Aprils fools day was a blast. Loads of users lightened up to have good old fashion fun. I want to thank you for taking part in editingthis page in particular and even though I may not know you, embrace the same talk pages, or even edit with you in the near future, I'd like to award you this Barnstar for making Wikipedia a fun environment in which to contribute. Until next year. :)SynergeticMaggot (talk)14:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply] |
Well, no one has put any more comments onTragic Kingdom's peer review. I askedWesleyDodds a few days ago, and he never responded (he did respond to other people's messages on his talk page since then.) What should we do now?
Oh, and one more thing. There is a long section of the credits forBoom Box on its Allmusic page, i.e. it lists about 200 names. How many, and/or which ones, should I add or leave out?Tezero (talk)14:08, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I hope your successful in getting the article to GA, it's been on my watchlist for a few months now—A sockpuppet used to edit it—and I've been watching your work from a distance. Well done. —Realist215:58, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It wasnot promoted by SandyGeorgia. Why could it have happened? What was there left to do?! I thought we got everything?Tezero (talk)15:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Those sound like good ideas. But since I've only reviewed 5 GANs, it seems like a lot of work to do. I'll do at least a few of em (starting tomorrow; I'm with relatives today) butThe Singles,No Doubt, andThe Beacon Street Collection got reviewed quickly. We could do it, but yes it would be a lot of work.
P.S. Oh, and what did you mean "hit with a hammer"? The term "WP:HAMMER" sounds familiar...Tezero (talk)20:10, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, sure, I'll merge at some point soon. Fail it, consider it withdrawn, whatever- it doesn't really matter. Talbot's new album has now been released anyway, so I can easily expand that article to aim for a good/featured topic, which is the reason I was nominating this one in the first place. Thanks.J Milburn (talk)23:44, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, new things keep on coming up. We have one support vote,Dabomb87. There's a little more to do to get WesleyDodds to support it.
Oh, and about the liner notes, there's the usual; lyrics, special thanks, and some photographs. Above and below each photograph is a lyric snippet from the song "Tragic Kingdom". I don't think there's anything from the liner notes that could be added to the article.Tezero (talk)03:26, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think there is left that I can do to getBoom Box to GA standard, or at least to expand it a bit? There's those "expand" tags there, but there just seems to be no more material out there. Got any suggestions?Tezero (talk)04:29, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have just reviewedBoom Box and placed it on hold because there are a couple issues related to the sources that need to be addressed. Full review details are listedhere. Contact me on mytalk page when these issues are addressed so I can go ahead and promote the article. //Gbern3 (talk)19:47, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So, do you think you're up to rewriting the infamous "music" paragraph inTragic Kingdom?Boom Box isn't too far from GA standard; all it needs is more references in the background section.

Thanks for the info on how to re-formatFearless. I'm new when it comes to correctly formatting Wikipedia articles. I mostly do minor edits such as adding a sentence or two of info, correcting bad information, or correcting typos. I'll definitely have to get to work! Thanks again!Novelwriter65 (talk)19:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To more thoroughly answer your question, when the article was going through peer review, several editors complained that the extent of the background information given on capturing and battling with MissingNo. violatedWP:GAMEGUIDE's policy, thus the brief summary in the article. It comes down to a case of trying to appease everyone sadly. I hope this answer is sufficient.--Kung Fu Man (talk)14:37, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That can happen. And I'm sorry if it's disappointing to have to wait another ten days but please do feel free to renominate it immediately and notify those folks who showed an interest last time. Once again, apologies.The Rambling Man (talk)16:59, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I believe we never cross paths before, I see that you are making improvements to theSpice article as well to the discography page, so are you by any chance willing to collaborate with me on the singles and albums articles, I always wanted to find some users to help me, but never found anyone, that is why stopped with "2 Become 1", too much work for me, I believe that we can make the whole group's discography at least good articles, there are only 13 singles and 4 albums and there is a pretty good amount of info available, lots of books about the group. Please let me know what you think about this, perhaps you have other projects alredy. Regards.Frcm1988 (talk)04:39, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi.
Indeed the article is big and good, but is definitely a stub for our project for 3 reasons:
1.- Lacks year category, and several more to be GA2.- There is no authorship for the songs3.- The personnel section is most likely incomplete, since no producer is mentioned, and the section wasn´t made according to guidelines.
I´ll take care of the las two, but the authorship is fundamental.
Don´t hesitate to call if anything else comes up. Good luck with the GAN.Zidane tribal (talk)01:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I was wondering if you'd be able to check that I've addressed your concerns for theNo Line on the Horizon FAC, just for the record?

Hey! I found you on the "Guild of Copy Editors" page. I am currently working on theNobel Prize article and I am going to nominate it for a GA soon, hopefully before the end of this week. However, it could need some more grammar/prose checks to make it better. I was wondering if you could give me a hand? Especially the parts after "History" needs some looking into. I would be very grateful for any help :)

Hi Escape Artist, been a while since the last time that we chat, I have been re-editing "Wannabe" from scratch for the past two weeks in mysandbox, and it is HUGE!!!, there is so much info available. Im still doing the Composition section, and the reception and chart performance sections are missing, but they are the easiest to do. The article would probably need a lot of copyediting. I don't know if you have the time right know, since you are not very active recently, or if you are still interested in the project, so please let me know.

Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in theGuild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the {{copyedit}} tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration.ɳorɑfʈ Talk!14:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to toreview other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing aa two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are notautoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obviousvandalism orBLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (seeWikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be foundhere.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.The Rambling Man (talk)17:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings from theGuild of Copy EditorsJuly 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. Thanks to all who participated in the drive! Over 100 editors—includingJimbo Wales—signed up this time (nearly triple the participants of the May drive). This benefited the Guild as well as the articles in need of copy editing. You can see from the comparison graphs that we increased the number of completed copyedits substantially. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our goal of completely wiping out 2008 from the queue. We also were not able to reduce the backlog to less than 6,000 articles. We suspect people were busy with real life summertime things, at least in the northern hemisphere! We were able to remove the months of January, February, March, April, and May from the backlog, and we almost wiped out the month of June. We reduced the backlog by 1,289 articles (17%), so all in all it was a very successful drive, and we will be holding another event soon. We'll come up with some new ideas to try to keep things fresh and interesting. Keep up the good work, everybody!

Greetings from theGuild of Copy EditorsBacklog Elimination Drive!![]()
We have reached the midway point in ourbacklog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it isnot too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping ourRequests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs{{cleanup}},{{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line!

I came to the above page on a redirect from "Boris Pecker" but could find nothing about him. I left a query on the talk page in 2020. Please see my note on the talk page for Dead Famous. As no-one has taken up my query I have put in a request for discussion and deletion of the redirect .If there is a connection I would be happy for the redirect to remain if this was explained in the article Spinney Hill (talk) 10:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Spinney Hill (talk)10:05, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
