Hi Moni, thanks so much for reading the Battle of Lipantitlan article; you are a great test case for whether or not I am making sense, and apparently I am not this time. I'm confused, though, on what exactly you were confused about. Are you asking for more background on the Texas Revolution (why are the Mexicans and Texans fighting)? Or is it more that you didn't get a good feel for why the Texians wanted to fight this particular battle? Or does the aftermath section not adequately explained the consequences of the Mexican defeat? Or all of the above? Thanks! Karanacs ( talk) 17:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Moni, you posted at one or more of the recent discussions of short FAs. There's now a proposal to change the featured article criteria that attempts to address this. Please take a look and consider adding your comments to the straw poll there. Mike Christie (talk) 19:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
The only information I've been able to find on Morris Milk is exactly what you've seen. I can find no record of a "Beth Israel" in Woodmere other than Milk's biography. There is an Congregation Ohr Torah and a Young Israel synagogue in North Woodmere, but they were founded too recently to be related. Jayjg (talk) 01:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Harvey Milk represents a different kind of symbol, a kind of culture hero. As one of the first openly gay elected public officials in the U.S. (Milk was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1978), Milk came to be a role model for gay people and to personify a new kind of power and pride in his participation in government as an open- ly gay man. His assassination, for gay people his martyrdom, repre- sented a tragic end to his political life, although his death served only to solidify the movement more.

For Mulholland Drive (film), Stonewall riots, and Harvey Milk - Thank you for writing these fascinating and well-researched articles!

Reception history of Jane Austen, one of the daughter articles for Jane Austen, is up for peer review here. I would appreciate your thoughts. Awadewit ( talk) 20:53, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I read the article; interesting, but nothing I can use for the Space SF FAC, unfortunately. I'll hang on to it in case it comes in handy for other genre-related work I do. Thanks for taking the trouble to get it to me.
You haven't expressed an oppose or support at the Space SF FAC; since I'm posting here I thought I'd ask if you intend to, or if there's any further response you're waiting for from me. Mike Christie (talk) 23:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. SandyGeorgia had recommended me to you some time back. If you have time, could you please copy edit this article for me. It is in PR right now.thanks, Dineshkannambadi ( talk) 23:53, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
but the footnotes at the Milk FAC? :) Awadewit ( talk) 16:43, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Moni, withdrawing a premature nom is different than archiving a FAC after it has opposes: I don't want to overburden GimmeBot or articlehistory with the non-events. See User:SandyGeorgia/Withdrawn FAC and check my contribs. Thanks !! SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 19:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for very much your note, I'm glad somebody else shares my enthusiasm for this truly amazing author. She really was a fascinating creature, wasn't she? However, I'm afarid I'm not very learned on internet jargon. Could you tell me what FA status means please?
Yours, -- 6afraidof7 ( talk) 22:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Moni, would you mind going to this article and seeing if the changes made since its last FAC are to your satisfaction? It's going through a copyedit at this time, and it was recommended that I get the input of all reviewers. Thanks. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 04:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
As I say, I always love getting additional resources; thanks very much for finding and sending them. I also really appreciate the careful attention to detail you offered in your comments. I have continued to think about it, and while I don't feel strongly one way or another, I do still feel that – given the fact that she spends so much time in her autobiography remarking upon the hypocrisy of those who claim to be in favor of women's suffrage – Mrs. Pankhurst's real focus was those who pretended to be with her, not those who were proud to oppose. I wish other folks had weighed in; I'm no good at making content decisions! =) Cheers. Scartol • Tok 12:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Moni, I notice you are mentoring one of the students at WikiProject AP Biology 2008 (indeed, the article is one of those that I've been following). The FA-Team has just launched a mission to help this project, and also WikiProject North of the Rio Grande, improve articles towards featured quality. I'm hoping you would like to support a couple more articles and even join the FA Team! If so, please add your name to the articles you are watchlisting on the mission page (which might amuse you). Thanks, Geometry guy 19:30, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Ah, okay, you meant ordering the words. But it should still be in the lead. The history of the term is opposed to the history, because the history section deals with the subject matter of lesbian sexuality not the origins of the words lesbian. Which what was at issue. As for the external links, see the history for the reason and see WP:EL. Lihaas ( talk) 01:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

