regarding Esperanza
Hi, Kaypoh. Don't worry, the whole Esperanza debate thing is not your fault. In fact, I really don't know whose fault it is anymore. You did bring up a good point regarding community bulding, though, and I do thank you for your support for my paragraph.--Ed  ¿Cómo estás? 19:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, your first contributions are amazing! You look like you've learned the ropes really quickly. Would you like to consider adoption? I would be happy to adopt you.--Ed  ¿Cómo estás? 19:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I read a lot of policy pages before I made my first edit, but I want to learn more. Go ahead and adopt me. :) When will the paragraph on community building be added? --Kaypoh 07:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Warning vandals
Hey there. Thanks for wanting to help out fighting vandalism. If you're going to spend some time doing this, I think it's important for you to read over Vandalism. It will help you recognize vandalism more easily, and just as importantly, recognize when something was not vandalism, so that you don't end up scaring away a potential editor.

The warning system is explained on that page as well. If you use Firefox, the WP:TWINKLE script makes vandalism reversion and warnings almost automatic. It's what I use. It also automates the reporting of the vandal at Administrator intervention against vandalism. (I'll be watching this page, so you can continue a conversation here.)Sancho 15:57, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the links. I need to sleep. We'll continue the conversation tomorrow, OK? :) --Kaypoh 16:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * See you later. Sancho 16:04, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. :) I tried to warn two vandals with the warnings at the link you gave me, did I do it right? I have a question about RC patrol. Every time I go to RC patrol, I always have to set the namespace to main and hide logged-in users. Can I make Wikipedia remember it so I don't have to keep changing the settings every time? That would make RC patrol much faster. --Kaypoh 15:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)


 * A couple of things... you're using PageName, but you should actually replace PageName with the name of the article that you're correcting for, like Ross Anderson . That will make the correct link in the message that appears on the editor's talk page. Also, it looks like the correction you made at was actually not vandalism... I think, and you warned the user that you reverted back to  (see 91.152.231.40). You're on the right track though :-) Sancho 16:42, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I see what happened. 88 wanted to add some info, that I didn't see. I only saw the whitespace he added in that edit. He removed the whitespace and I reverted his edit at the same time. So I removed the information he added. I think I have to be more careful to make sure I revert the correct vandal. :( --Kaypoh 23:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I tried warning an IP user who vandalised the PARAM article. There's so much vandalism from IP users, I read somewhere that they do 97% of vandalism. Why do you allow IP edits? And how do I make Wikipedia remember that I want to hide logged-in users and only show mainspace edits when I RC patrol? --Kaypoh 13:07, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You can use this link instead of the default recent changes link to get the subset of changes that you're interested in. As to why we allow IP edits... there are probably a few reasons. It is principle decided by the foundation (see Foundation issues), and the fact that "You can edit this page right now" is a core guiding check on everything that we do. (from User:Jimbo Wales). This project was supposed to avoid as much as possible having a hierarchy of editors or elites. Giving anonymous users as many privileges as can be given without doing irreparable harm to the project is in line with this goal and demonstrates the openness of this project to newcomers. Sure, this is a trade-off between openness of the project and leaving the project susceptible to vandalism, but I think it is worth it. The continued efforts of editors like yourself make this trade-off possible. That statistic of 97% of the vandalism being from IP editors is interesting, but it would also be important to know what percentage of constructive edits come from IP editors... and how many long-time registered users began as IP editors. Sancho 22:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your comments on jimbo wales' talk page
i have responded on jimbo wales' talk page to the questions you asked. (Mandy122 10:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC))

