Synchronised bothering

Tee hee, you and I seem to have both posted peer review requests at User:Seegoon's talk page at nearly exactly the same time! Anyway, I thought you might perhaps be interested to know that I've put Nigel Kneale up for PR — any comments you might have would be very gratefully received. I'm really fired up to try and have a crack at FAC with this one. Angmering 21:46, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Actually, after Kneale there isn't really that much else connected to Quatermass that's nomination-ready; Experiment and The Pit are already FAs, Quatermass II recently became a GA and everything else is still awaiting updating and citation. I suppose I'll get around to doing the fourth serial at some point, then maybe Cartier and then the films, although I doubt any of them will get up to FA-standards. Anyhow, thanks for your comments and your kind words! :-) Angmering 22:09, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

It's a tempting thought, certainly... I'll see how it goes. Angmering 22:19, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Not at all. Thank you — anything that helps gain more feedback is a plus in my book. Angmering 17:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Given yours and Seegoon's comments, I may well take it to FAC soon then — it doesn't seem to be doing much on peer review at the moment. Yannismarou said he'd give it a look sometime after Friday, so I will probably wait for his comments and then see. Oh and by the way, I fixed you addressing him as "Seegoon" on his talk page — beware the pitfalls of cut and paste! :-) Angmering 23:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Mimi Smith

I'll absolutely give it a once-over; it'd be good to get to grips with reviewing biography articles. Bloody Yannismarou and the like seem to have a complete monopoly! Thanks for the kind words. I'll do it tomorrow. I'm about to drink and be merry. Seegoon 00:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Eyes of The Insane

		The Original Barnstar
		For re-writing Christ Illusion and Eyes of the Insane, reviewing articles at WP:GAR and WP:FAR and helping me with Slayer related articles :) M3tal H3ad 10:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding eyes of the insane, i wiki-linked some general things - if you disagree with them feel free to revert. Some general comments

• Araya read the article during the plane journey.(Plane journey to where?, He lives in Texas so I'm guessing from his home to the studio?) Pre-production for Slayer's ninth studio album Christ Illusion had just begun - This is quite choppy also
• Guitarist Kerry King noted that - I just realized that the words 'that' and 'then' are often redundant and not needed.
• The soundtrack to 2006 horror flick - i believe 'flick' should be changed to film not very encyclopedic and - The soundtrack to the - missing a 'the'
• Currently two one sentence paragraphs
• The images are missing fair use rationales - I'll add them now

I rated it B, its broad in coverage and well referenced, I believe you could go for FA with it. Regarding Christ Illusion i found this audio interview with Lombardo - When asked "Do you guys all share the same views lyrically as King or does he just put it on paper and say this is what you are going to sing tom" - Lombardo says yes and states he doesn't share the same views as Kerry lyric wise and Tom also feels the same way. But he does say some lyrics are cool - Maybe this is worth a mention But whatever. Thanks for the help and good luck with CI and its good to see you're back :). M3tal H3ad 10:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Woo thanks for all the comments, I'd say Lombardo does deserve a live section - and screw the reliability of metal sites. No one ever questions the reliability of books, but when the information is right there on the screen its non reliable. I'm going to work on Reign in Blood to try get it FA adding every little detail from that oral history on the band, and adding info to Lombardo's article along the way, not sure how to present all those influences but I'll see what i can do :) thanks again. M3tal H3ad 10:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

O regarding Araya i can't find much on his style and influence, I'll keep looking though. M3tal H3ad 10:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

ArticleHistory and bot

The bot looks for review-related templates on the talk page, and figures out the oldid (version) of the article at the time of the review. FA and PR have a subpage where a date can be found. GA doesn't, so it would be helpful if the GA templates on former FA candidates had oldid values. User:Dr pda/articlehistory.js is a helpful script; it can bring to light deleted GA and failed FAC templates, so add those back when you notice. Also any substituted dyk templates could be un-substituted, but those are relatively uncommon. Current FAs and former FAs are being handled first, but eventually we'll probably go through a large number of the articles with any failed FAC event. Gimmetrow 20:37, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Geography Cup FAC

You recently (5 Feburary) objected on the FAC for the Geography Cup article.

• Object per 1b as the article isn't comprehensive. It doesn't discuss how other noted geographers and geographical bodies have reacted towards the cup, and the receptance from these people. Do they think its a good idea, or bad idea? Do they think its flawed? Furthermore, the article doesn't assess the impact and success / failure of the Cup's intentions of "raising awareness of the importance of world geography in the modern world". Has it worked? Has it failed? The article fails to come to any conclusion. LuciferMorgan 01:09, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I addressed the objection to the best of my ability with the information available. I found a couple of websites of geogreaphy teachers, geographers, and enthusiasts, that support the competition. I found some complaints about the website itself. I was not able to find the (elusive, possibly nonexistent) press release though.

I would appreciate it if you could review the article again. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 21:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Eyes of the Insane, was selected for DYK!

On February 22, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Eyes of the Insane, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for your contributions! Nishkid64 23:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Christ Illusion

I'll definitely give time to this, but have a few projects on at the moment that I'm struggling to get to; gimme a few days. Have tickets for this bty, oh joy! Ceoil 00:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

It seems good to me — comprehensive and well-referenced, although this is coming from somebody who has absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of the subject matter. The only thing I picked up on, as you will have noticed from my edits, is a degree of under-linking. To a degree it's a personal thing, possibly, and you may disagree with my view as may others, but I think that the first mentions of places (i.e. North Hollywood) and publications (The Guardian) ought to be linked where there are articles available.

Apart from that though, as I said, it looks good. Angmering 19:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
