Hi Wehwalt, Thanks again for the information you provided for Operation Bernhard. I've got this going through the A class review, prior to a hopeful attempt at FAC. If you have the chance, would you be able t have a look through at some point? (Nompressure, and if you're snowed under elsewhere, or would prefer to keep your powder dry until FAC, that is entirely understandable.) All the best, The Bounder (talk) 07:20, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the invitation. I'd be glad to do so. I'm not quite familiar with the nomination procedure for FA on English Wikipedia, however. Please tell me what I should do in the nomination (Is there something more than writing response on the nomination page?). Thanks again.--如沐西风(RúMùXīFēng) (talk) 13:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
May I put in a good word for the useful edit from User:Bbb in the article. Are you sure about a no Legacy section at Scalia? Wikipedia has one for other public figures such as Clinton, Bush, and Obama, and the topic is already mentioned there in the Scalia article from a school noting his name. I mention this because the new play, constructive to Scalia, has received a good review from The New York Times, and has been broadcast nationwide in the United States on Public Television. Usually, that's notable. ManKnowsInfinity (talk) 18:17, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
I usually do that on the FAC page but I went back to do it and it's been promoted. Sabine's Sunbird talk 22:11, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

You had a look at Van Diemen's Land v Port Phillip, 1851 and asked to be pinged when the heavy lifting had been done. I've been picking at it for ages and I think it's getting somewhere close to finished, so we'd be grateful if you could take a look and see if there is anything obviously missing. Parts of it might still be a little rough and ready as I'd like to give it another polish, but the ultimate aim is FAC I think. Any thoughts appreciated. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:49, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Wehwalt. Would you mind taking a look at this article? I was planning on nominating it for FA, but I keep thinking that it's missing something.

I am attempting to overhaul Buffalo, New York into something akin to Hamilton, Ontario or Minneapolis, but it's a daunting and overwhelming task because I don't know where to start (specifically in regards to the history section).

I ran the reference for this new addition to the article through Google translate, and it does not support the assertions about the length of the run (or the opening and closing dates). It also does not mention Stefan Mayer, Richard Wherlock, Bryony Dwyer, or Christian Miedl. It supports the name of the theatre, the director and the actress who played Nettie. I then did a Google search and could not find support for the length of the run. It got bad opening night reviews here and here, with the director and music both coming in for some sharp criticism. Please advise if you think this production ought to be in the article, and if not, I suggest going ahead to delete it. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:48, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I hope you are enjoying your travel, and will be able to read this. Two days ago, in a freak accident, my laptop was destroyed, with the complete loss of all my contact information. I am temporarily using a borrowed laptop while the technical guys try to salvage what they can. But I need urgently to get in touch with Tim over the various meetups planned for next week and I've no way of reaching him - I don't think he regularly checks his old WP talkpage. If you could email him for me, and pass on the message below, I'd be most grateful – I'd email him through Wikipedia, but that link is missing from the toolbar on this machine and I don't know how to install it. The message is that, basically, due to health issues I've been forbidden to travel to London on 5 June as anticipated, but will be allowed on the following Saturday with an escort (my daughter). I'm sorry this will mean missing you & also for all the inconvenience I seem to be causing. Would you mind leaving a note on my WP talk confirming that you've received this?

I noticed that you protected the Lincoln Cent page.
I'd like to run a change by you. At several points, the coin is called a "penny". Legally, it's a "cent", and I think that most of the references to the coin should be changed to reflect it's correct name (leaving in place things like "Leave a penny, take a penny"). Thanks.

I saw that you removed (the start of) a list of honorary degrees from John Diefenbaker on the grounds that it was "not significant nor particularly encyclopedic". However, the articles about most of the Canadian prime ministers who have followed Diefenbaker have similar sections. See Lester B. Pearson#Honorary degrees, Pierre Trudeau#Honorary degrees, Joe Clark#Honorary degrees, John Turner#Honorary degrees, Brian Mulroney#Honorary degrees, Kim Campbell#Honorary degrees, Jean Chrétien#Honorary degrees, Paul Martin#Honorary degrees, and Stephen Harper#Honorary degrees. In light of this pattern, it would seem to be appropriate for Diefenbaker as well. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:09, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
How do you want to deal with this? Part of it is unreferenced. Please let me know what you think. I imagine you were already aware of the Said book, but that you found it too general? It is not clear whether Said actually referred to The King and I, or whether the editor's reference to it is OR? -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:13, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

I've opened a sandbox, here, in which I've listed all the sources I have to hand in relation to Agnew. The books are a somewhat random collection, made up of what's on my shelves. They all have some significant Agnew content, but much will be repetitive and the list can surely been slimmed down. At some stage I'll do a brief content analysis on the books, to see what's worth using. There are undoubtedly titles which I don't have and you will wish to add.
I've only skimmed the articles and websites thus far. Again, you will probably have access to more articles that have not found themselves online, and such sources as his ANB entry - which perhaps you could email me? May I suggest that you use the sandbox to add suggestions of your own. Not all material is available in the UK - I can't find a copy of Agnew's own account Go Quietly or Else, though the novel, The Canfield Decision can be got for a few pence.

