Dear Ryan,
I hope you are keeping well, and that you enjoyed your (partial) wiki-break.
Whenever you might have a few spare minutes, I would be most grateful if you would be so kind as to review the
subject draft and to point out areas needing improvements. I am particularly interested in your views concerning my use of flat lists and collapsible tables, which I thought proved appropriately useful in this case, but might be too outlandish for a GA-level quality article, which is the standard I aim to achieve.
Thank you very much for your considered comments, Ryan, which are always helpful and wise.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ

The Challenge Series is a current drive on English Wikipedia to encourage article improvements and creations globally through a series of 50,000/10,000/1000 Challenges for different regions, countries and topics. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are invited to participate.
On 21 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Quanta Live, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Gilberto Gil said his Grammy Award for Quanta Live was particularly meaningful because the album is a summary of his three decades in music? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Quanta Live. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Quanta Live), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for uploading File:70news fake news headline.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 03:22, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your post at WP:VPP#RfC2 on Miss America and Miss USA entrants.
At this time, it is the only reply I have received to my request for comment, and the RfC has been closed. The answer to your first question is still visible in the rationale at WP:VPP#RfC on Miss America and Miss USA entrants, i.e.,
Associated state-level pageants are notable: All of these entrants are winners of notable state-level pageants, see Category:Miss USA state pageants and Category:Miss America state pageants.
As for your second question, I have been trained for both personal and business communication to limit the use of questions, nor is there any requirement for an RfC to be presented as a question, nor do I see that a question improves the RfC. Reading your response as meaning that you "don't support" the statement as a "ground for action" can you further explain your viewpoint? What is it that you don't support? Thank you, Unscintillating ( talk) 20:21, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
If we can agree that our readers want reliably sourced information, as available, about these specific pageant entrants, and that merger of non-notable pageant entrants to suitable targets is accepted policy; what more do you want to know about what this means? Is this not then a normal content issue?
I've created a draft for a new RfC at my sandbox, [1]. Your comments would be appreciated. Unscintillating ( talk) 03:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
Another point that occurs to me in response to your post is that there are no examples of a merged bio in the RfC. The only one that comes quickly to mind is Thomas Mantell. Unscintillating ( talk) 19:05, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
On 28 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The J's with Jamie, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Time magazine said The J's with Jamie "have probably been heard by more people more times than any other group in the history of sound. Yet next to nobody knows who they are"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The J's with Jamie. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, The J's with Jamie), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I was interested to see that the group released a record Hey, Look us Over!, and together with its 1963 date and the fact that they did political ads sometimes, I'm now really curious. Do we know if they ever did work with the Chicago firm of Bob Long Associates? See [2]; Indiana legislator Birch Bayh reached the U.S. Senate in 1963 with a Long-created campaign advertisement featuring a modified version of "Hey, Look Me Over".

Thank you for your post at WP:VPP#RfC2 on Miss America and Miss USA entrants.
At this time, it is the only reply I have received to my request for comment, and the RfC has been closed. The answer to your first question is still visible in the rationale at WP:VPP#RfC on Miss America and Miss USA entrants, i.e.,
Associated state-level pageants are notable: All of these entrants are winners of notable state-level pageants, see Category:Miss USA state pageants and Category:Miss America state pageants.
As for your second question, I have been trained for both personal and business communication to limit the use of questions, nor is there any requirement for an RfC to be presented as a question, nor do I see that a question improves the RfC. Reading your response as meaning that you "don't support" the statement as a "ground for action" can you further explain your viewpoint? What is it that you don't support? Thank you, Unscintillating ( talk) 20:21, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
If we can agree that our readers want reliably sourced information, as available, about these specific pageant entrants, and that merger of non-notable pageant entrants to suitable targets is accepted policy; what more do you want to know about what this means? Is this not then a normal content issue?
I've created a draft for a new RfC at my sandbox, [1]. Your comments would be appreciated. Unscintillating ( talk) 03:48, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
Another point that occurs to me in response to your post is that there are no examples of a merged bio in the RfC. The only one that comes quickly to mind is Thomas Mantell. Unscintillating ( talk) 19:05, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
On 28 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The J's with Jamie, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Time magazine said The J's with Jamie "have probably been heard by more people more times than any other group in the history of sound. Yet next to nobody knows who they are"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The J's with Jamie. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, The J's with Jamie), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I was interested to see that the group released a record Hey, Look us Over!, and together with its 1963 date and the fact that they did political ads sometimes, I'm now really curious. Do we know if they ever did work with the Chicago firm of Bob Long Associates? See [2]; Indiana legislator Birch Bayh reached the U.S. Senate in 1963 with a Long-created campaign advertisement featuring a modified version of "Hey, Look Me Over".
