[edit] GA Review

Thanks for your review, edits and suggestions on Egyptian Theatre (DeKalb, Illinois). I worked hard on the article and hope to improve it further. Information is sparse beyond what I have. I have been looking for some good books on Egyptian Revival but have yet to find reference to the architect, perhaps he isn't notable enough, not sure. I also put in a request with the National Register of Historic Places for the nomination form which are usually full of info about every facet of the listing. So hopefully I can improve it further. Thanks again. IvoShandor 07:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Also your user name is very humorous. : ) IvoShandor 07:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GA nominees task force/GAC backlog elimination drive. However, I have some concerns over your recent promotion on few articles. You didn't show us why the article is promoted to GA. Please read Wikipedia:Good article candidates throughly before doing any evaluation. If you need an example, you can take a look at Talk:Kritosaurus#GA Review and see how it's done properly. OhanaUnitedTalk page 19:14, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your information. I thought you didn't go through the checklist (as someone did at the moment) so I was just brining the checklist to your attention. It may be best to use the checklist to show others that you did check for them. The checklist is not mandatory in the review, but strongly encouraged to be used.

[edit] Rookery Building

I made some comments at Rookery Building. I attempted to address your comments for the on hold. Though I don't agree that the picture issue should keep this article from GA once the expansion I did on "light court" is considered. If you think anything else needs addressed let me know and I should be able to accomodate, I own several sources. If everything is a-okay, then go ahead and pass it or do what you do. : ) (Note: I didn't work on or nominate the article in question until today). IvoShandor 20:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New England Quarter GA Review

Hi Meowist; thanks for your comments on the New England Quarter GA nomination. I've addressed the points you made, and have updated the talk page. Hassocks5489 20:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for coming back so quickly and passing it! Hassocks5489 22:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Samuil

Greetings! In my mind some of the moments you have pointed out don't need clarification. But I will try to discuss them one by one.

Aron "sympathized with the Romans". In fact that doesn't sound very well in Bulgarian too but these are exactly the words of Skylitsa; he used that collocation in other cases regarding some of the Bulgarian Khans in 8th century who supported a peace with Byzantium.

As far as Roman is concerned he was castrated, so what is to be clarified here: ) The same can be said for the wound of Samuil: it healed at such an angle, because of the journey home; the distance was too great and they had to reach a major fortress as soon as possible, so they could not properly take care of the wound. Again the same for the battle of Skopie, the Byzantines defeated the Bulgarian army in almost the same circumstances as they did at Sprecheios which was very strange indeed having in mind that Samuil was a skilful general.

So you might now ask me exactly what do you want to know for the points that need clarification (as well as other question for the matter). If you wish you might move that to the talk page of the article. --Gligan 15:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hellenistic Civilisation

Hi, I see a comment from on you on this translation requested Wikipedia:Translation/Hellenistic civilization to say you have started it, if so could you please change the stage to 2, and put your name against it, so that it is no longer at the requested stage... if you are not working on this please let me know, I will be happy to take this one up... :-)--Mayalekhni 23:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Reviews

It has been a few days since you selected Diet of Japan, Reincarnation research and Renewable energy commercialization in the United States from the Good Article candidate list. I was wondering whether things are progressing or if there has been some unforseen delay. -- Johnfos 10:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

When you get a chance, would you mind responding to my questions about your comments at Talk:The History of the Fairchild Family? Thanks. Awadewit | talk 09:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References in multiple columns

Hi - I saw your comment in the GA review for Seige of Eritria regarding having refs/footnotes in multiple columns. This can be done in two different ways:

  • using {{reflist|2}} (or even {{reflist|3}} for three columns). This will also reduce the text size slightly to further compact the list.
  • using the full wiki markup, which is <div class="references-2column"><references /></div>. This gives the columns but won't reduce text size.

You should also know that some browsers have a problem with this, so sometimes even with the multi-column markup refs will only appear as a single column (ie the IE7 browser I'm using now at work always shows one column, but my Firefox browser at home renders correctly).

More info on this is at WP:FOOT. Hope this helps ;) EyeSereneTALK 08:38, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Chabon GA review

Hey, thanks for reviewing this article! I believe that all of your suggestions have been addressed (I've also added a little text about the writing and release of Chabon's novel Kavalier & Clay.) Thanks again, Hobbesy3 04:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A reminder

[1] is awaiting your review :) D. Recorder 17:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Well on second thought, I'm withdrawing the nomination for now. I just finished a second wind of research and will be expanding the article in the next few days along the lines of the notes on the talk page. By all means, still leave comments if you would like :) D. Recorder 18:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review for Mamilla

You have tagged this article at WP:GAC with the GAReview tag on 20:39, 29 July 2007, which is now going on six days. Please either review the article or remove the tag so that another editor may review it. Thanks! Dr. Cash 20:15, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Since you didn't respond, and left the GAReview tag up for 11 days after posting it (July 29-August 8), I removed your tag and reviewed this article. Dr. Cash 04:33, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA hold on Cheddar Gorge and Caves
