Continuation of Seattle Sounders FC GA discussion
Hey there. It looks like you've been provided with aopinion on your review of the Seattle Sounders FC article that is in agreement with your initial review. Do you feel comfortable promoting the article now? Thanks again for your efforts.--SkotyWATalk|Contribs 02:54, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I wanted to let you know that I went ahead and asked the provider of the second opinion (User:MasterOfHisOwnDomain) to go ahead and promote the article since you appeared to be busy with real life. Thank you again for the quick initial review of the article and for generally being a bold contributor on Wikipedia.  It's appreciated! --SkotyWATalk|Contribs 15:28, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry I couldn't reply! Yeah, our household lost air coditioning this past week and then the router blew. :P. Oh well. Back on now. Thanks so much for asking him. MobileSnail 15:38, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

re:Thank you
No problem. Hope you're planning to continue with reviewing GANs, we could use some help stemming the tide of old nominations! Nice to have finally talked to you, I guess I'll be seeing you around. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 16:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

2011 Pro Bowl
Thank you so much for accepting my DYK nomination of the 2011 Pro Bowl. One thing though: I don't think it is in the queue for appearing on the main page yet, however I am unfamiliar with the process. Could you let me know what I should expect when I nominate a DYK article in a situation like that? If so, that would be awesome. Thanks! MobileSnail 23:22, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, you're welcome! Um, let's see...DYK is kinda backlogged, so it won't be for a while...say, 4 or 5 days, at least? Check at the queue: Template:Did you know/Queue. It'll be waiting there when someone puts a set together. Otherwise, just hang in there! Thanks for contacting me! Bob Amnertiopsis ∴ChatMe! 00:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks a bunch. Now I know it's not done by the reviewer. Maybe I'll do some of my own reviewing now. Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 15:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Preston Henn DYK
You stated that the proposed DYK for Preston Henn was not in the body of the article and was not cited. It is both there and cited in the last paragraph of the article. -Drdisque (talk) 16:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I feel stupid now :(. I hate when I make mistakes like that. Oh well... Anyway, I fixed it yesterday. It's good to go and should be in the queue in a few days. Thanks! <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 17:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

List of Gold Glove Award winners at pitcher
Thanks for your review of the DYK hook for the above article. Just curious why you thought it was "borderline". Thanks. KV5 ( Talk  •  Phils ) 19:16, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess I should have explained it better, but it doesn't really matter since it's good. Anyway, I said it was "borderline" because a lot of the main content of the article are lists, but that's what it's supposed to be and there was enough prose text to meet the guideline. That was a very good hook, by the way. <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 20:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. I appreciate it. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 22:39, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem! The hook should be in the queue soon. <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 22:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

DYK image selection
In regards to your recent edit to Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2. When selecting an image for a DYK update, please consider what items are already in the queue. While there is nothing specifically wrong with image you selected, when you look at when this update is most likely to occur and the images scheduled to appear immediately before it, you will notice that this will be the third consecutive image of a red brick building. In the interest of a little variety might I suggest you select an image of something different. If need be you can even return the hook associated with this image back to the suggestions page for later use. --Allen3 talk 22:13, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry... I am newer to DYK and I've been making a lot of minor mistakes like this. I was trying to get that stale hook into the Queue because it's the oldest for sure approved pic hook. Thanks for the note. Any way I can get better at this :). <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 22:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, since I see you haven't made the change, what do you think I should do? Should I run with it or replace it in a prep area in another cycle or two? <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 22:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The availalbe options I see to prevent three similar images in a row are to move the Mesa lab hook down and select an alternate hook and image, return the Mesa lab to the suggestions page, or swap the image and hook at the top of the first prep area before it is moved to the next free queue (if it helps, the second hook in that prep area was nominated with this image). I will let you choose which you prefer.  The practice should help your learning process;). --Allen3 talk 22:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

The DYK lives at 21
Thanks for reviewing my The Murderer Lives at Number 21 for the DYK! :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:13, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem! It was one of the oldest hooks already and it hadn't been reviewed, so I figured it was time! <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 15:59, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Curlew Lake (Washington) DYK
Hi Mibile Snail, I noticed you removed the Curlew Lake (Washington) DYK application in a group of entries which you left the edit summary of "removing 3 articles due to promotions to prep area, rm another due to past promotion". As the other three hooks made it into prep queue 2, I assume there was a problem with my Hook. Please let me know what needs to be fixed with the hook. --Kevmin (talk) 06:02, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope. Your hook was fine. I remembered seeing it in the queue earlier so I removed it since it had been promoted already. I'll double check now to make sure. <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 15:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Now that I see it... it must have been removed from the Queue and replaced. I'll put it back straightaway. Under it's appropriate head. <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 16:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have placed it in prep area 2. It is ready to go. <b style="color:brown;">Mobile</b><b style="color:blue;">Snail</b> 16:13, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks!--Kevmin (talk) 18:04, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
