DYK double

 * You're welcome. --PFHLai (talk)

DYK Next update
Hey PFHLai, I noticed you were on. Would you be willing to update DYK? It's loaded and ready to go. AgneCheese/Wine 09:55, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. The BorgQueen has assimilated those puppies. :) Sorry for the bother. AgneCheese/Wine 09:58, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad to have edit conflicts there and here. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 10:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Double DYK nomination!

 * Double Thanks! --PFHLai (talk)


 * Thanks, again! --PFHLai (talk)

Medal
Thanks for the DYK medal, PFH. I didn't even know there was a DYK Hall of Fame until you pointed it out :) Who's been keeping track of my DYK's? That was very nice of them.

However, whoever it was, I think they have made a slight error, because according to my count, I already have 51 DYK's (50 self noms + 1 other nom), not 49 :) Gatoclass (talk) 01:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, Gatoclass. A job well done deserves a medal.
 * Sorry about the counting error. I gotta "blame" you for having so many compound hooks -- they're very difficult to count! --PFHLai (talk) 07:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

DYK (#313~#329)

 * Oh, don't mention it, Pericles. Your good new articles deserve the spotlight on MainPage.  I'm glad to pass along some happy news. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 23:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Papal conclave 1667
I've added some in-text citations to my article Papal conclave, 1667. However, I left you to judge whether it's sufficient to remove the box "morefootnotes". The primary source for this article is the book of Valerie Pirie, "The Triple Cropwn: An account of the Papal Conclaves", which is available online. The list of patricipants and the informations about them are according to informations on the website The Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church by Salvador Miranda. CarlosPn (talk) February 19, 2008 20:54 (CET) —Preceding comment was added at 20:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, CarlosPn. Thank you for your note and your quick referencing. I've removed the morefootnotes tag from the article. I'd suggest adding an actual reference for footnote #1, as the wikiarticle Papal conclave, 1621 does not exist yet. That article will need its own references, too, when it comes into existence. The same ref can be used in this article, right? Happy editing. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 05:42, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * BTW, I've nominated this article for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know, where you can improve it if you see fit. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 06:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Getting more new people involved is a good thing. Thank you. --PFHLai (talk) 14:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

350+

 * Hmmm... I now have 350+ successful DYK nominations (including one self-nom.) Perhaps it's time for another wikibreak. ;-) --PFHLai (talk) 14:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Isn't it time you updated your figures on the DYK Hall of Fame? Gatoclass (talk) 14:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * May I wait till I get to 500, please? ;-) --PFHLai (talk) 18:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

--BorgQueen (talk) 12:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm notifying myself about my own noms again.... Oh, well... --PFHLai (talk) 10:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Inteco
What's wrong with it? Gatoclass (talk) 11:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've a problem with the hook.
 * The cited reference says "Her company is said to control 20 per cent of construction in the booming capital..." I don't think all constructions are "new buildings".  Also, the owner being "Russia's richest woman" is not ref'ed in the article. --PFHLai (talk) 11:43, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I admit I didn't thoroughly check it out before promotion, but I probably would have done so after I got the update organized. Sorry to take so long to get back to you, but I was expecting a message on my talk page in reply, I completely forgot you had the option of replying here, so I just assumed you hadn't seen my message. Gatoclass (talk) 15:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the miscommunication yesterday. I was kind of expecting a response on T:TDYK, too....  Never mind. --PFHLai (talk) 17:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Doesn't matter, the article got promoted anyhow, so no harm done :) Gatoclass (talk) 18:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeap. I think Victuallers fixed up the hook. --PFHLai (talk) 18:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Robert Oxnam on DYK
Hello PFHLai. I don't want to publicize Oxnam's illness on Wikipedia's MainPage. I think the hook "...that Robert Oxnam, author of a bestselling memoir describing his dissociative identity disorder, was president of the Asia Society for over a decade?" would be better. English is my second language. Although I am comfortable with the language, sometimes I can sound rude. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 09:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hello, Masterpiece2000. Yes, I like the new hook by jnestorius.  I just don't think it's right to post a line on Wikipedia's MainPage saying "Oxnam... is mentally ill" without any context.  If the hook says Oxnam himself wrote and published a book about his mental illness, it's alright.  Take care. --PFHLai (talk) 14:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your reply. I looked at your contributions and you have done a great job for Wikipedia. Keep up the good work. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 06:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind words, Masterpiece2000. You've done a great job in Wikipedia, too!  Happy editing. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 06:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

DYK x4 on 4 March
--BorgQueen (talk) 11:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * BorgQueen, you are clearly having some fun with the dates and the number of my DYK noms. I guess I should take a wikibreak from nominating, or DYK will become really, really, really l-o-n-g later this month, "wrecking" the MainPage's layout.... :-)  'Cheers!' --PFHLai (talk) 17:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

