I held that PR after your suggesstion but, you did not posted a single comment nor edited as per your earlier post. Will you ever fulfill any of your promise. Please comment ASAP as i will close it soon Wikipedia:Peer review/Priyanka Chopra filmography/archive1. Thanks.— Prashant 17:27, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Prashant I've been taking a breather from wikipedia for at least a week now, but if you want me to comment you should know by now that telling me that I don't keep promises and shouting in capitals to do something is likely to do the opposite.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Why you always misunderstood. Please, understand that it was you who suggested to hold a PR not me. Also, you have told me that you will edit and change few words. Also, since i type on my iPad (lot of problem and pain) that's why sometimes it becomes hard to type due to capslock and then to lower case. I have always respected you. If you can help. You were the one who promised that if i let the Chopra fac keep going smoothly, you will take look at my future projects. I will be happy if you can edit or comment. Thank you.— Prashant 14:52, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
As I said, there has been a very good reason why I've been taking a break from wikipedia and if you got out of your own way of thinking you'd understand why. Yes, I said I would look at it on July 29 and a week has passed and I still haven't. I really haven't been in the mood for even visiting wikipedia let alone reviewing, frankly I'm rather fed up with the project at the moment. I'll do my best to take a look at it within the next day or two, from what I see the others have already offered some good suggestions.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:30, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Only Schro had commented there not many. Also, he is not happy with prose. Prose tightening is the solution. But, i think your comment/edit will fill that place. Hope you reflect soon there.— Prashant 16:10, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Mmm given how inattentive the foundation is to editorial input and how much work actually needs doing on the encyclopedia, sitting around talking about how great or how bad wikipedia is in a bunch of t shirts with wikimania on them and giving Jimbo and Sue some brownies I'm not sure what the point is. Every day needs to be wikimania day online and the foundation to sponsor exciting events and competitions on site if we are to get serious about improving quality on here... But a lot of very productive decent editors on here love wikimania so I'm assuming it has some sort of benefit, not my sort of thing, really.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dr B. Sounds like a good suggestion; I reckon it has potential for FA-status. I will check all my Crawley books etc. to see if there's anything more I can add. I'll do a check for dead links as well. Just thinking about timescales, if you submit for FA I will be away for most of September, so if there were questions/challenges relating to material I have added they would have to wait until I get back on 27th Sep.

Crisco 1492. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very
civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you. This has to go back at you as well, after looking around a bit. Comments such as
" I see you're not here to be constructive",
implying that those who disagree with you are indecent, and
"You're the model prototype of WP:OWN to the point that you'd happily restore a vastly inferior article version just to restore your full additions to the article" are against AGF and CIVIL. —

This is a note to let the main editors of Priyanka Chopra know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on August 14, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or one of his delegates ( Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 14, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Priyanka Chopra (born 1982) is an Indian film actress and singer, and was the winner of the Miss World pageant of 2000. She has become one of Bollywood's highest-paid actresses and one of the most popular celebrities in India. She has won a National Film Award for Best Actress and Filmfare Awards in four categories. She made her acting debut in the Tamil film Thamizhan in 2002. The following year, she starred in The Hero, her first Hindi film release, and followed it with the box-office hit Andaaz. She subsequently earned critical recognition as a seductress in the 2004 thriller Aitraaz. By 2006, Chopra had established herself as a leading actress of Hindi cinema with starring roles in the highly successful films Krrish and Don. After receiving mixed reviews for a series of unsuccessful films, she received critical acclaim for her portrayal of unconventional characters, including a troubled model in the 2008 drama Fashion, a feisty Marathi woman in the 2009 caper thriller Kaminey, a serial killer in the 2011 neo-noir 7 Khoon Maaf, and an autistic woman in the 2012 romantic comedy Barfi! She released her first music single " In My City" in 2012, and her second single " Exotic" in 2013. ( Full article...)

Hello, Dr. Blofeld. I know you're busy, but when you get a minute can you look at the talk page of the article Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu ?

