Nominations
Why would you nominate something based on how it's listed? There was clearly a mistake with the listing. Your attitude towards these things is bad, if you're going to take the time to review something, why not do it properly? You simply fail, you don't ever "put on hold" and wait for changes. It will take ages to get the articles re-nominated now. Also, what is wrong with the fair-use of the images used that you put in "grey"? Jayy008 (talk) 19:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
- ??? WTF!! List class articles do not qualify for GA status. I have explained that very clearly. If you do not understand or have not examined the criteria, then that is your problem, not mine. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
- Erm, no. It's clearly not a list and some editor obviously put it as that status by mistake. So why didn't you just tell me that it was mistakenly listed? I never said they qualify, when editing the article to a standard, I never thought to check the talk-page as I didn't think it would matter. Again, what is the fair-use and stability still in grey? There is no problems with those. Jayy008 (talk) 14:27, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- So why didn't you check what class the articles are/were? It is not the reviewer's job to classify before the review. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:31, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, but I didn't think to check the "talk-page" when nomination an article. Either way, a user told me lists don't qualify and "Gossip Girl season 4" IS a list. But Sanctuary (season 2) got the GA and isn't classed as a list. Could you elaborate on that please? (just wanting information—nothing to do with you or nominating) Jayy008 (talk) 15:03, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
- See WP:OTHERSTUFF. If I had reviewed that and if it was classified as a list at the time I would have failed it just the same. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:10, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I was trying to use article vs. article, I was simply stating that Sanctuary should be listed as "list class" and thus shouldn't be a GA either? Jayy008 (talk) 20:21, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the review!
Thanks a lot for the review, Jez! :-) Moisejp (talk) 05:49, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the help at the GA drive
Hi Jezza, just wanted to drop a note of "thanks!" for all the GA reviews you're doing during the drive, and also for the statistics updates. Additionally, I'm glad to see you've got high standards for GA, something I don't see enough of! Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 18:10, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- tx for the thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 23:54, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
PepsiCo GA
I understand your opinion about this GA review, however I disagree that it is a nightmare. If it takes this long, it takes this long - as the reviewer I have no issue with that. Jeff Bedford has graciously agreed to step up and complete the work needed, which at this point is very little. As you stated The Good article (GA) process is intentionally lightweight, so please ease up on the push to close it as it will be done shortly. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 05:24, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I seem to recall that you said something like that a month and a half ago and a month ago. Jezhotwells (talk) 09:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
DYK for Peaches Golding
On 5 December 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Peaches Golding, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Peaches Golding, the first black High Sheriff of Bristol, England, is the daughter of Charlie Brady Hauser, who was arrested for refusing to move to the back of a bus in North Carolina? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Peaches Golding.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it 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. |

Current review of Bhagat Singh
Greetings! Thank you for starting the review process of Bhagat Singh that I had nominated in September! I look forward to your review. Thanks. --Tinpisa (talk) 17:00, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
Much thanks for taking the time to do the GA review on Coeur Alaska, Inc. v. Southeast Alaska Conservation Council, and thanks for the feedback. Often when I finish an article I think it is reads well, and when I see changes/reccomendations, I shake my head wondering how I missed it (never check your own work, eh?) About your comment regarding how strange it is that the Army Corps has jurisdiction on waste dumping, I found it interesting when permitting a property that their description of "navigable water" is very broad, and possibly would include a low point in the desert that may have rainwater run through it every 10 years, as long as that water potentially made it to the ocean. Anyway, thanks again, hope I addressed all your points. --kelapstick(bainuu) 07:21, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
Help please.
Hi. How are you? Do you remember me? You reviewed "Single Ladies" for me. Hey i need your help... A reviewer at the FAC is opposing because he wants all the quotes in the first paragraph here to be transformed into original prose. Please do something. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 08:22, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- If ever it's done by someone else, then please do the same thing (if possible) for the first paragraph here. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 08:27, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Snowdon GA review
I don't know if you've watchlisted the discussion page, but I have done the simple things following your GA review of Snowdon. There are, however, a couple of points where I could do with some advice. Please see Talk:Snowdon/GA1; any help would be gratefully received. --Stemonitis (talk) 11:19, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Any suggestions?
Hi Jezhotwells, many thanks for taking the time to assess my 2 articles Charlotte Melmoth and John Street Theatre. Do you have any suggestions for improvements that I could make to raise them above 'start' level, please? I'm fairly new at writing articles from scratch, so any suggestions you offer will be gratefully implemented! Thanks! Butcherscross (talk) 22:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
