I have added the most important info from the Confidential episode to the article but I haven't watched the commentary yet and I'm busy the next few days; the earliest I can get to it is probably next Wednesday (the 27th). It is possible to extend a GA review but in the case that doesn't work I will work on it with you and it can be renominated. I have a few more sources that may help and some other things (background, casting) can be stolen from other articles. I'm going to attempt to work on the publicity/broadcast/reception to make it more like " The Impossible Astronaut" and such (typically broadcast and reception go together). It takes practice to find information and sources but it's out there somewhere! Glimmer721 talk 03:15, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

I had a more thorough look at your article, and I'm not quite happy with it. The most basic issue seems to be that there's extremely little information on Eng. The article even openly admits that ("Little is known about Tan Seet Eng's personal life"). The coverage of his non-private life is not much better. Thus the article veers off-topic and discusses the sources for information on Eng in about as much detail as Eng himself. It also records clearly irrelevant trivia - or would you say it's a significant part of his biography that he wasn't named after his arrest? There's also a couple of weasel words ("it has been said", "rumored to be", "some believe"). Huon ( talk) 22:35, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey Matty.007, it's me, exoplanetaryscience. I just created List of supernovae in 185, and I was wondering if you could review it? Just fyi, I'm going to make other lists for supernovae in 386, 393, 1006, etc... It would be helpful if you could keep away the critical reviews before the list comes out?
Also could you make a navigatable area for people to look up supernovae in the different years please? That would be really helpful.

Usually I'm ok with lifting something after a good amount of time has passed, but in this case the issues were so severe (I should note that he still hasn't bothered to fix the hundreds of issues from back then) that I'm reluctant to allow anything from him whatsoever at DYK. I don't think nominations were discussed one way or the other, but to me I don't like the idea. I'd say to ask at DYK, but I don't knowhow many remaining people there are familiar with the backstory. Wizardman 03:24, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Matty, just a quick heads up - the hook for Albert I. Prettyman that you moved into Prep 1 has a DAB link for Hamilton College (it's also a DAB in the article). I'm afraid I have no idea which college it's actually supposed to be so can't manage to change it. I don't know if you might find it helpful but I use a script that shows the status of links on articles - details of it are here. SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:18, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Matty,
I put a couple of links on those two templates where you nominated Billy Hathorn articles. I just don't want you to take it personally. Seems Billy Hathorn has been banned from DYK since 2011. I didn't know it myself until this past June when it came up on the DYK talk page. I don't know how any nominator could know this unless they happened to see it on the talk page at some point. Anyway, I didn't want you to think it was anything you did, or didn't do. It's just one of those flukes that you never know about until you stumble over it. — Maile ( talk) 00:46, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

The Dream of the Blue Turtles" which featured a number of very famous jazz musicians including
Branford Marsalis. At the start of the track, Branford asks "What key is this in? Wait, wait!" [

Hi Matty, just a note as I'm beginning to worry you think I was 'having a go' at you when discussing QPQs on WT:DYK - this was certainly not aimed at you, nor most of the other regulars at DYK as I do appreciate there are many reasons why nominations are not self noms. My concern is that recently a considerable number of these have been nominated with no QPQs (nor, as far as I can ascertain, any notification to the article creators/expanders). By trying not to appear as if I was being 'pointy' or specifying one editor I seem to have inadvertently managed to upset everyone else along the way!

Hi, I just wanted to ask a question regarding my DYK nomination that you promoted ( Template:Did you know nominations/Mick Carter, Carl White). This is going up on Christmas day from midday to midnight, right? Dyer will make his debut at 8.30pm, so the tense in the hook ("who debuts as") will be wrong after this.

December Notes from the

The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page! The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! ![]() Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December.

Two comments on the DPR draft: Firstly, you must be careful about keeping apart fact and allegation, and you should clarify whether the government evidence for certain facts connects DPR or Ulbricht with those facts. You have sources that explicitly say Ulbricht is alleged to be DPR; that should be part of the "arrest" section's first line. Secondly, you should double-check that you cite the right sources for each claim. For example, the source for the "masked protagonist from The Princess Bride" does not actually say so, but the Forbes article cited as your fourth source does.

