Wasting Light GA

I will be reviewing this article, so I am giving you notice and a link to the page. Looks like an interesting and informative article so far. :) Toa Nidhiki05 23:02, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Just as a note, I have already noted a few prose issues on the article. I'd like to get these corrected before advancing so I don't have to go back and double-check later. :) Toa Nidhiki05 23:22, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Alrighty, passed. Good job! Toa Nidhiki05 02:10, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Jaws FAC

Hey, thanks for the Barnstar. At your invitation, I added my name as a co-nominator--at this point, I'll probably be more helpful in that role than as a reviewer. (Also, I think you might have jumped the gun on the two-week-waiting period by a day-and-a-half...maybe with a new co-nominator on board, it'll be easier for the delegates to let it ride.) Looking forward to it--I feel we've got one of the best pieces on Jaws anywhere now. DocKino (talk) 05:02, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Binaural (album)

Hey! I have reviewed the article and put the review on hold in order for some concerns to be addressed. Good luck! Basilisk4u (talk) 00:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment on my proposed changes?

Hi. Thanks for the barnstar for Wasting Light. I was hoping you'd like to comment at this talk page post proposing my changes to the article 21 (Adele album). Care to comment? Dan56 (talk) 05:53, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Vow GA

I'll be reviewing your GA nomination for "Vow". Toa Nidhiki05 00:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

There is a GA bot that will come and do that. :) Toa Nidhiki05 12:36, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Alright - I don't have access to a computer at this moment (hard to do code on an iPod), but I should be able to add it around 3:00 PM EST. Is that fine? :) Toa Nidhiki05 14:58, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the lateness for updating - I also tagged the article under WP:Alternative music and WP:Rock music, and added a few talk header templates.

As for the Black Ice FA, I'll see what I can do - I'm working on some other stuff, but I could certainly help in some aspect. Toa Nidhiki05 15:23, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2012/Submissions/Igordebraga

I'm afraid I have removed Pearl Jam; quite clearly, the vast majority of the article was written last year, and your pre-nomination work on the article this year was extremely minimal. In addition to the nomination, there has to have been significant work on the article this year to be eligible for points. The other two GAs are fine. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Thanks, J Milburn (talk) 22:30, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that's fine. Provided you've done significant work on some of the articles this year, and then the topic is nominated and promoted this year, you can claim for all of the articles in the topic which are yours. J Milburn (talk) 16:46, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 February newsletter

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Ruby2010 (submissions), Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Miyagawa (submissions) and Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Ruby2010 (submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.

The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.

The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

GA review?

Hi. I see you need Foo Fighters (album) reviewed for wikicup. I need Foley Square trial reviewed. Would you be willing to team up and review each other's article? Reviewing Foley Square trial should be rather easy: it has been through two GA reviews already: the second review was completed, but the reviewer retired from WP before giving the final approval. The GA review page is Talk:Foley Square trial/GA2. You don't need to start a new review page: just edit that GA2 page and act as the "second reviewer". Does that sound okay? --Noleander (talk) 12:39, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for offering to finish the GA review of Talk:Foley Square trial/GA2. I'll get started on the reivew of the Foo Fighter article. --Noleander (talk) 00:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations ...

This user helped promote Foo Fighters (album) to good article status.

Copy-edit request: The Constant

Hi Igordebraga, just a note to let you know that I've completed the copy-edit you requested for the above article. TBH I didn't have to change a great deal of the article, just a few tweaks to some of the text. I'm sorry you've had to wait so long; there doesn't seem to be much activity on the Guild at the moment! I hope it's okay, if there are any problems please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 05:30, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations and well done at getting this through the FAC process. The article was OK before, but now it is great! The JPS^{talk to me} 15:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

What about Annie Hall? It can't be too far off GA, having developed the production section. I've put a little to do list on its talk page. I think the main thing is improving the Themes and Reception sections. The JPS^{talk to me} 08:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! Grapple X (submissions), of Pool B, is our highest overall scorer thanks to his prolific writings on television and film. In second place is Pool H's Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's Casliber (submissions), who also writes primarily on biology (including ornithology and botany) and has already submitted two featured articles this round. Of the 63 contestants remaining, 15 (just under a quarter) have over 100 points this round. However, 25 are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly. 32 contestants, the top two from each pool and the 16 next-highest scorers, will advance to round 3.

Congratulations to Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to 12george1 (submissions), who claimed good topic points, our first contestant this year to do so, for his work on Wikipedia:Featured topics/1982 Atlantic hurricane season. This leaves featured topics and featured portals as the only sources of points not yet utilised. However, as recent statistics from Miyagawa (submissions) show, no source has yet been utilised this competition to the same extent it has been previously!

It has been observed that the backlogs at good article candidates are building up again. While the points for good article reviews will be remaining constant, any help that can be offered keeping the backlog down would be appreciated. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Regarding GA review of 2001

Hey dont worry about the review. Article is most certain to pass. Only thing is its a very lengthy one so it takes time to go through all of it. Only minor linking mistakes are to be corrected or to be provided. Rest is all fine. Will get a GA within 4-5 days. Sry for the delay :) ASHU^IND 18:10, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace

Hi.

