Coagulation cascade

Hey! Thanks for contributing your image for the coagulation cascade. I'm just wondering how it improves on the old one? I do like how the three pathways are made clearer with color. I find it discards a lot of the information present in the old one, and the legend makes it look more complicated than it should be. I have a strong bias in favor of the old image for these reasons, but perhaps if you made a few modifications to your image to simplify and make it more complete I would be sold to the idea. What do you think? — Guillaume Pelletier ~ 23:03, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

When I talk about the old version, I'm referring to this: File:Coagulation_full.svgGuillaume Pelletier ~ 23:08, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Guillaume, sorry for the delay in replying, I have been away for a few days. I created the image in response to students' comments who found the earlier one difficult to understand with regard to the pathways in vitro. I agree that information on the modulators has been lost, but I think these would be shown better in a separate image. I included the internal legend for readers who wish to use the image as a projected slide, and I don't think it overs complicates it. What modifications would you like to see?

File:Salmonella growing on XLD agar.JPG

I see your useful picture with this title,but I am wondering if it is better to have an ID for the yellow colonies, are they E. coli? If so, how about putting in info something like this in Salmonella bacteria (black colonies) and E. coli (yellow colonies) growing on XLD agar User:Polypipe Wrangler 04:13, 8 June 2012

I didn't identify the other bacteria, they are probably colonies of Escherichia coli, but they could be any other member of the Enterobacteriaceae, including salmonellae that have yet to produce any hydrogen sulphide. Graham Colm (talk) 18:49, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Push the Button (Sugababes song)

Archived why? Nobody commented on it. Till I Go Home 06:09, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Nevermind. I can see that WP:FAC states that it can be archived if "insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met". The article is now a GA btw. Till I Go Home 04:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Concert in Central Park

hello,

could you please close Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/The Concert in Central Park/archive1 so I can do the points and then renominate? Thanks.--GoPTN 13:45, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

William Burges

Absolutely no need to apologise. I'm just delighted that the article, on which so many worked so hard, made FA. Whilst I'm on, could you point me in the direction of the guidance on how an FA makes it to the front page. I'm interested to understand the process. Thanks and regards.

Hi, you need to go to this page WP:TFAR. Graham Colm (talk) 06:59, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Script

Hi Graham, do you have Ucucha's HarvErrors script installed? I love it, and I think it would be pretty helpful for you when looking at articles that are under review. Keep up the good work at FAC, I love seeing your name on my watchlist :) Mark Arsten (talk) 16:14, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mark, thanks for the tip, I have just installed it, and your kind words. Graham. Graham Colm (talk) 16:18, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
fyi, this may be related to a discussion on my talk. Since you've got the script installed, please see an article that just passed in this state. And see the recent history for clean up I did. Br'er Rabbit (talk) 16:47, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Well, this is embarrassing – I've learnt an important lesson today. But I can't understand why these issues were not brought up at the nomination stage. Graham Colm (talk) 17:05, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm glad you see this as important. I didn't see the nomination until after it closed. I look at what passes, what's dumped on the main page, what is currently called "our best".

Glad you agree with us Graham, and yes you're a good editor and you do good work. It's not just how some get through FAC...the recent TFA Amador Valley High School got to the MAIN PAGE as TFA with 19 dead links in it. This week I came across two FAs with major problems. One has 32 ref errors and one has about 12-15 cite needed tags. I'm sure you'll agree this is also far from ideal.PumpkinSky talk 17:43, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
"Unacceptable" might be a better word. I am checking the articles I have promoted since accepting the job, for these errors. Graham Colm (talk) 17:55, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