Thank you for uploading File:Kouré giraffe.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

Here are some potential sources that I had identified. Some may be used already. I think it needs most work in Themes and Historical accuracy, but I have not been able to write in a eloquent manner. I am sure that you can do better. There may be helpful material existing in Jodha_Akbar#Historical_accuracy, Jahangir, Akbar#Matrimonial_alliances, and Anarkali, though some of those have few sources. It is important that people know that this is not a true story. Please have a read through and make improvements where you can. Also know that there has been someone disputing information in the colorization section. See User talk:Shaku india for that.

The 1948 film Chandralekha is my next "wannabe GA", so I was just wondering if u could review it and suggest me any improvements (any improvements can be suggested on the PR page).

I don't know your relationship with these editors, it is of course possible that they have long standing disagreements with you and a grudge against you. I'm commenting merely as a neutral observer and if indeed their comments are also in good faith and they have no history with you then you've been excessively rude and disrespectful in your response which isn't the attitude to have at FAC where you must respect all concerns.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
FAC has improved since 2011 in my opinion. In the old days it seemed FA reviewers wanted to obstruct everything from passing and it seemed almost impossible to produce the "perfect" article that they required. Things generally have much improved today, only it can still be extremely tough at times, particularly on big articles which might be controversial.. And with reviewers like me around now :-] ♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:08, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Me going to try to add whole bloody mess of public domain reference sources to commons. Me have already started with the Hastings Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, and me have at least a few more on my computer here to upload later, generally relating to religion/philosophy/mythology sorts of things. Me do think that having them available will make it a bit easier for interested parties to find sources to establish notability, and me might even try to generate a few particular lists like those me have been making for some of the religion type projects listing the articles in those sources, with links to the commons address so others can find them. Me do have a thirty-year old reference book on reference books, the Sheehy, and me will try to get together a list of the reference works included there that are PD to help in finding sources which were still then considered good enough for listing in that source.

I did not bother? Has it occurred to you that I might have been busy? I haven't the time to overlook every Indian article which goes through on wikipedia you know, I do my best to try to keep track of what is going on as it is. It's just when somebody asks you to peer review something and they don't (that's fine) but then somehow they find the time to deliver a detailed oppose at FLC and still continue to oppose despite valiant attempts to address them then it doesn't look as if you're interested in helping other editors promote content. You were asked because you do often find issues that others haven't identified whatever the subject may be. You have some good points, although I disagree that every trivial appearance she ever made is needed. If constructive criticism at FLC is needed to improve the article and pass it this is a good thing still, but not if progress can't be made. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:45, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Oh great!! Now here we go, Blofeld don't tell that you are in his side. What I did yesterday was my anger as you have helped many other editors passing their article but ce yourself. But, failed mine with even touching. This has nothing to do with the flc and Vensatry's nonsensical questions. I'm okay with it. Now, its my turn to review his article, then I'll se how much criticism he can tolerate. Also, it is said that editors should response to constructive comments and not nonsensical VENSATRY.— Prashant 17:02, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Yes, and I did the same with the passing of the other of your GA articles and gave you your first ever GA and award on wikipedia didn't I and defended you when an editor put them up for GAR? You took it for granted that I would spend hours copyediting the article just to pass it. Well, it doesn't work like that and you're really lucky I copyedited your other ones and passed them. I gave you two weeks to get some assistance and told you well in advance that I would fail it if you didn't. What part about I can try to make a few improvements but I'm not willing to edit it to the extent that it needs and I think it needs at least two editors working on copyediting it. I'm willing to take a look at it once one or two other editors have copyedited it first didn't you understand? Every post of yours comes across as spoiled and childish Prashant and its not surprising how people respond to you on here. You take everything personally and see everything as some sort of competition and when everything doesn't completely go your way you attack the work of others and always assume the worst. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:11, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