Plot references
Hello. Plot sections do not need references. The primary source is clearly the the subject of the article. The JPS talk to me  10:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You didn't have to start bloody FARs. Alientraveller 11:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's one way of putting it, yes ;) The JPS talk to me  12:14, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I was surprised when I saw no references in the Plot sections of movie FAs. The policies are confusing. :( So Plot sections don't need references, because we assume the movie is the reference? Then how does somebody who did not watch the movie check whether the info there is correct? What if some crank adds nonsense to the Plot section? Alientraveller, you don't have to be bloody incivil (or uncivil?) :P --Kaypoh 12:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * But that's like citing a book, and then complaining that how is someone who hasn't access to that book supposed to know it's correct. Sources must be verifiable, and the primary sources here are. Someone might not have seen the films, but they have the ability to do so if they so wish, just as someone who really wants to verify a print reference might have to take a trip to a large library. The JPS talk to me  15:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Some aspects of a plot summary would need references. Commentary about the plot or interpretation about the state of mind of the characters would need reference. For example, if you add "surprisingly", or "to his amazement", etc. For example, in the story summary of The Terminator, I would support changing the line, The key difficulty in Reese's mission is that beneath the Terminator's organic shell lies an extremely durable artificial skeleton that can sustain a considerable amount of damage to beneath the Terminator's organic shell lies an extremely durable artificial skeleton that can sustain a considerable amount of damage. There were other difficulties for Reese... how can we say what the key difficulty is? Sancho 16:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The answer really is to keep the plot purely descriptive and avoid such adjectival phrases, or what alludes to OR. Interpretation shouldn't really be in the plot section. The JPS talk to me  16:41, 6 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Of course plot sections need references. Otherwise what is written would be original research. Everything needs a reference if it is challenged by another editor. Until(1 == 2) 19:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

WP:POINT
You accused me of a violation of WP:POINT here. Where have I been disruptive? What point do you think I am trying to make? Please explain this accusation. I will do my best to address your concerns. Until(1 == 2) 18:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * No response? Fine, if you don't want to explain your accusations, then please keep them to yourself. Until(1 == 2) 13:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk Page
Hi Kaypoh: I noticed that you decided to take the Village Pump discussion of the "+" to the next stage and to effect the change proposed. Did you actively decide not the do the name with the other proposal in the same thread, to change "Discussion" to "Talk", or did you not find a consensus to change? (I apologize, but I don't know how to link to the specific archive.) I'll watch here for an answer. Thanks you. Bielle 16:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, your question is confusing. --Kaypoh 01:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps the question is confusing because I was/am confused myself. Bureaucrat Andre has explained what I needed to know, though I didn't much like the answer. Thanks anyway Bielle 02:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Email?
Hi, Kaypoh; would you be willing to enable your email briefly? I'd like to ask you a question that I'd prefer not to post to Wikipedia. If not, no problem -- it's not urgent. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk) 18:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

You could have done this yourself, if you wanted. Just letting you know ( Martinphi  (Talk Ψ Contribs) 02:23, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I strike out my oppose again. OK? --Kaypoh 14:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Colbert Report FAC
Hi, I've been working on The Colbert Report featured article nomination. I've tried to address your expanded objections to the article, and wondered if they had been entirely addressed, or if there is anything else in the article that needs work. Thanks, --Jude. 15:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Beyond
Just a note to let you know I have now broken out a separate "Reception" section in the Beyond Fantasy Fiction article, as you suggested at the FAC discussion. I also found one more source that gives a critical opinion of the magazine and have added that. Would you take another look and let me know what you think? Thanks. Mike Christie (talk) 15:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Kaypoh, I see you haven't been very active recently, but if you do log on, this is another request for you to let me know if I've managed to answer your objections here. Thanks.  Mike Christie (talk) 16:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

The Make-Up FAC
You commented a while ago on The Make-Up FAC (nom page), but merely added a comment rather than give a support/oppose vote. I'm having trouble getting the article looked at (so far it's only garnered one support vote), so I was wondering if you could look at the article again and maybe vote one way or the other if you feel strongly about it. I know you don't owe the FAC anything, and I appreciated your initial comment very much, but the FAC has been going for a month now and I'd like to get it wrapped up. No pressure, just thought I'd ask. Thanks either way, and keep up the good work! Drewcifer 00:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

