My congratulations too, 1000 DYKs is off course a great achievement after which you have all rights to retire :-) If not, then Michaelwild might need your help with updating/defending the hook for that nom. Its a good article, but I'm not sure the diabetes part is justified for main page - it is a massive research and I want to be careful with not stirring scientific world by a post at WP main page. Use in oriental medicine is Ok with me though. Materialscientist ( talk) 08:19, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand. This edit appears to change it so that all relisted things are invariably sorted under "Relist", as opposed to whatever their AFD subpage name is. Or am I reading it wrong? harej 14:40, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Salut, PFHLai! I'm wondering why you removed the stub tag from the Giono article when it basically only covers his first three books, makes it sound as though his career was over by the nineteen-thirties, says nothing about his pacifism and consequent problems during and after WWII, doesn't even mention his change of manner and second period . . . it looks like a stub to me.

Hello! Your submission of Jordan Romero at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!
Is there anything else that can be added on this one? It's barely above the minimum even with 300 or so characters of quotation. Espresso Addict ( talk) 23:47, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for including me. I feel humbled. I am working two projects and need to pump out an article today so it's within the five day window for a DYK nom. I will revisit Jordan Romero hopefully before an admin reviews it for the DYK nom addition. I don't know if you want to expand the article. What I would recommend is looking the See main article I created using the Mountaineering terms. Some of terms are not a separate Wikipedia article but you can force a wikilink by linking a word in the list. For example, ascend. I will put this in now. ---- moreno oso ( talk) 10:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry about the referneces; they are my weak point on wikipedia. The short references were "references within a reference" from [2] so I can't provide more details on where they come from. I did a quick web search but can't as yet find the original documents online. I will try to put in footnotes on the description and distribution. Also just to note that I am not 100% certain if the pictures are of the said varieties - need to get an expert to look at them to confirm. Also the taxonomic status of these trees may still be in confusion; an expert needs to look at that too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelwild ( talk • contribs) 17:00, 2010 May 30 (UTC)

Thanks for the DYK nomination! The reason I didn't nominate it is that I'm really out of my depth on the topic. Someone who likes to create stubs on disasters created one on the September 2009 quake, that is at AfD, I argued for retaining it based on sources I found and added, and Mandsford was convinced there should instead be a global article. I can read German so I pointed out the German article on the Cologne Bight seismic zone, but declined to create the article . . . he did, but he apparently doesn't read German so it was a bit of a mess, so I improved it, including translating the meat of the article to go with the list he had imported and summarizing material from 2 German articles on specific historical earthquakes that have their own articles on de.wikipedia, and then stuck the "expert needed" template on it since that was as far as I figured I could go. I can try to find refs for the geology section other than the ones that are already there (official German geology and seismology sites), but I really hope someone else who knows the stuff can do that. (I was thinking that when I had time - I put aside 2 articles I was improving to fix up this one - I'd look for info on the 1951 Euskirchen quake. That was a 5.8 and prompted the creation of the German earthquake monitoring station. Surely there is material in newspaper archives on that.) The stuff about the effects of the Düren quake, however, is taken from the Monheim book, which is full view on Google. It's just in German :-) Yngvadottir ( talk) 15:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

There are tons of usable FA/GAs out there, except hardly anybody knows to nominate their own FA/GA. I've been harvesting a few from a prolific FA/GA writers on "important" things but it will be rather glacial while hardly anyone cares, or only complains without helping to dig, or only complains about topics they don't like. So we have a few more Brazil and classical music now, but I wonder if you would like to help scan FA writers' userpages.

