Welcome to my talk page. Please leave me a message below and I will reply on your talk page. Although my email address is enabled, it is not an address I check often (so I may be slow in replying to email and prefer to have conversations here). Please also note that while I am glad to do a peer review on just about any article, I do not usually have the time to do copyedits (sorry). Thanks for stopping by and happy editing!

Just thought you'd like to know. I really appreciate everything you've done for this article. Jonyungk (talk) 02:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks. You were the first and only person to complete the course :) YellowMonkey (vote in the Southern Stars and White Ferns supermodel photo poll) 07:48, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Cities
Do we now take the cities out of the PA state park geoboxes? If the vote's yes, I nominate myself to do it. Dincher (talk) 03:37, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
- Okay. Now I have a project to do that may inspire me to do more. Dincher (talk) 20:46, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Pennsylvania park map
I have been aware of the Pennsylvania park map you made for a long time. What amazes me about it is that you can click on a dot on the map, and it leads straight to the respective park.
I am trying to figure out how to design a similar template. I would like for there to be a template with lines each corresponding to a street in a city, that when clicked on, lead to the article on that street. Additionally, there could be other blocks leading to the articles on different landmarks.
Any helpful hints on how to do this? Sebwite (talk) 21:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Kinzua Bridge TFA
Wow...That is unexpected. I wonder if a note should be sent to the DCNR, as it is their photo that's going to be on the main page; they might find it interesting. Niagara Don't give up the ship 18:02, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, I'm willing to try it. Popups are still useful when its comes checking a diff for vandalism by just hovering over the link. Niagara Don't give up the ship 04:07, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Christ myth theory and PR
A little while back you indicated that I might be able to submit the Christ myth theory article ahead of the normal 2 week wait period following a failed FAC. Well, it's been a few days and we've made some minor changes. If possible, I'd like to submit the article for peer review at this time. What do ya' say? Eugene (talk) 19:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
When/if you can spare a little time, could you look at this at PR? It's had a good deal of valuable comment already from some excellent reviewers; however, I'd like a view from someone not primarily associated with music articles. Any time in the next few days. Brianboulton (talk) 23:48, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Just to note (and thanks again)
Hi. Just to note that I have renominated The Avery Coonley School as a Featured Article Candidate now. Since you helped with the peer review, you may wish to comment on the FAC review as well.
Thanks again for your help!
PA Capitol photos
Nice...I especially like the panormama of the three lunettes in a row. Did you go anywhere else in or around Harrisburg? It's kinda ironic that I'm going to be passing near there today, granted only the dome will be visible (but I will see 4859 up close again). Niagara Don't give up the ship 14:19, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
Quehanna
A general read of Quehanna Wild Area. It looks fine so far. I know that the last paragraph of the lead will be fixed. I am sure much of the history can be transferred to Moshannon State Forest. Would you like for me to give it a close read now or wait for PR? Whenever is fine with me. I am going to add the new bits to Shikellamy State Park today. I haven't done a google news research on the PA state parks in sometime. I guess I'll do that too. I caught the info from the Daily Item while I was getting caught up on the local high school wrestling news. Dincher (talk) 22:29, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- I just read the blurb. It's quite funny, but beating wife selling is going to be a challenge. Good luck! Dincher (talk) 02:13, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- You have a good point there. Dincher (talk) 03:13, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the peer review!
