You do a lot of heavy-lifting at dyk, and we intersect there a lot, so I don't want this to be blown out of proportion, but I took your Template:Did you know nominations/Isabelle Ciaravola comment as a personal poke. I'm guessing it wasn't meant to be that at all.

BlueMoonset,
Thanks for understanding
I have just discovered enough information so that I think we can get past this hurdle.
The whole theory is that "Yank" Levy was not just a soldier and an assassin, but was a committed Socialist with a socialist's set of values, which influenced his analysis and his goals and presentations. It wasn't just all technical stuff.
Feel to free to use any this stuff. It is also in my sandbox. These are direct quotes from the material I found, so its all got to be paraphrased.

Bluemoonset,
Sigh!
Sorry for the template problem, but even now I don't actually see what I am supposed to be inserting.
I know that trying to get this to a 5X expansion is really hard. I knew that going in, and if it can't be done so be it. i have only myself to blame.
I actually thought that all of the following would count as it was new content, and really wasn't references:
Published works
Notes
Jump up
I recognize that references don't count (and I've added a great many) but these were not just references, but were really content in a different place. Of course, I recognize that WP:DYK is a different place with is own mindset, and that if we are not over the limit then we are out.
I have added more content, and I suppose I could add more. But if its going nowhere (the timing is bad for me, anyway) than why bother. Let me know what you think.

Dear BlueMoonset -
The article United States presidential election, 1844 was removed from GA consideration. On what grounds?
The editor never conducted a complete review of the article, but simply abandoned the effort. When I complained, the reviewer summarily removed the article in retaliation.
What were the grounds for abandoning the review? Why was the article removed? 36hourblock ( talk) 23:45, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, i saw the queues were looking bare at DYK. It is years since i did some queue prep and it seemed a lot harder this time, with instructions on how to actually udnertake certain steps hidden in a few different spots.

Hey BlueMoonset! Could I trouble you to have a look at my above DYK nom? It was approved several days ago, but has hit the skids due to the review's supposed lack of detail and the original reviewer doesn't appear to be active. Cheers! — Bloom6132 ( talk) 03:50, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I know you must get asked this a lot, but could you please weigh in on Template:Did you know nominations/Widener Library. I'm so sick of people making stuff up as they go along. (BTW I wouldn't mind a delay before main-page appearance, however, since I'm hoping a key image will become available next week.) EEng ( talk) 06:07, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
According to you [3] it is unacceptable for a cite to be even one sentence away, though a glance at today's TFA [4] shows that, here again, you don't know what you're talking about:
Had I known BMS was vacationing I wouldn't have bothered him. Please, leave him alone for now, though I'd like to discuss this with him when he's available. EEng ( talk) 14:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
EEng, when I saw that the Widener review had stalled and why, my recollection of previous reviews where the issue of whether Notes counted as prose was raised was that I was pretty sure they didn't. However, I couldn't remember which reviews were involved—not surprising since I've seen thousands at this point—and didn't want to trust "pretty sure" without checking, so since my original DYK mentors have been around far longer than I have, I asked one of them to take a look: Crisco 1492. His post to the nomination template, at my request (since I was leaving for a long weekend and wanted to clear the decks), has confirmed what I recalled. If I had posted originally despite my imperfect surety, I would have said the same thing: Notes don't count toward a 5x expansion. I see that you've subsequently expanded the article, and I've just posted a call for someone to fully review the nomination now that it's now well over a 5x expansion. BlueMoonset ( talk) 02:48, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, given that you are one of the editors I respect most at DYK, I would appreciate it if you could give your view at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Template:Did_you_know_nominations.2FJos.C3.A9_Mar.C3.ADa_Pinedo, you know more about this kind of thing than I do.

