Welcome to my talk page. Please leave me a message below and I will generally reply on your talk page. Although my email address is enabled, it is not an address I check often (so I may be slow in replying to email and very much prefer to have conversations here). Please also note that while I am glad to do a peer review on just about any article, it will often take me a few days, and I do not usually have the time to do copyedits (sorry). If you want me to review an article, please open a peer review on it. Thanks for stopping by and happy editing! Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:58, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

I finally got around to splitting this off from List of bridges on the National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania. I still have some checking to do: There are 201 covered bridges and 191 other bridges and tunnels, but only 390 total in the original file. (I suspect my counting skills are to blame). Any help as far as a quick look at the format or text would be appreciated. BTW, when the leaves turn, I'm going to take a trip to Columbia County - lots of covered bridges there.
All the best.

Just wanted to say thanks for the review! Your input was helpful and I'll get to implementing your suggestions shortly--GroovySandwich 04:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
I need a copyedit on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides for the GA nomination, can you give me some help? (also, I'd also be welcome to input on this PR) Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 17:14, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
No problem. Let's just hope my GA review doesn't take too long (or ends up failing). And both me and the guy who started the PR will thank for your help! igordebraga ≠ 04:21, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Just wondering whether you have the page watched. A lot of activity & rewriting with minimal sourcing; I'm not sure what to do about it. Maybe let this one go? Dunno. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 21:25, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Could you way in on the discussion at Horton Township, Elk County, Pennsylvania? I could go either way, but I know that the decision was made several years ago to add the county name to the township articles in Pennsylvania? I am alerting you because you were involved in the moves when we did them and I am not sure that you are watching Horton Township. Gerry D (talk) 01:41, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ruhrfisch,
I saw your {{refimprove}} template at Beatrix Potter.
I don't see anything challenged there and there doesn't seem to be anything there likely to be challenged. The broad details of Beatrix Potter's life are of course very well known. I suppose some of the minutiae of her scientific work might be challeneged. The aticle is very well sourced of course.
Can you put on its talk page please a summary of your concerns. That would be helpful. Thank you. 81.178.38.169 (talk) 22:50, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm just starting on your comments at the Offenbach PR, but may I ski off-piste for a moment apropos of what you say about Jacob/Jakob. My own family has background in the Rhineland but there is some doubt whether great-grandpa was "Horbach" or "Horback". Do you suppose it might in fact be one and the same? (Sorry to digress so flagrantly). Now, back to your most welcome PR comments. Tim riley (talk) 14:19, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Many thanks for your comments on the Peer Review, I will notify you when the FAC is in progress.--GDuwenTell me! 21:51, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Yes, the article for Ivan Kral is all copy-pasted from what I can tell, from his own biography! {http://www.ivankral.net/bio.html]. I wish Admins. and editors in general would put less emphasis on creating articles as they do how the articles are created' and better yet, whether they finish the darned things. I tagged it and wrote a note on the talk page there. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 09:47, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
I added John Day Fossil Beds National Monument to the PR list just now, and I'm planning to leave it there for quite a while. For various reasons, I probably will not take the article to FAC until mid- to late September. If you have a chance to review it while it's at PR, I'd very much appreciate it. Finetooth (talk) 17:54, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. I will eventually get them addressed over time. I plan to use 4 Minutes (Madonna song) as a model and will also use Tony1's guides for copyediting. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 21:12, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm working my way through your comments at Paul Kelly's PR. I've a query about I would at least make redirects for the band names to the sections on them in this article. Do you mean article Redirects e.g. [[Paul Kelly and the Dots]] re-directs to [[Paul Kelly (musician)]] whereas do you suggest it re-directs to [[Paul Kelly (musician)#1974.E2.80.931984: Early career and with the Dots]] instead? Or do you mean that the Lead's second sentence should have such a link: e.g. "including [[Paul Kelly (musician)#1974.E2.80.931984: Early career and with the Dots|the Dots]],"?
