Just thought I would inform you that I re-added Islam because the point of the review is to discuss the repeated protection of the article due to disputes which means that we are reviewing the instability of the article. Please keep Islam on the list until the review is complete Alexfusco5 03:01, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Joelr31, I edited the Puerto Rico page and added the gallery to the Administrative divisions. Compared to State articles which many of them contain a table gallery of their important cities, Puerto Rico's is extremely dry and and pretty much only text. I would still like to add a similar feature to the article whether it be in administrative, geography or what have you, but get back to me so that we can collaborate before anymore of my editing gets simply just removed, because it takes time to search picture's correct names and place them into the table. 192.195.66.48 (talk) 18:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Joel. I begged a few people to comment on that one and got nothing. It was bothering me. Once the reviews get passed two months, something must be done with them. Marskell (talk) 08:53, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! I've been trying to get those last few pesky citations for ages! Now I can start thinking about getting the article promoted. You're a prince. :-) Serendipodous 20:41, 27 January 2008 (UTC) |
Hey Joel. Next time you log-in and look at FAR, I'd argue against closing Blackface, even if you see removes as the most recent comments. I'm trying to be fair, because I know there's editors working. There's also been some dispute, so I'd like that to work itself out, even if it takes time. Cheers, Marskell (talk) 21:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Because you were so generous last time, but I was wondering if you could help me access this paper. I just need to know if Herschel ever calls Enceladus and Mimas anything other than "satellites". I understand if you're too busy but I really would appreciate it. Thank you. Serendipodous 19:57, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Joelr31, maybe we can find a reference to support the plenary powers of the US Congress and the quotation stating "postal system, social security, and mining activities and minerals, among other areas". Do you know what authoritative and reliable source this can be attribited to? CallmeDrNo (talk) 21:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
This article cites no references, so its encyclopedic value is significantly diminished. Do you know of any sources for the claims made, or the references for the dates given? Maybe you could help me improve it if you know of them. I believe with a little research I could find one or two credible references for the dates given, but not for all the other claims made. Let me know. CallmeDrNo (talk) 23:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Hard one! We've both been very generous on FAR, and "as much time as you need" has become a central feature of the place. But you have to close them eventually... Too bad, in this case. Marskell (talk) 22:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
The article achieved featured article status with only three positive supporters. When it surfaced on the Main Page, it wasn't just me who doubted that it was up to the standard of a featured article. Much discussion has taken place on its talk page and at the Village Pump as to how this aberration could have happened. A review of the status of the article seems to me to be the best way to restore the standard rather than passively hoping that users will post comments on its talk page. Even if there were 100 adverse comments on the talk page, it would still be a featured article. I know it is embarrassing for an article to be reviewed so soon after its appearance on the main page but the issue shouldn't be ducked for that reason. JMcC (talk) 14:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I am at a complete loss as to why this FAR was closed without making the article a featured article removal candidate. Notwithstanding that the FAR turned into a slugfest, the article has serious issues in that it's manifestly unstable, in dire need of cleanup (see SandyGeorgia's edits at the end), and has needed frequent protection. This should not be a featured article and I would urge you to reconsider. Stifle (talk) 14:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I see Stifle has now re-added the FAR to articlehistory, causing it to appear in the error category, and going against consensus. Stifle stated that he was initially a neutral, uninvolved party; is that still the case ? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
It didn't seem important at first, but now I think it would be better if Wikipedia:Featured article review/Barack Obama/archive3 were included in the Talk:Barack Obama ((ArticleHistory)). This week at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago)/1 we have had debates about instability and everyone is looking for established precedents. Obviously, the most famously dynamic page right now is Barack Obama. It would be better for the paper trail permanent record if his article history was all-inclusive. Please reply at my talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:33, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'm still in the middle of a merger between the current content and more material, but the format will need to be clean when its done. By the way, do you know which book its being referenced as Forshaw, we will need to add more fields to the footnotes including author, chapter, publisher and isbn. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey Joel, I need some of your technical help again, I just moved "Category:FL-class Puerto Rico articles" to Category:FL-Class Puerto Rico articles" since the assessment template wasn't recognizing the title with "c" instead of "C" however the template in the articles are still recognizing the former title, the template format will need to be tweaked a bit. - Caribbean~H.Q. 17:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

You closed the Ronald Reagan FAR with the comment, "if you wish to reopen this FAR state your reasons." The first line said, "This article has problems on 1b and 1d (not neutral and comprehensive)." No one explained why the FAR was closed, except to say that FARs shouldn't be used if the article isn't neutral and comprehensive, which I didn't understand. I'm just curious, since I like reasons for things.Jimmuldrow (talk) 03:17, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I unilaterally moved the Mark Felt FAR to FARC, but I had left a message with Raul and he didn't bother answering until much later (after I made the move), and I didn't really feel like chasing people all over the place for something I thought was pretty simple.