So, you are saying if others are slapping me, I should give them awards and put my other cheek to also me hard. Come on you have seen Vensatry's comments on the flc. First it started with budgets/gross and when I resolved then he came up with a few more. It shows how much he is insecure of that list. Childish? Well, you can say so because I work on every article to make them GAs or FAs but these kind of editors, who are bias and create disruptive environment which is hard to work are very rude to me. They should give others respect. I don't have any problem with you and will not have. I don't mind if you failed it or passed. I respect you a lot. But, with few editors it becomes hard to work, Vensatry's points took 1 whole week to resolve. As, I have now entered in my University life, it has became hard to have long conversations and resolve never ending questions. I just want others to not waste others time.— Prashant 17:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Don't mind me failing your articles?? I think I've made it perfectly clear at the FLC and here my perception of the situation. In response you've again resulted to attacks, have got the wrong idea of the situation and where my sympathies lie, and have left a barely legible rant in cap locks on your talk page insulting Vensatry as an editor now. You continue to dig deeper holes for yourself, every post of yours seems to get worse. There's only so much people on here are willing to take of your tirades Prashant. I've been perfectly fair with you and have gone to great lengths to help you out but if you can't help yourself then I'm wasting my time. Enjoy uni life, I hope it will change you for the better.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:40, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Wowwwwwww!!! Blofeld, I just saw you failing my article. Thanks!!! Tell me what to give you a medal or a star. It's very frustrating that this is first time my article has failed in first attempt. I wanted a help. I don't think the prose was disgusting at all. Far better than GAs like Imran Khan and few new Indian GAs. I thought you'll help me. But, what you did is not fair. I corrected all your issues. Only ce and that is not my job. I see another fail in the form of flc. Sorry, i can't work here anymore due to these kind of behavior towards me. Almost all editors (who themselves are biased and play favorites).— Prashant 11:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
You really need to grow up Prashant. I didn't say the prose was disgusting and if you think my decision to fail the article was a personal thing then you're really more childish than I had thought. I said it needs a major copyedit and condensing and as reviewer you can't expect me to do that. I gave you two weeks to make the needed improvements and you barely edited it. The plot is over 1000 words and it's supposed to be max 700. The article just lacks the quality of prose to pass it. To my knowledge you didn't request copyediting assistance and took it for granted that I'd edit it and pass it. Well, things don't work like that. If you nominate an article for GA it is your responsibility to see that it passes. I'm sorry that you can't accept this, but I'm sure Eric and any other decent reviewer here would agree with me. I did warn you that I'd have to fail it if the quality of prose wasn't significantly improved in the two week period. The problems with the prose is reflected in your above message which is riddled with grammar and phrasing problems. As I said above, some time I'll help you out and copyedit it myself and you can renominate it but somebody else will have to do the review. Please drop the silliness, it does you no favours.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:48, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi there Blofield, not sure if you remember me but we had some contact a year or so ago. =) I hope you have been well. Since one of your editing areas seems to be film biographies, I was wondering if you might be interested in looking at my current FAC nomination for Julianne Moore? If so that would be great, but but no worries at all if you are busy. Cheers! -- Lobo (talk) 10:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Vaguely, very vaguely! Can't remember what it was, it wasn't the Naomi Watts article was it? Sure, I'll look at it within the next few days. BTW if you're interested I plan on getting City Lights up to GA soon, I don't think it needs much to pass. The Great Ziegfeld first though. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:57, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Blofeld -
