Triple Crown
Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work, especially on The Office (U.S. season 3) - Now that I've checked that out I'll have to go and rent it at some point.

Admin coaching
I would like to admin coach you after a quick look at your contributions. Please reply at my talk page (click the "15" in my signature) promptly.  bibliomaniac 1 5  Midway upon life's journey... 02:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Admin coaching is mostly checking to make sure that you understand the responsibilities of being an admin. It mostly consists of questions that you might encounter in an RFA. I've created a page for this here. Add it to your watchlist. I'll try to update promptly, but I might be behind. If I am, feel free to give me a nudge.  bibliomaniac 1 5  Midway upon life's journey... 02:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, I've given you rollback. It's a quick way to revert vandalism. Remember not to use it in edit disputes or on good faith edits. If you'd like to test it out, head over here.  bibliomaniac 1 5  Midway upon life's journey... 02:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Giving The Office project a boost
I have seen NBC's ads that new espiodes of the show will begin again on April 10. That leads naturally to thinking that that date would be a good one to run the article as the Main Page FA, especially now that we have the free image of the Scranton sign I took. Do you think it's ready? It would certainly help attract more editors to the project. I can go put it in the longterm queue now if you want. Daniel Case (talk) 16:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I wrote that before I realized it was in FAR. Between logins, I printed out a copy, took it to the laundry and went through it with a red pen. Which I used a lot.

But, the bright side is I believe it could be fixed well before the 10th. I will post about specifics to the article talk page and start implementing some of the corrections (The comment at the FAR about the season summaries is dead on ... there is no need for that much detail). I think we could easily turn it around before April even begins. Daniel Case (talk) 20:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The office epsidoes
Hi, if you look at other production codes, you will see they are different, for example, an episode of The Office with a production code of 4005, is essentaly season forty, episode, five. If it had a production code of 405, the episode is season 4, episode five. I would suggest looking a other t.v. show episode lists like Scrubs to see what I mean.

April GA Newsletter
The April issue of the WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter is now available. Dr. Cash (talk) 03:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Done?
I think you've demonstrated yourself to be a great potential admin, so I think I'll conclude our coaching. I don't want to nominate you immediately for RFA, because I would like you to keep working and gain more experience. You mentioned before that you wanted to pursue AIV and CSD when you become an admin, so I ask that you put some more focus on these areas. Remember to always be civil, prompt, and thorough when communicating. It was great coaching you, you are very experienced, and an RFA shouldn't be much trouble at all.  bibliomaniac 1 5  Hey you!

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:72058.jpg}
Thank you for uploading Image:72058.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Imperial triple crown jewels
Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work, especially on The Office (U.S. TV series) season 3 and The Office (U.S. TV series) season 1 - well-sourced lists that cover a lot of ground. May you wear the crowns well. Cirt (talk) 23:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

We lost
As I suppose you've noticed, we were unable to keep the gold star on The Office. Further issues were raised late in the game, many of which were valid but some of which ("too many pictures, even if they are free") were extremely picayune.

I could be bitter about this, but I'm not, and I think it will actually be a stronger FA (I'm aiming for a Main Page date of 9/27, when the next season premieres, which would really be the ideal date for the Main Page) by going through the whole PR/GA/FAC process that was either not present or skipped during the original nom. My current goal will be PR by the end of the month after addressing the lingering issues ... would you put something about this in the next newsletter? Daniel Case (talk) 15:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, in the meantime, I improved Dunder Mifflin enough to save it from one of those well-meaning AfDs, and I just nominated it for GA (I see you've got "Branch Wars" up, too). Daniel Case (talk) 14:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Branch Wars
Hello there Eustress! Just a short while ago, you quick-failed the article Branch Wars, which I had as a GAN, due to lack of references in the lead, plot, and production sections. While I agree with the lead/production section problems, which I have remedied shortly after you quick-failed the article, the plot section doesn't require sources due to the episode's ability to be used as a source. Since the quick-fail concerns have been remedied, I was wondering if you'd like to take another look and review the article. No problem if you can't or choose not to though, I can simply renominate the article. Have a good day, <span style="font-family:Lucida Calligraphy, sans-serif; color:DarkBlue">Mastrchf (t/c) 00:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did notice that later about the plot summaries and revised my GA review, but it did merit a quick-fail for the other two sections. Because it was failed, if you wouldn't mind re-nominating the article (we have to follow protocol, and if I nominate it, then I can't review it), then I'd be happy to revisit the article. Thanks. --Eustress (talk) 01:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Mast, I'm not sure if I did a good enough job of it on my oppose, but I really didn't oppose because of the goof user box. I was trying to make a point out your lack of back-and-forth conversation... I couldn't imagine having to deal with that box. As for your RfA, outside of the talk issues, you seem to be a great future candidate. Civil, good work, good participation in AfD, etc. This is coming from someone who has high admin standards as well. I don't like recommending withdrawal against solid contributors like yourself... but say if you get to 10 opposes before 10 supports, consider it. Once you participate in more conversation here, you will be a top candidate come three months. Biblio looks like he had the best intentions, but I feel you were nominated too quickly here, the talk issue was way too obvious... it was caught by Capital, Wisdom, and myself almost immediately after reviewing. I may make a seperate message to Biblio shortly. The reason I come here is to maybe preemptively console you if there is a pile on opposition due to talk issues... that will likely be the only reason people are opposing, and most of them will note that with work in that area, you will pass in RfA 2. Feel free to ask me questions on this, or flat out disagree :), but good luck to you in the future. Gwynand | Talk•Contribs 00:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

The Office cast names
I've looked through the descriptions and the vast majority of them do not list the cast names in the plot descriptions. Seeing that to be the case, I removed them for consistency's sake.