I guess I forgot to watchlist the peer review page for Parks and Recreation (season 1) because I didn't see that you conducted a review until now! Thanks very much for doing that! — Hunter Kahn 14:53, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks
I've been beavering away as usual on small streams and, for a change of pace, not-so-famous 19th-century civic leaders in Portland. The latter made me realize I might have enough material to do Jerry Church, the Lock Haven founder, some day. Finetooth (talk) 19:09, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Help with a school article
Hello Ruhrfisch! I noticed that you have been involved in multiple school-related GAs and FAs. Would you be willing to take a look at Benet Academy? It has already passed GA, and I would like to eventually have it pass FAC. I have an open peer review here. Thanks for your time! Benny the mascot (talk) 20:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks! Benny the mascot (talk) 12:22, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

... for doing the review on Gene expression. I will do a review as well in the future when I see a topic that fits my area of knowledge. Thanks, --Firefly's luciferase (talk) 04:26, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
- I have just seen your review. Wow, thank you very much. This gives us a lot to do but also clear information what has to be done specifically. I will do a review later. The backlog list just got bookmarked. :-) Thanks again, --Firefly's luciferase (talk) 04:14, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
April Fools
Request for FA
Hi. I saw you were involved in helping bring an article up to standard for FA. I am wondering if you would be kind enough to skim through Hurva Synagogue to see if there's anything you think needs attention? Gratefully, Chesdovi (talk) 13:43, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
South Fork
South Fork has been vandalized a good bit lately. Could you semi-protect it? The vandals are unregistered users. Best of luck with Quehanna. Dincher (talk) 23:28, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Help requested
Hi Ruhrfisch. I have been contacted by another editor who is willing to assist me at the Hurva article. I know User:Gilabrand, unfortunaely blocked at present, to be very good at copyediting and would appreciate her help here. I am wondering whether it would be in order to unblock her in this instance so she can help promte Hurva Synagogue to FA, especially as I want to get this done asap (for March 15!). Regards, Chesdovi (talk) 23:46, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the support
Thanks (rather belatedly, I'm afraid) for the support for Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov as TFA for March 18. I honestly never suspected it would gather this degree of support. Wow! Jonyungk (talk) 23:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
In response to some of the points you raised in the article's peer review, I've done my best to integrate the info on the TV play and album into one section - how do you think it has turned out? I'm interested in knowing your opinion. Would it be stupid of me to nominate it for FAC? Many thanks for your time (and the very thorough peer review!), - I.M.S. (talk) 01:20, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
- I appreciate it! I don't want to waste your time, however - if you're too busy to read through it, don't bother. - I.M.S. (talk) 18:14, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
I've sent the article to FAC after a pretty thorough PR. Thanks for your help and encouragement. Brianboulton (talk) 13:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Help with problematic editor
Thanks for the congrats :-) Could you help me with a problematic editor? You may have seen a comment thread on my talk, just above the DYK notification, by an editor who keeps removing information from FPT University for multiple problematic reasons. Among these are "I know it's false", claims that a reference should be removed because the link seems to have rotten, and apparent opposition to using a source because it's written in Vietnamese. This user continues to say that a news source is unreliable, but s/he has never offered proof for its unreliability. I just realised that I'm at 3RR, and it's not a case of blatant vandalism, so I can't do anything more. Nyttend (talk) 19:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks; hopefully this will quiet the situation. Nyttend (talk) 20:05, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Would you look at this, which is listed for peer review? To me it looks like the merest sketch of an article, quite unready for review. I think the nominator probably needs some gentle guidance on how to build a Wikipedia article, and you are probably better at doing that than I am. Meanwhile, I have taken the article out of the backlog. Brianboulton (talk) 00:43, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
Thanks very much for your thorough review and copyediting of Arthur—it has certainly improved the article greatly (I only hope it hasn't distracted you from real life). Although you already have a quite a few, I'd like to award you one of these:
The Barnstar of Diligence | ||

It's official
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov will be the TFA for March 18, so time to get out the birthday cake and celebrate. Meanwhile. I'm planning to revamp the Mily Balakirev article and get it at least to GA status, if not better. Wish me luck! Jonyungk (talk) 00:09, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for your help bringing The Avery Coonley School up to FA. Not sure I could have done it at all without your help. Thanks for your great comments, and for helping me start to get an idea of what it takes to be a really good editor. Very much obliged. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 17:13, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Fair use query
Would it be possible for you to briefly revisit the FAC page of Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria, where the fair use of File:PhaecianStoneShip.jpg has been challenged? Perhaps leave a comment if possible. Brianboulton (talk) 18:19, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Thank you
Ruhrfisch, thank you for your comments and helpful hints on my Saganagan Orogeny article.
My husband and I went to Fargo/Moorhead this weekend and while he was at his meetings I haunted two libraries. I didn't find much of anything on this topic (but did on some others I'm writing).
I do have a reference for Vaalbara being the theorized first continent, I'll get that reference in the article.