How are you holding up? I kind of surprised by the turn that the Milk FAC has taken. Awadewit ( talk) 15:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't think "modern" implies a contrast with ancient. Think about the term "modern technology". Depending on the context, you might only be talking about the last year! And even if it did imply contrast with ancient, that would only force us to push the date of the beginning of the modern movement back (otherwise, what are you going to call the stuff before Stonewall?).
The homophile movement existed earlier in the US, as you mentioned. I disagree that it's insignificant and therefore worth speaking as though it didn't even happen.
Finally, Stonewall was the beginning of the current gay rights movement in the entire Western world, and I think it only makes sense to write about the impact of the event in that scope. And even if the gay rights movement didn't exist before in the US, they have become the defining event that marked the start of the modern gay rights movement in the United States and around the world is still not an incorrect statement.
So I'm pretty convinced that modern should stay. Best, MQDuck 12:07, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I've given the talkpage a bit of a spongebath to clear out what looked to be resolved or stale items. I'm unclear if the few I've left are done or not. From the comments above as well I can't tell if there is new drama at the FAC? Hope all is well - you gotta have hope! -- Banjeboi 21:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
...would you mind striking the items that are finished at Wikipedia:Peer review/Reception history of Jane Austen/archive1? I'm wading through a lot there. :) Awadewit ( talk) 00:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Glad I perked up your day :P If edit summaries allowed external links i woulda thrown this guy up and complete the in-joke, but alas... by the way, I freely admit I'm king of the nerds in this case; I've watched the film so many times writing the article (once to remember the plot, once for the text commentary, once with the audio commentary, once with the family, once with the girlfriend) that I mouth the lines as it goes along.

Hi, I'm hoping to try for a FAC for Bart Simpson on Friday and I was wondering if you could take a look at the page and let me know what you think. It has a much larger section about his cultural impact than Homer's article does, and I think it's closer to the suggestion that you made on the Homer Simpson talk page. Anyway, if you could take a look it would be appreciated. Thanks, Scorpion 0422 17:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Moni, I trust your judgment and even handiness, so would you look at this dispute I'm having with an editor on Talk:Joe the Plumber#Israel comments and tell me which of the WP:Dispute resolution processes I should start with: WP:Editor assistance, WP:Third opinion, WP:POVN or what? Basically, I believe the paragraph in question is subject to WP:NPOV, and the other editor does not, for reasons spelled out by both of us in the thread (with it's sub-thread). Thanks much. — Becksguy ( talk) 00:03, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Agree, but unfortunately he is now notable because of the campaign and media circus. But then, so is Paris Hilton. Anyway, what should I do now? If I delete the paragraph or add the responses, I think it will just start an edit war. And I don't believe edit wars are good for anyone. — Becksguy ( talk) 00:57, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I was wondering if you'd heard back from Prof Katz. I found this [1], with a different e-mail address from the one that was posted on the WP talkpage. Somehow I can't find his faculty webpage. Zigzig20s ( talk) 11:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Moni3! I've translated Stonewall riots into Finnish. However, there are a few images that we are unable to use in the Finnish Wikipedia, because they're not in Commons (specifically Image:Kay Lahusen in 1969.jpg, Image:Layout of the Stonewall Inn 1969.PNG and Image:Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village map.png). Would you be so kind as to move them there? I could do this myself, but as you are the original uploader, I suspect it would be easier for you. Thanks! -- Olli ( talk) 22:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, and hope all's well. I was wondering if you would be willing and able to help mentor a group of students on the NRG project as they enter the final stages of their assignment? If so, they and I would be forever grateful. I was thinking that How the García Girls Lost Their Accents might be an article that would be attractive to you... What say you? It would be simply magnificent if you were able to help out. -- jbmurray ( talk • contribs) 03:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Florida and U.S. Sugar are in the news today, at least at nytimes.com; apparently Florida's going to let U.S. Sugar keep everything but the land, and I'm not sure what they're going to do with all the assets if they're not farming the land, so it may be there's no deal at all. Perhaps a case of saying one thing before the election and another thing afterwards. I'm sorry, I'm tied up with RL stuff and article-writing and won't be able to participate, but I thought of you when I saw the news. - Dan Dank55 ( send/receive) 12:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Very inspirational newsletter. Made me want to go write an FA immediately. Possibly, not so much on the obscure gay films and more with legislation and gay rights though? :) I will look into it (after the essay on how geography and archaeology contribute to the study of the Bible that's due tomorrow! :D) - I started work on Civil partnerships in the UK a little while ago...
Really not sure on the importance thing - like I said on the talkpage, from what I've seen in other projects, it seems like a lot of work for the people assessing, good faith effort better targetted into article writing and categorisation, for very little use. I am delighted, however, that someone is so enthusiastic about giving the project some oomph. Me and Jeff took a single page with 17 members and turned into a cabal to be reckoned with, that's fractured a bit since - I hope you do better; today Wikipedia, tomorrow the White House. :) Dev920, who misses Jeffpw. 01:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
That was certainly a very inspiring newsletter! Okie dokie, let's see what we can do. :D I doubt I can contribute much to U.S legislation-related articles (shame what happened in California, though...), but I'm sure there's some relatively important Start-class article waiting for some love... ^_^ See ya!