Given your skill at finding sources for things that seem as if they should be notable, yet there aren't really the sources to prove this - here is something really silly that might yet - I don't know - appeal enough? User:Mabalu/Animal hat. I started writing this, thinking "Oh, there'll be plenty of sources by now" - and then I actually started looking around and couldn't really find that many reliable sources. Odd, given how ridiculously (in more than one way) widespread these hats are, and how much attention they receive, that there doesn't seem to be that much reliable coverage. Fully understand if this is something you aren't interested in, but thought I might ask... (I really need to get back to doing more of the Red Carpet Fashion articles too...) Mabalu ( talk) 17:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I would like input regarding This edit. I have had a lengthy discussion with the editor, who has been very civil with me but we have yet to reach an agreement
These are all very reliable sources. The third is especially concrete — his own daughter confirms that he has eight kids by six women. The quote should be restored, because all evidence indicates that it's the truth. There are no legitimate news reports stating who the mystery 8th child is, but that should not prevent the statement and the quote stating how many children he has from being present in the article. 02:15, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
I don't think even Eastwood truly knows how many kids he has. 7 or 8 have been made public but I remember his interview with Ellen in which he has said something like "7 that I know of" or "at least 7 yeah". I wouldn't be surprised if he has at least 10. He was very promiscuous in the 70s and 80s.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:58, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dr. Blofeld. I hope you saw my message on the GA review page. Again, I'm sorry for my choice of wording in reply to your suggestion about full stops in citations, and if I've given the impression that you were being overly fussy. I didn't mean that, and I don't think that, at all. Your comments throughout the review were very welcome and constructive. I had thought the article was going to fail actually, because of the anti-Rolling Stone slant – and I was absolutely fine about the possibility of that happening, because if I couldn't resolve the issue, then I could hardly expect your concerns to evaporate. So I'm grateful for your perseverance – it forced me to find a solution where I didn't think there was one. Besides, as I look up this page with utter awe, you've been responsible for 100 articles achieving GA status (let alone those you've helped take there as a reviewer, like "This Guitar") ... I mean, who would I be to think you're not fully cognisant of what's required of a Good Article!
What I'd always intended to say here on your talk page, whether the article passed or failed, was how inspiring I find much of the text on your user page, Dr B. (Sorry, I can't help myself – hope you don't mind me being so informal?) Back when you first took the nomination and I clicked on your user name, I found myself wishing I'd had those points to hand as something I could've directed other users to perhaps, during petty disagreements in the recent past. You say some insightful things that I think we all need reminding of, some of us more than others.
I've not been on wikipedia for long, but in that relatively short time I've been amazed at the energy and time some contributors put in to maintaining, furthering, confrontational situations with others; the lengths they'll go to, the forums they'll find to take the problem to. It's mostly a result of personal-agenda, letter-of-the-law stuff (and, as I think you say, often laws/rules that they themselves have instigated) with no thought for the spirit of the community. As is the nature of all communities, people think they're right simply because they work so hard not to be seen to be wrong, however they can go about achieving that. Politics, basically. Obviously, I think I'm perfect in this regard(!) ... No, but seriously, as soon as I find myself no longer feeling and thinking like a reader – no longer focused purely on the content of the encyclopaedia and what each article delivers – I'm out of here. What your Encyclopedia Problems and Site Problems reinforce so well, I think, is that so much of the community pages are behind the scenes to readers and utterly trivial in the grand scheme of things. Readers, millions of them, notice whether there is an article covering a certain subject and the content of the article; they don't care about community consensus, MoS issues, MfC, dispute resolution, etc. I don't mean to ridicule those things, but it does get ridiculous when so much energy gets diverted there while so much work remains to be done on the quality of the articles. That's just the short-term loss to wikipedia; in the longer term, I get concerned about the mini mafias that form around a particular issue, article or project and force away editors, new and old, who are a bit more individualistic in their thinking – those who don't need to join a tribe and be noticed, but might bring a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge to the overall project. Because creative people just won't stick around in a situation that's basically a popularity contest.
Anyway, I've either parroted back to you much of what you've already said, or I've taken some of your comments out of context to suit my ideology – a bit of both no doubt! Hope I haven't overstayed my welcome.
PS. I'm now thinking George's acoustic part is played in open E, as on "The Light That Has Lighted the World" and other songs. Just a thought ...