Again, thank you for your help. It confirms my strong suspicion that it isn't thorough enough.Bettymnz4 (talk) 20:13, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I am planning a FAC for this article about a regional Hindu village god shortly. As such, I request you to please give constructive criticism on article as you gave before my prev. FAC Vithoba (Talk:Vithoba/Archive_1#Ruhrfisch_comments). To point any issues (actually I request all issues you see) on article talk in consideration of FA criteria. For your reference, your comments on Wikipedia:Peer review/Iravan/archive1. I want comments especially in terms of jargon and language. Thanks a lot. --Redtigerxyz Talk 13:25, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Quehanna tornado
Unfortunately, a radar image probably won't be possible as the radar archives from the NCDC only go back to 1995. I did find a site that with photos and other information on the outbreak [1], but it doesn't seem to be relevant to Quehanna. A couple of thoughts after reading it:
- Albion, Pennsylvania was the site of the F4 tornado, not Albion, Ohio
- What areas were the tornado watch and the tornado warning issued for?
- You may want to put in what the approximate size of a tennis ball is, as it is not a standard unit of measure and probably not universally understood.
- I'd mention why "the inversion" moving is significant.
Hopefully Quehanna is chosen for the April 1st TFA, as I'm not finding the other potentials quite as humorous. Niagara Don't give up the ship 20:32, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
- Your welcome, let me know if I should look at anything else. Niagara Don't give up the ship 02:19, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
I've been following the TFAR talk page about this article. Let me know how I can help. Jonyungk (talk) 03:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
- I've read through the article twice so far and will look at it again to see what you've done to the latter part. It's looking exceptionally clean; I'm finding nothing upon which to comment so far. Great work! Hope this makes it for April 1. Jonyungk (talk) 01:49, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- After reading Brian and Geometry Guy's comments on the FAC page, I feel as though I owe you an apology. To me, the article read fine, but I'm not half as picky about issues as they are—or perhaps as I should be. (Perhaps I should retitle this section "Mea culpa". :) ) Yes, I know we work together and all have different talents, and thank goodness those guys are as talented as they are in this area. Still, I feel as though I let you down, though through no intended fault of my own. Jonyungk (talk) 02:55, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Ulysses promoted!
Just to let you know that Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria was promoted over Stifle's oppose. I'd like to thank you for your support, particularly for your helpful comments about use of the non-free image and the soundfile. In my view both of these are important elements in the article, and it would have been a great pity to lose either. Brianboulton (talk) 19:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Another editor has requested a review of this article, claiming there are multiple issues with the article. Could you please give it a once over and leave a list for me to work with? The reviewer is being... difficult IMHO. Thanks again for all of the help you have been providing.
Image muddle
No urgency, but can you help me resolve a small image problem? I uploaded File:MahlerConcertProgramme1907.jpg a couple of weeks back. Then I noticed that I had inadvertently scanned the message at the bottom, which shouldn't be part of the image. See file history: I cropped the message, but my attempts to upload the cropped version failed, so I reverted back to the original. Don't know what I did wrong - how can I get the image replaced with the cropped version? Brianboulton (talk) 00:14, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
section break in Quehanna
It should have gone up a paragraph or so. I put it where you had the original one, and the article needs one about there. Otherwise, it's so long, and easy to lose one's place. Auntieruth55 (talk) 14:45, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Urgent Peer Review request
Hi Ruhrfisch, could you please make a Peer Review for the article Dhaka Residential Model College? Since the article failed to be a WP:Good Article, I have significantly contributed to the article with a view to making it a GA. Recently the article also received authentic copy-edit. Before nominating the article for GA, I would like to have a PR to see if the article still lacks to be a GA. Would you please consider my request? Please inform your opinion in my talk page as soon as possible. Thank you. -- Tanweer (talk) 13:01, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- OK, I will be really indebted if you help. But will you be able to do the PR within this month? -- Tanweer (talk) 14:34, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Map help