Hello, Wehwalt. I saw your name on the list of participants at the British Currency Task Force. Might I trouble you with a brief question?
While doing background research for an article, I came across a mid-19th century reference book for London booksellers (The London Catalogue of Books Published in Great Britain). That reference provided various bits of information about each itemized book, including its price. But the headings on each page stated that "All prices are expressed in boards". The price were given in the three-column fashion that I usually associate with pounds/shillings/pence, but those words weren't actually used (nor any symbols) -- just the statement at the top of the page referring to "boards". I assume that "boards" is synonymous with "pounds", but I haven't been able to corroborate this with on-line searching. Have you seen this term before and, if so, does it really mean the same thing as "pounds"?
Any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. NewYorkActuary (talk) 00:13, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Wehwalt,
A big thank you for your insightful and constructive comments at the Balfour Declaration FAC.
I am disappointed that the review was archived, but I have never been through this process before so knew to expect the unexpected. I am trying to figure out if I should go through the pain again of trying to hit the 2 Nov centennial deadline, or just give up the ghost.
Either way, your comments to date have been incredibly helpful, so if you have the time to continue your review on the talk page (or at a new peer review?) I would gladly work with you to incorporate the changes.

Hi Wehwalt,
Many thanks for your continued support – and guidance – on this one. There are events taking place round the world already this week to commemorate the upcoming centenary (in both positive and negative lights, of course). The article has four supports now, and with 8 days until the centenary I am still optimistic that we can get it on to TFA in time (although I understand last minute changes are not always possible for TFA coordinators).
I am posting here because you asked me to let you know when it’s ready for your review. I think after Mightnightblueowl’s excellent comments, I am now done tweaking the article. If you do have time to take another look, particularly as you were the first commentator at the first FAC, it would be a great way to end a long journey!

The article List of United Kingdom Parliament constituencies represented by sitting Prime Ministers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This page is redundant; the entirety of the information in this article exists on List of Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. Furthermore the subject is not noteworthy enough to justify existing as a separate 'summary' page, pageviews analysis indicates it gets only 12 daily pageviews on average, compared with 3,828 the List of PM's of the UK is getting.
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. ToastButterToast (talk) 15:08, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Wehwalt,
I'm writing to ask whether you would consider having a look at the article. I'm aware that you've been involved with a few PRs before. I've given it a major rewrite and complete overhaul. I began working on the article late October when it looked like this and somehow ended up rewriting the whole thing and aiming for potentially FA. This isn't a process I've been through before, but I have been reading the reviews here in preparation, and am familiar with FAC demands. I would very much appreciate a fresh set of eyes and happily address any concerns you may have.
Thanks! Pseud 14 (talk) 05:58, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I recently had the Guild of Copy Editors do a review. I have edited the article over the years but the editor who did the lion share of Good Article work and also nominated for FA, User:JeremyA, retired awhile ago. I am appreciative of his work, have interest and sources on the topic, and would perhaps like to complete his desire for FAC (crediting him) but I was wondering if you can take a look at the article for improvements and any FAC issues.

Today: Indian Head gold pieces, "the only ones the US has ever done which have the design lowered below the surface of the coin. The eighth in my nine-article series on the Great Redesign of US coins from 1907 to 1921. It contains the usual snafus behind the scenes at the Mint, an increasingly irritated Theodore Roosevelt, and perhaps the most plaintive comment ever by an artist who has had his design "improved" by the Mint." - I have the honour to have a singer on the same page, whose hook was "improved" by piping the unique Staatsoper Unter den Linden to an unspecific State Opera, something almost every little state in Germany boasts. No comment may be the most plaintive ;) - The singer was dismissed when Germany was united, see Spiegel clipping. His comment was not plaintive: "Die Staatsoper ist kein Imbißstand, den man so einfach verscherbelt." That would have been a more unique hook, but I try to stay positive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wehwalt, trust you're good. Was discussing with Versace1608 (who created the article) about possibility of promoting this article to FA. He was a bit reluctant and refused because he felt there were not enough references from books and scholarly journal sources which carries more weight than Newspapers. After doing a search myself, I discovered it was not that he refused to use them, there simply weren't available. Since I saw your name on people willing to help, I decided to just come ask for your opinion. Regards, 17:10, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