I've had a go at expanding the captions on the sound samples and an image: is this the sort of thing you had in mind?
Once again, thank you for your advice.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:46, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks very much for your input on Dr. No: I've undertaken most of the edits except two: one I am not sure about the source of information (er the bikinis) and the second (about the cast) I'll need to take a bit more time on to do it properly, but I will be working on it shortly. Thanks again for undertaking the review. - SchroCat (^ • @) 08:39, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
I was just telling my wife that I hadn't taken any pictures in sometime. It looks like you've been having fun. My favorite of the new pics is the one of the boats at the boat rental. One of the mountain men looks more like Christ or a disciple. The kayaker one is lovely with the cloud reflections. I can really tell an improvement in your pics with the new camera. I need to get one someday. He survived the hurricane with no problems at all. Glad we missed the bad stuff. Gerry D (talk) 18:06, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

A situation has arisen which means I shall have to take a short enforced wikibreak - I hope for not more than a couple of weeks. So after tomorrow (30th) I won't be able to do the PR housekeeping, or indeed to help with reviewing. I'm sorry to drop this on you when there's still a pretty big backlog (though I notice that the rate of input to the process has slowed down recently). I trust that I will be able to resume normal service in mid-September, and will keep my fingers crossed that the system doesn't get overloaded meantime. Brianboulton (talk) 23:11, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
I realize that category talk pages are not the usual place for discussions, but I think this is the best place for this discussion. It covers all of the townships in Pennsylvania. There has been much discussion lately about how township names in Pennsylvania should be titled. Some go for X Township, Pennsylvania. Others want X Township, Y County, Pennsylvania. Of course there are many Washington Townships in Pennsylvania so they and others like it will need to include the county name in the title. The townships in question are the unique ones like Horton Township and Plunketts Creek Township. I think it is best to limit this discussion to Pennsylvania. If other wikiprojects want to do it differently that is fine. The status of townships vary greatly from state to state.
Hi! Thanks for the European route E71 peer review. Your comments were constructive and helpful.--Tomobe03 (talk) 22:51, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you are active in the NRHP WikiProject, and I was hoping that you would like to make a comment on a discussion going on there. You don't have to, but it would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is at WT:NRHP#Numbers in NRHP county lists. Thank you. Theking17825 16:06, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ruhrfisch, I don't know whether you're around much these days, but was wondering whether you might have time for an image review for the Murasaki Shikibu FAC? The good news is that with one exception they're all old images, the bad news is that there are a lot of them! Anyway, if you have time, thanks in advance. If not, that's okay too. Truthkeeper (talk) 02:44, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your May post regarding why you deleted by uncle's inclusion on the list Kent State Alumni. There are numerous articles on my uncle for your information and he fits the "notability" assessment you made reference to. For example, please look at the NY Daily News article (http://articles.nydailynews.com/2009-10-08/entertainment/17937497_1_radio-open-line-show) written about him and his radio show in NYC. This Show is a major Show in NYC -- the number 1 market in the U.S. Google his name and you will see that he was one of the major players in the Kent State May 4th event, subsequently became National Chairman of the Black America Law Students Association while at The University of Michigan Law School, former judge in NJ and participant in major cases in NJ and NY. To leave his name off the list of "notable" Kent alumni is a travesty. I know he does not care about such acknowledgement but his friends and family do. This is the second or third time that you have decided unilaterally to remove his name from the list of KSU notables. Please review your decision and add him to the list of notable alumni from Kent State and the University of MIchigan Law School. He deserves that. There is no conflict in that statement and in my posture on this matter. It is a matter of public record. Thank you. Dietrick Pickett Pickett303 (talk) 16:39, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ruhrfisch,
I've just done my first peer review. I was wondering if you could spare the time to give it a quick glance in case I've missed anything. Wikipedia:Peer review/Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union/archive1 Thanks. FiachraByrne (talk) 12:01, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for sharing the pic of the flood. Did the covered bridges in Sullivan and eastern Lycoming County make it through okay? I've seen pics of lots of damage at Knoebels. Too bad it happened there, but the end of the season would be the "best" time for that. I checked Ricketts Glen State Park's page and it said that the falls trail is closed until further notice. Do we add this to the article(s) or wait for further developments? I am getting ready to read the news from the Sun-Gazette right now. Gerry D (talk) 15:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
