Do you have further information on Mary Plantagenet, a daughter of Edward I of England. I have asked the Reference Desk this question today and perhaps you could give some input there if you have more information on her as your name was brought up there. Maybe you could write an article on her. Can you find information on how close she was to her sisters and brothers, especially Margaret and Elizabeth. --97.83.106.45 (talk) 18:41, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For Mary you can start by looking at Prestwich's biography of Edward I, which is actually partly available online on Amazon (look especially at page 128.) This will also direct you to a couple of other sources; Green's Lives of the princesses of England (on Google books, page 405) and Fairbank's YAJ article on the earl of Warenne. These can be hard to come by though, if you don't have access to a good research library. If you can find these, I think you should have enough to create an article. For how close she was to her sisters and brothers we can only make assumptions, since we have very little personal documents from the period. Since she left the household at five to become a nun, I would guess not very close, though she did apparently return quite often. It should be said though, that both Margaret and Elizabeth left the country to marry, in 1290 and 1297 respectively, and probably did not return often after this.

Hello, you began a GA reassessment in June at Talk:Johnny Appleseed/GA1. That review is still open, I was curious if you could review it and close it. Personally I agree the article does not currently meet the criteria in its present condition. —Charles Edward ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 00:22, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lampman! I've updated the article from your GA review suggestions. The only stumbling block I think will be how to title Hard Boiled/Hard-Boiled. Thanks for taking the time to write a review (and do some copy-editing) on the article! Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:49, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That news story on the drunk in the recliner cracked me up when it came out. I moved the article to Motorized recliner incident without a redirect since "incidence" would have made it improbable. Thanks for the renewed chuckle.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:32, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lampman, I just assumed that you had stuck the label there without reading the section. I fail to see why the section needs such as label when the first paragraph is about the United Nations, the fourth subsection is about the European Union and the fifth subsection is about multinational corporations and GATT and the final one is about outsourcing and specifically mentions the UK.

No permission, informal or formal, justifies copy/pasting information from an external side to wikipedia, thus copyvio was good enough reason to delete those pages, but. I did see the COI argument and your comment on that, thus the reasoning for deletion and blocking is manyfold (notability is also dubious). The editor may well be unblocked, as they did not intend any harm, but the created article content, at least in its form, may not stay. Materialscientist (talk) 07:46, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 90% done with only 226 articles remain to be swept! As always, I want to thank you for using your time to ensure the quality of the older GAs. With over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 4 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. As an added incentive, if we complete over 100 articles reviewed this month, I will donate $100 to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps participants. I hope that this incentive will help to increase our motivation for completing Sweeps while supporting Wikipedia in the process. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 00:10, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I saw your comment here, posted on 31 December, and was trying to work out which "poor TFA" you were referring to. I think you mean Italian War of 1521–1526 and the 70-year-old source is the Hackett book. I was going to post at Talk:Italian War of 1521–1526, but came here first to suggest that you could post there suggesting that the Knecht source should have been used more.

Hello Lampman! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 1,554 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the ((unreferencedBLP)) tag. Here is the list:

1. Michael Hicks - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks to everyone's efforts to the GA Sweeps process, we are currently over 95% done with around 130 articles left to be swept! Currently there are over 50 members participating in Sweeps, that averages out to about 3 articles per person! If each member reviews an article once a week this month (or several!), we'll be completely finished. At that point, awards will be handed out to reviewers. Per my message last month, although we did not review 100 articles last month, I still made a donation of $90 (we had 90 reviews completed/initiated) to Wikipedia Forever on behalf of all GA Sweeps reviewers. I would like to thank everyone's efforts for last month, and ask for additional effort this month so we can be finished. I know you have to be sick of seeing these updates (as well as Sweeps itself) by now, so please do consider reviewing a few articles if you haven't reviewed in a while. If you have any questions about reviews or Sweeps let me know and I'll be happy to get back to you.

Thanks to everyone's amazing efforts in February, we have reviewed all of the articles and are now finished with Sweeps! There are still about 30 articles currently on hold, and once those reviews are completed, I will send you a final message about Sweeps process stats including the total number of articles that were passed and failed. If you have one of these open reviews, be sure to update your count when the review is completed so I can compile the stats. You can except to receive your award for reviewing within the next week or two. Although the majority of the editors did not start Sweeps at the beginning in August 2007 (myself included), over 50 editors have all come together to complete a monumental task and improve many articles in the process. I commend you for sticking with this often challenging task and strengthening the integrity of the GA WikiProject as well as the GAs themselves. I invite you to take a break from reviewing (don't want you to burn out!) and then consider returning/starting to review GANs and/or contribute to GAR reviews. With your assistance, we can help bring the backlog down to a manageable level and help inspire more editors to improve articles to higher classes and consider reviewing themselves. Again, thank you for putting up with difficult reviews, unhappy editors, numerous spam messages from me, and taking the time to help with the process, I appreciate your efforts! --Happy editing!

