[edit] Flemish Renaissance painters

Please stop adding Early Netherlandish painters to the Flemish Renaissance category. It is not appropriate for the likes of Jan van Eyck. Several could however be added to Category:Early Netherlandish painters, which is the usual term in art history for those active in the 15th century. Whether they were part of a Renaissance movement is the subject of much debate and not a suitable basis for categorization. See also Netherlandish. Johnbod (talk) 00:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cat:automatically assessed Albums articles

I see you've created this category page, and then deleted it as a test, but it appears to be being (quite heavily) populated by {{album}}. Any objection to me recreating it? Alai (talk) 23:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

None whatsoever! --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 08:46, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
On second thoughts, it looks like there's a pluralisation issue here, so I'll kick for touch in the general direction of WPJ-ALBUM. Alai (talk) 18:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fimbulwinter (band)

Hi- just writing to ask you to reconsider the speedy deletion of the above article. The band contained Shagrath, member of notable bands including Dimmu Borgir and Chrome Division, as well as a member of Ulver, meaning it meets point six of our music notability guidelines. On top of this, there is an article on another Wikipedia, and though this does not confer notability, it implies it should at least be given a chance. If you are still concerned about the article, I will be happy to do a little work on it. Note coverage on Rockdetector and many mentions regarding the history of Dimmu Borgir, but be aware that the dates of the band make internet coverage hard to come by. J Milburn (talk) 17:24, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I've restored it and moved it into my userspace; if you're happy with the article being restored, let me know, and I'll move it back. J Milburn (talk) 17:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I've recreated it after improvements. J Milburn (talk) 21:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Looks fine to me. Keep up the good work! --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 19:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Someone you know

Hi, Hemlock. You know me, don't you? First, I apologize for some of the comments that I made about you. I am sorry. You have made some wonderful contributions and I learned about categorization from you. I need you help. Are you willing to cooperate? Thank you. RS1900 11:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I didn't expected you to reply. I've to remove few things from your talk page archive. They are personal things. After that, I will not contact you. I am waiting for your response. Thank you, RS1900 11:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I apologize for not replying sooner, I've been quite busy for the past few days and my silence was not intentional. I fully and wholeheartedly accept your apology and am glad you've come back to make positive contributions to the encyclopedia. Please feel free to remove your comments from my archives, in the spirit of moving forward. And don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at all. Happy editing! --Hemlock Martinis (talk) 19:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you, Hemlock. In the past, I tried to hide facts. I got into trouble because of that. I've to say something. I have send you an email. Thank you. RS1900 11:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vital Articles Proposal

Just wanted to say that your proposal is great. It's BOLD and well thought out. Because we had to agree as a whole or oppose, I have had to register my beliefs as a weak oppose; but I agree with an overwhelming number of the individual changes made in your "omnibus bill." Plus, it's great to have you back on the project. Postmodern Beatnik (talk) 18:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Peer Review help

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.

1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...

2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.

3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.

Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