Re: A favor
I've copyedited the lead; by the looks of it, the article needs significant work. I recommend just withdrawing the FAC to give yourself time to work on the article without the added pressure of an ongoing FAC. Or, if you've got the time and the patience, then you can leave it open. However, if the article is already getting opposes this soon, then that definitely means a significant amount of work is required, and also that more opposes are likely to follow. Trust me, it's no fun working on an FAC that doesn't go well from the start – I speak from personal experience ;) Gary <b style="color:#02b;">King</b> ( talk ) 06:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Request
Hey, I've seen that you do a lot of copyediting, and I was wondering if you could help me. The article "Night Out" is up as an FAC, and a third party copyedit has been requested. If you get the time, could you copy edit it? It'd be a great help to me. - Copied from my talk page
 * Hi there! I normally don't copy edit FAC articles because I don't feel I'm familiar enough with the FAC criteria and the current consensus amongst more experienced editors about the language style of featured articles, but I'll take a look after the weekend (a little busy this weekend) to see if I can help.

 * Hey there. I just glanced through your article; it needs quite a bit of work in terms of language and sentence structure, because some portions read awkwardly. I will help copy edit it as far as I can, but I suggest posting it on WP:PR to get more help.- Samuel  Tan  08:02, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

DYK question
Perhaps you could explain in more detail this determination? I have been adding significantly to the article for the last week, and I think the expansion of the article has easily been 5x (compare this version to the most recent one here). Could you indicate your math, please? - Hexhand (talk) 20:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Again, I am not sure we are looking at the same article. I think the article has expanded drastically in the past week, and I think that if all you are looking at is edit history (wherein more than half the edits not mine were either vandalism or bits on spelling, etc.) or word count (which I think might be a bit misleading, as I've removed quite a bit of spurious and unfounded info from the article, replacing it with actual cited info), you might be missing the larger picture. Could you maybe have another look, please? - Hexhand (talk) 22:12, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * So, the actual point of DYK is to foment creation of new articles. Clearly, improving articles a lot isn't enough for eligibility, which doesn't really foster a lot of drive to improve articles after they have been created. Aside from pursuing GA or FA, that is. I am not sure how you were able to check article size, as I couldn't find a way to confirm what you were saying.
 * How about The_Gunpowder_Plot:_Exploding_The_Legend? I've been working that one as well, and there are a few interesting facts there, too. Does the fix-up of that article meet the criteria for inclusion? - Hexhand (talk) 23:18, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I added a few DYK to the nom s from GPP. - Hexhand (talk) 03:35, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * And I wanted to apologize for my wee tantrum yesterday; you were trying to explain a lopsided rule, and I blamed you for it. It was unfair of me, and I am sorry if I harshed your buzz. I would welcome any assistance you could provide me in learning to improve my editing skills, especially where it concerns DYK and rating the articles I am working on. Thanks for having taken the time to respond to my concerns politely and helpfully. :) - Hexhand (talk) 13:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * If I shrink them (referring to the Gunpowder Plot DYKs) up a bit, can they still be considered, or do I have to resubmit them? - Hexhand (talk) 01:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. I did the ol' shrinkeroo, to 185 and 199 (with spaces). Is that still good? - Hexhand (talk) 01:35, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for assistance, M. Can you be persuaded to strike the not ready icon and refer the matter to another for evaluation? I'd like to try for a triple crown as well. ;) - Hexhand (talk) 01:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you so very much for your assistance; without it, I would still trying to figure out how to follow the proper protocols. Thanks again for your help, M! - Hexhand (talk) 01:13, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you show me how to create a "notch list" at the top of my user page (like your user page)? - Hexhand (talk) 01:15, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was able to get it to work. Say, could you tell me the story about how you achieved your triple crown? - Hexhand (talk) 14:18, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Consolidated "Ships by navy" category discussion
Because you had commented in one or more of the WP:CFD discussions for Category:Royal Thai Navy ships (discussion here), Category:Imperial Russian Navy ships (discussion here), and Category:Royal New Zealand Navy ships (discussion here), I wanted to let you know that they have been closed, and consolidated into a new discussion with several similar proposed category renames. Please take a look at the new proposal. All comments are welcome. — Bellhalla (talk) 14:29, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Bar charts
I was wondering if you knew of a bar chart wherein I can add dollar amounts over a period of years? I've been to Template:Bar_box, but haven't found an example there that would assist me, as most of them indicate percentages. - Hexhand (talk) 17:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

RFD Closures
When closing an RFD as keep, please remember to remove the template from the redirect. There were three redirects that I just removed the tag from where you had closed the debates. Appreciate your participation at RFD. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:30, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. -- JLaTondre (talk) 01:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Eugene V. Debs GA review
Just a heads up: I reviewed the Good Article nomination of Eugene V. Debs. It's in pretty good shape, but I feel it needs some fleshing out in a few areas.--ragesoss (talk) 00:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Nice work. I've listed it as a Good Article.--ragesoss (talk) 01:11, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SECFanfareticket.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SECFanfareticket.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 17:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
