Saint Paul Aritcle

Could you be as specific as possible with the CITE problems? Thanks, Calebrw (talk) 14:26, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, regarding the citations:

*Ref 42 is just a link without an included title. That needs to be referenced correctly with the appropriate citation template.

*On ref 41, the previous issue applies.

What makes jazzpolice.com reliable (ref 41)?
~~Ref 1 needs more information (date of article, date retrieved, work and/or publisher of the article).~~

~~:*Ref 5-Is 2008 part of the title, or is it the date of publication of the article? (picky, I know)~~

That's all I have for now. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks. I have addressed some of these issues and will work on as many more as possible. Calebrw (talk) 15:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Purdue Peer Review

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!! :) I have tried doing all that you said and the article definitely looks better now. Jainrajat11 (talk) 19:01, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What?

You've told me not once but twice, now, to make summary comments after editing, etc., Wiki. So, now, unless you are a Wiki admin, please mind your own business. Canihaveacookie 16:23 CST, August 12, 2008

Actually, I've only told you once. Also, you don't need to be an admin to remind an editor of a good practice. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:33, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Wikiversary!

Thanks!--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 15:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Trenton

Hi. How can I close the peer review on the Battle of Trenton? Thanks. Red4tribe (talk) 02:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I closed the peer review for you (nominators are discouraged from closing their own peer review request). Dabomb87 (talk) 02:36, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Thanks.Red4tribe (talk) 02:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your help comment

OK - So WebMd can have a page yet a competing site cannot? I am afraid I do not understand your logic. Please advise.

I'm afraid I misunderstood your request. You want to create an article on your website, correct? Dabomb87 (talk) 18:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Refer to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webmd

We are a health and medical portal - owned and operated by a licensed MD. I would like to have a page similar to theirs on Wikipedia. My question was: How do I create such a page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Healthmadeeasy (talk • contribs) 18:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see. There is nothing to stop you from creating an article about your portal. However, there are some things you should know

Establish whether your topic is notable: In short, if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable.
If the topic is notable, then you may write an article about it, but be sure to write the article from a neutral point of view. Also, make sure the information you write is verifiable: Material challenged or likely to be challenged, and all quotations, must be attributed to a reliable, published source.

Good luck, and if you have any more questions, please ask. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:47, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As to creating a new page, read Wikipedia:Your first article.

FAC Meshuggah

Good day! Will ou have a look on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Meshuggah? It's stuck.-- LYKANTROP ✉ 10:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! I really need your help now! The last candidation failed because some sourcing issues took too long to deal with. Now it is all fixed. I also made some changes in the text as well - but not many. Could you, please, make a read-over and a simple copy-edit? It won't be many issues. It would help me very much. -- LYKANTROP ✉ 16:16, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! If you are interested, you can leave comments on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Meshuggah. Have a nice day!-- LYKANTROP ✉ 21:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good day Dabomb87! The sourcing issues have already been solved!-- LYKANTROP ✉ 21:08, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot!-- LYKANTROP ✉ 14:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-tobacco movement in Nazi Germany

Hi, noticed you changed the sentence "The Nazis often equated the Jews with the harmful effects of tobacco" to "The Nazis blamed the Jews for introducing tobacco and its harmful effects" in this edit. I think the second format implies fact while the first structure implies view. If we say "The Nazis blamed the Jews for introducing tobacco and its harmful effects", it will suggest the Jews really introduced tobacco and the harmful effects of tobacco were really introduced by the Jews. I will change it after discussing this matter with you. Thanks. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:48, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, sorry about changing the sentence without bringing it up on the FAC page first. I see what you're trying to say. Maybe change the word "blamed" to accused? If we know for a fact that the Jews did not bring in tobacco, we can say "wrongly accused". The problem with the original sentence was that the sentence was in effect saying that the Jews had qualities of the harmful effects of tobacco. Anyway, let me know what you think. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:54, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I like your suggestion. I will change it to "accused". Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:55, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Or, another suggestion. How about the sentence "the Nazis claimed that the Jews were responsible for introducing tobacco and its harmful effects". Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's the best one. Put that in. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review

Thanks for all your help with peer review - just a heads up, I do not generally remove reviews from the backlog if the comments focus all on one area. So User:Ealdgyth only reviews references on articles heading to FAC, so they also need comments on things besides refs. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:36, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that—I didn't know. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:11, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is no problem at all - just wanted to let you know for future reference and thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Governors of Delaware FLRC

Thanks for doing this and bringing this to my attention. It had been on my back burner for a long time. --Golbez (talk) 02:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hanna FAC

I have ordered the refs now. Anymore copy edit help would be greatly appreciated. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:17, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I really thank you for your fine copyediting. You're good at it. As you see, I'm better at fact gathering and refs ;-). I've addressed all your 2nd round, leaving you one question on the live action issue. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was fast! :D Dabomb87 (talk) 01:54, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was working Karanacs and jumped onto yours when I was done with hers. I'm motivated to get this to FA, and with you and her helping, we may actually make it ;-) — Rlevse • Talk • 01:59, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed groundbreaking — Rlevse • Talk • 02:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fixed latest round. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:17, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

fixed latest round last night. Since Karanacs isn't answering my questions in her section, what should we do with the personal life section (topic vs time)? Yes, I posted on her page a few days ago too. Tks for all the help. — Rlevse • Talk • 09:43, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to put up a few more things. I won't be able to access WP for an extended time until tomorrow. As for Karanacs, her contributions show that she is actively editing. Perhaps leave another reminder on her talk page and wait a couple more days before asking someone else. The issues she raised were hers, she has the best ideas on how to fix them. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:40, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Check Karanacs' edits to the article and he comment last night on the FAC page. Looks like she's willing to support once I go through the Barbera book, which is coming from a library to me. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:19, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My library autobio book on Barbera is in. We'll pick it up tomorrow, Tues. Let me know on my talk page is you want me to look for anything specific. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:20, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2005 Sugar Bowl

I've made the changes you suggested to the FAC. If there's anything else, could you let me know? Thanks! JKBrooks85 (talk) 19:31, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further changes have been made. Thanks for picking them out! You've got a good eye for that. JKBrooks85 (talk) 07:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've left some comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/1964 Gabon coup d'état. If you have time, I wonder if you would revisit it? Thanks, Ling.Nut ^{(talk—WP:3IAR)} 00:18, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any more issues that I can address to secure your support in this article's ongoing FAC? Plasticup ^T/C 03:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hanna

See User_talk:Karanacs#Barbera_book_and_William_Hanna_FAC. If you could look over the updates and smooth them, I'd appreciate it. — Rlevse • Talk • 16:28, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Took a shot at fixing the latest round. — Rlevse • Talk • 17:22, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Myst IV: Revelation

Hate to bother you about this, but you're currently the only oppose and I was wondering if you would have time to look over it this week. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 01:48, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

William Hanna

Thanks so much for your help. Check your barnstar page. It's not an FA (see WP:FA but Gimmebot hasn't run to update the page yet). I plan to do Joseph Barbera next as they were partners for 60 years so there's lots of overlap. Thanks again, I couldn't have done it without you. — Rlevse • Talk • 10:16, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your peer reviews

I will finish my review (last one left) soon, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