A few days ago, I nominated Mummy Cave (written by Acroterion and me) for GA; the reviewer seems to think the article suitable overall, and most of the objections are simple wording issues that have been or soon will be corrected. For some reason, the reviewer is objecting to the sourcing for the basic locator map, File:USA Wyoming location map.svg. Have you ever encountered objections to the sourcing for locator maps in the past? To me, they seem to be basic enough and dependent enough on things such as USGS topo maps that they don't need to attribte a specific source. I'd appreciate your advice as to how to explain the usage of this map. Nyttend (talk) 15:16, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments; there's no way to choose between the maps, but (due to a confusing and inaccurate reason for the change in the first place, which was done without discussion) I've reverted to the previous map, which is better because it includes a map of the USA with Wyoming highlighted. Our reviewer seems to think that this page should be held to a higher standard than the multiple FAs that have dotmaps of this sort, but because I reverted the map, s/he passed it. Nyttend (talk) 22:25, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks very much! I had a hard enough time with this GA review that I couldn't imagine trying to go through the FA review. Consequently, I'm more impressed by people like you with several FAs :-) Nyttend (talk) 04:09, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey it's Hunter Kahn, I did the Parks and Recreation (season 1) page that you peer reviewed for me. The article is up for its second featured article nomination. As far as I could tell, prose issues were the only thing that held up the first FA nom, and now thanks to your peer review, I think they are addressed. However, the new FAC has received very little comments, and I'm worried that it might not pass simply for inactivity. Would you mind perhaps taking a look at it? Much appreciated! — Hunter Kahn 19:33, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
When a Peer Review is finished question
Hello, I'm trying to get into peer reviewing but I need to know the procedure for when a peer review is completed. How long should it remain at WP:PR? Should I add it to the article's talk page right after I finish the review or wait for response? Some insight in wrapping up PR's would be appreciated. H1nkles citius altius fortius 16:59, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for your insight, that's helpful. H1nkles citius altius fortius 15:46, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
- OK I didn't know if I had to finish the review prior to removing it from the backlog, good to know that I can remove it after I've done a large part of the review. Thanks. H1nkles citius altius fortius 03:50, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks and congrats. Dincher (talk) 01:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Film at PR headed for FAC
Hi, Ruhrfisch ... is there any change Fisch and Co could look at Wikipedia:Peer review/The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (film)/archive1? Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 11:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch for the comments at the above; they've been very useful. I must admit a certain lack of regard for wp:lead's requirement that all direct quotations be cited; it's more nuanced than that (no significant difference between "Reviewers cited the 'riveting narrative'" and "Reviewers cited the engrossing story") but I shoved them in anyway. :-) Thanks again for your help, Steve T • C 23:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks to peer reviewers
I've posted a brief thank you note on the PR talkpage to acknowledge the help over the last few days, much of it from new reviewers, that prevented the backlog from spiralling out of control, as I thought it might. By contrast, the 4 days up to 30 March have brought very few new articles to PR, so the backlog just might disappear altogether. Brianboulton (talk) 23:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Ganoga Lake and Ricketts Glen
I saw that you put it up for PR. I am working on starting the 2010 season article for Penn State football. I might try for a DYK if I get the time to work on it and get it ready. Feels nice to be creating something again. Dincher (talk) 21:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

- Do you think we should do the expansion in the main article space or in user space? I am going to start the expansion in user space for now and will wait to hear from you before moving anything to the main article. Dincher (talk) 22:13, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- Might was well try for a DYK. I will create the user space now and let you know. The map looks pretty good. I haven't taken a really close look, but will sonn. Dincher (talk) 22:56, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- The expansion page is at User:Dincher/Bruce, in honor of the colonel and his, to me, funny middle name. Dincher (talk) 23:04, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- I like the map so far. Are you thinking of making it another clickable map with links to the falls and lakes or their articles? That would be pretty spiffy, but I don't know if it's needed or something you want to tackle. Dincher (talk) 23:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Congrats on your latest GA! Dincher (talk) 13:59, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- I like the pic. We need to search for some more/better pictures of birds in the park. The eagle picture is just too far away. Dincher (talk) 13:57, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
I am pretty much finished with the important birds of RGSP and will now use the other information from the pdf for the ecology and other sections of the article. While comparing this IBA info with the info on the IBA at Black Mo, I can across one of your pics that caught my eye File:Black Moshannon SP Pump House 2.jpg is very nice and I think could be a QI on the commons side.

