Hi 4u1e, I saw your name on the list of volunteers for peer review. I just nominated a piece on movie mogul Jack Warner. The article includes a good deal of information, and it's reasonably engaging, but I know it can be improved. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, -- twelsht ( talk) 15:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
I wrote: "Kulwicki was buried in his family plot at Saint Adalbert Cemetery in Milwaukee, consistent with other Polish Americans in the cemetery." Would you help me with wording this sentence? What I was trying to accomplish is saying where he was buried, and to add that he is buried in a family plot. These family plots were done by people with Polish ancestry. Twelsht has commented that more Polish American things probably should be added to the article, and this is a great place to add a comment to reinforce that thought.
I went to the cemetery to take the picture of his gravestone, and I found out that his family's stone has listed around 10 family members including his mother and brother. This portion of the cemetery is a Polish American portion, and has several family plots like his families. Any thoughts about how to reword this so its less confusing?

I was wondering if it might be possible for you to give a quick peer review of my Lancia LC2 article as I'm considering nominating it for GA. Mostly just looking for another pair of eyes to see anything I may have stupidly missed or anything that you think might make for a better read. I know it isn't the usual F1 stuff, but not all that different. Thanks in advance. The359 ( talk) 23:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I am incredibly pleased that we have some backers of our new letter. So it is decided that we will go on and publish one for you every month. Don't forget to give us your ideas. I just thought that I should point out that this is our official first edition, as the last one was a pilot. However, we will keep with Issue II onwards! I would also like to thank Diniz and Chubbennaitor for helping me live out my newsletter idea. Happy Reading! - LB22 (talk to me!) Email me! 18:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm. Could just be. My recollection was that they had been used for only one GP, but even that wouldn't preclude their having been spotted in testing at the end of the previous year. First Google result gives the BBC report [4], which gets the issues spectacularly wrong anyway - it was left/right not front/back, and the accusation was four wheel steering, not four wheel drive. Have to look for some cite of the journalist story, I suppose. -- Ian Dalziel ( talk) 18:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, 4u1e. I am going to nominate the Oil shale and Oil shale extraction articles for FAC. As the last peer reviews of these articles were not very productive, I wonder if you agree to take a look and give some advice and hard critics before proceeding with the FAC nomination? Thank you in advance. Beagel ( talk) 19:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.
There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).
If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I admire your dedication to the sport! By the way, I printed up a copy of the article last night and read it this afternoon. It a great piece! Most of the things I caught were minor style issues, e.g., inconsistent rendering of numbers and inconsistent comma usage. One thing: Despite the fact that Mosley eschewed a career in politics, it might be interesting to know if he evolved in this department. Has he commented at all on his father's pre-war political career, or is this a subject he avoids? This isn't central to the story, of course, but it might be an interesting tidbit. I'll join the FAC momentarily. Cheers, -- twelsht ( talk) 01:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

From a quick look through the discussion and the problem I noticed, I would have to agree with your concerns about copyright. The issues I have usually dealth with have been fairly clear cut, copying of large chunks of encylopaedic text, which can clearly be written in many different ways. Obviously this is is a bit different since as it's from a specific law, rewording it is not necessarily easily but I agree simply copying it in the way that was done, particularly given that this is an English translation (of a French translation?) of an Armenian law is probably not acceptable. However I don't have the time at the moment to look into it in depth, I'll try tomorrow. In the mean time, you may want to consider asking at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems to see what others say.

Hi,
Thanks for your help with rongorongo. It's now up for FA, if you wish to comment. [6] — kwami ( talk) 01:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Get ready for a huge vandalism storm, in case you haven't seen the front page of todays News of The World, there's not a very nice headline involving Mosley. Someone's left a comment on the very bottom of the talkpage about it. This will almost certainly affect the FA-nom. D.M.N. ( talk) 13:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Well that was bad timing! Still, I can't deny the relevance of the story, given there's a good chance it will end his time as FIA president.
Regarding cut and pasting by journalists: they're violating Wikipedia's copyright provisions if they do so. Not by copying, since Wikipedia's content is free to use, but by not acknowledging the source, and because under the GFDL license, if you copy Wiipedia's content into your work, the resulting work must be licensed under the GFDL. I'll be surprised if any of the newspapers have done that. Having said that, at a first glance I didn't see any direct lifts, other than quotes.
Regarding the FA comments on writing, it's all part of the process. Laserbrain's are all pretty minor stuff, and a fair few of them are unfamiliarity with the topic (Hyphenated 'March-BMW' is of course completely normal usage in this context, for example!). Tony's are probably more serious, and tougher to fix, but he is usually correct, so it's best to just learn from the experience!

