San Antonio Bay DYK
editI responded to your comment at the DYK page. --William S. Saturn (talk) 04:09, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Please check the article Periyachi, I have copyedited it. --Redtigerxyz Talk 15:45, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- I copyedited it now. So please check if there are missing words or typos as before. The text is not exceptional, but now sticks to grammar IMO. --Redtigerxyz Talk 15:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks. --Redtigerxyz Talk 16:17, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thx. --Redtigerxyz Talk 15:01, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

DYK nominee Protestant church of Jistrum
editI added an ALT 4 hope it is not to late to approve it. ... that in one week of 1581 in Friesland, iconoclasts stripped the Catholic church of Jistrum, changing it to a Protestant church (pictured) Pindanl (talk) 20:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps this one is better:
- ALT6... that the Protestant church of Jistrum in Friesland was prior to 1581 a Catholic church, when in one week it was stripped by iconoclasts. Pindanl (talk) 15:57, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Your Triple DYK hook concerns
editI have replied at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Norm_Nelson.2C_USAC_Stock_Car.2C_Las_Vegas_Park_Speedway. Royalbroil 22:36, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Bradford City Hall
editI note you've created this article. Do you live in/near Bradford, as there is a memorial window to Barbara Jane Harrison in the building. It would be nice to have a photo to use in that article. Mjroots (talk) 17:52, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. I've removed the bit about Bradford City Hall from the article for now, pending clarification and evidence as to the form of the memorial. Suitable notes can be added to the article once this is clear. Mjroots (talk) 12:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Hanby
editWhen I linked to the reference it said that the site at Hanby was one of two candidates for the DMV found in documentation. If more is now known, then by all means update it. I'm not very interested in DYKs, I've just been tidying up stubs near where I live. Thanks. --Brunnian (talk) 13:03, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
DYK for Ilkley Toy Museum
editSuccess!
editI have found a source connecting Neuromance to its original title of "New Breed of Digital Fuckers"!!! With this bio page in addition to the other two sources, this seems sufficient to accept it for DYK. This source even states they changed the name in June 2005. Thanks for your help by the way, any challenge surely makes wikipedia better as a result. (I doubt that source would ever have been found if you didn't press me to find it) GroundZ3R0 002 03:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Cliffe Castle Museum
editBarnstar thank you
editThank you for awarding me the Teamwork Barnstar. I greatly appreciate it, especially considering how we met under very unfortunate circumstances. I rarely get wound up tight like I was then. I don't understand why Halifax Town Hall didn't make the cut - it had brilliant hook that should have made sense internationally! The last two years everyone kept telling me that I was "in charge" of April Fool's Day DYKs. I just don't have the time to be as involved in Wikipedia like I was because I work full-time now. I see no shortage of articles to work on; I see plenty of topics in real life. Cheers! Royalbroil 11:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
I also want to send a giant THANKS to you as well for the barnstar. It is only the second one i have ever received, and the first true barnstar. I stepped in this year when i noticed there wear a ton of unverified hooks needing attention, and boy was it alot of work... i do not envy Royalbroil for all the amazing work he put in over the past few years on it! Thanks again!--Found5dollar (talk) 13:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks
editFor the timely intervention/intercept in the 'Brigowse' saga! ;) It saved me from going down the 'Yoze-might' vs 'Yo-semmitty' route, to explain the value of local knowledge Vs tourist assumption. :) Richard Harvey (talk) 21:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- No worries. You enjoy your Easter holiday, and I'll happily bore the socks off the Brighouse mob. What is it about Brighouse that they'll even come all the way from the US to poke about with the article. Enjoy your break, and forget about it all for a few days!--Storye book (talk) 22:06, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks
editThank you for kindly recommending that I attempt my first application for a GA article status. Bramhope Tunnel has just passed. It works!--Storye book (talk) 10:18, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- Congratulations!
- I'm really glad to see that worked out well. Seeing the amount of effort you put in each article i figured that it wouldn't receive any (Really) strong criticism or a quick-fail, but this went even better then even i anticipated. I see you already found the "X amount of Good article's" infobox so i can tell nothing new there, but perhaps you would like one display of these as well:
- <div style="position:absolute; z-index:100; right:40px; top:0px;" class="metadata"> {| style="background-color:transparent;border: 0px" |- |{{click|link=Bramhope Tunnel|image=Reformed GA Symbol.png|width=15|height=15|title=Bramhope Tunnel}} |- |} </div>
- I am not sure what it is called among GA/FA authors, but it adds a small symbol with a link on top of your userpage (See User:NancyHeise for example. I modified hers to fit your GA article. Note that it looks like garbled text without displaying anything because i added some Nowiki tags to keep it from displaying on my own page. If you feel like adding it, all you have to do is go into edit mode and copy the code (Without the two Wiki tags) and add it to your page. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 10:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Unfriendly unregistered user
editThis unregistered user has been editing arrogantly, then leaving arrogant summaries to match. He/she recently got at Halifax Town Hall and tried clumsily to copy-edit things he/she doesn't understand - probably not realising that this is Halifax, England and not Halifax U.S. Might be worth just putting this IP on the list to keep an eye on.--Storye book (talk) 00:12, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- It seems that the edits were being made in good faith, but indeed - those edit summaries aren't exactly helpful nor friendly. It may well be that this user is an experienced editor who doesn't register / use an account on purpose, as in these cases history can be easily tracked (And so can incivility). By using an IP he or she can edit the way he/she likes without worrying about incivility warnings and the like. It is likely though that this user will not be on this IP for a very long time - only the 4 most expensive AT&T connections offer static IP's, whereas the rest of the subscriptions allocate them dynamically. It might be useful to keep an eye on it though, if only to drop a note on the edit summaries if this continues. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 10:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Brighouse
editFunny how they keep trying, it must have a magnetic attraction to some. This one was a little more complex than usual. See:- Advice Please]. Congrats on your GA for Bramhope Tunnel. I've 'GA Tagged' your user page! ;) Richard Harvey (talk) 11:33, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of City of Canterbury budget 2010−2011
editI have nominated City of Canterbury budget 2010−2011, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/City of Canterbury budget 2010−2011. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. GTD 14:12, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Though this was deleted, I've userfied it for you at User:Storye book/Canterbury Budget so you can take from it what you wish. Thanks, Black Kite (t) (c) 00:55, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

St. Louis' Church
editThanks for the note and for the comment on the picture; I just realised that I need to run, so I'll fix the problem later this evening. Nyttend (talk) 21:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- I've corrected the problem. The issue was that (1) I misread the source, and (2) I forgot to place the citation to ref name=inventory after the hook statement. I've added the source and corrected the text accordingly. As a matter of fact, the statement is true; if you're interested, look at the images in Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches and you'll see the difference between this church and the others.

editWell done
editThe 25 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal | ||
OK, I have pictured that you would achieve 25 with your focus. After five years on the project, I guess you have learnt how to keep calm. I've read some of the articles... but I hadn't seen that you had created so many pictures. Anyway this is for your DYK contributions. Thanks from me and the wiki... 50?
