"If you are concerned about the quality of reviews, perhaps pitch in and check them before they reach the main page?" I do. Maybe less frequently than I once did, but you seem to suggest I don't. --68.99.89.234 (talk) 02:28, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, but was this removal of Buckshot06's comment intentional? It appears to have been a mistake, so I have re-added it (and in classic Kurtis fashion, accidentally referred to him as "Bucketshot06"). Just making sure. Kurtis (talk) 09:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm not the nominator, but did review some of the articles in this multiple-article hook. Just a thought: maybe the hook can go out if the bolding of the link to "Andy Mineo" (the article suffering from close paraphrasing) is removed? I think there were no problems with the other bold-linked articles "Andy Mineo discography" and "Formerly Known" (which I reviewed). The fact in the hook appears in "Formerly Known", not in "Andy Mineo". — SMUconlaw (talk) 11:42, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Carabinieri (talk) 00:05, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Crisco, I'm coming to you for some mentorly advice, since you've been a mentor to me in DYK matters for a while, and in some ways I'm still the new kid on the block. My question is whether you think I'm offbase or even a bit so in my interpretation of the part of the Gibraltar restrictions that reads "All DYK Gibraltar-related nominations will go into a special holding area from the time they are nominated."
In the recent discussion at WT:DYK#Changes to listings of future Gibraltar-related DYK nominations, Prioryman said that this doesn't mean they "will solely go into the special holding area", while I maintained that "go" clearly means go from A to B (move from date section, where they start, to the holding area, rather than duplicate the entries so they're in both places). Unfortunately, there was very little commentary from other people on this point, so with one or two exceptions I have no idea what their interpretations might be.
If you think I'm offbase, then I'll drop it. If I'm not, then I'll have to decide whether I have the energy to pursue this further. To me, moving seems like a logical application of the actual DYK process and standard English interpretation to the wording of that particular restriction, while duplication does not. Thank you for your time and thoughts. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:15, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Crisco, I nominated Template:Did you know nominations/Girls (and Boys) On Film a short while ago. I managed to screw up the tense in original hook, but now that the ALTs in place there's still a basic question about sourcing part of the hook that I'd like someone who's knowledgeable (i.e., not George) to see whether this is a feasible hook or not.

So, any advice on a way forward? I'd appreciate it. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Just a heads up. I've been doing some research on the iconic Bung Tomo photograph that many associate with the Battle of Surabaya and Hari Pahlawan. There is a high possibility that its date and context are incorrect. It appears to have been published first in the Nanjang Post (Nanyang Post) in February 1947, but I can't confirm this as I've only found archives of the paper at Stanford University. If we are able to confirm its publication there, it is likely there will be an article or caption associated with the image that can clarify its context. I'm not sure if archives of this newspaper exists in Indonesia. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 19:15, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Crisco, I see someone put Sir Alistair Hardy's photo into Aquatic ape hypothesis without a rationale.

Hi. Could you drop a comment at Talk:The Weeknd#Song accolades?

I've just filled up a prep area (none were ready), and we're overdue for the next main page move, so I imagine as soon as an admin stops by (perhaps you), it will get promoted. Unfortunately, they're all long hooks, but we have no flexibility at the moment: almost all the approved hooks are bios, with the exception of a few UK sports stadiums. I'm also busy with other things, and it's hard to get time on Wikipedia just now. Hope you see this... BlueMoonset (talk) 00:30, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Crisco, the special occasion hook for March 10, tied to the Crufts dog show in the UK, needs to run right away. Ideally, it should go in either the first or second prep, depending on whether you think it should run during the UK day, or starting at 4pm on the day (I don't know when Best in Show is given)—which means in one of the two sets you've just been building.
I'll let you decide where to put it, though if it appears you've stopped editing for a while, I'll fit it in somewhere. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:18, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Crisco,
Are you around? I was going to change the image for OTD (it's the same as your POTD selection), but I'm a chicken, and scared I'm not going to do it right. Do we now trust the bot on Commons that autoprotects the images on our main page, or do we still temporarily upload them to WP?

Crisco, I could deal with the three photos that have all accompanied this nom to prep 1 (just pick one and ditch the rest), but when I checked, they are all Australian photos, and have this odd license that says they're PD in Australia, but might not be in the US. If they aren't in the US, we can't use them, right? Two are dated to 1945, one is listed as 1941-1946 due to his time in the service.
The issue wasn't dealt with during the review process, so far as I can tell. Since you're well acquainted with Commons photos and licensing, can you please check into this? I was actually thinking of swapping this hook earlier, since it's currently set to run during Australian nighttime which seems a waste, but I've decided it's best to leave it in the most junior prep area until you can take a look at it. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:14, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Crisco, when you're next on can you please take another look at this? You commented on it before. It looks quite comprehensively sourced, but there is that one "citation needed" tag: you'll know better whether the best thing to do is simply remove the tag for the time being, or to have the nominator remove the entry until a replacement is found for the now-gone online video of the performance. (There are a few other entries in the later lists that are unsourced as well, but haven't been tagged.)

Hi mate, had been thinking of putting this up for TFA for a while and now, in light of Bench's recent plea, sooner rather than later. None of its various reviews included an Indonesian expert, however, so I'd value you having a quick look at the post-war section and just seeing if it all rings true to you. Further, though I'm happy enough with the level of detail, if you think there's a source or two I don't know about that I should use to flesh anything out (English language please!), let me know.