well was a tad unfair that you did all the work! The Toyota issue isn't something i know much about, it didn't seem to generate much coverage. Max is taking up too much of my day job, I am thinking about moving on to Jean Todt or Ron Dennis (my dark horse tip for the next president! of the FIA). Anything else in the project that you have seen that is important but doesn't have much wikipedia coverage? But ideally i'd like see Max to FA first. Tommy turrell ( talk) 17:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Howdy! I didn't actually put the original NPOV box up there, just changed it to a NPOV-section box. I would guess that the section is considered non-nuetral by some as the tone sometimes seems deriding at times, probably owing to the fact that many of the cited articles/topics in the section are of a deriding/controversial nature. Obvisouly pretty girls can't racce ;) Zue Jay ( talk) 03:26, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I have 2 reliable sources that contradict each other. One is a book, published my Macmillan, that consists of quotes from either the racer or someone close to them. In this case, the chapter is written by Alan Kulwicki's crew chief Paul Andrews (NASCAR). He says that Zerex backed out as sponsor at the beginning of the 1990 season. SpeedwayMedia backs him up, although it is not necessarily very reliable. Multiple other reliable sources, including Speed Channel and RacingReference.com say that they left after the 1990 season.

Hello. I'm looking for a copyedit/peer review on the solar energy page and your name came recommended by Beagel. I'd appreciate any and all help. Mrshaba ( talk) 20:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I've gone through the article and improved every ref that I could to more reliable sources. That caused me to find more material to expand the article. For the remaining items sourced by the "less than ideal" sources, I don't think that they are controversial so they probably won't even need to be sourced. I might remove them otherwise. I'll do a spell check and final reading, then I think it's ready for FAC. Would you recommend a second peer review? Either way, would you look it over again at the FA level, especially the statements sourced by "less than ideal" sources? Thanks for your copyediting and guidance!

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.
1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...
2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.
3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.
Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I am contacting you for your thoughts as you are one of the principal contributors to this article. As you may or may not know, it has been nominated by PheonixRMB as a featured article candidate. The FAC is not going too well, with the current consensus being that the nomination is premature and that much work needs to done to get it up to the requisite standard. I would be grateful if you would express an opinion on the article's FAC candidacy page. As FAC is currently desperately short of reviewers, withdrawing the article – and thus saving reviewer time and effort – would be one option. Thanks for your time, -- ROGER DAVIES talk 16:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I have completed annother bit of re-writing. The more I delve into this, the more confusing it becomes, as 'Thingmen' seems to have also been used to refer to viking feudal overlords. There are also multiple stories over the unit. Anyway, rather than totally toss away all that was there, as someone had obviously done alot fo work (though only using scandanavian sources for the most part it seems), I /think/ I've got it to a good state and will port it over.

De-listing of Max MosleySo you know, Mosley got de-listed as a GA. See its talk page for details. Narson ( talk) 21:24, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Wow, it has to be renominated, what a load of crap. Narson ( talk) 08:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Notability of the Carmarthen DragonsHi 4u1e, Could you please take a look at Talk:Carmarthen Dragons? The original author has removed the notability tags without discussion, and I would like some independent opinions about the issue. Thanks, -- Slashme ( talk) 05:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC) Brabham photo identificationHi 4u1e. Could you possibly take a look at this photo from the Goodwood Festival of Speed and identify the chassis for me? It has a BT44B livery, but a photo of what appears to be the same car in 2007 has been catalogued as a BT42.-- Diniz (talk) 22:20, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Cite tags and mosley refsI've added in some cites to remove the last of the citation needed things, I also added a little to one sentence so it wasn't just sitting there saying something with zero context for what that meant. If this doesn't pass muster let me know. If thing isn't put back to GA, then someone deserves a good flogging (appropiately). Narson ( talk) 15:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the various tweaks/copy-edits to the article. I appreciate it. D.M.N. ( talk) 18:13, 7 August 2008 (UTC) Re: Real MadridNot to sound rude or anything, but last time I checked, there was a peer review open, and I didn't want to interfere, thus giving the article more time to be improved. Now, that I've been to the talkpage, I guess the PR is closed. I will review the article tomorrow, just to let you know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC) LockdownThanks for the second opinion, I didn't even know about it until IMatthew said he wanted one and I saw it on nominations. I'll try to take care of everything you said. I've been working on it since June to get it to GA, this is my first article I've ever wrote. I'm tired of the freaking thing. I've asked someone for a Copyedit, as well as asked WP:PW about a copyedit. I fixed the problem you said about the reference. I had the wrong one placed there. If there is anymore problems after the copyedit, if there is one, then let me know, because I would really like to get it to GA so I can get rid of it.-- Will C 23:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello again. I saw your comments on the Lockdown review page. I just wanted to clarify that I really appreciate your help and wasn't trying to criticize you. You did a great job of identifying areas for improvement. The review has been a little different, as a second opinion request is usually just a request for clarification, but the original reviewer seems to have assumed that you were taking over the review altogether. I totally understand that real life commitments need to take priority, so please don't worry about this review. Someone will come along soon, so things will be fine. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 17:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Max MosleyHi, I've reviewed and relisted Max Mosley as a GA. Good work on addressing the concerns raised!