I see you have been working hard on this article, so kudos for that. However, you appear to be relying very heavily on several unpublished sources and, even though you are a long time editor here, you may not be aware they are not considered reliable for wiki article purposes. That prose may have to be deleted or provided with published sources instead, please see WP:SOURCE. You may also not be are aware of two templates that can be added to the article header while working on it so you don't have to make so many small saves, al the time wondering if another editor might save an edit while you are active and make you start over: ((in use))
and ((under construction))

Thank you for that article with a back story: "he title of the article sounds like a dull historical event, but the Monroe Doctrine Centennial half dollar is anything but. It was part of a scheme by Hollywood in the early 1920s, when there were such scandals as the accusations against Fatty Arbuckle, to get good publicity by having a historical fair and issuing a coin for it. The expo was not noticeably successful, but as one source points out, if it was in anyway responsible for Hollywood's later success, then it and the coin were very successful indeed."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

I posted at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests#Newly-promoted article asking if it was possible to change the queue for TFA (ie swap a new FA into an already-filled future slot, with the support of the person who championed the FA being usurped). I pinged you but I may have stuffed that up so you may not have seen it. I would appreciate knowing if my request is even permitted; if it is permitted, is it in the right place and following suitable procedures; and if possible some rough time-frame for how long consideration of my request might take.-gadfium 22:48, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Giving a “building” to another country; an amazing event. I’d like to know more about how it developed, and I suspect it’s in books, but not on Wiki.
Why did so many Frenchmen think it was a good idea? And, without diminishing their generosity... what was in it for them? Why would they think it (giving a giant costly statue to another country) would inspire or rally the French?
What was the effect in France? Especially in the 1880-1914 period?
Was (recreation of) the Olympic Games, part of the thinking (zeitgeist). A defence against German unification?
I’m still pondering. I couldn’t decide what to ask for on the Talk page, so I’ve decided to clutter up yours instead. Any comments? MBG02 (talk) 22:16, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
I noticed that you reverted my recent edits to the Assassination of William McKinley article regarding the birthplace of assassin Leon Czolgosz.

"insurance covers", were motivated by the fact the astronauts could not have life insurance.
What is left unsaid here is how dangerous life was for Apollo astronauts. Seven astronauts (the Mercury Seven) were selected in 1959. One (Gus Grissom) died in the Apollo fire in 1967. Nine more astronauts (the Next Nine) were selected in 1962; Ed White died in the Apollo fire in 1967 and Elliott See was killed in a plane crash in 1966. Fourteen more were selected in 1963; Roger Chaffee was killed in the fire and Theodore Freeman, Charles Bassett and Clifton Williams in plane crashes. Of thirty astronauts, there were seven deaths - 23 per cent - in less than ten years. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:55, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello Wehwalt and hoping that you are well. As you seemed to take an interest in the Referendum Party article when I was pushing it though FAC this time last year (and then the John Tyndall (politician) article last November), I was wondering if you might be interested in taking a look at another UK politics-themed FAC I currently have open, that for the National Front (UK). The FAC itself (here) isn't getting much attention, and if you did have the time and/or inclination to take a look then it would be appreciated, although there is of course no pressure on you to do so.

As 'the coin guy', do you think Summer Olympic Coins (2000–present) is worth (a) saving, or (b) deleting? In its present not-updated-for-a-decade-other-than-by-bots state it's actually less useful than a blank page, since someone with an interest Googling the topic will end up wasting their time here rather than finding a different site that doesn't talk about the forthcoming 2008 Games—however, looking at the pageview count it appears that I'm the first person to read it for a year who isn't a search engine bot, so I doubt there's the interest to justify spending time trying to rescue it. There is a potentially interesting topic here—the 2012 games are still distorting the British coin collecting market years after the event, and I assume the same is true elsewhere—but this article certainly isn't it. ‑ Iridescent 22:49, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello Wehwalt, been a while. How are things going on with your good self? BTW, Kailash29792 has listed this article about a 1965 cult classic film in Tamil cinema for peer reviewing with the intention of preparing it for FAC and subsequently taking it to FA. As always, your constructive comments would be deeply appreciated. Also do have a look at his other FAC. Thank you. — Ssven2 Looking at you, kid 08:17, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello. As you may remember, you were involved in the FA review process for John Adams back in July before it ultimately failed after 5 days. You managed to get a little bit of reviewing in before this happened but not very much. After significant work on the article (which mainly involved copyediting and shortening), I renominated it late last month. If you wish, you're welcome to take another look at it and see if there are any comments you'd like to make. If not, no problem. Thanks, Display name 99 (talk) 02:03, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
Greetings, dear Sir! If you have time and inclination I'd be exceedingly glad of your thoughts on Hector Berlioz's article, which I now have up for peer review with FAC in mind.

