FAC reviewing

Good idea for uncertain newcomers. I assume you saw that at WT:FAC; perhaps the idea should be posted there to gain some input from other FAC regulars? Giants2008 (17-14) 00:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, glad you liked it, but if you don't mind I'll hold off posting it to WT:FAC for a couple of days - I'm trying to avoid posting on too many high profile pages this week. In the meantime do you fancy joining in at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Heinrich Bär? Its an interesting story but needs a bit of help on the prose. Were Spiel Chequers 14:25, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Finally got around to making a quick post at the FAC, where I left a few suggestions. Oh, and congratulations on passing your RfA. Giants2008 (17-14) 03:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I've noticed your reviews lately. Thanks and keep up the good work! This may be of some help to you. Dabomb87 (talk) 05:15, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Harvey Milk

Thanks kindly for taking the time to look over Harvey Milk at FAC. Please look at my last edit summary in the history; WP:MOS prefers no links inside quotation marks, unless there's a "good reason". There are several ways we might fix the fact that non-American readers may not know what "Wheaties" are. What's your preference? - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 00:43, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for pointing out that particular aspect of MOS to me, and sorry for doing a non-MOS edit whilst it was an FAC. I'm relieved that you can think of several ways to fix that as I can't, so please go ahead and use whatever one you see fit (Though I wonder what they count as a good reason because it seemed a neat solution to me). I'd never heard of wheaties so suspect they are not in the UK, which is why I thought some sort of a link would be appropriate. Ϣere Spiel Chequers 04:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC) PS Good luck for the FAC.

Right, it's a difficult call; I'm tied up with some things now but I'll discuss this at WT:MOS soon. - Dan Dank55 (send/receive) 13:10, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, Please tell me when you raise it at wt:MOS as I may want to join that discussion. Cheers, Ϣere Spiel Chequers 16:34, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

re Re:Winter Solstice

What trouble have you caused me at FAC? Right now the only one giving me a hard time is Avenue, but I have no idea where to find sources for the statements he claims, and he hasn't responded yet. Any ideas? Ceran →(cheer→chime →carol) 13:18, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Ceran, I'm afraid I can't help - its the wrong end of the Andes for me. I'm interested both in what makes mountains go bang, and how they have been perceived by people in the past, but I suspect we have more vulcanologists here than people who've taken part in services to the Lady of the mountains, so I may move my query about pre-Columbian perceptions of the mountain to the article talk page so it doesn't affect the FAC.

No probs, replied on the FAC page. Were Spiel Chequers 13:20, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I have a new reviewer that wants a lot of negative stuff added claiming the article is nearly a hagiography. He wants most stuff unrelated to his political career removed. I have never had a review that wanted all personal stuff except a negative controversy removed before. Please watch the discussion and comment as appropriate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Tony, I've had a quick look, but this needs something longer and may include bits out of my expertise, if we get snowed in again tomorrow I'll have a proper look then. Were Spiel Chequers 17:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. When Bryon Brown was unopposed I nominated Saxbe fix, which is facing a lot of opposition. Feel free to help that review. It looks like it may go down. If things don't turn in the next few days, I will withdraw it and renominate it about two weeks from now.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Vauxhall Bridge/archive1

I've removed your additions about the Inner Ring Road, as I think they're misleading. While the A202 road, Vauxhall Bridge Road etc are official designations, there's no such animal as the "inner ring road" – this is an informal nickname that means whatever the person using it wants it to mean. While an inner ring road was proposed in the County of London Plan, one was never built, and one can come up with a potential "inner ring road" route using pretty much any bridge between Blackfriars and Kew. If anything, Wandsworth Bridge has the best claim to the title. – iridescent 16:43, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

While I'm not going to make an issue of it, and Inner Ring Road, London is in a wiki that doesn't regard itself as a reliable source; I was fairly sure that this was an official designation with signage and so forth. Ϣere SpielChequers 16:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Fairly certain that's not so. A google search on "Inner Ring Road" +London shows up virtually nothing except Wikipedia mirrors, and certainly nothing that looks official (not even examples of the term in casual use). Transport for London only use the term in the context of designating the boundaries of the Congestion Charge zone and not as a road designation in itself. – iridescent 17:34, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

HMS Endeavour

Hey there. I've no reason to believe this request relates to anything you'd be remotely interested in, but as a regular FAC reviewer I'd be glad to have your opinion on the prose and referencing in HMS Endeavour. It's not at FA level yet, but after dozens of rewrites I've reached the point of not being able to judge for myself what needs doing.

Feel free to say this isn't something you have time for or interest in - it just occurred to me to ask when your distinctive username popped up on my watchlist for another page. Euryalus (talk) 13:08, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, long time no speak, yes that was an interesting read but "along with a full complement of sailors engaged from among the Cape Town population" I suspect would be closer to "along with sufficient recruits from Cape Town to bring her crew to a full complement". Would you mind having a fresh look at your source for that? Ϣere SpielChequers 13:37, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Done. Or at least sort of - the number of crew on Endeavour and when they first boarded the ship is bizarrely variable. It was commissioned to carry 96, and Cook even discharged one man who was the 97th on board. But at least 4 of the 96 were fictitious including Cook's two teenage sons whose names were falsely listed as present so they could qualify for sea time towards future officer exams. And at least two additional people were certainly on board but not mentioned anywhere for the next two years - John Still and Nick Young, both obviously English but first appearing in the ship's log in 1771 when she was on the way back home. They apparently hadn't been fed or paid for the previous two years, but there they were, fit and active when everyone else was dying of malaria. Lastly there was a civilian pilot whose job was to guide Endeavour out of port, but remained on board for four weeks afterward, also apparently unfed and unpaid.

