I was skimming FAC and wondered if you could explain this comment for my future reference:
Thank you. RJFJR ( talk) 14:32, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Just Curious why you pulled it. It's easily as relevant as the Chronicle listings. It actually has quite a lot more listings, and includes audio and video for every band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.41.68.138 ( talk) 16:37, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi User:Dabomb87,
Thanks! I saw your recent edits to The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie article.
I wanted to know if you could help me with, e.g. erasing irrelevant things, clear out repeated context, sections, if anything belongs elsewhere in the article, and anything else you detect for FAC, as the nomination is currently closed, because their is stuff that still needs to be dealt with.
As I am not sure what is necessary and what is not;
User:Matthewedwards was helping me, but he moved and does not have an internet connection, so I wanted to know if you could help in the mean time.
Thanx again!

I just wanted to say thanks for all the little fixes you've made to the Tom Swift article - good eye for detail! Best, Ricardiana ( talk) 04:04, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that you update this page periodically... may I ask how you do it? Is there a bot or anything that keeps track of this, or do you do it all manually? Anyway, I was asking because I just created Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page (it will take several days, at least, to finish populating itself) and I figured these pages could probably complement one another. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 05:09, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
{{PAGESINCATEGORY}}
could be used to provide a dynamic count that doesn't need to be updated, for example if someone wanted this on their userpage somewhere—of course, I'll have to wait a week or so to see if the count this generates is really accurate)...and even if it's not, then at least it's another way for people to find this information if they don't know about FAMP yet. What the category doesn't have is organization by topics, which FAMP has... I considered trying to do that with the |topic=
parameter in ArticleHistory, but then realized that parameter is for GAs and not all FAs have it.

I've (re) reverted this change you made to Postman's Park. It's been discussed at the FAC and so far nobody has raised any objection to breaching the MOS on this particular occasion. WP:ACCESS#Images is a vague guideline, not a set-in-stone rule, and in this particular case moving the image causes problems to the majority of readers using standard settings on a standard monitor, while not solving any problem other than compliance-for-the-sake-of-compliance; it's a tall thin image which doesn't actually cause the disconnect problem WP:ACCESS#Images was intended to address (even on large-text settings on a 2in screen, the image doesn't force the text to disconnect in this case; I checked). As mentioned at the FAC, I fail to see the point (in any circumstances) of that particular guideline, and don't understand why this is somehow a problem with level 3 headers, but level 2 and 4 headers are somehow immune. – iride scent 14:13, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
I note you are currently working on the above article, which has been nominated for Peer review by User:occono who does not appear to be an active contributor. The article seems to be the subject of considerable editing activity, and in my view peer review is premature. It would be advisable to wait for the current revisions to be completed; perhaps you would consult other active editors, with a view to withdrawing from the PR process until a later date. Brianboulton ( talk) 10:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
I know you did a lot of these, so before I start doing them manually, I was wondering if there is an automated way available to move hyphenated titles to ndashes ones.

Hey Dabomb, I left you a message a few days ago about Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page. Just for your information, now (after about a week) the templates have all recached themselves and the category is more or less populated; its count is almost the same as WP:FAMP, but not quite (1180 on FAMP today after your updates, 1177 in the category). I imagine this is probably because of a couple errors on FAMP, such as duplicate entries or articles that didn't get removed after appearing on the main page (I found a few like that over the past few days, and I still haven't checked the large sections like Warfare and Media so there might be a few more hiding in there.) Anyway, it's not a big deal and it's nothing you need to worry about, I just wanted to update you in case you were wondering. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 06:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll learn one day! Knowing that you've seen the page, what did you think of its size. It is very large which concerns me, but nearly all of the size will be from those 200 refs and that long table. I think the prose is pretty good and the list is well referenced and complete (barring a few {{ cn}} I plan on checking out soon), so in my eyes the only thing preventing it from FLC is size. Do you share that view? Also, well done because it's about time you put yourself up for one of these things! Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:46, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. While not necessary, isn't it acceptable as a limited use?

If there are any places that you have grammar concerns or the such, please point them out and I will address them. I will be avoiding Fowler from then on since there is a history between us which is not pleasant.