"party 2"
In response to your procedural question on Requests for arbitration, terms like "{party 2}" are just placeholders in the template. Sometimes a case is based on a dispute between two editors, and it makes sense for the statements by those two editors to come ahead of statements by third parties (unless they are responding to allegations by others, in which case what they are responding to might be left first to make the thread easier to follow). In other cases, where one editor's or administrator's conduct is at issue, it really makes no difference who writes what in which order. Basically, any editor with something to say can add a statement or comment and the arbitrators consider them all. So in answer to your original question, there is no specific person designated as "party 2" in this case, but I see that several editors have offered their opinions, which is fine.

GA nomination of "Flag of Singapore"
Hi, you failed the GA nomination for "Flag of Singapore" on the following grounds: "Lead section is too short. Some sections, like 'Display of non-Singaporean national emblems', are very difficult to understand. Good references, but no references in 'Other flags of Singapore' section."

My comments are as follows: Pending your further comments on the matter (please post them at "Talk:Flag of Singapore", kindly put the GA nomination on hold rather than failing it. Thanks. &mdash; Cheers, Jack  Lee  –talk • contribs • count– 13:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree that the lead section is too short. It is meant to be an overview of the article, not to repeat substantial portions of what is in the article.
 * You say that "[s]ome sections" are "very difficult to understand", but have not explained which sections (except for one) and why. In my view, they are understandable, including the section "Display of non-Singaporean national emblems" that you singled out.
 * I do not think references are needed in the "Other flags of Singapore" section. For more information, readers can click on the links to read other articles, such as "President of Singapore" and "Republic of Singapore Navy".

FAR
Please only nominate one FAR at a time. We do not have the resources to cope with more than one per nominator. Thanks. DrKiernan 10:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, by the way, I should also have said: Can you please follow the instructions at WP:FAR to notify involved editors and relevant WikiProjects with Articlename and leave a summary of notifications at the top of the review page? Thanks. DrKiernan 12:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry. :( How do I find who to notify, and how to notify them? --Kaypoh 15:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The instructions are at the top of the WP:FAR page. You notify (with the subst message) all WikiProjects listed on the talk page, the original nominator (identified in the FAC in the article history) and all involved editors (identified in the article stats link supplied in the instructions).  Then, following the sample on other FARs, list the notifications back at the top of the FAR.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 15:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I was just coming here to request the same; Kaypoh, you've nominated three articles at FAR, but you haven't done the notifications. Also, one FAR at a time is the norm, so that you can keep up with the notifications, followup, etc. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 14:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Four nominations at once is a lot for anyone to follow: I removed the last one (Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore)).  Please consider re-submitting it after the others are processed.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 15:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * How long do you take to process a FAR? Moreschi said "Edit-warring will not be a problem." So if that article is OK, you can process that one faster and put the Mass Rapid Transit FAR back. Do you agree that the Premier League, Macintosh and Mass Rapid Transit articles have big problems? --Kaypoh 15:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Each FAR is at least a month; we don't process any of them "faster". Some FAR regulars may be able to follow and shephard four FARs at once, but it's a stretch for just about anyone.  I'm not questioning whether the article is within featured status (in fact, I haven't even looked yet); the problem is that you've nominated four at once, and haven't yet done the notifications on even the first one, so you haven't shown that you're able to shephard four nominations at once.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 15:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I did not notify because I did not know how to. I will go and notify the editors and WikiProjects now. Check that I do it right. --Kaypoh 15:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Moved from Premier League FAR:
 * OK. Now I will notify the editors and WikiProjects for Macintosh. For India, I'm not sure because Moreschi says "Edit-warring will not be a problem" and if he is correct then we can process the FAR faster and put the FAR for Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) back (and I will do the notifications for that). For now, can you please comment about the article and the problems? --Kaypoh 15:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * What has this got to do with the article? Is this in the right place? Woodym555 15:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Kaypoh, we don't process any FAR "faster"; all FARs last a least a month, with the goal of improving the article so it can retain featured status. We notify all involved parties with the goal of improving the article. The notifications so far look good. FARs take a month at least; we will all have time to comment. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 16:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. I need to sleep now, so I cannot do the notifications for India. Can you do them for me? I don't know if I can go online tomorrow. I hope you can comment about the articles and the problems. And if its clear that edit-warring is not an issue and the India article meets FA standards, do you really need to wait one whole month to finish the FAR? --Kaypoh 16:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Another question. I see you removed the FAR for Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) because I nominated too many articles for FAR at once. When the three FARs finish, how do I continue the Mass Rapid Transit FAR? The problems are still there. And good night. --Kaypoh 16:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We never speedily remove featured status; please review the instructions at the top of WP:FAR. I don't know if I will have time today to do the nominations for you; I've already spent a lot of my morning trying to clean up these noms.  I'll try, no promises.  When you're ready to re-nominate Mass Transit, the process is the same.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 16:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No, I mean, can you speedy keep featured status if the concerns are wrong or the problems are small and faster fixed? I think you can as Joelito just did that for India. What do you mean, the process is the same? I have to go and add the FAR tag to the talk page again, type out all the problems in a new page again, put a link to the new page in the FAR page again and notify the editors and WikiProjects? --Kaypoh 06:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, unfortunately, although you wouldn't need to type out or create the page again, as you could just use the old one with a new timestamp. DrKiernan 09:27, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I have closed the India FAR. I do not feel that arguments warranting a FAR had been brought. Furthermore, FAR is not mediation. We can discuss this further if you like in my talk page or in the FAR talk page. Joelito (talk) 01:22, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Re : Mass Rapid Transit
You should have brought the concerns to the article's talkpage before going straight to FARC. Whilst it is not currently on FARC, a few other editors and myself would like to like to address your concerns here first :


