I've replied to your comments, thanks. iMatthew ( talk) 19:11, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Can you clarify what you meant about the saves and images? iMatthew ( talk) 21:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

On 2 November, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Opening Day starting pitchers, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi, User:Road Wizard has done a great job of cleaning up the List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom article and I think it may meet WP:WIAFL criteria now. You may want to take a second look at the article to see if it meets FL standards now. Dabomb87 ( talk) 19:24, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd say so. Not much of a lead, no citations, refs that just go to a general site and according to the page, "Statistics are correct to the end of 2005." -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 23:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Just go here and change all mentions of your name, then there shouldn't be any problems. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 01:35, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm going to have to say no. Sephiroth's list had been open ten days and he simply would have been a victim of the new system. Yours has been open 8, so that would mean that I would have to break the ten day rule, which wouldn't be fair to everyone else. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 21:59, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah sure, go for it. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 00:33, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi.

I just noticed the bunch of identically-worded notices you just posted to WT:CRIC.

Firstly, if you used an automated tool, it is buggy, as you misspelt "featured".

Secondly, the messages as posted are fairly useless when it comes to actually fixing the pages, and the fact that you appear to have simply copied and pasted the message several times is extraordinary. It would be much more useful if you would instead post a message such as:

I have significant concerns about the featured list status of the following pages:

• list

for the following reasons:

• list

I intend to nominate them for featured list review in a few days' time if these concerns are not dealt with.

Such a message would, I think, be far better received and far more useful to its recipients.

Thanks,

Sam Korn ^(smoddy) 00:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I agree: you've left two incredibly unhelpful, generic messages on my talk page. You've just linked to the requirements page without even remotely discussing why you think it isn't a featured list! I've read through the FL criteria many times and fail to see in any way how the two pages fail to meet the standards. Could you please be more careful & clearer with your concerns in the future? Regards, AllynJ ( talk | contribs) 04:18, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I couldn't remember what the format was for hiding text, so I had to look it up, but I saw the exclamation point had been added...so thanks! :) Morhange ( talk) 05:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I've restarted this FT nom. Just to let you know. — Chris! _{c t} 23:47, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

That's a great list. There were a few of those on my to-do list, but I can see that there are a lot more that need attention. Good work! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 13:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Please substitute templates when using them on user talk pages; see WP:SUBST for more info. Gary King ( talk) 03:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Why did you undo? It's causing all text that appears after the template to be center-aligned, including most of my archives since you posted the template on my talk page a few times. Gary King ( talk) 01:45, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Yep. You do know that you can include your signature into the template, right? Gary King ( talk) 02:12, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay done. They both need to be substituted every time they are used. Gary King ( talk) 02:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Have done all your requests. Please take a look, thanks— Chris! _{c t} 22:18, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I'd say that they all could use a clean up. List of Australian ODI cricketers, List of Hong Kong ODI cricketers, List of Indian ODI cricketers strike me as the worst ones, while the others have mostly minor, mostly easily fixable concerns. I would suggest that you first leave a message for the cricket wikiproject, but I have suggested to them that they clean up some of their FLs before and they usually only improve pages that are nominated for removal. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 01:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, that is a very loose rule that I had included so that the late entrants would have a bit of time to catch up. I don't think anything really needs to be done. -- Scorpion ⁰⁴²² 22:10, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Since I verified it, it is probably now either at the Next Update page or in the queue waiting to go to the main page. Nominations don't get moved directly from the suggestions page to the main page; rather, they get prepared at Next Update and then put in a queue, which a bot automatically moves to the main page once every 4 hours. If a nomination ever disappears after having been verified, you can probably find it in one of those queues. — Politizer  ^talk/ _contribs 06:04, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

It's in Queue 3, and should probably be on the main page in 12-15 hours. — Politizer  ^talk/ _contribs 06:06, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You can view the Queues by going to T:DYK/N (or by navigating to Next Update through the DYK submissions page); near the middle of the page there, there are links to queues 1-5. — Politizer  ^talk/ _contribs 06:08, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

pls refrain from deleting the information about youth harassment by public security as you obviously did not grow up in DDO and are unaware of how they operate. Your ignorance of the situation is no excuse to defend a corrupt and hostile pubic entity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.60.4 ( talk) 18:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, please notify relevant Wikiprojects and top contributors for the articles you submitted for FLRC. Dabomb87 ( talk) 02:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. However, I'm going to be short on time here for the next while. If you are able, go ahead and work on getting it up there. I'll try and help where I can, but I've got real life issues to deal with right now that are rather important. Kaiser matias ( talk) 18:55, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I can take the credit for it, though I'm not really sure what difference that makes once it's passed. -- Arctic Gnome ( talk • contribs) 16:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

On 22 November, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of Portland Trail Blazers head coaches, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

