List of Governors of Bombay

Thankyou for your comments at the FLC. The List was promoted. Kensplanet^T_C 07:17, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Ernie Reyes Sr

I think it would be best if you look at what you're unblanking before you unblank it. That article is a bunch of unverifiable, unreferenced garbage written, probably, by the subject of the article. I'm sure a lot of that information is good, but until somebody does the work of finding out what it is, it shouldn't be there at all. 200.27.146.116 (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Recordz

Haha. I did, on January 23rd :P--TRUCO 01:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, sorry. I was just leaving messages at everybody's talk pages of the WP, I didn't really pay attention to who they were. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

It's cool man.--TRUCO 01:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Since you notified me, I responded to what you stated here. You think we can notify reviewers about this, since it affects them as well?--TRUCO 01:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Happy Dabomb87/Archive 6's Day!

User:Dabomb87/Archive 6 has been identified as an Awesome Wikipedian, and therefore, I've officially declared today as Dabomb87/Archive 6's day! For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian, enjoy being the Star of the day, dear Dabomb87/Archive 6! Peace, Rlevse ~ A record of your Day will always be kept here.

A very belated thanks! Dabomb87 (talk) 20:55, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

USMA FAC, thanks

Thanks for helping out with cleaning up the lengthy list of comments on USMA's FAC page. I'm just not experienced enough yet to understand how to navigate through the protocol of such a lengthy set of issues and concerns. I realize that SandyGeorgia must be overwhelmed by the amount of dialog, but as I just posted at the bottom of the page, support is running 5-1 for at this time, and the 1 object has had his concerns addressed, but has yet to strike those concerns. Thanks again for taking your own time to clean up the FAC page. I really appreciate it and I'm learning from watching your edits.  Ahodges7   ^talk 02:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem! The article is important and is worth the effort. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I left my extensive comments on Saturday, today is Monday. Please do not rush me. I was in the process of adding comments and strikes when you left your "note". This is not a process to be rushed and I am sure SandyGeorgia wouldn't mind an extra few days or even week. We are working on quality here. 02:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Sandy had requested. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:32, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I replied to Sandy. KnightLago (talk) 02:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I have struck and replied with comments. Please let me know if you have any questions. KnightLago (talk) 04:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: ECW

Thanks for letting me know, I hopefully can get a review by Rambo. I don't want to ask WP:PW members because of WP:COI. Thanks for letting me know also about the poker list, I revisited that nom.--TRUCO 21:16, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that just asking for a review from WP:PW is a COI, as long as you do it in a neutral manner. Anyway, it doesn't matter now that Rambo reviewed it. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:18, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: GANs

I've got three up, but only Mario Kart DS has a chance at FAC as the other two are Simpsons episodes, and well, per Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Day the Violence Died/archive1... Gary King (talk) 04:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

For Mario Kart DS in particular, the Development section is short. If you can find more information for it, please let me know. Gary King (talk) 04:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I was just going to say something along those lines. Dabomb87 (talk) 04:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Most are just useful for Gameplay; not as many for Development. However, the interview looks interesting; I will see what I can dig up. Gary King (talk) 04:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hello, I am new. Could you give some tips on editing the Wikipedia, if I am so moved to? God'sGirl94 (talk) 14:38, 4 February 2009 (UTC) moved from User talk:Dabomb87/Barnstars

Thank you very much. You have been a great help to me. --God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement. I will need it for fear I could be kicked out. How do I avoid that? --God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Just remember to stay civil and treat everyone with respect. Always cite your sources and discuss controversial changes on an article's talk page. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me, but I cannot seem to edit the Horses page. I found a couple things that I needed to fix, but I can't find the edit button. Do you know where it is by chance? --God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Horse is semi-protected—that means only users who have had their account for more than four days and have ten edits can edit those pages. Read about it here. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Horses

