Architecture of Scotland

Hi. Thanks for your comments in the GA. I am going to try to deal with some of the editing issues today (like the lead), but it might take me a while to find sources for things like materials. Following up on your comments I am going to see if I can find information on this for all of the sections, but this is, of course, at the mercy of available sources and may take a while.--SabreBD (talk) 16:44, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I think I have implemented all the suggestions, but I would appreciate it if you could give them a look when you get time. I am open to suggestions over anything that is not quite clear, needs a bit more or could be in a better place, but I think it covers the bases a lot more consistently now.--SabreBD (talk) 18:01, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for all your efforts and helpful suggestions, which have helped it a much better article in the process.--SabreBD (talk) 19:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

It's a very interesting article, I enjoyed reading it. You've also got some very good sources in the bibliography. Pyrotec (talk) 20:04, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

GA review of European sovereign-debt crisis

Hi, There is POV tag on the article which leads to quick fail for the article. I asked in the review page to solve the problem but apparently nobody pay attention to it. I think we should fail the article.--Seyyed(t-c) 17:46, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Battle of Nablus (1918)

Hi, I hope these problems in the lead and background can be sorted out, and will begin by re-reading the guides to writing the lead you suggest, but as its a bit late here, I'll get stuck in tomorrow. Thanks for your interest and I really appreciate the time you have invested in this article. More soon, Regards, --Rskp (talk) 07:54, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for help bringing Battle of Nablus up to GA

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi ^{t | c} 17:28, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2012/GA1

Hi Pyrotec,

Following our previous discussion at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2012/GA1 in which I informed that I would be away from 26 July. There has now been an unexpected change to my start date, my first shift at London 2012 is now on 21 July, which means I will be unable to maintain normal Wikipedia duties from 20 July as I'll be travelling to London that day. I have fixed all the references on the article as suggested, which should make the review easier to complete now. Sorry to be a pain and throw this upon you so soon. The original reviewer did state they would finish off the review last night but that doesn't appear to have even happened now. Wesley Mouse 14:33, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

On behalf of WikiProject Eurovision I would like to thank you for picking up the pieces on the GA review for Eurovision Song Contest 2012. We are truly grateful of your time to re-review the nomination, and for the pass. I personally feel proud, as some had doubts that the article wouldn't reached GA status and that I was being foolish nominating it, but I had faith. Wesley Mouse 21:37, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Its not a topic that I would normally review, but I found it interesting. Thanks for your quick responses. It looked like a GA to me (and it was my 439th review - odd number), so faith pays off. Pyrotec (talk) 21:52, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Does that mean one of those little green GA + things will appear on my main user page? Wesley Mouse 21:56, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Well not unless you add it yourself. The article gets one automatically (in this case, I did it before the bot had time to do so). You could, if you choose to do so use a

This user has helped promote 1 good article on Wikipedia.

, or what ever the number is, on your user page. Pyrotec (talk) 22:03, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Oh that looks complexed. I shall not be deterred though and will attempt to put one on my page. Fingers-crossed I don't break the thing. Wesley Mouse 22:11, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I think I may have got confused. I meant the little GA and FA icons like User:Reckless182 has at the top of their page. Wesley Mouse 22:18, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in responding. I got distracted and then there was twenty twelve to watch (planted any chocolate covered nuts yet?). You need to add it it yourself (you could copy and paste from Reckless182' page), but I believe that you have sorted it by now. By the way, to get that green box above you just copy in {{User Good Articles}} but without the "tl|". Pyrotec (talk) 08:59, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Its quite alright for the delay, I appreciate that you are busy. Indeed I managed to sort out the problem, as I noticed Reckless128 had a personalised navbar in order to display the icons, so I managed to replicate something similar, which in turn inspired me to spruce up my main page too. I've not planted any chocolate covered nuts just yet, although myself and my small team of Games Makers have laughed and thought about planting M & M's. 2 days until I travel down to London - yikes! Once the games are over, I plan to start work on some of the other Eurovision articles and attempt to bring them to GA status too - using the current one as an example for writing/layout etc. Wesley Mouse 14:23, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't normally review "sports" nominations, I did Ferret legging (a sport according to the nominator), but I'm happy to look at any future ones that you submit (let me know because I won't be looking there). Enjoy the games, an opportunity of a life time; and if you need a smoke use a real cigarette not an electronic one. Pyrotec (talk) 15:18, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

