Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Stuart DD contributions 16:35, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Just changed the template from stub to start classes. Where it says in the {{ }} - WikiProject Doctor Who|class=Start|importance=mid, you removed/changed the class=stub part, but looking at the classing/assessment pages, I just saw it to changed what would be class=stub to class=start, which changes the page classing, and the same goes for the importance rating.

Thanks for the article on On the Other Hand, Death. When I saw it in the new pages, I looked at it and traced the link back to the main article -- just wanted to mention that I altered the entry for Ice Blues, since I saw it on (Canadian pay) TV last month I assume it's "out".

Homoaffectional, try not be disheartened. Wikipedia is so big with so many contributors that it is inevitable that sometimes people make mistakes. The AFD process is specifically designed to achieve consensus when an article's validity is questioned. I agree that LAAFan should have examined the article more thoroughly and looked for references prior to submission to AFD. As a group, we have recognized that the article is valid. Don't worry about it. Move on... and keep contributing. :-) Best wishes. Axl ( talk) 16:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
The "hangon" tag is used only in the case of a speedy deletion. The article in question has been taken to a full-blown Article for Deletion discussion; you would express your opinions there. A hang-on tag, even without a speedy-deletion tag, automatically adds the article back to the list of candidates for speedy deletion (I know, counter-intuitive). -- Orange Mike | Talk 03:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
WIth all due respect (and with my having just added an infobox and external link to the article), some editors may simply look at an article as first offered to AfD and vote accordingly. If the article itself does not show or claim notability, or is missing sources and external links... or is short and uninformative... they are not obligated to research it themselves. They may look at it just as it sits and make a judgement call about its worth. The AfD acts in that case as a motivation for the article's author and interested editors to do such research and improvement, if they wish. It is not a mandate. Wiki loves sources and links so that others can click them at the article and find the information and verifications right at their fingertips. Also more important to remember... avoithe use of phrases such as "suspicious and distasteful" when dealing with other editors here. Wiki encourages editors to
Assume Good Faith and consider that an editor is making a change or a reccomendation with the best of intentions. Wiki encourages all users to be as polite and courteous as possible. Not doing so can get an editor in trouble. Again, an editor is mot mandated to improve someone else's article if it does meet Wiki requirements. That editor may thus tag the article for improvement or deletion. And if this same editor removes an improperly placed tag, do not take it personally. He's just following the guidelines that Wiki has here for everyone. Point of fact: the article was at first in need of help. At the AfD it received its help.
Cliff Smith and
OrangeMike are very experienced editors who can be a terrific allies in your corner. What they did here resulted in the article being much better than it was when first created. Yes? If an editor addresses the concerns voiced by
Cliff Smith or
OrangeMike, they are just as happy to come forward and say Good job! Many editors play
Devil's Advocate and the results can be excellent. I admire your creating am article, and was glad to help it become better... but you may wish to go to the AfD discussion page and apologize. They are experienced. You are new. You want their kind of knowledge in your corner. Further, you can "publicly retract paragraphs or ill-chosen words (called a "
strikethrough" by following the link to the strikethrough page and studying how its done. Example:

Here's a line that has been struckthrough. Click on edit (above) to see the synbols and how they were used.
Please be careful whom you cite that I had a "problem" with or was addressing or ought to apologize to. I did not once cite him or any edits/comments he made when I weighed in on the AfD; I don't have the slightest objection to anything he did, and only see him as someone who was tremendously helpful, so please read something more carefully before you respond to it -- I just wanted to clarify that, and will issue a full response to this on your talk page.

Just encouraging people to be more careful before they hit "Save page" is all. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Is your e-mail address set up?
I have no idea if you need a user page to request AWB. I think I'm the only one who watches for assessment requests, and I'm a little busy at the minute. You may be better off asking for re-assessment at WT:COMICS. Hiding T 16:24, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for re-rating some articles as B-Class recently. Unfortunately when the B-class checklist is deleted, or if it was never filled in in the first place, it automatically displays the article as C-class instead. (See here for an example.) Richard75 ( talk) 22:24, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Democracy (Judge Dredd storyline) was assessed as GA in 2009 and I assessed Alan Class Comics back in January. ( Emperor ( talk) 15:07, 17 May 2010 (UTC))
Thanks very much for taking the trouble to assess Democracy (Judge Dredd storyline), and for giving it a higher rating. Richard75 ( talk) 20:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Hey man, thanks for the congrats on the Jason Todd article. I thought it was A class now, but it's listed as B? By the way, how do I make a separate section for the "lost days" miniseries? Just like the above?
I wanted to flag some of your recent assessments as concerns have been raised about them:
So your assessments seem inconsistent and have overlooked some pretty basic requirements (like needing an image in the infobox) and not following the general process (getting a GA-assessment before moving on to an A). Its not a big deal and it can take time to get your eye - hopefully the feedback above helps speed that process along as we do need enthusiastic editors helping with the assessments. ( Emperor ( talk) 14:47, 13 June 2010 (UTC))
Hi, I just wanted to make sure of this, because I'm new to the world of assessments. The page was entirely written by me, and I'm also the one who assessed it for meeting the criteria for class B. Is that normally acceptable? I wanted to get a peer review to make sure I hadn't overstepped anything & jumped the gun (or let my ego assess myself too highly).
