Hyderabad FAC
Hi, We had fixed the corrections which you adviced at Hyderabad FAC, But unfortuately we could not find any accurate data about the Hyderabad demographics prior to 1971. Could you please have a look and advice. Thanks and Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 05:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Talkback
Hi, all of your points have been addressed. — AARON  &bull; TALK   10:29, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Actually........
Come to think of it, I have Phoenix (constellation) up at WP:GAN. I think I have the comprehensiveness more or less right, but I find these constellation articles tricky to get the prose to be more engaging. Given you are (a) interested in engaging prose, and (b) happy to be quite critical, then I think it'd be good for you to take a look at it if you have the time and inclination.

KFC
Thanks for your comments regarding KFC. I have effected all of your suggestions. Farrtj (talk) 14:32, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOUR RFC
There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:34, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

another one.....
Ive now buffed Pavo (constellation) like Phoenix and nominated it at GAN too. The review you put into the last one was excellent. I'll in return start sifting through some more FACs - generally from the bottom up. Actually this one is interesting - am trying to get my head around at Featured article candidates/Throffer/archive1 Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:40, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anne Judell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Victoria (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

KFC FA nomination
Hi, I was wondering if you would be willing to support my KFC FA nomination. Cheers. Farrtj (talk) 14:09, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

The Age source for "Goodbyeee"
Hi, I know that you added a source to the "Goodbyeee" article from The Age, and the topic has been raised in the FA nom of whether the American spelling "favorite" is correctly quoted. I find this unlikely as I believe the British spelling is used in Australia as well. I would appreciate it if you could help clear this matter up as I don't have access to this source. Thanks, ajmint  (talk•edits) 21:14, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I have responded at FAC. To my great surprise, the US English spelling was indeed used! hamiltonstone (talk) 02:11, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Sea FAC
Thank you for the work you have put into trimming various bits of the "Humans and the sea" section, and for adding the final quote to round the article off. Since the review started we have made great efforts to try to please a number of reviewers with differing views by adding, removing, explaining and altering the article. I don't think you have stated what you think of the article as a whole and whether you believe it reaches the FA criteria. As things stand, I am somewhat doubtful whether it will ultimately be successful. Three users have given their support, but they are not the ones who have been most involved in pointing out its deficiencies and suggesting improvements. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:01, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm continuing to engage there, but haven't done an end to end read through, and am watching the improvements in response to Snowman's comments (many of which I agreed with, such as regarding carbon cycle), despite our disagreement on some points. Will stick around and may express a view down the track (accepting that the track may be somewhat short :-)) hamiltonstone (talk) 01:30, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

If you have time.....
Triangulum passed GA and I am tinkering with it a bit - if you had a few seconds to point out the most monotonous bits and help examine the prose for engagingness to nonastronomers, that would be great :) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 18:19, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
 * May depend on progress at Sea and elsewhere, but will try. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:30, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Pedro Afonso of Brazil
Sorry for what I said at the FAC. I was led by a misunderstanding.

About the article itself, I have to be honest that the way it was before it couldn't pass. The article had too many errors that others failed to pick. --Lecen (talk) 13:08, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. It does seem that there was an issue with mistakes. It is a struggle for reviewers on the English WP assessing articles with a significant range of non-English language sources (and offline as well). Hopefully, this will get resolved in the article's favour. Cheers, hamiltonstone (talk) 23:12, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOUR for Constance Stokes


On a similar theme... Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Constance Stokes to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA you may have helped to write) appear as "Today's featured article" soon, please nominate it at the requests page; if you'd like to see an FA on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with 1,336 articles in Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks, BencherliteTalk 11:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Redback spider nominated at FAC
This FAC was not as well prepared by me and 99of9 as it should have been, and has been open a long time - Given you've been good at examining prose for engaging-ness and are probably a lay-reader when it comes to spiders, I wondered if you could have a look at this article - we do have a bit of a dilemma on how deeply to go into treatment and antivenom and how much could be left to daughter articles (latrodectism and antivenom). Snowmanradio found alot of issues which I think we've just about all sorted, but a complete outside set of eyes would be good - and brutal honesty appreciated...cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:04, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Have you seen article on Vincent Girls' High School? Is there any info that would show this is/is not tha same Florence Fuller? Richard Bruce Bradford (talk) 08:23, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Very good question, but I think not - in 1911 Fuller was going to England, not leaving it, and I have no record of her being a school teacher, so it does not seem to fit. hamiltonstone (talk) 10:19, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Perseus (constellation) Comment
Turns out the childrens' book author (Staal) actually translated a seminal work by Schlegel on chinese constellations, which I have borrowed from UNSW library. My French is terrible and rudimentary at best, still the Schlegel book is full of maps and it is easy to figure out the prose. Anyway, worked on this, added some other facts to link the prose from one topic to the next better, and have renominated at FAC. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 02:25, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

FA Review
Hi Hamiltonstone, Thanks for your comments on the review of St James' Church, Sydney. I believe I have addressed them and more importantly, I have been referencing it like a maniac. Do you think it is right now? Is there anything else I should be doing? Thanks. Whiteghost.ink (talk) 23:37, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
 * hi whiteghost, I will be properly back on deck in about four days, and will have a proper look then. Don't want to do substantive editing or reviewing from Mobile device, sorry! hamiltonstone (talk) 21:59, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I too have just returned to a desktop, having struggled with a mobile device over the Christmas period. I think I have fixed all the problems you identified and many more noted by User:Mirokado who now supports it for FA. The process has certainly made the article better. I hope you think it's wonderful! :) (Or at least satisfactory.) Whiteghost.ink (talk) 09:26, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your congratulations on getting the article to FA. Finally made it! Your detailed attention certainly made me lift my game (it did feel like an Olympic event for a while there) and I learned a lot. I also had a self-imposed deadline and was away for a time after that. I might start on another one ... don't hold your breath ... heaven knows how long it will take!