-- Maxim (talk)  21:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Quaestura exercitus for DYK
Just so you know, my computer gets errors whenever it edits large-sized pages. Anyway, I think the name should be italicized since the majority of the sources in the article show the name in italics. Deucalionite (talk) 22:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll leave a note on T:TDYK about the italics. I hope your computer 'behaves' better soon.  Happy editing. --PFHLai (talk) 22:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

DYK: Chelembra Bank Robbery
Hi, I could not find it in the archive section, could you please show me how it appreared and where is the history? I checked here. Thanks (please leave reply here). -- Avinesh Jose  T  04:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, Avinesh Jose. Recent additions was not updated properly. I'll fix it up soon.  Your 'Chelembra Bank Robbery' article was indeed on MainPage late yesterday and earlier today. Please try this link. Hope this helps. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 04:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, User: Gatoclass has fixed the archive. Your hook is there now.  Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 05:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * ok. Thanks. -- Avinesh Jose  T  06:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You are welcome. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 06:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Latest DYK... just one??
--Victuallers (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC) --Daniel Case (talk) 19:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, just one today. But I get TWO notices! Thank you. :-) --PFHLai (talk)

McCain & Buffett
Any particular reason you had to change the McCain blurb? I don't think the change sounds very encyclopedic. -- Grant . Alpaugh  15:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... I thought it's relevant and interesting. It was also a failed attempt to replace on MainPage the protected President of the United States page with one that I thought more contributors can edit. I didn't know that the United States presidential election, 2008 page was also protected, but not tagged with sprotected.  Oh, well...  --PFHLai (talk) 23:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * So are you going to revert it then, cause that's not the language we agreed upon at ITN/C. In the future if you could try to refrain from drive-by editing ITN without taking into consideration what has been said there, we'd all appreciate it.  --  Grant . Alpaugh  03:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... Wording came up at ITN/C is not really etched in stones, and to not make changes afterwards is rather un-wiki. I have been editing ITN since 2004, and I see no reason to stop.  I can revert or make further changes on ITN, but I (or any admin at WP:ERRORS) need to be persuaded that the current line has a problem.  I do think my line is slightly more informative, so I'll leave things as is for now.  --PFHLai (talk) 16:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, please add the Warren Buffett blurb we've agreed upon. That would be great.  --  Grant . Alpaugh  03:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC
 * I'll pass on the Buffett blurb. I find the whole thing too tabloid-ish. --PFHLai (talk) 16:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, but we're trying to increase the turnover on ITN and it is interesting. Either way, consensus is clear, please add it.  --  Grant . Alpaugh  22:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If you really want sth new on ITN, try working on the Maltese & Malaysian elections and the Serbia-Kosovo political crisis. --PFHLai (talk) 05:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just for the record, I have no problem with you editing ITN, I just have a problem with anyone editing ITN that ignores consensus reached on ITN/C or refuses to look there at all. I just want this to take place in as much of a wikifashion as possible.  --  Grant <font color="#FFFFFF">. <font color="#002868">Alpaugh  09:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope this doesn't mean taking ownership of the first good version of an ITN headline you and your colleagues at ITN/C came up with. People will revise and revise on their whim. It's a wiki afterall. --PFHLai (talk) 17:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
I saw your request. Please note that everything on MainPage is fully protected to avoid vandalism. (See Editing the main page.) If you don't want your wording to be mercilessly edited and revised after it's posted on ITN, you may want to bring this up at Template talk:In the news. --PFHLai (talk) 17:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand that, but there are several editors that are infinitely qualified to act as stewards of the template than the drive-by admins in charge now. It's an issue of ITN/C being completely ignored by the majority of those that actually edit ITN.  There's no reason why a small number of regulars couldn't be able to edit ITN without a problem.  --  <font color="#BF0A30">Grant <font color="#FFFFFF">. <font color="#002868">Alpaugh  19:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I know. ITN/C needs admin attention.  I used to be the regular admin at ITN/C.  But I've burnt out....  I like your enthusiasm, but getting non-admins to edit MainPage is not going to happen.  Anyone with admin-editing privileges can edit ITN.  If you want policy changes, you start talking and getting you and your few good men organized at Template talk:In the news.  --PFHLai (talk) 21:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Right but allowing just any admin to edit ITN is just as much a non-starter. There has to be a way to make this process more satisfactory for the people who actually care about ITN.  --  <font color="#BF0A30">Grant <font color="#FFFFFF">. <font color="#002868">Alpaugh  22:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If you have ideas on how to run ITN better, please be encouraged to propose them at the ITN talk page. But I don't think we can restrict the editing in ITN (or any wikipage) to just a small group of contributors.  This would go against the WP principle that "anyone can edit".  (Anyone can become an admin, too.  One just has to earn the trust of enough fellow Wikipedians for an RfA.) ... Things are not perfect now, but at least we don't get porno pics on ITN every other day. --PFHLai (talk) 05:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you for helping us out, I apologize if I came off as a dick earlier. It's just really frustrating when you and a few other people are really dedicated to making something work, but are completely reliant on other people to put it into action.  Anyway, thanks again.  --  <font color="#BF0A30">Grant <font color="#FFFFFF">. <font color="#002868">Alpaugh  09:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. No, you weren't a dick at all. But you seem rather frustrated. I suggest taking it easy, Grant.Alpaugh. Relax. It's supposed to be fun editing in the wiki. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 17:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:COTWnow
A tag has been placed on Template:COTWnow requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<tt>&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude></tt>).