Just rated it a B, the article is Very Good, only thing i saw missing is some references in the lead section, even if the information is references elsewhere, the lead section should always be references since holds the fundamentals of the article. Other than that is a great article, good luck with the nomination. Zidane tribal (talk) 08:25, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Ra.One

Hello, I think we've never met before :). I came across your name while I was reviewing Tron: Legacy for a GAN (and it looks almost certain to fail a second time). I have been working very extensively on Ra.One (a GA) for quite some time, in the hope of pushing it to FA status soon. I submitted it for an FAC but it failed it due to a few issues. I think I have rectified many of them (though a few more are being talked over). I would be very happy if you would take an in-depth look at the article and give your analysis about the article's weak points. Its a measure to make the article as perfect as possible prior to its second FAC (aimed for April 26). I'd be much obliged :). Thanks in advance! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:45, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, thank you for the suggestion. I don't think GA reviewers are supposed to edit much in the articles being reviewed. Of course I don't expect the article to jump to GA level this fast, but as far as I can see, the progress of work is pretty good. There are issues left, which hopefully can be cleared up in an extended hold. I don't want to force a third GA review (which may never happen), so i'll be lenient. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:38, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 24

Hi. When you recently edited HAL 9000, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doubleday (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.

Apologies and thanks

I apologize if my edit summary seemed to curt - as I am sure that you know there is only so much room on that line. The new compare screen that started yesterday does not have the light green color scheme to show which sections were altered so I was having difficulties tracking what you had removed. Thus, I appreciate you taking the time to go back and add an edit summary. Cheers and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 20:27, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

FYI some of what I was writing about above is being discussed here Village pump (technical)#New .22diff.22 view is horrible and illegible. Included is a way to change back to the old style screen which I will be doing so I shouldn't have the problem that caused my reversion of your edit. Of course, you may have no interest in this but I thought I would let you know just in case. MarnetteD | Talk 20:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 April newsletter

Round 2 of this year's WikiCup is over, and so we are down to our final 32, in what could be called our quarter-finals. The two highest scorers from each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers overall, have entered round 3, while 30 participants have been eliminated. Pool B's Grapple X (submissions) remains our top scorer with over 700 points; he continues to gain high numbers of points for his good articles on The X-Files, but also Millennium and other subjects. He has also gained points for a good topic, a featured list, multiple good article reviews and several did you knows. Pool E's Casliber (submissions) was second, thanks primarily to his biology articles, with Pool H's Muboshgu (submissions) coming in third, with an impressive 46 did you knows, mostly on the subject of baseball. Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both scored over 600 points. Pools E and H proved our most successful, with each seeing 5 members qualify for round 3, while Pools C and D were the least, with each seeing only 3 reach round 3. However, it was Pool G which saw the lowest scoring, with a little under 400 points combined; Pool H, the highest scoring group, saw over triple that score.

65 points was the lowest qualifying score for round 3; significantly higher than the 11 required to enter round 2, and also higher than the 41 required to reach round 3 last year. However, in 2010, 100 points were needed to secure a place in round 3. 16 will progress to round 4. In round 3, 150 points was the 16th highest score, though, statistically, people tend to up their game a little in later rounds. Last year, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 points were needed. Guessing how many points will be required is not easy. We still have not seen any featured portals or topics this year, but, on the subject of less common content types, a small correction needs to be made to the previous newsletter: File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg, our first featured picture, was the work of both Matthewedwards (submissions) and Grandiose (submissions), the latter of whom has also gone on to score with File:Map of the Battle of Guam, 1944.svg. Bonus points also continue to roll in; this round, Ealdgyth (submissions) earned triple points for her good articles on William the Conqueror and the Middle Ages, Casliber and Cwmhiraeth both earned triple points for their work on Western Jackdaw, now a good article, Dana Boomer (submissions) earned triple points for her work on lettuce and work by Stone (submissions) to ready antimony for good article status earned him triple points. Jarry1250 (submissions) managed to expand Vitus Bering far enough for a did you know, which was also worth triple points. All of these highly important topics featured on 50 or more Wikipedias at the start of the year.

An article on the WikiCup in the Wikimedia Blog, "Improving Wikipedia with friendly competition", was posted at the end of April. This may be of interest to those who are signed up to this newsletter, as well as serving as another way to draw attention to our project. Also, we would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions), for continued help behind the scenes. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Queer GA

I am reviewing your good article nomination for "Queer". While I have not done a prose check or individual citation check, all other sections have passed. Barring any major issues with citations I expect this to pass and have a good shot at FA-status in the future. :) Toa Nidhiki05 15:45, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I've noted three grammar errors that need fixing. After those are corrected I will pass the article as I didn't see any real citation issues. Toa Nidhiki05 15:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Looks like everything checks out, so I'll pass it.

Yeah, these reviews sure do take a while now; I have seven articles waiting to be reviewed. Glad I could review this and get it out of GAN for you and good luck on your future articles. You're doing a great job improving Garbage's articles into solid, high-quality articles. :) Toa Nidhiki05 03:02, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Excellent work with the expansion work on this Pearl Jam article! Lugnuts (talk) 19:02, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

GA As you can see, I was behind the unsuccessful GA before and I'd be happy to co-nom this time. If you look at the edit history, I started the article and have done a decent amount of work on it (although the bulk was by -5-.) —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:15, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

No worries Adding me to the GA (if you want) is simple: once the GA page has been created, I can tack on my name and explain that I'll be there for any help that's needed to push it over the edge. It's also a courtesy to inform any other major contributors to the article and I think that -5- is the only other one. I'm 99% sure he won't be interested in working on the article and 100% sure he'll be happy that you're seeing it through to GA status. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:47, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

In Your Honor

Hi.

Sorry to be repetitive but just like with Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace just rated it a B, but the only thing i saw missing is some references in the lead section, even if the information is references elsewhere, also, the "Development and recording" section is quite large and it might tick off some MOS purist. Other than that, a sample is a nice way to make the article look FA-ish. Zidane tribal (talk) 01:43, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the review! You do pretty darn good with reviews. I haven't done an extensive edit in a few years and before work on this article, I hadn't even logged in in over two years I believe, so I'm a bit rusty haha. Burningclean _[speak] 21:47, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
