Did You Know

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Frederic Shoberl was the editor of Forget-Me-Not (pictured), a gift annual first published for 1823? ... I further expanded Shoberl and made it into a double DYK. Do find a moment to see if I have introduced any silly errors. Cheers. Victuallers (talk) 10:21, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

A British Museum guy. But what if anything do you make of the family history in that article? Fails on NPOV, may contain OR; can it be salvaged just by sorting out the way it is expressed. Charles Matthews (talk) 09:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

If you rip the early life and occupational to the top; move the commentary & supposition to the talk page; the family history should condense reasonably and tail the article reasonably well. I don't see that they are doing original research, they are citing reliable sources, and I think on those aspects they have done well as it is thorough citing. It will be more a measure once the pertinent facts are topped, how pertinent the remainder is to the article. Parts may need to be pertinent to the talk page. billinghurst sDrewth 15:26, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Frederic Shoberl

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

On June 10, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Frederic Shoberl, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Grab some glory, and a barnstar

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. mono^{pending changes begin june 15} 17:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Why am I getting this message? Mono's delivery method is random, so you probably showed up somewhere Mono went. :)
