RTE programming template
Hi, well done on adding all the RTE programs to this template. Two things, firstly, my favourite show from years ago Nighthawks (presented by Shay Healy) isn't on it, it was quite innovative for its day! Secondly, I think the template it getting very large, any thoughts? Snappy (talk) 09:42, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Flash Floods 2008
We at JBA consulting are seriously impressed with the time and effort put into recording this summers flood events; Thank you. Out of interest, what prompted you to cover this topic?

We were involved in some of the post flood technical analysis and will stick some links in to the published technical reports.

There is also a good historic record of Irish flooding at http://www.floodmaps.ie/ ; as a new user to wikipedia would this be a useful addition in your opinion, or off the topic of your article?

Best regards

Did You Know question
Hello! there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath and respond there as soon as possible. Art LaPella (talk) 04:52, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip. Done. Hopefully Art will stop fooling around and approve my hook sometime soon... :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:14, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't guess what the context of that statement is, but my user page makes it clear I have never approved anyone's hook. Art LaPella (talk) 06:47, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh... yes, that appears to be correct. I don't think I ever mentioned anyone. I just told the previous user to move their DYK to the correct date as it was about five days late. They were worried it mightn't be approved but it never would have been if they didn't move it quickly. -- 18:05, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

DYK
--Dravecky (talk) 11:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The enormous DYK hook
Hiya. Saw your note left earlier on the DYK suggestions page ... John Ryan et al was eventually split up into two hooks. The first is in Queue 2; second part was moved to Next Update a little while ago. The ALT version I put up yesterday came in for some, er, "comment" at the talk page (!), and it was eventually decided to make two easy-to-read hooks instead of one very long, snaking sentence. A shame, but fair enough I suppose! Keep up the good work,  Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  12:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, the one in Queue 4 will equal the current record, so there's some good news :) On the Fallout of the Budget hook, I would normally verify this but I went in and added an extra reference to support part of the hook, so I had better leave it to somebody else to pick up.  I read it in some depth and there shouldn't be any barriers to promotion.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  13:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Multi-hook stats are kept on the hard-to-find Hall of Fame page (I don't know why this isn't linked from the main DYK page!). An 11-article hook was recently produced and will be appearing soon: in fact I verified it and moved it to the Next Update earlier today.  So that will become the new record.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  17:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I think so (re. "number of article on the Main Page at the same time"), although it will be beaten when the 11-article one goes up :S ... Somebody else will probably add everything to the DYK Hall of Fame page in the next day or two, but if they don't you can probably just do so yourself, as long as you provide the appropriate permalink, which is this. You'll have two entries in the "DYK hooks with 5 or more DYK articles" as well – the 9 and the 5.  This is the permalink for the fiver.  I'll keep an eye on it.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  00:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

ITN for Dendermonde nursery attack

 * A contributor to the page gave some foreign language refs with one in German for 4 deaths. Your userpage says you know some German, so if possible, can you verify this?  Spencer T♦C 15:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Changed it to: "At least three..."  Spencer T♦C 16:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I thought so. Also, my lunchbreak is ending soon, and the Laurent Nkunda arrest item on WP:ITN/C was a possible candidate. After reading this, the arrest seems notable enough, but I would like your opinion on it. If you think its good, then would you mind adding ~4+ sentences about his arrest on the arrest section of his article so it can go up? Thanks,  Spencer T♦C 17:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

ITN Dispatch help
Since you're very familiar with In the news and its subpages, I was wondering if you could take a look at FCDW/ITN, ITN's dispatch workpage for the Wikipedia Signpost. Please be bold and give it some cleanup/copyediting, add another section/expand, or leave a comment. Thanks,  Spencer T♦C 19:05, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm too lazy to start a new section, and I hope you find this. I fixed the listing to account for the Santika Club fire, which actually was moved to the correct date. So we have 26! Thanks for the kind note,  Spencer T♦C 22:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Yeah, you have good content/maintenance work, but if you were interested, you may also wish to try some anti-vandalism or deletion work too.  Spencer T♦C 17:03, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm also curious, do you have rollback?  Spencer T♦C 20:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

New DYK template for nominations
Hi,

I've been working, somewhat at Gatoclass's behest, to develop a new version of that doesn't leave so much junk on the nominations page (partly just to be tidier, partly to reduce the page's byte count and, hopefully, its load time). The new template is complete and located at NewDYKnomination (NewDYKnom also works). It is used in almost the exact same way as the current template (the only difference being that creator and expander have been merged into a single writer parameter, since there seems to have been confusion in the past about the difference between these two); there is more discussion of the new template at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 39 and Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Archive 39.

Since you do a lot of work vetting nominations, you are one of the people who will be most affected by the template change (although the effect shouldn't be very big...the main difference is just that this template is less complicated and the format will look a bit different), so I am hoping to hear your thoughts before I go ahead with making the switch from the current system to this one. The links I provided above have permalinks to examples of what the template will look like when used; you are also free to experiment with it in a sandbox.

Thank you, Polit i zer talk / contribs 15:54, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry...the old examples are bad, since I have made a change since then. Here is a new, better example (and here is what it looks like in the edit window). Polit i zer talk / contribs 16:03, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Lisa Hannigan
You are welcome. I am not sure about the amount of work that the Lisa Hannigan article would need to become a Featured Article, but my initial reaction is "a lot." Unfortunately, I am not the best person to know having never brought an article to this status. She is really in the beginning of her (solo) career and the coverage of her seems limited which may hamper any efforts. Taking a look at the articles at: Featured articles I can see how this article could become an equivalent to Alison Krauss (for instance). If you are thinking of bringing it to FAC, I would recommend going to Peer review first. All the best! - Mitico (talk, contribs) 18:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