Apokrif ( talk) 01:41, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Resolute, that wasn't a proper review, as a result the article's been sent back to GAN. The reviewer also failed to create a subpage, thus screwing up the article. See this and this for more info.

Hi 4u1e, I saw your name on the list of volunteers for peer review. I just nominated a piece on movie mogul Jack Warner.

I wrote: "Kulwicki was buried in his family plot at Saint Adalbert Cemetery in Milwaukee, consistent with other Polish Americans in the cemetery." Would you help me with wording this sentence? What I was trying to accomplish is saying where he was buried, and to add that he is buried in a family plot. These family plots were done by people with Polish ancestry. Twelsht has commented that more Polish American things probably should be added to the article, and this is a great place to add a comment to reinforce that thought.
I went to the cemetery to take the picture of his gravestone, and I found out that his family's stone has listed around 10 family members including his mother and brother. This portion of the cemetery is a Polish American portion, and has several family plots like his families. Any thoughts about how to reword this so its less confusing?

I was wondering if it might be possible for you to give a quick peer review of my Lancia LC2 article as I'm considering nominating it for GA.

Hmmm. Could just be. My recollection was that they had been used for only one GP, but even that wouldn't preclude their having been spotted in testing at the end of the previous year. First Google result gives the BBC report [4], which gets the issues spectacularly wrong anyway - it was left/right not front/back, and the accusation was four wheel steering, not four wheel drive. Have to look for some cite of the journalist story, I suppose. -- Ian Dalziel ( talk) 18:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, 4u1e. I am going to nominate the Oil shale and Oil shale extraction articles for FAC.

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.
There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).
If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 23:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I admire your dedication to the sport! By the way, I printed up a copy of the article last night and read it this afternoon. It a great piece! Most of the things I caught were minor style issues, e.g., inconsistent rendering of numbers and inconsistent comma usage. One thing: Despite the fact that Mosley eschewed a career in politics, it might be interesting to know if he evolved in this department. Has he commented at all on his father's pre-war political career, or is this a subject he avoids? This isn't central to the story, of course, but it might be an interesting tidbit. I'll join the FAC momentarily. Cheers, -- twelsht ( talk) 01:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

From a quick look through the discussion and the problem I noticed, I would have to agree with your concerns about copyright. The issues I have usually dealth with have been fairly clear cut, copying of large chunks of encylopaedic text, which can clearly be written in many different ways. Obviously this is is a bit different since as it's from a specific law, rewording it is not necessarily easily but I agree simply copying it in the way that was done, particularly given that this is an English translation (of a French translation?) of an Armenian law is probably not acceptable. However I don't have the time at the moment to look into it in depth, I'll try tomorrow. In the mean time, you may want to consider asking at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems to see what others say.