Not only had I seen the Black Mo en espanol, I edited it even. But I completely forgot about doing either. It looks pretty good. Seems to be a straight translation of our work. Do you know what the walls of that pavilion are made of? Looks pretty different. Dincher (talk) 15:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I am trying to link the wiktionary definition of overbrowsing to the article. I know how to link wikipedia to commons, so surely there must be a way to link the dictionary to wikipedia. Do yo know how? I don't want it to be an external link. Dincher (talk) 14:55, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I've been hunting for information on the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company and have found some good stuff, but not many specifics about the land at RGSP. I will continue to look, but was wondering if you had a resource on the logging that occurred in and around the park, specifics I mean. Dincher (talk) 22:45, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Congrats on Ganoga Lake making FA. Very well done! Dincher (talk) 23:00, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- I enjoyed the vacation and I must admit that I didn't think about RGSP at all over the weekend. The mansion article looks pretty good. I am assuming that you've already nominated it for DYK. Correct? Dincher (talk) 23:33, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Well I am sure it will make it when you do nominate it. The bit about getting frustrated with sleeping on a floor of a hotel might make a good hook. Dincher (talk) 23:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to hear that the image didn't pass. I really like it. I am pretty much done with Bruce for the night. I added a few bits and pieces nothing major. Dincher (talk) 23:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
The cabin at Black Mo is nice too, go for it. Have you seen the the discussion going on at Snyder County, Pennsylvania? I think I am being pretty reasonable and the discussion is going well so far. The plans for Bruce sound pretty good. Dincher (talk) 00:22, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I'd like you to make a pano of Fenway and New Bedford which is also on my flickr. Thanks, for offering. I agree, the cyber school article should be started. I will bring this up with the user. Dincher (talk) 00:29, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Peer reviewing
I will have to excuse myself from reviewing for the next few days, as I have to concentrate on getting Gustav Mahler into order, before it too is ready for review. I will continue to manage the backlog, and I'll continue to deal with a couple of current reviews that I'm involved in, but I won't pick up any new ones until about the middle of nect week. I hope this is not too inconvenient, but PR is quite quiet at the moment, so maybe I won't be much missed. Brianboulton (talk) 17:03, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

As you were very helpful when this article was in its formation, could you please consider removing the 'multiple issues' tag that remains on this page. I cannot do anything more to the article: it has had many, many hours spent on it and deserves a 'thumb's-up' I think. All the pictures now have all the relevant copyrights in place, the facts are from citable sources and the tone is as straightforward as I can make it.

Image assistance requested
Hi there, hope you are well. Its been a while since I last called on you, but I was wondering if you could assist me with a map once again. I'm working on an article on a campaign in 1794 in the Sunda Strait and I need a map adapting to suit the article and I was wondering if you could help. The map I need is File:Yojakarta.JPG, and I would need the white boundary lines and the green patch filling in the same colour as the surrounding land, all of the the names removed and "Lampung" replaced with "Sumatra" and "Jabar" replaced with "Java". I would then use the red dots to pinpoint the locations of actions on the map myself. - Is this feasible and are you happy to do it? If so it would be much appreciated, but if not the please don't worry about it. As always, if you need reviews or other assistance I would be more than happy to oblige. Regards--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:17, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, that is great news! I'll sort out the dots myself as they might take some adjustment based on various sources. I'd be happy to look over the article, and will get on it as soon as possible. Many, many thanks.--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- The map is perfect, and extremely quick! Many thanks. I have reviewed the article you suggested, but I had little to add - it was FA standard already and I said so in my review. If you have other articles up for review (particularly GA), then pass them my way and I'll look at those too. Regards.--Jackyd101 (talk) 01:13, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Review
Hi Ruhrfisch. I remember your excellent reviews at PR, and I was wondering if you would be interested in looking over Cerro Azul (Chile volcano)? It needs some fresh eyes, and seeing as you are an excellent writer, I'm sure you could give some beneficial suggestions for the prose. ceranthor 02:50, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for all your help with polishing the article. I'll remember that I owe you a review: a heads up though, mine won't be even close in quality to yours. ;) Thanks again, ceranthor 23:21, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi. I currently have this article awaiting GA, but I have a lot of fleshing out work to do! I was wondering if you could create me a montage using these in this alignment. Cheers. Its just the single image is rather bland by itself... Rather less brash than Vegas eh? Hey I saw that the ice rink in Millenium Park passed FA, I had intended on working on that! At this rate the featured topic looks sustainable. Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Mentor?