Hello, Joelr31. This is the fifth issue of WikiProject Puerto Rico's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members to keep up with the latest news relating to the project. I will continue Eddie's format and willingness to include new material by request. As he once said, please help with the newsletter by suggesting content to be included on the newsletter by leaving a message on my talk page. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:17, 29 August 2008 (UTC) | |
Saludos to all, I present to you the new version of our project's Newsletter. It has been almost a year since the last edition, but rest assured that we haven't been lazy. Our Good Article count has raised by 11, while we have produced two Featured Lists and two Featured Articles. I will tweak the delivery format, from now on the Newsletter will be delivered per season. That means four anual editions, one for summer, fall, winter and spring. Speaking of summer, it has been a hot one, make sure to check out the project news below. I will also introduce a new section titled "Puerto Rican Highlight" where we will comment about positive accomplishments reached by Puerto Ricans and our representative organizations. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:17, 29 August 2008 (UTC) |

At WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles, we recently did a purge of the members list, which your name was on. Please re-add your username as well as your area of expertise at our list of participants if you plan to stay active in this Wikiproject. Also, a discussion is going on regarding the standardization of taxonomy in lizard articles, located in this section. We'd like to have some more voices in this matter. Thanks everyone! bibliomaniac15 23:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi Joel. We have an odd situation at FAC. Samuel Johnson has been up for some time; because Sandy is a co-nominator, she is not going to close it despite the overwhelming support consensus. Raul appears to be missing in action; he hasn't closed it despite numerous pleas on his talk page. And I have voted and probably shouldn't close it. That leaves you as the only "delegate". There is a thread open at here. Marskell (talk) 16:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Joel. I will not be able to monitor FAR as closely as usual. To avoid repeating myself, I'll just point you here where you can comment.
I hope all is well. Marskell (talk) 15:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Joelito, are you planning to segment some FARs and move them to FARC? Or were you thinking we should appoint another person? (No feedback from Raul so far.) Ten of the 13 FARs have been up longer than two weeks. Also, Marskell used to like to do the month-end archive closeout at Wikipedia:Featured article review/archive himself; would you like for me to do that for you when I close out the FAC archives and update WP:FAS? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 07:56, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
At less than two days running, Wikipedia:Featured article review/Kingdom of Mysore hit more than 71KB, and it's fairly unintelligible. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:25, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Much better now :-) Joelito, after some discussion with Marskell (I assume you've seen his page), I was going to e-mail Raul to propose adding a roving clerk to help out with the sort of things I used to do at FAR, and provide some help at FAC as well. The tough aspect of that is to not lose the few people that are so actively engaged in reviewing/improving at FAC/FAR, while giving us a hand with the day-to-day work. Would it be OK with you if I make a proposal to Raul for a roving addition, or do you feel that you won't need help at FAR? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:55, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I have a question regarding rules pertaining to name changes to a sub-article during FAR of main article. Here in this article, I had attached a sub-article called Kannada literature in the Kingdom of Mysore. As the article had expanded to include some Kannada language poets and writers from a larger area in the last few days (outside Mysore kingdom), I moved the sub-article to a new name which was more inclusve, which is Kannada literature, 1600–1900 CE and nominated for Peer Review. I meant to change the sub-article link in this FA article to reflect the name change sometime today. Fowler &fowler, the nominator of the FAR, promptly revrted the move calling it a controversial, though I am not sure what the controversy with the sub-article is. Please advice how to proceed. Is there a rule that a sub-article's name should not change when the main article is in FAR? If so, does it mean that all sub-articles remain frozen when a FAR of a main article is in progress?Dineshkannambadi (talk) 22:07, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Epa, Joelito, a reminder to add and remove it at WP:FFA and WP:FA. (No word from Raul on staffing questions yet.) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:13, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
(moved off User talk:SandyGeorgia#Seattle FAR)
I am closely monitoring FARs in the review stage and I am giving them enough time to work out the concerns brought up without the need for FARC. I will probably move the Seattle FAR to FARC soon since little action has taken place. Joelito (talk) 22:43, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Dear Joelr31
On Thursday, you removed the FAR discussion of First Crusade from the FAR page: [1]. I just thought I should let you know that the discussion itself is still open, and the article itself is still registered as FA-class. I'd sort out these outstanding issues, but I'm not sure how to do it. Any chance you could look into it? Terrakyte (talk) 20:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. The FAR nominator, Fowler removed some content containing genuine concerns of mine about he FAR and moved it to the talk page. I have reverted that edit because I feel you should decide what should be in and what should be out. He has reverted me. Please look into this.

(copied from Sandy's talk page, since she said I needed to talk to you) Hi Sandy (Joel), I'm swamped so this is short and sweet... This is a borderline frivolous FAR. The complaint of incomplete is not supported by the specific points, as they reflect either a complete lack of careful reading on the part of the nom'er (see my comment 1) or a lack of apparent knowledge of how wikipedia works (see my comment 2). Any way to speedy end this one? Edhubbard (talk) 01:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