 * The "Station facilities, amenities and services", "Fares and tickets" and "Architecture and art on the MRT" sections have only 2 references. FAs need more references.
 * IMO "Station facilities and services" is sufficiently referenced. (At least 5) - Mailer Diablo (talk) 08:20, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * For the rest, working on it. - Mailer Diablo 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * "The current MRT network" section has a huge whitespace and no text, only images. Move the images somewhere else.
 * It should also show the list of current lines, are you able to see in your current browser? Anyway, ✅ I've stripped some of the redundant images. - Mailer Diablo 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The lead section is weak. For example, these two sentences: "While this figure pales in comparison to the bus network's 2.785 million, it was a 76% increase on 1995 (0.760 million), while the bus network saw an 8.1% drop in ridership in the same period. This trend is expected to continue as current policies promote the expansion of the rail network at the expense of bus services, which are withdrawn or reduced to avoid duplication of services." And this one: "These operators also run bus and taxi services, thus ensuring that there is a full integration of public transport services." Why are
 * In what way it is weak? And please complete your question. - Mailer Diablo 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ Removed. - Mailer Diablo (talk) 13:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Why is there a section named "Safety on the MRT" and a section named "Security on the MRT"? Can you make these two sections into one section?
 * Safety ≠ Security! Safety is w.r.t. to how action is taken to prevent accidents within the system, while security is w.r.t to issues such as terrorism and crime. Besides, to merge the sections would be too long and these two sections have their own separate articles. - Mailer Diablo 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The section names are too long.
 * ✅ Stripped of "on the MRT" et ali. - Mailer Diablo 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Some references, for example 6, 34 and 43 have formatting problems.
 * ✅ Fixed. - Mailer Diablo 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The green and yellow logo, the image of the farecard and the image of the ez-link card has no fair use rationale. And why is the image of the sign placed in the References section?
 * Rationale to be added. For the sign, ✅ see point 2.
 * ✅ Rationales added. Magnetic farecard substituted by another free-use. - Mailer Diablo 13:53, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

--Best regards, Mailer Diablo 13:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

If you fix all the problems, there is no need to put the article back on FAR. My question is "Why are these sentences in the lead section when the rest of the article does not talk about it?"