Hi,
As an accomplished writer I was wondering if you might be interested in taking a few minutes to offer some mentoring advice.
I recently tried for the first time to get an article through FA and failed. It's been through two peer reviews (and has passed GA). The FA review asked for some specific changes but mostly just said the whole article was poorly written without more detailed feedback. I'm pretty much stuck now, either for a lack of understanding of the FA criteria or for a fundamental lack of writing ability. :-(
The article is Free State of Galveston. At this point I either need somebody to take over the copyediting (since I don't know what more to do with it) or else get some hand-holding from a mentor who can show me the error of my ways.
Please don't feel obligated. Just wondering if you are interested ...
FA nomination help
Could you do what's necessary to make Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Scooter (band)/archive1 viewable to those who review FA nominations? I found the nomination by accident, and obviously it won't get approved, but the nomination appears to be orphaned at the moment, and I can't figure out (1) whether the nomination should be on the "archive1" page or not, and (2) how to make this nomination visible. While I don't know for certain that it's not visible, I expect that it would have been speedily closed a good while ago if it were visible to FA regulars. Nyttend (talk) 13:33, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help! I doubt that I'll ever go for FA; the GA review process for Mummy Cave was difficult enough, and I'm sure that any FA review would be much harder. Nyttend (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer, although I doubt that I'll ever take you up on it. I'm not the type who's interested in researching the same topic for enough time to be able to write a comprehensive article. While I wrote a lot and researched a lot in college, I generally worked with primary sources; consequently, I always find it amazing how many sources FA writers find for their topics. At any rate, my interest is generally in topics obscure enough that there aren't tons of sources; I've almost never written an article longer or more comprehensive than St. John the Baptist Catholic Church (Maria Stein, Ohio), and I always do my best to gather all the sources I can find before I start writing. Nyttend (talk) 01:25, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
- Again, thanks for the help; it's good to have encouragement based on the Bible :-) Sorry for the delay in my reply; we've had a terminal cancer diagnosis in the extended family, so I've been a bit forgetful lately. Nice work on the Clemuel Ricketts Mansion. Nyttend (talk) 02:56, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

IUPAC
Could you review the IUPAC article for me? Thanks. Salamakajakawaka (talk) 21:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think needs improvement. Salamakajakawaka (talk) 14:24, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the honest criticism. I will definately expand the lead tonight. I didn't know about the internal citations being before punctuation, but I will fix that too. I will expand the references to fix some of the links and dates accessed. I will put todays date on pages from there as long as they haven't changed. I will change links so that there is only one example of each link in the article. The books themselve I chose because of they are book series that are recent and have an important niche to people. There are many books that get so specific that very few people will use them. I would consider the books on the page to be notable. I am not sure how to do the alt text. Could you help me with that? Salamakajakawaka (talk) 23:32, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for keeping up on the conversation. I in and out have time to work on the article at IUPAC, but I understand your worries about the books notability. Many of them are later editions of other books, but they get renamed. This would be why some of the older books seem as if they have been ignored.
These books are for the most part notable under: The book is the subject of instruction at multiple grade schools, high schools, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country. They are mostly graduate level books. I will go a little more in depth on what they are used for as it will clear up the problem. After my next batch of edits, I will ask you to look at it again and see if you still think the same way. This will happen either tonight or within the next day or two. Thanks again for all your help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salamakajakawaka (talk • contribs) 21:27, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I've been working on this article off-and-on for some time. It feels like there is considerably more work to be done, but that may be simply my take on it. Could you look it over and give me a second opinion on what else needs to be done? I don't think it's ready for PR and I don't want to divert Brian from the Mahler article at this stage. Thanks!