There's a clearly referenced list of ten new recruits at Cape Town, but given the evidently relaxed attitude to crew numbers I can't be sure its correct. Still, I've used it because the source says so and its as good a figure as any.

Anyway, thanks for having a read through, and for your improvements to the article itself. I've spent too long reading the sources and can't get a perspective on the text anymore or spot clerical errors, so its been very helpful. Euryalus (talk) 09:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey there. You said in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/German Type UB I submarine/archive1 that: "if you are going to use colours for ownership then ideally the ones that changed ownership should be in both colours either with stripes or diagonally split boxes." How would I do that? I'm not really sure how to make striped or diagonally split boxes. Thanks :)--White Shadows ^{Your guess is as good as mine} 18:56, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes well remembered. I'm sure I'd seen something along those lines, the left hand of this image was what I was thinking of, but having done a bit of research I'd have to concede it might not be as easy as I thought.

No problem, I'd spent so long reviewing Bad King John that I would have been miffed if I couldn't save the review somewhere.

That sort of feedback from experienced reviewers is helpful and welcome; it gives other reviewers an incentive to dive in for a closer look, and gives delegates some info that helps us decide whether other reviewers are holding off because they see a lot of problems and are hesitant to dive in, and helps us decide timing on closing.

Future of the Earth

Hello WereSpielChequers,

I just wanted to say thank you for your review of the Future of the Earth article. Although the article didn't receive any support, I still plan to try and address all of the points you raised. I didn't include anything about a closer encounter of a stellar object with the Earth because of the minute odds; essentially I was just including those events that have a likelihood of 1% or greater. This ruled out a gamma ray burst, for example. Regards, RJH (talk) 16:55, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi RJHall, You're very welcome, it was an interesting and thought provoking read. Sorry to hear it got closed before you had time to resolve my queries.

Wong Kim Ark FAC

Hi. An article I've worked on heavily — United States v. Wong Kim Ark — is being considered for possible promotion to Featured Article. The discussion has kind-of stagnated and would benefit from additional input. If you have the time and interest, I'd be grateful if you could take a good look at the article, then go to its FAC page and give whatever feedback you believe is appropriate. Thanks. — Rich wales 05:44, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Just following up on the above request. Have you ever worked with the Featured Article Candidacy (FAC) process before? In case you haven't, the FA criteria can be found here. Thanks again. — Rich wales 01:11, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi RichWales, yes I've reviewed a few articles at FAC - I assumed that was why you approached me. I've been busy in real life and have so far struggled to fit in more than a superficial read through. American legal cases aren't my normal reading material so I haven't yet decided whether or not to write an FAC review. But it is obviously at or about the quality standard for FA with respect to those criteria that I feel competent to give an opinion on. Ϣere SpielChequers 01:19, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Understood. My main worry has been that I don't want anyone deciding to "archive" (close as unsuccessful) because of inactivity — hence my desire to keep some level of activity happening. — Rich wales 01:30, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Conte di Cavour-class battleship FAC

You took a look at this earlier and made one brief comment. I wonder if you could be kind as to read it a bit more thoroughly and offer a few more comments.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 07:27, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry your article was promoted before I got back to it. Ϣere SpielChequers 17:18, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Castell Coch

Hi. I'd be very grateful if you could give Castell Coch a read and comment at Wikipedia:Peer review/Castell Coch/archive1. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:08, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Definitely managed to read it, made a few tweaks and was hoping to come back to it in Mid May when I anticipate having more time, but I see it has already gained a well deserved FA. Maybe next time? Ϣere SpielChequers 09:46, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Boys Don't Cry FAC

Hi there,
I'm not sure if you received my ping on WP:Featured article candidates/Boys Don't Cry (film)/archive2. Just letting you know. Johanna (formerly BenLinus1214)^{talk to me!}_{see my work} 13:32, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, yes but I thought I'd see the film before commenting further. Ϣere SpielChequers 20:06, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Cool. You won't regret watching it. It's a wonderful, albeit sobering and dark, film that's beautifully done. Look forward to hearing more comments! :) Johanna (formerly BenLinus1214)^{talk to me!}_{see my work} 02:09, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks much

Thank you, WereSpielChequers, for the helpful copy-edit at From The Doctor to my son Thomas.

Were you going to have a look at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/From The Doctor to my son Thomas/archive1 ?

Thanks again for stopping by the article and improving it, much appreciated,

Hi Cirt, you're welcome, but I have a few too many spinning plates at the moment and I think I need to focus on finishing some things before going back to FAC reviewing. Ϣere SpielChequers 20:52, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Okay, no worries, thanks again, — Cirt (talk) 21:05, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