And maybe the section name "Station facilities, amenities and services" is too long. --Kaypoh (talk) 02:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ Reduced. - Mailer Diablo (talk) 08:17, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

The referencing is GA standard, but not FA standard. The article also needs a copy-edit, especially the lead section. Please don't ask me to copyedit, I suck at English. --Kaypoh (talk) 12:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ Copyedit requested. Will perform one myself. - Mailer Diablo (talk) 13:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * You improved the article a lot. Now add a lot of references. FA standard referencing = almost one reference per sentence, all paragraphs must have references. If you add enough references, after a good copy-edit, I think there is no need to have an FAR. --Kaypoh (talk) 10:22, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll need to drop by Victoria Street this weekend. I recall certain sections rely heavily on paper sources that are included in the References section, it just need to cite the page numbers properly. - Mailer Diablo (talk) 17:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Preuss School Peer Review
Hi. You recently added a number of useful comments to the peer review for The Preuss School UCSD. I have since responded and was wondering if you could take another look and either make further suggestions or reconsider your oppose. I understand if you are unable to at this time, don't sweat it. At any rate, cheers! SorryGuy 18:54, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * In just realized I said peer review. I meant FAC if it were not clear. At any rate, that has now been closed. However, I would still be interested in your response to my responses and if you have any further ways to improve the article. Thanks. SorryGuy 07:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

USS Illinois (BB-65)
I have taken a stab at addressing you concerns on the FAC page, but there were a few I could not answer because you did not specify exactly what was wrong. Could you clarify you objections on the FAC page so I can address them? TomStar81 (Talk) 22:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello, as the user who nominated the article, I'd also like to ask you to revisit your objections here: Featured article candidates/USS Illinois (BB-65). Thanks, -MBK004 (talk) 20:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Knights of the Nine FAC
You did not say much, and I did not say much in return. I ask for clarification; without clarification, nothing can be done. Thank you for your time! Geuiwogbil (Talk) 16:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

More FARs
Hello, I see a few more FAs which are not FA standard and I created FARs for them. But I did not put the FARs on the main FAR page or do the notifying because Macintosh is still on FAR and Premier League is on FARC. When can I put the new FARs on the main FAR page? After Macintosh moves to FARC or after Macintosh and Premier League finish FARC? I think I can try to shephard three FARs at one time. --Kaypoh (talk) 07:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When the FAR page gets up around three dozen, it becomes hard for reviewers to give quality attention to each article. It's at 37 now, and I see Marskell added a backlog template.  Another thing to consider is the topic area of the article, so you don't overextend the same group of editors who might want to restore the articles.  If there are other noms in the same topic area, it's better to hold off.  I have run three at a time at times when FAR was very slow (under 28 or so) and when the articles were in different topic areas, not already present at FAR, and after I had given prior notification on those article talk pages.  I suggest waiting until the other two are well into FARC to see if there are attempts at improving them, in which case you may have to do more "shepharding".  Have you left a list on the article's talk pages, detailing issues that should be addressed, to see if editors will begin the work without a FAR?  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 14:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I see you added a FAR to Talk:FIFA World Cup that is not listed at WP:FAR. It's either under review or not; if it is under review, it needs to be listed at FAR.

Your GA nomination of Ayyavazhi
Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Ayyavazhi you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. There are to begin with some spelling and grammatical errors. And the Manual of style issues on the peer review also need to be addressed. How much time do you have, or do you see the grammar corrections as minor or major for your time frame? I am trying to determine whether to continue and place the article on hold or whether to fail the article as the improvements needed are lengthy. As you can get to them, you or I can place a strike through the completed ones. If you wish to re-nominate later, I can step down as reviewer and assist with grammar, Manual of Style and spelling if you wish and you can place it for GAR to a different reviewer.

