Thanks for your work in checking articles, but please use speedy according to WP:CSD. Speedy for lack of notability is only when there is no notability asserted. Saying someone won an award, as for Amma Asante is a clear assertion of importance. If you think the subject insufficiently notable, but any reasonable claim to importance is present, use PROD or AFD. And when you tag speedy, you should mark the edit summary accordingly--otherwise it makes it very difficult for us overworked admins to check and get things deleted. In fact, it is important to use edit summaries in all cases so it can be seen what is being tagged or whatever. DGG ( talk) 14:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I've reviewed the article for GA status, it's on hold pending some stuff I've added on the talkpage. Cheers. The Rambling Man 17:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that you are citing IMDb for the awards and nominations. IMDb is not considered a reliable source since it is user-edited. Someone will remove it once it is added to the main Lost page, so you should look for different websites. -- thedemonhog talk • edits 03:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
This nomination is best discussed first on the Talk page of an article. For Alberto Gonzales, it will fail immediately, if it were to get attention this week by an evaluator, because it is not stable, as the subject is prominently in the news, and the article is both subject to many edits, and is "semi- protected" from anonymous IP addresses editing. Not a good status for a candidate article. -- Yellowdesk 01:37, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I have been working on the page and I believe it is ready for an FLC. However, before I nominate it, I was wondering if you would mind taking a look at it and telling me what you think (ie. If anything big is missing, if anything is unneeded, etc, etc). I didn't add any production info because I felt that none of it was really season specific and was better off in the main Lost article. Thanks, Scorpion 0422 17:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
The article Brown v. Board of Education you nominated as a good article has passed , see Talk:Brown v. Board of Education for eventual comments about the article. Well done! Gavin Collins 11:43, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
I don' know why you've put this article up as a Good Article nomination, when it is already an "A" article as an architectural article and that is what it is about, specifically. The next step is not GA, which is one down from where it is now.
It has remained almost completely stable for months. The last worthwhile suggestions on the discussion page were made in April by someone with expertise, and were responded to. Nothing substantial has been done since then, It was written by three people with expertise under the watchful eye of a number of others. It should be a "FA", but since I am its main author, I'm hesitant to put it forward. I've met some very rude people reviewing "FA"s, who knowing little, thought they knew all, which is disheartening. Particularly since I'm one of the few art editors who has had the time to take on really big generic projects and complete them, rather than just doing one painting or one building.
I am also the author of Italian Renaissance painting, Gothic architecture, Romanesque architecture, Sistine Chapel ceiling, rewrote most of Leonardo da Vinci which had lost its FA status, Fra Angelico, Giotto, Cathedral architecture of Western Europe, most of Stained Glass and quite a number of other associated articles.
If you feel inclined to put Renaissance architecture up as an "FA", I won't complain. Since it is already an "A", if it gets reduced to a "GA", I will feel extremely badly done by.

Um, I'm not sure how the lists you've been deleting fall under this policy; I'm sure notability may be an issue for some, but they are not loosely-associated topics or anything else I can see in the policy. — TAnthony Talk 00:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
opps ! my edit to the AFD explains what happened. :-) -- Fredrick day 01:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started ( 2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Why do you keep removing information about other broadcasts from The Ellen DeGeneres Show? The way I have pared it down, I don't see how it correlates to what rule you are quoting. I see that the international broadcast tables have been removed from every show, though. Your argument doesn;t hold about how the article should be about the "show" not its airings because this shows its internatioal popularity. bmitchelf• T• F 03:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
I reverted your edit on Rudy Giuliani because the information contained has many links to sourced information.

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:LOTD) 15:50, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Here are the potential problems with a good article nomination of Dismissal of U.S. attorneys controversy
It would be preferable to colaborate with editors familiar with the article to see if it might be gone over and improved before submitting a Good Article nomination. Also, having the collaboration and goodwill of knowledgable editors means there might be prompt reply to failures to meet the GA standard. At the moment, there is no such advance commitment to do that.
Sorry. Already done. will381796 ( talk) 04:22, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of January 6, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. haydn_likes_carpet ( talk) 22:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedical...I am writing today to ask for your participation in WikiProject Media franchises. You seem to have some interest in it, since you took the time to stop by and discuss the naming convention. It is just Emperor and me at the moment, and we could really use some additional editors to help us get articles identified as ones for the projects attention and assessed as such or written from scratch. Even if your only involvement is to keep an eye on what we are doing as a liaison from another project, that would be extremely helpful. I do not know everything there is to know about all the naming conventions, infoboxes, etc from the other projects, so I would love to have a core group of editors to help me coordinate this better. So, if you are willing to spend a little time with this project and help me figure out just how far and wide this project could, should, or would be; I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you. LA (If you reply here, please leave me a {{ Talkback}} message on my talk page.) @ 07:49, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedical...You are invited to come back to discuss WikiProject Media franchises. Since you participated in one or more discussions of the project, possibly when it was known as WikiProject Fictional series, I hope to see you return to it. The project needs your participation. Currently there is no activity on the project's talk page about the reorganization which is discouraging. I had great expectations for this project as it touches so many topics but am becoming discouraged. I hope to see you return.
