Hey, thanks for taking the time to look at the article and respond to my peer review. The reference stuff was very helpful, and I think I corrected all of the problems you had with the article. I plan on bringing it to FAC very soon, so if you still have any concerns with the article, please let me know. --Torsodog^Talk 15:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Ling's idea

It's not just for FAC; it is intended for all content review. Thanks for the kind words. Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 16:58, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

If you have time,

Since you've been a great help reviewing wrestling articles when nobody else would, do you mind reviewing Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/WrestleMania XXIV? iMatthew 00:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm done and left a few comments. iMatthew 00:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you mind commenting on the rest of the article? ayematthew ✡ 20:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Responded again. ayematthew ✡ 21:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Done, and I'm about to look for a copyeditor. ayematthew ✡ 22:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I had two people, with no knowledge of wrestling look at it (convos on IRC), and both said that they couldn't find anything except a period or two. ayematthew ✡ 22:53, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Done, and good luck on your finals. ayematthew ✡ 02:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments man, I really appreciate your reviews everytime. Btw, I replied to those comments you left :)--SRX 23:43, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I responded again, (I know that was fast ;])--SRX 01:03, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

New proposal at MOS RFC on date linking

Your Nov 25 comment at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)/Date Linking RFC#Year-in-Field links should be made in certain cases is a point I expanded on in a new proposal on that page, so you might be interested in it: "Year-in-Field links in tables and lists are just fine but should be identified" -- Regards, Reconsideration (talk) 17:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

New CFB FAC

Since you've been one of the biggest commenters on my past FAC reviews, I just wanted to let you know that 2006 Gator Bowl is a featured article candidate right now. Any comments, questions, or concerns you'd care to express would be a big help in improving it. Thanks! JKBrooks85 (talk) 07:43, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

I've responded to your suggestions and fixed the problems you raised. Thanks for pointing out the DAB checker for me, btw; I'll definitely be using that a lot more often now. JKBrooks85 (talk) 02:13, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, 2006 Gator Bowl passed and is now an FA, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up that I've submitted a new FAC. 2003 Insight Bowl is waiting for comments when you get a chance. Thanks again! JKBrooks85 (talk) 11:55, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom vote

Hi there! I noticed you voted oppose on my ArbCom candidacy but didn't say why. I was curious as to your concerns, and if there was anything I could do to address them? Thanks very much! --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 00:59, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Normally I don't respond to talk page requests on my page (I go to the other users'), but I'll make an exception since that's what most others are doing. It's not anything personal, but I do feel that better candidates exist this year. I do like the platform of increased speed in ArbCom decisions, but think that other candidates will be better suited for the position due to their having more experience in dispute resolution. Just something to consider for the future. Giants2008 (17-14) 03:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Aye, I admit my dispute resolution experience is rather limited, and I can't deny that's a legitimate reason to oppose me. I've tried to illustrate my responses to other sorts of disputes and provide examples of what limited experience I do have, but nothing can beat the actual, on-the-ground experiences. Anyways, thank you very much for your time. Happy editing! --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 06:10, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Ping

I replied to your concerns here. Maxim_(talk) 01:50, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I've tried to massage some numbers out of the article, feel free to take a second look. :-) Maxim_(talk) 23:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/New York Rangers seasons

Hi Giants, I looked at the article. I do not feel that it is in need of a copy-edit; rather, I left some suggestions on the FLC page. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:34, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Tiny Thompson

You maybe interested in the discussion at Talk:Tiny Thompson, where adding info the article (replacing some of the stats) is being discussed. Maxim_(talk) 22:11, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Lockdown (2008)

The above review has been restarted. Since you commented on it before the restart, I thought to inform you.--WillC 07:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, could you please return to the review so we may sort this problem out with the Wrestling Observer.com and Pro Wrestling History.com references. I removed the Wrestling Observer reference but I believe the PWH ref is fine to leave since it is only sourcing attendance and match times, but I'll let you decide that.--WillC 06:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

2008 Brazilian Grand Prix

Woddup, Giants? I don't know if you normally strike your comments bit in a review in favour of a support, but I've dealt with all your suggestions, except where I explain otherwise, and I think we could be quite near to a close. Thanks for your help. Apterygial 05:09, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

