Hi Bill. I've been doing great, thanks; I'll have a look at Bruno Maddox as soon as I can. Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 15:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't really know anything about the man, but I can look it over for tone, style, grammar etc? Katharineamy 11:00, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Please be aware that I'm not a native speaker (although I have a good grasp of the language), so I refrain from copy-editing this article directly. Instead I'll list my comments below. (FYI, I have never heard of this journalist and I am unbiased towards him, his work and the article alike.)

Hi BillDeanCarter. I'll help a bit with this as well. One thing that bugs me: is there a particular reason for capitalizing SPY and GEAR magazines? Their own articles don't do so! – Outriggr ♠ 01:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi BillDeanCarter, nice to meet you. I'm kinda busy in RL right now, but may have time next week. Ling.Nut 01:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
In response to your comment on my talk page:
See this guideline for information regarding User talk deletion. Generally, the rule is that unless there is a compelling reason to delete a user talk page (e.g., libel, personal information, etc.), then it should just remain. Cheers. -- MZMcBride 13:44, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome. Just be careful not to overstep OR boundaries, as you said yourself. It might be a good idea (if you can't get your hands on a published source soon, of course) to leave that information out of the article until you can source it definitively and expand a bit. Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 01:25, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Nice work on getting Bruno Maddox to FA. I kept an eye on the nom, and you worked for hard for that star; you deserve it. Congratulations! Mike Christie (talk) 02:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
You wrote "I'm flying out to Mzoli's Meats tonight to do an interview, take some pictures, and establish the notability of this supposed butchery-restaurant-and-nightclub establishment.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bruno-Heller.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rette tast 12:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I've deleted your user page as you requested. I suggest that you create a redirect from your user page to your talk page, so that your signature won't be just a redlink. -- bainer ( talk) 05:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Sure, I'll see what I can do. Nice hearing from you. Best, Fvasconcellos ( t· c) 19:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Could we discuss the links, here. Thanks. — Rudget contributions 21:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
I was hoping to wait and see what others would say. Right now the page is pretty much overrun with tumbleweeds... The reduced Lighthouse section is great-looking. I'm ambiguous regarding the hidden Critical reception section, as it isvery unusual to use it with content (at least on en:, it's quite common on fr:). Circeus ( talk) 16:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I addressed your points from the "Thriving Cult" FAC. Thanks for the positive feedback and kind words about the article, much appreciated after the work put into it. Cirt ( talk) 13:36, 13 December 2007 (UTC).
Regarding Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The World Without Us, I need clarification on how to write periods with quotes. If the quote was at the end of a sentence in the source, then I retained it in the quotation mark in the article. If not, I placed the period outside the quotation marks. Now, if I'm reading WP:PUNC correctly it says that we should only place a period within the quotation marks if the quote itself begins and ends the sentence.
So, could you clarify two examples? Which is correct (also note the capitalization, is it correct?):
These are Wikipedia's rules, but you'll see different practices all over the place. BillDeanCarter ( talk) 15:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations on
Light House: A Trifle: your GA nomination passed! I found this article to be very well written, informative and organized. Sourcing was excellent, although the Lexis-Nexis mentions should be removed since there is registration/fee required to use the service (just leave the detailed ref info). The Plot summary should be summarized even further (per
WikiProject Novels guidelines on plot summaries), but does not prevent GA status. I'm uncomfortable with the location of the Original serialization and Editions lists, so maybe something could be done with this. An immediate task should be to add a section on Themes if information can be located. Nice job.

