Hey Ed. I was wondering if you could help. On this guestbook, bits of my signature (mostly the timestamp) appear in green. I have no idea why that happens. I've had that signature since December and it's never done that before. I'm not even sure if it's the guestbook or the signature which is causing it. I've altered the sig slightly recently, but not to add green anywhere. It's very strange. Thanks. Oliver Fury, Esq. message • contributions 02:37, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
User:Spittlespat retired looks like he wants me to tell you guys. I'm leaving this here since I think almost everyone who knows him is watching Ed's page :) ≈ Chamal talk 14:52, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Your welcome. Had to do something last night at 2.00 in the morning, figured it may as well be something useful :) Also, there are three uncited paragraphs in Massachusetts at the moment; by our usual project standards then, she should still be start. Its not a big deal, just something to keep in mind. Also, I am trying to track down info on the battleship in the university library and here at home, so with luck there may be some extra offline citations coming in the next few days.

Hello Ed. I know that you removed yourself from the peer review bit of WikiProject Novels, however as an editor I trust, and one who has not been involved with the article I'm about to mention, I was wondering if you'd be able to have either a quick check of the article or do the full Good Article Review for the Steven Erikson article. Myself and Truthkeeper88 think it is up to standard, however we've both edited it so we're probably not the best people for an objective look at the article. Also, thanks for the support vote in the RFA - I withdrew it because the consensus seemed to be that it was a bit premature. Best regards, Alan16 ( talk) 23:34, 7 August 2009 (UTC).

We now have a new article in the Iowa class battleship FT pool: USS Missouri grounding incident. FT rules state that we have 3 months to bring this article up to Featured Status and add it to the FT train or we lose FT status, and as you may imagine I am not hot to have that happen. Any help you can provide to get this article up to FA status ASAP would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, TomStar81 ( Talk) 07:11, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
P.S.: The article was close to becoming the 3,000,000 article, it was created during the very minute of the actual article: [2] - MBK 004 08:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I believe I have addressed all of your points besides - "Is it saying that Giraud was most likely the brother of one of the two women being courted?" That information is not available because Giraud's name does not come up with the information. I don't think Demetrius Zograffo knew of Giraud when the information was recorded so there would be no way to determine if Giraud could have been a son with one of the women or with some other woman. Ottava Rima ( talk) 15:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
I finally completed adding more information to the article. I pulled as much additional info as I could from the sources I have, but I'm still not sure if it is detailed or comprehensive enough to have a chance at FA, but I think it might could pass A-class if you feel it should be given a try. Cla68 ( talk) 10:29, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
(out) - oh really, that's both interesting and highly annoying. Thanks for all of your help with this article! I'll try to get to fixing it up after this weekend. — Ed (Talk • Contribs) 19:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
In regards to this edit, I should remind you that per WP:LEAD, the lead should summarize events in the article, so you need to either add the paragraph into the article elsewhere as well or move it entirely. It is something interesting, but it might verge on WP:TRIVIA. - MBK 004 03:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Okay all, I've made a decision: I'm going to wait a little longer so that I can get more experience at DYK. Seeing as I will primarily be using the bit there (to transfer hooks into queues, etc.), I probably need some more time with actually putting updates together. I've already put together two in two days, so perhaps sometime in a week or two? Cheers, — Ed (Talk • Contribs) 17:53, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
