Hi., Thanks for the headsup. I closed both the GANs today. -- Kalyan 10:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Give it a few days and wait for his return from wikibreak. If he didn't respond then take it off. OhanaUnited Talk page 16:36, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi LaraLove, While the user seems to have returned from his hiatus, he did not yet address all of the points, so I've failed it. Teh entry is close to GA quality though, and I said as much on the Talk. Cheers, Tewfik Talk 17:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
(I'll reply here since I was rather slow getting back to you.) I think you have a point, and there could be more to say about the history and the buildings. How are they located with respect to the Chicago River and the canal? I remember seeing some of these buildings on an "architectural boat cruise" some time ago, and being very impressed. A map of the area would be a helpful addition. Also is this just Michigan avenue, or also some side streets and plazas? The relations between some of the buildings might be notable. Were there any controversies over any of the constructions?
Apart from that, I found the prose a bit choppy: short sentences, changes of pace, things like that. The opening sentence of the history paragraph is a bit of a surprise, for example. The lead is a bit weak too, and the large image is awkwardly placed on a wide window.
I don't think it is far from GA though: there is no reason why an article on this subject needs to be much longer than this. I hope that helps. Geometry guy 18:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I am getting really confused, and so have de-listed it from all lists concerning Good Articles Chaza 93 19:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Can you take a look at the parapsychology article for me and give me your opinion, fixing whatever problems you see? I along with a few others recently spent a while rewriting the entire article in lieu of recent edit wars and arbitration and I believe we've made great progress. I'd appreciate if you could review it for us. THanks. Wikidudeman (talk) 23:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, Wikidudeman. It's on my to-do list. I'll get to it as soon as I can. Lara Love 12:54, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Author (publish date). "Title". Publication, #pp. Access/retrieval date.
The page numbers being filled in where appropriate and access or retrieval date for those references that include a url. Of course, not all information will be always available for every field.Okay, I've set up your coaching page at the VC. For your convenience a link is included to your coaching page, along with links for the other students' coaching pages, on the VC lessons template (above). And I've just posted your first assignment on your page.
Also, be sure to drop in on the other student's pages - everyone is welcome to participate in each discussion. We're all students and coaches at the same time, really, as everyone has experience that would be helpful to others. So please join in on the fun. We used to do all this on one page, but the page became too HUGE! :-) So check out all the links, and don't be a stranger.
And above all, have fun.
The Transhumanist 03:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Lara, could you please indicate what you mean when you say that the citations are not "correctly formated". It appears from WP:CITE that no single format is required - at least regarding templates ("The use of Citation templates is not required by WP:CITE and is neither encouraged nor discouraged by any other Wikipedia citation guidelines."). Some notes seem to be incomplete, which I will fix when I have time, but I am unclear what you mean by format. You also say that they should be consistent, but again there appears to be no such rule in WP:CITE. The only reference to consistency occurs when there is a comment about whether notes should appear before or after a full-stop. Paul B 08:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Sure, Thanks for offering my page...Im horrible at that kind of stuff so if you think you can fix it up plz be my guest lol Vandalfighter101 17:05, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

When you edit your userpage, you'll see {{User:Vandalfighter101/whatever}} <- Key in that address into the search bar (without brackets) and edit that page. Lara Love 18:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was under the impression that another reviewer re-checked for hold status candidates for some reason - I've been away for the last 10 days, so haven't been able to check up on things. I'll look it over as soon as I get a chance tomorrow, thanks for the heads-up. Hersfold ( talk/ work) 04:04, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments on the Heian Palace GA/R. I realized too late that I had been using "indices" rather than "indexes" as the plural of "index": the more formal plural is standard in mathematics, so I used it out of habit, making my recommendation opaque at best! By the way, I noticed recently that you probably deserve another Cherry Impact Award for causing a famously terse GA reviewer (no names mentioned) to more than double the length of his recommendation! Congratulations... Geometry guy 18:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey you, first off, it's too late for me to establish typical conversation but I recall reading somewhere on this mammoth project that you were pushing for gacat (I think) to be filled in on the Template:ArticleHistory. I've been using the template but found no advice on the template page on how to fill the category in properly. It's a minor point but perhaps you could add some advice on there on what people should add...... minor point. And thanks for updating my adoption userbox, I plain forgot it amongst all the GA reviewing! All the very best, The Rambling Man 22:41, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
I have an article that I have nominated at FAC that is dying on the vine, as it were. It needs someone with a critical eye to review the article and make any notes for improvement or support as a FA Candidate. Since you always tend to be even handed and I respect your critical opinion, could you take a look at: [2] Thanks! -- Jayron32| talk| contribs 04:10, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
hey could you take a look at trick shot (its an article im making) and tell me how you like it? Vandalfighter101 09:05, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Lara. Rock Springs massacre is almost ready for FAC, if you had any input it would be appreciated. I have made some notes on the talk page. Thanks. IvoShandor 13:33, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi LL,
Georg Cantor has been GA for a while already, but we are gonna push for FA. I just now put it in
peer review.I admire your skills as a copy editor... if.. and only if... you have free time etc. and could swing by & give it a look, I would be eternally grateful. But it's also OK if you can't! :-)
Later & thanks, Ling.Nut 19:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
(undent) It's already at Featured article candidate. Cross your fingers and toes! Later Ling.Nut 18:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello there. I was wondering if you could copyedit Goldfinger if you have the time sometime. Yes I think that sounds a teeny bit silly too "time sometime". It recently passed GA and I opened up a peer review as well. Hope you can help! Cliff smith 20:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the GA sorting project, which I've started working on. Do you consider it important to fill in the oldid field? If so, it's the id of version of the article that got promoted, not the version of the talk page, right? Is there any trick to this, or is it just the obvious - hunt for version of talk page that mentions GA promotion, then find article version that existed just before promotion? ike9898 16:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
if the earth was flat I'd say youd fallen off of it...you ok? Vandalfighter101 16:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I find User:Vandalfighter101 to be incredibly annoying. Especially his propensity to misspell "vandal" as "vandel." It seems odd, considering that it's spelled right in his name. Do you agree? 18:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