Ottava Rima ( talk) 02:42, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Dabomb87, when I saw the numbers changed from being spelled out, I really felt the urge to undo it. The MOS is intentionally contradictory about this saying both that numbers over nine should be rendered as numbers, but that two word numbers are actually fine, which is what we had over at Virginia. But if there was a script that might let us change back or forth later, I think I'll let this stand. Is there?-- Patrick { oѺ∞} 14:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Almost everything on the list could be referenced to the respective artists' entries in the Official Books of British Hit Singles/Albums (I think the latest singles book goes up to 2007 and albums to 2008, I don't have the latest editions myself although I do have earlier ones). Only Girls Aloud's post-2007 hits could not be ref'ed from the books. There's bound to be a BBC or similar ref for "The Promise" getting to number 1 (they tend to do a news story about all new number one hits) so that would just leave three entries...... -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 09:41, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I notice the above page is a redlink at Wikipedia:Featured lists/Candidate list, should it be moved from Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of living Band of Brothers veterans/archive2 to Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Easy Company (506 PIR) veterans/archive2, the article was moved to 'List of Easy Company (506 PIR) veterans' following it's first FLC. -- Jpeeling ( talk) 17:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with the way the template works in detail, but looking at the context of the measurements in the article, I think you could use a regex in the find and replace along the lines of
(</span>|, )(.*?) ?cm\.?
converting to
$1{{convert|$2|cm|in}}
That would fix the cm measurements - it picks up anything of the form (</span> or 'comma,space', followed by a string (the value), followed by an optional space then 'cm' and an optional full stop. Other measurements such as grams should be convertible by a similar method. I've run a quick test using the AWB regex tester, but I haven't thoroughly checked whether it would have any unexpected side effects. Colonies Chris ( talk) 21:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a matter of interest, when you change punctuation, how do you know that a comma (or whatever) is not part of the original quote. Here, for example, that first comma you moved was part of the original. I'm wondering how someone applying logical punctuation to a text can do it correctly without looking up each quote. SlimVirgin talk| contribs 08:08, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
So, the previous list was closed before all issues could be addressed, but I believe the highlighting concern has been corrected. I have re-nominated the list for FL status, and would appreciate it if you could take a look one more time. You supported the list before, and all of your previous concerns have still been addressed.

Hello there! As an editor who has posted a comment in one of the recent Peer Reviews, GANs or FACs of International Space Station, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind commenting in the current Peer Review as to whether you feel your original comments have been dealt with, if you see any new issues with the article, and whether or not you believe the article will meet the criteria for Featured Article status. Any new comments you have would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Colds7ream ( talk) 17:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm somewhat confused here. The problem is, Translink doesn't use any spaces in between the station's names. There is no space between any of the station's dashed names. Can you explain what you mean a bit clearer? єmarsee • Speak up! 01:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Dabomb, it's a total mess at the top because I'm clueless about arranging boxes and the like. Any ideas on how to organise it? I'd love to get rid of the verbose Werdnabot box, but not its function (although if you can suggest a better auto-archiver, I'm all ears). Tony (talk) 14:13, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Listen, I don't want you to get alarmed and to get upset, I don't like those main titles that has the medium dashes. I was feeling upset and mad cause of you moving those meduim dashes and other stations with medium dashes between the spaces. I already check the station titles from the article links and the smaller dashes on every station has the most links, Listen I apologize and I was feelin upset and mistakes happen but I am here to confront with you. Just write to me back when I will revert it back to some stations with medium dashes. Steam5 ( talk) 22:29, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. I have one question though: can I convince someone who has made a significant contribution promote it? Secret Saturdays ( talk to me)
Thanks heaps for the clean-up! The only thing I'd wish for is that the four horizontally arranged user boxes be in twos: 1 and 2 on one line, then below 3 and 4. But this is minor. There should be a "how to" page on arranging user and user talk pages. Tony (talk) 02:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, Dabomb, I'm still chipping away. I unavoidably had to be away for a few days (in real life, my name is Nicolas Sarkozy and I had to go to Pittsburgh). But I'm back now and going to do a lengthy round of work most nights this week. I've been digging through my sources for some more data to compare the severity of recessions in the Civil War to WWII era, and am going to clean up references and explanations more, as well as work on a new lead. Much to do, but now that I am back in Paris I am confident I will have the time. -- JayHenry ( talk) 00:41, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree we are far from having this in FL status, but I don't think Wimbledon is either because the original creator thinks you can compare eras in tennis. Most tennis historians and scholars would disagree with this miscatagorization completely. I think it needs to be like I separated it on the pages if they are in fact to be kept together, and not be entirely new pages. I took the all-time records and put them into the eras, which is legitamate in this area. BLuE DOg Tn 22:31, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thankyou very much. Aaroncrick ( talk) 01:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. I've fixed the alt text with the help of Eubulides ( talk · contribs). Tell me how it looks and also tell me if there's anything else you'd like to address there. Thanks! (SUDUSER) 85 06:31, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for helping clean the page up, Daclerk87. ;) iMatthew talk at 20:20, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I notice that you have done some copyediting at Crown Fountain. Do you think with the changes from words to numbers should be added following the numbers that you added?-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 03:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I disagree with the use of the image as meeting NFCC. Others disagree. Not really sure what else I'm supposed to say. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 14:45, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll learn one day! Knowing that you've seen the page, what did you think of its size. It is very large which concerns me, but nearly all of the size will be from those 200 refs and that long table. I think the prose is pretty good and the list is well referenced and complete (barring a few {{ cn}} I plan on checking out soon), so in my eyes the only thing preventing it from FLC is size. Do you share that view? Also, well done because it's about time you put yourself up for one of these things! Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:46, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry if I had made any problems. -- [[ SRE.K.A.L.| L.A.K.ERS]] 20:39, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I have addressed the issue you raised at the FLC: WP:Featured list candidates/Gwen Stefani discography/archive2. Would you please strike your comment and, if deserved, add your support? -- EA Swyer Talk Contributions 23:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi. While not necessary, isn't it acceptable as a limited use? I believe that it aids skimablity significantly, and have seen that usage in all form of U.S. business communication in lieu of headings (check most shareholder communications, proxies, etc. where names w/paras. are listed).-- VMAsNYC ( talk) 12:50, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi could you help me out with some copyediting of the summaries? You can give me a list of suggestions at the FLC. Much appreciated and thanks! (SUDUSER) 85 02:27, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Indopug has just pointed out that Bloc Party discography has a star and the official talk page stuff, but the only FLC archive listed says "not promoted". Go figure that this sort of thing has to happen to me. I'd be grateful for any clarity on this. RB88 ( T) 17:47, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

