I'm just about to send " Pot o' Gold" into the GAN maw, and thought I should let you know it's available for a Big Gulp or the aural equivalent if you want it. It's the last third season episode that's not yet officially Good, so if it passes we'll be up to date on the season until next Tuesday. :-) BlueMoonset ( talk) 03:01, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

I haven't yet been able to come up with something hookily non-pedestrian for " Michael (Glee)", so I'm hoping your fertile imagination will get me pointed in the right direction. :-) I still have a couple of days before it has to be submitted. I don't want to do another one just about song covers, or even how many of them are in the episode, if I can avoid it, and somehow doing "Bad" in a parking structure sounds kinda boring, though "rival glee clubs battle it out over "Bad" in a parking garage" might have the germ of a possibility.

It's that time of the month again, when Friday the 13th falls on a Monday, and a recent Glee episode is submitted to the GAN queue, which has just been done with "Michael". I'm hoping that after a Glee-less week you'll be interested in giving this one a look-see. I even remembered to include images this time! Hope you see this tonight, though you may not return until tomorrow.
I should probably also mention that the " On My Way" article was initiated on Saturday the 11th, which gives me a few days yet to come up with a DYK. At the moment, information is sparse about the plot and other details, so I'm hoping that after the Valentine's episode broadcasts on Tuesday, there will be more details bruited about and one of them will prove the ideal hook.

I expect you're rather busy these days, given your decreased activity hereabouts, but I'm hoping you're nevertheless interested in picking up the final pair of season three episodes from the GAN pile: " The Spanish Teacher" and " On My Way". This will be it until new episodes are broadcast starting April 10, so I expect it'll be close to two months before another season three episode starts rumbling down the tracks. Just so you know, if they pass, these will be the 74th and 75th Glee GAs.
This is not to say that there won't be any episode GANs at all in the interim: Frickative and I are working on " Sexy", which is the only episode from season two that hasn't yet been made into a GA. There's still some work to be done on the Critical reception and Production sections, plus a general copy edit of the whole shebang, so I doubt it will be a GAN candidate before the end of the weekend, if not even later in the month.
I hope all is well, and look forward to seeing your presence online soon. There's always a chance that someone will get to these GANs before you do; on the other hand, they are numbers 46 and 47 on the Episodes list, and not one of the 47 are under review at the present time.

" Saturday Night Glee-ver" could use a DYK, but I'm in the throes of packing, and will be away for the rest of its eligibility: it was changed from redirect to article on April 7, which gives another almost two days to come up with something.
I also won't be around when " Dance with Somebody" gets turned into an article, and I might or might not be back in time for the following episode (as yet unnamed), so if you want to keep your eye out for that, it might help.

I'll let you know when the QPQ is done, so you can return and reassert the tick, as it would be extremely bad form for me to do so. ;-)
I was actually kind of surprised you didn't see any issues or improvements on any of the DYK hooks I've been putting up lately. I was expecting a little something on the Lindsay Lohan one, at least (more than the Gloria Estefan one, which I thought worked pretty well).
Plus, frankly, I'm just as happy to space out the two nominations a bit. Two or three days would be a nice break between them, since they're the last hooks we'll see until late summer, unless a new character page is created. (Kind of doubtful; I don't think any of the other new characters rise to that level.) Though, now that I think on it, the Graduation Album soundtrack is a mere stub right now, with so little prose that it needs to reach 1500 to be eligible, since 5x would be under 900 characters. That might well be doable, once it's been released and has a review or two out there. Hmm...
BTW, I just did the groundwork for the remainder of the "Big Brother" article: I have the material from the various individual reviews, and now I have to synthesize them. I'm hoping for introductory Critical reception and Music paragraphs tomorrow, enough to get the article from Start to C class. With luck, I can send two or three episode articles your way before your next semester begins and the third season ends.
Have you been keeping up with the show? I'm looking forward to Tuesday's prom episode; I wasn't so fond of "Choke", since while I liked many of the individual pieces, it didn't work so well as a narrative whole. BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:57, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

