The Owl Service

Thanks for your response to the DYK fact on The Owl Service. I've answered your question there. Well spotted!--Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

No problem, glad to be of help. Nice article, and the revised DYK fact was still great main page material. Olaf Davis | Talk 16:32, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you sir!--Tuzapicabit (talk) 21:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Flatness problem

On 14 September, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Flatness problem, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Kudos on bulking up that article. I remember being fascinated by the problem just a couple years ago and it's wonderful to see a good-looking article on it now. Great work. Plasticup ^T/C 05:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Plasticup. There's still a lot more that could be said in the article (as demonstrated by my perhaps rather premature GAN) but it will have to wait until I get access to a decent library again. Nice to know my improvements so far have been useful, though. Olaf Davis | Talk 16:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Beauty and the Geek

I have no idea how to fix the problem, but the August 14 help desk page has your promise to fix what I asked about.

Thanks. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 19:57, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Vchimpanzee. Looking back at the discussion it seems as though I misunderstood you: I thought you were talking about what was in the 'References' section, which I renamed 'External Links'. I now realise you were talking about the links in what was then the 'Footnotes' section, but which I renamed 'References'. You're right that it's a Bad Thing to have all those facts just sourced to MySpace pages. The only way to fix it, though, is to find some reliable sources that contain the information and add them - or if they can't be found, to remove the information. I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to look for such sources, so I can't really be of that much help. Perhaps someone at WikiProject Television would know where to find one? Olaf Davis | Talk 16:05, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't know how to got looking for that information. For one thing, the CW message boards, which were a good source of information just for fun, but not for an encyclopedia, are gone.

If no one cares, we'll just leave it as is. I personally would like to look at the MySpace pages of the cast members.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:33, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Olaf

Thank you for supporting my RfA nomination, Olaf. I look forward to being able to help out further at DYK. And I appreciate the confidence. Cbl62 (talk) 06:17, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations! It's nice to see the community agree with my opinion of you. See you around DYK. Olaf Davis | Talk 12:57, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

DYK

Hi. Thanks for your note on DYK, i have now readjusted the refs at the SWSI article so that the hook is directly referenced. --Soman (talk) 10:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I've approved the hook for DYK. Best wishes, Olaf Davis | Talk 10:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Cress Williams DYK
