Does it make any difference? Sorry, first article I've nominated for GA. --Jimbo[online] 20:51, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How long does the PR stay open for? I'm leaning towards ASAP as I'm only around for another week. --Jimbo[online] 21:00, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Might as well do it now then. I don't come back til April! --Jimbo[online] 21:06, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contractions

Hi there. I've reviewed In My Place and God Put a Smile upon Your Face, but during the reviews I noticed one general point. You shouldn't really use contractions in mainspace articles when they are not in quotes, i.e. I've and shouldn't that I have already used(!!) but also "who's" or "he's" that were in the articles. Peanut4 (talk) 21:28, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a worry at all. I just wanted to point it out to you to help you in future. The main point in the policy you referred to is "In English, contractions are commonly used in speech and informal writing." I.e. it's alright to use it in speech as I said, but informal writing would not include an encyclopedia or similar writing. Peanut4 (talk) 21:42, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly no need to apologise. The easiest thing to remember is you can use them in quotes but don't otherwise use them in mainspace. I've added one more point in each of the two reviews and otherwise they should be ready. Peanut4 (talk) 21:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Scottish crest badge/GA1

Hi ThinkBlue, thanks for reviewing the article. I've tried to work on the points you brought up, and commented on them. The main one, i think, is the references using the citebook template. I've got all book refs listed using that template at the bottom of the article. But when the book refs appear in the footnotes they are only in shortened form (like here: WP:CITESHORT). Is that ok?--Celtus (talk) 10:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks alot for the review. :) --Celtus (talk) 08:49, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PR request

I will be glad to look at it - it will probably take me a few days. Thanks for asking, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:33, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have an article to work on and it is third on my PR to do list, so two days should be enough (barring unforeseen complications) Ruhrfisch ><>°° 01:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately Blue, I'm not going to have time to finish Michaels review. I have too much on my hands right now, and Michaels article is way too long. I hope you forgive me! But I'd be glad to comment on a PR for a pay-per-view. Those are short and simple. iMatthew (talk) 14:10, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE

Hey, thanks. Sorry I haven't replied yet, and finished my HBK review, but a town that is 5 miles away from mine had a type of fun day called Cow Days, real redneck, you could even milk a cow in the middle of town if you wanted. So I went to it today and yesterday, I haven't been working on here much because of it. I'll take care of your comments and finish mine on HBK. How has your weekend been so far?--WillC 05:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You know what I'm planning to do next? Make No Way Out (2004), a good article and one that failed FAC twice, another FAC, and this time pass. Wouldn't that be awesome?..lol--SRX 23:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
With work, it can happen, by the end of the year the project may have over 20 FA's!--SRX 20:26, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
lol, we can do it if the project puts their mind to it.--SRX 20:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Going slowly, just need more comments on the PR, if not, I think I will just let it go straight to FAC, but first I need a copyedit from Nikki.--SRX 20:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see if I'll take my chances :) You do have a choice, HBK!. I will close it after nominating it for FA, I can close it myself.SRX 21:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why have u given up?

Keep going, nominate it right now, learn from it, and if it fails, you know what to do to make it pass next time, that's how I took SS 03, which if you saw closely, almost failed.--SRX 21:28, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's one voice, I disagree with what he said because if you were to explain every feud that would make the article very long and thats what PPV's are for now, his career shouldn't even detail feud by feud.--SRX 21:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know I would say that, but I can't speak for the FAC reviewers. How about nominating it for A-Class? Can you take a look at No Way Out (2004) and check out the difference. June 7, 2008 and current revision.--SRX 21:49, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You will just need I think its' two people to review the article, I'm not sure whether from the project or outside it. Thanks, now I just got to write the reception and nominate it for PR then FAC.--SRX 21:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Like it is in SummerSlam (2003) and No Way Out (2004), don't have the explanation on me, why?SRX 22:26, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, well you are going to have to explain it since it is likely he will use it again in the match right? Also remember there is a new of doing it by embedding the explanation.SRX 23:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, still explain it.--SRX 23:24, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
a move in which Angle tried slamming Booker down by spinning him and lifting him to a 90°, into a small package, a pinning maneuver in which the opponent falls backwards while turning, which the opponent hooks the far leg with their legs and the opponent's other leg with their free arm, ending up on top of the opponent, pinning their shoulders against the mat. How about, No need for the move name here.SRX 23:56, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My bad I meant, Angle tried to lift and twist Booker 90 degrees to slam him down, but Booker grabbed Angle's leg and rolled him into a pinfall. Comments would be appreciated on NWO's PR :)SRX 23:24, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Was that a compliment? Lol--SRX 23:30, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You FINALLY ARCHIVE! Lol, I responded to your comments at the PR, thanks.--SRX 00:06, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What is the date on the link? (Sorry, can't open pdf files at the moment)SRX 21:36, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh then yeah, Unforgiven is after that and I'm guessing that is the second quarter/4th quarter release of their finances, so Unforgiven is included :)SRX 21:46, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess, if you are following the same way SummerSlam 2003 was written then yeah :)--SRX 21:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also responded.--SRX 21:35, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, I know, thanks. I replied at the peer review :)--SRX 23:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GAN of Louvre Abu Dhabi

