Hi again
Hi Zad. I started editing again yesterday. I made 2 new short articles, started a third, and then User:Sminthopsis84 asked me if I wanted to help get Cucurbita to FA. She and User:CorinneSD are helping. I'd like Sminthopsis84 to get official credit for it. I was wondering if you could help too. I guess some sort of precheck would be warranted. Nice to chat again and hope you can help out. CorinneSD is a very good copyeditor. I suggested she ask Sasata for input on what to look for. Let's coordinate the talk at Talk:Cucurbita.

- HalfGig welcome back! I will try to stop by the article.

02:25, 10 November 2014 (UTC)- Thank you. But it didn't take long before the meanie nasties came out. I have already been insulted: Template:Did you know nominations/Thomas W. Whitaker. HalfGig talk 10:20, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
- HalfGig I addressed it... and I really don't know enough about the mechanics of DYK to know if I made my copyedit in the right place at the right time, can you help me out with that.

User rights
Hi Zad:
Cucurbita work is coming along. A user is about half done doing a great copyedit review.
So I do some pending changes work and I was wondering if I could the pending reviewer right. Also, what about rollback? I revert vandalism when I see and it would be handy.
Here's my latest article list: User:HalfGig/Articles.
I don't want any rights I don't deserve, just what might make wiki work a little easier. I'm not really sure how to go about all this. Thank you for considering it. HalfGig talk 02:36, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
Done HalfGig, happy to do it for you.

FGM
Hi Zach, I wanted to let you know that FGM was promoted to FA. Thank you for all your help with this on the talk page. It made all the difference having so many people chip in to move things forward. Best, SlimVirgin (talk) 01:37, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
- Wonderful! Delighted for you SlimVirgin and for the article, glad to help out the little I did.

Cucurbita pre-FA
Hi Zad. Can you look at this Talk:Cucurbita#Pre-FAC_comments regarding the part that begins "medical uses of the plant..." and comment and if inclined fix the medical section so it's suitable for a featured level article? Thank you. HalfGig talk 12:28, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
- Finally getting around to it HalfGig, thanks for your patience. I do think some more work is still needed there before FA.
Zad68
03:01, 28 November 2014 (UTC)- Not to worry. Everyone is a volunteer. I already commented there. Please look when you can. HalfGig talk 03:05, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
