Query
editYour aim is "to provide assistance against the struggle with vandalism"? Am I reading that right? Peridon (talk) 21:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Mariah Carey (album) reassessment
editHi Alastor,
I'm sorry but I have to catagorically disagree with your GA reassessment. See my comments at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Mariah Carey (album)/1 and also see a rapidly developing discussion at [WT:GA Nominations#Mariah Carey (album)].
No hard feelings and no offense but the album needs a lot of work. And even though I'm a fan myself the prognosis is not good lol -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 (talk2me) 21:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- GA requires a good standard of prose and the article does not have a good standard of prose. It fails on mnay basic things like using "Speech Marks" correctly and even including pages numbers for book sources and referencing. It was an opinion shared by the original reviewer. GA criteria also requires articles to be broad in their coverage. This article reads like an advert for "Vision of Love". The things I've noted are similar things I've been told when i've had my own song artiles re-assesed and even when I've nominated things for GA. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 (talk2me) 19:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
I Invented Sex
editThanks for your feedback. However I have to disagree with you on somethings. First of all to begin with, I don't know what to correct without a proper GA review to go by. Also, I've worked on the article for some time and it is "broad in its coverage" as it can get and expansive. If I do say so myself as long as articles cover the topic well itself, the complete size as a whole doesn't matter, as seen in GA's Favorite Girl, and U Smile, and several other articles I have reviewed and nominated myself. I am hoping you will reconsider and at least do a complete review of the article before I nominate it for reassessment. Candyo32 20:58, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

FAC votes
editHey, nominators will probably appreciate that you support so often, but I noticed you hardly drop more than a line even for long articles. Every pair of eyes looking at a nomination is valuable, so please engage in some critique, too. Hekerui (talk) 09:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- The thing is, there is discussion on a talk page to the effect that you supported eleven articles, totalling 500K of prose, in twenty minutes, which they say you could not have read in that time. So your supports are likely to be disregarded unless you substantiate them. With that said, thank you for your support of Lincoln cent, but I'd be grateful if you made more comments. Thanks, welcome to FAC, and hope you have a long stay!--Wehwalt (talk) 14:53, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
- I was actually going to post about this, but I've been beaten to the punch! We really appreciate all the help we can get at FAC—especially since this is volunteer work and we all live busy lives full of work, school, and other hobbies—but it is a good idea to supplement all support/oppose comments with some sort of textual reference. Even if you are supporting, I'm sure you can still find minor quibbles! —Deckiller (t-c-l) 03:37, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
- As Wehwalt pointed out before, it seems highly unlikely that you even bothered to go through those articles before you struck a support. So another spree of going on adding support the next time shall be neglected. Like Deckiller, I'm sure you must have something to say about an article, everybody does. — Legolas (talk2me) 18:06, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps you should consider the idea that someone might review a selection of articles, then post all the supports at once? Of course, it is easier to assume bad faith, but just saying it's a possibility. AD 12:35, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
- No, I just can't. — Legolas (talk2me) 15:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
- Assuming good faith is not optional - it's part of our 5 pillars. Until there is an explanation, we should assume the votes were made thoughtfully and appropriately. AD 15:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
X-Men video games FLC
editHi. I was wondering if you could comment further at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of X-Men video games/archive1. Nomader and I do not see where the lead can be expanded and hope that you could clarify. (Guyinblack25 talk 15:48, 16 December 2010 (UTC))
Hey. You had weighed in at the first FAC for South Park (season 13), which got hung up largely because of the image. Now there is a second FAC discussion ongoing, where once again the image is dominating the conversation. At the FA delegate's suggestion, I am asking everyone who participated in the first FAC to weigh in once again, if it's not too much trouble, but please comment on the full set of FA criteria rather than just the image fair use rationale, so we can work toward a consensus on the overall FAC. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 17:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I hope you don't forget this FLC. Since your last post on 12th December, you haven't visited and didn't address your comments.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 12:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