What goes on User:Deckiller/FAC urgents? Is it possible to add Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Crown Fountain/archive4?-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 19:16, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
Why did you do that?
We had long disscusions about to put images on the WikiProject (just like Greater Manchester's) and you have just deleted them. PLEASE NEXT TIME YOU DO SOMTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, FIRSTLY CONSULT THE EDITORS ON THE TALK PAGE.-- 93gregsonl2 ( talk) 22:08, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
If there are any places that you have grammar concerns or the such, please point them out and I will address them. I will be avoiding Fowler from then on since there is a history between us which is not pleasant. I haven't had a chance to talk to Mrathel lately (our schedules are conflicting), but I think I can cover most of it (since the page was half written by him). Ottava Rima ( talk) 02:42, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Dabomb87, when I saw the numbers changed from being spelled out, I really felt the urge to undo it. The MOS is intentionally contradictory about this saying both that numbers over nine should be rendered as numbers, but that two word numbers are actually fine, which is what we had over at Virginia. But if there was a script that might let us change back or forth later, I think I'll let this stand. Is there?-- Patrick { oѺ∞} 14:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Almost everything on the list could be referenced to the respective artists' entries in the Official Books of British Hit Singles/Albums (I think the latest singles book goes up to 2007 and albums to 2008, I don't have the latest editions myself although I do have earlier ones). Only Girls Aloud's post-2007 hits could not be ref'ed from the books. There's bound to be a BBC or similar ref for "The Promise" getting to number 1 (they tend to do a news story about all new number one hits) so that would just leave three entries...... -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 09:41, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I've nominated Intimacy again and would appreciate that pending prose review of yours. Cheers. RB88 ( T) 15:06, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I notice the above page is a redlink at Wikipedia:Featured lists/Candidate list, should it be moved from Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of living Band of Brothers veterans/archive2 to Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Easy Company (506 PIR) veterans/archive2, the article was moved to 'List of Easy Company (506 PIR) veterans' following it's first FLC. -- Jpeeling ( talk) 17:25, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm not familiar with the way the template works in detail, but looking at the context of the measurements in the article, I think you could use a regex in the find and replace along the lines of
(</span>|, )(.*?) ?cm\.?
converting to
$1{{convert|$2|cm|in}}
That would fix the cm measurements - it picks up anything of the form (</span> or 'comma,space', followed by a string (the value), followed by an optional space then 'cm' and an optional full stop. Other measurements such as grams should be convertible by a similar method. I've run a quick test using the AWB regex tester, but I haven't thoroughly checked whether it would have any unexpected side effects. Colonies Chris ( talk) 21:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely, thank for letting me know. iMatthew talk at 00:21, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Just a matter of interest, when you change punctuation, how do you know that a comma (or whatever) is not part of the original quote. Here, for example, that first comma you moved was part of the original. I'm wondering how someone applying logical punctuation to a text can do it correctly without looking up each quote. SlimVirgin talk| contribs 08:08, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
So, the previous list was closed before all issues could be addressed, but I believe the highlighting concern has been corrected. I have re-nominated the list for FL status, and would appreciate it if you could take a look one more time. You supported the list before, and all of your previous concerns have still been addressed. Thanks! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 16:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your participation in Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Desperate Housewives (season 1)/archive1. The resulted was Promoted. (SUDUSER) 85 03:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Dabomb, I've been informed that the page move screwed the link to the talk-page archives here. Do you know how to fix it?
Also, how does one install the big red flashing sign "sleeping" at the top of this page? Tony (talk) 12:31, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
I've noticed that, in many instances, you are updating article histories to rank GA. I don't know if you use a script, a bot, or just do it manually. However, it is a very important task and I wanted to thank you for doing it. Ottava Rima ( talk) 19:57, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