Hi ThinkBlue. I have recently listed the above mentioned article for a GA review. It has been a GA nominee for about a week now. However, I am greatly desirous of receiving a review for the article. I would appreciate it if you could review it, if you find the time. Your comments would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, --Jordan Contribs 13:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review. I am currently busy improving the article as per your suggestions. Jordan Contribs 08:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I have fixed up the references, added inline citations, expanded the lead and generally improved. What do you think? Jordan Contribs 09:34, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've touched up the last few rough spots. I think its ready. Jordan Contribs 08:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Only one of those references has a problem. The others are all named references, which changes the format and appearance. Reference twelve has been corrected and modified. Jordan Contribs 17:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No longer a dead reference. Have fixed. Jordan Contribs 06:11, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Age

Hiya, Thinkblue. You recently reviewed No Age as a GA candidate. My good friend EnjoiNico and I are working on all of the improvements you listed. For starters, one question:

" Reference 3 and 9 need to be fixed."

What do you mean by this? Do they need to be put in cite web format? Thanks, BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 21:37, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

many freaking subjects

Thanks for the peer review of Hard Justice (2008). I'll read HBK again after you close the peer review. Also here in a little bit I'm going to read Judgment Day (2005) and give some comments. Just thought to give you a heads up. Would you like me to read anything else for you?--WillC 23:40, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey don't give up hope. I'll help you with it if you want. I feel you can get it to FA. Go head and continue with HBK. Also just for you to know, I like him. He is cool so if you want me too, I'll review that when I find time. I can only be on the computer for two hours a day since I need to make a schedule for stuff I do everyday. I really liked him in Thank You for Smoking. I'll probably start the review for JD around when ECW comes on since that is the when I start my two hours a day. I just get on for about 5 minutes every little bit when I need a break.--WillC 01:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I've reviewed Judgment Day (2005). The link can be found here.--WillC 07:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I left some of my own. Yeah, I thought the Dark Knight was good but didn't live up to all the hype. Plus the way it ended made me go "what?". "Who the hell is he going to fight now?". I've been thinking about expanding an article outside of wrestling. I just happened to notice Thank You for Smoking. I think when I find time, I'll expand that article. What do you think?--WillC 21:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not saying it was bad. I enjoyed it but I just wish they didn't have to kill Two face. Riddler is the next villain which I'm looking forward too but it would have been better if two face stayed around. I'm going to buy it on DVD. I just saw a few problems with it. It was probably the best movie this year so far but I still think it had its problems. Plus my grandmother got in a wreck when I was watching it so I was too worried about her than the movie but I was with someone and I was told my grandmother was fine so I couldn't leave. First I have to get all this other stuff done but I can work on TYFS. I have the world X Cup, all the 08 ppvs by TNA, and the Impact video game. Also to make it clear, I liked the movie, it wasn't bad, if you want to talk about a bad movie then watch the third mummy. Were they drunk when they made it. It had a great storyline, but shitty flow.--WillC 21:26, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I agree, Ledger did a great job. Why get excited about anything? What is the point of being excited at all? You're only given misery in return. Damn I need to quit letting people read poetry to me because I'm bored. I was looking forward to the mummy. Then it got here and I went to see it and got pissed. I thought it was a decent movie, I might buy it. But I just wish they could have done better. If I don't then who will? The only other guy I saw expanding them is blocked until further notice. Plus I have a plan that I'm going to make all the 08 ppvs FAs, then make a list of 08 ppvs. Take it to FL and have a Featured Topic if that will work.--WillC 21:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What? I'm not angry. I'm a little upset I keep hearing Lockdown is too long. When if you go look at the event section it is near the same length as GAB 05 and SS 03. For a ppv that has every match inside a steel cage and TNA has gotten what a singles match it is kind of hard to make something under 40 kilobytes. Believe me, I'm addicted to this freaking thing. You aren't going to see retried on my user page. You may see blocked when I get pissed one day. Probably around the beginning of next year is when I'll take a break. I'm home schooled. I'm trying to go back this winter. If I go I'll be going to a school that is around 30 miles away. I'll get in all the sports. You will not see retired but you will see someone who isn't on as much.--WillC 21:57, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, did you think you had enough pictures? Well just go to User:Wrestlinglover/Lockdown (2008) and see what it once was and now, the whole Evolution of it all if you what to use the terme. At one point I believe it was over 60 kilobytes. Now it is 45. I can get it to 42 or 41, but that means resourcing it and removing two of the table boxes. Thanks for liking my enthusiasm. That shows that people can tell I'm crazy. Right now I have no personnel life. I asked a girl out a few weeks ago and she said she had a boyfriend. I am working on this other girl who I asked out a few months ago and she said she had a boyfriend. Then I saw her Saturday for the first time in two or more years. She wants to hang out again. Which is very interesting. First she turns me down, and now she wants to hang with me. I must damn pretty. Plus a girl that I have been wanting to go out with since 04, but always is with a dude so I can't talk to her, is finally single and a friend of mine is probably about to go out with her after I told the retard that I wanted to go out with her. Hopefully God will be nice and let him screw up and then I get the shot.--WillC 22:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just joking. Oh I think it will all come along in due time. I'm too busy and stressed for a girlfriend at this moment. I don't want someone bitching on me all the time. WOMEN!!? oh shit I forgot, I'm sorry (lol)!--WillC 21:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good. Now I wish I knew you in real life. Because all the girls I know are bitchy. I only knew one girl that wasn't, and she turned out to be a slut. I do not have good luck. They are coming along. I'll have No Surrender (2008) finished tonight. I'm working on Slammiversary (2008) and I'm hoping that I have it finished by Saturday. Here is what it looks like in my sandbox. Working a little on Victory Road (2008) in my sandbox. Hoping to have it finished soon. While I'm also working on Bound for Glory IV in my sandbox since it is TNA's main ppv and I do not want IPs to be screwing it up. So far alot of activity is on the article with only three matches. No telling what it would be like if I had the background out in the open. Lockdown is still under review. Sacrifice still has not been reviewed at GAN. Been trying to work on Destination X (2008).--WillC 22:19, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well you're nice. That is why probably. Okay. It will probably be a while. I really need to stay focused on certain things. So how is your stuff coming?--WillC 22:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If I were you I would take Unforgiven to FAC. I feel it is ready. When I find time. I'll read Unforgiven again as well as Bad Blood 04.--WillC 23:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry about JD. It will probably pass. I'm afraid for Lockdown though. So far SRX has found all sorts of problems with the lead. I feel it is going to be just like the first peer review. I'll get to BB maybe tonight or tomorrow.--WillC 23:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone will fail it will be me. Don't worry. I'll help you if you want. I'll help take care of all the little problems in the review that come up. Yeah you're probably right but he always wants me to remove background to matches and just keeps saying it is too long. The thing isn't that long. It is just the way I write. So I'll probably be the one to fail because of adding more than four matches.--WillC 23:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re: Aaron Eckhart

