hi,
thanks for working on the Nephila komaci article. would you consider changing the style concerning big inline citations? it makes the text very hard to edit without special tools, cluttering enormously. even i get the creeps when encountering an article with many citations like this, imagine somebody not very versed in wiki markup, he'll be completely lost. i myself, and several other editors i talked to, have from time to time even refrained from editing an article because of inline blocks like these. as a compromise, there is now the practise to add the citation like <ref name="kuntner">Kuntner 2009</ref> inline, list all these under a Notes section, and then list the full references under a References section. This is really useful for taxonomic articles, to keep the text clean and editable, while at the same time being able to sort the citations cleanly at the end (by date, or alphabet, instead of first occurrence). thanks! -- Sarefo ( talk) 21:57, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thankyou for moving St Mary's church, North Leigh to St Mary's Church, North Leigh while preserving its editing history. I'm sorry to trouble you when you already do so much, but how can I do that? I need to move Clapton Crabbe Rolfe to Clapton Crabb Rolfe. The historian Sir Nikolaus Pevsner seems to have mistakenly added the "e" to Rolfe's middle name, and when I created Rolfe's article I copied Pevsner before realising that every other authority, including C.C. Rolfe's father, spells "Crabb" without a final "e". Motacilla ( talk) 15:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Thankyou for moving Clapton Crabb Rolfe to his rightful place. I've amended all spellings of his middle name to "Crabb", both in his article and in articles that link to it. Motacilla ( talk) 22:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

They seem to have used the Theatre spelling in those days pretty consistently and it seems to be a tradition that is continuing for the old tyme theatres. I never understood the advantage of double hooks, but I changed the Blue Mouse article to be about all the theatres that went by that name so it should be no problem to make it long enough. What else is cooking? :) Now I'm up to my eyeballs in other obscure American architects. Lee Arden Thomas is getting interesting and he worked in Bend with Hugh Thompson (architect) . But their projects that are on the NRHP don't have articles or photos yet. So the matrix is pretty weak at this point. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated. Party on.

I imagine this won't be the last time that part of the blurb is altered. We can't ever agree on how to properly present U.S. cities on the Main Page. -- tariqabjotu 06:00, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
I think it's useful to mention the cities the flight was flying between, but I'd be okay with saying "between the Netherlands and the United States". I imagine someone may add USA to the Detroit, Michigan, description, or replace Michigan with USA, but we could be here all day debating that (although to be honest, I think Detroit could have even gotten the point across too).

I intend to promote a fact from it to DYK. So I request you to have a look at the article and let me know whether it is eligible enough to nominate and if yes how I should go ahead.

Thanks for nominating the article. I had thought of it, but other things intervened, and I hadn't seen the source at first hand. Nevertheless the title speaks for itself, and it checked out on amazon.fr. Acroterion (talk) 18:13, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure when you'll get this, perhaps someone else would have already fixed the item. But if not, while I agree the wording was confusing for the Cadbury item was confusing, your change reintroduced a problem someone had already pointed out in WP:Main Page/Errors and someone had modified the wording in an attempt to improve. I've proposed a new wording in the Errors pages, feel free to use your own but your current wording is IMHO definitely equally misleading Nil Einne ( talk) 20:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Why do you need a Kent State hook if you have the 5 Potuses (and the Cleveland-Cleveland thing happening)? Eisenmann seems also to have designed the Ohio state flag? I didn't see anything in the article about building codes... but it does need expansion. Maybe when you're done with the Hollenden you can get to work on that biography? I've been working on a couple of other architects, one who designed some interesting buildings including Building 26 where the Bombe was developed and a house for the Wright Brothers. So much to cover! I supposed there's something be said for finishing one article before moving on, but I can't believe these interesting people arent' even mentioned in stubs. Go Dallas!

I imagine this won't be the last time that part of the blurb is altered. We can't ever agree on how to properly present U.S. cities on the Main Page. -- tariqabjotu 06:00, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
I think it's useful to mention the cities the flight was flying between, but I'd be okay with saying "between the Netherlands and the United States". I imagine someone may add USA to the Detroit, Michigan, description, or replace Michigan with USA, but we could be here all day debating that (although to be honest, I think Detroit could have even gotten the point across too).

I’ve recently created an article on Rukhsana Kausar, who single handedly killed one LeT militant, injured one and made the other run for his life, when they berged into her house. I intend to promote a fact from it to DYK. So I request you to have a look at the article and let me know whether it is eligible enough to nominate and if yes how I should go ahead.

The 500 DYK Nomination Medal | |
On behalf of the Did you know? project and the many article creators you have introduced to the Main page, I congratulate you on far surpassing the milestone of 500 DYK nominations. As well, you are the first editor to achieve this goal! Binksternet ( talk) 16:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC) |
Whoa, Binksternet, thank you so much for the pleasant surprise. I'm the first one with the 500-medal? Cool. Thank you very, very much. I hope I can get the 1000-medal soon. :-) Happy editing. Cheers! -- PFHLai ( talk) 03:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
Wow. Congratulations and thanks again for your help. Much appreciated. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 16:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
500!!!! Congratulations! I am really impressed. I just dropped by to thank you for changing my hook for the Barnsley fern on the DYK page, but now I am here I can see you really have a talent for this and are something of an expert. Your hook is definitely better than mine was. DSP-user ( talk) 20:09, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello,
Would you please have a look at my article Jayanta Lahon? I self-nominated it for DYK on last 10th Jan and it is verified. The article has also been rated as 'Start" class on quality scale. But it has been nominated for deletion on yesterday. XETELI (HELLO) 02:46, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

PFH, would you mind if I asked you to quit adding noms to the DYK Suggestions page for a while? We have a ridiculous backlog, and we just don't need any extra noms right now. Gatoclass ( talk) 08:44, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for nominating the article. I had thought of it, but other things intervened, and I hadn't seen the source at first hand. Nevertheless the title speaks for itself, and it checked out on amazon.fr. Acroterion (talk) 18:13, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure when you'll get this, perhaps someone else would have already fixed the item. But if not, while I agree the wording was confusing for the Cadbury item was confusing, your change reintroduced a problem someone had already pointed out in WP:Main Page/Errors and someone had modified the wording in an attempt to improve. I've proposed a new wording in the Errors pages, feel free to use your own but your current wording is IMHO definitely equally misleading Nil Einne ( talk) 20:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey PFHLai, if you're interested I'd be happy to have help doing some DYK noms. For example James Keys Wilson and George F. Hammond. If you like doing noms I have more. :) Cheers. Have fun regardless. No worries if you'renot interested. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 00:16, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Why do you need a Kent State hook if you have the 5 Potuses (and the Cleveland-Cleveland thing happening)? Eisenmann seems also to have designed the Ohio state flag? I didn't see anything in the article about building codes... but it does need expansion. Maybe when you're done with the Hollenden you can get to work on that biography? I've been working on a couple of other architects, one who designed some interesting buildings including Building 26 where the Bombe was developed and a house for the Wright Brothers. So much to cover! I supposed there's something be said for finishing one article before moving on, but I can't believe these interesting people arent' even mentioned in stubs. Go Dallas!

Hello, I want to thank you for nominating my 3 articles and also for the work you have done adding a second source to two of them.

Hello! Your submission of
Marshall's Hotel 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! . Not a problem per se, but the DYK hook that you proposed for
Marshall's Hotel could be better IMHO. Glad you're bringing attention to this nice new article, anyhow. :) --
