I don't really think it's a good idea to do a peer review yet. There are still obvious things that need to be fixed before it's up to FA standards. Anyone can look at the Featured article criteria and see how it's failing, 2c (consistent citations) being the most glaring issue. Once all the obvious things have been ironed out and it looks close to FA, that's the time to request peer review to get input and see if there's anything that's been overlooked. But right now working on the obvious issues should come before any peer review. Siawase ( talk) 20:26, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Man, just caught your question on WP:AT. Looks like you missed all the drama. Of the 4,175,000 en.wp articles 99.999% of those that can have French etc. accents (which I'd guess is 15-20% or 600-800,000 articles?) already have them. There was a "diacritics war" mainly initiated by one hockey editor in 2011 which ended up with him being blocked, and the remaining hockey bios were tidied up at Talk:Dominik Halmoši 8 months ago. Those two RMs you've picked up are actually - check article histories one-step-back - both restore RMs, caused by undiscussed moves stripping foreign spelling. Just so you know the background.

I realize now it's a waste of time to connect TV shows through the people who wrote for them. It was just a stupid preconceived notion of programs I should view on a regular basis.

Hi George, I moved the disambiguation page to What's Going On now. Please note that you don't need to tag the redirect for deletion when I've already told you I'd move it when all links have been fixed (much less keep re-tagging after it has been removed). The only thing that accomplishes is making the redirect not work while the links are being repaired, which means that any readers following the link will end up on the tagged redirect page instead of whatever article they were looking for. That's why it's better to fix the links first and only then move the disambiguation page. I hope that makes sense. Regards, Jafeluv ( talk) 20:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Some discussion has taken place because of your closure. I feel you need to become aware of it. In part it has taken place here and has spilled over to here, too, becaise I reverted the reversion of your closure. You will see there is a different signature now to the closure, followed by a huge discussion post closure, which appears to be rehashing the closed discussion in some measure. I have, at present, no intention of taking further part in either of those discussions, but reserve the right to reply if necessary.

Hi, George Ho. You don't know me and I don't think we've interacted much until very recently, so I'm not really sure where you're coming from with regard to this. Given the banners at the top of your talk page, I'm very reluctant to arrive at your page only to bitch and moan, but honestly it seemed just a little pointy. My previous edit was not a challenge, you know; I honestly hoped that the other editor, who was playing fast and loose with terminology, would stand down. Surely you are aware that the discussion has been contentious and stressful and that tempers have been frayed. The uninvolved admin who closed the related discussion made what I thought was a perfectly reasonable suggestion that we all give it a rest for a while. Honestly, what do you think will be gained by an RfC at this point? Even if one side "wins", will anyone emerge from the process happier and less stressed? Will Wikipedia be a better place overall, for its readers and its contributors? I wonder. Rivertorch ( talk) 05:37, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Have you considered RMs for the Star Wars film articles? I have been thinking for some time now that the article titles are overly precise and fails WP:COMMONNAME.