I found an article in the Towanda paper that says Sonestown was evacuated, but doesn't mention the bridge. I would imagine the Sunday papers will have more information. article here Gerry D (talk) 23:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
I am glad the bridges are still standing. The pictures are really something to see. Gerry D (talk) 10:53, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
That picture of the rails in place without the bridge is really good. I know they'll have to rebuild it and quick. I am sure the gas companies was rail access. Gerry D (talk) 10:59, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
PA 187 is really out of the way, considering we aren't leaving Williamsport until around 5-ish. However, this puts a stick in our plans, we'll figure out if we need to change plans what to do.Mitch32(Never support those who think in the box) 23:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I have requested a third peer review on the Paulo Francis article, after a series of corrections that beneffited a lot from your original PR. I would like to discuss also the issue about requesting fair use for one of the various Francis pictures available on the Web. My RegardsCerme (talk) 23:19, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ruhrfisch. I've taken my 'doing' tag off Wikipedia:Peer review/Anachronox/archive1. I'd got through about 3000 words of it a couple of weeks ago and then had to go away for a week and since I've got back I just can't get my head around the rest of the article. I don't know how far along David Fuchs is with his review but it would be much appreciated if you could drop some comments into the review in place of mine. I'll have a go at some of the backlog this weekend. Thanks. Bradley0110 (talk) 18:45, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I need a peer review for my new list. Can you help? Thanks — Jimknut (talk) 23:21, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi, again. Thanks so much for peer review. I made changes per your suggestions. I believe that I am now ready to archive the peer review and move on to FLC. — Jimknut (talk) 18:58, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks. I'm having a great time with the photography. I have two or three other panos to upload as well as some more singles. Until earlier this year, I almost never uploaded any images that I couldn't add to an article. I have way too many good fossil-bed ones to fit, and I don't think a gallery would be a good idea. However, just adding them to the Commons may be useful. The weather has gone from very hot to slightly cool, and the skies have been much more interesting for the past two days. The Internet connection here is quite erratic; I will wait until we are home again to do the final touch-ups and nominate the article. I'm glad your bridge survived, though it's certainly worse for wear. Finetooth (talk) 23:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the image review of the many many images for Murasaki Shikibu. That was a big request to make and I appreciate the time you put into reviewing the images. Truthkeeper (talk) 17:23, 16 September 2011 (UTC) |
Here's a blast from the past of an article I barely remember, Graeme Park. Do you know how to resolve this? I have no idea. I don't even know if it's important. It's up for deletion for some reason or another. It may be a foreshadowing of other old images we have uploaded. Gerry D (talk) 03:43, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your good wishes. As you see, I am back and will resume the backlog managemennt duties as from today. Could you meantime look at Equestria Daily, where it does not seem to me that PR is the appropriate forum for the discussion that is taking place about the subject's degree of notability? But I may be wrong, of course. Brianboulton (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi there, Ruhrfisch. You recently peer reviewed an article I'm working on, Irenaean theodicy (here) and one of the things you suggested was to change the lead section. I've substantially expanded it; I was wondering if you could have a look at what I've done and let me know what you think. Thanks. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 21:07, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
I'm just wondering if you have feedback of any kind on the Michael Sheen article? Thanks for your offer to peer review it! (Popeye191 (talk) 17:02, 18 September 2011 (UTC))
Finally had some time to get back to it here. There are a couple questions there. Feel free to nominate an article in particular you'd like me to look at, too; I can choose a random one in the backlog otherwise. ZeaLitY [ Talk - Activity ] 01:21, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ruhrfisch. Your comments at the peer review represent consensus among editors (at least with me). An user is ignoring this fact and is still removing sourced content without reason.
