Hi! It's been quite a while and I did quite a number of fix-ups on DeLancey W. Gill, since I felt like it was finally time to try to bring it back through FAC. Since you were so kind to do a peer review and FAC review last time, I was curious if you would want to take a look and see if there's still any outstanding issues with the article.

Thank you for the lovely article (among many others)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- And thank you for reviewing it! UndercoverClassicist T·C 08:42, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- That was a pleasure! - I nominated Bach's BWV 104 for GA, - would you be interested? First performed the second Sunday after Easter 1724, which was 23 April then. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (look up places)? - I was undecided so show three versions ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- The statue is of Hildegard of Bingen, and as it happens, her Physica is on the Main page today, and Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms (a player in the rock band with the "rock abbot, a large wooden sculpture of Jesus behind a church altar made by handicapped people, and the conductor of the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein

Arab–Khazar wars edit
Hi! I intend to bring the article on the Arab–Khazar wars back for a second run at FAC soon. Since you made a most comprehensive review in the first run, can you check whether your concerns, as stated there have been addressed? Regarding the Silk Road specifically, I admit I am baffled; as you say, not my field, but though there is much debate going on on when it started and what its exact nature was, I have not encountered skepticism of the Silk Road as such. Can you point me to some literature? Thanks! Constantine ✍ 12:30, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Constantine -- I'll try to give it a look when I can. Regarding the Silk Road, the issue is less whether silk and other goods were traded between Europe/Persia/China (they certainly where) and more whether a single, centrally-planned "Silk Road" is the best way to conceptualise this trade, as distinct from a series of smaller and more ad hoc connections between people(s), including connections by sea. This edited volume looks at the topic in detail; the British Museum opt for the plural here, as do UNESCO here. This JSTOR article goes into good detail as to why the plural is useful, and offers the routes across the steppe as a case study. UndercoverClassicist T·C 08:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at the lead, I noticed that where the Khazars were already established since the late 6th century.: were ... since isn't quite grammatical in English: had been ... since is better. Otherwise, I'm sure I'll be able to find some nits to pick at FAC -- it is after all a huge article, and testament to your hard work and patience -- but it's clearly in good shape.

Hey when is it ok to edit articals --Tyj1875 (talk) 23:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! Anyone can edit articles: if you can see a straightforward mistake, go ahead and fix it!. For more complicated additions or changes of content, it's best to be ready to show where you got that information from, as we only allow information which has been sourced from existing published work. Happy editing! UndercoverClassicist T·C 14:17, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from Jessamine Marie Glister (16:40, 9 April 2024) edit
Hi, where do I create a new page for publication, please? --Jessamine Marie Glister (talk) 16:40, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello -- the place you want is Articles for Creation, which has a process to walk you through it. You might want to have a read of the various notability guidelines to make sure that the topic is eligible for an article before you get started. UndercoverClassicist T·C 14:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
The secretum... edit
...is back! This time at FAC; if you have either time or inclination to pop in, it would be most welcome. I went through your PR comments after closing it down a month or so ago, and hope I have done them justice. The only area where I drew a blank was in going through Vout's works. All are fascinating in their own right, but while she refers to the collections of Witt, Townley, et al, there is nothing about the Secretum which I can work in, unfortunately. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:54, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from Kwanele Sikobi on Talk:Black Panther Party (12:30, 14 April 2024) edit
What is the meaning of Boycott? --Kwanele Sikobi (talk) 12:30, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Tiger PR edit
I listed tiger for peer review. Would appreciate a through review to prepare it for FAC. LittleJerry (talk) 13:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- What are your plans? I feel like it would be better if you reviewed it at PR than FAC. LittleJerry (talk) 23:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello -- I'll try to give it a look. UndercoverClassicist T·C 08:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
UndercoverClassicist, will you be returning to your review here soon to respond to the nominator? If not, please let me know if you'd prefer that another reviewer take over. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
DYK for Stanley Casson edit
On 17 April 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Stanley Casson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Review comment query edit
Dear UndercoverClassicist, I happened to notice, while scrolling the "History" section of the list of Good Article nominations, that you have undertaken to review the article on King George II, for which "additional comments are welcome". I would like to offer such a comment, for what it's worth, but I am not sure where I should write it and I thought I should ask your help in this matter. Should I add my comment in the "Discussion" section or am I supposed to create a new section in the review page? Thanks in advance for your response, Ashmedai 119 (talk) 19:11, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello -- up to you: if you only have one or two comments, or want to join in with a conversation that's already started, you might wish to just directly add what you have to say to what's already there. On the other hand, if you have a substantial amount to say, it would be best to start a new subsection, titled after your username, and to put them there. UndercoverClassicist T·C 06:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, hope you are doing well. I have read all the initial Wikipedia policies. I have done some edits as well to practice and memorize the policies. The community has been very helpful as well. I want to learn to source editing. It seems to me some sort of a programing language, I don't know what it is called. If you can guide me regarding it, I will be very grateful. Thank you. --Annika59 (talk) 19:40, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello -- honestly, I think the best way to learn how the markup works is to simply have a look at it when you're editing (most things, like text and links, are fairly self-explanatory if you look at the code and the finished article alongside each other). You might want to have a look at this help page, which has some of the basics on it.
- You'll see a few templates (in pointy brackets, like this:
{{sfn|Smith|1994|p=18}}-- those each have their own documentation, which you can find by searching for Template: and then whatever is after the bracket but before the first | (so "Template:sfn" in this case). Generally speaking, you don't have to do too much with those to be able to do most things. UndercoverClassicist T·C 06:24, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
