GA criteria

I didn't realize they had gone live...maybe post that around, if you have the time. Thanks for the heads up, I will tweak it before my next review, alas I just finished a review with the current template, woe is me. IvoShandor 08:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Much appreciated. IvoShandor 09:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

System Shock FAC

I've pieced together a bit of the information for the magazine references, and will have located the last piece (the author and page number of the PC Gamer review) likely within the next 5-7 days. As for copyediting, my first choice was User:TKD, but he is currently busy with another FAC nomination. Do you have any suggestions for other people I could ask? I haven't been involved with FAC for some time, so I don't know who the big copyeditors are anymore. JimmyBlackwing 08:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I had considered them, but since I can't yet put the article in the section dedicated to featured article candidates (requires the only outstanding objection to be prose-related), it might take some time before anyone volunteers. Guess I'll just put it in the section for regular articles and hope for the best. JimmyBlackwing 20:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for this, sorry you seem to need to watch my back every so often... – Riana ^ऋ 12:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Heh, good idea! I'd love to see a page like that. Maybe with suggestions for avoiding drama, too... I've noticed that the best way to avoid it is not to create any yourself! – Riana ^ऋ 12:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! :)

Thank you for
defending my
talk page, Sir Tyler! ;)

Holy cow! It looks like our little Riana has an evil twin who doesn't seem to like me! :) Thanks for the quick revert, Tyler - with friends like you watching my back, I shall fear no evil ;) Phaedriel - 13:56, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Characters in Devil May Cry

Yo, I have taken some info from Dante's page and looked up around the web for some stuff. There is a lot of info about Dante, but virtually none about the rest of the cast, reviews say basically the same I included in my proto-section about how cool he is and for some reason they don't seem to comment about Vergil. Anyway here is what I have worked so far, please leave comments or suggestion on the page, thanks for your time. -凶 01:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Boradis took charge of the article while I was attending Devil May Cry 3's FAC, I think he covered all your suggestions please take a look when you can, it seems he has a question regarding the character influence section wich he left in the article's talk page, Peace. --凶 23:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for your help reviewing the page, great job as always. --凶 02:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Surfer Rosa

I'm not going to make a habit of this, but this album is paticularly close to me, and I would appreciate a review from you on FAC. I'm working on a ce at the moment, but am uncertain about a few things. eg: "Rolling Stone gave the album three stars when it reviewed the album in 1992 for Elektra's Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim re-release. However, when the magazine reviewed the album again in 2004" - can't find a synonym to avoid the repetition of "reviewed". Thanks. Ceoil 20:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Smash Bros GA

It passed! Wew! Now I can add a personal achievements section to MY page. :DQuatreryukami 02:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Royal Assent

Hi Tyler, if you get time can you revisit the FAR above, as there has been some work on 1c. Also, thanks for the look at Surfer Rosa; agree that there are some remaining prose issues, on your point about including some negative coverage; though there wasn't a whole lot ;).

Moorgate

I suppose i should have made some edits but i have been busy with other work. Simply south 10:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I know i started it off. I think i just do a quick look and then ones i think are a bit lacking i've put up for FAR. I suppose i should wait a longer period as you said and also place them up when more people are likely to look. The two i've put up though have been featured articles for about 1 year plus. Simply south 23:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

No you weren't rude. I would like to contribute to improve the articles i nominate and others generally. (I wish i had a FA, none yet...). I will take your advice into consideration. Simply south 23:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Dzasta

Far too disastrous! Nah, it just seemed kinda frivolous after a while. I'm not sure really, I think I was just looking through the user logs and found the Riana username and decided that I had to have it. Very possessive. ^^ By the way, have you seen User:Friday/drama? Cheers, – Riana ^ऋ 11:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Jim Thorpe

I noticed you commented on the Thorpe FAR. I was thinking about working on it but I don't really have the energy to do all the work necessary myself considering the other projects I've undertaken. If you'd like to collaberate I'd be interested in working on it. Maybe I can dig up sources and you could re-write sections of the prose, I subscribe to The New York Times so I have access to their awesome archives (literally like every article they published back to 1850 is available). I could also check out the books if I have time. Let me know if you're interested, it would be a shame for WP:NFL to lose a FA, not to mention what a quality article on an important figure like that does for the project on the whole.

Articles

Hey, Deckiller! As you know, I have been a great help on the FFXII article. I have been recently working on the Star Wars Episode VI and FFT articles and trying to improve it to vast quality. When you have the time, can you give me some tips, advice or pointers on the FFT and ROTJ articles? Thanks. I would love to appreciate it if you respond to this. Sjones23 21:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

template on FAC

Using my browser and (mid-sized) monitor, the template you placed on FAC overlaps the TOC... as does the distressingly long archives section.. maybe FAC should use {{Process header blue}}, similar to WP:GA/R? Thanks Ling.Nut 23:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I can try to move your template to a more felicitous spot on the page.. as for the archives, I dunno how twitchy FAC people are. Should I just do it, or make the suggestion and ask for yes/no replies? Ling.Nut 23:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

This looks somewhat better (ignore the various redlinks). Ling.Nut 00:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates better? Ling.Nut 12:30, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Question: What happens to FACs that no one votes on? What if only one.. two.. or three people vote? Thanks! – Ling.Nut 01:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Template

Hey there, just a note to say that I really enjoy your recent template addition to the FAC page. I may transclude it to my userspace somewhere since I'd like to get more involved in FA review. In fact, without further ado:
