Top notch job on WP: S GAMES's page. Really I'm amazed. Can I make one suggestion though? Maybe include the talk page link between main and particpants as one of the tabs? Just an idea.-- Clyde ( talk) 16:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey Ikiroid, my past experience with you has been that you are a good enough writer to bring an article up to FA. I know that video games aren't your style, but I have an article in an FAC, 1080° Snowboarding, that needs a copyeditor real bad. If you have time, could you take a look at it?-- Clyde ( talk) 15:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Hiya Clyde. When you get the chance, could you please answer this question for me. Thanks! G1 gg y ! Review me! 00:17, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if you play video games, but I said in the article if you lose, you restart. How excatly do I reference that? I have heard of referencing the game itself, but I've only done that once before quite a while ago, and I don't remember how. Otherwise I don't know many people who would challenge "the player must retire and restart the race." Do you think I should reference the game anyway?-- Clyde ( talk) 04:48, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey Jaco I know the GCotW is for stubs or articles in need of cleanup, but do you think it would be a good idea to finish with video game per this? I dunno, seems fitting.-- Clyde ( talk) 20:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The Working Man's Barnstar | |
For your tireless work on Age of Mythology and AoM:TT, I award you this barnstar. Use it well! G1 gg y ! Review me! |
Thank you I'm honored, that's actually my first barnstar. This weird man best sums up my happiness.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Clyde Miller ( talk • contribs)
I rarely go to the Talk:Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You should check it out, its like I'm discussing policy with 12-year-olds. Maybe I am? FMF| contact 02:29, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Dear Clyde Miller, thanks for your support in my recent RfA, it was, however, unsuccessful. I am not the type of editor to be disheartened by such a result, and have gained much experience. If you have anything to contribute by way of improvements or comments, please don’t hesitate to tell me.
I will run again. Until then, Cheers, Dfrg. msc 08:28, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

--What am I supposed to put in the soundtrack section?
In the FAC for 1080° Snowboarding you gave me some help with the lead, and since then the article has had work done to it. Your finishing quote was "Not professionally written, neither here nor throughout." Since you wrote that, I have since acted and done some of your excersises improving and focusing the prose. At the urging of BQZip01, I converted the passive voice sentences in the article to active voice. I'm still looking for the manual of the game, but I was wondering if you have any more suggestions regarding the prose. I'm not asking for a copyedit or specific changes, and I know you're a busy man, but if you have time, could you give me some general tips, even on it's FAC page if you like (like section X and Y have structure problems etc). It would be appreciated.-- Clyde ( talk) 17:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, it didn't get promoted, too bad. I'm sure it will eventually. I just wanted to thank you for asking for my assistance in the first place. I thought my copyediting skills were a lot better than they actually were (as I discovered during the FAC), but if I still managed to improve the quality of the article even a bit, I'm happy. I hope you are with my contributions to the article as well. Thanks again, and see you around. Green451 03:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've gone and done it and the Aggie Band article is up for Featured Article status. Any feedback (especially support) would be greatly appreciated. — BQZip01 — talk 08:48, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
I created a proposal. Please comment here.
Note: Please analyze each proposal on their own validity - do not reject a proposal just because you rejected a different one. - A Link to the Past (talk) 19:21, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Well folks, thanks to your reviews and comments, the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band is now a featured article on Wikipedia. It should take a day or so to update, but it's a done deal. Thanks for the help, Clyde Miller. — BQZip01 — talk 19:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thank you for prosifying this awfully named game's article. I've had my eye on it for a while, and will still be making adjustments, but you came in first and did a nice job. --
