[edit] Articles for Creation

Hello, Chris. Got your message on my talk page. Regarding the proposed article “Zonguldakspor” on the AFC page, which you declined for reliable sources: You may have noticed that one of the sources provided was the same article in the Turkish Wikipedia. I was going to leave a note that the article would be posted in the English Wikipedia if they could provide a translation to English. I am not going to revise your comment, but you might consider it. •DanMS 17:41, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. We might be very distantly related. My mother was a Fowler •DanMS 17:43, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


Hey Chris, I don't know who"tuneintokyo" is but he wrote an amazingly detailed article about me that you declined because some of it wasn't sourced. Most of the info was taken from my old web site as well as myspace.com and the boston phoenix newspaper. My friend showed me the article, it's all true. I'm amazed someone went that far to research it and submit it to wikipedia. You did decline it but it's all right. dtension@gmail.com if you want to talk about it. thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.133.47 (talk) 19:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AFC (again)

Hello again, Chris. You might want take another look at the AFC article “Portsmouth Ladies FC” that you declined. There was a valid link in there BBC but it was hidden in a comment so you might not have noticed it. I’m not sure how notable it is, but it was a valid link. As it turns out, you and I were attempting to edit the same article at the same time but you beat me to it. •DanMS 22:28, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Hmm, more football clubs! I did miss that link, thanks for pointing it out. I have some time right now so I think I will make them a page, although I only have enough info for a stub. Chrisfow 22:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your attention to GA candidate California Gold Rush

Thanks for your attention to the GA candidate California Gold Rush. I appreciate that the GA review process is time-consuming and necessary. Below for your interest is several lines from the Talk page for this article.

"Argonauts" is spelt with both a capital A and a lower case a - yes, I am a pedant!
These cannot stop GA, though, and nor should they. Well done again! Chrisfow 19:43, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your thoughtful attention, and kind words. Careful reading is always appreciated - "Argonauts" is a proper noun in this context, and has now been capitalized throughout. Thank you very much again!NorCalHistory 06:13, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rhodes blood libel

I really appreciate the time and effort you have into reviewing Rhodes blood libel. I believe that the issues with referencing that you have raised in your review are a result of some sort of misunderstanding. I have responded on the talk page regarding the two sentences that you thought were unsourced. If you have any further concerns, feel free to raise them, and I'll be happy to provide or explanations or make corrections. Beit Or 18:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

You recenetly added the "citation needed" links on an article (specifically - 32 fouettés en tournant.

I was wondering how one can site a source if the information was obtained from a book and not a web page.

Mrlopez2681 03:30, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I've answered on your talk page Mrlopez. Chrisfow 15:50, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA stats

Last month you updated the stats and you found where to find the total number of Wikipedia articles. Where did you find that number? I am updating the stats right now for December. --RelHistBuff 11:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page! Chrisfow 18:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks! California Gold Rush

Well, thank you to you . . . your GA assessment was an important step on this very interesting path. Thanks for the congrats and thanks for your earlier work! NorCalHistory 01:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hazel Miner

I think I've fixed the things you mentioned. Anything else that needs to be done? --Bookworm857158367 18:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hazel Miner

Thanks. It's fun to see my "pet project" reach GA status. I've put a lot of effort into it this week. --Bookworm857158367 18:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hazel_Miner"

[edit] Simele massacre

Hi their. I want to first thank you for taking the time and giving a throughtly review of the Simele massacre article. Regards to this; The list of 54 villages adds nothing to the article. Either leave in two or three of the biggest, or else cut them out entirely and leave only the statement In the end, around 63 Assyrian villages were targeted in the Simele area - referenced, of course. - I have put the list in table. What do you think of this specific issue now? Does it look better? The listed villages are crutial because today their is an ongoing war between the Kurds and Assyrians for claiming these village's lands. Chaldean 15:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No...

Trust me, I know what you mean when you I read what you said here. Yesterday, I was working for 3 hours on an article, expanding and adding citations, and I unconsciously closed that page's tab, without saving! I was devastated! I even considered leaving this place or at least taking a wiki-break. :D If you're wondering what the heck do I want, the answer is nothing, just making small talk. Good job on those GA reviews by the way. Cheers! - Anas Talk? 21:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed from a historian

Hi! I have been looking for a history wikipedian and I have found your username. I was wondering if you could, and would (if it is not too much trouble) help me with a merge that I have proposed. The articles in question are: Neapolitan War and Austro-Neapolitan War. They both refer to the same conflict that took place in 1815. I have put foward this topic in the following discussion. I am undecided in the re-naming of the article. I think that Austro-Neapolitan War would be the best. I would like to know your opinion and if you could guide me in this merge. I hope not to bother you and if you are very busy or have no idea, thanks anyway... Francisco Valverde 21:19, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

  • It's true, there doesn't seem to be a lot of information on this conflict (should it be called a "war"?), although one of the battles of this war, the Battle of Tolentino according to its corresponding article is considered the first battle of Italian Unification. See the reference to the proclamation of Rimini (in Italian) [1]. I have only found one source in the web about this war [2]. I have looked through the Italian wikipedia, but there is even less information. Francisco Valverde 12:21, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
  • I have also found a page in English of the association that re-enacts the Battle of Tolentino.[3] --Francisco Valverde 12:27, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Late reply

Hello Chris, just wanted to let you know I've replied to your note on my talk page. (Just letting you know here because I haven't logged in for a few weeks) - thanks! delete this at will! Jessicapierce 17:43, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GAC backlog elimination drive

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manzanar

Hi -- I saw you'd added a note that IvoShandor is reviewing Manzanar. There's been no activity on that review for a while, as far as I can see, so I removed the note on the GAC page to give someone else a chance to review it instead. (I did leave a note for IvoShandor on his talk page too; he didn't reply, but to be fair he was going through a very stressful RfA at the time.) So I was wondering if you knew something I didn't -- do you know if he is planning to continue the review? If not, I suggest we remove the note so someone else takes it -- it's not really fair to the article editors to leave it under review without working on it for more than a week or so. Thanks -- Mike Christie (talk) 14:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I see the subpage; don't remember if I spotted it before; it looks like there's been no activity on IvoShandor's part for nearly three weeks. I think the best thing is to replace the GAReview note on GAC with a note explaining the existing review is not complete and it needs another reviewer; I'll go ahead and do that. Thanks!

[edit] July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

[edit] Welcome: WP:PIRACY

Hey I saw you joined and just thought I would welcome you! As you will soon find out it's a pretty much inactive except for a few members.... Anyway. I saw what you posted about your paper and it sounds great! The only problem is you can't cite your own original research......sooooooooo......I or someone else might have to get a copy of your work to be able to cite it. Anyway, welcome! Also if you are interested in helping out at Portal:Piracy that'd be great (I'm the only contributor to it). And I just realized I forgot to create the December articles. So I gotta go do that now. If you have any questions or anything about the Wikiproject or Portal, feel free to ask me or on the WP's talk page. Thanks! Deflagro C/T 04:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