Crisco, just in case you happen to be around, we're in the situation of having four full preps and no full queues. Sometime in the next four hours, one of those preps need to migrate.

Hi, it looks as if you might be around at the moment and that it is sensible o'clock where you are (9.45am Sunday where I am!). It seems the poster is correct about the error in the DYK for La Reyne le veult but it is now off the main page. On a slightly different note, the DKY nomination for Timeline of plesiosaur research has been given a AGF tick, but the article looks to have a DAB link template at the top with many DABs throughout it. Does that count as a dispute template? I promise to try not to 'edit war' with myself this time! . .....tries not to touch the undo button...... SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:46, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

we have a difference of opinion - :) - my father had his 2 books published in the UK of the 1930s (sic) stolen by an US based publisher in the 1990's because my father had not claimed copyright in the US in the time they were published - this current argument smells of BS, or of the latrine behind Sonobudoyo library (ahh takes me back) - very unlikely that Kingsford Smith and Ulm would have had their publishers claim copyright over the items at the time of printing... the L of C catalogue shows Sydney - respectfully, sats 07:53, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
You closed a couple of AfD I had proposed recently. That editor has had ~20 of his articles deleted in the past few months and is understandably pretty annoyed. He's tracked me over to sunfish and tagged it. I don't necessarily have a problem with the tag --- you know better than most that I tend to be verbose on my first drafts --- but I'm concerned that this is going to escalate. Would you mind putting the article back on your watchlist? I'm going to let this sit at least another 12 hours. At that point I'll cut the new text down a bit and perhaps add another cite that I have back at the house. After that I'll ping you and the other editor to see if the tag can be removed.
Thanks,
Garamond Lethet

Crisco, can I ask you to take a look at the sourcing on this article? I'm wondering which of the five referenced sites can be deemed reliable:
I'm assuming the Lonely Planet guide (now FN4) is okay. Correct? I think the article's prose (and some of its assertions) needs work: for example, just because one of the sources (FN1) says that the fate of the site in the 2011 Libyan civil war is not known, doesn't mean that it really isn't: it seems unencyclopedic to include such a claim.

Hi! This is a query about attribution of opnion. In a current FAC, (please see this diff) I commented on the need of attribution for a comment in the article (the sentence in question: In 1883, it was described as a "disgrace to the county. It could hardly be in a worse condition... and should be repaired immediately.").
What is your opinion on this? I mean, need for attribution for sucha comment? I ask you this because we came across this question of attribution during Mother India peer review where you rightly suggested for attribution for opinions, even though there are footnotes.
It's not a request to comment on that FAC! Just for my own clarification :)--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:01, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Jimbo has never accused me of threatening his family. I have not and would not do anything like that. I have not caused "probably half the drama at ANI over the past few months" and anyone who frequents ANI will know that this is an absurd claim. You have started a ban discussion with provably false claims, although editors unfamiliar with me might assume that they are true since, after all, they were written on the admin board by an admin.

It's been a long time since this has happened, but all the queues are empty. Even more, all the preps are full. Any chance of promoting one in the next four hours or so? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:34, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

For the correction and education at the Teahouse. I never created or even worked on an article about a novel or movie. I need to read about the exceptions before I attempt to do so. I'm glad you caught my error and quickly corrected it. I don't want to misinform a new user, especially one as enthusiastic as ChuckieHolmes.

I am curious why the title of the poem Sair Tjerita Siti Akbari is italicized on WP and not presented as "Sair Tjerita Siti Akbari".--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:03, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Don't fret – I'm not here to ask you about Australia. Rather, I'm seeking your advice regarding this old news article. It contains a rare picture of subject above mentioned. I had been searching hard for such a photograph to no avail... Until I encountered this. How do I extract the image from the scanned article? Screenshot and crop? Thanks. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 04:54, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
I've completed Ezra Meeker. It took me eight or nine days to finish it but it was probably beyond 5x by the fifth day, if you want to take a shot at a DYK nom. This one's going to be on the fast track to FA I think.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Depends on where it is when Longacre is promoted (assuming). If it's ready, I'll run it, if not I'll put on the three buck piece. Articles with the research and images I got in January are starting to be promoted :) . Anyhow, thanks for the good words on the DYK; I suspect it will wind up getting run but if not, no big deal. --Wehwalt (talk) 15:32, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
If you have time or interest, feel free to take a look at my two lists at FLC: List of awards and nominations received by Fiona Apple and List of songs recorded by Pink Martini. Thanks so much! --Another Believer (Talk) 15:52, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I saw you put your newspaper article Pembrita Betawi up for DYK. User:Crtew was talking about trying to queue up some journalism hooks for World Press Freedom Day, May 3; I don't know if that's of interest to you, but I figured I'd put you two in touch about it. I'll direct him to this thread. -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you Khazar. I don't believe I've run across you yet in Wikipedia Crisco 1492. I work primarily with journalism articles. Anyway, I was asking Khazar for some advice on how we could request that Wikipedia run some thematic material about press freedom and journalism on World Press Freedom Day which is 3 May. Khazar suggested I talk to you about getting some DYKs in the line. Can you offer some advice? Thank you, Crtew (talk) 19:08, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
