DYK redundancy
[edit]Why don't you have a go at removing the redundancies and making other improvements on a separate page, then asking for feedback. I'm having some success using that method (Non-free content, featured sound criteria, now the MOS, dare I say it!). See User:Tony1/MOS comparison: Capital letters.
Star Wars on the main page
[edit]The original Star Wars film article A New Hope will be featured on the main page in a few hours and someone has replaced the poster with a free-image of the hotel that was used for filming. In my own personal opinion, I find it to be ridiculous substitute for the poster. I've appealed to User:Raul654 (who is out of town and may or may not have access to the internet) and User:Pharos who changed it (and has answered me back yet). I was hoping that you would back me up on this maybe consider placing the poster back in yourself. The Filmaker 18:32, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Featured article candidate
[edit]Hello, my name's Paul, and a few weeks ago you were kind enough to support an article I had nominated, Quatermass II, in its featured article candidacy. At the time you also asked if I would "please write some more FACs." And I have done so! I currently have the article on Rudolph Cartier (the director of Quatermass II) up at FAC here. It's been up a few days but not attracted many votes either way thus far — any chance you could possibly give it the once-over and say yay or nay? Many thanks! Angmering 18:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Featured Article Medal
[edit]Another jewel in the Zelda crown—thanks for your help. I figure you're earned this a few times over:

More vandalism
[edit]I found a speedy delete article Intercourse (Pirates of the Caribbean), which is a vandalized version of Interceptor (Pirates of the Caribbean). Judgesurreal777 03:05, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Did you know? was updated. On 27 May, 2007, a fact from the article Kona low, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Esperanza?
[edit]It would be a good idea to modify your Esperanza page as follows (since Esperanza is no more):

Spoiler warnings
[edit]If you really want to keep any reference to plot out, you're welcome - but I do feel the 3rd para hints at that anyway, and that I was just making it more explicit. In which guideline, if any, do you think arguments such as this should exist? I reckon the problem sentence containing "(such as Wikipedia aspires to be)" could still use some work as well - your thoughts? --DrumCarton 21:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Well, i suppose the aim, as with any WP policy, is to gradually drift towards a compromise. At least this isn't the kind of issue people are going to tear their hair out over for weeks (I hope). If another couple of people come in and start editing the policy, and if people work towards compromises (as you did to my edit) rather than total reverts, it should all sort itself out... --DrumCarton 22:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Gameplay of Final Fantasy
[edit]I think that you should activate that article, that way we can combine some of the weaker articles like Limit break. I took a glimpse at it, and it looks great. Judgesurreal777 22:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Aquaman
[edit]On May 10, 2007 you critiqued Aquaman (TV program) in its FAC. I was wondering if you'd return to review the article again. It has undergone more copy editing since your critique. If you have the time to view it again, that would be great. Thank you. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 17:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
WP:GA
[edit]I've been meaning to say hello, and thank you for your sensible and positive comments at the WP:GA talk page. I have the impression you are dedicated to try to make GA work and I admire that. I think it could work, and have been trying to make positive suggestions myself. There is a lot of despair about the process from the scientific/mathematical side of WP, and it must be quite challenging to address it, particularly if reviewers make matters worse by not reading the guidelines. Good luck, anyway, Geometry guy 22:35, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think we agree in general about what WP:GA should be. Please be bold; I will support almost any alteration which seems likely to make the process work. (It is cynicism to suggest that what is actually needed is an editor transplant.) Septentrionalis PMAnderson 23:05, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
FF articles
[edit]Hey, Deckiller! I haven't talked to anyone, nor have I edited Wikipedia ever since my Internet connection has been down for about a week. Can you please help me out on any of the FF articles, including Characters of Final Fantasy X? I would be much appreciated if you respond to this message. Thanks. Sjones23 19:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Could you peer review Karmichael Hunt. That would be much appreciated.