The colwidth parameter in {{ reflist}} works now? I was under the impression that it had gotten broken a while back. Kirill [talk] [pf] 13:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
Hello there! As an editor who has posted a comment in one of the recent Peer Reviews, GANs or FACs of International Space Station, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind commenting in the current Peer Review as to whether you feel your original comments have been dealt with, if you see any new issues with the article, and whether or not you believe the article will meet the criteria for Featured Article status. Any new comments you have would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Colds7ream ( talk) 17:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
I'm somewhat confused here. The problem is, Translink doesn't use any spaces in between the station's names. There is no space between any of the station's dashed names. Can you explain what you mean a bit clearer? єmarsee • Speak up! 01:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Dabomb, it's a total mess at the top because I'm clueless about arranging boxes and the like. Any ideas on how to organise it? I'd love to get rid of the verbose Werdnabot box, but not its function (although if you can suggest a better auto-archiver, I'm all ears). Tony (talk) 14:13, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Listen, I don't want you to get alarmed and to get upset, I don't like those main titles that has the medium dashes. I was feeling upset and mad cause of you moving those meduim dashes and other stations with medium dashes between the spaces. I already check the station titles from the article links and the smaller dashes on every station has the most links, Listen I apologize and I was feelin upset and mistakes happen but I am here to confront with you. Just write to me back when I will revert it back to some stations with medium dashes. Steam5 ( talk) 22:29, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. I have one question though: can I convince someone who has made a significant contribution promote it? Secret Saturdays ( talk to me)
Thanks heaps for the clean-up! The only thing I'd wish for is that the four horizontally arranged user boxes be in twos: 1 and 2 on one line, then below 3 and 4. But this is minor. There should be a "how to" page on arranging user and user talk pages. Tony (talk) 02:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. :) The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 21:54, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Yes, Dabomb, I'm still chipping away. I unavoidably had to be away for a few days (in real life, my name is Nicolas Sarkozy and I had to go to Pittsburgh). But I'm back now and going to do a lengthy round of work most nights this week. I've been digging through my sources for some more data to compare the severity of recessions in the Civil War to WWII era, and am going to clean up references and explanations more, as well as work on a new lead. Much to do, but now that I am back in Paris I am confident I will have the time. -- JayHenry ( talk) 00:41, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
I noticed in one of your edits to an article on my watch list ( Imette St. Guillen, you removed the bold text in the article lead. My reading of the manual of style suggests that bold would be appropriate here, so I reverted (only that edit). Natalie ( talk) 22:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree we are far from having this in FL status, but I don't think Wimbledon is either because the original creator thinks you can compare eras in tennis. Most tennis historians and scholars would disagree with this miscatagorization completely. I think it needs to be like I separated it on the pages if they are in fact to be kept together, and not be entirely new pages. I took the all-time records and put them into the eras, which is legitamate in this area. BLuE DOg Tn 22:31, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