Thank you for that tidbit. I will work on getting to the point where I can edit it, because I found info on there that was very wrong. --God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:18, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay...could you explain it again, it doesn't make too much sense. My brain is fried in the morning, which is bad. --God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH for your patience with me. I'll get the hang of it...eventually. --God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:28, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I did?--God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:29, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Yep! Dabomb87 (talk) 15:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes. On my watchlist page, there is (diff) what does that mean?--God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:31, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

A diff shows the difference between two versions of a page. See Help:Diff. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:33, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh. What is Adopt-A-User? I saw that and was curious.--God'sGirl94 (talk) 15:35, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

More details here, but basically it is like a mentorship between experienced editors and new editors. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:36, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh. I will ask how, but I will go and see myself, just so I don't seem dumb.--God'sGirl94 (talk) 20:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Record Charts

Hi, I don'y know if someone invited you before, but since you are helping the project a lot lately, I thought you may want to join. Frcm1988 (talk) 18:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to invite you to join the newly formed Record Charts WikiProject. There are a lot of Record-Chart-related articles on Wikipedia that require attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Record Chart pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks!

Premiere (The O.C.)

First, thanks a lot for your current copyediting and second, I have suggested a solution to the additional problem. However I did come here to ask a quesion. I notice your removed a period from publisher=Warner Bros here. As it is an abbreviation I guess your removed it because it gives a double period in the reflist (Warner Bros..), if this is the case should I go and do this for all the other references publisher by Warner Bros.?

thnx--God'sGirl94 (talk) 21:37, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Just a heads up

Be on the lookout for any of these guys. This guy already "protested" the changes of number-ones lists (to the tables with images) and left some rants on the Project Talk Pages: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Record Charts#Format changes from lists to tables. Basically what he is doing is reverting the articles, then copying all the text (in its old format) and creating new articles with a variation on the name, like "List of 2003". If you place warnings on his page, he'll then copy all the contents onto your talk page and on his talk page and on his user page, wherever he can put it. I've had to block and also give full protection to his pages and delete a number of articles he created; it's ridiculous. Soooo... just be on the lookout, check User Contributions, report to AIV, whatever. Later! - eo (talk) 23:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah thanks, I think found one more—User:Cheesecups. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:17, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Peer review

Hi there, Thanks for your advice on my Featured List nomination for List of number-one singles from the 2000s (UK) - I believe that I addressed all points but noticed the review had been archived. I wondered if you could have another look at the article as I have put it in for peer review before renominating it. Thanks. 03md (talk) 11:30, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, I will look at this later today. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:12, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Could you also look at peer reviewing Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Peer review/List of Metroid media when you get the chance? I want to send it to FLC soon. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 20:55, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Done the Metroid list PR, {{doing}} done the other. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:28, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm currently working on Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day!. If you have time, could you peer review it at it's peer review and/or copyedit it? Or at the very least, could you take a look at its Gameplay section? I tried to make it as least confusing as possible, such as the part where brain age is explained. Gary King (talk) 03:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I spent a few hours cleaning up the article, so I decided to bring it to GAN. You now have the option of either giving it a full peer review or reviewing it for GAN :) Gary King (talk) 21:03, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Pigs might fly

The whole affair is so totally nasty, but I add comments each time when I come back. The last time I came back fresh, I found a quiet spot to bring in a little humour. Ever since a saw a cute picture of a piglet which Tony1 had on his talk page, I've been kinda inspired... Of course, not necessarily everyone will be amused, and some might even squeal, but you could call it a defense mechanism on my part. Of course I'm supportive of you and the work you do with FAs. I think the Tennis expert has been deliberately provocative and vindictive by proposing those punishments, and I hope ArbCom sees through his hypocrisy.