Hi,
Thanks for your help with rongorongo. It's now up for FA, if you wish to comment. [6] — kwami ( talk) 01:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Get ready for a huge vandalism storm, in case you haven't seen the front page of todays News of The World, there's not a very nice headline involving Mosley. Someone's left a comment on the very bottom of the talkpage about it. This will almost certainly affect the FA-nom. D.M.N. ( talk) 13:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Well that was bad timing! Still, I can't deny the relevance of the story, given there's a good chance it will end his time as FIA president.
Regarding cut and pasting by journalists: they're violating Wikipedia's copyright provisions if they do so. Not by copying, since Wikipedia's content is free to use, but by not acknowledging the source, and because under the GFDL license, if you copy Wiipedia's content into your work, the resulting work must be licensed under the GFDL. I'll be surprised if any of the newspapers have done that. Having said that, at a first glance I didn't see any direct lifts, other than quotes.
Regarding the FA comments on writing, it's all part of the process. Laserbrain's are all pretty minor stuff, and a fair few of them are unfamiliarity with the topic (Hyphenated 'March-BMW' is of course completely normal usage in this context, for example!). Tony's are probably more serious, and tougher to fix, but he is usually correct, so it's best to just learn from the experience!

Howdy! I didn't actually put the original NPOV box up there, just changed it to a NPOV-section box. I would guess that the section is considered non-nuetral by some as the tone sometimes seems deriding at times, probably owing to the fact that many of the cited articles/topics in the section are of a deriding/controversial nature.

I have 2 reliable sources that contradict each other. One is a book, published my Macmillan, that consists of quotes from either the racer or someone close to them. In this case, the chapter is written by Alan Kulwicki's crew chief Paul Andrews (NASCAR). He says that Zerex backed out as sponsor at the beginning of the 1990 season. SpeedwayMedia backs him up, although it is not necessarily very reliable. Multiple other reliable sources, including Speed Channel and RacingReference.com say that they left after the 1990 season.

Hello. I'm looking for a copyedit/peer review on the solar energy page and your name came recommended by Beagel. I'd appreciate any and all help. Mrshaba ( talk) 20:50, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I've gone through the article and improved every ref that I could to more reliable sources. That caused me to find more material to expand the article. For the remaining items sourced by the "less than ideal" sources, I don't think that they are controversial so they probably won't even need to be sourced. I might remove them otherwise. I'll do a spell check and final reading, then I think it's ready for FAC. Would you recommend a second peer review? Either way, would you look it over again at the FA level, especially the statements sourced by "less than ideal" sources? Thanks for your copyediting and guidance!

Thank you for you work as a peer review volunteer. Since March, there has been a concerted effort to make sure all peer review requests get some response. Requests that have gone three days or longer without a substantial response are listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. I have three requests to help this continue.
1) If you are asked to do a peer review, please ask the person who made the request to also do a review, preferably of a request that has not yet had feedback. This is fairly simple, but helps. For example when I review requests on the backlog list, I close with Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, ...
2) While there are several people who help with the backlog, lately I have been doing up to 3 or 4 peer reviews a day and can not keep this up much longer. We need help. Since there are now well over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, if each volunteer reviewed just one PR request without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog. To help spread out the load, I suggest those willing pick a day of the month and do a review that day (for example, my first edit was on the 8th, so I could pick the 8th). Please pick a peer review request with no responses yet, if possible off the backlog list. If you want, leave a note on my talk page as to which day you picked and I will remind you each month.
3) I have made some proposals to add some limits to peer review requests at Wikipedia_talk:Peer_review#Proposed_limits. The idea is to prevent any one user from overly burdening the process. These seem fairly reasonable (one PR request per editor per day, only four total PR requests per editor at a time, PR requests with cleanup banners can be delisted (like GAN quick fail), and wait two weeks to relist a PR request after it is archived), but have gotten no feedback in one week. If you have any thoughts on these, please weigh in.
Thanks again for your help and in advance for any assistance with the backlog. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 20:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I am contacting you for your thoughts as you are one of the principal contributors to this article. As you may or may not know, it has been nominated by PheonixRMB as a featured article candidate. The FAC is not going too well, with the current consensus being that the nomination is premature and that much work needs to done to get it up to the requisite standard. I would be grateful if you would express an opinion on the article's FAC candidacy page. As FAC is currently desperately short of reviewers, withdrawing the article – and thus saving reviewer time and effort – would be one option.

