A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	You turned a small uninteresting article into a meaningful informative Wikipedia page. Your work has helped many learn more about Caswell County and North Carolina. Thank you for your great work! DiscoA340 (talk) 21:38, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

About Caswell County

Hello,

I hope this finds you well. I am contacting you as I would like to nominate the page "Caswell County, North Carolina" as a Good Article. All the information about it can be found on this page. It's totally your choice about nomination as you are the main editor of the article. I believe the article excels in quality which is why I want to nominate it. Please feel free to contact me in my talk page if you have any questions about it. Thanks! DiscoA340 (talk) 17:49, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm glad to help, I have nominated the article and now is being reviewed. When they start reviewing the article they will create a page with information about it (It's not made yet but I will send it to when it is, for now here is the nomination in the Talk Section of the article). In that page, they will likely have some things they would like to be changed in the article (Don't feel bad if they do, their job is to make sure Articles are "Good Articles" as it is one of the highest honor that Wikipedia gives for Wiki pages). If you need help with anything they ask, just contact me again in my Talk page. DiscoA340 (talk) 20:15, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Looking at the article. I would try to focus more on finding Citations for bullet points in the sections of "Arts and culture" and "Parks and recreation". The only things I would cite is the webpage for each park or museum, just to prove that they do exist. Other than that, everything else looks good. DiscoA340 (talk) 14:51, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Honestly, I think the article is ready, there doesn't seem to be much to change in it. DiscoA340 (talk) 15:27, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Ok sounds good thanks 👍 Peabodyb (talk) 20:33, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

I was just wondering if you wanted to submit "Yanceyville, North Carolina" for Good Article Status? DiscoA340 (talk) 18:44, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Yeah that would be great. It's good to get feedback and to collaborate. Cheers :) Peabodyb (talk) 19:18, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Sounds good. DiscoA340 (talk) 22:33, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

I should tell you that it can take a little bit for a review to begin. I would allow for about 2-3 months for it to begin, but it can always be faster. So it's up to you if want to continue to edit both pages or work on another page while waiting. You can track when the reviewing has begun when the pages below have a blue link. It will also be where the recommendations will be if they have any. Thanks again!

Caswell County Review Page

Yanceyville Review Page

Thanks again! DiscoA340 (talk) 18:00, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Ok sounds good. I will check up on it down the road. Peabodyb (talk) 18:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

One more thing that might be helpful. This is what a GA review page usually looks like. DiscoA340 (talk) 18:25, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! Peabodyb (talk) 20:32, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

The review process has begun for Yanceyville. DiscoA340 (talk) 07:13, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Something else to add, when fixing the issues that the reviewer has brought up, it is a good idea to write "complete" or "done" underneath the comment so they know it is fixed. If you have any questions, you should contact the reviewer but I can still help with other questions you might have. Also, here is the GA Review message I recieved in my talk page, I got it since I was the one to nominate the article. DiscoA340 (talk) 18:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks 😊 Peabodyb (talk) 08:11, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

It seems that the reviewer is complete with the first check of the page. I was able fix a few issues and lucky the others are quiet easy to fix. If it's any help, I can list them below.

• The introduction paragaph is too short, it seems a good size intro would be like this one "Wake County, North Carolina"
• The climate section needs expansion (Adding Köppen climate classification and what the general weather patterns for the city should do it)
• A final check to make sure there is no origional research and sources are realiable

There seems to be nothing else of issue, great job with the article! DiscoA340 (talk) 18:05, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. If you would like to finish it up, I can brush it up. I am not sure what to add for the town that wasn't already stated in the article. If you can take a shot at it, I will come in and edit it out. Thanks Peabodyb (talk) 23:59, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your efforts. It was great. I brushed it up as best I could. I just need one source for the following. If you can add the reference after it, this would be great. "Interstate 785 will become the closest interstate highway to Yanceyville at approximately 16 miles (25.7 km) when completed in the late 2020s." I know up near Pelham it will be this distance as the on ramp to US 29 is now. But can you possibly insert a reference as to this statement? Thanks so much. As far as an intro to Caswell County that is similar, we haven't gotten that feedback as yet so perhaps that could be left alone for now unless you feel inspired to add an intro. If so, just let me know and I will go through it as well. Thanks again :) Peabodyb (talk) 11:25, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