Atorvastatin

Hi, first of all thank you for your comments, and about the citations, i created most of the article, and i added more than 85% of its citation, but all this appear as one edit because i created a draft on my subpages, and copied it immediately, please check the page history on this link, the only major part i didn't edit is Atorvastatin#Market, i created all the other parts, thats why i can take comments and reviews of the article, anyways, please give me some advise about how can i improve the article to at least a good article, i guess its worth that, again thank you for your time Maen. K. A. (talk) 22:25, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Sure! I think it would be good if you set up a peer review for the article. Then, you can ask editors who are knowledgeable in medical subjects to peer review the article and give advice for a future GAN and FAC. I will also try to help out. Regards, Dabomb87 (talk) 22:29, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

thank you, i ll set up a peer review, and thank you for pointing that.

Fixed. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:38, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: 2008 Humanitarian Bowl FAC

You're not being unreasonable at all. While I was going through the article, I found it a touch wordy at times, and you obviously agree. Some may consider the comments picky, but I don't. Those "picky" issues are what seperate very good articles from our best work, and I encourage you to keep finding and commenting on them. Giants2008 (17-14) 03:42, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, that is reassuring. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

You are both certainly entitled to your opinions, and I welcome and will carefully consider any comments or constructive criticism. By the same token, I am not simply going to agree with stylistic differences out of hand. I'm not trying to be obstructionist. Those "picky" comments (as you call them) do not in fact separate articles. They highlight differences of writing style, not "brilliant" or otherwise writing (and I think its a little hyperbolic to characterize any truly encyclopedic prose as "brilliant"). You may think that other bowl articles are "more refined" (whatever that means), but if you compare them using the readability tools you will see they are very similar, particularly in metrics that measure "wordiness" (e.g., 1.52 vs. 1.59 words per syllable and 19.55 vs. 19.18 words per sentence; [1] & [2]). In my opinion, the article is at least as good as the other FA bowl articles. Thinking I was mistaken, I revisited one of those (2000 Sugar Bowl) and picked a random place to read:

"Virginia Tech received the game's opening kickoff in their end zone for a touchback, and the Tech offense began at its 20-yard line. On the game's first play, Tech committed a five-yard false start penalty. Running back Shyrone Stith was stopped for a loss on the first non-penalty play of the game, but Tech made up both that loss and the penalty when quarterback Michael Vick scrambled for 25 yards and a first down."

I don't mean to insult anybody, but that is not, in my opinion, "more refined" (or less "wordy" or more "brilliant" or "crisper") than the text in the article in question. I also don't think it is particularly relevant to compare two articles. Strikehold (talk) 16:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

the "hearing"

I find it odd to have to pose these questions, here and here. Tony (talk) 14:12, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I had a question for Ryan also. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

FLC preload

Can you find the pre-load template for FAC, I can't seem to find it so I can create a test page for the FLC one.--TRUCO ⁵⁰³ 16:31, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Alright. Here is the page, here is the diff where Gimmetrow added the preload. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

So we should add that diff from Gimmetrow into the FLC talk template? Also, is the message in the preload (the one that is on top of the edit box that states like the rules for FLC noms) located in that same page?--TRUCO ⁵⁰³ 16:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

What is the FLC talk template you speak of? Dabomb87 (talk) 16:52, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I meant the one that goes on talk pages {{FLC}}. Oh okay, so will those be affecting all current noms as well?--TRUCO ⁵⁰³ 17:11, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Question re: Internet Movie Database (imdb.com)

Hi there, just thought I would ask you a quick question. Is IMDb.com generally considered a reliable source? I would love to use this link as a source citing awards and nominations for Danny Elfman.