You have the most awesome username and signature ever. Good work! Capuchin 09:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I like your new choice of colors too. Anyway, back to other things: I replied on my talk page to your comment, but this now seems to be a storm in a teacup, given that Gimmetrow and Gimmebot support the topic field. I expect it will be added to ArticleHistory very shortly (e.g. by me). Geometry guy 22:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Self censorship is not grounds for blocking someone on Wikipedia, and since Wikipedia does not have ownership to anything I post, I can delete anything I write, even if it is on an article's discussion page (personal discussion pages are not included). Wikipedia simply frowns upon the action. Please take this into consideration before threatening to block me. Thanks. Spuddy 17 22:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Lara, how's it going? I'm going to review Maroon 5 for GA but I was wondering if you could just add the relevant copyright information to the above image as specified in the tag : "You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded." I realise you didn't upload it yourself but for the fair-use rationale to apply we need to provide this information. All the best, The Rambling Man 11:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Lara,
Thanks for giving this article a good critique... you're great. Also, I don't know if you noticed it, but the date that you entered for as the retreived date is wrong. You were putting in tomorrow date. So User:2005 reverted those changes as 'false dates.' If you are looking at things, then you need to go back and put todays date in there... otherwise I can add the date I looked them up... Balloonman 21:50, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
It was 6 to 1, but the most recent vote definently was not a week old. Homestarmy 04:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
(←)Ok, I don't really understand. By the new archiving procedure, my recommendation qualified the article to be archived (more than 3 days since nomination, at least 6 recommendations, clear consensus). So it's not a speedy archive. Regardless, we're not supposed to tally votes. That's how all the drama started to begin with. So all I'm saying is rather than say it was 6-1, or whatever it may be in any particular case, briefly explain the consensus. Lara ♥Love 04:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, LaraLove. Some good people have told me I should have "met" you long ago; I don't know how we've managed to never cross paths before :-) Both Dr pda and Gimmetrow have had limited time on Wiki lately, but now they've both focused on the articlehistory errors I mentioned, so I think progress will be made. My original description of the problems wasn't at all clear, so I've posted a follow up at the articlehistory talk page. Best regards, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 17:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.
Thank you!

Hi Lara,
Saw your post on GAC re barnstars. Just to inform you that my names is Ashwin, a male name in India. Being a linux enthusiast, my handle is what my friends call me - AshLin rather than Ashwin so that the 'win' (recalling windows) doesnt offend their sensibilities. :-) Regards, AshLin 06:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

