Remark
Thank you for your note. Nowhere on WP:Consensus do I see support for your suggestion, though: that page explicitly states "New users who are not yet familiar with consensus should realize that a poll is often more likely to be the start of a discussion than it is to be the end of one! The true decision is typically made during discussion. This is also why you should always provide a further rationale during a poll." If you wish to build consensus, compromise. As I point out, Churchill is simultaneously the most major ideological defender of imperialism in the post WWI twentieth century, and his position as such is central to the man. I provided RSes backing that up. Excluding that from the lead would be misleading; "balancing" it would be difficult, and violate NPOV. After all, we do not balance references to the Nobel for his histories with reviews excoriating his prose, or balance the reference to him as a strategist with suggestions that he was responsible for Gallipoli. The lead is supposed to mention the broad outlines in line with majority academic opinion. Relata refero 17:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Nancy R
Haha well thanks LordHarris. I've seem to have picked the hardest article's to try and get to FA (just look here). I don't know what that Leranedo character's beef was, trying to complicate the situation, and apparently he has a history of doing so! Oh well. It's probably not going to pass this go around, but I intened to improve and just keep trying! Thanks for the support, and God Bless the UK! Best, Happyme22 18:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar Thanks
Many thanks for the Barnstar. It took quite a lot of work to get the article up to its current condition and recognition is pleasing to receive.--DavidCane 02:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Feedback
Hello, you once helped me to promote an article to GA status. I would like to request, could you please take a look to this one and give me a feedback before its nomination for GA status, as I did not found similar articles with which I can compare quality. So feedback would be great to improving article. Thanks, M.K. 14:40, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for the feedback! I will try to address your points. Cheers, M.K. 14:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

My (Remember the dot)'s RfA
I never thanked you for participating in my RfA a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for your support, though unfortunately the request was closed as "no consensus". I plan to run again at a later time, and I hope you will support me again then.

Thanks again! —Remember the dot (talk) 06:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Nancy Reagan FAC
Hello again LordHarris. Just letting you know, Nancy's up for FAC again here; just wondering if you would like to weigh in, as you have helped out so much before by doing so. Thanks, Happyme22 (talk) 06:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You know, I was just looking at another user's page and saw the Golden Wiki Award had been presented to him. I thought, "wow, he's pretty good. I don't count on getting that anytime soon." And now I have one. Thank you so much LordHarris! Happyme22 (talk) 23:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Steinbeck
I'm far from a professional editor, but as with everything, a second guy can always find things a first guy missed. Steinbeck's been a long interest of mine (I've been to many of his old haunts, read all the novels and much criticism, and over a lifetime have been assisted by my father, who used to teach a Steinbeck course at the university level). That doesn't make me an expert, but it does help keep me from making the really obvious mistakes. I'm happy to see anybody making constructive contributions, and have been watching yours with interest and also appreciation. Keep going! S B Harris 20:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Youngstown, Ohio
Hello LordHarris. I am an editor who has been heavily involved with Youngstown, Ohio. It has been peer reviewed twice and is now up for its second FA nom. I have been quite attached to the article and feel that some fresh eyes to read it over would be beneficial. If you have some time, please give it a read and give some comments if you are able. The FA nom can be found here. --Daysleeper47 (talk) 13:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