The article Krydder has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable magazine, no assertion of notability, unreferenced for almost four years

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((dated prod)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Rhomb (talk) 22:10, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lampman, I've added a note above to recognise your contribution to FPC. Thank you for closing the nomination, but generally you should avoid doing so on nominations in which you've had close involvement. As the nominator, it is a conflict of interest for you to have made the closure. Someone uninvolved would have come along in a day or so and closed it for you.

Hello, I nominated the article, and only recently became aware that a GA review of it was already in progress. I agree with you about the image, considering that I work primarily with articles that have few available free images, I also find copyright paranoia annoying. Unfortunately, there really isn't much that can be done about it, most of the anti-fair use image crew can't be reasoned with, and I've long since given up trying. I don't think the lack of an image should be the dealbreaker, since it does now meet the image policy (even if we disagree with it). I was wondering if you considered all of the concerns addressed? Currently the article is the one thing standing in the way of the Simpsons project finally achieving one of our earliest goals: getting every classic era article to GA or higher. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:01, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think that I have resolved all of the issues in your GA review. :)--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 18:43, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First off, on behalf of myself and my co-coordinator Wizardman, I would like to thank you for the efforts that you have made so far in this GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a success, and that is thanks to you. See this Signpost article about what this drive has achieved so far. We're currently heading into the final week of the drive. At this time, if you have any GANs on review or on hold, you should be finishing off those reviews. Right now, we have more GANs on review or on hold than we do unreviewed. If you're going to start a GA review, please do so now so you can complete it by the end of the month and so that the nominator has a full 7-day window to address any concerns. See you at the finish!

GAN backlog elimination drives chart up to 1 May On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive. 661 total nominations were reviewed. 541 of them passed (~81.8%), 97 (~14.7%) failed, and 23 (~3.5%) ended on hold. The WP:GAN page started at 110,126 bytes length on 1 April and ended at 43,387 bytes length at the end of 30 April (a 66,739 byte reduction in the page, about 60.6% less). Excluding extremes, the longest wait for someone's GAN to be review was about 11.5 weeks at the beginning. (I mistook the figure when I reported to the Signpost that it was 13.) At the end, with the exception of one that was relisted, the longest wait is now at 10 days. 63 different users participated, each having completed at least one GAN, with others also having helped out behind-the-scenes in making the drive a success. The drive started with 463 GA nominations remaining and 388 unreviewed. At the end of the month, we ended with 89 remaining (374 or about 80.8% less) and 47 unreviewed (341 or about 87.9% less). For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia.

		For reviewing 21 good article nominations during the April 2010 GAN backlog elimination drive, I hereby present you The Good Article Reviewer's Medal of Merit. Congratulations! Wizardman Operation Big Bear 23:18, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Your submission of Edmund FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! BelovedFreak 21:42, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

you moved the talk page of star wars kid, but you didn't move the article page. I have moved the talk page back and left a notice so people know where the text of the article came from. --Enric Naval (talk) 01:44, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at Obama Doctrine, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. (Lihaas (talk) 19:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, you can certainly learn to be WP:Civil, particuraly on a public forum, which doesnt seem to have changed since this edit summary [1]. That is liable for a block should an admin get wind of it.Lihaas (talk) 22:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Good luck with Pilot (Community). I was impressed while reading through it. I made a few minor improvements by removing what appeared to be a couple of typos. You may also want to check out WP:DASH, as I noticed that some dashes were longer than others throughout (even when both dashes seemed to be used for the same purpose). Examples are in the "Cast and characters" section and the one that follows. Also, there were other cases, like the lead, where simple commas seemed like they'd be good enough. Anyway, good luck again. -- James26 (talk) 05:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your name was on the 2nd dramaout signup and the organizer of the 2nd one suggested notifying those who signed up the last time. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Great_Wikipedia_Dramaout/3rd#Participating_Wikipedians

