| Squeamish Ossifrage, communication, and you:
Whenever possible, I will ensure that talk page communications are threaded. This means that I will continue conversations on the talk page they begin, whether that be here or somewhere else. I watchlist talk pages where I am involved in conversation. If you are involved in conversation on my talk page, please consider either temporarily adding it to your watchlist, or at least checking in regularly while the conversation is ongoing. Communication, after all, is what makes this project possible! |

KFC
Hi, I have addressed all of your specific complaints from this time around on the KFC page. Cheers Farrtj (talk) 14:54, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Just so we know what's been sorted out to both our standards, and for reasons of clarity, would you mind using strikethrough
like soon corrections that meet your approval? Farrtj (talk) 21:38, 13 November 2013 (UTC)- Yep, that's my general practice. I just haven't had a chance to go through and take a detailed look at your changes. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:42, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, I can see you've been busy elsewhere. So have I (I just got two articles GA listed in the past week!). Just to give you the heads up, I've worked my way through almost all of your suggestions over at KFC now (I think I have one or two more to complete). I have taken on board most of the suggestions. Where I disagree, I hope I've given sufficient explanation. Farrtj (talk) 12:36, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Incomplete DYK nomination
Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/The Carpet from Bagdad at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 06:50, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
FAC
It was my pleasure to give insight in A Cure for Pokeritis, hope the review gets done soon. In the meantime, are you available to check out a FAC nom of mine that's currently quite abandoned? Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 14:25, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
- Absolutely! Music stuff is outside my normal editing range, so I'll be going into this without any real feel for existing precedent in the area, but unloved FACs are sad, and we can't have that! Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:29, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
Moving Picture Weekly
Hey, there! You wouldn't happen to have access to Moving Picture Weekly, would you? In particular the 27 July 1918 issue? Apparently The Sinking of the Lusitania was on the cover. I can't find a copy online—I can only find issues from 1915 to 1917 at the Internet Archive. Curly Turkey (gobble) 20:59, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Bleh. I sure don't. You're looking for volume 6, issue 24. I can confirm that it absolutely has The Sinking of the Lusitania as the cover, and that I don't have access to it, at least not at hand. MOMA shows that they have a copy on microform. I've never dealt with their library, so I'm not sure how easy it would be for you to get access to that (especially remotely). These exhibitor mags are the hardest things to find, lemme tell you. I'll keep looking; I've got some 1918 stuff in my plan list, too. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:39, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I've got a citation that it was on the cover; since it looks like it was a promotional magazine (?) the contents are probably not what I'm looking for,anyways. Thanks! Curly Turkey (gobble) 22:05, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Moving Picture Weekly was an exhibitor's trade magazine (available by subscription to theaters, but not normally to the general public), but not one of the company house organs (which are probably what you think of as promotional magazines in the more modern sense). So while some of what they printed was film synopses and the like that would have been provided by the studios (along with a lot of advertising, to be fair), they did have their own editorial staff, and did write reviews and opinions. It's hard to know what, if anything, they dedicated to Lusitania without getting to look at it; covers and content weren't necessarily tightly related! That said, I can at least let you see what the cover looks like -- this movie poster auction site sold a copy of this issue back in 2011. Someone got quite the deal, in my opinion; uncut exhibitor mags in good condition are not common, and that white-on-black cover is striking! Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 22:15, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- It's too bad it's got "eMoviePoster.com" watermarked on it, or it would've been good for a Commons upload. It looks like McCay's artwork, too—for reasons I'll never comprehend a lot of the promotional artwork for McCay's films was done by other artists. If you ever do come across this thing, please let me know if you find anything interesting! Curly Turkey (gobble) 14:02, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Kart Fighter assessment
Heyo, just letting you know that I have assessed Kart Fighter as a B-class article. Here are my thoughts:
- Inline citations should appear only after punctuation, preferably full stops.
- You probably don't need a Related titles subsection, that information can just be a paragraph in Development.
- Can the lead be expanded at all? It could mention some more about the development, for instance.
- To pass GAN it will probably have to be expanded a bit. A few hundred words and a couple more reliable sources might do the trick. That may not be possible with the sources available.
You've done well with what little is available on the internet for this one. Good luck! — Mr. V (t – c) 05:48, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