I have completed annother bit of re-writing. The more I delve into this, the more confusing it becomes, as 'Thingmen' seems to have also been used to refer to viking feudal overlords. There are also multiple stories over the unit. Anyway, rather than totally toss away all that was there, as someone had obviously done alot fo work (though only using scandanavian sources for the most part it seems), I /think/ I've got it to a good state and will port it over. What do you think? Oh, it is at User:Narson/Thingmen Narson ( talk) 18:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

De-listing of Max MosleySo you know, Mosley got de-listed as a GA. See its talk page for details. Narson ( talk) 21:24, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Wow, it has to be renominated, what a load of crap. Narson ( talk) 08:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Notability of the Carmarthen DragonsHi 4u1e, Could you please take a look at Talk:Carmarthen Dragons? The original author has removed the notability tags without discussion, and I would like some independent opinions about the issue. Thanks, -- Slashme ( talk) 05:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC) Brabham photo identificationHi 4u1e. Could you possibly take a look at this photo from the Goodwood Festival of Speed and identify the chassis for me? It has a BT44B livery, but a photo of what appears to be the same car in 2007 has been catalogued as a BT42.-- Diniz (talk) 22:20, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Cite tags and mosley refsI've added in some cites to remove the last of the citation needed things, I also added a little to one sentence so it wasn't just sitting there saying something with zero context for what that meant. If this doesn't pass muster let me know. If thing isn't put back to GA, then someone deserves a good flogging (appropiately). Narson ( talk) 15:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the various tweaks/copy-edits to the article. I appreciate it. D.M.N. ( talk) 18:13, 7 August 2008 (UTC) Re: Real MadridNot to sound rude or anything, but last time I checked, there was a peer review open, and I didn't want to interfere, thus giving the article more time to be improved. Now, that I've been to the talkpage, I guess the PR is closed. I will review the article tomorrow, just to let you know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:40, 12 August 2008 (UTC) LockdownThanks for the second opinion, I didn't even know about it until IMatthew said he wanted one and I saw it on nominations. I'll try to take care of everything you said. I've been working on it since June to get it to GA, this is my first article I've ever wrote. I'm tired of the freaking thing. I've asked someone for a Copyedit, as well as asked WP:PW about a copyedit. I fixed the problem you said about the reference. I had the wrong one placed there. If there is anymore problems after the copyedit, if there is one, then let me know, because I would really like to get it to GA so I can get rid of it.-- Will C 23:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello again. I saw your comments on the Lockdown review page. I just wanted to clarify that I really appreciate your help and wasn't trying to criticize you. You did a great job of identifying areas for improvement. The review has been a little different, as a second opinion request is usually just a request for clarification, but the original reviewer seems to have assumed that you were taking over the review altogether. I totally understand that real life commitments need to take priority, so please don't worry about this review. Someone will come along soon, so things will be fine. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 17:52, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Max MosleyHi, I've reviewed and relisted Max Mosley as a GA. Good work on addressing the concerns raised! Regards, Reso lute 21:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC) http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:4u1e&action=edit§ion=62 Editing User talk:4u1e (section) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hi, I don't understand why you reverted the reference to the judgment. I looked at some of the other links and I didn't find the judgment text in any of these pages; moreover, even the neutral citation of the judgment is missing in the current article. Apokrif ( talk) 01:41, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Resolute, that wasn't a proper review, as a result the article's been sent back to GAN. The reviewer also failed to create a subpage, thus screwing up the article. See this and this for more info. D.M.N. ( talk) 07:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC) Considering the shit storm for GAN, can you imagine the FAC? The very gates of hell would freaking open or some crap. And I thought getting John Lewis to deliver th right furniture undamaged was difficult. Narson ( talk) 21:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC) The forms......must be obeyed. And filled out. In triplicate. This is meaningless bureaucracy really, le sigh. Narson ( talk) 09:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Motor Sport digital archiveHi 4u1e. This is a bit of an off-the-wall question, but would you recommend the Motor Sport digital archive CDs? It's my birthday soon and I was thinking of buying one or more of the decade ones.-- Diniz (talk) 19:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Max Mosley under GA ReviewHello. I'd like to inform you that I have decided to review Max Mosley against the Good article criteria to determine whether it should be relisted as a Good Article. As you know, this article was nominated by User:Giggy on your behalf after it survived a reassessment. The review process may take up to seven days. I will let you know when my first review is complete. Thank you, Robert Skyhawk ( Talk) 19:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC) There's a lot of complaining happening on the article's talk page about with birth city with the whole Italy vs. Croatia. Another opinion would be very helpful. Do you understand WP:NCGN? Royal broil 15:06, 28 August 2008 (UTC) September issue Newsletter
