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)[reply]

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

Can you fix the ordinals? Each should have same values/style.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:46, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

These still haven't been done. What are the correct values?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 18:56, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Jaws (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph (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.

WikiCup 2012 February newsletter

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Conradh na Gaeilge Grapple X (submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was United Kingdom Tigerboy1966 (submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Minnesota Ruby2010 (submissions), Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), Wisconsin Miyagawa (submissions) and Scotland Casliber (submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Minnesota 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!

Disambiguation link notification for March 11

Hi. When you recently edited List of minor The X-Files characters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William A. Graham (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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Congratulations ...

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)[reply]

Jaws FA

Congratulations and well done at getting this through the FAC process. The article was OK before, but now it is great! The JPStalk to me 15:53, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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 JPStalk to me 08:17, 24 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2012 March newsletter

We are over half way through the second round of this year's WikiCup and things are going well! Conradh na Gaeilge 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 Wales Cwmhiraeth (submissions), thanks primarily to work on biological articles, especially in marine biology and herpetology. Third place goes to Pool E's Scotland 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 Vanuatu Matthewedwards (submissions), whose impressive File:Wacht am Rhein map (Opaque).svg became the competition's first featured picture. Also, congratulations to Florida 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 Wisconsin 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!