Prashant I've been taking a breather from wikipedia for at least a week now, but if you want me to comment you should know by now that telling me that I don't keep promises and shouting in capitals to do something is likely to do the opposite.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Why you always misunderstood. Please, understand that it was you who suggested to hold a PR not me. Also, you have told me that you will edit and change few words. Also, since i type on my iPad (lot of problem and pain) that's why sometimes it becomes hard to type due to capslock and then to lower case. I have always respected you. If you can help. You were the one who promised that if i let the Chopra fac keep going smoothly, you will take look at my future projects. I will be happy if you can edit or comment. Thank you.— Prashant 14:52, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
As I said, there has been a very good reason why I've been taking a break from wikipedia and if you got out of your own way of thinking you'd understand why. Yes, I said I would look at it on July 29 and a week has passed and I still haven't. I really haven't been in the mood for even visiting wikipedia let alone reviewing, frankly I'm rather fed up with the project at the moment. I'll do my best to take a look at it within the next day or two, from what I see the others have already offered some good suggestions.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:30, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Mmm given how inattentive the foundation is to editorial input and how much work actually needs doing on the encyclopedia, sitting around talking about how great or how bad wikipedia is in a bunch of t shirts with wikimania on them and giving Jimbo and Sue some brownies I'm not sure what the point is. Every day needs to be wikimania day online and the foundation to sponsor exciting events and competitions on site if we are to get serious about improving quality on here... But a lot of very productive decent editors on here love wikimania so I'm assuming it has some sort of benefit, not my sort of thing, really.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Priyanka Chopra know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on August 14, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or one of his delegates ( Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), Gimmetoo ( talk · contribs), and Bencherlite ( talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 14, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Priyanka Chopra (born 1982) is an Indian film actress and singer, and was the winner of the Miss World pageant of 2000. She has become one of Bollywood's highest-paid actresses and one of the most popular celebrities in India. She has won a National Film Award for Best Actress and Filmfare Awards in four categories. She made her acting debut in the Tamil film Thamizhan in 2002. The following year, she starred in The Hero, her first Hindi film release, and followed it with the box-office hit Andaaz. She subsequently earned critical recognition as a seductress in the 2004 thriller Aitraaz. By 2006, Chopra had established herself as a leading actress of Hindi cinema with starring roles in the highly successful films Krrish and Don. After receiving mixed reviews for a series of unsuccessful films, she received critical acclaim for her portrayal of unconventional characters, including a troubled model in the 2008 drama Fashion, a feisty Marathi woman in the 2009 caper thriller Kaminey, a serial killer in the 2011 neo-noir 7 Khoon Maaf, and an autistic woman in the 2012 romantic comedy Barfi! She released her first music single " In My City" in 2012, and her second single " Exotic" in 2013. ( Full article...)

Thank you for uploading File:Kouré giraffe.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Here are some potential sources that I had identified. Some may be used already. I think it needs most work in Themes and Historical accuracy, but I have not been able to write in a eloquent manner. I am sure that you can do better. There may be helpful material existing in Jodha_Akbar#Historical_accuracy, Jahangir, Akbar#Matrimonial_alliances, and Anarkali, though some of those have few sources. It is important that people know that this is not a true story. Please have a read through and make improvements where you can. Also know that there has been someone disputing information in the colorization section. See User talk:Shaku india for that.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited OHMS (1980 film), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages New Philadelphia, Cameron Mitchell and John Ramsey ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The 1948 film Chandralekha is my next "wannabe GA", so I was just wondering if u could review it and suggest me any improvements (any improvements can be suggested on the PR page).

I don't know your relationship with these editors, it is of course possible that they have long standing disagreements with you and a grudge against you. I'm commenting merely as a neutral observer and if indeed their comments are also in good faith and they have no history with you then you've been excessively rude and disrespectful in your response which isn't the attitude to have at FAC where you must respect all concerns.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
FAC has improved since 2011 in my opinion. In the old days it seemed FA reviewers wanted to obstruct everything from passing and it seemed almost impossible to produce the "perfect" article that they required. Things generally have much improved today, only it can still be extremely tough at times, particularly on big articles which might be controversial.. And with reviewers like me around now :-] ♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:08, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dr B. Yes, from the outset the lists look very non-notable (and I still believe they are). But they are likely to end up as a keep, so it's a moot point! At least there will be some improvement to them. And great work on The Mountain Eagle. Maybe the original reels will turn up in a vault in Argentina someday.