HI, if you have a chance, would you look at Cantor's FAC? Thanks! Ling.Nut 02:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Lara - I have not actually reviewed the article at all yet (beyond checking that it's not a quick-fail). When I went there to review it was clearly being copyedited, and the editors have said this will be finished this week. I thought the 'on hold' template was only for articles that were pending a copyedit following an intial review, but I can use it here if you like to clear up the ambiguity... although I did consider delisting it and waiting for a re-nom; maybe that would have been better? Regards EyeSerene TALK 07:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, LaraLove, and thanks for your participation in my RfA. I've withdrawn it, and will be writing up an "analysis" of it, which will soon be available at User:Giggy/RfA/Giggy when it's done. Please come around when you get the chance, and give me feedback on how I can improve. Thanks again, Giggy U C P 04:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. I was wondering if you could copyedit Goldfinger if you have the time sometime. Yes I think that sounds a teeny bit silly too "time sometime". It recently passed GA and I opened up a peer review as well. Hope you can help! Cliff smith 20:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the GA sorting project, which I've started working on. Do you consider it important to fill in the oldid field? If so, it's the id of version of the article that got promoted, not the version of the talk page, right? Is there any trick to this, or is it just the obvious - hunt for version of talk page that mentions GA promotion, then find article version that existed just before promotion? ike9898 16:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
if the earth was flat I'd say youd fallen off of it...you ok? Vandalfighter101 16:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I find User:Vandalfighter101 to be incredibly annoying. Especially his propensity to misspell "vandal" as "vandel." It seems odd, considering that it's spelled right in his name. Do you agree? 18:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
See your coaching page. The Transhumanist 20:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Somebody nominated me for admin! I accepted, thanks for all your help. Vandalfighter101 04:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey why were you gone for so long? I was starting to get worried... Vandalfighter101 05:06, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
lol I thoughtd youd fallen off the earth...glad to have you back :) Vandalfighter101 05:12, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
lol yea but when you only know a few people on wikipedia it seemes like much longer... Vandalfighter101 05:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
hey could you put my 250th edit on my userpage for me? Vandalfighter101 05:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thanks Vandalfighter101 05:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the GAC review. I've been through it and addressed most of your concerns. Though I must admit I'm completely confused about the formatting for references and footnotes.-- Lec CRP1 22:21, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

You have the most awesome username and signature ever. Good work! Capuchin 09:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
I like your new choice of colors too. Anyway, back to other things: I replied on my talk page to your comment, but this now seems to be a storm in a teacup, given that Gimmetrow and Gimmebot support the topic field. I expect it will be added to ArticleHistory very shortly (e.g. by me). Geometry guy 22:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Self censorship is not grounds for blocking someone on Wikipedia, and since Wikipedia does not have ownership to anything I post, I can delete anything I write, even if it is on an article's discussion page (personal discussion pages are not included). Wikipedia simply frowns upon the action. Please take this into consideration before threatening to block me. Thanks. Spuddy 17 22:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Lara, how's it going? I'm going to review Maroon 5 for GA but I was wondering if you could just add the relevant copyright information to the above image as specified in the tag : "You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded." I realise you didn't upload it yourself but for the fair-use rationale to apply we need to provide this information. All the best, The Rambling Man 11:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey Lara,
Thanks for giving this article a good critique... you're great. Also, I don't know if you noticed it, but the date that you entered for as the retreived date is wrong. You were putting in tomorrow date. So User:2005 reverted those changes as 'false dates.' If you are looking at things, then you need to go back and put todays date in there... otherwise I can add the date I looked them up... Balloonman 21:50, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
It was 6 to 1, but the most recent vote definently was not a week old. Homestarmy 04:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
(←)Ok, I don't really understand. By the new archiving procedure, my recommendation qualified the article to be archived (more than 3 days since nomination, at least 6 recommendations, clear consensus). So it's not a speedy archive. Regardless, we're not supposed to tally votes. That's how all the drama started to begin with. So all I'm saying is rather than say it was 6-1, or whatever it may be in any particular case, briefly explain the consensus. Lara ♥Love 04:55, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, LaraLove. Some good people have told me I should have "met" you long ago; I don't know how we've managed to never cross paths before :-) Both Dr pda and Gimmetrow have had limited time on Wiki lately, but now they've both focused on the articlehistory errors I mentioned, so I think progress will be made. My original description of the problems wasn't at all clear, so I've posted a follow up at the articlehistory talk page. Best regards, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 17:02, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.
Thank you!

I messed it up :( The ratio was actually perfect. I feel like Scottie in Boogie Nights when he tried to kiss Dirk Diggler. Idiot! Laters. the_undertow talk 03:58, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Rock Springs massacre is at FAC, see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Rock Springs massacre your comments would be appreciated. IvoShandor 06:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Lara,
Saw your post on GAC re barnstars. Just to inform you that my names is Ashwin, a male name in India. Being a linux enthusiast, my handle is what my friends call me - AshLin rather than Ashwin so that the 'win' (recalling windows) doesnt offend their sensibilities. :-) Regards, AshLin 06:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

HI, if you have a chance, would you look at Cantor's FAC? Thanks! Ling.Nut 02:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks Lara - I have not actually reviewed the article at all yet (beyond checking that it's not a quick-fail). When I went there to review it was clearly being copyedited, and the editors have said this will be finished this week. I thought the 'on hold' template was only for articles that were pending a copyedit following an intial review, but I can use it here if you like to clear up the ambiguity... although I did consider delisting it and waiting for a re-nom; maybe that would have been better? Regards EyeSerene TALK 07:43, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, LaraLove, and thanks for your participation in my RfA. I've withdrawn it, and will be writing up an "analysis" of it, which will soon be available at User:Giggy/RfA/Giggy when it's done. Please come around when you get the chance, and give me feedback on how I can improve. Thanks again, Giggy U C P 04:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