This article has been recreated. I am considering beefing it up to 1,500 characters (currently about 1,200) and renominating it; would I title its renomination Template:Did you know nominations/London Buses route 414 (2nd nomination) like AfD or is there another procedure?-- Laun chba ller 18:23, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
I did look at your comments on the talk page and tried my best to change what was there to be in line with your comments. I do feel that it is better to improve what is there instead of just blanking because it is not necessarily in line. If copyediting was the concern, couldn't you have done it on the recent revisions I did instead of just reverting? The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 21:12, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
The DYK nomination for the above article had a picture which is now in PD (released in 1914). You have promoted the nom to prep area 1 without the picture. Dear friend, this is my first DYK nom with a picture. If there's a reason why the picture hadn't been promoted please tell me. Thanks in advance.-- Skr15081997 ( talk) 02:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
It is edited by a bot? OccultZone ( Talk)
Since you seem to have (ostensibly) more knowledge on my bans than I do, may I respectfully ask for a clarification? My understanding (which may well be wrong) is that I'm banned from nominating any article for DYK. But what about other DYK-related actions, such as reviewing nominations or responding to issues on DYK? If I'm allowed to do anything else DYK-related except for nominating an article, then surely I am eligible for a DYKmake credit (tell the difference between nom and make?) Could you please clarify what exactly this DYK ban entails? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 07:09, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
I got a rather nasty shock when I tried to nominate A+E for DYK, because A+E (album) had been at A+E at the time of nomination. What is the procedure here?-- Laun chba ller 19:00, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
I am concerned that my edit preventing the multiple image from squashing text in the above article has been reverted while it's in the DYK nom queue. I passed the article on the understanding that the picture issue had been resolved - and now it has been unresolved. I don't want to get into an edit war. Help please? Thanks. -- Storye book ( talk) 18:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
I have pinged you, Orlady and Materialscientist at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 60#Asking_for_Noting_bot, because I do not have enough bot knowledge to answer the question as to whether a bot, rather than user Preferences, can be employed for an opt out on the DYK notification bot. Hopefully, one of the three of you has such knowledge. — Maile ( talk) 12:17, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello BlueMoonset, I left an alternate hook for the above nomination at its page. Would you check back once? — Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:16, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Finally, to use edit summaries such as "copy edit" when changing a redirect to a texted article is, frankly, inaccurate. You are creating new versions of articles that had been deemed
not notable, which is not a copy edit by any normal definition. When you add new material, it isn't a copy edit either. Putting the "new page" template on some of the articles makes that very clear; as it says right in the template's first sentence, "This page was just created."
BlueMoonset (
talk) 04:03, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
If an across the board policy that had been reached by consensus were being applied, I wouldn't have a problem.There is an across-the-board policy that applies to all articles on Wikipedia: the general notability guideline. This seems to be what you fail to understand. You're arguing that improving the text of the article is enough; Wikipedia says that without demonstrating notability through significant coverage sourcing, all the improvements in the world won't be enough. This is a concept central to Wikipedia, and is one that new editors frequently have trouble understanding, or that seems unreasonable.

I have changed it. I was trying to use it as in "the lyrics are as follows" but I think that it still works with the full stop. The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 07:52, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