GAN backlog drive

What I really meant was while I don't have the time to check lots, because you're doing half (or more) of the checking then it's most useful for me to check yours because you can't check yours. Hope you followed that! Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 14:26, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Minnesota Drive Expressway/GA1

I would say enough was mentioned and time given to make that an okay review, so that one can be counted. It is a bit close though. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:18, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't pretty sure sbout counting it either just like with One Direction 2013 World Tour (that i forgot to remove and Wiz took care of). Regards. —Hahc21 04:58, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Bangladesh at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games

Just curious to know why the Bangladesh at the 2011 Commonwealth Youth Games GAN review was not accepted. Is it because Bill william compton did some of the review too?--Dom497 (talk) 19:34, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I understand now, thanks!--Dom497 (talk) 22:11, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Google Chrome review check

Hey there. Can you revisit the checkmark on this one by TBrandley? It was reviewed in under 20 minutes, and for an article of that size I don't think he read it. If you already checked it and everything's fine then don't worry, just making sure everything was looked at, and thanks for helping look through all the reviews. Real world prevents me from doing more than I am on my end. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 04:55, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Wizardman, thanks for flagging this one. I've re-reviewed it and reversed my decision. Pyrotec (talk) 14:26, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Henri L'estrange

I've responded to your initial assessment for the GA review of Henri L'Estrange. Please advise if there's further changes needed. Cheers, Wittylama 05:11, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. It's now a GA. Pyrotec (talk) 19:49, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Asking for a review

Hello, Pyrotec. Remember your great chemical elements reviews. Want to ask you to have a look at this article: Metalloid. It's been two months since the main editor submitted it for GAN, and none has reviewed it as of now! He's a person who's working hard. He deserves to have the article thoroughly reviewed, which I know you're brilliant at. You also know about chemistry, so won't be a big problem for you. And I see you've got only one nom in progress. Could you do this please?--R8R Gtrs (talk) 20:59, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but it will be later this week, possibly Thursday or Friday, as I've got two reviews to finish off first. Pyrotec (talk) 19:51, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!--R8R Gtrs (talk) 20:30, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

RE: GAR review of Babrak Karmal

Thanks for taking you're time to review the article; I've complied to you're comments, and addressed the matters which you've mentioned. Are there anymore problems?? --TIAYN (talk) 10:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I did all, actually, but the edits seems to have been messed up somehow.... Even so, I've responded (}: --TIAYN (talk) 21:02, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't really get why some of the things I've done are not officially done... The reason; I probably don't know what I'm doing.... What Am I missing?? --TIAYN (talk) 10:23, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

I have not finished the review, I'm still working on it. Pyrotec (talk) 10:27, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Its a GA now. Pyrotec (talk) 10:55, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Shall I ask for a GAR?

Hi, this review here was one of the most shocking reviews in history. Amongst others (all reviewed by the same reviewer), shall I ask for a GAR, to allow them to have a proper, in depth review. That review I have linked is almost laughable. — M.Mario (T/C) 16:46, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

If you consider that the article does not deserve to be a GA, then referring it to GAR would be the appropriate response. I've reviewed quite a few of that reviewer's reviews (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/June-July 2012/Totals#Totals and I struck out the "points" for that one. The article could well be a GA, if it is there is no real benefit to submitting it to GAR; and its not all that fair on the nominator (its not the nominator's fault that it was poorly reviewed). I suspect that the article is a GA (but I've not reviewed it in any real depth), the review was however superficial. Pyrotec (talk) 17:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I to, suspect it most likely is GA standard, but however problems may have needed fixing, but was only one problem was picked up during the review? Anyway, I leave the article be. :) — M.Mario (T/C) 17:07, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk page of Battle of Tulkarm (1918)