With all respect, you should probably consider dropping the stick and backing slowly away from the horse carcass. Canvassing every opposing vote with comments like "Which part of "WP:Naming conventions (people)" is tedious and does nothing to change the consensus particularly when the very policy you're quoting notes that there are occasions where people are best known by a single name such as Prince (musician), where such naming is acceptable. You can actually be blocked/banned from editing for rebuking everyone's vote during a consensus discussion. There appears to be no support for the page move, but either way it would be wise to stop trying to rebuke every vote and allow the consensus to run its course. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 16:01, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi!
I saw that you renamed " Suicides for eviction in Spain" to " Suicide in Spain" in April. The article is indeed limited to suicides for evictions, but I don't think this a problem. Existence of Suicides for eviction in Spain doesn't prevent from creating Suicide in Spain. However, the renaming of Suicides for eviction in Spain to Suicide in Spain prevents from creating Suicide in Spain.
Moreover, the current state of the article (title not matching the content) is quite misleading for the readers.
Anyway, if the goal was to encourage a rewriting with a larger scope, it seems it did not worked (no changes since April). If you think the article Suicides for eviction in Spain is not enough developed to deserve a separate article, I think we should wait the creation and development of "Suicide in Spain" before considering any merging.
I think it would be judicious to rename the article back to Suicides for eviction in Spain. What do you think? Pwet-pwet ( talk) 14:35, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi there George... Thanks for your input at the above article. I considered your same point during the article's author-ization actually. I was of the opinion that its simply too early to separate "21st century" into its own section, isn't it? Surely there have been replicas other than Banksy's made in that period (some are noted further down in the better-related sections), but we're also dealing with notability guidelines toward which who-knows-when a new notable replica may appear. Must you really blow the flow of the article with an edit which kind of jumps-the-gun and adds pain to where theres no injury (not to mention the eyesore expansion box)? Maybe a simple paragraph-separation will suffice? Or? The access is already there for other editors to contribute as new notable works appear in the years to come. I bow to you for your interest, but can we please just leave-well-enough-alone for now, and revert that particular edit to its original state? I surely don't want to step on any feet by reverting it myself. With all due respect... Penwatchdog ( talk) 01:35, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I've updated the "Like a Virgin" single cover you've uploaded with a cleaner scan and deleted the old orphaned image. If you have no objections I'm going to delete the old revisions and remove the notice as "requested" by Theo's bot. Cheers, ˉˉ anetode ╦╩ 18:18, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading
File:Brooke English.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth ( talk) 10:34, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi George - any reason you are subst-ing the templates on the Chelsea Manning talk page? I don't see any need to do so.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 17:53, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi George.
I very rarely post this sort of "advice" this these days, because, well..., I very rarely feel the need to, and, well..., who'd want my advice anyway?(
) But I can't help but wonder a little if you might just be getting a tiny bit too emotionally involved with the whole Manning thing?
I wasn't going to post here, because it's late here, and I actually went to bed, but I couldn't settle. If you're really ok with it all, then please ignore this post, but if you really are getting as upset as some of your posts could indicate, then my sincere advice is don't. I do understand why you might be. I just think it will all look differently to you when the dramafest has died down and sensible heads like yours prevail, which they will. They truly will.
If you're not as upset as I thought you were, then I'm sorry for this note, but I would not sleep well without having made it. Time, and hindsight will be wonderful things, they always are, and wikipedia dramafests are not worth emotional investment. They really are not.
Anyway, that said, take care, and I'll speak to you soon.
On another thing entirely, I've been wanting to ask you if you can help me implement a graph/chart template I've been working on for a while, because I keep running out of time, and I think it might be something that would interest you, with your strengths in wikicoding and detail. Let me know if you might be interested - it would involve creating some article pages and editing/creating some template data pages, but I can go into more detail if you think you have the time to help. Thanks. Begoon talk 18:43, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

In regards to this edit, what are you hoping to accomplish be reopening the nomination? As noted in your comment, the article has already appeared on the Main page for eight hours. As we will be changing to eight hour updates in about 25 hours, there is a very strong argument that the article has already had its time on DYK. It seems the most likely result of reopening the nomination is having to just turn around close it with a rejection due to the previous appearance, rendering the reopened nomination moot. -- Allen3 talk 23:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

This is the first time in all the time I've spent working with you that your actions have really got under my skin. I'm disappointed and upset about it, if I'm honest.

I have no idea why you feel the need to stick an original research tag onto the sentence when a dictionary was given as the source for the origin and meaning of the phrase. The only thing you can object to is the word "wandering" which is implied in the lines of the poem "[He roamed] from the edge of the world to the cape of the sea seeking me, [I] went to the edge of the world but can't find him". There are earlier instances of "tianya" and "haijiao" (or variations of the two words) used separately, but this is the earliest one used as one phrase listed in various dictionaries. You can just delete the word "wandering" if you are not happy with it, but don't make it sound like the whole sentence is made up. It is simply unhelpful. Hzh ( talk) 13:26, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't really think it's a good idea to do a peer review yet. There are still obvious things that need to be fixed before it's up to FA standards. Anyone can look at the Featured article criteria and see how it's failing, 2c (consistent citations) being the most glaring issue. Once all the obvious things have been ironed out and it looks close to FA, that's the time to request peer review to get input and see if there's anything that's been overlooked. But right now working on the obvious issues should come before any peer review. Siawase ( talk) 20:26, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Man, just caught your question on WP:AT. Looks like you missed all the drama. Of the 4,175,000 en.wp articles 99.999% of those that can have French etc. accents (which I'd guess is 15-20% or 600-800,000 articles?) already have them. There was a "diacritics war" mainly initiated by one hockey editor in 2011 which ended up with him being blocked, and the remaining hockey bios were tidied up at Talk:Dominik Halmoši 8 months ago. Those two RMs you've picked up are actually - check article histories one-step-back - both restore RMs, caused by undiscussed moves stripping foreign spelling. Just so you know the background.

