Thank you for your work at FAC during April

The Content Review Medal of Merit

Dirty Dancing

Hiya, I was wondering if you could help with an article I'm working on? I've taken Dirty Dancing through two peer reviews, GA status, a rejected FA nom, and literally scores of hours of work, but no matter how much time I put into it or who I've asked to look at it, the FA reviewers keep saying "not good enough". I'd still really like to get it to FA, especially before Patrick Swayze dies.  :/ If you have time, could you take a look at it and see what magic you could do, to make it more "wiki"? Thanks, --Elonka 14:54, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

See if your FAC requests (but the passive) were fulfilled. igordebraga ≠ 23:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: WT:FAC

I was not implying that you were simply writing that; I was simply stating that "Does the prose truly meet the required professional standard at WP:FACR?" isn't exactly useful; reviewers should provide concrete examples of where, or do it themselves, otherwise it's not helping the nomination. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 11:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

And, like I said, I was not aiming my comments at you, I was just springing off them. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 11:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks!

RfA: Many thanks
Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 05:58, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Benjamin Franklin Tilley

You left some good comments on this article's FAC, but there's not that much interest either way. Are there any suggestions that you could make for improvements to this article that might better make it qualified for a Featured Article? If it doesn't get promoted (currently no supports, no objects), I'm looking for things that I could improve so that it would either be worth supporting now or worth a second pass through FAC later. Thanks for your assistance and comments so far. JRP (talk) 00:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Requesting a copy-edit

Can the BuddingJournalist have a close look at this article. Thanks, - KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 20:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the response.Though your point about redundancy in the first sentence is valid I am not able to modify the sentence satisfactorily as either the bold heading is lost or the sentence looks awkward. Maybe my mind has got too hooked to the article and is resisting change. Hence you might be able to do a better modification. - KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 09:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, just wanted to inform you that I have modified the first sentence as you said. Thanks. - KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 (talk) 10:26, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Gilberto Gil

I was wondering if you'd be able to copy edit, or at least look at, Gilberto Gil, an article I'm trying to get up to FA standard. It recently failed the first FAC and one of the primary concerns raised was prose quality. I've seen your excellent comments at other FACs with regard to prose and other issues and your listing here; if you're up to it, drop me a line. Thanks, --Kakofonous (talk) 16:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Facebook

A note to say that I got your message, but since Gary indicated a day or two ago that he's working on, I'm gonna hold out a little longer. Great work on the review. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:08, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
