If you have come here because I have reviewed your featured list candidate or good article nomination, please keep the following things in mind: I always keep the nomination pages on my watchlist, so it is generally unnecessary to tell me that you have responded (unless you responded more than five days ago and I have not replied). For FLCs that are eligible to be closed, I usually return to the nomination one or two days before the scheduled closure days. I will only support (FLC) or pass (GA) if I feel that all my concerns have been satisfactorily addressed and/or responded to.

NYCS stations

Have you been able to look at List of New York City Subway stations as I requested before? Tinlinkin (talk) 10:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

So sorry about the delay; I've been busy. I promise I'll look today or tomorrow. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:56, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

List fixing

Did you find any list headers to fix besides service academy ones? — Rlevse • Talk • 00:24, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

No. Dabomb87 (talk) 00:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:

Seriously, dude, what is the problem? What's so hard to understand "congrats; GA pass"? I wouldn't leave "congrats" in my edit summary, unless I'm saying that I've promoted an article, which would have either "GA1" in the mix or I'm congratulating another user for an accomplishment of some sort. I understand where you're coming from, but I don't see the problem. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:01, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I was referring to edits such as this one; please use "Pass GA" or "GA" instead of "Updating". Sorry if I wasn't clear before. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:04, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

"Fix" to wind toolbox

That fix by adding a slant within the disambig link, for some reason, points away from the disambig function of the toolbox and produces an error message. This happened within the past few days, and it took us a while to figure out what had happenned. Thegreatdr (talk) 02:05, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Sorry. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

List of members of the Basketball Hall of Fame

Hi, Dabomb. Do you think we should split this into several lists for each category (e.g. coaches)? I have this idea because the current list is very lengthy and will continues to grow every year. However, I worry that the split will cause problems regarding to 3b. Also the team category has only 6 items and I am not sure if it should be a stand-alone list. These are potentially big issues and I don't want to do anything without discussing with you first.—Chris! _ct 22:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

We might make it so that we have a main article and then sublists, a la List of United States Military Academy alumni and its sublists. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:52, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

That works. And we might not even need a main article if we can bring Basketball Hall of Fame up to GA.—Chris! _ct 23:03, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe List of members of the Basketball Hall of Fame can remain as main article and split coaches, players and contributers out of it. Entries under teams and referees can remain in the main one, so that the list can still be long enough to become a FL. Since you seem to agree with me per above, I will go ahead and do it within the hour.—Chris! _ct 01:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

One more thing. Should the main list contains several coaches, players or contributors like the Navy Academy alumni list or just links to those sublists?—Chris! _ct 01:40, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

The main list should definitely contain some of each. I don't know how we would decide which ones belong the main list, and which should be split off. I'll look at other FLs. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:42, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I split it since I got nothing to do. I just leave {{main|article name}} at the main article for now. We change that later.—Chris! _ct 06:40, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

List of members of the Basketball Hall of Fame (head coaches) is almost ready for FLC. Could you take a look?—Chris! _ct 02:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I think it's nearly ready. I'll ask Giants2008 (talk · contribs) to take a quick peek. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:42, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, sure —Chris! _ct 02:51, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

You probably know this already, but Giants2008 has commented on the talk page.—Chris! _ct 20:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

RE

Blue usually handles non-wrestling lists these days. She has really expanded onto non-wrestling topics recently. Though she may have some comments.--WillC 15:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Silent Alarm; or nice request for a copyeditor's perusal before it's sent to the FAC sharks.

Hey there, I've followed up my FBC work with another album article I had previously taken to GA with Garden.

I'm planning to nominate it soon at FA headquarters and would appreciate your copyediting help in any way, shape, or form.

This one has had loads of CEs before and was an alternative music collaboration of the week recently. However, no one has had a look at the final version resulting from my tweaks and moves these past few days. Rafablu88 20:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Bot

Can you run your bot here: List of United States Military Academy alumni (academics) — Rlevse • Talk • 22:38, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Done, but nothing needed fixing. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:39, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I can assure you...

... Scotland have never won the World Cup! --Dweller (talk) 12:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Aagh... Sorry! Dabomb87 (talk) 14:12, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Peer review?

I know that you are quite often busy, but if you are interested/have time I would appreciate you taking a look at BBC Sports Personality of the Year's peer review, as I wish to get the page to GA for my SPoTY topic. Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

List of Presidents of the United States

I apologize for the odd way I submitted this List so don't beat me up too bad. I usually don't submit lists that I have edited so few times but this is an important one that I think deserves to be back on the FL status and I think it looks good other than some cosmetic changes I would like to make. I also usuallly don't do this either but I left some comments related to a couple of things I would like to do to restructure the look of this list. If in your wisdom you think the shading and references are ok, thats ok with me too. --Kumioko (talk) 20:49, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

RFC

No probs, just happened to be online. Darrenhusted (talk) 23:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Dashes

Ugh. Thanks for that. Currently em-dashes are used in a very, very large number of Australian political articles. Is there a bot that could run through and fix them? Frickeg (talk) 03:51, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem. If you could compile a category / provide a link of a group of these articles, I could find someone with WP:AWB to do some work on it. Regards, Dabomb87 (talk) 03:52, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

If I say that it'll be all the pages listed on Divisions of the Australian House of Representatives (including abolished divisions), plus the vast majority of Electoral districts of New South Wales, will that suffice? Thanks, Frickeg (talk) 03:55, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Should be fine. Thanks for your help, Dabomb87 (talk) 03:56, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