![]() | On 19 August 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Diego García de Moguer, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Diego García de Moguer was a 16th-century pioneer in exploring the Paraná River, as well as the Sierra de la Plata of the Río de la Plata? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Me going to try to add whole bloody mess of public domain reference sources to commons. Me have already started with the Hastings Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, and me have at least a few more on my computer here to upload later, generally relating to religion/philosophy/mythology sorts of things. Me do think that having them available will make it a bit easier for interested parties to find sources to establish notability, and me might even try to generate a few particular lists like those me have been making for some of the religion type projects listing the articles in those sources, with links to the commons address so others can find them. Me do have a thirty-year old reference book on reference books, the Sheehy, and me will try to get together a list of the reference works included there that are PD to help in finding sources which were still then considered good enough for listing in that source. Considering you are one of our best article creation people, me thought you should know. John Carter ( talk) 23:38, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Commons? You mean wiki source? Excellent news. You'd be lucky if I create 5 articles a month nowadays, but if there's something in particular you want started I'd be glad to help.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:19, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi Dr. Blofeld, Hi John Carter, many greetings and respects to my peers (me no 5 articles a month, nowadays me just keep uploading photos in Commons to avoid feeling an outsider).

Hello! It's getting tough to solve vensatry's comment. I suspect someone has pinned him to do such things. Your comments seems to surprise me all the time. You are taking his side. First you ce all stuffs and when I got 3 supports why these 2 oppose? I hope vensatry writes a film article which is 10 times hard then his cricket articles... Also, no one is ready to copyedit Kaminey. I can't ask more ppl. I'm very busy. Could you please give it a small ce.— Prashant 09:02, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Did you not see my "Didn't anybody ask you to comment in the peer review" comment? Clearly I'm not happy that he was asked and didn't but has now found the time to oppose in the review. Kaminey needs more than just a small copyedit Prashant.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:04, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Prashant you do react very strongly to opposes. But what concerns me is that when you go out of your way to appease somebody and they still oppose..♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:54, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi Doc, since you reviewed the last article about Maya Angelou's poetry, I had up at GAC, would you mind taking at look at my latest, I Shall Not Be Moved (poetry)? I usually don't make a request to bypass the queue, but I need the points if I'm going to move on the finals of the Wikicup, which is something I'd really like to accomplish. By that token, I would greatly appreciate it if you also looked at my most recent FAC ( Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Format of Sesame Street/archive1), which I know is about a different topic, but I'm confident you'll be able to handle it fine. ;) Thanks so much.

Any thought on ce Kaminey as I have resolved all your comments, except ce. Please help as i don't want another GA review. Also, the flc will fail due to an editor who don't even knows about the topic.!!!!! — Prashant 08:53, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
I did not bother? Has it occurred to you that I might have been busy? I haven't the time to overlook every Indian article which goes through on wikipedia you know, I do my best to try to keep track of what is going on as it is. It's just when somebody asks you to peer review something and they don't (that's fine) but then somehow they find the time to deliver a detailed oppose at FLC and still continue to oppose despite valiant attempts to address them then it doesn't look as if you're interested in helping other editors promote content. You were asked because you do often find issues that others haven't identified whatever the subject may be. You have some good points, although I disagree that every trivial appearance she ever made is needed. If constructive criticism at FLC is needed to improve the article and pass it this is a good thing still, but not if progress can't be made. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:45, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
