On 8 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Medieval Mayhem, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 2006 homebrew Medieval Mayhem and the 1984 Starpath Supercharger version of Frogger are the only two Atari 2600 games to receive an "A+" rating from The Video Game Critic? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Tell me how you think we can stand to have an article without any non-trivial coverage. Apparently some articles get a free pass to totally ignore WP:GNG just based on the whims of individual editors. There are countless other songs that have been widely recorded but haven't gotten any secondary source coverage that amounts to more than "x recorded song Y — so what?"

Hi. By the time I had made up my mind to !vote you had withdrawn, so how I would have !voted is moot. Nevertheless, if you boost your activity over the next few months, I'm sure things will work out differently next time. However, I'd like to have your feedback on what you feel about trick questions. I mean the kind that even a relatively new admin might get wrong, and which cause a pile-on of oppose votes. I'm just doing some random research, so don't worry if you prefer not to commit on this. Cheers, -- Kudpung ( talk) 06:43, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
On 12 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Street Racer (Atari 2600), which you created or substantially expanded.

On 17 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang, which you created or substantially expanded.

As someone who has taken part in previous discussions regarding the use of succession boxes in articles for songs and albums, I'd like to notify you of a request for comment that is taking place at WT:CHARTS#Request for comment: Use of succession boxes. It would be nice to finally come to a resolution on this. If you have already participated in this RFC or do not wish to participate, then please disregard this notice. Thanks. -- Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars ( talk) 00:29, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
While I agree with you that Andrew Johnson was impeached in the house and not the senate, there needs to be more clarification. Simply stating the he was impeached in 1868, but not convicted is really not enough. -- Monterey Bay ( talk) 05:11, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Could you leave a slot open in prep 2? I'll add Jameela Jamil in (see my talk page for the background). Thanks for assembling sets! Shubinator ( talk) 21:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your note (just taking it off SG's talk page). If it doesn't get comment in half an hour I've found a completely bland soccer hook that's been approved at T:TDYK that I'll substitute it with. If you're around then, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could watch Queue 6 in case I stuff up any DYK technical matters. -- Mkativerata ( talk) 22:32, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
There is also User:Access Denied/Template:uw-rmwarning1 which you should also nominate for deletion. WAYNE SLAM 01:16, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
No complaints. I assumed that your actions were due to the fact that you weren't an admin and thus couldn't view the article history like I could. Nyttend ( talk) 02:34, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I can't figure out which is more likely... He was serious about that question or he was pretending to be serious about that question. Neither seems very likely, yet one must be true! -- Born2cycle ( talk) 05:31, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to second what the candidate said at the RFA. Although I don't as such agree with your oppose (only in as much as I'm supporting) it was well thought out, you checked thoroughly and above all you gave the candidate some quality feedback; this RFA in particular (and sadly far to many generally) get filled with people opposing over trivalities, politics and in a spirit of bad faith - leaving the candidate humiliated and often none the wiser as to what they did wrong. It was refreshing therefore to see such an honest, useful (and perhaps I may venture - reluctant yet firm) opposition statement. Thank you. Pedro : Chat 17:43, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
I have had a look at what you said about close paraphrasing in the article and maybe I have stuck too closely to the wording of the source. In this case it was not part of the article that much interested me but I was including the information for the sake of completeness. I must admit that I thought changing the wording around was sufficient to prevent copyright violation.
Let us suppose I had instead sought several sources for the information on the number of lacewing eggs required for aphid control and there were different recommendations, then I would have had difficulty citing a reference if I had blended figures from different sources.
I will try to be more careful in future. What would you like me to do about the article? Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 18:42, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
On 28 January 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Little Black Egg, which you created or substantially expanded.

There's no problem. I'm enjoying the discussion. You are helping me to clarify my thoughts. HiLo48 ( talk) 07:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I wouldn't suggest for a moment that you have committed any gross indiscretions. Perhaps your extra lecture on his talk page might have been one too many, but I happen to know that it was made in very good faith. My allusion was 'if the cap fits...'

Hello. You have a new message at ErikHaugen's talk page. Message added 06:45, 4 February 2011 (UTC).
Is the tool server just slow do you think? Or have some of the functions been disabled? For example, for two weeks now, whoever's user name I enter at RfA votes, I get 'invalid user name'. I've not heard anyone else mention this problem. -- Kudpung ( talk) 13:30, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Hope you cleared your driveway newbie ........... ;). Pedro : Chat 22:13, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello you!
I hope you won't mind my templating this message, but as there are several users whom I wish to express more or less the same thoughts to, it seemed appropriate.
Of course it's a shame things turned out how they did with regard to the thread on ANI about Someone65, but no great harm has been done and he will eventually get his comeuppance. I'd like to thank you for your support there - it's been noted :)
Best,

Hello! Your submission of Jeanne Galzy at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! rʨanaɢ ( talk) 21:11, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
...you could almost predict it to be a question nowadays :) Back in my '06 days (when I hung out on RFA a bit more) it used to be editcountitis and XFD that consistently came up. Thanks for the question, answered, I hope as completely as possible. -- Errant ( chat!) 13:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
for this. Glad to see someone is watching over me :) Tofutwitch11 (TALK) 20:24, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