Hi George, I moved the disambiguation page to What's Going On now. Please note that you don't need to tag the redirect for deletion when I've already told you I'd move it when all links have been fixed (much less keep re-tagging after it has been removed). The only thing that accomplishes is making the redirect not work while the links are being repaired, which means that any readers following the link will end up on the tagged redirect page instead of whatever article they were looking for. That's why it's better to fix the links first and only then move the disambiguation page. I hope that makes sense. Regards, Jafeluv ( talk) 20:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, George Ho. You don't know me and I don't think we've interacted much until very recently, so I'm not really sure where you're coming from with regard to this. Given the banners at the top of your talk page, I'm very reluctant to arrive at your page only to bitch and moan, but honestly it seemed just a little pointy. My previous edit was not a challenge, you know; I honestly hoped that the other editor, who was playing fast and loose with terminology, would stand down. Surely you are aware that the discussion has been contentious and stressful and that tempers have been frayed. The uninvolved admin who closed the related discussion made what I thought was a perfectly reasonable suggestion that we all give it a rest for a while. Honestly, what do you think will be gained by an RfC at this point? Even if one side "wins", will anyone emerge from the process happier and less stressed?

With all respect, you should probably consider dropping the stick and backing slowly away from the horse carcass. Canvassing every opposing vote with comments like "Which part of "WP:Naming conventions (people)" is tedious and does nothing to change the consensus particularly when the very policy you're quoting notes that there are occasions where people are best known by a single name such as Prince (musician), where such naming is acceptable. You can actually be blocked/banned from editing for rebuking everyone's vote during a consensus discussion. There appears to be no support for the page move, but either way it would be wise to stop trying to rebuke every vote and allow the consensus to run its course. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 [talk] 16:01, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi George, we discussed a few days ago my plans to nominate History of Gibraltar to run as Today's Featured Article next month. I thought you might like to know that I've posted the nomination at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests#July 13. Prioryman ( talk) 22:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
George, when you have time, no hurry, could you have a look at Through Distant Worlds and Times - Letters from a Wayfarer in the Universe. That seemed the correct, full name to me, but now I wonder if it should be moved to just Through Distant Worlds and Times, leaving a redirect. What do you think? Begoon talk 22:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

George, why is there a seemingly random series summary in the Cast and Characters section? I can't understand what it's there for. Should it be its own section, "Season summary" or something? Begoon talk 06:25, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi George Ho. As per Christian's first appearance image, I agree to get rid of it...there's no drastic change and a free image would be a lot better. Best regards, George Ping! 20:07, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Cheers season 5.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
The file was replaced with File:Cheers season 5.png.
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Begoon talk 16:10, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
I was thinking of adding this to the closure, but instead I'll just leave a note for you. "George Ho's comment about the stats for the 1959 film being 'vague or dishonest' are hard to interpret but do take a look at the month by month page views for Room at the Top which spike upwards dramatically in September, 2012, which is when the BBC film was aired. So our article on the 1959 film benefitted from the coattails of the 2012 film." Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 17:00, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi!
I saw that you renamed " Suicides for eviction in Spain" to " Suicide in Spain" in April. The article is indeed limited to suicides for evictions, but I don't think this a problem. Existence of Suicides for eviction in Spain doesn't prevent from creating Suicide in Spain. However, the renaming of Suicides for eviction in Spain to Suicide in Spain prevents from creating Suicide in Spain.
Moreover, the current state of the article (title not matching the content) is quite misleading for the readers.
Anyway, if the goal was to encourage a rewriting with a larger scope, it seems it did not worked (no changes since April). If you think the article Suicides for eviction in Spain is not enough developed to deserve a separate article, I think we should wait the creation and development of "Suicide in Spain" before considering any merging.
I think it would be judicious to rename the article back to Suicides for eviction in Spain. What do you think? Pwet-pwet ( talk) 14:35, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi George, you currently have four articles listed for copy-editing at the GOCE Requests page. These are The Joy Luck Club (film), Cheers (season 4), What Is... Cliff Clavin? and Rebecca Howe. To ensure that every request gets answered (eventually!), we ask at the top of the page that you limit your requests to a maximum of three articles at any time. Please remove one request, otherwise the most recently listed one will be removed. You can re-add this request when one of the others has been fulfilled.

