Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Franco Debono, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nationalist Party (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.

Hello, Being an editor apart of the Game of Thrones series, can you please come and join the discussion over on Talk:List of Game of Thrones characters re Gendry and his place on the characters that would be great. MisterShiney ✉ 15:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to the article for Salem, New Jersey again added the Template:Inadequate lead. The tag adds nothing to the article, and if anything just makes it worse. As always, tagging an article is a last resort. If you believe that the lead needs to be updated to add additional context, update away, which might have a reasonable likelihood of improving the article.

- I'm not anyone's maid, nor is any other editor. With all due respect, if you see a problem then fix it; Tagging must be an absolute last resort. For example, I have just tagged an entry in an article as needing a source, but I actually did the research to try to find one. Once I couldn't find the source I actually contacted someone who might be able to address the issue. Try editing the article and see how it works. It's lots of fun and tends to improve the encyclopedia. Alansohn (talk) 21:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Amberrock, I noticed you tagged Dan Hildebrand for deletion via BLPPROD, but the article has one source, so it isn't subject to BLPPROD. I've removed the tag. While IMDb may not be a reliable source, it's incorrect to call the article unreferenced altogether (the existing tag, {{BLP IMDb refimprove}}, is accurate). You may still tag the article for deletion via a regular PROD; I wouldn't object. --BDD (talk) 21:14, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I doesn't really belong to Template:Did you know nominations/Matthias Eisenberg: I may have a language problem. It is unusual that a Protestant Church musician and a Jewish Israeli (mostly) Klezmer clarinetist play together, because their culture is different and their approach to music is different.

Thank you for your work at the DYK's. You presented solid feedback that I responded to while allowing me to explain decisions towards the article's wording. A very pleasant experience and your diplomacy was resolute, just, and balanced. Mkdwtalk 21:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply] |
Thanks for your help and approval. I expected the Group of Monuments of Mahabalipuram (16 articles DYK now in the Queue to go on the lead as it is very important architecturally to South India.

I don't know if you have the page on your watchlist, but I believe I have solved the issues you mentioned in the nomination. Cheers, Mentoz86 (talk) 13:50, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't close the nomination. I wasn't the one who created the "wall of text". Japanglish and Penwatchdog raised many issues absolutely unconnected to DYK. Just read the discussion. You may see a hidden agenda in Japanglish's comments. Doing what Japanglish suggested would make the article look better on the outside, but incoherent on the inside. He rewrote the lead section like this. The result was both misleading and unsourced. His latest requests were reasonable and I have basically fulfilled (almost) all of them. I also did it to make the wall of text stop.
If you think the text is too promotional, just list the sentences and I will change them. I am sorry I didn't execute your requests immediately. I was simply waiting for LadyofShalott to do it cause I thought she would do it better. --Moscow Connection (talk) 06:10, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to bother you again, I think there's a way to improve the hook by changing a couple of words, I posted here: Template:Did you know nominations/Momoiro Clover Z. The change is minor but the new version sounds much better to me. Moscow Connection (talk) 20:09, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They are always marked at the margin and all my articles were written in that way. I reworked these articles several times (for more clarity) and not only on en-wiki, but perhaps this detail should be added to all articles with Pericopa Adultera.

On 30 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article And Now His Watch Is Ended, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that Game of Thrones episode "And Now His Watch Is Ended" introduced the fictional tongue of High Valyrian on television, which was created by a linguist? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/And Now His Watch Is Ended. 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.

Hi Amberrock,
Quick question for you regarding Template:Did you know nominations/Seattle riot of 1886. Could you point out to me which policy forbids an article that was a DYK when it was first created from being featured as a DYK again after a 5x expansion? I looked through WP:DYK and it says that articles featured in In The News are ineligible but I couldn't find anything about previous DYKs.

Hello,
I recently received a message from DYKHousekeepingBot about an incomplete submission for my DYK nomination of my "Forensic developmental psychology" article. However, the page that the DYKHousekeepingBot is referring to is the incorrect submission page for Forensic developmental psychology. When I first created the template for the nomination page, the link to forensic developmental psychology said that the article "Forensic Developmental Psychology" did not exist. I think that was because I capitalized the D and P in developmental and psychology. I created another subnomination page with a link to "Forensic developmental psychology" (lowercase d and p), and this link seemed to work, so I posted the nomination using this subpage. Is there a way to delete the other template? I would still like the article to be considered for DYK.
Here is the link for the INCORRECT dyk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Forensic_Developmental_Psychology

This does not appear to be true, based on the article, and the reference in the article. Can you verify it, or explain why you approved the hook? Until it can be verified, I've removed it from the DYK hook. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:23, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Good call on your end. The hook - as it stands - is indeed incorrect. I must have misread that hook, reading it as "beating" Justin Bieber rather than "featuring." Perhaps you should reopen the page to make sure a new hook can be chosen.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 06:26, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I see you've already found a different solution which decreases the bureaucracy load on the DYK reviewers. Excellent. Never mind my suggestion to reopen the discussion. Let's just keep the (edited) hook in play, then.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 06:56, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've just discovered that, while Team Syachihoko is "the youngest sister" (末っ子 "the youngest child", 3姉妹の末っ子 "the youngest child of 3 sisters"), its average age is bigger that Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku's. (I suddenly had doubts and I decided to calculate. The result was 5599 days for Team Syachihoko and 5556 for Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku.) The "youngest sister" means that it was born (formed) last.
I think we shoud call it "the youngest sister" of the three in the hook. Like this:
- ... that Team Syachihoko is a sister group of Momoiro Clover Z and Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku and, having been formed in 2011, is the "youngest sister" of the three?
I would edit the preparation area myself, but I think it is better done by an admin. The preparation area is here: Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:27, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- While I think it's admirable you went out and calculated things for yourself, the sources I put through Google Translate all seemed to indicate Team was the youngest of them all. Those news articles are sources for Wikipedia; your calculator is not.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 20:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is that the sources don't say simply "the youngest group" ("最年少グループ"), they say "the youngest child" (Wiktionary: 末っ子). "ももクロ3姉妹の「末っ子」" means "the 'youngest child' of the 3 Momoclo sisters". And they also put the expression "youngest sister" in quotation marks. What they mean by "youngest sister" is that it was "born" last. But the hook will be understood differently, that's the problem. Oricon says more clearly: "ももクロ3姉妹の「末っ子」グループとして昨年結成されたチームしゃちほこ" ("Team Syachihoko, formed last year as the 'youngest child' group of the 3 Momoclo sisters.") That's exacly what my new version of the hook would mean. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:53, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright, I will not try to outsmart you (or anybody else) on Japanese source texts. I've changed the hook.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 21:20, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank very much! I've just changed the article to say the same thing as the hook: [1]. I also posted here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan#Help with DYK for Team Syachihoko (urgent) earlier, so if anyone from WikiProject Japan thinks I'm mistaken, they still have around 10 hours 33 minutes to comment here. :) --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:27, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