Your GA nomination of Manga

If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a reassessment. Before doing so, however, I would strongly recommend discussing things with the editors that are involved with that article. Looking at the talk page, it seems you caught them by surprise, and the article definitely shows that it was by no means ready for a GA nomination. I would also encourage you to be involved in the articles which you nominate - this will help prevent failures such as this and improve the articles, which is really what the GA process is all about.

GA nomination
I've noticed that you've nominated a large number of articles for GA. As I'm sure you know, there is a large backlog at the GAN page. If you could, say, review an at least one article every time you nominate an article, that would help a lot. Thanks. Noble Story (talk) 12:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You now have 15 nominations for GA. Do you mind taking on just one review or so? Noble Story (talk) 02:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * What I do is find articles that just failed FAC, or passed A-class review in some WikiProjects, then read the articles and check whether the articles are good enough for GA. If I think the articles are good enough for GA, I nominate the articles. Yes, I know there is a backlog at GAN. I try to nominate more when the backlog is smaller and less when the backlog is bigger. But my English is not that good and I don't know anything about how to review articles. --Kaypoh (talk) 03:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bring this back up, but your nominations have been discussed once more by the people at GA Nominations. I have to question, that you say you do not understand English well enough to review an article.  But if that is so, how do you know if an article is good enough to be nominated for GA?  Certainly your lack of English skills would prevent you from fully understanding the article, especially its grammar and such.  So how can you actually judge if an article is worthy of being nominated for GA? The359 (talk) 03:00, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

However, I had not asked for a review for GA or FA yet because my schedule doesn't allow me to fix up the details that would need to be done to qualify it. The article now is on hold for 7 days to allow these fixes - was it your intention that you would be making these fixes (references, links, etc.)?

Excessive GA nominations
Hello Kaypoh -- It seems you've nominated about 20 articles under the Law category for Good Article Nominations. I'm a bit concerned about this, especially about how you can respond to 10-20 simultaneous article reviews at the same time. I'd suggest removing most of the GA nominations, and focus on two or three that you are really working on. I hope this helps ease the process in improving your articles!

Would you mind postponing some GA nominations?
Kaypoh: You've nominated 20 or 30 articles for GA at WP:GAN. I'm glad that you are contributing so much. However, that volume of articles is clogging up some parts of GAN, and other articles are waiting in the line behind yours. Would you mind reducing the number of nominations down to a smaller number, like 4 to 8? Then, as some articles are promoted to GA, feed more nominations in, gradually? Thanks. --Noleander (talk) 20:11, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Slow down? Can. What is important is help articles that already GA standard or very close, get GA status. For Wikipedia, not for me. Can help fight systemic bias, ask Law WikiProject to help and ask Singaporean editors to help (Hildanknight say on Jacklee talk page that he can help, Chensiyuan has honours degree in law). Not fair to call me the disruptive user and disqualify articles that already GA standard or very close, only because I nominate the articles. --Kaypoh (talk) 06:41, 21 January 2012 (UTC)


 * The nominated articles seem to be of good quality and many are probably close to passing. You are right that it is important to help these articles, but that doesn't stop at nominating them. You need to respond to any reviews that are conducted. It will take many reviewers an hour or more to review the articles and it would be a waste of their time if no one responds to their concerns. This raises an issue with nominating so many; if multiple reviews are conducted at once it is going to be difficult for the respondents to keep up. It would be polite to ask the main editors of an article whether they think it is ready for nomination before doing so, especially if you expect them to respond to the review, as they may not have much time available at the moment.

 * 1) The article must be evaluated in consideration of the quantity of information available, not desirable.
 * 2) You first may ask the nominator if all information related to the article is in the article.
 * 3) The only 6 reasons to quickfail an article are documentet here, so you must check if the article falls inside one of those before failing it.
