Treehouse of Horror III

Explain to me why you feel Image:Treehouse of Horror IIIa.jpg should be removed, "if it shows him being drowned" it clearly shows the clown trying to kill Homer, which is discussed in the text, and the main plot of the episode Ctjf83 talk 08:54, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

it does say "After numerous attempts on Homer’s life" in the text, and that is clearly an attempt on Homer's life. so to make a pic available, do i need to go back and get one of the doll chocking him, or with the knife in his hand? what qualifies as low res? 800x600? 1024x768? Also, if ur going through GAC, can you go up one number from this, and do my Realty Bites? it's been a month, and i'm anxious to see if it passes Ctjf83 talk 09:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
so, my other question....do i need to take a new pic of the doll chocking him, or with the knife in his hand or just not worry about pics...i like to have one for each THOH "episode" Ctjf83 talk 09:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
i hate to be impatiant, but i really am! lol...can u review Realty Bites it is over a month, and one of the 5 longest ones waiting to pass the GAC Ctjf83 talk 04:34, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

GA review template

Hi Shudde,

Thanks for your comment here. Your comment is greatly appreciated. I don't know what else to say: I don't like the ideas of adding levels of bureaucracy to GAC, and I agree that such changes will only cause the process to become indistinguishable with FAC, leaving no place for articles which are not and may never be suitable for FAC. Firsfron of Ronchester 19:31, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I don't know what Ling is trying to do. The consensus seems to be that it's not an ownership issue, so I don't know what he is trying to achieve. - Shudde talk 19:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't know; it's clear he's making a good-faith effort to improve the GA process, but the template says nothing indicating ownership of an article (or a review), and Ling's proposal in September was almost the exact opposite of this one: instead of "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", his proposal was that GA reviewers would not be allowed to edit the reviewed article... or at least would not be allowed to touch the citations in the article. Going from "I propose so-and-so cannot edit" to "this template may conceivably cause someone to think s/he can't edit" is such a drastic change. Change can be good, but going from one extreme to the other won't help. Firsfron of Ronchester 19:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Realty Bites

Please re-review the article, as the problems you addressed have since been fixed. xihix(talk) 03:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Ctjf83 (talk · contribs) and I noted some of the changes we made to address your GA Review points, in a section below your Review on the article's talk page. Thanks for your time! Cirt (talk) 18:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC).
I'm not sure what else you want me to put for the house? That is all they say about it...I think it is like an old Victorian Mansion, but since I can't verify that, I don't think i should put it in Ctjf83 talk 00:56, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
ok, so you want me to put "A" was killed by "B", because of "reason" or something like that? (I'll have to rewatch to find specifics). Also, what do you want oh Phil Hartman? We are having trouble finding much on him Ctjf83 talk 19:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
I fixed the house and added one more line about Phil. Gran2 says that is everything there is to the retiring of the characters Ctjf83 talk 19:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Opus Dei Good Article Review

I agree with your assessment on this topic. You are the rightful person to close this because you are neutral and you started this topic. Your argumentation was correct.

That Rugby Infobox

In the RL section of the rugby combo infobox the State Representative section of a RL career is entitled " State of Origin". Whilst this is great for post-1980 rep careers it's not accurate for pre 1980 when the selection criteria was not Origin based. Can you help me hcnage this to "State Rep" or something similar. Whilst I'm okay with completing templated boxes , I'm not real good at changing them. Do you know how to do this ? -Sticks66 (talk) 08:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thx. On the same score, to have the box accomodate Kiwi and Welsh dual rugby-code internationals then maybe the "State Rep" header is too limiting. Can you tell me how it works in NZ ? Before a RL player represents for New Zealand, is he likely to have represented at a regional or provincial level ? -Sticks66 (talk) 00:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: DYK and GA

For DYK, I didn't choose the hooks to be updated, form the looks of it it was a new user who doesn't completely understand which are chosen when just yet. I went and talked to said user. As for Luis Castillo, I'll do waht I can, but send a message to User:Stormtracker94, since it's his article. Wizardman 23:50, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I have fixed almost all of the issues and would like you to take a look at it again whenever you have the chance. If I still need to fix anything, please tell me. STORMTRACKER 94 22:39, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Your copyedit request

On 15 August 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit on England national rugby union team. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we aplogize. Since your request, this article has been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth (talk) 18:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Warwick Armstrong - GA review

Thanks for reviewing Warwick Armstrong. I have addressed all the points raised in some manner and have some queries about some. When possible, could you take another look? Also, I am not sure if the examples of weasel words you provided were exhaustive or if there are others in the article that you wish me to remove? Finding dates for the photos will be difficult but I have someone on the job. Again, thanks. -- Mattinbgn\talk 10:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Highlanders (rugby) peer review

Hey Shudde, I've added a load of comments at the peer review, hope they help. Give me a shout if you need anything more. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your note!

I really appreciate the input! My main question for Raul was about the refs, and if there was some "minimum number" for an article to achieve FA. I definitely do understand that the article is still far away from achieving much more than B-status. Lots of work to do, but I think the framework is there to build a fine article. And once it's expanded, you're certainly right: the lede will need to be much longer. As for GA, I've had friends who were burnt by some rather vacuous commentary on articles there, so I was a bit hesitant to try that route. Is that a commonly accepted first step for FA? Is an article expected to achieve GA first? -- Bellwether BC 00:53, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

All Blacks v France FAC

No worries. I hope I'm not being too picky, FA's are, as they say, "examples of Wikipedia's finest work" so I'm determined to ensure anything I'm involved in fits into that category...! I'll go through my comments and strike accordingly. Then I'll "hide" stuff that's finished and create an update of things I'm still concerned about (if any!)... All the best...

Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates/Co-directors

I have gone through your portal contributions and you seem to be very good at portals. Would you like me to put you down as featured portal co-directors? Our main duty is to ensure that when someone closes any nomination, it reflects the consensus and follow all the steps when archiving the nomination. OhanaUnitedTalk page 09:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

The answer to your 1st question is that current consensus believes that everyone can close nomination. However, if someone can't follow those steps for closing (which I believe is very easy to understand and follow), then I will raise this concern at the talk page to establish a new consensus. For your 2nd question, we never have that problem yet because almost always it's closed by the directors themselves (unless they have conflict of interest).

WP:AFC Backlog Drive

WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!
WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done!

As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help!