Peter Green on John Mayall's Bluesbreakers
Hey, please take a look on Wikimedia Commons, there's a photo of Peter Green- which asks for verification that it's a free image. It was originally posted only to Wikipedia by an editor who it appears has a talk page of nothing BUT copyright-removed image notices. A BOT transferred it to Commons. There are two yellow tags asking to have the image checked, (and it still has not been checked) and, it appears the SOURCE is Wikipedia and not some outer source. It's also on John Mayall's Bluesbreakers article, and many other articles on other language Wikipedias but I think everyone is too trusting on this. Would you take a look? Thanks. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 02:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Could I ask for your help on a couple of points?
- Translation from German: I am pretty sure that Das klagende Lied translates as "Song of Lament", but am less sure about "Lieder und Gesänge" which I have as "Songs and airs". Is this accurate?
- On a general point, in the article I have given English equivalents to the German names of Mahler's works, but have generally left other composers' works untranslated. There are many works mentioned, and to translate them all would in my view seriously disrupt the prose flow. Does this seem reasonable? None of the people who have looked at the article at peer review or on the talkpage have mentioned this point; maybe they haven't noticed.
If you could look at these when you can find time I'd be most grateful. Brianboulton (talk) 21:35, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
Too bad..
I'm sorry I was right about the Peter Green photo.. it's being used on a BUNCH of other language Wikipedias. There aren't any others in Wikimedia Commons, but I've already found some more in Flickr that I'll ask for. When I saw the person who posted that photo to Flickr, I knew for a fact it was a 95% chance it wasn't a good move, as "Oddsock"'s whole photostream (to my knowledge) is a collection of stuff he likes. It's good he puts the authors' names on the photos (sometimes, at least), but really, he shouldn't license them under an attribution Creative Commons license there on Flickr --Leahtwosaints (talk) 09:13, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
- WELL! What do you think should be done about that black and white photo of Peter Green that is being used both on this and several other language Wikipedias? Can you speak to the Admins? I did find a good photo of him, that I just placed in the infobox on Green's article, uploaded to Commons for us all to use. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 04:28, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

I should have asked before I left, I know (sorry), but if you have any specific requests, I can look through the photos I got. Perhaps you'll remember that I asked you for help with finding pictures for the Raccoon Creek RDA (Raccoon Creek State Park) but with little results; I drove down there and now have slightly better pictures than this one.

May 2009 Southern Midwest derecho peer review
Thanks for the feedback! There was a lot of content I will be looking over when I have the time since you had a lot of helpful suggestions. Just a couple of quick notes: I had a lot of trouble managing to reconcile this article with the layout from the severe weather wikiproject; usually an article has sections at the end for each of the tornadoes, but since this was a wind storm with a continuous damage path, I had a little more trouble figuring out how to format that. I certainly like the idea of just a larger effects section, (I sort of had a dur moment when I saw that) but I'm thinking of just completely reorganizing the last few sections of the article. So when I have some time, I'll be sure to work on the article and help out with a peer review myself.
Thanks again!

Jordan River (Utah) Review
Thank you for doing the peer review for the Jordan River.
I had been using a couple of different FA rivers as templates, but the Johnson Creek article you showed me is much more applicable to the Jordan River... It really helped out alot.
I think I've hit most of your suggestions. I would really appreciate it if you go over it again to see what I've missed or didn't do correctly. I haven't touched the Ecology section as that needs a rewrite, so just ignore it. I haven't sat down and done any proofreading.... I usually do that a few days after I write so it's a little more fresh. So ignore any spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes. I think after this exercise, I don't want to see, hear or have anyone mention the Jordan River.
btw.... those are very cute chinchillas you have in your photo. Are they yours? I miss my chinchilla Inky... seeing her eat raisins is still priceless. Bgwhite (talk) 01:36, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Peer review backlog
The backlog is growing, and with Finetooth taking a well-deserved and overdue break from reviewing, it's likely to get longer. I propose to post the following banner on every new PR nomination:-
Peer review is backlogged at the moment, which could mean delays of up to two weeks before articles can be reviewed. You can help, by choosing one of the articles in the backlog, and reviewing it. Please consider doing this.
Please amend/expand this wording as you see fit. Do we have any guidance page. e.g. "How to do a peer review" to which we can refer, which might give some confidence to new reviewers?