Hi, I've just noticed my updates to this page don't appear to have registered in the 'view history' list, so maybe you are not aware of my responses to your comments regarding the GAR. --Rskp (talk) 01:02, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

The real world got in the way, so I did no editing at all on 25th July 2012, not as much as I intended to do on 24th July 2012 and nothing between 21st and 23rd, but I'm back now. Pyrotec (talk) 11:04, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much for reviewing this article to GA. I'm very grateful for your advice and interest. All the best, --Rskp (talk) 04:17, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Will you be reviewing the article? I have been eagerly awaiting your suggestions and keenly-focused critique.--ColonelHenry (talk) 07:08, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Nicki Minaj

Sincerest apologizes, friend. I started making some copy edits to Nick Minaj, despite your currently reviewing it. I'll desist from making any further changes until you post a thorough review. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 08:22, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

You got it. I wanted to avoid little mix-ups like you asking for a comma to be added minutes before I added one. Looks like I'll keep looking over the article. :) --Thevampireashlee (talk) 08:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello again, Pyrotec. Jennie and I finished amending Nicki Minaj, according to your requests. I am certainly ready to continue with the review, when you have the opportunity. --Thevampireashlee (talk) 01:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I've just spotted these latest comments. I was inactive on wikipedia on 21st & 22nd August 2012, but I've already restarted the review today. Pyrotec (talk) 21:21, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Bal maiden

I've undone this edit, as Parys Mountain is already linked two sentences previously.

I do appreciate your taking the time to go over this one in detail. BMs are completely unknown outside the southwest, but in Cornwall they're as much a part of the national identity as pasties, Betty Stog's beer and pretending to be interested in hurling. Our coverage of Cornish topics is frankly awful, and hopefully this one (and its follow-ups) will go some way towards redressing that. Mogism (talk) 15:09, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Woops, I'm doing a section/subsection at a time, so I don't always look at the lines above - and I sometimes forget what I've read. Pyrotec (talk) 15:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for passing it so promptly! Regarding FAC, I considered it but I have a feeling it would get bogged down on "source checking". I've no concerns that a source check will turn up anything problematic, but (if Worldcat is to be believed) Lynne Mayers's Bal Maidens - which is the definitive book on the topic, and from which this draws very heavily - isn't available in any libraries outside Cornwall other than the copyright libraries. I doubt it's even available in bookshops any further east than Exeter. (Some of the mining museums in Wales and the North may have a copy, but they tend to concentrate on coal.) Mogism (talk) 18:42, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

If you have some spare time

Several days ago, I put Joyce Kilmer up at WP:GAN. If you had a few moments, I would appreciate your suggestions and if possible a review.--ColonelHenry (talk) 02:15, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Meyerbeer

Many thanks for your review. I think I have now addressed the various points you made, either by rewording, adding references, or both. As regards Robert, I used that occasionally as a shortened form (much as people use Figaro for Marriage of Figaro) but I have substituted the full name throughout to be on the safe side. As far a descriptions of views are concerned I have sought to maintain the objective of WP:NPOV, to describe disputes, but not engage in them. I am confident that the descriptors now used are not controversial and are supported by the references given. Hope this many now be OK with you - Best, --Smerus (talk) 09:25, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Landless Workers' Movement

Hi, Pyrotec, I have reviewed the article's lead and added a definition of the movement nature and goals offered by the MST itself. An alternate version by an English-speaking scholar was retained.

As to the first two chapters, I have decided that both are historical in nature, therefore I've entitled one "historical antecedents" and the following "foundation of the MST" (would "birth" or "rise" be better, in this particular case? Comments welcome)Cerme (talk) 22:28, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
