WP:LOTM
Congratulations on what appears to be your first WP:FL. In case you do not know, we are running an experiment to choose the List of the Month and Lists of the Day for June. Feel free to nominate your list at User:TonyTheTiger/List of the Day/Nominees/200807 for consideration next month to be the July LOTM or a LOTD. If you would like to support this experiment the most important thing you can do is come by and vote at User:TonyTheTiger/List of the Day/voting/200806. My talk page is always open.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 04:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

GA Review of Minority Treaties
Ummm... as with the other articles I've remarked about today, you do intend to bring this review to some kind of conclusion? This too, has been on hold for a month. Take care. Gosgood (talk) 16:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually I've decided to remove my GA reviews, due to some burnout. Sorry. Noble Story (talk) 02:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. Sorry to hear about that. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of fluids, and feel better. The talk pages confused me – they still have GAReview tags with their status fields set to 'on hold'. I trust, in light of your remark above, that it will be proper for me to reset those fields and fully release the articles to general review. Let me know otherwise with a response here or on my talk page. Thank you, and feel better. Gosgood (talk) 09:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Please do so. Again, apologies for not being able to complete the task. Noble Story (talk) 09:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of things at the FAC. I'm on vacation, so I'm afraid my assistance leading up to the conclusion of the FAC may be limited. I hope to chip in as and when I can, but I do suppose it's really up to you and Zagalejo now to hold the fort. Chensiyuan (talk) 12:07, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry it's been SO long since I've replied to your comment about the NBA newsletter - I've been busy and away for a while and somehow I missed your message (on May 8th!) I would love to help with the right side of the newsletter as you suggested, and the left as well if you'd like, as I see that neither is done yet for the next issue. -- Shruti14 t c s 23:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I added separate references for the 2 notes. There was a large discussion about where "Statistics are..." should be placed. It was decided that it should not be in small font (for visually impaired people), and it should be put in the last paragraph of the lead.

RE: AFD discussion
I must admit I worked hard on that. And was ticked when I saw that it was gone. I really didn't think that it should be deleted. Even after reading policy. I am not going to hold anything against you, it wouldn't be "Christian." :) But what makes me frusterated is that that is like the tenth article I worked hard on that was deleted. That is what gets me ticked. Again, noting against you personally, it is just typical for en:WP. Thanks -- American  Eagle  06:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, that makes more sense! Seriously, I did try to make them that way. I've found sources, external links, infoboxes, categories, information, and more that all give notability. But somewhere, somehow, somebody finds somethings they say doesn't give notability. Regardless of the work done. Call it policy, but it's still frustrating. -- American  Eagle  17:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * True, but I'm not a "new" editor. I've been on for like 3+ months. I am editing more on the Simple English Wikipedia, it's very much more friendly there (I don't mean you). Cheers Noble Story -- American  Eagle  01:26, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Magic Johnson "legacy"
I recently moved the section Rivalry with Larry Bird out of the Legacy section as it was mentioned in the FAC comments that the rivalry doesn't fit as part of a "legacy", which is doesn't. I'm not going to put it back because I think you're doing a good job with it. I just thought I'd make sure you saw that comment in the FAC review. Chickenmonkey (talk) 11:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ya, I saw the comment. I eventually decided that the rivalry could be in a section all to itself. Thanks for the heads-up though. 11:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps removing Talk:Sphinx Head from the Good Article nomination list could be reconsidered
Ah, Noble Story. It may be that this article fails any number of Good Article critera, but I take issue with its summary removal from the nomination queue for reasons stated here. I was rather sharp with you; I think that a hasty clearing of the bag log should not lay the project open to criticism about the quality of its review process. It seems to me that criticism of the Good Article program is growing and not all of it is baseless; this obliges us to conduct our reviews with care. I do invite you to respond and let me know if I have been high-handed with you in any manner. Take care. Gosgood (talk) 17:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

children's book by Richard Krawiec--recently removed link
He wrote a bio for kids about Ming that won an award.

Todd Manning
Can you tell me who nominated this article for GA for a second time? I had clearly stated on its talk page that it was not yet ready for GA.

In any case, I read your GA review, and your suggestions for improvements are simple enough. I'll start further improving the article soon. However, your objections to references 6 and 8 are something I want to clear up. 6 and 8 are not merely personal websites, but are rather primary sources. Reference 6, for instance, is the actual website Michael Malone gave that interview to. I consulted with editor Bignole, someone experienced in getting fictional character articles to GA or FA status, after including that reference...and he advised that it was fine to use because it is a primary source. Really, those interviews are available nowhere else. I also do not know how you concluded that a lot of the article has an in-universe tone, when, in actuality, it is one of the more out-of-universe articles.

But, anyway, if you are still willing to review this article once I make further improvements to it, let me know. As said, I will get started on these improvements soon. Once done, it would be nice to inform you and see what you think. Flyer22 (talk) 01:28, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've carried out most of your suggestions; I already explained about the two references you objected to, which are no longer numbers 6 and 8. I clarified the context of the reference that was Number 6, though. As for that long quote in the Character creation section, I feel that it's suitable. It's not as though I have several quotes as long as that in the article.


 * In addition to your suggestions, I have further expanded the article; the new images I added along with the new text are within Wikipedia policy, since they are aiding the text rather than being merely for show. The article is a lot more comprehensive now. The additions were to the Actors' approach to the character section (now called Portrayals), and to the the Impact and criticism section. An additional reference was also applied to the article's lead, simply because some of what the lead mentions is not yet addressed within the rest of the article. That "rest" would be the Storyline section I plan on adding. I'll get to a storyline section for that article in time, which will be sourced and worded in out-of-universe form. A benefit to that approach will hopefully mean less random contributions adding on to it and making it a long, unsourced plot mess.


 * But, yep, if you would review this article again, that would be good.


 * See you on the Todd Manning talk page again, hopefully. Flyer22 (talk) 08:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Never mind. I went ahead and renominated it for GA, since I see that you are not currently active on Wikipedia. I am usually patient; it's just that I would rather go ahead and get this taken care of.


 * I'll see you around. Flyer22 (talk) 07:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
