Happy New Year!

Best wishes for the New Year!

Wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013!

Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate this year, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year.

Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, with the help of many dedicated Wikipedians!

Re

You are welcome buddy. It was a very interesting and captivating read. I would have never been able to write an article of such standard. Really. Jivesh1205 (Talk) 03:24, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Main page appearance: Highway 61 Revisited

This is a note to let the main editors of Highway 61 Revisited know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on February 28, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 28, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Highway 61 Revisited is the sixth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released in August 1965. Having until then recorded mostly acoustic music, Dylan used rock musicians as his backing band on every track of the album, except for the closing 11-minute ballad, "Desolation Row". Critics have focused on the innovative way in which Dylan combined driving, blues-based music with the subtlety of poetry to create songs that captured the political and cultural chaos of contemporary America. Leading with the single "Like a Rolling Stone" (a top-10 hit in several countries), the album features songs that Dylan has continued to perform live over his long career, including "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "Highway 61 Revisited". He named the album after the major North American highway connecting his birthplace, Duluth, Minnesota, to southern cities famed for their musical heritage, including St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans. The album, which peaked at No. 3 in the United States charts and No. 4 in the United Kingdom, was ranked No. 4 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. "Like a Rolling Stone" was listed at No. 1 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. (Full article...)

I'd Have You Anytime GAN

Hi Moisejp. Not sure if you're watching the page or not, but I think I've addressed everything in the GAR – thanks again for taking it on. And I see you've lost none of your admirers/fans from the last time I was here ... (I wish someone would give me a GA Medal!) Best, JG66 (talk) 22:10, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Thanks for those edits you made in the article's new lead-in text I added – spot on. I've just removed the two refs you were concerned about and left brief replies on the talk page. Just to let you know, I'll be away from home & computer for over a week starting in about 24 hrs time – I will have access to a computer occasionally but no books etc. It would be nice (from my point of view) to get the process finished before I go obviously, but I don't want to rush you. If necessary, we could take this up again in a week or more's time – if you had more to add to the review? Thanks, Moisejp. JG66 (talk) 07:45, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Moisejp, thank you so much for the Music Barnstar. As you know, I've been coveting your GA Medal – but that really is the finest-looking wikipedia barnstar I've ever seen!! Cheers, and thanks again for taking the time to do the review. JG66 (talk) 23:37, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Main Page appearance: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

This is a note to let the main editors of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 27, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 27, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan is the second studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on May 27, 1963 by Columbia Records. Eleven of the thirteen songs on the album are original compositions by Dylan. The album opens with "Blowin' in the Wind", which would become one of the anthems of the 1960s, and several other songs which came to be regarded as amongst Dylan's best compositions and classics of the 1960s folk scene: "Girl from the North Country", "Masters of War", "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right". Dylan's lyrics embraced stories ripped from the headlines about civil rights and he articulated anxieties about the fear of nuclear warfare. Balancing this political material were love songs, sometimes bitter and accusatory, and material that features surreal humor. Freewheelin' showcased Dylan's songwriting talent for the first time, propelling him to national and international fame. The album reached number 22 in the US (eventually going platinum), and later became a number 1 hit in the UK. In 2003, the album was ranked number 97 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. (Full article...)

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

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)

And thanks for getting this one into such good shape before nominating that no further work was required to pass it. Honestly, I often avoid reviewing music submissions because of the high level of copyediting usually required, but contributions like yours and User:Brandt Luke Zorn's are making me rethink my prejudices.

A strange one

Hi Moisejp – how are you? It's been a while, but I'm pleased to see you're still doing great work, judging by the above messages.

Look, I've got a real strange one here ... If you're not too busy, would you be able to look in at User talk:Quadell#mirror images? It's regarding a new Harrison biography, which … well, it basically rips off Wikipedia's Harrison album and song articles. Mighty strange, but mighty true.

What I'm hoping is, you might want to follow the link from Quadell's page and hit "helpful" on my Amazon review for the book – which I've signed as "HariG". In the interests of drawing attention to this issue – which, the more I think about it, is really concerning and far-reaching – I'd simply like to ensure that the review is helpful=popular enough to register in the listing's main space. Quite understand if you'd rather not of course (but I hope you do …). Many thanks. Best, JG66 (talk) 18:18, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Moisejp, big thanks for your support. Best, JG66 (talk) 09:19, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