18:52, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, could you look over this article before I submit it to FLC? Thanks, Dabomb87 ( talk) 04:04, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Are there any other issues with the article? Dabomb87 ( talk) 04:42, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your support and comments. As an aside, I will be working on the Washington Wizards head coaches article next. I was going to work on the Cleveland coaches article , but I could not find any reliable sources on the team's history. Do you have any sites? Dabomb87 ( talk) 04:59, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I recently expanded the List of New Orleans Saints head coaches, and seeing how you have experience with lists of these types, I was wondering whether I could have your input/comments on its talk page?-- TRU _CO 00:48, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I had been bold and started the portal. Please help since it is still a long way to go. If you don't know what exactly a portal is, go look at some featured portals. Just to let you know, thanks — Chris! _{c t} 02:10, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, could you briefly revisit this FLC? I think I have addressed your last concern. Dabomb87 ( talk) 15:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

#19 and 17 seems to have what you're looking for. — Politizer  ^talk/ _contribs 22:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Sure, but I do not have much time to work on the building list right now. I have final exams next week and so I will be studying for the next nine days - until 18:00 on 12/11 when I'm done. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab} 00:18, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Go with Emporis data. I am still busy, but one more day of finals and I am done. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab} 01:20, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Back. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab} 03:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Well the list is now almost finished. It just needs SkyscraperPage references in the tallest buildings and tallest under construction, approved and proposed section and maybe a little copyediting. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab} 06:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, would you mind looking over List of tallest buildings in Beijing and List of tallest buildings in Shenzhen. Can they be nominated for FL-status as well? Cheers. _{Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab} 06:07, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab} 07:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, you can still add the SkyscraperPage references. Cheers. _{Trance addict - Armin van Buuren - Oceanlab} 19:20, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it sounds more about Daly than the article itself, but it was the only interesting thing I could come up with. Is it in the queue already? — Politizer  ^talk/ _contribs 14:03, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

On 4 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article List of Cleveland Cavaliers head coaches, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

BorgQueen ( talk) 02:31, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. By the time you are finished working on it, you'll probably be more of the main contributor, but I can co-nominate anyway if you want :)   jj137 (talk) 00:53, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the nomination, we will have to wait until Marc Iavaroni got fired first to do that (2 more months of losing should do). PS: There is a unwritten "rule" that a FL has to have at least 10 items, in case you don't know.— Chris! _{c t} 02:42, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I have been thinking these two potential Featured Topics. Both of them will require a lot of work, but I think if we collaborate with Wikiproject NBA, it is possible.— Chris! _{c t} 22:52, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

This is the break down on the type of articles:

• Los Angeles Lakers accomplishments and records - list
• Logos and uniforms of the Los Angeles Lakers - article/list (can potentially convert to list)
• Los Angeles Lakers all-time roster - list
• Los Angeles D-Fenders - article
• Staples Center - article
• List of Los Angeles Lakers broadcasters - list
• History of the Los Angeles Lakers - article
• Los Angeles Lakers radio networks - list — Chris! _{c t} 18:36, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

The articles are not that hard. It's just like writing proses for the list. :)— Chris! _{c t} 06:56, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but I could probably do the Trail Blazers season list later this month. I can also help out the articles (copy-editing, formatting, etc.) Dabomb87 ( talk) 14:44, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Although I disagree with having many sources. Capitals of a state are not something that is disputed easily that needs multiple sources. =Nichalp «Talk»= 04:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of List of San Diego Padres managers at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified.

I just completely overhauled List of Pittsburgh Pirates managers and owners, and plan to nominate it at FLC soon. Also, I hope to get to List of Pittsburgh Penguins head coaches at some point, it really isn't in too bad a shape. I've got your goals on my watchlist and I'm pleased to see it shrinking. Keep it up! black ngold29 04:43, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I asked the Baseball WP what they thought of your suggestion, so I'll see what they say. I personally kind of like having all of them, but I can see where you're coming from. As for the DYK, I'll look into it. Thanks. black ngold29 04:58, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response to my FLC query. As suggested, I have added a column and expanded the content a bit. I have listed this for peer review and would welcome any further suggestions you may have. Many thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:39, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

I think capitalisation should be okay in this case. Note that PETCO Park redirects to Petco Park anyway, and that the article says, "Since the retailer spells its name in all capital letters, mere initial capitalization as 'Petco Park' is not correct."

I plan to nominate the Pirates one soon, there are three or four other baseball manager lists at FLC right now so I was gonna wait until at least one passed. I will work on the Penguins one the next time I have some time to work, it needs a lead expansion and sourcing, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Hey, did you spell "Annoyomous" wrong intentionally (from your username)? Just wondering. Dabomb87 ( talk) 00:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC) P.S. Sorry if that seems a little abrupt, it just hit me. Dabomb87 ( talk) 00:00, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Yep, thought so. I read through your "My username" section, but I must have missed something. Also, KV5 asked for me to comment on your FLC; I haven't forgotten, I just have a couple things to do first. Sorry for bothering you and Happy Holidays! Dabomb87 ( talk) 00:08, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

I copy-edited the article and left three hidden comments for you to address. In addition, you need to check the images beforehand, or get someone to check them for you. I can tell you right off the bat that some images lack sources, and others have rather unencyclopedic descriptions. Overall though, a nice article. Dabomb87 ( talk) 01:31, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Everything else looks fine, just be sure to look at the images. I will leave a list of image issues to fix shortly. Dabomb87 ( talk) 02:04, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

OK, I have posted the image issues. Dabomb87 ( talk) 02:10, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