Not Hanson (band), but Glen Hanson. Does your library have archives of the Washington Blade? I'm looking for any ref that says that Glen is gay, and it's proving to be *very* difficult. One possibility I found is:
Next time you go by your library, would you check and see if you have that one? I would very much appreciate it!!!

I was just wondering if you were keeping up with the developments of the State of Florida buyout of US Sugar Corp which seems to be falling through. I also was wondering if you knew that there was a very easy way to help the Everglades without spending too much money. If the new administration were to eliminate price supports for sugar grown in the United States, all of the sugar farms would go out of business tomorrow - and no one would have to buy them out of anything.

Hey, I'm sorry to bother you, especially when you have so recently gotten through helping with my GAN, but I just accidentally got involved in a dispute at Talk:Gay#Change in usage of the word in the late 1960s and, given your involvement in LGBT articles, I thought maybe you could take a look. I am going to try to avoid the discussion for a few hours because I am pretty offended by what the last editor said and don't want to get myself into a war, but if you could spare a moment to take a look at the discussion (it's very short right now) and offer an unbiased opinion, I would greatly appreciate it.

The only information I've been able to find on Morris Milk is exactly what you've seen. I can find no record of a "Beth Israel" in Woodmere other than Milk's biography. There is an Congregation Ohr Torah and a Young Israel synagogue in North Woodmere, but they were founded too recently to be related. Jayjg (talk) 01:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Harvey Milk represents a different kind of symbol, a kind of culture hero. As one of the first openly gay elected public officials in the U.S. (Milk was elected to San Francisco's Board of Supervisors in 1978), Milk came to be a role model for gay people and to personify a new kind of power and pride in his participation in government as an open- ly gay man. His assassination, for gay people his martyrdom, repre- sented a tragic end to his political life, although his death served only to solidify the movement more.

Hi Moni, would you mind going to this article and seeing if the changes made since its last FAC are to your satisfaction? It's going through a copyedit at this time, and it was recommended that I get the input of all reviewers. Thanks. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 04:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
As I say, I always love getting additional resources; thanks very much for finding and sending them. I also really appreciate the careful attention to detail you offered in your comments. I have continued to think about it, and while I don't feel strongly one way or another, I do still feel that – given the fact that she spends so much time in her autobiography remarking upon the hypocrisy of those who claim to be in favor of women's suffrage – Mrs. Pankhurst's real focus was those who pretended to be with her, not those who were proud to oppose. I wish other folks had weighed in; I'm no good at making content decisions! =) Cheers. Scartol • Tok 12:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Moni, I notice you are mentoring one of the students at WikiProject AP Biology 2008 (indeed, the article is one of those that I've been following). The FA-Team has just launched a mission to help this project, and also WikiProject North of the Rio Grande, improve articles towards featured quality. I'm hoping you would like to support a couple more articles and even join the FA Team! If so, please add your name to the articles you are watchlisting on the mission page (which might amuse you). Thanks, Geometry guy 19:30, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Ah, okay, you meant ordering the words. But it should still be in the lead. The history of the term is opposed to the history, because the history section deals with the subject matter of lesbian sexuality not the origins of the words lesbian. Which what was at issue. As for the external links, see the history for the reason and see WP:EL. Lihaas ( talk) 01:06, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