Hello, and thank you very much for your comments at the DYK nomination page. All of the currently used volatile anesthetic agents, including methoxyflurane, are fluorinated haloalkanes. With the exception of halothane, all of them are also halogenated ethers. All of them, including halothane, were first synthesized as a direct result of research that was conducted in support of the Manhattan Project. The first of these to appear in clinical use was halothane, in 1956.
The field of halogen and organofluorine chemistry was poorly understood until around 1942, when the chemists, chemical engineers and physicists of the Manhattan Project turned their attention to the problem of separating uranium-235 from uranium-238. These two isotopes are nearly identical in all respects, including their molecular weights. The problem was ultimately solved by Francis Simon and Nicholas Kurti, when they figured out that the two isotopes could be separated by gaseous diffusion.
First however the uranium had to be rendered into a gaseous form. Uranium hexafluoride ( U F6) was selected after chemists figured out how to synthesize UF6. Among the team of chemists involved was William T. Miller, the man who first synthesized methoxyflurane as a byproduct of this organofluorine chemistry research. So you can see that the volatile anesthetic agents of today are really a spin-off of the technology developed during the Manhattan Project.
I believe this information deserves a separate section within the Manhattan Project article: "Spin-off tecnologies". I will eventually add this section, and link it to the halothane and methoxyflurane articles. Thanks again for your interest! DiverDave ( talk) 17:20, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi PFHLai,
A question about this edit. Do we restart the clock whenever a story is updated like this? It seems reasonable to me to update a blurb as events change, but if we shift the date back every time we do, then it ends up staying on the main page far longer than other items about things that aren't as fluid. It would seem more reasonable to me to keep it's place in line, but update as new info becomes available. Otherwise, it doesn't make as much sense to keep items current if it means extending their stay on the main page. If you could explain why restarting the clock is better, or point me to a guideline or discussion somewhere, I'd appreciate it.
Not complaining, just asking. I saw your weekdays edit notice; there's no rush on this, I'm just curious. I'm not looking to change it back or anything. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 19:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Apologies for doing this, but I had another look at the double 'no-hitter' DYK I reviewed, and I'm not entirely happy with my prose calculations and whether the article text duplicated between the 'no-hitter by franchise' lists counts or not.

Why did you make so many changes to the prep areas? I can't see any beneficial difference between what I had done and the current state of things. I spent a lot of time promoting articles and organizing them in what I believed were well balanced groups. You totally re-did most of them; some of which I think are less well organized than previously. If this is what helping out at DYK is like than I'm simply not going to do it anymore. It's a waist of my time if what I do is going to be completely changed. Sorry if I sound upset at you, but I am kind of miffed. If what I had done was somehow wrong, I appologize in advance.

Salut, PFHLai! I'm wondering why you removed the stub tag from the Giono article when it basically only covers his first three books, makes it sound as though his career was over by the nineteen-thirties, says nothing about his pacifism and consequent problems during and after WWII, doesn't even mention his change of manner and second period . . . it looks like a stub to me.

Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know!
Is there anything else that can be added on this one? It's barely above the minimum even with 300 or so characters of quotation. Espresso Addict ( talk) 23:47, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for including me. I feel humbled. I am working two projects and need to pump out an article today so it's within the five day window for a DYK nom. I will revisit Jordan Romero hopefully before an admin reviews it for the DYK nom addition. I don't know if you want to expand the article. What I would recommend is looking the See main article I created using the Mountaineering terms. Some of terms are not a separate Wikipedia article but you can force a wikilink by linking a word in the list. For example, ascend. I will put this in now. ---- moreno oso ( talk) 10:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry about the referneces; they are my weak point on wikipedia. The short references were "references within a reference" from [2] so I can't provide more details on where they come from. I did a quick web search but can't as yet find the original documents online. I will try to put in footnotes on the description and distribution. Also just to note that I am not 100% certain if the pictures are of the said varieties - need to get an expert to look at them to confirm. Also the taxonomic status of these trees may still be in confusion; an expert needs to look at that too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelwild ( talk • contribs) 17:00, 2010 May 30 (UTC)

