Cleaned up. Feel free to drop a comment.
Sermons of Dean Swift
Just a quick note to say that I just spotted Sermons of Dean Swift, which seems to be all your work, and thought I'd just drop a quick note to say that it's a great article. Elegantly written and comprehensively referenced, I immediately assessed it as B-class, but I'm sure that it would fly through a good article assessment if you chose to submit it, and it is probably v close to featured article standard. Good work! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- It is misnamed, and it's odd that you keep this congratulations without keeping in mind the cautions about the quality of writing in the article from user:Geogre or the fact that you've lodged the article inappropriately from me. Still, it's your user talk page. If you won't consider the relevant issues, you might want to remove the congratulations. Utgard Loki (talk) 19:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Tone
Hi Ottava Rima, I see you've started reviewing FA candidates. Thank you for your participation - there is definitely a shortage of reviewers! I'd like to encourage you, however, to moderate your tone a bit. Your phrasing often comes across as combative, which hopefully is not intentional. A calmer tone will often get better results, especially at FAC; no matter how correct you may be, people are less likely to listen to the content if they feel the tone is improper. Good luck learning the FAC ropes. Karanacs (talk) 17:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think the problem mostly results from the fact that there are multiple editors of the page actively participating on the FAC. A mob mentality does not help Misplaced Pages, and mobs tend to be defensive. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:49, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
