[edit] Get Crazy

Hi Kevin, great article you started there! I added categories and refreshed the infobox code. It has enough content to become class stat easily (and not too far from class B even). If you can form two of the required sections (see upgrading instructions in the talk page) it's there. I would say "Production" and "Reception" can be split off the lead section and expanded a bit. Cheers! Hoverfish Talk 08:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for the pointers on improving the Get Crazy entry. I added some sections (Production, Reception, Soundtrack) and put some research into them, along with a bit of reorganization of other facts that fit those sections. Kevin Forsyth 15:24, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Good work! I am not good in assessing beyond class start, but from experience I know it's close to class B. Although I do a lot of work for WP Films, I'm often not sure when a film is a "Musical". Imdb makes a distinction between musicals and music films. However we don't seem to have Category:Music films. Would you say that this film belongs to Category:Musicals? Hoverfish Talk 16:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it a musical? Interesting question. (My first thought is to say it's not like a typical musical, where characters burst into song to express their feelings or dramatize a plot point — but whether or not that's a fair way of categorizing a musical is a whole different question.) It's more like The Blues Brothers, where musical performances are an integral part of the film. I see BB is tagged with "Category:Musical comedy films" — perhaps that's a good place for Get Crazy. On the other hand, the "Musical films" category is more broad-ranging and includes plenty of movies that are similar in use of music, such as Nashville... so I'd go with two categories, "Comedy films" and "Musical films".

[edit] Chicago Board of Trade Building

You made some intersting contributions to Chicago Board of Trade Building, which was a recent WP:CHICOTW. Since it will be nominated as a WP:GAC in the near future, it would be great if you could add citations in keeping with much of the other editorial work on the page. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 00:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I added a couple of references to Chicago Board of Trade Building, as I could. Unfortunately I don't have a good (print) reference for the item about the pedestrian bridge over Van Buren being closed — this is info I learned in conversation with CBT's Director of Security in 2004.

This one was quite a team effort. I thank you for your help. You may want to post this on your user page: (FA userbox moved) TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 22:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Walter Adams

I was going over my list of people/things I should eventually write Wikipedia articles about, and I was delighted to discover that (since I last checked) you provided a great one for Walter Adams. Kudos and thanks! Kestenbaum 16:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks, and a suggestion

THANKS for your many nifty edits fixing things in Croton Dam (Michigan)... much appreciated. Also, I noticed this Image:Checker A-11 Taxicab 1982.jpg ... since it's freely licensed would you consider moving it to Commons so all projects can use it, not just this one? I have to get out to the Gilmore one of these days, I hear it's pretty neat. BTW my daughter started MSU this year. Happy editing! ++Lar: t/c 18:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for your help with this article. It was recently nominated for GA and passed. ++Lar: t/c 16:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Get Crazy

Hi, I made some suggestions at Get Crazy's peer review. --BelovedFreak 19:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your GA nomination of Walter Adams (economist)

The article Walter Adams (economist) you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:Walter Adams (economist) for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a reassessment.

Lol, I saw that. Just use !nosign! in your edit summary and it won't touch you. Cheers :) --slakr\ talk / 17:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MSU Vietnam group

hi there Kevin. I just saw this great article. I was wondering if you were intending to polish this article up for FA or anything, because I'll be glad to help you. I've done a lot of work on the Diem era of South Vietnam and am somewhat aware of Fishel and Scigliano's works - I have read some of them. Best regards, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Obviously not to the extent of your books...I only have about five pages on the MSUG and Diem working together (from general history books rather than specific ones)....The rest were simply papers and such written by Fishel and Scigliano.Blnguyen (vote in the photo straw poll) 06:51, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Kudos on the Michigan State University Group article. This is something I had never heard of before, and I'm always pleased to learn new things about my alma mater. Lovelac7 08:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Landmark District reports

I saw your edits on the Ukranian District page. Do you have access to the new landmark reports?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 19:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

For all the new landmarks or just this district?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 19:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
