I had to laugh too! I must be one hell of a shock-absorber though: I think the rest of WP:WPM are blissfully ignorant of the impact that awaits them and have disengaged completely from the GA process. I hope they will engage again soon, and more constructively. Meanwhile, after archiving a few of the old reviews, we both seem to have bitten the bullet (or cherry?) that is anabolic steroid. I fixed a fair amount of your "nit-pick-fest" before and after your thorough review, and addressed some of the redundancy issues. There are also places where a body-building webpage is used as a tertiary source and the material in the article is at best a paraphrase. Wikipedia can do better than that. I've fixed one or two instances, but there is more to do! Hope you are having a nice weekend! Geometry guy 22:23, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
PS. Our complementary modi operandi at GA/R remind me of the effectiveness of the most famous police interrogation technique: I think we can make a good team for whipping articles into shape or getting them to reveal their crimes... :-) Geometry guy 23:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I've reverted some of your changes to road articles, mainly because the state abbreviation is used to conserve space in the infobox. Lots of times, a state with a long name (example Washington) will clutter it up if mentioned a lot (example: Seattle, Washington<br>Tacoma, Washington). Also keep in mind that the MOS and its associated supplements are not rigid laws, but principles that editors have found work well in most circumstances. Thanks, (→zelzany - fish) 18:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm more than happy to track down any accounts you feel are harassing you? User:Librun didn't do much else, but if you have other examples I'll watch their activity. --Steve (Stephen) talk 03:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello Ms Love, Well I think it is about time to nominate East Carolina University for GA status. I am asking if you could please read through it once more before I give it the nom. Then, if it becomes a GA, ill just have to work to get it a A-class than FA:D. One more thing. What is going on with my userpage? On the bottom half everything is crammed together, what gives? Once again, thank you PGPirate
Hey there Lara, EyeSerene asked me to take a look at his first GA review. It was on Operation Gibraltar. He wanted an experienced set of eyes to give his review a second glance. Unfortunately, I've come down with a case of Bronchitis and haven't been able to think straight... 18 hours of sleep per day. So I was wondering if you could take a look at his review and the article in question? Thanks, Balloonman 03:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

You should probably remove Anabolic Steroid from the GA review. The nominator has decided it is GA material, the people who supported delisting it from GA it have changed their votes. I think it should be removed from review. Wikidudeman (talk) 06:41, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
See: [] [] [] In addition to my recommendation. Wikidudeman (talk) 07:45, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Lara. Thank you for your comments - my preference is to correct stuff as I find it anyway, so it's good to know that minor copyedits don't invalidate a simultaneous review. I'll ce per your advice... and remember to look at the page in edit view as well next time (to catch those ref templates!). I really appreciate you taking the time to do this - thanks again!

I've attempted to fix some of the problems you found with The Power of Nightmares. I did, however, leave at least one usage of the term "America" rather than "United States" as it seemed a bit awkward. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 02:28, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Looking forward to comments on this. I have found, however, that the majority of issues arise because people don't know the subject and assume certain types of sources exist which do not (which was the root of the majority of what Meekrob had to say). I also just got a comment on the talk that the introduction the article was vague plus a vagueintro tag (again from a user who hasn't been active since the tagging), when the first line says "Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation". Same user also "couldn't believe the article was ever FAC" (and frankly, what it looked like as FA years ago was lousy!) without lookig at said FA version. Now would I be off-base in saying that there are people on WP who are just here to stir up trouble with assessments and haven't a clue as to what they're doing, or is it my imagination? In short, how do you fix a "problem" (or even decide it exists) when nobody can articulate the problem? MSJapan 22:50, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) If you can't explain something in the article because the organization is vague about it, explain that in the article. It shouldn't be too difficult to successfully explain the topic in as much detail as possible, even if that means explaining why you can't explain something. Does that make sense? The point of the article isn't to educate the readers in every aspect of Freemasonry. It should give them an adequate understanding of the topic without eluding to things which will just leave them confused. Possibly obvious misconceptions (like that it would be a group reserved only for operational masons) should be clearly explained. As well as any other misconceptions that could be gathered from the article. They'll come up as I go through it completely. LaraLoveT/C 13:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

