The Original Barnstar |
I award you, this, the original barnstar, because you're an original and deserve the first and the best!
Dom, this is a long-time coming from me. And I don't completely buy into the whole barnstar thing, so you know it's heart-felt. ;) I remember the first time I interacted with you on this project, when you asked me to review one of your roller coaster article. I went, "Who the heck is this young guy?" at first, and to be honest, I was a little worried because I made some assumptions about you, which I quickly figured out were unfair and very wrong. You're an impressive young man, and I'm sure that you'll knock it out of the park at university and end up being more successful than the rest of us. Keep up with the work ethic and have fun! I hope that you'll be around to at least check in and keep us updated about how you're doing. Good luck! Christine (Figureskatingfan) ( talk) 23:12, 6 September 2015 (UTC) |
Hey Dom! Thanks so much for being so awesome and interacting with me during these 2 years. I remember working with you on GA mentoring and now I've become a GA Cup Judge. Good luck with university and thank you for being such a great friend. MrWooHoo ( talk) 01:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Dom, a summary of a Featured Article you nominated at WP:FAC will appear on the Main Page soon. It mostly follows the lead section; how does it look? One question: Drop tower#Tallest vertical drop towers says this is the 3rd tallest tower in the US, but your article says it's the tallest. Do you know which is right? - Dank ( push to talk) 22:02, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
Precious again, your Falcon's Fury drop tower attraction!

Hi Dom497. As a novice reviewer, I still have few doubts about reviewing GAs. I am also writing an essay where your answers will be summarised. Considering you seem to be experienced, would you kindly answer some questions I have regarding them in general? Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 15:38, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank you very much, this has been very informative. Wikipedia:FA and GA answered queries now has a reference to you. Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 16:03, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello Dom497,
I am Bowen Yu, a Ph.D. student from GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Currently, we are undertaking a study about turnover (editors leaving and joining) in WikiProjects within Wikipedia. We are trying to understand the effects of member turnovers in the WikiProject group, in terms of the group performance and member interaction, with a purpose of learning how to build successful online communities in future. More details about our project can be found on this meta-wiki page.
I would like to invite you for an interview if you are interested in our study and willing to share your experience with us. The interview will be about 30 - 45 minutes via either Skype or Google Hangout. You will receive a $10 gift card as compensation afterwards.
Please reach me at [email protected] if you are interested or have any questions.
Thank you,
Bowen

At Bolliger & Mabillard, I get that RCDB is saying that Canada's Wonderland may be getting a Dive Machine, and while RCDB is considered generally reliable, that is not absolute. The IP is right in that they are speculating ... probably correctly, but still speculating. Please stop this. You're very close to 3RR time-wise, and definitely edit-warring over this, and you should know better. -- McDoob AU93 19:32, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
Great work on the article for Hogwarts Express (Universal Orlando Resort). I saw that it's going through an FA review and supported it. When you have a moment, consider commenting on the FA review for the Carolwood Pacific Railroad article here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Carolwood Pacific Railroad/archive1. I believe it needs one more declaration of support in order for the review to move forward. Jackdude101 talk cont 15:14, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi Dom497. You are listed as willing to mentor GAN assessors, is this still the case? If so, perhaps you could keep an eye on me? I am about to start my first GA review, on Japanese battleship Hyūga. I think that I know what I am doing, but am concerned that I don't know what I don't know. And it would be good to have someone to run any queries past. Thanks. Gog the Mild ( talk) 06:56, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Changing my mind; thanks, I shall remember that.
Primary sources. I noticed that and am now kicking myself for not picking it up. It is such a standard part of this era's articles that it didn't impact enough I think.
Scope. I know a bit about Byzantine topics. Reliable sources are hard to come by and this emperor died at 20 after a 5 year reign, being tubercular throughout it. Nevertheless, in two of my queries I have specifically asked if there is not more information. My, limited, printed sources are weak on Leo as well. Note that much of the article doesn't actually involve Leo at all - he was something of a cipher. Possibly that is sufficient reason to reject GA? (Although he is certainly notable.) Gog the Mild ( talk) 22:42, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm planning on nominating Heritage USA to GA status, but I do thing it needs peer review first before that. Since your a GA article mentor and peer review as well, not to mention you edit amusement park articles, I don't mind if you give feedback on the peer review on what you recommend me to add or change (sentences, typos, spelling, citations, etc). -- LovelyGirl7 talk 16:50, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
