GTRI FAC

Andrew, do you have a to-do list of things to complete in order to re-submit GTRI as a FAC? I'd like to help you. Here's why I ask... it's the only article about a non-profit Institute that's in the "good-article" list. I'd like to help you bring it up to the highest level, then use it as a model. Here's one place where it could used as a model: Buck Institute for Research on Aging. Thanks -- ResearcherQ (talk) 21:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

As far as I'm concerned, it's ready for another run through FAC, but I have one open for G. Wayne Clough (WP:FAC/G. Wayne Clough/2)... Was actually planning on renominating GTRI sooner or later, so if you're willing to help, we can do it this week and conominate it. There's no guarantee we'll get through the first couple tries but you just have to keep pushing. I'd also like to point out another article that is for a quasi-university attached institute, SRI International - it's GA and I've put a lot of work into it. Disavian (talk) 00:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
I really appreciate the SRI reference, as it's "closer" to the Buck Institute in scope *and* locality.
What can I do on either of these to help you? Maybe just a full read and light edit with a fresh set of eyes? Thanks in advance -- ResearcherQ (talk) 17:17, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, a pair of fresh eyes would definitely help. I'd like to nominate both for FAC sooner than later (starting with GTRI), and I'll let you know when I do - ideally this weekend. You're welcome to sign up as a co-nom on those. Disavian (talk) 21:39, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Ugh -- I can't really get to it until Monday. I have these three people as houseguests all weekend (a good thing!): Navah Perlman, Zuill Bailey, and Philippe Quint. I'll actually spend some time working with them to get their Wikipedia articles in better shape. Proceed without me as you need - back on Monday -- ResearcherQ (talk) 21:55, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Have fun! FAC is not a fast process, you don't have anything to worry about. Disavian (talk) 15:53, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
Oh, forgot to mention: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Georgia Tech Research Institute/archive2. Disavian (talk) 06:52, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Back -- I'm in the mountains, in a place where the Internet arrives via microwave, and it's been down.
Reviewed GTRI/2 article. A lot there to cover -- I learned a lot, which I'll emulate. The sentence about the simulated disaster could be clearer (mock chlorine gas attack -- not that that much detail is necessary, but the sentence reads odd as it is now).
Reviewed Clough/2 article. Well-balanced. I would say "co-founded" USUCGER, rather than just "founded".
How can I help you proceed with either of these? It looks like they're both FAC candidates at this point. Thanks -- ResearcherQ (talk) 16:30, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Well, you seem to have a couple edits in mind, if you get some time before I've fixed them, go ahead and have a crack at them. I'm excited, I already have one support on the GTRI FAC. :D Disavian (talk) 20:52, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Montgomery Knight, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Westinghouse (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

G. Wayne Clough

D - I made several edits yesterday in response to feedback from the most recent reviewer of the G. Wayne Clough article, but this last reviewer had several comments and questions which still need a response. I will wait on your reply before I continue editing this article. Mistercontributer (talk) 00:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

I saw that he commented on the FAC, I'll try to get to that in the next day or two. Thanks for being fast about fixing up the article. :) Disavian (talk) 01:51, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

GT Residence Halls

D - you may have already noticed this, but User:Namiba and User:ItsZippy have requested deletion for articles related to GT Residence Halls: Example. One option would be to combine all of the articles for Residence Halls into one article to preserve this information. -Mistercontributer (talk) 02:06, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

GTRI FAC

Hi -- sorry it was archived; if you decide to renominate, let me know and I'll be happy to continue to review. I wish I could have got through the review a little faster but I've been pretty busy in real life. I enjoyed the article and I think it's in pretty good shape, and should pass FAC if enough reviewers look at it. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:49, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

It really annoys me when they close it while there's an active review going on, especially with the long time between reviewers - I guess I've just had a bad streak of relatively unnoticed FACs, including Glen P. Robinson, History of Georgia Tech, G. Wayne Clough, and now Georgia Tech Research Institute. How would you feel about just moving your review (and copying the existing bits from the FAC) to the talk page where there's no time pressure (I've got a bit of a busy life these days as well), and I'll renominate the article at FAC once you're ready to support? You're a great reviewer, thank you for taking the time to improve this article, and for your help on James E. Boyd (scientist) in 2011. Disavian (talk) 16:59, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Well, if it would need more eyes, there's not a lot of point in letting it run -- it's not the delegates' fault there's a shortage of reviewers. I think it'll pass next time round. Yes, I'll move the review to the talk page and we can work on it from there. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:41, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Clough

Hi Disavian! Are you still interested in getting this back to FAC? I'd love to help you in terms of the prose. It seems like a good project. ceranthor 03:45, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

I haven't had a huge amount of time this past month, but yes, I'd like to get that one (and Georgia Tech Research Institute) back to FAC. Today's excuse: getting my A/C repaired. Disavian (talk) 18:29, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
Okay, well I do want to help you out! Let me know when you're ready by posting at my talk page. ceranthor 05:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOUR RFC

There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:26, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