As soon as I post this, I'll be saving the GAN for this one. Unfortunately, I think it's the only one I'm going to get done before your next school term begins on Monday, and I'm only barely getting it in under the wire.
If you want it, you should probably hurry—I'm actually not sure how long this is going to sit there. It'll be in the Episodes section under Theatre, film and drama. Gen. Quon seems to grab them quickly these days. (He has submitted about three dozen of the forty-odd episode articles in the list.)
I may try to get both "Props" and "Nationals" done quickly; they've come together with reasonable dispatch so far, and the combined reviews for the evening should make gathering data a swifter proposition than usual. Still, you'll be back in classes by then. Should I let you know about them, or better not? BlueMoonset ( talk) 05:56, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea whether it will still be there when you look—the list is short and there are new reviewers since last we did this, plus you're not on as often these days—but I'm just about to submit my first GAN in ages: not quite two months, but close enough. I hope you're able to snag it.
It's the one remaining episode from the second season: " Sexy". Someone else had written it up originally, and then Frickative and I were going to work on revising it together—I was going to take music, she was going to take critical reception, and we were going to share Production. Then she moved, and never came back to Wikipedia, though she's been spotted elsewhere. And, finally, having stalled on the critical reception section of " Goodbye", I've finished off the upgrades to the one for "Sexy" instead, and spruced up other places in the article tonight, so here it is. I hope I haven't forgotten how to do this. ;-) BlueMoonset ( talk) 05:49, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

It's that time of the month again, when Friday the 13th falls on a Monday, and a recent Glee episode is submitted to the GAN queue, which has just been done with "Michael". I'm hoping that after a Glee-less week you'll be interested in giving this one a look-see. I even remembered to include images this time! Hope you see this tonight, though you may not return until tomorrow.
I should probably also mention that the " On My Way" article was initiated on Saturday the 11th, which gives me a few days yet to come up with a DYK. At the moment, information is sparse about the plot and other details, so I'm hoping that after the Valentine's episode broadcasts on Tuesday, there will be more details bruited about and one of them will prove the ideal hook.

Thank you for reviewing my fish articles for DYK.
I know you like cute fish, and you will find one here, living as it does in an empty barnacle shell. I wrote an article about this blenny but did not include it with the others because this fish did not originate in the Indo-Pacific, but instead, travelled from South America to the Gulf of Mexico by oilrig!

I expect you're rather busy these days, given your decreased activity hereabouts, but I'm hoping you're nevertheless interested in picking up the final pair of season three episodes from the GAN pile: " The Spanish Teacher" and " On My Way". This will be it until new episodes are broadcast starting April 10, so I expect it'll be close to two months before another season three episode starts rumbling down the tracks. Just so you know, if they pass, these will be the 74th and 75th Glee GAs.
This is not to say that there won't be any episode GANs at all in the interim: Frickative and I are working on " Sexy", which is the only episode from season two that hasn't yet been made into a GA. There's still some work to be done on the Critical reception and Production sections, plus a general copy edit of the whole shebang, so I doubt it will be a GAN candidate before the end of the weekend, if not even later in the month.
I hope all is well, and look forward to seeing your presence online soon. There's always a chance that someone will get to these GANs before you do; on the other hand, they are numbers 46 and 47 on the Episodes list, and not one of the 47 are under review at the present time.

