Albert Galaburda Page?

There was a page on Norman Geschwind, who was a famous neuroscientist. When I went to look for his student/collaborator Albert Galaburda, the page was deleted. One of Norman Geschwind's most famous theories is the Geschwind-Galaburda theory. That page should be reconstituted in some form. 173.73.128.231 (talk) 22:37, 27 May 2012 (UTC)Stuart Washington, PhD (sdw4@georgetown.edu)[reply]

The fact you left a message on my talk page indicates you saw the article's entry in the deletion log. You should also be aware the entry contained the entire contents of the article at the time of its deletion (i.e. "{{delete}}albert galaburda"). Of the two edits to the article, the first added the name and the second inserted the speedy deletion request template. As you are obviously more knowledgeable about Galaburda than myself any other Wikipedian who has been involved with the article, you would be the obvious candidate to create a new article about him. This can be done by either through Wikipedia:Articles for creation or by creating an account and following the directions at Wikipedia:Your first article. --Allen3 ^talk 00:27, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Baker was the only person to serve on both the Arizona Territorial Supreme Court and the Arizona Supreme Court? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Albert C. Baker. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added 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.

Promoting hooks you yourself approve

I know you've been around DYK far longer than I have, but it's generally not a good idea to promote articles you have also reviewed and approved. It's even specifically mentioned in the rules, in N1 on Wikipedia:Did you know/Onepage: "When possible, it is also best to avoid promoting the same article that you reviewed." Given that there are plenty of approved hooks available at present, many of them bios, it should be possible. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:51, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Special Thanks

Thank you for taking the effort to move the Gibraltar hook. Cheers Victuallers (talk) 23:05, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Elephant headed goddess

You promoted Template:Did you know nominations/Vinayaki to Template:Did you know/Preparation area 1 without the photo. Are you able to promote that with the photo? On another note, the nominator requested it for September 19. To get it for September 19 India time, it would need to be moved to Queue 6 or 1. Leaving it in Prep 1 would have it there during September 19 UTC, but it would still be nice if you were able to move some things around with the picture.

Fred G. Hughes hook

I've made another suggestion at WT:DYK. If you're still online, take a look. I'm reluctant to make the change myself without a go-ahead; I had similar concerns about the one you didn't like.

DYK submission for Parable of the sunfish

Hi Allen,

Thanks again for reviewing my DYK submission. As I mentioned, this is my first made-from-scratch article and, as you've pointed out, there are many aspects of wikipedia house style that I haven't mastered yet.

I'm happy (and eager) to follow your recommendations on improving the article, but I'm not sure if this is a good use of your time or if DYK is the right venue for this. Is it acceptable for the submission to have another two or three (or four or five) rounds of review, or would it be best to withdraw and improve the article outside of the DYK process?

Thanks much,

Garamond Lethe 00:31, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Allen,

Thank you for explaining the DYK process on my talk page. I hadn't realized that multiple review cycles were within the norm. Also, thank you for being such an attentive reader. Your reviews have been a huge help in educating me as to what is required for a high-quality article. These are definitely mistakes I won't be making again.

Best,

Thanks for catching the VIAFbot bug

Thanks for catching that bug. If you look at VIAFbot's contribs you can see it normally editing the case where the metadata comment is in the first line properly. But in the [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ren%C3%A9_Victor_Pilhes&diff=prev&oldid=516678668 case you pointed out] the the difference is the in the whitespace between the "Persondata" and the comment, correct?

Thanks

Thanks, I wanted to add an image to Template:Did you know nominations/Tara VanDerveer, forgot to do it when I created the nomination, didn't see how to add it after, meant to check with someone but got distracted. There's an ever-so-tiny story behind the picture—I had taken a picture of VanDerveer at a conference, but it wasn't a very good picture. I wrote to the athletic department, and told them if I could get a few pictures, (two of National Championship teams, and a better one of VanDerveer ) I would work on improving the article on her. They did, so I am.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 19:55, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Flat Bastion Magazine DYK promotion

I'm afraid we currently have two Gibraltar-related DYKs in the prep area at the moment - it's not your fault but I guess you didn't see that there was already a DYK in prep 3 (Rosia Water Tanks). In order to keep to the frequency of no more than one a day, I propose to take out Flat Bastion Magazine for now and replace it with something else, then re-add it to a different prep area tomorrow morning. Would you have any objection to that? Prioryman (talk) 20:11, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
