[edit] GA Review

Hi, The GA Review process does allow articles to be put on hold for minor revision. In the case of Alpheidae, however, I felt the changes required were too drastic to allow them to be completed in such a short period. MidgleyDJ 03:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

no problem, it wasn't my article, just an article that I liked. 69.140.164.142 15:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism of Wal-Mart

I have removed the POV tag that you placed on the 'Product Selection' section of Criticism of Wal-Mart. You left no explanation for why you added the tag on the article's talk page, so I consider your action null and void. Two editors (three, if you cound myself) also disagree with you and see no POV problems with that section. If you would like to replace the POV tag, please explain your actions on at Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart, or your tag will be reverted again. Dr. Cash 19:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I have reviewed your "comments" in adding the POV tag back, and reviewed the section in question, and completely disagree with your "assessment" regarding those statements, as I can't find any POV in those sentences, so I have removed the POV tag. If you'd like to be more specific on this, please bring it up on the article's talk page instead of modifying the article directly. Dr. Cash 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Although I think the POV of the paragraph in question (bear in mind this is just one paragraph, not the whole article!) is somewhat obvious, I agree that I could have been more explicit in my comments, and so have edited the comments directly. Please do not remove the {{POV-check-section}} tag unless either
* the POV of the section in question is made more neutral, or
* you have some more specific defense of the way the paragraph is written besides a mere conclusory statement that it is NPOV.
Also remember that {{POV-check-section}} is a much milder tag than {{NPOV}} mentioned at the top of the article.

I have moved your comment on Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart to the bottom of the page, Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart#NPOV in emergency contraceptive pagagraph. The section that it was previously in (Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart#NPOV problems) pertained to an AFD nom (in particular this) and is completely unrelated to what you're talking about.

Thanks. 69.140.164.142 03:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chronic fatigue syndrome

I don't think adding a {{POV-check}} box makes an awful lot of difference. There are already editors from both sides of the divide gradually working this article to a higher level. I agree that much needs to be done. How about getting a username and participating in the longer term? JFW | T@lk 05:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

One of the editors working on the article inserted a warning note that seemed in my opinion to be inflammatory, so I replaced it with the more standard {{POV-check}} box. On the one hand there is a need to flag the article as being the subject of some dispute, but on the other hand the flag should not itself be POV.

[edit] Re: AFC/Peer Review thingie

Reply to [1]

I rejected your request because the Articles for Creation process is intended for the creation of articles for Wikipedia. Since I did not see a peer review template on the talk page of the article, I assumed you had not read the procedure at WP:PR and moved on to other submissions. Since you've come to ask about it, I will open the peer review now, but please be aware that I will not be involved in this peer review process and will not relay any messages regarding it. If you intend to continue contributing in this manner, I would highly suggest opening an account to allow you to participate more easily in these processes. Due to the volume of requests we receive daily and the amount of backlogged requests we still have to review, WP:AFC really cannot continue to create project pages such as this one. It's also not the most reliable of systems, because you risk a long delay between your request and the creation of the page, as well as getting a reviewer who doesn't really know what you're trying to do, both of which happened in this case, for which I do apologize. Thank you for seeking me out about this, and again, please strongly consider making an account. Hersfold (talk/work) 12:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Successful AFC

Your nomination at Articles for Creation was a success, and National Passenger Rail Corporation was created. Please continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia, and please consider registering an account. Thank you. Hersfold (talk/work) 17:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