Sure thing (I loved him as Two Face), but it'll have to wait until tomorrow, if that's all right? I'm off to class soon. María (habla conmigo) 20:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for drawing my attention to this article on my talk page. Unfortunately, I do not have time to work on or comment on it in its featured article review. In looking briefly at the article, I did notice a couple of things that I thought it might be worth passing on to you. In the lede (opening paragraphs), I think the phrase "and has given up smoking and drinking" is out of place with the preceding part of the sentence on Eckhart's developing an interest in "photography" and not encyclopedic; I also think that the ref. to the same point later is not encyclopedic. In general, it appears to me that the entire lede needs source citations throughout (I would put a "citations missing" template on it due to those omissions). Otherwise, I would caution against any kind of "fan" (or fansite) tone of voice or inclusion of trivia/minutiae, and just focus on mostly professonal career facts and not on celebrity personal information coming from or used in tabloids. Throughout "recently" needs correction; WP:MOS stresses not to use such relative time transitions ("now"; "lately"; "recently"--as time goes on, none of those has a specific referent). If one has an actual date (year, day/month/year) to document a statement or part of a statement, it is more useful to use the specific date and to document the statement/part of statement with a reliable third-party published source. If the article is still being edited for improvements (unstable), it may be too soon to have a featured article review. Good luck with your efforts. (I haven't read the review page; these are just observations about the article independent of any comments made there.) --NYScholar (talk) 20:00, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you reply? With your BB or my BB?SRX 23:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well with '03, no one else commented on it. For '04, I added more comments. For FL's, not necessarily Rambling Man didn't have any (I think), if you just know the criteria well you'll do fine. Like look at some of the ones I commented, I just check mostly for mechanical errors in the prose and see if the table/list is good in structure, has refs, is understandable, and lists content in a way everyone can comprehend.SRX 23:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh really? Thanks so much, I was lost on how to do that. Yay! Trust me, you gain more respect from other users when you get well known at FLC. I mostly comment on the new ones and sometimes on the backlog, it's easier. SRX 00:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