Quick note of thanks
Hey PFHLai! just dropping by to say thank you for nominating for DYK some of the articles I've been writing recently on giant California oil fields -- I really thought no one would notice, and it's kind of nice ... no, I take that back, it's really nice. Cheers, Antandrus (talk) 22:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, Antandrus, you are welcome. Your good work on those California oil fields deserve the spotlight on MainPage.  Thank you for your contributions.  Happy editing.  Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 23:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, nominating seems to be the only thing I do these days. --PFHLai (talk) 14:06, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

2003 Insight Bowl DYK
Thanks, but the only input I had into the article was selecting the hook that got in, and referencing it. From what I know about the DYK process, that doesn't qualify for a DYK banner. That credit goes to JKBrooks85. I'll remove the banner from my talk page myself. :) — Dale Arnett (talk) 13:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note, Dale Arnett.
 * Yeah, I thought something was wrong when I saw this at DYKNU. I had given the DYK banner to JKBrooks85, and then I gave you a banner, too, just in case someone really wanted you to have one.  Go ahead and remove it if you really don't want it.  I've no problem with that. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 18:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

DYK (#395~#411)

 * Thanks, BorgQueen. I love this edit conflict. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 09:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:In the news
Hello! Is it correct to italicize "HSK" in "HSK Kormoran," or was this done in error? (I have no idea.) Thanks! —David Levy 18:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know. I've de-italicised the HSK. It was an error on my part. --PFHLai (talk) 22:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks again! —David Levy 23:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Stonehenge in its landscape Did You Know? suggestion
Good evening, my dear Mr Lai. Thank-you for amending my submission; I did not realise that 'Fair use' pictures (whatever they may be) could not be used. I thank you for enlightening me. Tell me, are you one of the little people? One assumes so, judging by the size of your writing and the date being what it is.

Princess Venetia di Cannoli (talk) 18:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm one of these little people. Happy St. Patrick's Day! :-) --PFHLai (talk) 22:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, a clerk, just like Bob Cratchit, one assumes. Do you have the most wonderful copperplate script, and do you sit on a high stool at a desk scratching in a huge dusty ledger?  Well, jolly well done you, I say.  The world needs more selfless minions like you, so that the great and the good (such as myself) can go about our gracious business unimpeded.  The next time you need a pay rise, Mr Lai, just let me know and I shall have a word with your boss.  I know he is resistant to such things, but I am sure I can manage an extra 6d. a week for you.  And now I must bid you a good evening, Mr Lai.
 * Princess Venetia di Cannoli (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, thank you very much, Your Highness. I can really use the extra money for faster internet service.  My boss can be reached here.  Much appreciated.  Happy Easter! --PFHLai (talk) 20:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Nominating William Binnie (engineer)
Thanks for nominating one of my articles, it was great to see it on the main page. I always mean to check out WP:DYK one of these days but have never got around to it, I will be sure to nominate any interesting facts from my next articles though! Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 12:48, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, Dumelow. Your nice, new article deserves the spotlight on MainPage.  Good job!  I look forward to seeing more of your contributions at DYK.  Happy editing. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 17:32, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, yeah, just two.... There are a few more of my hooks at T:TDYK.  Please feel free to pick them for an upcoming update while I'm on wikivacation.  Thanks.

