Thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate your walking me through it and helping improve the article. As much time as I spend on Wiki, I don't often experience this side of things. I've written over 300 articles now, but I seldom take them that far, and there are many processes and MOS requirements that are still a bit unfamiliar to me. As I said, I was halfway through linking the google books when it occurred to me that I had probably misunderstood you. By then, though, I figured it might be better to continue than to stop. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Lovely (Desperate Housewives)
Hey Matthew. Thank you for your GAN review of Lovely (Desperate Housewives). Your review was extremely thorough and I found it very challenging to respond to, but I think the article is growing stronger as a result. I've made responses at the talk page and hoped you could take a look. I've made changes based on most of your changes, but a few I had some feedback and thoughts about. If I didn't agree with all of your comments, please don't see these as me being argumentative or uncooperative, and please don't see my disagreement as my final word on the matter. I'll be willing to make further changes and concessions if you are still not satisfied. (Also, I will try to respond to the rest of your GAN reviews by this weekend or before, but I am short for time this week, so if I need a few more than seven days, please bear with me. Thanks again!) —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  03:10, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've responded to your comments over at the Bang (The Good Wife) article as well (as did, unexpectedly, another user I'm not familiar with! lol). Please let me know what you think there too. Thanks! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  22:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all your help with Lovely (Desperate Housewives)! The article is in much better shape now that it was before your efforts with it! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  05:58, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of The Boys from Baghdad High
The article The Boys from Baghdad High 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 seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:The Boys from Baghdad High for things which need to be addressed.

"Already Gone"
I've finally finished my PR of "Already Gone". Note some comments will be redundant as other editors have jumped in and made changes before I finished the process. Yet others have added material, including references, which will require further work. Enjoy.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of 2000 Summer Olympics medal winners/Sandbox1


The article List of 2000 Summer Olympics medal winners/Sandbox1 has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This page was transcluded, but the contents are now directly embedded in the target article (it was only one target, so changes still only have to be made once if needed). Subpages are not allowed in the mainspace, and such transclusion has the disadvantage that e.g. tags like "orphan" show up on the target of the transclusion as well.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. (The same goes for Sandbox 2 and 3) Fram (talk) 10:12, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine. There are two others, too: /Sandbox2 and /Sandbox3 that should also be deleted or prodded. Matthewedwards : Chat  14:29, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Judge iMatthew has retired from Wikipedia, and we wish him the best.