and also a mention on WP:ANI. I would love to have you participate! Remember July 5th, the starting date! Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 15:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are such an experienced GAN and GAR reviewer, and were so kind as to pass Amy Robsart, I wondered if I could ask you to have a look at John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. Perhaps you could give a 3rd opinion at Talk:John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland/GA1, whether the prose is tolerable for a GA or not. The reviewer thought it was too "unencyclopedic" (without specifying), and the 2nd opinion thinks the prose "needs work" in other ways, and that someone uninvolved should fix it. I made changes, but I generally don't understand what is so wrong about it. Anyway, if you want, I'd appreciate your input although I can't tell it will change anything about the deadlock. Thanks. Buchraeumer (talk) 12:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is good hope that the issue is resolved now. I found an editor who was interested and happy to give the article a copy edit. Please pardon my intrusion but I was not aware of this possibility before. Happy editing. Buchraeumer (talk) 21:15, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for GA status, pending your thoughts about a few points I've raised on review. Nothing major, you'll be pleased to hear! Bencherlite^Talk 18:06, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great, passed. It may be that one or two of the changes you or I made could usefully be applied to the other two in the series. I probably won't have time to review them this side of the weekend anyway, but on the assumption that nobody else gets there first, I'll review them early next week. Bencherlite^Talk 08:25, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, did you see the comments? Do you plan addressing the issues? If so, when should I expect the changes? Renata (talk) 04:16, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's been exactly a week. I see you have not made edits for a few days. I am willing to give an extension for another week as I would hate to fail the article for a couple nitpicks. But please do address the issues within the next week. Renata (talk) 23:56, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While the page is old, the article is new to the mainspace of wikipedia. I created and maintained it with my own original work in userspace (check history). I did not nominate it before becuase I felt it failed project guidlelines for notability. I would hate to think that I may not recieve credit for my hard work based on this, which is the opposite of goal of DYK.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 18:52, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added some comments to the nomination concerning this, thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:19, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the consideration. I moved the nomination to July 27, when I myself moved the contents of the sandox.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could you possibly remove the No symbol from your first comment, so nomination appears to be still open for disccusion?--TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:44, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are being contacted because you have in the past participated in the Valued Picture project. The VPC project is suffering from a chronic lack of participation to the point that the project is at an impasse. A discussion is currently taking place about the future of this project and how to revitalize the project and participation. If you're interested in this project or have an idea of how to improve it please stop by and participate in the discussion.

— raekyT 00:16, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed the article and left notes on the talk page. I've put the nomination on hold for seven days to allow the issues to be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page, here, or on the article talk page with any concerns, and let me know one of those places when the issues have been addressed. If I may suggest that you strike out, check mark, or otherwise mark the items I've detailed, that will make it possible for me to see what's been addressed, and you can keep track of what's been done and what still needs to be worked on. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:The Fourth Kind.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 03:25, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I saw that you created Template:Infobox Peer. A few weeks ago someone felt they must replace it out of the blue with Template:Infobox Nobility, which I found dreadful, so I reverted and a discussion ensued at Template talk:Infobox Peer. Now it has flared up again; perhaps you would like to give your opinion there (the word deletion is in the air). Best wishes! Buchraeumer (talk) 23:26, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On 20 September 2010, In the news was updated with a news item that involved the article Swedish general election, 2010, which you substantially updated. If you know of another interesting news item involving a recently created or updated article, then please suggest it on the candidates page.

