Geske

Hi! I saw you assested the article Geske, and wanted some expansion of it? Iv'e expanded it today. The witch trials of the 1590s are badly documented. If headlines vere put in, perhaps it would be a B-article now? --85.226.235.206 (talk) 18:00, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, i see, thank you for telling me. I cant promise i'll do that, but its good to know the criteria! --85.226.235.206 (talk) 18:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Assessment on William Rawson

Hi. I was actually surprised to see the article classed Start initially - it's short (at the moment) so it's obviously Stub - correct call in the end. Thanks for your efforts. Best wishes. Ref ^(chew)(do) 01:13, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank You

Thanks for finding time to assess Atif Aslam. Appreciate it. Anshuk (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Barefoot to Jerusalem

Hi Tpbradbury. I was just editing Barefoot to Jerusalem and noticed that you, being the original author, had edited it beforehand, and I wondered whether you could help add to the article. Do you have any citations or references as to where you got your info from?

Also, I've added "User:" to those 'IP' users (they weren't before; they were links to mainspace pages). I hope you don't mind. Qwerty (talk) 13:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I see. I myself then went to the BtJ website for reference. As for the mentions of "IP" and "User:", see here, and you'll probably understand. ;) Qwerty (talk) 12:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Beaumont-de-Lomagne

I just noticed that. Good work...

Battle of Bonchurch article

Tpbradbury, thank you for taking the time in organising the references on the article entitled 'Battle of Bonchurch'. I am now aware of how to group references together. Once again, thank you. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 14:41, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I have noticed you have made several errors. In some of my quotes I used [], e.g. We [the French]. That was deliberate. I was including information in a quote that had not been in the original quote. I have undone the changes. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 09:43, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Guidance on assessing

Hi. I have been assessing articles for a little while now. I have always refrained from uprating very poorly sourced articles, as I believe it is a core issue. I have been discussing this with another editor, who believes that addition of information, sourced or otherwise, means he should rate upward from, say, stub to start. I won't budge an unreferenced article from stub, as I don't trust the integrity of the information without sources. What are your thoughts?

Also, is there a nailed-down guideline or decent essay related to assessment, particularly BLPs? I would be grateful for guidance to ensure I do the correct thing within the assessment department. Thanks. Ref ^(chew)(do) 19:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Tom. I have since had a good look at some Project talk page postings regarding this issue, and have to agree that my parameters are somewhat restrictive. I will happily loosen off up to Start, but I would expect to see some decent verification after that. Best wishes. Ref ^(chew)(do) 13:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Paula Creamer

Thanks for the review and upgrade. I noticed you made a number a minor style changes to the page, which I appreciate, but I think you made an error in the lead. Her birth date was linked 1986 in sports, which I agree isn't proper (I never even noticed it before), but now there's no link at all. Shouldn't it be linked like this since the full year is given? I could be wrong on this, so let me know if I am, and thanks again. Giants2008 (talk) 15:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Napoleon I of France

You've been doing a great job on this article. Much of it is still unreferenced, though, which will hold it up from passing a GA review. Thanks for your hard work, GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:05, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington

I have noticed your large amount of work on the article and thought I would let you now I'm going to be doing some major editing to the article, most importantly adding references! I would welcome your edits and opinions on any of my additions in the coming weeks. Thank you. LordHarris 20:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Impalement arts

Thanks for taking a look at the Impalement arts article and rating it as at least a B. It's been difficult to get much input from other editors (due perhaps to it being a slightly esoteric subject, although still significant in the circus arts field). Having put in a lot of effort it is good to see some recognition.Circusandmagicfan (talk) 16:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)Circusandmagicfan

Europe, list of countries

What do you think about this approach? Did you have something completely different in mind, then you might want to exemplify this there. Tomeasy_talk 07:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

As I mentioned earlier, I appreciated the bulk part of your edits. Everyone tries to lift the Europe article to GA. So, it's good that we are pulling in the same direction. You might want to open a new section on the talk page with a bullet list of priority tasks for GA status.

I do not know how to enforce table columns to be of the same width. My problem with the current version in my sandbox is that the regional grouping info takes up a lot of additional space. It is also information that is much better conveyed through a map. So, my first preference would be to get a color map for the CIA groupings and simply remove the columns.

In retrospect, I am quite happy with new ordering mechanism of the list, which is now purely alphabetical. Readers can find a country much more easily now than with the regional-alphabetical order used before.

"My own personal preferences are also for having statistics to 2 or 3 significant figures." I do not get what you mean here. Do you want two or three more columns with additional statistics? What statistics do you have in mind? Tomeasy_talk 16:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I observed you upgrading the class of the article. Thanks. I love to have your suggestions about organization of the imgs, text etc., you being a Wiki-gnome and fairy. Thanks.--Redtigerxyz (talk) 05:51, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Margaret Thatcher

Sorry about that link! I must of been using the template and forgot to copy the correct web address. Silly mistake, thank you for spotting and correcting it. What would we wikidragons do without the wikignomes and wikifairys ;-). As far as the article gos I keep meaning to resume adding references as I only got to her early political career. I will make another go once I'm finished with Wellington. Happy editing and Best regards, LordHarris 18:12, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
