Many thanks for taking the time to go through the article on Bradwall, and proving some very useful feedback for the GA Review. I will have a read through in due course, and hope to be able to make the necessary improvements. I might be back for some suggestions! Thanks again, -- Iantresman ( talk) 19:17, 28 August 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the comment and offer of feedback, will let you know in due course (may be several days) -- Iantresman ( talk) 16:55, 29 August 2012 (UTC) reply

I've been through all your suggestions, and updated my Bradwall GA Progress page. I've added comments where appropriate, and where I remembered, a link to the diff showing any changes. I think we're another step in the right direction, but if you still have the energy, I'd welcome any more suggestions. Thanks again. -- Iantresman ( talk) 15:11, 11 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the note, I won't hold you to any schedule, when you're you're busy. Hope it all goes smoothly. -- Iantresman ( talk) 16:24, 11 September 2012 (UTC) reply

No problem at all, and thank you again for putting all your effort into the earlier review. Wikipedia can indeed be quite exasperating sometimes, and what with work commitments, a Wikibreak is sometimes what's needed. -- Iantresman ( talk) 19:32, 29 October 2012 (UTC) reply

I've never found any decent free photographs of the stadium itself, but AdamKR does have some photos of young athletes competing in the stadium on flickr. Don't know it that is of any use or not. Thanks. -- Kafuffle ( talk) 21:50, 30 August 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi – I've attempted to cover the points you raised, although I have been more successful with some than with others. I may have a brief chance to look for/add more info in the next couple of days, but will be struggling thereafter as I am moving house. Please have a look at my recent additions and advise if there are any other significant gaps I should concentrate on. Many thanks, Hassocks 5489 (tickets please!) 18:51, 2 September 2012 (UTC) reply

I think what's happening is that editors aren't realising you're quoting the exchange we had during the review, and are instead thinking that we're arguing in your thread. Maybe if you put it in a quote box or something? Malleus Fatuorum 03:03, 20 September 2012 (UTC) reply

I think so too, so after some difficulty (I am dreadful at this sort of thing) I have put the original discussion in a big box... Meetthefeebles ( talk) 11:30, 20 September 2012 (UTC) reply

Yeah, it seems like a very thorough review and it's completely overwhelmed me as I've had other things crop up that I need to do. If you complete the review that will still be helpful, as I will complete your suggestions at a later date. There is just much more that needs doing in the article than I originally expected. Farrtj ( talk) 18:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Yeah, I feel a bit bad about it, given how thorough your review was. But like I said, your suggestions will be implemented, just at a later juncture. Farrtj ( talk) 18:27, 20 November 2012 (UTC) reply

I was the editor overseeing this as it was written, so I can clarify one thing: Margee is a volunteer staffer at TS, and her article was a TS initiative. Unfortunately, I hear that the TS owner dislikes free licenses, so the IIRC the "plagarized" text was originally supposed to be freelicensed, and I guess he never did it. As such, I am afraid the plagiarized text needs to be removed or at least tagged with one of the copyvio templates; maybe this will motivate the TS people to adopt a free license. Ditto for the images, there is an official TS flicker channel with a lot of better images (w/out the ad-like logo), but they are still not freely licensed. Sigh. -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:33, 23 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the feedback on the page, the writing I did for the wiki page was actually adopted for their 'behind the scenes' page, so same author. I'll address the points you brought up today. -- Margee Kerr ( talk) 12:28, 23 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Just wanted to say thanks for passing this. It's great news. Paul MacDermott ( talk) 12:55, 25 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks again. I hadn't originally planned to take this to FAC as I wasn't sure whether there was enough material for that, but I've been quite surprised by how much stuff there is during my research, so I think it's definitely worth a shot. I'll open a peer review this evening and see how it goes. Cheers Paul MacDermott ( talk) 19:27, 25 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, Meetthefeebles. Thank you very much for the review and for promoting the article to GA. I will withdraw now as I consider my work on here is done but I hope the Liverpool Task Force will pick this up and take heed of your advice which could hopefully enable the article to reach featured status. Thanks again and all the very best to you. -- 81.132.89.114 ( talk) 13:26, 2 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, have you forgotten about the Apocalypse (Six Flags America) review you were doing? All the issues were fixed over a week ago.-- Dom497 ( talk) 22:46, 13 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Sorry I rather disappeared at the back end of this one – I was got unexpectedly snowed under with urgent work which meant that this place had to take a back seat for a while. I'm glad to see that the article has now been promoted; congrats to all involved. Meetthefeebles ( talk) 22:02, 18 December 2012 (UTC) reply

I think the article has a reasonable chance of passing at FAC, and would encourage you to try nominating the article. So that you have the best possible chance for success, I strongly recommend getting a copy-edit pre-FAC. A good copy-editor can help you spot jargon (important in sports articles) and clean up any remaining glitches. The person who I would recommend asking for help is User:Sarastro1; he is probably our finest sports writer, but is not so familiar with the sports in question to miss confusing elements. Get him on your side and a nomination will be much easier. If he's too busy to copy-edit, you can always check WP:FAC and see if any copy-editors appear to be having a positive effect on a given article. As for the bit you are having trouble citing, I suggest simply removing it. If your article has any chinks in its armor, FAC's reviewers will find them. Giants2008 ( Talk) 01:39, 29 December 2012 (UTC) reply

No problem, although it may be a day or two. Ping me if I haven't done anything by Monday. Sarastro1 ( talk) 11:15, 29 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Before I get started, there is one little issue. The word "stadium" is overused a little, particularly in the lead where it is used 8 times in the first paragraph. While it is unavoidable when naming the stadium, perhaps some synonyms (e.g. "venue", "site") could be used to add some variety. Sarastro1 ( talk) 23:53, 29 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Yes, I agree it's tricky! I'll hopefully start to look properly later today, and I will add any questions to the talk page rather than the peer review so that we are not getting mixed up. Sarastro1 ( talk) 12:07, 30 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi Meetthefeebles, I'm beginning the copy-edit you requested for the above article at the GOCE Request page. Please feel free to contact me, and to correct or revert my changes if I'm doing something I shouldn't. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 19:43, 30 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Just to inform you that on the image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:P4020179.JPG (Housing in the Egremont Estate), a couple of car licence plates are clearly legible. I'm unsure of WP's policy but it might be prudent to obscure them for privacy reasons. I'd do it myself but I can't replace the current version. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 22:36, 1 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Done - feel free to contact me about any issues arising from the copy-edit, and good luck with the FA nomination, though I recommend a Peer Review beforehand. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 ( talk) 04:06, 3 January 2013 (UTC) reply

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 14:45, 9 June 2013 (UTC) reply

Hello again. You reviewed and passed my good article nomination for The Fifth Element. Accordingly, and as I note you said it is also one of your favourite films, I though i'd let you know that after considerable expansions (taking into account advise you left me on your GA review) I have now nominated the article for featured status. One person is currently supporting it. Just though i'd throw that our there, in case you feel inclined to weigh in on its nomination. No worries if you're too busy though. If there's something you'd like me to review in return, like a DYK or GA nomination (I have no experience with featured candidate reviews myself, this is my first nominated article for featured status) just let me know. Have a nice day. Freikorp ( talk) 05:53, 24 July 2014 (UTC) reply

I've noticed you haven't made any edits since my last message, so you probably never saw it. Just an update in case you log in in time to see the new nomination: the original FAC was archived as only 2 people were supporting it, and apparently I need a minimum of 3. I have now renominated the article for FAC, and anticipate a quicker and smoother process as all the original concerns from the first FAC have already been addressed. See Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Fifth Element/archive2. Freikorp ( talk) 01:19, 20 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
