GA review

Thanks for the review, and all the work on Major Mite, it is much appreciated. I think that the peer review and old GA review go in as Article Milestones, but I am not sure. Thanks again, Matty.007 10:59, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

You bet, it was a lot of fun! — MusikAnimal ^talk 17:11, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I am using your template which makes the text go green in my first GA review. Is that OK? Thanks, Matty.007 12:18, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

No problem! It is a variant of {{tq}}. I think I may modify that one, adding a parameter to support my formatting (italic serif wrapped in double quotes), or just move mine to the template space as a new template altogether... I don't know. Anyways {{User:MusikAnimal/Iqt}} will not move or deleted so it is safe to use. — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:06, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

GA reviews

Hi, I am not sure how busy you are, and I appreciate you are busy at present with the GA review drive, but would you be able to have a look at User:Matty.007/sandbox/Herm at some point in the next week or so, and give me some tips for going for GA please? If you don't want to do it, please say, I don't mind. Thanks for all the help, Matty.007 20:00, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Sure! Don't mind at all. Check the talk page I'll add more comments when I have time to dive deeper. For now, it's time to enjoy the festivities! Happy New Year! — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:48, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

GAR Archive

Hi, if I reviewed a GA, when should I archive it (and if so, how)? Thanks, Matty.007 13:26, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

It looks like people don't always officially close a review, but I suppose you should. The final decision on whether to pass/fail an article is solely up to the original reviewer, so my thoughts are that, albeit unlikely, you wouldn't want the nominator backlashing at you for whatever reason... closure would officially end the discussion. I place {{archive top}} at the top of GA Review section and {{archive bottom}} at the bottom. Full instructions on reviewing are at WP:GAN/I, make sure you do all that's mentioned at finishing the review because I don't think the bots do all of that stuff automatically, kind of annoying. Good luck on your GA ventures, cheers! — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:00, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Best, Matty.007 16:04, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations!

		The Really Nice View for Really Nice Work Award
		Hello MusikAnimal, I saw that you have been doing some really nice work on Wikipedia, mainly reviewing lots of GAs, and helping me with GAs; so I thought that you deserved to be the seventh recipient of the 'Really Nice View' award. Congratulations! Matty.007 13:28, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks Matty! — MusikAnimal ^talk 15:31, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Svensk Varg

I don´t understand why you deleted the band GODHATE from the death metal bands list? 2013-01-07 — Preceding unsigned comment added by SVENSK VARG (talk • contribs) 19:48, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

We want to restrict the artists on lists to those who are considered notable, hence generally only bands that have their on article, which GODHATE apparently does not. The reason why is often bands will add their name to the list as some form of promotion, then another band does, and it just grows into this monstrosity of unsourced non-notable acts. This is not to say GODHATE doesn't deserve a place on Wikipedia, but after a quick web search I'm not convinced they meet our notability guideline on music. If you think they do, feel free to create an article, or just add them just to the list – but make sure to link them so that it is a red link, and add a reference that can prove notability. Let me know if you need any help. Cheers! — MusikAnimal ^talk 20:23, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for your fast reply. I will try to write an article about Godhate first, because I really think this band deserves some attention. They have been around since 1991. Previously known as Throneaeon (1991-2003) until they changed their name into Godhate in 2003. They released CD´s both as Throneaeon and Godhate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SVENSK VARG (talk • contribs) 20:49, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Test Edits

Hi MusikAnimal,

It wasn't a test edit on Murry1975's page. I went back and signed it properly after a message was left on my Talk page that I wasn't signing off my posts correctly.

Regards,

Simon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simonjohnpalmer (talk • contribs) 21:04, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Yes I undid that revert myself, and I also instructed Huggle to revert the notice on your page, but I guess it didn't? Sorry about that! I've since altered my Huggle configuration to exclude talk pages, which is was the reason behind the mistake, since users adding their signatures within articles is a common "test edit". Thanks — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:14, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

FedRes

Did not remove anything simply added. I think you made a mistake and would be pleased to see it returned as my addition is factually correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.231.26.21 (talk) 22:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey there! Looks like with this edit you attempted to add new content with a source, but the ref tag wasn't closed. In your next edit you correctly closed the ref tag of your addition, but you also blanked an entire section of the article. Perhaps you didn't mean to do that? I rollbacked your changes in order to restore the content, but your addition was also removed as a consequence. That being said, feel free to re-add your contribution, just be sure to not remove anything else by mistake! Also see WP:REFBEGIN on how to correctly add references, although for WikiSource we prefer to do it in a special way, so see Wikipedia:Wikisource#Using Wikisource as reference. Write back here if you need any help Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 23:11, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Woah, yes, the blank was a mistake. Sorry about that and many thanks for fixing my mess! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.231.26.21 (talk) 10:50, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Thanks Acather96! :) — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:29, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

There is a Latin legal term for this ...

Date of Isaac Pitman's death

Hi there. I noticed your revert to Isaac Pitman and thought you might be interested in Talk:Isaac Pitman#Date of death: January 12 or 22?. I notice you didn't revert a second time so maybe you worked it out for yourself... but I thought I should give you a link anyway, just in case. Yaris678 (talk) 19:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Hey! I have no particular opinion on this matter. While doing RCP work, I reverted this edit as a "test edit", and notified the user of such, as it included extraneous ref tags that produced visible errors on the page. Perhaps I should have just removed them, but any rate the user correctly changed the dates without error in the edit that followed. — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:23, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
