Articles for deletion/Unc football investigations
You voted there, so I am leaving this note on your talk page. I have entirely rewritten the article, and put all the prose into 2010 North Carolina Tar Heels football team. I still think we should just leave it as a merge, but I'd appreciate your input.  Nole  lover  14:32, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you...
...for this. I have spent a very discouraging morning reverting his mass restoration of these articles (and noting several clear copyvios along the way), and it is extremely heartening to find an example of diligence along the way. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:21, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Addressed the points you made. Thanks. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:33, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Favour
Hey Giants, hope you're good. Here for a quick favour, some feedback on Gordon Bennett Cup in ballooning which I've been working on in the last couple of days. I'm looking to head to FLC once this year's race finishes, which is fascinatingly still going on (see this for live tracks of the remaining balloons!). Any suggestions are gratefully received. It's a little raw, I know, but would be nice to at least have an external POV. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:04, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

RfC on Featured List Criteria section 3b
Hello. You are receiving this message as you previously posted in the ongoing RfC on whether Featured List Criteria section 3b should be modified or eliminated. Based on feedback and commentary received during the section-by-section analysis of the current criteria, I have proposed a new version of the criteria here. I would like your input on ways to improve and refine this proposal, in hopes of reaching consensus to implement this change to the criteria. Thank you for your attention. –Grondemar 17:12, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Giants2008! Would you mind revisiting your comments at WP:Featured article review/Premier League/archive2 to see if they have been resolved to your satisfaction? Thank you, Dana boomer (talk) 13:37, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Gordon Bennett Cup (ballooning)
Yo Giants. I'm away for a while as of tomorrow afternoon. My (question, request, demand, hint)* is, if at all possible, you could spare a few precious moments to review my paltry offering. It's a good list, as far as I'm concerned, but I'm sure it's not perfect, and some non-UK eyes would certainly be appreciated. In any case, if you had some minutes to check it out, I'd much appreciate it. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 21:06, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I think I've addressed your comments at the FAC. I'm hopeful that if so, you will take a position on the nomination, which is sort of languishing for lack of !votes. All the best,--Wehwalt (talk) 14:12, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

ICC Cricket Hall of Fame
Hey Giants. Another favo(u)r if I may be so bold. Could you cast your eyes over the subject list, I intend to nominate it at FLC in a week or so (or whenever PDSA Gold Medal gets some more support) and was hoping for some independent reviews. Anything you could offer on the talk page would be most helpful. Cheers, The Rambling Man (talk) 12:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 October newsletter
The 2010 WikiCup is over!

A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner!

Also, congratulations to, who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.

Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round.

Winning the featured list prize is, for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is, for four featured pictures in round 3.

The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl FAC
Thanks for your comment at the FAC for 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl. If you have a chance, could you take another look at the article and comment whether you believe it fully meets the featured article criteria? I would very much appreciate it. –Grondemar 16:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching those close paraphrasing issues in the 2010 PapaJohns.com Bowl article. I believe I fixed them all; would you mind revisiting and letting me know if you believe the article meets the featured article criteria now?  There also have been some editors saying the text could use another copyedit; if you could look over and let me know if you find anything confusing or less-than-ideally-phrased, I would greatly appreciate it. –Grondemar 05:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

FLC
Hi Giants, how have you been lately? The Rambling Man is going to be on break for time being, and I will do my best to resume reviewing FLCs. TRM has indicated to me (via email) that he might be out for a while, so I might need someone to help out with director/delegate duties. Do you think you can help out occasionally in that department? I'll try to keep up with the bulk of the closures and mundane stuff, but if you could step in once in a while, that would be great. Thanks, as always, Dabomb87 (talk) 19:45, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Excellent! For starters, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of songs in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock/archive1 will need closing (but not necessarily now) Dabomb87 (talk) 22:51, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Miss Moppet
After The Story of Miss Moppet was promoted at FAC, it was discovered that the primary contributor had closely paraphrased or copied many sentences in many articles, and that in some cases facts presented were not backed up by the references cited. The user was indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet of a banned user - for more details, please see Contributor copyright investigations/ItsLassieTime.

, with help from, has since made sure that the language used in Miss Moppet does not closely paraphrase or copy that in the original sources, and checked almost all of the sources used to make sure the facts cited are backed up by the sources. We are now asking all editors who contributed to the FAC to please review the article and comment at Talk:The Story of Miss Moppet on any concerns or issues they have with the current cleaned-up version of the article.

Hey dude. Thanks for helping out at WP:FLC promotion-wise, and of course, many many thanks for all your contributions to the process. Any chance you could have a look at the following and review/promote if you're happy? Cheers.


 * List of Buso Renkin episodes
 * Order of battle of the Battle of Long Island
 * Jesse Owens Award
 * List of World Heritage Sites of the United Kingdom

Also, ageing FLRCs that ought to be addressed:

Alberto Davila
Hi Giants2008... I noticed you have added a bunch of references to the previously unreferenced BLP Alberto Davila. You may be aware that the DYK project has recently adopted a new rule, allowing DYK nominations for newly-referenced BLPs with only a two-fold expansion. As you hae already done the referencing work, I thought I'd mention that expanding the article and finding a hook would make the article eligible for DYK. Perhaps you are interested. Regards, EdChem (talk) 08:03, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

FLC
I'm sure reminders are unnecessary but I'm just (cheekily) wondering if you can bump my FLC up your list as I'll be off-wiki long term shortly and I'd like to get any issues (like reliable sourcing) sorted before Jujutacular takes over the FLC in absentia. Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk)  00:40, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * General ref replaced. Care to revisit. Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk)  15:09, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi Giants2008 - Could you please return to your comments at the Welding FAR (review page located at WP:Featured article review/Welding/archive1)? Quite a bit of work has been done on the article, so if you could review the changes and leave an update with your vote, it would be much appreciated. Thanks! Dana boomer (talk) 15:27, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Hate being pushy... but...
... if you get a chance, could you do something with the following (comments are "my opinion" and are meaningless, other than to allow me to recall what I thought at the time):
 * Rihanna discography FLRC - no clear consensus to demote.
 * List of Survivor contestants FLRC - besides Giants' minor RS question, no reason to demote.
 * List of Kylie Minogue concert tours FLRC - no work done, demote.
 * Timeline of discovery of Solar System planets and their moons FLRC - some work but no real commitment to modern standards.

FA level review, please?
I noticed that you addressed the unreferenced BLP to Shigeaki Hattori and I see that you like to comment on FA candidates for sports articles. I have improved the Alan Kulwicki article and it failed to be promoted once. I still need to clean up the deadlinks in the references but otherwise I think the article is ready for another run once this cleanup is addressed. I'd give a penny for your thoughts - Do you think that the article is ready for another attempt at FA? If you do accept my challenge, I'd appreciate if you'd leave comments on the article's talk page.  Royal broil  12:47, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