Hi George,
Thank you for taking an interest in the Speeches of Barack Obama article. I agree that all of his speeches should be summarized on that article, so long as we have sources for them, whether they are notable enough to have their own articles or not. I am busy in other areas of Wikipedia at the moment, and am unlikely to get around to the actions you indicate. Feel free to recommend mergers and/or add the summaries to the list as you see fit.

Hi there George... Thanks for your input at the above article. I considered your same point during the article's author-ization actually. I was of the opinion that its simply too early to separate "21st century" into its own section, isn't it? Surely there have been replicas other than Banksy's made in that period (some are noted further down in the better-related sections), but we're also dealing with notability guidelines toward which who-knows-when a new notable replica may appear. Must you really blow the flow of the article with an edit which kind of jumps-the-gun and adds pain to where theres no injury (not to mention the eyesore expansion box)? Maybe a simple paragraph-separation will suffice? Or? The access is already there for other editors to contribute as new notable works appear in the years to come. I bow to you for your interest, but can we please just leave-well-enough-alone for now, and revert that particular edit to its original state? I surely don't want to step on any feet by reverting it myself. With all due respect... Penwatchdog ( talk) 01:35, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi George - any reason you are subst-ing the templates on the Chelsea Manning talk page? I don't see any need to do so.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 17:53, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi George.
I very rarely post this sort of "advice" this these days, because, well..., I very rarely feel the need to, and, well..., who'd want my advice anyway?(
) But I can't help but wonder a little if you might just be getting a tiny bit too emotionally involved with the whole Manning thing?
I wasn't going to post here, because it's late here, and I actually went to bed, but I couldn't settle. If you're really ok with it all, then please ignore this post, but if you really are getting as upset as some of your posts could indicate, then my sincere advice is don't. I do understand why you might be. I just think it will all look differently to you when the dramafest has died down and sensible heads like yours prevail, which they will. They truly will.
If you're not as upset as I thought you were, then I'm sorry for this note, but I would not sleep well without having made it. Time, and hindsight will be wonderful things, they always are, and wikipedia dramafests are not worth emotional investment. They really are not.
Anyway, that said, take care, and I'll speak to you soon.
On another thing entirely, I've been wanting to ask you if you can help me implement a graph/chart template I've been working on for a while, because I keep running out of time, and I think it might be something that would interest you, with your strengths in wikicoding and detail. Let me know if you might be interested - it would involve creating some article pages and editing/creating some template data pages, but I can go into more detail if you think you have the time to help. Thanks. Begoon talk 18:43, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

In regards to this edit, what are you hoping to accomplish be reopening the nomination? As noted in your comment, the article has already appeared on the Main page for eight hours. As we will be changing to eight hour updates in about 25 hours, there is a very strong argument that the article has already had its time on DYK. It seems the most likely result of reopening the nomination is having to just turn around close it with a rejection due to the previous appearance, rendering the reopened nomination moot. -- Allen3 talk 23:08, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

So you replaced the cleaner and larger US single cover image with a dull and wrinkled UK cover image. Really? Just because they are British?

George - I have no idea why you have decided to run around starting disagreements and requests for third opinions with me everywhere concerning, of all things, actions I took with your uploaded images that I thought you'd be pleased I was helping you out with. This is the first time in all the time I've spent working with you that your actions have really got under my skin. I'm disappointed and upset about it, if I'm honest. That's all I want to say, except that, since we no longer seem able to communicate, I'd rather you didn't come to me for advice any more.

I have no idea why you feel the need to stick an original research tag onto the sentence when a dictionary was given as the source for the origin and meaning of the phrase. The only thing you can object to is the word "wandering" which is implied in the lines of the poem "[He roamed] from the edge of the world to the cape of the sea seeking me, [I] went to the edge of the world but can't find him". There are earlier instances of "tianya" and "haijiao" (or variations of the two words) used separately, but this is the earliest one used as one phrase listed in various dictionaries. You can just delete the word "wandering" if you are not happy with it, but don't make it sound like the whole sentence is made up. It is simply unhelpful. Hzh ( talk) 13:26, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