• I found a source for I-785, no worries. I think the page is all set. Peabodyb (talk) 16:41, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

  I just alerted the reviewer about fixing the issues, everthing should be good now. I was also wondering if you knew of any notable weather events for the town becuase it wouldn't hurt to have a few? Thanks! DiscoA340 (talk) 17:47, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Great thanks very much! I added it. Peabodyb (talk) 00:55, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

The reviewer has reccomended removing one or two of the airports in the list that aren't as important as the others. I just wanted to run that by you and if so, which ones to remove. It is not required for GA status and it doesn't have to be done if you don't want to. Thanks! DiscoA340 (talk) 19:58, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Which one would you recommend? Peabodyb (talk) 01:07, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

I would definitly say Danville as it's not in NC, and maybe Alamace too. DiscoA340 (talk) 08:19, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. If one could go only I think Person County because it's not as vital arguably. Danville is closer. Burlington is a bigger area. Peabodyb (talk) 09:47, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

• I'll leave it up to you though. I think removing one is ok. Peabodyb (talk) 09:49, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

  I removed Danville Regional only, I'll keep you posted on the review process. Have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 11:38, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Sounds good thanks 👍 Peabodyb (talk) 17:15, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, could you possibly make the logo a little bigger? It's a little blurry on my phone. Thanks 😊 Peabodyb (talk) 16:03, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

• For Yanceyville, if you added census information, that website has inaccurate information. Only info sourced directly from Census.gov should be there. Please remove the info, if you edited it or find the info on Census.gov to confirma its accuracy. Thanks Peabodyb (talk) 17:09, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

• confirm Peabodyb (talk) 17:10, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

... For example, the website has erroneous information on the population of Yanceyville. Nothing there is authoritative to meet Wikipedia standards in my view. Whatever you can find in its place on the Census.gov website will be trustworthy. Thanks again Peabodyb (talk) 17:33, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Sadly, Census.gov does not have a direct page for Yanceyville and the town is quiet hard to find info for. Usually I use this site for County statistics like for Caswell County. I'm leaving it up to you if you want to keep the info there or not. For future reference, mentioning a user like this @Peabodyb will alert them to a comment or notice you made, I was just eye balling when you would respond. The mention button is to the right of the link icon and my username should already be in the dropdown. Thanks and have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 04:49, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

The Caswell County GA review has begun. DiscoA340 (talk) 15:21, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Sounds good. It's been extinsively edited. Let's see what happens thanks Peabodyb (talk) 16:12, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry to say but the GA Review on Yanceyville was declined, the second reviewer left these notes on Talk:Yanceyville, North Carolina/GA1#Second review if you would like to address them or not. The Caswell County review is still going on but seems to be in Limbo, for now, but the Yanceyville review failed, sorry about that, have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 01:29, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

The review for Caswell County has started again, Have a good day! DiscoA340 (talk) 21:25, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts. A lot of useful information with live links is there for people to navigate through. Nothing is perfect but considering everything it is in a much better place than before. Peabodyb (talk) 17:00, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for all your great work on both Caswell and Yanceyville pages. Don't let it get you down about the GA nominations, your work has definitely helped to improve both pages. If wish to continue on the path to GA status, the comments on the review pages would be a good place to start. Though I would recommend that you keep both pages as they are. Thanks again for your great work, have a great day!

P.S. You deserve the barnstar above! DiscoA340 (talk) 21:53, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. I have already addressed the citation issues. As far as other issues, I have no plans to modify anything other than updates that I hear about. I think it's good to have pushed it further along and maybe someone else will come along as well to add things as they see fit after reading the feedback in the future.
