Thank you for getting back to me on my Hallock Hill (musician) entry. I have simplified the entry, removed unnecessary headers and improved the citations. I hope!

- Hi there and welcome to Wikipedia. You have a very good article submission, but what you need is many more citations from trusted sources. Plus, you lack a good outline.. Then just go ahead and submit or review again. Thank you.. --The Herald : here I am 13:09, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I think you need to work on it extensively to bring it upto GA quality. I am basically looking for an expansion. Left comments on the GA review page, I will review again around 26/27 Dec. Let me know if you require more time. --AmritasyaPutraT 10:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Help, please?
I created a new article in my sandbox - North American Piedmontese cattle. When I finished editing, I clicked on move in the menu bar, and published it as a main space article. Not sure what I did wrong, but it created a redirect that shows up under the article class - (Redirected from User:Atsme/sandbox). See the following diff [5] which further shows it as a redirect from the previous article I created on Gabor B. Racz. Wow - have no idea how to fix this. I already nominated it for DYK. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Atsme☯Consult 00:02, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Using font tags in your signature
Hello there! I'm working on a project trying to bring most of the coding on Wikipedia up to the most current standards (HTML5), and I noticed that your signature is using <font>...</font> tags which were deprecated in HTML 4.0 Transitional, marked as invalid in 4.0 Strict, and are not part of HTML5 at all. I'd love to help you update your signature to use newer code, and if you're interested, I suggest replacing:
<font style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0em 0em 0.8em,#FF4500 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#90EE90 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;color:#696969">[[User:The Herald|'''The Herald''']] : [[User talk:The Herald|''here I am'']]</font>
with:
<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0em 0em 0.8em,#FF4500 -0.8em -0.8em 0.9em,#90EE90 0.7em 0.7em 0.8em;color:#696969">[[User:The Herald|'''The Herald''']] : [[User talk:The Herald|''here I am'']]</span>
which will result in a 219 character long signature with an appearance of: The Herald : here I amcompared to your existing 219 character long signature of: The Herald : here I am — Either way. Happy editing! Darylgolden(talk) 02:11, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2015 launch newsletter
Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.
Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

The one you chosed were scans from art books, you know. Hafspajen (talk) 15:02, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Hmm..So we can go with these five guys..right? Methink to ping Chris to this..The Herald : here I am 15:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Still hunting a bit, -but OK. Hafspajen (talk) 15:33, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
Not ready yet. This could be nice to have too... File:Vincent van Gogh - The yellow house (`The street') - Google Art Project.jpg - maybe separate. If we have Adam and Crico too ... we could start with a four co-nom... if it is possible. 
Hafspajen (talk) 15:11, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Why four? Pass the threshold by adding Sca or Pine. This was that which I had in my mind. A five co-nominators....Yeh, there must be someone to close it to. but the house won't work as it will not be a set with wheat fields....The Herald : here I am 15:17, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Then.....ping them...?--The Herald : here I am 15:27, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Quite impressive, eh? Hafspajen (ta|Armbrust}}lk) 15

- @Crisco 1492:, @Pine:, @Adam Cuerden:, {{ping, @Sca:..Hey guys check this out for a combined co-nom..It all began here..--The Herald : here I am 15:54, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- A little warning, none of them is used but one. I guess we have to run over that article and change files, and add. Hafspajen (talk) 16:01, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Or if somebody is messing around, start a new one with a theme - like ... Van Gogh's brusstrokes in weatfields...Hafspajen (talk) 16:04, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Better to mend the existing one... BTW it is you who is messing up my talk page.LOL ...--The Herald : here I am 16:07, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Crisco 1492 .... what do you say?+ and all the rest? Crisco, shall we remove any? Hafspajen (talk) 21:05, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- Crisco 1492 ? Hafspajen (talk) 10:56, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Crisco 1492 ? Hafspajen (talk) 19:55, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
...
- So...shall we wait for all or go and create the nom-page Hafs? We must give a cool title to the nom-page...--The Herald : here I am 12:02, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- Here you go.
- Paintings of series of wheat-fields and related topics from in the article in -Wheat Fields (Van Gogh series). All paintings are figuring in the article. ... Hafspajen (talk) 16:40, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- A series of 17 paintings from the renowned Dutch painter, van Gogh. Van Gogh's brushstrokes in staccato are especially suited to depict the straws of the wheat field, giving them a special look and life.... Hafspajen (talk) 16:44, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
- Well, it was Herald's idea, the giant co-nom and the pics. So - I guess Herald makes the nomination, copy and paste my description above, + my signature :*Support as co-nom. Hafspajen (talk) 16:40, 13 January 2015 (UTC) (Copy and paste), pings you and Corinne and you sigh too like this and Herald adds it to the cue. Simple. And also Adam Cuerden signs it too, he was invited. Like in the good old days. Hafspajen (talk) 04:06, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
:::Hey Hafs, it would be kind if u can make the nom-page. I would be free before tomorrow evening...Plus I'll add some trifles to it later...--The Herald : here I am 05:58, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Review - article ready for publication
Hi there. I have had a look at the Draft:Agenda (think tank). I have tried to streamline it a bit, and wikified sources and references. I have left a message at the talk page of the draft. May you have a look and possibly revise the review? Cordial greetings, Bjoertvedt (talk) 20:10, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Mentor, oh Mentor.....
I need help regarding a proposal for deletion. I originally added a speedy delete template (TP discussion gave numerous reasons for deletion). The editor who originally wanted to delete the page is now contesting deletion, and removed the template for no valid reason. I put a Request for Deletion template back on the page. Another editor shows up and removes it. I reverted. On the TP section there is a discussion about the delete request. If another or same editor removes the template again, what is the correct procedure to follow? I found the guidelines ambiguous and unclear. Atsme☯Consult 14:47, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Atsme:..I see that its removed now. Don't get into an edit war now. So don't revert it and let it be as free. I'll go through the issue. - The Herald (here I am) 15:00, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Atsme: Well. Its a good issue. The article was created in 2006, so nine years old. CSD A1 says Articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article which it certainly does. But IMO, I would prefer a wp:AfD and then contesting it and voting as Delete. You have a good reason to delete it but I can't say whether you will gain a concensus for deletion. They at AfD will prefer to keep it by improving or merging the nine-year-old article. Thats called as respect-to-a-Wikipedia-article. How now? Still feeling you can go,read these and proceed. But I still would prefer an improvement (if trusted cites are available) and then only AfD (but certainly not speedy deletion). - The Herald (here I am) 15:13, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Another question: WP:Articles for deletion instructs us to add the article proposed to the list there, and also add the template "subst:AFD|subpage name" to the top of the article. The problem is that they keep removing the template I add. Do I still list the article under today's date? If not, how am I supposed to begin a discussion for removal? Atsme☯Consult 16:29, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- PS - got it fixed. An editor helped at AfD. Atsme☯Consult 19:30, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- Good job.. - The Herald (here I am) 13:06, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
