Rotavirus review
Hi there Graham, I've left a couple of comments over at Talk:Rotavirus (and will add more soon). Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Graham, I've left a quite note on the FAC wrt restructuring. I should get a chance to scan the article again this evening before offering my opinion at FAC. Cheers, Colin°Talk 19:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Animal Testing
Please note on the animal testing page. References for everything are not necessary.

Hi Graham, sorry it took so long for me to go back and check your comments - it's a time difference thing - when you get up, I go to bed ;). I wish I could help fix the extremely minor comments myself, but it seems even my links may get reverted. Never mind! It looks good and I hope to see the article on FA soon!  That brings me around to Herpes simplex again.  I just put it up for peer review and wondered, if any comments come back, if you'd like to put your good skills to improving that article to FA - can't think of anyone better to ask!!!

A favor
Hey, Graham; I'm kind of swamped and wanted to ask you a favor. Remember the issue you had with trying to read an article about American football and get through all the lingo? I'm having the same issue with Ernie Toshack and Clem Hill on cricket. Do you play, know or understand cricket? I can't make heads nor tails of them. Do you have time to look at my comments on the FACs and help sort out some of the lingo, if you know cricket? In my case, it could be a combo of British English and not knowing cricket. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 19:21, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Sandy, I'll take at look at them. Graham. --Graham Colm Talk 19:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank, Graham; I'm really swamped and need someone knowledgeable and trusted to try to smooth out the issues there. Best, Sandy Georgia  (Talk)

Yes, thanks Graham, Monday's fine. I feel guilty now for triggering an oppose, but I guess it wasn't only me. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 21:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Graham and thanks for the review. I will address those points you made in the review this morning (in and around my responsibilities to my employer!). Growing up with cricket I find removing jargon from cricket articles the most difficult part of the entire FA process but it certainly improves the article no end. -- Mattinbgn\talk 21:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You're very welcome, and I know what you mean— (about your employer and the jargon!)— I struggle for months trying to make my virus articles jargon-free; and have failed.

Easter
Thanks for the message. Yes, the sun did shine but it was rather cold. Can we have Spring now please?

I'm glad you're watching Ketogenic diet as I will be asking you to critically review it later, if you wouldn't mind. At the moment, I think the prose is more a collection of facts than something enjoyably readable. There are also a few holes in the comprehensiveness-front that I should fill as I work through my sources. Bearing in mind its early stage of development, do you have any initial comments? (Don't spend long on this, as the text may change).