I didn't include the Charles Inman hook in prep 2 (which you did) because having it with the Will Straw hook in the same set makes two about politicians/voting. Do you think it would still be ok? Rcsprinter123 (articulate) @ 23:51, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, this nomination is already in the Special Occasions queue, but it doesn't look like anyone actually reviewed it for DYK. Yoninah ( talk) 08:36, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi there, i saw the queues were looking bare at DYK. It is years since i did some queue prep and it seemed a lot harder this time, with instructions on how to actually udnertake certain steps hidden in a few different spots. I hope i havne't made a hash of it. Can you check my work and let me know if I've made mistakes? Ta. hamiltonstone ( talk) 12:38, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
...is here. Did you meet User:BlueMoonlet? §§ Dharmadhyaksha§§ { T/ C} 04:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Blue Moonset, the second article proposed there was not nominated at the time, but would make a nice double nom none the less. Would passing it after resolving issues as a double nom be OK? Thanks, Mat ty. 007 16:56, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey BlueMoonset! Could I trouble you to have a look at my above DYK nom? It was approved several days ago, but has hit the skids due to the review's supposed lack of detail and the original reviewer doesn't appear to be active. Cheers! — Bloom6132 ( talk) 03:50, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, Yoninah ( talk) 14:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
I know you must get asked this a lot, but could you please weigh in on Template:Did you know nominations/Widener Library. I'm so sick of people making stuff up as they go along. (BTW I wouldn't mind a delay before main-page appearance, however, since I'm hoping a key image will become available next week.) EEng ( talk) 06:07, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
According to you [3] it is unacceptable for a cite to be even one sentence away, though a glance at today's TFA [4] shows that, here again, you don't know what you're talking about:
Had I known BMS was vacationing I wouldn't have bothered him. Please, leave him alone for now, though I'd like to discuss this with him when he's available. EEng ( talk) 14:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
EEng, when I saw that the Widener review had stalled and why, my recollection of previous reviews where the issue of whether Notes counted as prose was raised was that I was pretty sure they didn't. However, I couldn't remember which reviews were involved—not surprising since I've seen thousands at this point—and didn't want to trust "pretty sure" without checking, so since my original DYK mentors have been around far longer than I have, I asked one of them to take a look: Crisco 1492. His post to the nomination template, at my request (since I was leaving for a long weekend and wanted to clear the decks), has confirmed what I recalled. If I had posted originally despite my imperfect surety, I would have said the same thing: Notes don't count toward a 5x expansion. I see that you've subsequently expanded the article, and I've just posted a call for someone to fully review the nomination now that it's now well over a 5x expansion. BlueMoonset ( talk) 02:48, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi BlueMoonset, given that you are one of the editors I respect most at DYK, I would appreciate it if you could give your view at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Template:Did_you_know_nominations.2FJos.C3.A9_Mar.C3.ADa_Pinedo, you know more about this kind of thing than I do. Thanks, Mat ty. 007 17:54, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
This article has been recreated. I am considering beefing it up to 1,500 characters (currently about 1,200) and renominating it; would I title its renomination Template:Did you know nominations/London Buses route 414 (2nd nomination) like AfD or is there another procedure?-- Laun chba ller 18:23, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
I did look at your comments on the talk page and tried my best to change what was there to be in line with your comments. I do feel that it is better to improve what is there instead of just blanking because it is not necessarily in line. If copyediting was the concern, couldn't you have done it on the recent revisions I did instead of just reverting? The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 21:12, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
The DYK nomination for the above article had a picture which is now in PD (released in 1914). You have promoted the nom to prep area 1 without the picture. Dear friend, this is my first DYK nom with a picture. If there's a reason why the picture hadn't been promoted please tell me. Thanks in advance.-- Skr15081997 ( talk) 02:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
It is edited by a bot? OccultZone ( Talk)
Since you seem to have (ostensibly) more knowledge on my bans than I do, may I respectfully ask for a clarification? My understanding (which may well be wrong) is that I'm banned from nominating any article for DYK. But what about other DYK-related actions, such as reviewing nominations or responding to issues on DYK? If I'm allowed to do anything else DYK-related except for nominating an article, then surely I am eligible for a DYKmake credit (tell the difference between nom and make?) Could you please clarify what exactly this DYK ban entails? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 07:09, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
I got a rather nasty shock when I tried to nominate A+E for DYK, because A+E (album) had been at A+E at the time of nomination. What is the procedure here?-- Laun chba ller 19:00, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
I am concerned that my edit preventing the multiple image from squashing text in the above article has been reverted while it's in the DYK nom queue. I passed the article on the understanding that the picture issue had been resolved - and now it has been unresolved. I don't want to get into an edit war. Help please? Thanks. -- Storye book ( talk) 18:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
I have pinged you, Orlady and Materialscientist at Wikipedia:Bot requests/Archive 60#Asking_for_Noting_bot, because I do not have enough bot knowledge to answer the question as to whether a bot, rather than user Preferences, can be employed for an opt out on the DYK notification bot. Hopefully, one of the three of you has such knowledge. — Maile ( talk) 12:17, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello BlueMoonset, I left an alternate hook for the above nomination at its page. Would you check back once? — Indian:BIO · [ ChitChat ] 06:16, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Finally, to use edit summaries such as "copy edit" when changing a redirect to a texted article is, frankly, inaccurate. You are creating new versions of articles that had been deemed
not notable, which is not a copy edit by any normal definition. When you add new material, it isn't a copy edit either. Putting the "new page" template on some of the articles makes that very clear; as it says right in the template's first sentence, "This page was just created."

If an across the board policy that had been reached by consensus were being applied, I wouldn't have a problem.There is an across-the-board policy that applies to all articles on Wikipedia: the general notability guideline. This seems to be what you fail to understand. You're arguing that improving the text of the article is enough; Wikipedia says that without demonstrating notability through significant coverage sourcing, all the improvements in the world won't be enough. This is a concept central to Wikipedia, and is one that new editors frequently have trouble understanding, or that seems unreasonable.
Hi. Regarding these edits: [5], [6], [7], can you offer your opinion in this discussion? It is sorely needed. Thank you. Nightscream ( talk) 23:42, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