It's entirely your call, you can oppose whatever you want to, but I know where I stand in my perception of the situation and yourself. I failed an article of Prashant's for GA yesterday on Kaminey and did you see his response? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Oh great!! Now here we go, Blofeld don't tell that you are in his side. What I did yesterday was my anger as you have helped many other editors passing their article but ce yourself. But, failed mine with even touching. This has nothing to do with the flc and Vensatry's nonsensical questions. I'm okay with it. Now, its my turn to review his article, then I'll se how much criticism he can tolerate. Also, it is said that editors should response to constructive comments and not nonsensical VENSATRY.— Prashant 17:02, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Yes, and I did the same with the passing of the other of your GA articles and gave you your first ever GA and award on wikipedia didn't I and defended you when an editor put them up for GAR? You took it for granted that I would spend hours copyediting the article just to pass it. Well, it doesn't work like that and you're really lucky I copyedited your other ones and passed them. I gave you two weeks to get some assistance and told you well in advance that I would fail it if you didn't. What part about I can try to make a few improvements but I'm not willing to edit it to the extent that it needs and I think it needs at least two editors working on copyediting it. I'm willing to take a look at it once one or two other editors have copyedited it first didn't you understand? Every post of yours comes across as spoiled and childish Prashant and its not surprising how people respond to you on here. You take everything personally and see everything as some sort of competition and when everything doesn't completely go your way you attack the work of others and always assume the worst. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:11, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
So, you are saying if others are slapping me, I should give them awards and put my other cheek to also me hard. Come on you have seen Vensatry's comments on the flc. First it started with budgets/gross and when I resolved then he came up with a few more. It shows how much he is insecure of that list. Childish? Well, you can say so because I work on every article to make them GAs or FAs but these kind of editors, who are bias and create disruptive environment which is hard to work are very rude to me. They should give others respect. I don't have any problem with you and will not have. I don't mind if you failed it or passed. I respect you a lot. But, with few editors it becomes hard to work, Vensatry's points took 1 whole week to resolve. As, I have now entered in my University life, it has became hard to have long conversations and resolve never ending questions. I just want others to not waste others time.— Prashant 17:29, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Don't mind me failing your articles?? I think I've made it perfectly clear at the FLC and here my perception of the situation. In response you've again resulted to attacks, have got the wrong idea of the situation and where my sympathies lie, and have left a barely legible rant in cap locks on your talk page insulting Vensatry as an editor now. You continue to dig deeper holes for yourself, every post of yours seems to get worse. There's only so much people on here are willing to take of your tirades Prashant. I've been perfectly fair with you and have gone to great lengths to help you out but if you can't help yourself then I'm wasting my time. Enjoy uni life, I hope it will change you for the better.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:40, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
Wowwwwwww!!! Blofeld, I just saw you failing my article. Thanks!!! Tell me what to give you a medal or a star. It's very frustrating that this is first time my article has failed in first attempt. I wanted a help. I don't think the prose was disgusting at all. Far better than GAs like Imran Khan and few new Indian GAs. I thought you'll help me. But, what you did is not fair. I corrected all your issues. Only ce and that is not my job. I see another fail in the form of flc. Sorry, i can't work here anymore due to these kind of behavior towards me. Almost all editors (who themselves are biased and play favorites).— Prashant 11:40, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
You really need to grow up Prashant. I didn't say the prose was disgusting and if you think my decision to fail the article was a personal thing then you're really more childish than I had thought. I said it needs a major copyedit and condensing and as reviewer you can't expect me to do that. I gave you two weeks to make the needed improvements and you barely edited it. The plot is over 1000 words and it's supposed to be max 700. The article just lacks the quality of prose to pass it. To my knowledge you didn't request copyediting assistance and took it for granted that I'd edit it and pass it. Well, things don't work like that. If you nominate an article for GA it is your responsibility to see that it passes. I'm sorry that you can't accept this, but I'm sure Eric and any other decent reviewer here would agree with me. I did warn you that I'd have to fail it if the quality of prose wasn't significantly improved in the two week period. The problems with the prose is reflected in your above message which is riddled with grammar and phrasing problems. As I said above, some time I'll help you out and copyedit it myself and you can renominate it but somebody else will have to do the review. Please drop the silliness, it does you no favours.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:48, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Blofeld -
Given your skill at finding sources for things that seem as if they should be notable, yet there aren't really the sources to prove this - here is something really silly that might yet - I don't know - appeal enough? User:Mabalu/Animal hat. I started writing this, thinking "Oh, there'll be plenty of sources by now" - and then I actually started looking around and couldn't really find that many reliable sources. Odd, given how ridiculously (in more than one way) widespread these hats are, and how much attention they receive, that there doesn't seem to be that much reliable coverage. Fully understand if this is something you aren't interested in, but thought I might ask... (I really need to get back to doing more of the Red Carpet Fashion articles too...) Mabalu ( talk) 17:55, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I would like input regarding This edit. I have had a lengthy discussion with the editor, who has been very civil with me but we have yet to reach an agreement
