Did I hear my name?

You called? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:44, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Que linda! Never! (Well, perhaps subliminally.) Dorkus maximus is I, I completely forgot how to nominate an FAC. Brackets, curly brackets, omgwut. Good thing I remember how to review prose... María (yllosubmarine) 19:55, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I'll fight you for the rights, and I have the t-shirt! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:58, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I have a t-shirt that says "Talk Nerdy to Me", so perhaps I misspoke. Unfortunately some people think it's an invitation for them to go on about isosceles triangles or the Fibonacci sequence, which is totally not what I'm into, but whatev. María (yllosubmarine) 20:19, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Limp Bizkit

Could you reformat the citations yourself, since I clearly don't know how to do it.--WTF (talk) 04:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

• I don't think there's a problem, either. That's why I don't want to do it. Other FA reviewers are saying that there is a problem, but I really can't change the citations myself. If someone else can do it, that'd be fine.--WTF (talk) 00:47, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

PR request

Hey, Maria. I noticed some of your own reviews over at FACs and was generally impressed. I currently have something up at Peer Review, which I plan on taking to FAC one day, but it isn't getting any replies. Sorry if it's too much to ask, but I was wondering if you could give it a look when you have time and maybe leave some comments over at the PR? It'd be much appreciated :) Cheers, Auree ★ 06:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

That's okay--it might even prove helpful. Usually us hurricane folk don't know when our writing is too technical, so having a layman look it over could really help us find ways to make our articles more understandable. Thanks! Auree ★ 18:37, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Maria. Congrats on The Monster's promotion, even though I wasn't surprised with the result :) After your review, I retrieved some well-needed motivation and gave Tropical Storm Cindy an extensive overhaul to polish up the prose. I'm pretty determined when it comes to quality, and I value your opinion, so it'd be awesome if you could give it another look to see if it's improved? Any additional help would be great. All the best, Auree ★ 10:12, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks again! It's now a FAC, so wish me luck (: Auree ★ 17:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on the intro. I hope my recent edits have remedied your concerns, and I look forward to your comments on the rest of the article. Savidan 22:09, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

I have re-nominated this article here. Any comments would be appreciated. Savidan 22:02, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Katharine Hepburn again

Hey Maria, I hope you're well. It's me again, back to pester you (I bet you regret offering to remain at hand for the K. Hepburn article, haha). I refound my motivation for it, and have - I believe - made all the changes you suggested for the article. I'm still going to give it another read-through, but I'm planning to take it to FAC very soon. Perhaps it will encounter problems, but I'm curious to give it a shot and see what happens. Anyway - I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to take a look at the new lead and see what you think of it? Do you think it's too long? How about the new layout? It's quite a big change, do you think it's an improvement or not? I'm not entirely sure it is better this way. I'd be very happy to hear any opinions you may have.

Don't worry!

Don't worry Maria it's fine, I was ready to go ahead and nominate anyway. I couldn't bare to wait any longer! Man, that was scary actually nominating! I'm really happy to have finally done it anyway, whatever the outcome. Yay. It would be great to have a review whenever you can. --Lobo512 (talk) 18:44, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Garbo blip

Hi Yllos..., Your last message to Lobo, I think, was posted in the Greta Garbo edit history rather than the one you meant. Which leads me to believe it didn't get to your intended audience. Might want to redirect it--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 23:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC). Take care,

Whoops! Nevermind. i was looking at the wrong history. Sorry,--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 23:24, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Main page appearance: The Red Badge of Courage

This is a note to let the main editors of The Red Badge of Courage know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 12, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 12, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Red Badge of Courage is a war novel by American author Stephen Crane. Taking place during the American Civil War, the story is about a young private of the Union Army, Henry Fleming, who flees from the field of battle. Overcome with shame, he longs for a wound—a "red badge of courage"—to counteract his cowardice. When his regiment once again faces the enemy, Henry acts as standard-bearer. Although Crane was born after the war, and had not at the time experienced battle firsthand, the novel is known for its realism. He began writing what would become his second novel in 1893, using various contemporary and written accounts (such as those published previously by Century Magazine) as inspiration. It is believed that he based the fictional battle on that of Chancellorsville; he may also have interviewed veterans of the 124th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commonly known as the Orange Blossoms. Initially shortened and serialized in newspapers in December 1894, the novel was published in full in October 1895. Several of the themes that the story explores are maturation, heroism, cowardice, and the indifference of nature. Adapted several times for the screen, the novel became a bestseller. It has never been out of print, and is now thought to be Crane's most important work and a major American text. (more...)

Hepburn FAC

Hey Maria. I'm very happy to report that the Katharine Hepburn FAC has attracted two supports. I hope you are still able to drop in. I've rewritten the lead again by the way. It doesn't quite follow your advice of sticking to the article structure, but I decided it was a good idea to split the legacy stuff between the first para and the final para. That way, the lead has an interesting opening and closing. I think it is good the way it is, I hope you agree. --Lobo (talk) 19:56, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

peer review

I placed a post asking for peer review of Charles Lindbergh and request it actually be carried out - I have complied with the process requirements, the short-circuiting on the basis that I do not regard the request page as being a debate forum is errant as far as I can tell. That Centpacrr views the peer review process as an adversarial proceeding is quite beyond comprehension. A simple reading of the "article" will show florid and purple prose abounding in an article with BLP implications (the surviving son), and a goodly share of problematic claims. Cheers.

Pakistan FAC

Hi, I was advised by one of the reviewers to ask active FAC editors to review the Pakistan article's FAC at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pakistan/archive1‎. It has been out for nine days, the problems mentioned in the start were fixed but there have been no further comments. There was a question about a dispute that occurred after the nomination, I've explained about it on the FAC page that there's been no consensus for it on the talk page and the current version is as of consensus. Please take a look at the article and drop your review comments and/or vote. Thanks. --lTopGunl (talk) 17:24, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
