Far Harbor
Hey David Fuchs, I've taken Fallout 4: Far Harbor to FAC again, and I'd love to know if the suggestions you left on the last one have been fixed, specifically the prose issues. A couple of users have gone through it a few times to make sure the prose is at the FA standards. If you want to leave comments, the page is here.

Help for FAC
Hello! Wonderful work with the "Yesterday's Enterprise" article. Your FAC for that article actually inspired me to put an episode of Star Trek: Voyager up for FAC. I was wondering if you could possibly provide some comments for my current FAC? I am very fortunate to have receive very helpful comments/response only a couple of days after putting up the FAC. I understand if you do not have the time. I hope you are having a wonderful week so far. Aoba47 (talk) 02:59, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi
Not sure if this is appropriate but I just wanted to say 'hi' as I didn't expect to see a familiar name from the Halo community pop up in my Wikipedia editing travels. I recognize you from HBO, I only lurked there but you're probably familiar with my brother Snipe. -Sunomi64 (talk) 20:38, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Dragon Ball (manga)
Hi David Fuchs,

I was planning to candidate the article linked for FA, but I would like a second opinion on that. When you have free time, could you take a look, and post on the article talk page if there are concerns? -- 1989 22:55, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey User:1989, I took a look at the article. Overall, it looks pretty solid; there's excellent topic coverage. The weakness I see is mainly the prose; it's a bit informal in places (using contractions) as well as a bit stilted, with repetitious phrasing. I'd suggest getting a good copyeditor to run through it and try and spruce it up. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 22:42, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for the feedback. I asked one of the copyeditors who copyedited the article before to do it again, and they said they couldn't find much of what you were saying. 1989 13:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Many edits at Sci Fi films
Recently, I noticed your many edits at various sci fi films. 2018 is the 50 year anniversary for the film 2001 and I have thought about mentioning the possibility for your interest to help promote it to featured article, last attempted by another editor in 2013. For the past 2-3 weeks, I've been thinking of moving the main article for 2001 towards featured article and was wondering if you might be interested. Do you have any interest in possibly joining in and moving this article forward for the 50th anniversary year?JohnWickTwo (talk) 21:41, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * JohnWickTwo: That sounds like a laudable goal (my dad is a huge Kubrick fan so that's an extra incentive.) I'm going to be traveling but I'll take a look at the article and see what needs to be done after this weekend. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:47, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Tos city-on-the-edge.png
Thank you for uploading File:Tos city-on-the-edge.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File:Chicxulub shockedquartz.png and File:Iridium clay layer.png
The rationales for these files need updating.

At File:Chicxulub shockedquartz.png: Considering that we have c:Category:Shocked quartz, the assertion that "shocked quartz is an exceedingly rare rock created by atomic bomb testing and meteor impacts;" is a moot point.

Concerning File:Iridium clay layer.png: This file lacks explanation about replaceability altogether.

Memories of the importance of 2001
Previously I had mentioned the fifty year anniversary of Kubrick's film 2001 and you made some useful comments. I am now inclining to make a strong endorsement of your plan as you stated it then. Your plan was on the Talk page there for two months with no objections raised by anyone about it being a good plan. I have just starting adding the ASIN for the various video production and am ready to start in on your suggested editing. If you can start marking the sections which you might like to see abridged and revised according to your original plan possibly by using a section template announcement, then I can start to get to the trims. Your plan still is a good plan and all of us now know that there have been no objections raised by anyone for the entire normal archival period. Here is your original list of items for convenience:

More importantly, if this is going to get to FA we need to verify a lot of these citations to dead tree sources. There's a bunch of unreferenced stuff that I'll go ahead and tag later on this week. I haven't done a mop-up on scholarly and production books and articles on the film, so I'll check with my libraries and see if there seems like any good sources that might be missing.
 * The breakup of production into filming/post production and then design/effects seems a bit weird to me. On the articles I've written, even ones of comparable length to this, have followed a more sequential form, and I think given how the article discusses certain topics that's a better idea here.
 * There's some reconciliation I believe needs to be done on the remaining fair use media in the article (for example there's a still of the star gate sequence and then a video clip, so that's duplicative.)
 * In general, I think the article scope and length is mostly fine, but there are areas I think could use trims, specifically in the writing section (paragraph digressions into Hal's motivations that don't make it into the film seem unnecessary, for instance) and I think the article would be better served by focusing each section—there's post-production and effects details in the cinematography section, thematic critiques scattered throughout, and editing information in both the post section and the premiere section. If there's an interpretation sub article, than the critical analysis section can be substantially shorter as well.

It would be nice to see the article at FA for its fifty year anniversary milestone. JohnWickTwo (talk) 15:18, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Mentoring for Scarface (1932)
Hello, I have been working on an article for some time. I have recently gotten it promoted to good article and have been making improvements for my first featured article nomination. I'm pretty unfamiliar with the process and was wondering if you would be willing to help mentor me. My article is about the old Scarface from 1932 on which the 1983 version with Al Pacino was based.