Colin°Talk 18:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Colin and welcome home. Your article is coming along very well. I've been dying to change this: A number of studies demonstrate to. Several studies have demonstrated.. but as you weren't around to ask, I left it alone:). I would feel honoured to review it for you and anything else I can help with of course. The clocks go forward at the weekend, so that should give the onset of spring a nudge. Nice to have you back. Graham. P.S. I'm waiting to see if the meds put Genetics in their trophy cabinet! --Graham Colm Talk 18:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought I already put it there ? Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 18:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * How did I miss that? Too much cricket perhaps :) --Graham Colm Talk 18:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Graham, I've revised the paragraph that contained the offending sentence. I was reluctant to ask someone to review at this stage as I didn't want to waste anyone's time on what might only be an early draft. But, of course, if you are "dying" to help then go ahead and improve. It would be useful to me, at this stage of producing the initial content, to know what you struggled with and what you found interesting or not. I suspect there may be text that contains (at that point) unexplained details or jargon. It is very hard to spot all the problems with one's own text. It would also be great to have someone to bounce ideas off of. For example, I'm wondering whether the photos are too static. I could take one showing a Ketostix being held against the scale, or pouring the Liquigen out of the bottle. If you have some ideas/comments, perhaps we could move this conversation over to the article talk page. Cheers, Colin°Talk 23:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Colin, yes let's move to article discussion page. Yet again, it's past my bedtime, but I will post a comment there about your piecharts. Graham. --Graham Colm Talk 23:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Review
Graham, do you have time to review Ima Hogg at FAC? Many of the active FAC reviewers worked on it, reducing the reviewer pool, and it needs an independent review. Best regards, Sandy Georgia (Talk) 18:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I now the article and I'll take another look. Graham.--Graham Colm Talk 19:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Date linking; methinks you're confused :-) Tell me where the confusion is and I'll try to help you sort it out.  Basically, what WP:MOSDATE says is that either you link all dates or you link no dates, and when you leave raw dates, the formatting must be consistent.  But when you link dates, you link all full dates (month day year) and all month day combos, as those need to work with user prefs.  Solo years and month year combos aren't linked, since those don't depend on user prefs.  Does that clear it up?  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 22:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You can understand this but you can't understand cricket! :-) Thanks, Graham.--Graham Colm Talk 22:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * I have re-structured the Lead, but the criticism is about more than then just the prose. There are concerns over the sequence of events and I'm worried that I might introduce lots of errors if I attempt to address the concerns. I think the principal editor needs to take another look at this. I'll drop a note on their talk page. Graham. --Graham Colm Talk 17:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Yet Another Request for Review
Hi there — SandyGeorgia pointed me to you as someone who's willing to give reviews of potential FACs, and I was wondering if you could take a look at 2005 ACC Championship Game when you have a spare moment. It's an article about a particular game of American football, and I'm interested in getting feedback on how understandable it is to someone who knows nothing about American football. Any comments or feedback you'd care to give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. JKBrooks85 (talk) 23:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes I will, I have some free time on Saturday, (it's getting close to midnight in the UK now), but please don't equate a person nowing zilch about American football with being a retard. :-) Best wishes, Graham. --Graham Colm Talk 23:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I appreciate it. JKBrooks85 (talk) 06:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've finished the review, and I hope it's useful.--Graham Colm Talk 14:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Most definitely. I really appreciate the time you spent on it, and if there's anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks a million. JKBrooks85 (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You are too generous, I wish I could have been more helpful. I would be happy to take another look whenever you want. Best wishes, Graham. --Graham Colm Talk 22:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Fantastic job! Your comments have definitely helped, and I was able to pick over a few more things that I should've changed earlier as well. If it's not too much trouble, could you take another look at it? I've responded to your comments on the article talk page, but there's a few outlying things that I wasn't sure about. In addition, I'm always available if you ever need someone who knows nothing about cricket to take a look at an article. :) Thanks again! JKBrooks85 (talk) 07:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Featured article candidates/Prague Spring
Hi, I believe I've addressed your concerns at Featured article candidates/Prague Spring, could you please take a second look? The Dominator (talk) 13:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Dominik, I haven't stopped looking.--Graham Colm Talk 13:50, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd just like you to note something. All of the examples you gave for your opposes are in pragraphs that were just added today or yesterday and haven't had a chance to be fixed. Themightyquill (god bless him) has expanded the article and his style is somewhat different from mine, he uses British spelling, I use American, he writes out the refs, I use citation templates. So these new additions have not been copyedited yet, but the rest of the article has, I will get Milkbreath, a good copyeditor who did the rest of the article, to copyedit the sections soon. If you have a problem with the article as a whole, just let me know, but from your oppose it seems that you saw many errors in this part of the article and assumed it was not thoroughly reviewed. The Dominator (talk) 22:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Dominik, when you were writing the above, I was revisiting your article and have given it my support. But please delete that bad reference, (which was number 40). This is an important article and it deserves the widest readership possible. So, I'm not going to let my nit-picking stand in its way to FA. Lastly, it doesn't matter if it is written in British or American English, but please be consistent. Best wishes and good luck. Graham. --Graham Colm Talk 22:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much, you mean the Russian protests reference right? The Dominator (talk) 23:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Rotavirus
Graham, congratulations on getting a shit article to the Main Page. Will we have to put up with any more of these crap subjects from you? Or have you made a rash decision to have something to eat first? Colin°Talk 16:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Colin, following all my problems right now I need a drink and something not too starchy to eat. Graham Colm Talk 18:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Rotavirus got over 33,000 hits in the last few days, plus 5.8 million main-page hits on the 7th. That's a lot of eyeballs. Colin°Talk 19:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

NewScientist (12 April 2008, p 7) cites PMID 18395579 as follows:
 * Gut bug busted
 * A vaccine tested in more than 15,000 infants in 10 Latin American countries successfully protected them against rotaviruses for their first two years of life. Only 32 infants fell ill in the group vaccinated with Rotarix, compared to 161 infants who did not receive the vaccine. (The Lancet, vol 371, p 1181). Rotaviruses cause fatal gut infections which kill half-a-million infants globally every year.

