I was reading this discussion Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Tullyhogue_Fort which i found through the Tullyhogue Fort article's talk page and just have to comment that the site wasn't just a typical "old fort", especially since it was never a defensive structure but an ancient ceremonial site. Its historical importance is attested to and its symbolism was such that Lord Mountjoy, Queen Elizabeth I's deputy, destroyed the inauguration stone at it to symbolically smash the powerful O'Neills. It's notability is along the lines of that of Emain Macha and Tara, added in the fact it is also a "State Care Historic Monument". Mabuska (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
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 March 17, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/March 17, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The Anthony Roll is a record of ships of the English Tudor navy of the 1540s, named after its creator, Anthony Anthony. It originally consisted of three rolls of vellum, depicting 58 naval vessels along with information on their size, crew, armament, and basic equipment. The rolls were presented to King Henry VIII in 1546, and were kept in the royal library. In 1680 Charles II gave two of the rolls to Samuel Pepys, who had them cut up and made into a single volume, which is now in the Pepys Library at Magdalene College, Cambridge. The third roll remained in the royal collection until it was given by William IV to his daughter, Mary Fox, who sold it to the British Museum in 1858; it is now owned by the British Library. The Anthony Roll is the only known fully illustrated inventory of ships of the English navy in the Tudor period. While the inventories listed in its text have proven to be highly accurate, most of the ship illustrations are rudimentary and made according to a set formula. The only known contemporary depictions of prominent Tudor era vessels like the Henry Grace à Dieu and the Mary Rose are contained in the Anthony Roll. Since the Mary Rose sunk by accident in 1545 and was successfully salvaged in 1982, comparison between the information in the Roll and the physical evidence of the Mary Rose has provided new insights into the study of the naval history of the period.

I have nominated Swedish allotment system for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. P. S. Burton (talk) 11:12, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Peter, I must thank you for your help regarding this matter: [[1]]. I was not even sure how valid SergeWoodzing's complaint was, so it was very valuable for me to know so much about the rules of Wikipedia concerning this issue. I have now been given help with the spelling check, and I think spelling errors will be a much less of an issue in the future. Thank you again for your help!--Aciram (talk) 15:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Peter. I've noticed the work you've put into the article over the last while. Nicely done. Keep it up. I'm becoming more and more interested in these vessels, and it's nice to see the article steadily improve over time.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 19:00, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I've written an article about Literature Circles in EFL 'English as a Foreign Language', teacher accompanied classroom discussion groups among EFL learners, who regularly get together in class to speak about and share their ideas, and comment on others' interpretations about the previously determined section of a graded reader in English. I'm wondering if you would have time to peer-review.

Hi Peter -- I took the liberty of removing your section on European cuisine from Wikipedia:Errors in the Encyclopædia Britannica that have been corrected in Wikipediabecause there was no citation of which version of EB you were citing. I can't find "Gastronomy" in online version or the EB 1911 edition. I'm glad I stumbled across this, however, since it led me to Medieval Cuisine, which I found excellent! Maybe we can get you to look at Chinese cuisine, which needs help. All the best ch (talk) 16:52, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Peter, I've added a brief geology section to the new article. I would expand on this and put this forward for DYK, but I'm off for a long weekend walking in the Derbyshire Peak District first thing tomorrow, so I won't be able to do anything to it until after the 5 day deadline has passed. If you feel like nominating it, then I'll be back editing on 17th or 18th and I'll finish off what I started on the geology - it doesn't have anything on the impact structure or the mineralization at the moment. However, no pressure. Mikenorton (talk) 22:06, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Approximation? No where does it say that. Basically sound? What is that? A new Wikipedia guideline? No where does it say Approximation. It is written as fact. I have read many books on the battles of the Hundred Years War and no one knows the amount of forces or casulaties, including Froissart, and it is preposterous to say that 11 Noblemen killed, 1,542 knights killed, 2,300 Genoese Crossbowmen killed Several thousand infantry killed and then put "citation needed". Same with Forces and Casualties. That is unacceptable in Wikipedia. I have changed it to say "an approximation". The rest is pure conjecture.

On 17 July 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Siljan Ring, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Siljan Ring, a very large impact crater in central Sweden, has been the site for two attempts at commercial exploitation of natural gas and oil based on the theory of abiogenic petroleum? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Siljan Ring. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hi Peter, I've nominated Language which I've recently expanded drastically for a peer review - Given that the topic is so huge I am sure I've left out something important, but at this point I am blind to it myself.

Hi there Peter Isotalo! I've noticed you have yourself listed as a member of the Food and Drink Wikiproject. Unfortunately it looks like the project has been slowly sliding into inactivity except for a couple of people. That makes me a sad potato, and nobody likes a sad potato amirite?
If you'd like to turn my frown upside down, can you do two small things?
First off, go here and add ((Tick)) ( ) next to your name if you're still part of the project.
Second, go to the project talkpage and participate in a discussion about how to make the project more active, and how to go about making articles in our area of interest a lot better.
You don't want to make me cry, do you? Potatoes have a lot of eyes you know. So come on, join in! :)
