Thanks for the DYK medal, PFH. I didn't even know there was a DYK Hall of Fame until you pointed it out :) Who's been keeping track of my DYK's? That was very nice of them.
However, whoever it was, I think they have made a slight error, because according to my count, I already have 51 DYK's (50 self noms + 1 other nom), not 49 :) Gatoclass ( talk) 01:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello PFHLai. I don't want to publicize Oxnam's illness on Wikipedia's MainPage. I think the hook "...that Robert Oxnam, author of a bestselling memoir describing his dissociative identity disorder, was president of the Asia Society for over a decade?" would be better. English is my second language. Although I am comfortable with the language, sometimes I can sound rude. Regards, Masterpiece2000 ( talk) 09:45, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I saw your request. Please note that everything on MainPage is fully protected to avoid vandalism. (See Wikipedia:Editing the main page.) If you don't want your wording to be mercilessly edited and revised after it's posted on ITN, you may want to bring this up at Template talk:In the news. -- PFHLai ( talk) 17:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Template:COTWnow requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks, but the only input I had into the article was selecting the hook that got in, and referencing it. From what I know about the DYK process, that doesn't qualify for a DYK banner.

Good evening, my dear Mr Lai. Thank-you for amending my submission; I did not realise that 'Fair use' pictures (whatever they may be) could not be used. I thank you for enlightening me. Tell me, are you one of the little people? One assumes so, judging by the size of your writing and the date being what it is.

You added a "more notes"-tag to Etta Palm d'Aelders before you left town. I explained in the references for that article that most facts are taken from * Gérald Arboit, « SOUVENT FEMME VARIE » UNE ESPIONNE HOLLANDAISE À PARIS..., and that this online article does not have page numbers, so it is difficult to provide inline refs. I have however given a complete quote from Arboit as a citation for the claim that Marat frequented her salon. Arboit is a reputable French historian (you may want to google him), and the article (which I used as an external link)looks solid (except for the mistakes about the arrest record at he end, for which I have given a better citation). So I think your tag is superfluous and since you seem to be indefinitely offline, I have removed it.-- Ereunetes ( talk) 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, i noticed that you made a comment on PD-USGov-NASA regarding the cosmonaut crew photos. To be honest, I don't think anyone has a real understanding about the copyright status of these photos. :( The exchange of these photos likely falls under some part of the ISS agreement probably as defined by the "Space Station Multilateral Co-ordination Board" but to actually find those regulations is not easy :( -- TheDJ ( talk • contribs) 12:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I expanded the article on Thaba Bosiu (it was started by another person on the 7th this month), but can't come up with a decent hook for DYK. Since you always write nice hooks, could you please take a look at it and see if you can come up with anything? I normally wouldn't care much, but it'd be nice to have an article on something from Lesotho on the main page (systemic bias and all that). Thanks. - Bobet 01:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with your claim that all of those items are more notable than the Canadian constitutional patriation. At the same time as it formally made Canada independent from Britain, it gave the Canadian courts supremacy over the parliament, which had never been done before in any of the similar parliamentary democracies. An item like the 335 Year War is quirky and interesting, but the patriation has huge historical implications in the field of parliamentary law. This is probably the third most important event in Canadian history, and out of the 366x5 items in On This Day, Canada is surely entitled to at least three events. -- Arctic Gnome ( talk • contribs) 23:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey PFHLai! just dropping by to say thank you for nominating for DYK some of the articles I've been writing recently on giant California oil fields -- I really thought no one would notice, and it's kind of nice ... no, I take that back, it's really nice.

Thanks, but the only input I had into the article was selecting the hook that got in, and referencing it. From what I know about the DYK process, that doesn't qualify for a DYK banner. That credit goes to JKBrooks85. I'll remove the banner from my talk page myself. :) — Dale Arnett ( talk) 13:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Is it correct to italicize "HSK" in "HSK Kormoran," or was this done in error? (I have no idea.) Thanks! — David Levy 18:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Good evening, my dear Mr Lai. Thank-you for amending my submission; I did not realise that 'Fair use' pictures (whatever they may be) could not be used. I thank you for enlightening me. Tell me, are you one of the little people? One assumes so, judging by the size of your writing and the date being what it is.

You added a "more notes"-tag to Etta Palm d'Aelders before you left town. I explained in the references for that article that most facts are taken from * Gérald Arboit, « SOUVENT FEMME VARIE » UNE ESPIONNE HOLLANDAISE À PARIS..., and that this online article does not have page numbers, so it is difficult to provide inline refs. I have however given a complete quote from Arboit as a citation for the claim that Marat frequented her salon. Arboit is a reputable French historian (you may want to google him), and the article (which I used as an external link)looks solid (except for the mistakes about the arrest record at he end, for which I have given a better citation). So I think your tag is superfluous and since you seem to be indefinitely offline, I have removed it.-- Ereunetes ( talk) 20:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, i noticed that you made a comment on PD-USGov-NASA regarding the cosmonaut crew photos. To be honest, I don't think anyone has a real understanding about the copyright status of these photos. :( The exchange of these photos likely falls under some part of the ISS agreement probably as defined by the "Space Station Multilateral Co-ordination Board" but to actually find those regulations is not easy :( -- TheDJ ( talk • contribs) 12:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I expanded the article on Thaba Bosiu (it was started by another person on the 7th this month), but can't come up with a decent hook for DYK. Since you always write nice hooks, could you please take a look at it and see if you can come up with anything? I normally wouldn't care much, but it'd be nice to have an article on something from Lesotho on the main page (systemic bias and all that). Thanks. - Bobet 01:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I disagree with your claim that all of those items are more notable than the Canadian constitutional patriation. At the same time as it formally made Canada independent from Britain, it gave the Canadian courts supremacy over the parliament, which had never been done before in any of the similar parliamentary democracies. An item like the 335 Year War is quirky and interesting, but the patriation has huge historical implications in the field of parliamentary law. This is probably the third most important event in Canadian history, and out of the 366x5 items in On This Day, Canada is surely entitled to at least three events. -- Arctic Gnome ( talk • contribs) 23:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
