Re: Out again
Best Grand Tour in a while; no Italians on a Giro podium for first time since the mid '90s! To think the start of the Tour is just under five weeks away... will be hard to beat! Oh, and we await your return! Craig (talk)  18:28, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * And a Canadian won! There were some entertaining ping-pong exchanges between me and wolfe, since he likes Rodriguez and I am a Canuck, so I love Hesjedal and did for a long time! Just started the 2012 Critérium du Dauphiné. I gotta say, you both welcomed me well and that's a big part of the reason why I edit a lot more than before (well I didn't for a year almost). Hope you come back too! :) Mattaidepikiw   (Talk)  19:41, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to review the article for GA purposes. You would think that someone with a law degree (and going after his 2nd one to boot!) wouldn't write so terribly...Then again, there's a reason that my professors usually leave my papers bleeding in a sea of red ink ;). I have made the changes as outlined in your review and hope to have the article achieve GA status soon. Again, thank you. I truly appreciate you taking the time!

 * Give yourself a little credit - the article was big and in generally good shape as was. I just do very thorough reviews, above and beyond the actual GA standards (you'll notice a few of my remarks I said they weren't actually required for GA status). I'll return to the article later this afternoon, after the Giro concludes. Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 11:26, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome. By the way, what recommendations do you have for the ALT Text in the images? I'm drawing a blank there. Also, if I did not sufficiently revise something in the article as per your review, please let me know...I've tried to follow it like a script and may have missed a thing or two. I see that you're no longer very active on Wiki, so no rush or anything (you've done quite a bit of work as it is with the article. Thanks again!  Swcrowe  message 20:58, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

WP Cycling in the Signpost
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Cycling for a Signpost article scheduled to coincide with the Tour de France and the start of the Summer Olympics. As part of our special "Summer Sports Series", this publicity could give you an excellent opportunity to draw attention to the project's efforts and attract new members. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 14:34, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This one? Can't say I'm one for interviews if I'm honest. Craig  (talk)  11:34, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Me neither :o) Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 11:40, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * We totally like staying in the background! Craig  (talk)  12:15, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I hope you'll reconsider. Other editors may be able to learn from your experiences and improve other WikiProjects. You don't have to answer all the questions at the interview page and it doesn't require a lot of time or effort. I'd really like to see WikiProject Cycling represented in the Signpost this year. -Mabeenot (talk) 15:31, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. It's just not something I was ever interested in. The Cycling WikiProject is not exactly one that others should look up to in terms of community teamwork and such, either. Lots of lone wolves (no pun intended) in WP:CYC. Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 16:22, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ho ho, I see what you did there! ;) I answered your yellow bib query on the Tour talkpage. Just a friendly reminder here too... haha! Craig  (talk)  16:00, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

FAR
Hi Green-eyed girl. I noticed that you recently nominated an article for FAR, but skipped the required post to the article's talk page. I've posted there on your behalf - if there is no response in the next week or two, feel free to readd the nomination. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:30, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * So...what do I do now? Can that mediocre-at-best article finally be sent to Review, or...what? Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 16:21, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I did a check — this has way more than 3 dead links. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:56, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Terrific, thanks. It's obvious I've never done that before. I'm not quite sure how I happened onto the article, but it was very obvious to me that it needed a lot of work to retain the FA star. Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 13:50, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Taiwan olympics
You beat me to the punch on recording the medal. Yeah, Taiwan... ludahai 魯大海 (talk) 16:17, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I do hate edit conflicts myself :P But yeah, I was watching the event live and updated as it finished. I'm not terribly active on WP anymore, but the Olympics is something that will get me to crawl out of my shell :D Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 16:19, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Re:Leopard 2011
I do hope the review will come along more than it already has! I'll pass the baton back to you for this one; full-time work during the Olympics means time is limited for yours truly! Craig (talk)  22:05, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of 2011 Leopard Trek season
The article 2011 Leopard Trek season you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:2011 Leopard Trek season for things which need to be addressed. Kürbis (✔) 17:59, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I would hope you wouldn't be dogmatic about the 7 day thing (it's not actually a codified rule), considering how long the article waited to get a review, but in any case I should get to it quicker than that. Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 18:00, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * And thank you. Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 18:00, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Feel free to fix my amendments, Alex; I just jumped in, on the very off-chance that you forgot. ;) Craig  (talk)  11:21, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I should get to it tonight :) There weren't too many remarks left, it shouldn't (didn't?) take too long. Green-eyed girl  ( Talk  ·  Contribs ) 18:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Wahey, another one to the list! :) Craig  (talk)  23:55, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