List of United States Naval Academy alumni

This is sort of long, and there are dozens more that could be added, so I’m not sure what to do with this. It still needs work with things like formatting; first only linked, consistency in dates 1999-2000 vs (1999-2000), verbiage, etc. West Point would be even worse, Air Force, CG, and Merchant Marine not so bad. I hope to get to FL, maybe even a featured topic. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:46, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

List of Popotan episodes

I believe I have resolved it with that last citation.じんない 05:28, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Before I resubmit the article, I'd like to know if the database is fine for the entire timeline given that it gives the first and last dates shown and says it aired every Thursday. I don't believe that would constitute original research to basically look at a calander and confirm that Thursday was those days.じんない 22:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't either, but you may want to ask that question on WT:FLC just to be sure. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

After some talk with RR and with no input at all from FLC talk page, I'm not sure what to do. I have removed the mention of not having promotional items in the English DVDs (which was one of his criteria for not passing), however I'm not sure how to deal with the airdates. Considering I have done multiple exhuastive searches in both English and Japanese for any variance in air dates and found not one mention, that the cite I'm using is considered by Penn Library as among the highest academic databases of its kind and it lists the days as thursdays and does not mention a change in scedule which appear on some of its other articles I do not know what to do. I do not have access to the print sources for daily listings of showtimes in Japan. The main website for the anime and the TV network cannot be sited because the former is defunct and the latter does not archive it's history. Any other reliable source just lists the dates for the first and last and if anything else thursday and the time of day. Unreliabe sites like fansites, wikis or blogs are the only sources that list other dates.じんない 01:44, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The fact the official site is defunct does not make it useless. See some of my recent findings here. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 09:19, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

List of Philadelphia Phillies first-round draft picks

I have to say that I respectfully disagree that there is no good reason to change the font size of the key, and no, I don't think it's necessary to change the others. One, we aren't making robot lists, and two, I believe that the table is more visually appealing (per Cr.6) with a smaller key because it draws the readers' eyes downward to the main thrust of the article. Honestly, I see no reason why keys shouldn't be at the bottom as clarifiers, but the top is always the way it's been done, so I continue that way. On the team seasons lists, the playoff keys are usually noted in a small font, which was my first FL and is why I continue to make small keys.

Well, unfortunately, the discography was denied FL promotion. I have no problem with Drewcifer's opposition, but I am still not sure about the best solution to the sources issue that was raised. I have asked him specifically what I can do to earn his support when I re-submit the list for FL status, and I hope you will provide me with your support once again.

List of United States Naval Academy alumni topic samples

Would something like this be okay for say the astronaut section:

Astronauts

Main article: List of United States Naval Academy alumni (Astronauts)

or just what template should I use there? Should I put any sample astronauts or just list them all in the sub article?

template is now sortable, Gadget850 updated the code for me. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:35, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I am busy and will come back in about 10 hours. Dabomb87 (talk) 13:30, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I also don't see where the Waterloo list has its notability criteria, for me, they have to meet wiki article criteria and actually have an article. The question about what template to use to link to a sub article and do I need to list any sample alumni in the main article remains too. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:57, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

It seems to me that you could include the most notable astronauts, with a {{main}} link to the subarticle. It could be difficult to determine which are the most notable, though, so maybe you could include the first 5 or so in alphabetical order? –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 03:32, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, I think I'll go with that plan, name the subpages ".... (Topic)" like the astronaut one above, with 5 sample grads on the central list with a main link to subpage with the full list of astronauts (or whatever). Any more input, please post on my talk page. Thanks for the help to all. — Rlevse • Talk • 11:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Userbox for GA reviews

The userbox {{User Good Articles reviewed}} has been updated so that it can now link to a page in your user subspace where you keep track of all your GA reviews, if you have such a page. This can be done by adding a | and then the name of your user subpage (or subsection of your regular user page) wherever you have the template called. For example, on my user page I am using

{{User Good Articles reviewed|6|User:Rjanag/GA reviews}}

which displays as

This user has reviewed 6 Good Article nominations on Wikipedia.

There is more information on how to do this at Template:User Good Articles reviewed.

Note: If you are not interested in doing this, you don't have to do anything; the template will still work for you exactly as it does now.