Thanks for the DYK nomination! The reason I didn't nominate it is that I'm really out of my depth on the topic. Someone who likes to create stubs on disasters created one on the September 2009 quake, that is at AfD, I argued for retaining it based on sources I found and added, and Mandsford was convinced there should instead be a global article. I can read German so I pointed out the German article on the Cologne Bight seismic zone, but declined to create the article . . . he did, but he apparently doesn't read German so it was a bit of a mess, so I improved it, including translating the meat of the article to go with the list he had imported and summarizing material from 2 German articles on specific historical earthquakes that have their own articles on de.wikipedia, and then stuck the "expert needed" template on it since that was as far as I figured I could go. I can try to find refs for the geology section other than the ones that are already there (official German geology and seismology sites), but I really hope someone else who knows the stuff can do that. (I was thinking that when I had time - I put aside 2 articles I was improving to fix up this one - I'd look for info on the 1951 Euskirchen quake. That was a 5.8 and prompted the creation of the German earthquake monitoring station. Surely there is material in newspaper archives on that.) The stuff about the effects of the Düren quake, however, is taken from the Monheim book, which is full view on Google. It's just in German :-) Yngvadottir ( talk) 15:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

There are tons of usable FA/GAs out there, except hardly anybody knows to nominate their own FA/GA. I've been harvesting a few from a prolific FA/GA writers on "important" things but it will be rather glacial while hardly anyone cares, or only complains without helping to dig, or only complains about topics they don't like. So we have a few more Brazil and classical music now, but I wonder if you would like to help scan FA writers' userpages.

Hello, and thank you very much for your comments at the DYK nomination page. All of the currently used volatile anesthetic agents, including methoxyflurane, are fluorinated haloalkanes. With the exception of halothane, all of them are also halogenated ethers. All of them, including halothane, were first synthesized as a direct result of research that was conducted in support of the Manhattan Project. The first of these to appear in clinical use was halothane, in 1956.
The field of halogen and organofluorine chemistry was poorly understood until around 1942, when the chemists, chemical engineers and physicists of the Manhattan Project turned their attention to the problem of separating uranium-235 from uranium-238. These two isotopes are nearly identical in all respects, including their molecular weights. The problem was ultimately solved by Francis Simon and Nicholas Kurti, when they figured out that the two isotopes could be separated by gaseous diffusion.
First however the uranium had to be rendered into a gaseous form. Uranium hexafluoride ( U F6) was selected after chemists figured out how to synthesize UF6. Among the team of chemists involved was William T. Miller, the man who first synthesized methoxyflurane as a byproduct of this organofluorine chemistry research. So you can see that the volatile anesthetic agents of today are really a spin-off of the technology developed during the Manhattan Project.
I believe this information deserves a separate section within the Manhattan Project article: "Spin-off tecnologies". I will eventually add this section, and link it to the halothane and methoxyflurane articles. Thanks again for your interest! DiverDave ( talk) 17:20, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi PFHLai,
A question about this edit. Do we restart the clock whenever a story is updated like this? It seems reasonable to me to update a blurb as events change, but if we shift the date back every time we do, then it ends up staying on the main page far longer than other items about things that aren't as fluid. It would seem more reasonable to me to keep it's place in line, but update as new info becomes available. Otherwise, it doesn't make as much sense to keep items current if it means extending their stay on the main page. If you could explain why restarting the clock is better, or point me to a guideline or discussion somewhere, I'd appreciate it.
Not complaining, just asking. I saw your weekdays edit notice; there's no rush on this, I'm just curious. I'm not looking to change it back or anything. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 19:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Apologies for doing this, but I had another look at the double 'no-hitter' DYK I reviewed, and I'm not entirely happy with my prose calculations and whether the article text duplicated between the 'no-hitter by franchise' lists counts or not.

Why did you make so many changes to the prep areas? I can't see any beneficial difference between what I had done and the current state of things. I spent a lot of time promoting articles and organizing them in what I believed were well balanced groups. You totally re-did most of them; some of which I think are less well organized than previously. If this is what helping out at DYK is like than I'm simply not going to do it anymore. It's a waist of my time if what I do is going to be completely changed. Sorry if I sound upset at you, but I am kind of miffed. If what I had done was somehow wrong, I appologize in advance.