Hello! Your submission of
Template:Did you know nominations/The Taste (UK TV series) 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.

Usually I'm ok with lifting something after a good amount of time has passed, but in this case the issues were so severe (I should note that he still hasn't bothered to fix the hundreds of issues from back then) that I'm reluctant to allow anything from him whatsoever at DYK. I don't think nominations were discussed one way or the other, but to me I don't like the idea. I'd say to ask at DYK, but I don't knowhow many remaining people there are familiar with the backstory.

Hi Matty, just a quick heads up - the hook for Albert I. Prettyman that you moved into Prep 1 has a DAB link for Hamilton College (it's also a DAB in the article). I'm afraid I have no idea which college it's actually supposed to be so can't manage to change it. I don't know if you might find it helpful but I use a script that shows the status of links on articles - details of it are here. SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:18, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello Matty. Thanks for your interest on nominating Julián Ladera for DYK. Please feel free to do so too. Besides, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers! MusiCitizen ( talk) 18:33, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Matty,
I put a couple of links on those two templates where you nominated Billy Hathorn articles. I just don't want you to take it personally. Seems Billy Hathorn has been banned from DYK since 2011. I didn't know it myself until this past June when it came up on the DYK talk page. I don't know how any nominator could know this unless they happened to see it on the talk page at some point. Anyway, I didn't want you to think it was anything you did, or didn't do. It's just one of those flukes that you never know about until you stumble over it. — Maile ( talk) 00:46, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Matty.007, where are the copyvios in
Maureen Chiquet from? If you can identify them, I'll fix em up asap
("Shadows in the Rain" is a song from 1980
The Police album
Zenyatta Mondatta. It was revisited on
Sting's 1985 solo album "
The Dream of the Blue Turtles" which featured a number of very famous jazz musicians including
Branford Marsalis. At the start of the track, Branford asks "What key is this in? Wait, wait!" [
citation needed] I would add a YouTube link, except they are all copyvios themselves.)

Hi there. It seems like just now it's only you and me promoting DYKs, and there are a few languishing approved in the older parts of nomination area that I can't promote due to either reviewing or nominating them myself. Specifically, they are:
Obviously I would want you to also double-check them, but they are all pretty good articles (I think) and ought ideally to be making their way into the queue. - Kieran ( talk) 18:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Can Emil Rebreanu be put back into a queue? Thanks.-- Doug Coldwell ( talk) 19:25, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Matty, just a note as I'm beginning to worry you think I was 'having a go' at you when discussing QPQs on WT:DYK - this was certainly not aimed at you, nor most of the other regulars at DYK as I do appreciate there are many reasons why nominations are not self noms. My concern is that recently a considerable number of these have been nominated with no QPQs (nor, as far as I can ascertain, any notification to the article creators/expanders). By trying not to appear as if I was being 'pointy' or specifying one editor I seem to have inadvertently managed to upset everyone else along the way!

I was not planning on submitting a DYK for the Wright Opera House Block; if you'd like to do so please go ahead. (I did a number of DYKs a while back, but then decided I'd rather not spend the extra time. No problem if someone else wants to spend the extra time, though. :)) Andrew Jameson ( talk) 12:24, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to ask a question regarding my DYK nomination that you promoted ( Template:Did you know nominations/Mick Carter, Carl White). This is going up on Christmas day from midday to midnight, right? Dyer will make his debut at 8.30pm, so the tense in the hook ("who debuts as") will be wrong after this. Is the hook allowed to be changed while it's on the main page (to "who debuted as")? – anemone projectors– 19:29, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

December Notes from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page! The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! ![]() Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December. For complete information, please have a look at the election page. – Your drive coordinators: Torchiest and Torchiest, Baffle gab1978 and Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95 and Jonesey95, and The Utahraptor and The Utahraptor To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Two comments on the DPR draft: Firstly, you must be careful about keeping apart fact and allegation, and you should clarify whether the government evidence for certain facts connects DPR or Ulbricht with those facts. You have sources that explicitly say Ulbricht is alleged to be DPR; that should be part of the "arrest" section's first line. Secondly, you should double-check that you cite the right sources for each claim. For example, the source for the "masked protagonist from The Princess Bride" does not actually say so, but the Forbes article cited as your fourth source does.