I will try to up my PR contribution to one review a day, but I am also trying to help at FAC, where Ealdgyth's departure has created a dearth of source reviews. And I'm trying to steer Mahler through the process Ah, well-a-day.... Brianboulton (talk) 10:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Edit warring begin at Jerkcity
Don't know if you might want to get involved in this as an admin, but there's a situation developing over at Jerkcity where a person keeps adding "Also, cocks" to the lead sentence. There is a reference, but it's bogus in that it does nothing other than establish that the comic strip has used the term. The edit summaries and the talk page tell a lot of the tale. Not too surprisingly, today a new editor showed up adding back the phrase as their first and only edit. The comic does actively lampoon Wikipedia, so they may have come in from that angle.
Adding the sentence fragment "Also, cocks" to a lead is borderline vandalism, but just enough on the "maybe not" line that it's become (my first) edit war where I can't blanket revert it as pure vandalism. I'm at 3RR myself on the issue. If you could provide additional input on where to go with this, I'd appreciate it. The whole thing is incredibly silly, but there is an important behavioral issue about creating and supporting useful and properly written content that comes with it. Thanks for any help. -- Michael Devore (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, been so busy last day I haven't had time to look the article over again, but I'll make a probably futile effort sometime this weekend to talk editing sense to the other editor(s). I believe the comic strip has lampooned at least one Wikipedia editor by user name who has displeased the comic's author over changes to its article here, so editing involvement and cleanup may be negatively influenced in general. Me, I don't much care, but I am too busy to handle much foolishness right now. -- Michael Devore (talk) 19:26, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
- Certainly you have done a better job on Talk than I was doing with them (or him). Perhaps they will engage in a more productive discussion of their work with you and thereby gain a better understanding of what needs to be done with the article content, so editing resources can be redirected to more critical articles. We can hope, anyway. -- Michael Devore (talk) 06:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Peer review of Distributed element filter
Thank you for your very useful review of this article. The comments on providing context are particularly helpful to me - it is very easy to fail to see this kind of problem when one has familiarity with the subject. By the way, not identifying the equipment in the lede picture was quite deliberate. The filters have very general applications and I was trying to avoid associating them with something specific, but I can now see that this was a mistake as readers will want to know.
Could you help me out by specifically identifying the WP:CITE violations? I do place citations after punctuation except where a reference is required to a specific phrase mid-sentence. Also, please give me a link to the dab finder, I have forgotten where that tool is. One more thing, can you identify where you are seeing sandwiched text? The only place I see it in my browser is at figure 4, but it is not badly so, at full screen the column of text is still quite wide and in a small window the text unsandwiches itself. The alternative is to place all the images on the same side, but they would then push down into another section which is a little ugly.
Once again thanks, I will be working to incorporate all of those suggestions before nominating for FAC. SpinningSpark 00:41, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
- Is the lede any better now? SpinningSpark 14:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Larry's Creek...
Hi, I came across en:Larrys Creek mostly because I just moved the commonscat Larrys Creek to Larry's Creek. The reason for the move being logic (it looks like a possessive & thus need an apostophe) and this image of a sign which has an apostrophe. Now, I could be wrong and as I'm certainly no expert on this river I thought I'd ask you. Will I change it back to the way it was, or is it in fact correct that it should have an apostrophe? Thanks in advance, Deadstar (talk) 15:15, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Your recent Peer Review of Protein Allergy
Hello Ruhrfisch. I'm just leaving you a quick note about your recent review of Protein allergy. It was a really great review, and all of the suggestions were excellent, thank you! I've asked for an additional peer review not because there was anything lacking with your review, but because I'm feeling like another editor's input is needed (I also did a peer review a while ago at the original editor's request). There's been a fairly strong push to get this article to GA status, which I don't quite think it's ready for, and I'm hoping another peer review will offer some unbiased opinions of the article's status (cause I'm seriously starting to get a complex about being the "it's not ready yet!" squad!). Again, thank you so much for your review, you seem like a really great editor for helping clear the PR backlog! If you ever need a PR or a GA eval, don't hesitate to throw something on my talk page!