Not sure if this is going to you or not:
Thanks for the advice on "King" Wenclas. I'd read the article you suggested, but I can't find it. And I'm not more than only superfically interested.
A bit of background: I used to run a very small, very local writers' group that produced a 'zine that got a lot of local attention. I somehow found ULA and tried to form a strategic partnership with them, to which "King" Wenclas responded with an attack over me and my group being "overdogs" and "establishment", etc. None of his attacks made any sense or were based in reality (or even in rational perception), so I decided that since this guy is clearly unhinged and thinks he and his cause are greater than they are, I decided to tweak his nose and watch his reponses.
There have been some fun ones...
Now, will this go to you?- Jookyo
You really shouldn't read the Mythology article if you plan on watching the show, as that spoils everything. :-D Although you'll probably not "get" the article by reading it only once either. Surely I'll give you a review. If it is again just a lot of minor issues that I notice, then I'll make the review private like before; if that's not the case, I'll comment in your FAC directly (could take one or two days). – sgeureka t•c 19:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Okay, it became a longer list. I'm not saying that any of this has to be done to make the article FA, but it certainly hints at some room for improvement, probably depending on what the reader is used to. Here it goes:
The article (IMO not list) looks comprehensive, but what do I know. :-) The only MOS issues I saw were punctuation, which is listed below. The main problem with the article was that sooooo many articles start with a time reference, instead of putting it at the end of some sentences, or mid-sentence etc. There are also many run-on sentences, which often change the focus with all the relative clauses; don't try to include too much info in a sentence, rather split it up into a couple of shorter sentences, and have a mix of longer and shorter sentences.

For your tireless efforts to improve Wikipedia articles (and lists!) on contemporary writers and filmmakers, despite the constant hurdles erected in your way, I award you this barnstar. Your carefully-researched contributions are much appreciated. Awadewit | talk 07:52, 20 December 2007 (UTC) |
Hi, BillDeanCarter. Wikipedia article talk pages have a very specific function. They're where editors go to discuss improvements to an article and resolve disputes over edits made to an article. They're not there discuss the subject the article covers. If you want to propose a Wikimedia Foundation intervention in the Writer's Guild strike, you might try clicking the "Contact Wikipedia" link you see on the left-hand side of every page. There you will find information you need to communicate your proposal appropriately. (There might be other good places to bring it up as well, but the article talk page is not the place for it.) Cheers, Robert K S ( talk) 12:28, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Bill. I've generally edited film articles, but I've begun work on an article about a screenwriter, Alex Tse. There is a bit more history to the Sucker Free City start, but I wanted to get your input on if the format is OK for a screenwriter article thus far. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 16:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
In the last month, you have created a new WP:FL. From what I can tell, this is your first one. Congratulations! You may not be aware of WP:LOTD. We are experimenting with selecting Lists of the Day so similar to the current WP:TFA and WP:POTD features that run on the main page. I invite you to participate.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTD) 21:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for your comments and amended vote to support on the FAC for Edgar Allan Poe. Just wanted to follow up - I didn't ignore those couple suggestions you made, especially those regarding The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. It's hard to qualify that novel as much other than an anomaly in Poe's career and didn't want to give it much weight in the lead. As I learn more about how much money it made (likely very little) and how many copies were printed, I'll add it to the article on the novel (a couple editors have been picking at it since the summer). Anyway, thanks for all your helpful observations. -- Midnightdreary ( talk) 21:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
On 15 August 2007, you made a request to the League of Copyeditors for a copyedit of Bruno Maddox. Because of a heavy backlog and a shortage of copyeditors, we have been unable to act on your request in a timely manner, for which we apologize . Since your request, this article may have been subject to significant editing and may no longer be a good candidate for copyediting by the League. If you still wish the League to copyedit this article, please review this article against our new criteria and follow the instructions on the Requests page. This will include your request in our new system, where it should receive more prompt attention. Finetooth ( talk) 04:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Alan Moore Hypothetical Lizard.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 04:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading
File:Stock Photo of Light House by William Monahan.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:10, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated William Monahan for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. -- OlEnglish ( Talk) 21:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Andy Iona in the Royal Hawaiian Steel Guitar Hall of Fame and Museum.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 14:45, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Old Crow Review Issue 6.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

I noticed this note you had placed in Aaron Sorkin archive a few years back under “Reliable sources?”. That article is still at http://www.popentertainment.com/krause.htm and has been running on an ongoing basis since 1999. I’m not sure why you got it as a dead link, but the article where Peter Krause discusses meeting Aaron Sorkin working at the Palace Theater is absolutely there.
· http://www.popentertainment.com This article was cited solely to show that Peter Krause and Sorkin worked together at the Palace theatre. It was taken from Krause's dialogue in the interview. It's an important detail, but unfortunately several months later the article is dead. Peter Krause first met Sorkin at the Palace theatre. I use it to show that Sorkin worked at the Palace theatre.-BillDeanCarter 03:32, 8 June 2007 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.80.103.135 ( talk)