Hi, Robert. This is completely unrelated to Glee, but I recently completed an article for GAN Pamela Barnes Ewing. I know there's a 2-3 month backlog and was hoping you could review it should you ever gt the time. I think it's in pretty good shape quality wise. It would be really appreciative because nobody would be willing to take on a Dallas article over there. HorrorFan121 ( talk) 01:50, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Oddly, it looks like this one, for " Big Brother (Glee)", probably won't appear before the episode airs on Tuesday, but it would be nice if it did. If you have the time—and I expect you're still quite busy—I'd appreciate your sapient eye on the hooks I've proposed, since it's usually my weakest point. (Not a lot to work from this time; they've concentrated on the Matt Bomer side of things to exclusion of almost everything else. A lot about the entire final eight-episode run is being kept under wraps, plotwise.) BlueMoonset ( talk) 15:15, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
" Saturday Night Glee-ver" could use a DYK, but I'm in the throes of packing, and will be away for the rest of its eligibility: it was changed from redirect to article on April 7, which gives another almost two days to come up with something.
I also won't be around when " Dance with Somebody" gets turned into an article, and I might or might not be back in time for the following episode (as yet unnamed), so if you want to keep your eye out for that, it might help. Thanks! Hope all is well, and classes are getting a bit less hectic. BlueMoonset ( talk) 01:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Robert, I hated to do it, but while I'm glad you had no problems with the hook, I had to contradict your tick on the Template:Did you know nominations/Goodbye (Glee) DYK nomination. I still owe a QPQ, and am enough of a rules stickler that I put up the question mark to keep it from being picked up prematurely. I'll let you know when the QPQ is done, so you can return and reassert the tick, as it would be extremely bad form for me to do so. ;-)
I was actually kind of surprised you didn't see any issues or improvements on any of the DYK hooks I've been putting up lately. I was expecting a little something on the Lindsay Lohan one, at least (more than the Gloria Estefan one, which I thought worked pretty well).
Plus, frankly, I'm just as happy to space out the two nominations a bit. Two or three days would be a nice break between them, since they're the last hooks we'll see until late summer, unless a new character page is created. (Kind of doubtful; I don't think any of the other new characters rise to that level.) Though, now that I think on it, the Graduation Album soundtrack is a mere stub right now, with so little prose that it needs to reach 1500 to be eligible, since 5x would be under 900 characters. That might well be doable, once it's been released and has a review or two out there. Hmm...
BTW, I just did the groundwork for the remainder of the "Big Brother" article: I have the material from the various individual reviews, and now I have to synthesize them. I'm hoping for introductory Critical reception and Music paragraphs tomorrow, enough to get the article from Start to C class. With luck, I can send two or three episode articles your way before your next semester begins and the third season ends.
Have you been keeping up with the show? I'm looking forward to Tuesday's prom episode; I wasn't so fond of "Choke", since while I liked many of the individual pieces, it didn't work so well as a narrative whole. BlueMoonset ( talk) 04:57, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

As soon as I post this, I'll be saving the GAN for this one. Unfortunately, I think it's the only one I'm going to get done before your next school term begins on Monday, and I'm only barely getting it in under the wire.
If you want it, you should probably hurry—I'm actually not sure how long this is going to sit there. It'll be in the Episodes section under Theatre, film and drama. Gen. Quon seems to grab them quickly these days. (He has submitted about three dozen of the forty-odd episode articles in the list.)
I may try to get both "Props" and "Nationals" done quickly; they've come together with reasonable dispatch so far, and the combined reviews for the evening should make gathering data a swifter proposition than usual. Still, you'll be back in classes by then. Should I let you know about them, or better not? BlueMoonset ( talk) 05:56, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I have no idea whether it will still be there when you look—the list is short and there are new reviewers since last we did this, plus you're not on as often these days—but I'm just about to submit my first GAN in ages: not quite two months, but close enough. I hope you're able to snag it.
It's the one remaining episode from the second season: " Sexy". Someone else had written it up originally, and then Frickative and I were going to work on revising it together—I was going to take music, she was going to take critical reception, and we were going to share Production. Then she moved, and never came back to Wikipedia, though she's been spotted elsewhere. And, finally, having stalled on the critical reception section of " Goodbye", I've finished off the upgrades to the one for "Sexy" instead, and spruced up other places in the article tonight, so here it is. I hope I haven't forgotten how to do this. ;-) BlueMoonset ( talk) 05:49, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
