These are reviews which I'm banking for use as QPQs.
These are the details of the articles which went through the DYK process. In most cases, they were successful but there were a few failures which are included for completeness and lessons learned. Also in some cases, another editor was the lead while I assisted in some way though note that Warden is an alternate account of mine. The associated talk is included to help provide such context.

Andrew, this nomination is currently in limbo, waiting on whether you will be sufficiently expanding Merikins or not. I see you added a fair amount of material, but at 1260 prose characters, the article is not quite there yet. The problem is, the prep areas for April Fools will probably start being filled in a day or two, at which point you'll want this to be ready for promotion. Please let us know your plans on the nomination template as soon as possible—the end of the weekend at the latest—or what may happen is that it just sits in limbo and misses April Fools altogether, at which point it will be treated like a regular older nomination and reviewed as it is (without Merikins) and proceed that way. (We don't hold over April Fools for another year.) Remember, while April Fools hooks have an exemption from the seven-day rule, regular ones won't, and at this point Merikins won't be eligible for regular DYK after March 27 without a 5x expansion from 1260 characters or a GA, both of which seem unlikely at this point. Thank you, and best of luck. BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:23, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear Andrew Davidson, Do you still have the original image of File:Annie N. Josephus Jitta by Hendrik Maarten Krabbé from the collection of J.C. Zadoks.jpg? The painter died in 1931, so there's no need to only display a lowres image. I think the image could also be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in higher res. Is that a correct assumption?

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot ( talk) 17:21, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Violet Bakery Cookbook.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 04:07, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi. I've been having fun adding little bits to the above article - I hope that's OK. Please feel free to change or remove any of my additions, if you like. I would have liked to have found more about the Bell inn but could not. There must be more out there, somewhere, but I'm running out of ideas about where to look. There is certainly more in the C19 newspapers about the inquest on the child. Let me know if you want me to add any of that (leaving out any horrific bits, of course) Victorian journalists were very compassionate, usually, so it should be possible to add the info tastefully.

Sorry, I was using a small screen and assumed that the lack of formatting when I switched the quote template was due to that. It turns out that it was due to the left-hand image placement. I am not a great fan of the quote box style in articles but I see that you moved the image also, and it is that which has fixed the problem. - Sitush ( talk) 11:03, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
The appearance seems to depend both on the browser and the window size and I've been fiddling with the image placement to try to balance them. I don't like the block quote template as it doesn't seem to do anything and I prefer quotes of this sort to stand out typographically, in some way. The quote in this case seems to have a Dickensian sound to it, which provides a sense of the period. I'm hoping that the readership will like it but critics abound, alas. Anyway, thanks for your input. Warden ( talk) 11:14, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
I tried to expand this enough so it would qualify for DYK, but the sources I looked at just repeated the same three basic facts in different ways and I'm struggling to get above even 700 bytes of prose :-( Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:03, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
We also have Gerrard Street, London, it was hiding as a redirect to Chinatown, London, but pretty much all of the Gerrard Street-related prose had nothing to do with that and there is far much more to write about. The sources aren't really up to snuff but it is new enough and long enough to go to DYK, provided somebody fixes the references quickly enough. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:09, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this one out. I may keep messing around with it - not sure. It is a complex subject. I assume you are o.k. if I keep moving to an {{ sfn}} style of citation. This is an article that can mostly be sourced from books, and {{ sfn}} gives a convenient way to refer to different pages in the same book. Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:09, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I see this AfD closed with "snow keep". Far more could be added. In the "significance" section I think the Carlyle-Hegel-Marx etc. views need clarification - but somewhere I read that if you think you understand them, that is more than they did themselves. I have a short span of attention though, and am going to move on. Feel free to make any changes and additions you think are needed. It will be interesting the see the DYK reaction. Given the size, it will take a brave reviewer to check it. And given the mood at DYK lately, at least for articles I have been involved with, it is going to face a barrage of criticism. Maybe not. :~) Aymatth2 ( talk) 17:58, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
You have more patience than I do; I tend to flag after I've found and linked to a good source. Anyway, I'll make a pass over the current version and help nurse it through DYK. The only problem is likely to be the size of the article now - it is this which intimidates reviewers most, I suppose, as it suggests that there lots of checking work to be done. Anyway, thanks again for your help with this — you're a gentleman and a scholar. Warden ( talk) 17:04, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

