federation database is enough.

BLP articles usually require more than a cite to a stats database. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:36, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

I have added two more references to her biografy. Cialo (talk) 11:20, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

That's much better, thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:27, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

GAN-Q

Hi, I had a question that wasn't answered among the FAQ. Today an editor opened up a review page on an article I wrote and nominated for GA. The review was started, but he immediately said he wouldn't be able to do a "thorough review" until the weekend, then wrote a few recommendations based on the Lead section. This is only my second nomination, so my question is: Is this practice normal or acceptable? It seems odd to open a review page, then say "I'll review it later". Relevant discussion at: Talk:Coffin birth/GA1. Thanks. Boneyard90 (talk) 21:27, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, Spinningspark, is an experienced editor and has undertaken quite a lot of GA reviews. I suggest that you ask him, not me. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:15, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

An experienced editor? Good enough. Thanks. Boneyard90 (talk) 00:19, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Moonrise

I've replied to your request to explain the usage of certain references in the article Moonrise (Warriors), so I thought I'd notify you in case you didn't notice. Thanks, Brambleclawx 22:02, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Responded. Brambleclawx 22:46, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

problem section

You need to review your edit at User_talk:Wizardman in light of how it messes up the new section I added after it. Dicklyon (talk) 03:30, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

It worked when you put a section heaqding in, so I really don't see a problem at my end. Jezhotwells (talk) 08:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

It didn't. But this guy fixed it by editing your section: [1]. Dicklyon (talk) 15:06, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, sorry about that. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:25, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Rcsprinter123

I've made a pledge not to review anymore GANs, or do any "bad" edits until this time next year. I'll just focus on writing articles in userspace, and then promoting them for a bit. I'm also going on a two week WikiBreak soon too. ^{Userboxes can be misleading. Age.} Sorry, Jezhotwells. Rcsprinter^{Gimme a message} 15:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the apology. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Care to take a picture?

Hi, completely by accident I noticed that you live in Hotwells, which is close to where the Pneumatic Institution was located. If you have the opportunity and would be so inclined, it would be great if you could snap a quick one or two, assuming User:Andy Dingley doesn't beat you to it (I don't know which of you two lives closer, has more time, ...). How about it? -- Nczempin (talk) 22:20, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, will see what I can do, but I am rather busy over the weekend. Probably early next week. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:23, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

There is no rush. WP:TIND. Thanks for considering it. --

Miami Showband killings

Thanks for doing the review. You'll have to forgive me, but I'm hopeless when it comes to formatting refs. As far as Google is concerned, do I say Dillon, then list the page number, then the publisher, and then do I say I retrieved it from Google? I have added a rationale for the Miami Showband image as it's being used on the Main article. By the way, that article was created after I had uploaded the image, hence it had no rationale for it. Should I go ahead and remove those two UDR images that are of questionable use? Thanks.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:19, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

May I make a request? In order to address the issues raised: refs, etc. could you please extend the deadline longer than 7 days? That would give me time to fix everything. Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 11:37, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 16:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Gery Chico

I apologize. On the 13th and 14th, I was in heated talk page debate at Talk:Amazing Grace. I missed it. I would have passed the article.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:09, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, we will see what happens if it is taken to GAR. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:13, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree with your decision and have taken this to GAR. See Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Gery Chico/1. Best, Geread (talk) 05:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, would you be so kind to delay the on-hold period of GA review of the above article a little? Thanks, --Eisfbnore ^talk 20:56, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

OK, is 20 April OK? Jezhotwells (talk) 21:07, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Too kind, I'm actually planning to take it tomorrow! ;-D --Eisfbnore ^talk 21:18, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I will look on Tuesday, as I am busy tomorrow! Jezhotwells (talk) 21:21, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