		I don't know how often you get one of these, but for your hard work at FAC and FLC I think you deserve as much as you can get. Apterygial 02:30, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm. I wouldn't rush to it, Ling.Nut's concerns will take a while to fix. Apterygial 00:02, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your commentary at the Jack Kemp FAC. I understand that you might not get around to further review for some time, but I appreciate your commments when you have a chance.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 07:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Dear Giants2008, I hope you had a wonderful New Year's Day, and that 2009 brings further success and happiness! ~ YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 05:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again for your hard work on FAC spotting my errors and faults. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 05:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Lockdown FA

I want to say thank you for supporting Lockdown (2008) in its FAC. It recently passed. You left comments in its second peer review and both of its FAC reviews. Thank you for taking the time out to read it so many times and leave comments also for supporting it in its second FAC review and for opposing it in its first, since it was not ready to become an FA and it helped in the long run.--WillC 03:19, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

2003 Insight Bowl FAC

Changes have been made as you suggested. Thanks again for being willing to review yet another of my FACs. JKBrooks85 (talk) 10:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Sunderland A.F.C. FAC

Hi there, cheers a lot for your review of the Sunderland A.F.C. FAC. I think your comments raised have now been addressed, and if you could have another look over it, that would be great. Thanks. Sunderland06 (talk) 21:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Condolences

Sorry. I picked 'em to play the Steelers in Tampa this year, if it makes you feel any better. Thought Eli could do it again. JKBrooks85 (talk) 09:46, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2008 Japanese Grand Prix

What am I meant to do here? No responses from Ling.Nut, no real impression that any decent responses are going to be given, and you (rightly, in my opinion) disagree with that reviewer over the "incoherent" issue. I am a little upset that some feel the need to disrupt an FAC for personal pride, more than anything else. I heard that FAC could be tough, but I guess I thought it would be tough but rewarding in an improve-the-articles kind of way, but this stupid stalemate is beyond irritating. If we stay in the current position, what happens? Does it get archived? Does Sandy ignore those comments? Apterygial 02:25, 13 January 2009 (UTC) —I've struck these comments, if you don't mind, because that moment of blind stupidity should not be representative of my editing on Wikipedia. Apterygial 12:16, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Understood. The other thing is, Ling hasn't mentioned jargon as an issue, it's more about how I treat all of the drivers and teams when I mention them. I quick skim of the FAC shows it is only mentioned by you. Do you think it's worth putting out a call on WT:FAC for an extra set of eyes (I contacted Malleus and asked him to return a few days ago)? I really cannot stress how grateful I am for your help on this, I've barely been on Wikipedia for four months and friendly help makes it much more enjoyable. Also, I saw the Steelers play the Chargers the other day, man did that look cold. Good game, though. Apterygial 03:18, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Note system

Per your shout I made this change to produce the extra backlink in. I saved it to the list because the process wasn't as simple as I thought, and I experimented within "show previews" of the list. When I got it to work I though I might as well save it there. If you don't like it, please remove or change it. Also if you wish for more explanation that just a diff of what I did please ask. Best wishes, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 00:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Bill Wilkinson

On January 16, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bill Wilkinson, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Sacrifice (2008)

Yeah, thanks for the comments but I've asked to withdraw the nomination since I don't have enough time to undertake the process and I believe I'm going to retire for a month or so.--WillC 19:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

FAC thanks

Even though we ran out of time to complete the fixes, I wanted to thank you for your attention on the History of the National Hockey League (1967–1992) article. I am going to give it a little while before re-nominating, and I expect following your efforts, it should pass easier. I was wondering, if you aren't that busy, if you could complete your copy editing for this article, and possible for History of the National Hockey League (1992–present) as well? I'm in no rush for this. I found with the first two articles that I got better results from your and Dabomb87's reviews during the actual FAC nomination than I got from the peer reviews, so this time I figured I would just bother you before re-nominating so we can all save time. ;o) Resolute 16:21, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Appreciate it. I'm probably going to wait about a month or so before re-nominating, as I know Maxim is looking for another copyeditor as well. But we'll get it up soon enough, then move onto the Rangers glory year.  ;) Cheers, Resolute 01:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

FAC comments addressed...