And just a small point—has anyone checked the gender-neutral guideline? And could we please have a dash, not a crappy hyphen, as the interruptor, as insisted on by CMOS, Oxford, and en.WP's very own house style. Who let this onto the main page??? Tony (talk) 10:12, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
The potential copyvio is relevant for DYK (if it is an issue; judging from the above it looks like you guys have decided there's not copyvio); the other stuff is not. Last I checked, the DYK guidelines only require inline citations on the fact that's going in the hook, not through the whole article. ( Guideline #4, "within policy", is I guess a bit open to interpretation anymore.) I'm not saying this is in any way a good article; I'm just saying things like lack of FA/GA-quality inline citations and lack of MoS-compliant punctuation do not in of themselves make an article not qualify for DYK. If there is a consensus that those things should disqualify an article from DYK, then the DYK guidelines should be changed to reflect that. rʨanaɢ ( talk) 13:52, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

My background, for the last twenty years of the 20th century, was Newtown, Sydney, while it was still a happy mix of old families in grand old lacy terraces, working-class families in two-up-and-two-downs, ethnics of every variety, Greek businessmen whose had prospered and sent their sons and daughters to law school, artists, poets, semi-retired anarchists, bible-college-students, street people and a carillonist.
I was the carillonist, so I belonged to everybody else. When I was happy, everyone for a two-mile radius knew about it. When my boyfriend went back to the Queensland border everyone knew about that too. Likewise, when Australia won the America's Cup, when Cathy Freeman won Gold in the Olympics, and when Vincent Lingiari died on his way to Sydney for the Bicentenary, I made sure that everyone over a two-mile radius knew about it.
The street people in Newtown were the best-fed street people in the world. Little David, who sold the Big Issue, was taken to lunch by someone or other, several days a week. Shop keepers found work for people with mental illness, sweeping the yard or folding the cardboard crates, and paid them in meat pies with tomato sauce, hot chips and cups of tea. There was a camaraderie that accommodated differences. There was a group of unemployed aboriginal men (a.k.a the Newtown Mob) who often hung around outside the community centre. If anything needed sorting out, one only had to ask, and they sorted it. They sorted my disabled brother when he fell and hit the gutter, and took him up to Casualty at the Royal Prince Alfred, whether he wanted it not, cursing and bleeding profusely all the way. Years ago, I tried to edit the Wikipedia page to reflect all this, but came up against a wiki-purist who wouldn't have it that way! I was very sad to leave Newtown!

This sounds good to me,
Once it is clear there is a dispute, avoid relying solely on edit summaries and discuss the matter ... When discussion does not produce a conclusion, bringing wider attention to a dispute can lead to compromise. Consider getting a third opinion or starting a request for comments. Neutral editors aware of the dispute will help curb egregious edits while also building consensus about the dispute.
Hi Colonel Warden! The Surfers Paradise Meter Maids is great - I've never been up to Queensland, (or at least, not on the coast), so I haven't seen them, but I remember them hitting the news a few times. And it does look like Akubra could do with some work - I'll see if I can help. In regards to the RfA, I had no problems at all with your vote - I agree that we should be wary of giving one side in a dispute an advantage, and it was a good reminder never, under any circumstances, to use the tools while involved. So I felt that you were completely right to raise the issue.
I'll see what I can did up for Akubra, and I might be able to find something for the Meter Maids - I have access to the databases of Australian media, so there might be something to help develop it some more. - Bilby ( talk) 07:11, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Andrew, I am very grateful for the link for the aerial photos. I had the chance to visit the Centre for Oriental Studies here in Amman and I was given some directions as to the location of the site. I found a site, now comparing it to the aerial photographs and to those of Creighton University what I have found seems to be a different site, but still, not too far from Tall Jawa. Hence for me this is both disappointing but exciting at the same time. I would like to find out what that site is. I know I am running out of time here. I am giving myself a deadline until tomorrow afternoon. I will be in touch with you before then to let you know of the outcome, if any. Could I follow the wiki picture tutorial guidance with regards to uploading images?
I will most certainly get in touch with the British Council. All the best, nteli78 ( Nteli78 ( talk) 14:36, 10 April 2014 (UTC))
Hi Andrew, I 've made an attempt at adding the image. It's there, seems to be in order. Please let me know if any amendments are needed. I also have more images I have taken of the site.