User adding list of stocks to articles

Hi, if you can, could you weigh in on User_talk:Iifacts#Stock_information? A user is adding a list of stocks that Warren Buffett owns to his article (here, here, and here), and so I am removing them. But they added them back again, so before this turns into anything bigger, could you please have a look and weigh in? Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 02:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment; Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway could probably use a few more people watching them as him and his company have recently been in the news a few times lately, more than normal. Gary King (talk) 02:40, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

"A few times" seems below average to me ;) Dabomb87 (talk) 02:42, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, well I will be watching both Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway indefinitely starting last night, since they both seem to fall into disrepair over time.

I think WP:3RR is worded so that you need to be more than three reverts. Anyways, this is giving me a headache. I rarely bring anything to ANI, but I guess this might have to go that way—or 3RR. Gary King (talk) 03:18, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I know, it was just a heads-up. ANI may be a bit premature, an uninvolved admin might be better first. Your call. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:21, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't know what an admin would do, if I just asked them to take a look like I did with you. Gary King (talk) 03:23, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I can take that, I just ultimately don't want to bring this to ANI if I don't have to, but it might just be easier than continuing this. Gary King (talk) 03:24, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Warren Buffett

To Dabomb87: it seems that you are in charge here...the stock info is up-to-date and verifiable (SEC.gov), I will maintain that. Removing stock holding info from Warren Buffett's page is doing a disservice to the readers.

Also, it's no right to have one person dictating the page. Gary works hard but it does not mean he did something right and useful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iifacts (talk • contribs) 02:46, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Removing GA template

Just wondering why you removed the GA template on Eastbourne. I reverted back to an earlier version to remove some vandalism, but did not know if there was a reason the GA template was removed. MortimerCat (talk) 14:12, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

GAs don't have the GA symbol transcluded like FAs do. If you look at what links to the GA template, only Eastbourne had the GA symbol transcluded. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

colwidth

{{reflist|colwidth=30em}} doesn't break in browsers because in a browser with a small resolution, it will typically show the references in two columns. The colwidth determines dynamically how many columns a browser will see depending on its width. Gary King (talk) 02:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the clarification. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:26, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

In your haste to undo some of my work on Great Tew within two minutes of my putting the article online, and then to undo some of my work on Thame, Lower Heyford and Bloxham, you seem to have overlooked the fact that the rubric for an edit summary says Briefly describe the changes you have made.

Luckily. I was editing while this was unfolding, so I was able to respond quickly. Since I don't want to edit the FLC after its archival, I'll run down the changes here.

• Did the first two prose changes, which were good redundancy/wordy spots.
• The photo link was already in the licensing column. To make it more explicit, I added a link in the summary. This was actually my first edit on my new Commons account.
• The external link was suggested by a previous reviewer. It doesn't matter to me, but I wouldn't mind keeping it.
• Couple of notes from your changes: first, I removed the hyphens you added, as I didn't think they worked well. I've never seen Major League or American League hyphenated, and while I wouldn't mind "franchise-record", I don't like it as much for "franchise records". Second, the fraction template is causing the fraction to be too large to fit in its box. That might be something of interest beyond this article. Giants2008 (17-14) 15:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't really care what happens with the external link. Keep it, nothing is harmed. I don't know why I added the hyphens, it didn't help that much. What do you mean about the fraction being too big? It looks fine to me. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

It was pushing the 3 to the point that the bottom of the number was not showing up in the area, cutting out the lowest curve. Maybe it's just my computer, but it didn't look right. Were you looking at the current version or one from your edits? Giants2008 (17-14) 23:14, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Just to keep you up to date, I've gotten all of the redirects in List of Olympic medalists in ice hockey and I think Maxim addressed your other concerns. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:06, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Walter Price (Worcestershire cricketer)

Hello. Thanks for cleaning up this article; it's appreciated. One small point, in case you clean up other cricket-related articles: "his best bowling of 4/87" is quite acceptable cricket terminology, although "his best bowling return of 4/87" is more elegant, so I've changed it to that. You changed it to "his best bowling showing of 4/87", but the phrase "bowling showing" is pretty much never used in cricket writing. I hope that's helpful, and thanks again.