I think we've addressed all your concerns in the West Point FAC. If you would be so kind as to mark off everything you feel we have addressed and/or make further comments so we can fix them, it would be appreciated. Furthermore, if all of your concerns have been addressed, your Support !vote would be appreciated. — BQZip01 — ^talk 00:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Your concerns have been addressed. Please strike/continue discussion as you see fit. Thanks for the feedback. — BQZip01 — ^talk 00:48, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

2008 Humanitarian Bowl FAC

Hi, I believe all of your issues have been addressed. Since you've struck your oppose, and if there are no further issues that you have, would you mind lending your support? Thanks. Strikehold (talk) 20:06, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Giants, I'm not being too harsh or unreasonable at this FAC, am I? I don't like to think that I am impeding progress. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, that is reassuring. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, I've responded to your comments. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 00:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm more concerned about the generalities and mood of the FAC community than that specific objection, I doubt that can be dealt with. YellowMonkey (click here to vote for world cycling's #1 model!) 01:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

dipping toes in at FAC

Hi Giants, a belated response to your comment about starting to review things at FAC, in the first few reviews I did at FAC last autumn I neither supported or opposed but queried and struck the query when it had been answered. I think I also had a note on my user page that I'd started reviewing at FAC but wasn't yet ready to start voting. If you combine that with remembering that it is easier and more productive to fix a typo in the article than to mention it at FAC, I think you'll find FAC friendlier than its reputation. WereSpielChequers 16:27, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi! All of the concerns that you raised at the FAC have been addressed, and the article has also gone through a thorough copyediting. I was wondering if you could comment again based on the improvements. Thanks! -Drilnoth (talk) 20:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I could you please give me some feedback on how close the article to failure/approval for FAC might be? MisterBee1966 (talk) 17:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Idlewild Park FAC

Hey Giants, I've addressed your comments. Perhaps you'll take another look? Thanks, Grsz¹¹ 19:10, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I found somewhat of an attendance figure [1]. The park does not release their official numbers, but the Laural Highlands Visitor Center estimated around 500,000 in 2007. I'm not sure if this is acceptable for the article or not. Grsz¹¹ 01:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Fedor Emelianenko

I invite you to add another comment to Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Fedor Emelianenko as to whether the use of the flag icons in this article is appropriate or not. Discussion at the articles related WikiProject did not provide consensus because, I believe, the editors involved are not a unbiased party. During the nomination, the flags were removed and then readded to the article. So your participation at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Fedor Emelianenko do establish whether the icons should stay or go is needed. Regards, — Moe ε 22:06, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm looking for some fresh feedback, could you do a review? Ceranthor 20:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok, questions for you. Ceranthor 22:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Fixed those 'which's, I think. Ceranthor 16:36, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

History of the National Hockey League (1967–1992)

Yo! I am intending to renominate this article at FAC, and just wanted to quickly ask if you believe it is ready this time, especially since both you and Dabomb have given it a good look over. Thanks! Resolute 18:43, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

The titles end up in italics because of the {{citation}} templat and its assumption that everything is a book. I was told early on to use either citation exclusively, or cite x exclusively, and since I made heavy use of harvard referencing, I went citation. Thanks again for your look at the article. I will probably list it in the next day or two. Resolute 23:47, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

York Park

Hi, The reason there isn't a transport section is, that there is barely any referenced info to be found about it. I previously moved the transport section to "Structures and Facilities" because it was mentioned in a review of the article. I have once again made a transport section. Regards Aaroncrick^{(Tassie talk)} 09:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

List of New York Yankees team records

Due to some mis-timing, I promoted the list and then found out that Dabomb87 had commented just after I had done so. His comments are here, could you please try to address them as quickly as possible? Thanks, Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you for doing it so quickly. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:36, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

No sweat to either of you. I would have supported anyway. There is one issue I am confused about, see my talk page. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:55, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

New LPGA players photos

Hello, there's bunch of new high quality photos uploaded from flickr into wiki commons, authored by Keith Allison. They can be found in the 'LPGA photos taken by Keith Allison' commons category. Please consider embeding them into existing players' wiki profiles and update this page accordingly. I've sent this message to User:Crunch, User:Dale Arnett, and User:Mudforce so please synchronize :). BR, Wmigda (talk) 18:41, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Minnie's photo is missing due to some problem with the flickr upload bot. I've reported this issue to the bot maintainer (the bot guidelines suggest that if the uploading process takes more than 1 day then there's some problem on the bot side) and if he cannot correct that the I'll try reuploading the pic.