I've completed the GA review and posted comments here. A very enjoyable article, and I apologise as I realise I've left a lot of comments! However, they are all minor and should be no problem. --Sarastro1 (talk) 19:27, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem with time. Let me know if you need more than a week (and take the week to be from today).--Sarastro1 (talk) 20:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Passed it now. Really good article, and can't be far short of FA. The only minor things I would suggest for that are a quick copy-edit and a little more on homosexuality. And possible a check for MoS, which isn't my strongest point. But really enjoyed it and let me know if you do put it up for FAC. For what it's worth, Mark Ormrod was one of my lecturers back in the days when I was a student! --Sarastro1 (talk) 19:21, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Lampman. I was the editor of the New York Giants history series and took a long break from WIkipedia (over three years) but am now back. I saw that you rightfully delisted the main article from GA status due to the erosion of quality over time. I worked on it and think I addressed your concerns. I renominated it for GA, if you could look at it that would be great. Quadzilla99 (talk) 13:31, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I fixed those two. Whenever you have time is great. Thanks. Quadzilla99 (talk) 13:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The way the script currently works to update WP:GA subpages, the edit summary provides a running count of listed articles as the script processes the various pages. Therefore, the total count of listed articels will appear in the last page updated, which will currently be the /Arts page. The main foreseeable issue will be if there is nothing to update on the /Arts page at the end of the month. I added a couple pages to /Arts without putting them in alphabetical order, so there is something to update this month. I'm not sure of the best solution in general if /Arts has nothing to update; I could try to remember to post a total count to the talk page of WP:GAS, but I might forget. Gimmetoo (talk) 23:04, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lampman. I was a little miffed at your use of a quote from me in your post on the DYK talk. That was a very extreme case of copyvio, whereby the author had contributed an article that consisted of plagiarized text buffered with block quotes. I would not have been so stern if it was minor, but the author really needs to know that this is a problem before contributing anything else to the encyclopedia. Perhaps it was a harsh "welcome" to wikipedia, but this is a major issue. If you wish to quote me to strengthen a point you are making, please examine the context before doing so. Have a good one, The Interior(Talk) 23:12, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, no worries. Full disclosure: I was in a crap mood this morning. The Interior(Talk) 23:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Evening! You've added Harris 1975 volume to the bibliography of Economy of England in the Middle Ages; its a good volume, but its not actually cited in the article at the moment! Were you going to add a reference to it, or could I move it to a "further reading" section? I didn't want to just undo it, because it is a good book on the subject, albeit not one I've personally read. Many thanks! Hchc2009 (talk) 19:19, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, the bibliography's purely driven by the volumes referenced at the moment, although some are articles in books, of course, which inflates the list fractionally! Hchc2009 (talk) 20:42, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be delighted if you did! Hchc2009 (talk) 21:05, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:The_Master_of_Game.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add ((di-replaceable fair use disputed)), without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Garion96 (talk) 19:52, 21 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey what is your opinion on the following issue: Should the word "ceremonies" be centralized on calendars, such as the 2010 winter olympics calendar? I am having a dispute and would like to hear you opinion on here [2]. You created the calendar for the 2010 Games and left the word centralized can you expalin your reasoning there as well. I am for centralizing the word, because ceremonies are not a medal event, and therefore should be centralized and distinguished from medal events. Thank you.

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on May 9, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 9, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting.

Edward III (1312-1377) was one of the most successful English monarchs of the Middle Ages. Restoring royal authority after the disastrous reign of his father, Edward II, Edward III went on to transform the Kingdom of England into one of the most efficient military powers in Europe. His reign saw vital developments in legislature and government—in particular the evolution of the English parliament—as well as the ravages of the Black Death. Edward was crowned at the age of fourteen, following the deposition of his father. When he was only seventeen years old, he led a coup against his regent, Roger Mortimer, and began his personal reign. After defeating, but not subjugating, the Kingdom of Scotland, he declared himself rightful heir to the French throne in 1338, starting what would become known as the Hundred Years' War. Following some initial setbacks, the war went exceptionally well for England; the victories of Crécy and Poitiers led up to the highly favourable Treaty of Brétigny. Edward’s later years, however, were marked by international failure and domestic strife, largely as a result of his inertia and eventual bad health. Highly revered in his own time and for centuries after, Edward was denounced as an irresponsible adventurer by later Whig historians. This view has turned, and modern historiography credits him with many achievements. (more...)

That's fine, but when those authorities have said that there is no hope of finding the person alive, that seems like a declaration of death to me. Thanks for the copyedit by the way. Lampman (talk) 17:14, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the result of this accident is unfortunately obvious. Formally correct, a disappeared person is not declared as dead until the official authorities/the police have issued a certificate of some kind. (It might be safest.)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Krydder.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

The article Fredrik William Henriksen‎ has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello Lampman. Thank you for starting the GA review of Ely, an article I have been helping to improve. I hope to be able to respond expediently to all the issues that you raise. You may have noted that I have been carrying out, what I hope is, a thorough copy-edit of the article recently. This was triggered by an academic friend of mine who reviewed the article off-wiki; I have simply been working through the issues he noted. I have finished working on the article for now, although who ever completes one of these articles? Let me know if you need access to off-line sources as I have a few journals and about 12 books. I can scan and send you the odd page if it helps you in any way.

Lampman, I'm happy to help in this GA nom. Do I just post a note in Talk:Glenn Gould/GA1? I don't know all the ins/outs of the GA process or all the citation/footnote rules. I fixed the first two on your list. I inserted the two fixes under the Reflist template. Shouldn't all citations go within this template? Argolin (talk) 10:03, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lampman I haven't heard from you. I am moving citations to the Reflist template. I've dealt with most of the external links. I've added some content and put his Juno and Grammys into a wikitable. Are you closing this GA? If/when you do, I'll request a copy edit (the last one seems to be a year ago) and resubmit it as a GA nom. Please advise. Argolin (talk) 20:38, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Lampman. You have new messages at Talk:Glenn Gould/GA1.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the ((Talkback)) or ((Tb)) template.

