I have addressed all of your concerns. The quote thing is more of a personal preference as to how I want the article to look. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 21:14, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Slide Hollow
Hello! Your submission of Slide Hollow at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! w.carter-Talk 18:27, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
What?
Hey Jakec! There is something fishy (no pun intended) going on with Template:Did you know nominations/Coal Run (North Branch Buffalo Creek). When I opened it to start the review it "became" the Template:Did you know nominations/North Branch Buffalo Creek. As far as I can see there is no double DYK here, so what is going on? BTW, I wanted to review it simply because of the hook. :) Cheers, w.carter-Talk 18:55, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
- @W.carter: It looks like I got careless while copy-pasting the code for the DYK nomination and broke {{DYK nompage links}}. Try now. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
- PS: I'm glad the hook turned out to be a good one :-) --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 19:06, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, seems to be working now. I'll be in touch. w.carter-Talk 19:08, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Prabhanjan Sanket
In your recent revert on the article Prabhanjan Sanket mentioned that A7 does not applies to the newspaper. Well, newspaper companies are considered to be organization where A7 states existence of the person... organization etc. which does not have significance will be covered under A7 (it does not states that the newspaper companies will not be covered). Another things, my that CSD was as per A7 and G12 but you have left comment only for A7 (what about G12?). — CutestPenguinHangout 14:28, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- This article is about the newspaper, not the company that owns it. You also tagged it as G11, not G12. It was not blatantly promotional. The article consisted of two sentences, both of which were factual. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 23:26, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you for clearing my doubts. Anyways, that newspaper company is not notable at all I will consider Afd. — CutestPenguinHangout 18:49, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Halfway Run
Sorry, I didn't know. I was just trying to tidy up the chart. Thanks for changing it back. Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, no problem. Your contributions to DYK (both content-related and administrative) are appreciated. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 20:27, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
Convert template
Hey Jakec, could you please try to ensure that you use the {{convert}} template sensibly so it doesn't render something absurd like "between 680 and 700 feet (210 and 210 m)" (as you currently have at Plum Creek (Little Shamokin Creek))? I've fixed half a dozen of these and it's becoming tedious, I'm surprised that you're okay with it, that your reviewer at each and every DYK is okay with it and the promoting admin at DYK is okay with it. It's really easy to fix, add a |0
before the closing brackets and it should stop the absurd conversion. It would be very helpful if you re-visited your other creek and pond articles to make this fix before any more of them appear on the main page courtesy of the lame DYK QPQ review process. Thanks for your understanding. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:41, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
- Done for all the tributaries of Shamokin Creek, and I will keep an eye on this in the future. (Lakes shouldn't be affected since they don't have elevation ranges). --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 17:36, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