How are you holding up? I kind of surprised by the turn that the Milk FAC has taken. Awadewit ( talk) 15:37, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I don't think "modern" implies a contrast with ancient. Think about the term "modern technology". Depending on the context, you might only be talking about the last year! And even if it did imply contrast with ancient, that would only force us to push the date of the beginning of the modern movement back (otherwise, what are you going to call the stuff before Stonewall?).
The homophile movement existed earlier in the US, as you mentioned. I disagree that it's insignificant and therefore worth speaking as though it didn't even happen.
Finally, Stonewall was the beginning of the current gay rights movement in the entire Western world, and I think it only makes sense to write about the impact of the event in that scope. And even if the gay rights movement didn't exist before in the US, they have become the defining event that marked the start of the modern gay rights movement in the United States and around the world is still not an incorrect statement.
So I'm pretty convinced that modern should stay. Best, MQDuck 12:07, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
I've given the talkpage a bit of a spongebath to clear out what looked to be resolved or stale items. I'm unclear if the few I've left are done or not.

Hi, I'm hoping to try for a FAC for Bart Simpson on Friday and I was wondering if you could take a look at the page and let me know what you think. It has a much larger section about his cultural impact than Homer's article does, and I think it's closer to the suggestion that you made on the Homer Simpson talk page. Anyway, if you could take a look it would be appreciated. Thanks, Scorpion 0422 17:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
Moni, I trust your judgment and even handiness, so would you look at this dispute I'm having with an editor on Talk:Joe the Plumber#Israel comments and tell me which of the WP:Dispute resolution processes I should start with: WP:Editor assistance, WP:Third opinion, WP:POVN or what? Basically, I believe the paragraph in question is subject to WP:NPOV, and the other editor does not, for reasons spelled out by both of us in the thread (with it's sub-thread). Thanks much. — Becksguy ( talk) 00:03, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Agree, but unfortunately he is now notable because of the campaign and media circus. But then, so is Paris Hilton. Anyway, what should I do now?

Hi Moni3! I've translated Stonewall riots into Finnish.

Florida and U.S. Sugar are in the news today, at least at nytimes.com; apparently Florida's going to let U.S. Sugar keep everything but the land, and I'm not sure what they're going to do with all the assets if they're not farming the land, so it may be there's no deal at all. Perhaps a case of saying one thing before the election and another thing afterwards.

Very inspirational newsletter. Made me want to go write an FA immediately. Possibly, not so much on the obscure gay films and more with legislation and gay rights though? :) I will look into it (after the essay on how geography and archaeology contribute to the study of the Bible that's due tomorrow! :D) - I started work on Civil partnerships in the UK a little while ago...
Really not sure on the importance thing - like I said on the talkpage, from what I've seen in other projects, it seems like a lot of work for the people assessing, good faith effort better targetted into article writing and categorisation, for very little use. I am delighted, however, that someone is so enthusiastic about giving the project some oomph. Me and Jeff took a single page with 17 members and turned into a cabal to be reckoned with, that's fractured a bit since - I hope you do better; today Wikipedia, tomorrow the White House. :) Dev920, who misses Jeffpw. 01:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
That was certainly a very inspiring newsletter! Okie dokie, let's see what we can do. :D I doubt I can contribute much to U.S legislation-related articles (shame what happened in California, though...), but I'm sure there's some relatively important Start-class article waiting for some love... ^_^ See ya!

I was just wondering if you were keeping up with the developments of the State of Florida buyout of US Sugar Corp which seems to be falling through. I also was wondering if you knew that there was a very easy way to help the Everglades without spending too much money. If the new administration were to eliminate price supports for sugar grown in the United States, all of the sugar farms would go out of business tomorrow - and no one would have to buy them out of anything.
