2nd opinion Talk:Syrgiannes Palaiologos/GA1 edit

Hi, I have left an opinion at the GA page. Good review. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ok - now that you have passed the aticle you need to change the GA template as described at WP:GAN


If you feel the article meets the Good article criteria:

  1. Ensure you have provided a detailed review of the article, giving an overview of how you believe it fulfills the Good article criteria, with suggestions to improve it if you can. Please also encourage the successful nominator(s) to review an article themselves.
  2. Remove the article from the nominations list using the edit summary "Passed [[ArticleName]]".
  3. Replace {{GA nominee|...|subtopic=|page=}} on the article's talk page by {{GA|~~~~~|topic=|page=}}. Please include "GA" in your edit summary.
  4. List the article on Wikipedia:Good articles under the appropriate section.

Your AOT Peer Review Suggestion edit

Pkk: Thanks for looking at the AOT article. If you don't mind, let me make a good pass thru in response to your parens objection. Then you can have at it if you think there are still too many parens. I have already thinned them out in Shiloh/Corinth section, and think it is improved by your thought. Hartfelt (talk) 17:00, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Pkk: I have finished my parens-reducing pass through the article, and hope you will find it improved in that regard. I have kept a number of parens for various reasons, but very much appreciate your suggestion as I think it will read more smoothly now. I have not really proofed after these numerous changes, and hope that I haven't introduced too many typos. Please let me know what you think when you have a chance.

AOT Matters edit

PKK: Thanks for your interest in the AOT article. Please see my recent posts to the peer review. Hartfelt (talk) 17:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Question re AOT notes edit

PKK: Thanks again for your work on the references section for AOT. Now that the references are in order, is it OK just to use a short form for the notes -- like Woodworth, p. x, without more? That seems to be suggested by the article citations for beginners, also by something written in the peer review list by Yellow Dog. The reader can then refer to the reference list to get the title. Or do you recommend something else? Hartfelt (talk) 20:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

PKK: Thank you for your post on the peer review page about the notes. If you don't mind, I probably will call on you again for feedback when I'm ready to start tweaking the notes formally. For the moment, I hope to back off entirely for a little while and get some more perspective on the big picture. Also, I've asked a couple of friends to review and comment on the piece and am interested to see what they have to say. Really appreciate your interest and elbow grease. Hartfelt (talk) 12:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Request re AOT article/Thanks edit

PKK: As you may have noticed, I have continued working pretty hard on the AOT article but really do hope to stop now. If you are willing, I would really appreciate your looking it over again and letting me have any reactions. Is it plausible to advance this as a possible featured article, or is GA status the appropriate goal? Also, many thanks, again, for the elbow grease you have already put in. (As you will see, I have followed your short-title suggestion in the notes. Have also added some more references, using the template you installed.) Hartfelt (talk) 21:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

I am not the person to ask about FA, or even A-class articles. I have contributed to precisely one (count them, one) GA article, and zero A or better. Equally to the point, I have never taken part in either an A or FA review. What this means is that I do not know what they look for in those lofty ratings. As I read the stated criteria, Army of the Tennessee seems to do everything they require, so I tend to say go for it. On the other hand, I keep reading complaints that articles are failed for obscure Manual of Style issues that I am not familiar with, and have no desire to become familiar with. I suppose that the best argument I can give for making the attempt is that you will not know unless you try; but then you will have another round of editing, as a new set of critics will come into the game. If you are prepared for that, you have my best wishes. PKKloeppel (talk) 00:20, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
PKK: Thanks for your reply. I must say I'm already worn out by my efforts on this and want to move on in life. Hartfelt (talk) 14:14, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

PKK: Just wanted to let you know that I have posted a request for A-Class review for the AOT article. Thanks very much for your help with the article. I appreciate your encouraging more discipline on parentheticals and also your efforts on the citations and references. This is my first such process, and I will be interested to see how it goes.

Convert edit

Hi there.

I just noticed you made some changes to Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 421 in which you removed the {{convert}} template and replaced it with hard-coded conversions with an edit summary of "style problems with {{convert}} template." What style problems are you referring to? I looked at the old version and didn't see any difference between what there was and what you changed it to.

Just curious -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 21:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

OK, that makes sense. I've been using the {{convert}} template on a number of crash articles and didn't realize the template was violating MOS. Thanks for letting me know. -- Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 03:18, 6 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