Thanks for your extended review. I posted an ok to close at the GA (that's if it's up to me). It took me quite a while to consistently organise the citations and most recently the notes. After delving into the article, I was doubtful it would pass. You didn't mention the picture of the statue of Gould. It is just there in the article, no context, not mentioned! lol... One question, I added a References section for DVD's/Films and possibly recordings that were mentioned in the Notes section. Should I combine the Refereces section with the Bibliography section? Thanks again Argolin (talk) 09:05, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have been spending a lot of time lately creating and modifying templates for critically acclaimed episode articles. You have already created "Public Relations (Mad Men)", "Christmas Comes But Once a Year (Mad Men)", "The Good News (Mad Men)", "The Rejected (Mad Men)", and "Waldorf Stories". It has come to my attention that one of the most critically acclaimed episodes in television history is the Mad Men episode entitled "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes (Mad Men) that needs to be created. It appears on ((DirectorsGuildofAmericaOutstandingDirectingDramaSeries 1990–2009)) and ((EmmyAward DramaWriting 2001–2025)). You may also note several other critically acclaimed Mad Men episodes at Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, Writers Guild of America Award for Best Screenplay – Episodic Drama and Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing – Drama Series that were either nominees or winners. You may want to consider creating some of those as well.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes you start a topic and end up doing it by yourself. I see you have created 5 of the 7 Mad Men episodes. You are getting some help. Some episodes are more important than others. There are a lot of Mad Men episodes that have recieved critical acclaim. IMO, those are the ones to do first.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:28, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Robert Gallant requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Sionk (talk) 01:34, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Edmund of Woodstock, 1st Earl of Kent, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Maria of Brabant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This is a note to let the main editors of Richard II of England know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on May 8, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/May 8, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Richard II (1367–1400) was King of England, a member of the House of Plantagenet and the last of its main-line kings. He ruled from 1377 until he was deposed in 1399. Richard was a son of Edward, the Black Prince, and was born during the reign of his grandfather, Edward III. Richard was tall, good-looking and intelligent. Although probably not insane, as earlier historians believed, he may have suffered from one or several personality disorders that may have become more apparent toward the end of his reign. Less of a warrior than either his father or grandfather, he sought to bring an end to the Hundred Years' War that Edward III had started. He was a firm believer in the royal prerogative, something which led him to restrain the power of his nobility and rely on a private retinue for military protection instead. He also cultivated a courtly atmosphere where the king was an elevated figure, and art and culture were at the centre, in contrast to the fraternal, martial court of his grandfather. Richard's posthumous reputation has to a large extent been shaped by Shakespeare, whose play Richard II portrays Richard's misrule and Bolingbroke's deposition as responsible for the 15th-century Wars of the Roses. Most authorities agree that the way in which he carried his policies out was unacceptable to the political establishment, and this led to his downfall. (more...)

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 14:47, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:C.J. and Big Bird.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

You could look at a FAC for me if you don't want to get back in the saddle of article writing right away ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:23, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for today's Richard II of England! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:38, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A year ago, you were recipient no. 1658 of Precious, a prize of QAI! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:27, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By pure happenstance, today I had occasion to have a look at Richard II of England. To my great surprise, coming from the Shakespeare side, I found its coverage of the relevant aspects excellent, and the overall article to be a well deserved FA. Sufficiently so for me to go have a look at its FAC page to find out who we have to thank for that. In any case: I very much second Gerda's sentiment above, including an encouragement to "get back in the saddle" if in any way it can bring you joy! --Xover (talk) 06:19, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Two years now! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:49, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is to let you know that the Richard II of England article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 16 August 2017. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 16, 2017. Thanks!

Thanks for uploading File:Community Pilot cast.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Radiphus 16:42, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I am going through some old Good Articles with cleanup tags and thought I would draw your attention to Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick. Old tags are asking for citations and expansions. I am unsure myself the requirements for sources in those sections so they may not even be necessary. I know and trust your judgement in these matters so thought I would leave it to you.

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Your survey Link: https://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9S3JByWf57fXEkR?Q_DL=56np5HpEZWkMlr7_9S3JByWf57fXEkR_MLRP_7OFnTsNkGuBuZeJ&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 12:45, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article Jaleo Films has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:11, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Christian Sulheim requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://nbl.snl.no/Christian_Sulheim. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello, Lampman. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Christian Sulheim".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the ((db-afc)), ((db-draft)), or ((db-g13)) code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