As it's a pretty universal concept in both the US and the UK, then the article should remain in whatever convention it was created with. The important thing is that it's consistent throughout the article. Neil ╦ 13:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.
You have received this message either due to your membership with WikiProject: Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. --Nehrams2020 23:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, nice job on the Jim Henson clean-ups! —scarecroe 04:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
To help you get started, I've posted a template to help keep track of lessons. We should have a new one on there soon.

I'm awarding you this "Working womans" barnstar for your tireless and endless work on the more laborious or repetitive wikipedia tasks. We need more like you! Wikidudeman (talk) 12:29, 13 July 2007 (UTC) |
Thank you! :) I appreciate that so much! LaraLoveT/C 12:30, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Roger that, thanks for the heads up. Mouse Nightshirt | talk 12:36, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
We just finished going over the issues you brought up. Have another look! Wrad 23:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
No, I didn't forget, I've just been busy with some other stuff, sorry. I'll try to go through the article this weekend. --Fritz S. (Talk) 09:55, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to review the Akebono Taro article. I wonder if sumo wrestlers will be able to have articles that are GA quality because the amount of information is so limited in English. In any case, my question is about question 4a. You mentioned "Has there been no criticism of him?" I am curious about this because if you look at the talk page you can see there is one editor that wants to put in a lot of critical words about him, however, this editors attempted edits are not well sourced (in my opinion) well sourced (the source is from a tabloid weekly in Japan, which is closer to a blog than a news magazine) and go against wikipedia policy on criticism in biographies of living persons. Like I said before, maybe because of a lack of sources in English for sumo wrestlers, this is just not possible. This seems to be a fine line that is easy to cross but that needs to be thought about deeply due to the problems with Biography of Living People. If you have any examples of successful articles in this regard, or any advice, I would be happy to hear it. Thank you. XinJeisan 15:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I have done my best to create a lead for Jim Henson that summarizes the rest of the article. (It may be too long, though.) Do you think you could check it out and tell me if it needs fixing anywhere? Thanks, Hobbesy3 19:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I'll look over it in just a moment. Wikification of words in the lead and the article is appropriate. In longer articles, it's even appropriate to wikify in multiple sections. It all depends on the length of the article. In the case of this one, once in lead and once in article would be appropriate, as long as it's consistent. LaraLove 19:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm having trouble trying to figure out what you want done with The Power of Nightmares. How is the article written in "American English" besides how the words are spelled? I really don't see the distinctions outside that feature. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 02:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
In case you missed it, I answered your question regarding Jean Keene. Giggy UCP 04:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
The best place I can see is under world history: Historical Figures: Other. On one of my many reorganizations, I created the category for exactly this kind of person: a historical figure that otherwise defies categorization. How does that sound? --Jayron32|talk|contribs 04:41, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
You are right about the live performances, because when "Makes Me Wonder" and "Harder To Breathe" are done on TV, he censors the cursing (I should've specified), which means that it does depend on the audience. Thanks for your input! =D Chick No.16 06:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry!! I'm kind of new. Thank you very much! =D Chick No.16 17:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
I have added almost all that I have learned about the district since writing the original Historic Michigan Boulevard District article. The other thing I could do is write some text about the buildings in the district. I can't think of much more to add.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 14:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
How to use page numbers for PDF files in references? in my case a single pdf file has been refreenced to multiple pages within, have different reference. Eg; line 1 has reference to pg 6 and again line 5 has reference to pg 10. Unlike havard style book reference how is it possible. Pls see Talk:Kaziranga National Park for seeing the question arised during GAC. Amartyabag TALK2ME 05:20, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