Hey Wehwalt. I'd like to thank you for the work you did on the William Henry Harrison campaign article. I was the one who originally created it, taking some of the information from other articles to start it off. There were a couple of other articles that I made as well, like the Jackson campaign in 1828. I haven't looked at the page in quite some time, but I got an alert about the peer-review you requested from last year. I don't sign in much on this account these days and so I just saw the article again for the first time. Anyway, it seems like you did quite a bit of research, and I commend you for the work you put in there. Themane2 (talk) 06:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

I know it's from 2015 but why? And after the past two years you don't think it's at least inappropriate, if not outright dangerous? Heather's death wasn't enough? What if it instigates something akin to Kristallnacht? The article so prominent on the front page wouldn't do it under normal circumstances, but a so-called president is urging murder, so now do you feel like an accomplice? I know you seemed to think it's all for the encyclopedia, but is that worth lives? You personally won't be directly responsible, but having such a prominent site feature one of 'their' heroes, what do you think would go through a supremacist's mind? You don't think this is historic because the subject's dead, right? So what if upon seeing it a cult member decides to gratify the fascist tendency and go on a killing spree? Is one star (how ironic considering the symbols Nazis used...) at the top of your page worth what, one, five or ten lives?
You may be writing about politics generally, but considering there are probably many others that aren't featured yet why focus on such? And why let the process grind on after you know the outcome of 2016 (well, the campaign was on in 15, you didn't write it in response?) - all it took for one person with a gun to kill eleven people is the "there might be middle easterns" (in south america, somehow) after which he concluded that it must be Jews and that is that. Now that was one of thousands of lies, this article may be factual but for them it is like a shrine they need to worship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 51.158.69.142 (talk) 15:11, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Next day: Standing Liberty quarter, in "a article series on the Great Redesign of US coinage from 1907 to 1921.

Hi Wehwalt
I 'pinged' you there concerning the Apollo image request which has unfortunately languished there since August. I wasn't sure whether you were busy, away, didn't see the notification, or whether the issue was now unimportant since it had become 'stale', so I thought I'd drop a note here, just in case you did miss the 'ping', as suggested on your Commons user page.

Hi. I've just expanded the article's 'Artistry' section and wanted to ask for your help. I think in general it's okay but because it's a FA I want to make sure it's written to the highest standars. I'm a bit worried the style is a bit too informal. Especially the part when I write about 'Just the Two of Us' review since most of it is a translation of what was written in the review.

I take your point, and won't revert, but I think it would be OK to leave it since it's a writing guide, not an FA guide. Unless Tony loses interest in that aspect of Wikipedia, which seems unlikely, there's no reason for him to remove it or make it less useful. If he should change the content in a way that makes it unsuitable as a link, we could remove the link then. But it's not a big deal -- I think most people who read it are directed there from a link in conversation, not because it's on that page.

Hello,
I saw your response to my question about Cuba on the Humanities Reference Desk and I was hoping to ask you another question about this same topic:
Do you think that there was ever a realistic chance of the U.S. acquiring and annexing Cuba--either in 1898 (in the absence of the Teller Amendment) or sometime earlier?
I'm curious about this because Cuba strikes me as a great location for additional living space for the U.S. I mean, Florida has done an excellent job serving as living space for Americans, but it would have been even better if the U.S. would have also had Cuba as living space. Plus, the Cubans themselves would have strongly benefited from this by having a much higher standard of living (in regards to their economic prosperity).

Hey, Wehwalt -- just a heads up that I plan to propose a significant expansion of the 'Legacy' section of the Richard Nixon article. Nixon's legacy remains so overarching and so vast today, the section could use a bit more juice.

Hello. I saw that you undid my deletion of the clause which stated that Patrick Henry's image was marred by his opposition to the then proposed constitution.

Hello, glad to see you are still active, as both of the other admins who were involved have ceased editing. Way back on 25 December 2008 you were the admin who deleted the original version of the article Good Germans, prior to it being transwikied to Wiktionary. As you can see, there is a new, recently-created article, and I would like to incorporate content from the original article. I was hoping to find it at Wiktionary, but it was never posted there -- never made it past Transwiki:Good Germans. It just disappeared without a trace -- except for some links at Deletion review. From one of the comments, it looks like the best version of that article was probably this one. I'd be most appreciative if you would post that on my User page so I can put it to use in the new article. Thanks in advance! Anomalous+0 (talk) 05:57, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