End of a 39-day streak
''Hmmm... Five successful DYK noms on the 24th, 2 on the 25th, and 3 on the 27th, but none on the 26th of March? Oh, well... ''My streak of consecutive days with at least 1 nom on MainPage has ended after 39 days. That's my new record.'' --PFHLai (talk) 05:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

DYK x2 on 27 March

 * Thank you, Wizardman. I've got Alex's Bot to thank for the articles.  I just keep on reading articles on that list and look for interesting tidbits.  Some articles are not meant to be featured, as they are boring throughout.  Some have fun stuffs all over, allowing me to make hooks.  I only copy-&-paste some keywords to make the hooks on T:TDYK. Nothing I do is any special, really.  --PFHLai (talk) 17:31, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You are definately a nomination superstar! - House of Scandal (talk) 19:50, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Etta Palm article
You added a "more notes"-tag to Etta Palm d'Aelders before you left town. I explained in the references for that article that most facts are taken from *Gérald Arboit,  « SOUVENT FEMME VARIE » UNE ESPIONNE HOLLANDAISE À PARIS..., and that this online article does not have page numbers, so it is difficult to provide inline refs. I have however given a complete quote from Arboit as a citation for the claim that Marat frequented her salon. Arboit is a reputable French historian (you may want to google him), and the article (which I used as an external link)looks solid (except for the mistakes about the arrest record at he end, for which I have given a better citation). So I think your tag is superfluous and since you seem to be indefinitely offline, I have removed it.--Ereunetes (talk) 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm still around, Ereunetes, even though I shouldn't be.... Anyway, the request for more footnotes was made for DYK purposes -- footnotes are required for the nomination.  Thank you for the note about the removal of the tag.  It's alright.  The article is fine as is.  Thanks. -- PFHLai (talk) 22:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks: ITN image
Hurray, great photo of Yi So-yeon on today's main page (people do tire of male politicians :-). Best wishes. -Susanlesch (talk) 00:11, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, you're welcome, Susanlesch. Always glad to post on MainPage pictures of successful people, esp. those who are not middle-aged white males in the military or in politics. Yes, it's getting boring to see them so often.... Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 00:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

ISS crew images
Hi, i noticed that you made a comment on PD-USGov-NASA regarding the cosmonaut crew photos. To be honest, I don't think anyone has a real understanding about the copyright status of these photos. :( The exchange of these photos likely falls under some part of the ISS agreement probably as defined by the "Space Station Multilateral Co-ordination Board" but to actually find those regulations is not easy :( --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, DJ. I know it's hard. Those are good pics.  But I think we should avoid using any pictures with a questionable copyright status. And the tag  should not be used for those pictures if they are unlikely to be taken by US federal employees as part of their duties.  We probably need a new copyright tag for those Russian images.  I don't know how, but I hope this will get resolved soon. --PFHLai (talk) 17:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

DYK help: Thaba Bosigo
Hi, I expanded the article on Thaba Bosiu (it was started by another person on the 7th this month), but can't come up with a decent hook for DYK. Since you always write nice hooks, could you please take a look at it and see if you can come up with anything? I normally wouldn't care much, but it'd be nice to have an article on something from Lesotho on the main page (systemic bias and all that). Thanks. - Bobet 01:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * My hooks are nice? Thank you, Bobet.
 * Thaba Bosiu seems quite an interesting place. I'll cook up a hook and post it on T:TDYK.  I hope you like it. :-) --PFHLai (talk) 06:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I added the Free State-Basotho War into the hook as a double nom, hope you don't mind. - Bobet 16:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I don't mind at all. Double-nom means doubling the fun! :-) --PFHLai (talk) 16:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Not quite. So close and yet so far... --PFHLai (talk) 16:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Categorizing: Water Resources Management in Peru
Hi! I've seen you included WRM in Mexico and Brazil in the Article about Irrigation in Brazil. How could Water Resources Management in Peru be included in that category? Thank you anunezsanchez (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 14:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello, anunezsanchez.
 * How? Like this?
 * Hope this helps. --PFHLai (talk) 06:20, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

On this day April 17
I disagree with your claim that all of those items are more notable than the Canadian constitutional patriation. At the same time as it formally made Canada independent from Britain, it gave the Canadian courts supremacy over the parliament, which had never been done before in any of the similar parliamentary democracies. An item like the 335 Year War is quirky and interesting, but the patriation has huge historical implications in the field of parliamentary law. This is probably the third most important event in Canadian history, and out of the 366x5 items in On This Day, Canada is surely entitled to at least three events. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Regardless, they are all notable and interesting. It's only for an hour or so, anyway. Feel free to post it back for next year, and replace another 20th century item (too many). (If it's earlier in the day, I'd suggest cycling of those events.) But, please note that when we put things on MainPage, we have to keep in mind:
 * Do not break the left-right balance on MainPage.
 * Do not use fairuse pictures.
 * You did both with this edit. --PFHLai (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll look into those items for nex year. Sorry about the fair use thing, it slipped my mind when making that edit.  How do you check what a transincluded page will do to main page alignment before making a change?  In there a main page sandbox somewhere?  --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I didn't see the on the 1942 item.  MainPage was balanced. --PFHLai (talk) 23:17, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * We can check before loading new DYK updates at Main Page alternative (Next DYK) and Main Page alternative (Tomorrow and Next DYK). There is none for just OTD or ITN yet. --PFHLai (talk) 23:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
