Hi Chris, Per GA cup rules, I needed to fail the review if there is no response to the review comments. I went ahead and made edits that were already drafted in this GA review (Talk:Benjamin Church House (Bristol, Rhode Island)/GA1 - so that if you or someone else wishes to renominate this article, there's very little that should need to be done.--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

DYK for Five Mile Point Light
On 18 October 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Five Mile Point Light, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the original Five Mile Point Lighthouse (1805) was a 30-foot (9 m) octagonal wooden tower, its fixed white light from eight oil lamps with 13-inch (330 mm) parabolic reflectors? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Five Mile Point Light. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Questia account status?
Hello Chris, thank you for taking care of Questia account requests. I am probably too impatient (sorry), but how long does a renewal usually need to be re-activated? My request was removed on 6th, but the account still shows "Our records indicate your membership has expired." - should i get a mail, when the request is handled? If the re-activation should have been done by now, could you check the request's status please? GermanJoe (talk) 11:24, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- You need to make a new account entirely, with a new e-mail. I indicated this in the confirmation I sent out because a "renewal" of a free account cannot be done. Sorry, @GermanJoe: you are not alone in that thinking that your bookmarks and work can be carried over - but it cannot. This was checked with Questia several months ago and the system only supports paid renewals not re-activations of free trials. Please do not contact Questia over this (as I and other members of the Wikipedia Library are the go-to people for this). If you need any more help, please let me know. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:35, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Chris, thanks for the quick reply. I didn't receive a confirmation (or may have missed it due to age issues :) ). Could you resend the confirmation please? Is it sent to the mail account, that is stored in my en-Wiki preferences?. GermanJoe (talk) 15:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

- Just checking, do you use Yahoo mails by chance? My reason for asking: I just learned, that there is a problem with Yahoo mails over the Wiki-internal mail function. I did not receive your mail yet - if all else fails, I'll try to send you my email tomorrow (then you have my direct email address and can skip the en-Wiki function).

Questia Renewal Timing
When should one reapply for Questia access. My first access expired, I reapplied and after the processing my account was reinstated on or about December 13, 2013? Should a user reapply only after the account expires or at some time before then? If I may have missed the information on the project page, I am sorry to trouble you with a routine question. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 23:46, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Donner60: - I would do it after, just to be fair to others. Remember you will need a new e-mail and sign up brand new. It cannot be renewed with the old account. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:56, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information. Donner60 (talk) 05:58, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
