Pluto edit

The issue is that that paragraph isn't about scientific objections. Scientific objections are listed elsewhere. That paragraph deals with personal or sentimental reasons for wishing to keep Pluto a planet. Serendipodous 21:50, 16 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification edit

Hi. When you recently edited Rheingold Beer, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carrie (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Re:A suggestion edit

I appreciate your message, but do not come with an attitude with me as if I was lecturing you about sources. Eventually, I saw your source accepted your revert of mine. I even moved the section in the admirals article to it's proper place, or didn't you see that? I have been here way too long to be receiving messages with an attitude from users such as yourself.

Percy Jackson Task-force edit

Hi, I'm looking to help revamp the Percy Jackson Task-force, a project dedicated to maintaining articles related to Rick Riordan and Percy Jackson & the Olympians. I noticed your edits on some articles that fall under this task-force's "jurisdiction", and I wanted to invite you to join! If you're interested, I'd like to invite you to become a full member; please note that the difficult requirements for membership are going to be lowered in the near future, so you can join worry-free (I know they scared me away on the first try.). You can also become just a "supporter", if that's more your speed.

Head on over to the project page if you're interested -- and no hard feelings if you're not. Thanks again in advance, and feel free to contact me on my Talk page. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 04:58, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Crown of Ptolemy edit

Hi there Methychroma. I just went and briefly looked over your draft of the "Crown of Ptolemy" article WP:PJTF has been working towards, and since there's such a large backlog on articles for review, I wanted to give you some advice so it passes quickly and easily on the first try.

  1. You might want to remove the second "references" section.
  2. If you can find any other references and double-check that all your references meet Wikipedia's citation guidelines, that would be really great. Citing the short story itself could also be good; Easy Bib could help if you don't actually own a copy.
  3. The category "2015 short stories" does not exist; it could be an idea to remove that category from the draft (very minor though). Also make sure the page is categorized somehow under Rick Riordan. Check out [Category:Rick Riordan] to see how similar articles have been done.
  4. See if you can get the plot section shortened at all, and made more general so outsiders who do not know the series can understand it more easily.
  5. Put more wikilinks in the plot section -- and make sure the page is well-linked to pages like The Kane Chronicles#Main characters and applicable Percy Jackson pages.
  6. See if you can get a picture of the "cover" uploaded and put into the article.
  7. There may also be a Rick Riordan interview or some such that could provide you with info to make a section about the story's production or some online reviews for reception. Try Kirkus, Common Sense Media, and here. This is actually the most important suggestion I have, because the notability that comes from a novel's real-world reception is most important for an article under review.

I'm sure you've already done most of these things, but I just wanted to help you catch anything you did miss. Good luck, and in case I forgot to say, it looks really great! 2ReinreB2 (talk) 02:29, 16 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Thank you. I've got a picture of the cover, but I'm pretty sure it's under copyright. Can I use it anyway somehow? Methychroma (talk) 18:13, 16 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
    • Yes. particularly if you yourself took the picture. In any case, you can use the same fair use rationale as logos have: it is used to identify the company, and will be used as infrequently as possible on Wikipedia. Check out the images of other book covers if you'd like some more concrete advice on how to do it. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 03:20, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
      • I'll upload the picture. And, since this draft was declined, I'm going to have to find something on the impact this book made in order to demonstrate notability, it looks like. Methychroma (talk) 14:21, 17 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
        • @Methychroma -- Just finished my contributions to the page. Proofread the plot section one last time, get that cover image ready to upload, and hit that resubmit button! My fingers are crossed for you. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 22:52, 11 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
          • I've resubmitted. Thanks. Methychroma (talk) 04:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
            • @Methychroma Okay, I'm not 100% sure what finally changed the reviewer's mind, but your draft passed! Congratulations! -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 22:42, 1 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
              • I don't know, either, but whatever. It's good that this notable work now has a page. Methychroma (talk) 23:36, 1 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hope the userboxes are working for you edit

Hey there, Methychroma. Just wanted to say thanks for implementing the new userboxes and hope everything's going fine. I noticed that your userpage got accidentally added to Category:WikiProject user templates, so I changed the userbox-culprit so it won't do that anymore. The change didn't seem to be taking effect on your page (though it worked in my sandbox), so I made a blank edit to your userpage to make suer something didn't go wrong. (Clicked "Edit", but didn't change anything before clicking "Save".) Sorry! Anyway, happy editing. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 00:24, 25 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Draft being deleted edit

Hey there, Methychroma. Wanted to let you know that I have nominated Draft:The Hidden Oracle for speedy deletion so you're not caught off-guard if and when it is gone. Another user came along and created The Hidden Oracle mainspace article, mainly by copying and building off what your draft already contained. Because they didn't go through WP:AfC, this left your draft an orphan of purpose (which is a nice way of saying it's not needed anymore). I've nominated it for deletion so that RRTF members know to go straight to the mainspace article. Thank you so much for starting that draft way back when, and for everything else you've done to help it along! As always, your help is welcomed and greatly appreciated.
