Cher PR

Hi! I'm so sorry for not being able to keep the Cher PR in the last days. I will reply to your suggestions right now. Hope you're not bothered with the delay. Cheers, Lordelliott (talk) 18:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

No worries Elliott. I would strongly prefer if you finished your work with WPPeguin before I proceed with the review. If any lingering issues remain after that, then ping me and we can continue if you wish. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 02:03, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Alright. Would you mind replying the questions I made on the PR before we stop it for a while? Lordelliott (talk) 03:44, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Finish your work with WPP first. Then, if there are remaining concerns at that point, ask me to revisit. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 03:54, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Gabe. Wikipedian Penguin said to me he is taking a two-week to one-month break from Wikipedia. Considering this, I was wondering if the order could be altered - we finish our PR and then, if there are remaining concerns, Wikipedian Penguin can revisit. That would save a lot of time.

To be honest, had you not started the PR with WP in the first place, the PR I started would already be finished. Now, I am in the middle of several projects and I really don't have the time to finish the Cher PR with you at this time. When I first agreed to do the PR, I politely asked you to be sure that the previous one was archived. You ignored my request and began yet another PR, which significantly slowed the pace of "our" PR. For all I know, WP will come back in two-weeks and want to re-start his PR. I do not want to review under a deadline, as there is far too much work left to be completed with the Cher article. In the future, please stick to one PR at a time, and please finish what you start before asking others to commit to such a large project. I'll say it again: After you archive any and all other open PRs, ask me to revisit. I am not interested in workshopping the article, nor do I have the time. Sorry, but really, you should have followed my advice and not tried to take on too much at once. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:40, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Alright. Just to be clear, I asked WP to start a PR way before we started our PR. In fact, I asked him when the article was a FAC. Lordelliott (talk) 20:37, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, you asked him first, that's fine, but did he begin his PR before I began mine? That's my main point here. Please don't have two or more PRs open at once for the same article. It matters little to me who was asked first. Once one is opened, you shouldn't open another until after the first is completed and archived. Have you added alt text for every image in the article? Have you improved the FURs for the ogg files? Understand? GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 21:39, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

No, he began his PR after you began yours. I had forgotten that I asked him when he began his PR, actually. I think the alt text point is a tough one, and I thought we could work on these points after the prose/trimming review. Lordelliott (talk) 21:55, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Then IMO you should have politely asked WP to wait until we had finished and archived "our" PR before starting his. As I said above, had you not taken so long to address my comments (an issue caused or exacerbated by your working on two Cher PRs simultaneously), then "we" would already be finished. I hope you get my point here Elliot, I'm not trying to be a jerk about this. I truly enjoyed working with you, but you should not have attempted two simultaneous PRs on the same article IMO.

Alcohol laws of New Jersey

I noticed that you review many feature articles. Would you be able to review alcohol laws of New Jersey? It has been nominated as a feature article. DavidinNJ (talk) 01:28, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look when I get a chance. GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:43, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much. DavidinNJ (talk) 03:13, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

I updated the article per your comments. I also found an alternative to resolve the comma-colon syntax issue. DavidinNJ (talk) 02:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I replied to you at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Alcohol laws of New Jersey/archive1. I found a much better liquor store picture and reduced the captions on a number of the images. DavidinNJ (talk) 19:27, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

You commented on the FAC nomination for Alcohol laws of New Jersey and we appreciate your considerable detail and keen attention in this matter. We believe that we have addressed your concerns (to date) and improved the article, can we now count on your support? --ColonelHenry (talk) 16:26, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Gabe, Thank you for very much for supporting our article, and for the extensive amount of time you spent reviewing our article. It is greatly appreciated. DavidinNJ (talk) 02:12, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

You are most welcome David, glad I could help. Nice work! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 02:14, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Hendrix

Congratulations on the promotion Gabe. Thoroughly deserved! -- Cassianto^Talk 22:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words, and for your excellent review. Cheers! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:45, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Congrats

Hey, Gabe. Just wanted to stop by and extend my congratulations on getting Death of Jimi Hendrix to Featured status. It's a great article and you did a fantastic job on it! Evanh2008 ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:26, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Evan, that's very nice of you. The article was a labour of love/hate, as the subject matter was decidedly dismal, and I am quite glad to be "finished". Hope all is well with you, cheers! GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:31, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