Since I'm planning to replace those pics, I wouldn't want you wasting too much time on them. I'm very keen to hear more comments from you on unclear text and such like. I may be able to give other editors a hard time over their prose, but that doesn't mean I'm able to knock out "brilliant prose" myself :-(.

Graham, no hurry. Enjoy your Guinness. Only had time to pop in today and similar tomorrow. I'll try to respond to any questions but revising the text may take longer. Now you've read through, have you any ideas about perhaps reorganising the sections? Did you see Sandy's message at WP:MED about readability metrics. Made me think about some of your comments about "non-encyclopaedic" language (which I fully agree with -- I expect a level of precise and formal prose from an encyclopaedia). In trying to sound formal, do we sometimes alienate our readers by picking big words? Achieving the right balance isn't easy. Colin°Talk 21:44, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

The KD features in today's Guardian. It features Matthew from the Matthew's Friends charity. Colin°Talk 12:33, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a good piece! (unlike that New Scientist rotavirus report). Are you planning to work a line or two into the article? Graham Colm Talk 12:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure. Perhaps the issues with a lack of dieticians and other support resources. But I can source some of that to this paper. The information Dr Cross gives, and the stats they have given, seem to be reported OK. If there are 60,000 children with medication-resistant epilepsy in the UK, and at most perhaps a dozen centres offering the KD in the UK, and the biggest of these can only manage 30 children at any one time, ... Do the maths. Colin°Talk 14:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * It's wonderfully nice to feel welcome and wanted at Wikipedia; rest assured my watchlist is watched. Graham Colm Talk 20:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Great! We're going to be discussing how the first mission went soon, and input from outside observers would be great: of course you are now part of the team, but I know you have seen what we are trying to do from the outside too, so your input would be especially cool.

Janet Jackson
hello,

another user gave the article a quick copy-edit. would you mind double checking to see if anything still needs attention after the clean up. Also, I'd rather keep the audio clips in tact for the time being. I'm working of gathering sources for commentary on Jackson's vocal/musical style and I dont want to have any important clips deleted in case i find exceptional analysis since I don't have the ability to create new clips. Thankyou for your time! Bookkeeperoftheoccult (talk) 09:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

2005 ACC Championship Game
About a month ago, you graciously reviewed the article 2005 ACC Championship Game for me. During the past month, I've upgraded the article and incorporated your suggestions. I've just recently resubmitted the article for featured article candidacy, and I'd appreciate it if you could take another look at the article to see if it now meets your FA standards. Any comments, questions, or support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. JKBrooks85 (talk) 22:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Yes, I'll take another look at the article on Saturday. Best wishes. Graham Colm Talk 10:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Changes have been made according to your suggestions. JKBrooks85 (talk) 06:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I've added my support, good luck. Graham Colm Talk 09:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Userpage redesign
Sure, though I'm not sure where to start... you got any ideas on what it should look like? Sceptre (talk) 19:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I thought you were too busy. Is there a better way of displaying my drawings other than using gallery? Can that picture of my study somehow go next to the portrait (age 15). And everytime I try to incorporate userboxes, they go all over the place. Whatever you can do I'm sure will be better than my feeble efforts. (You can see the user boxes I would like in the earlier versions). I'd like a nice border too! If you could fix this for me, I'll be your best friend for a week ;-). Graham.

FAR revisit
Featured article review/AIDS has been up for over a month now; would you mind revisiting concerns to discuss whether issues have been addressed, and to enter a Remove or Keep declaration as appropriate? Sandy Georgia (Talk) 22:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Good Morning Sandy, yes of course.--Graham Colm Talk 06:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Looks like TimVickers and OrangeMarlin have decided to engage and try to clean it up. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 19:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