These are all very reliable sources. The third is especially concrete — his own daughter confirms that he has eight kids by six women. The quote should be restored, because all evidence indicates that it's the truth. There are no legitimate news reports stating who the mystery 8th child is, but that should not prevent the statement and the quote stating how many children he has from being present in the article. 02:15, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
I don't think even Eastwood truly knows how many kids he has. 7 or 8 have been made public but I remember his interview with Ellen in which he has said something like "7 that I know of" or "at least 7 yeah". I wouldn't be surprised if he has at least 10. He was very promiscuous in the 70s and 80s.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:58, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dr. Blofeld. I hope you saw my message on the GA review page. Again, I'm sorry for my choice of wording in reply to your suggestion about full stops in citations, and if I've given the impression that you were being overly fussy. I didn't mean that, and I don't think that, at all. Your comments throughout the review were very welcome and constructive. I had thought the article was going to fail actually, because of the anti-Rolling Stone slant – and I was absolutely fine about the possibility of that happening, because if I couldn't resolve the issue, then I could hardly expect your concerns to evaporate. So I'm grateful for your perseverance – it forced me to find a solution where I didn't think there was one. Besides, as I look up this page with utter awe, you've been responsible for 100 articles achieving GA status (let alone those you've helped take there as a reviewer, like "This Guitar") ... I mean, who would I be to think you're not fully cognisant of what's required of a Good Article!
What I'd always intended to say here on your talk page, whether the article passed or failed, was how inspiring I find much of the text on your user page, Dr B. (Sorry, I can't help myself – hope you don't mind me being so informal?) Back when you first took the nomination and I clicked on your user name, I found myself wishing I'd had those points to hand as something I could've directed other users to perhaps, during petty disagreements in the recent past. You say some insightful things that I think we all need reminding of, some of us more than others.
I've not been on wikipedia for long, but in that relatively short time I've been amazed at the energy and time some contributors put in to maintaining, furthering, confrontational situations with others; the lengths they'll go to, the forums they'll find to take the problem to. It's mostly a result of personal-agenda, letter-of-the-law stuff (and, as I think you say, often laws/rules that they themselves have instigated) with no thought for the spirit of the community. As is the nature of all communities, people think they're right simply because they work so hard not to be seen to be wrong, however they can go about achieving that. Politics, basically. Obviously, I think I'm perfect in this regard(!) ... No, but seriously, as soon as I find myself no longer feeling and thinking like a reader – no longer focused purely on the content of the encyclopaedia and what each article delivers – I'm out of here. What your Encyclopedia Problems and Site Problems reinforce so well, I think, is that so much of the community pages are behind the scenes to readers and utterly trivial in the grand scheme of things. Readers, millions of them, notice whether there is an article covering a certain subject and the content of the article; they don't care about community consensus, MoS issues, MfC, dispute resolution, etc. I don't mean to ridicule those things, but it does get ridiculous when so much energy gets diverted there while so much work remains to be done on the quality of the articles. That's just the short-term loss to wikipedia; in the longer term, I get concerned about the mini mafias that form around a particular issue, article or project and force away editors, new and old, who are a bit more individualistic in their thinking – those who don't need to join a tribe and be noticed, but might bring a lot of enthusiasm and knowledge to the overall project. Because creative people just won't stick around in a situation that's basically a popularity contest.
Anyway, I've either parroted back to you much of what you've already said, or I've taken some of your comments out of context to suit my ideology – a bit of both no doubt! Hope I haven't overstayed my welcome.
PS. I'm now thinking George's acoustic part is played in open E, as on "The Light That Has Lighted the World" and other songs. Just a thought ...
Cheers, Doc. I'd welcome you reviewing another GAN of mine sometime in the future, if you happened to feel inclined. JG66 ( talk) 04:22, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Yes, changed my username. I got really bored of my old name. Coming to the point, I agree to take the GA review, and will start the review on Monday. Thanks, -- Jionpedia ✉ 18:51, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
