Hi Ritchie, I hope you're well. I'm wondering if you could spare the time to have a quick look at the long Background section in Wah-Wah (song). I took the article to GA two years ago or more, and as with quite a few from back then, it's one I'd earmarked for a revisit, having learnt plenty during GARs since then. Your initial thoughts on the Background in Awaiting on You All – something like, "Okay, but what's all this got to do with the song?", along with the suggestion that maybe an article on the artist's religious beliefs was needed – have been running through my head … With Wah-Wah, I'm thinking of taking much of the text from the first section to create a topical article, perhaps titled George Harrison's temporary departure from the Beatles. His walking out from the Get Back/Twickenham rehearsals was noted in The Daily Sketch and The Daily Express at the time, it had obvious effect on the Beatles' immediate plans, was a significant issue during the High Court hearing in January–February 1971; then there's McCartney's take on the episode, and the contrasting approaches between Mac and Hari when it came to letting fellow musicians interpret their songs (or not). So, there's a fair bit to add to such an article. Your thoughts would be much appreciated, Ritch. I'm confident that it would be a useful standalone article but on the other hand, I've also seen some objections (and I share them) to indulgent, "fancruft"-y pieces on the Beatles – the level of detail afforded parents, aunties etc of Paul McCartney and John Lennon, for instance … JG66 ( talk) 02:46, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333
Last October you were kind enough to respond to the GA review of James Balfour (died 1845), at Talk:James_Balfour_(died_1845)/GA1#GA_Review. You noted that you felt the review to have been unfair, and were kind enough to also leave a message about this on my talk page.
I have been away from en.wp or the last 6 months, and have only just caught up with this review. I have responded in detail to the review, at Talk:James Balfour (died 1845)/GA1#Reply_to_review, and have left a note for the reviewer ( Jonas Vinther) at their talk page ( User talk:Jonas Vinther#Your_GA_review_of_James_Balfour_.28died_1845.29).
However, I see that JV has marked their talk page as "semi-retired". I am not sure where this goes from here. Please can you advise me? -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 12:46, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Richie333,
Many thanks for your swift response to the article/page that I created reference: Mark McAllister, Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC.
Thank you also for adding 2 newspaper sources.
As I now understand (and apologies in advance for the question but this is my first experience of creating a page), the page has "Passed the Submission" and is now just awaiting final analysis on a BLP before being published officially on wikipedia? Is that a correct synopsis or do I need to do anything further?
You will notice that I have made a couple of "minor" amendments to the article earlier today to correct my grammar and spelling. Hopefully it looks better now.
Do indeed let me know if you require me to add or input anything else.
Thanks again Richie for your initial update, quick reply and helpful tips - much appreciated!
Regards,
John Cuthbert

Again, thank you very much for your swift response!
I am delighted that the page/article has passed your criteria and is now Live.
When, approximately, will I and others be able to view the page on the official Wikipedia website please? Does it take days or weeks? An approximate time-scale would be most helpful thank you.
I will, of course, take a look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football site that you recommended - thanks for that!
Once again, many thanks for all of your help and assistance during this process Richie and I look forward to viewing the page officially in the near future!
Thanking you!

I've been adding their singles chart performance in France to the page. Shall I add in singles that were released in France and charted, but apparently did not chart elsewhere (there may be cases where I do not know if they were released in other countries)? Most of these seem to be off of Quadrophenia. - Bossanoven ( talk) 20:30, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
The 1996 CD reissue credits state: "Original Recording Produced by THE WHO." So does the infobox on the page. The production credits for the original release are not mentioned in the personnel section as you currently have it. - Bossanoven ( talk) 06:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding. Thanks for the suggestion as well. I do have The Who Sell Out at hand. However, I might be checking a few other music-related things before I start on another project. Might get around to that one, though. - Bossanoven ( talk) 22:32, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Richie I just completed my first review of for a GA article. I would like you to look at the page and see if I did it properly so far before I let it pass. Only thing that at the moment I am thinking of adding is some FA recommendations. Thanks in advance for your opinion. NathanWubs ( talk) 23:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks once again for handling the GA review of Thunderbirds (TV series) at the end of last year. I realise that this is a very broad question, but do you have any ideas as to what should or could be done to get the article from GA to FA standard? I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions, as unfortunately the TV WikiProject lacks a centralised A-Class review process.
I wouldn't say that the article has much room for expansion; it's more or less complete (and if anything, should probably be shortened). Super Mario Man ( talk ) 00:07, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
As long as you see typos, it's probably me! But I tend to get impatient at promotionalism, and sometimes do go overboard and judge more by intent than I ought to do. It's one of the dangers of doing too much NPP. I rely on others to correct me--such as you, and I never use G11 single handed.

template - the bug was in the notifications system. Judging by
phab:T78424, the problem was in how it was identifying signatures. --

Hi Richie333,
Many thanks for your swift response to the article/page that I created reference: Mark McAllister, Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC.
Thank you also for adding 2 newspaper sources.
As I now understand (and apologies in advance for the question but this is my first experience of creating a page), the page has "Passed the Submission" and is now just awaiting final analysis on a BLP before being published officially on wikipedia? Is that a correct synopsis or do I need to do anything further?
You will notice that I have made a couple of "minor" amendments to the article earlier today to correct my grammar and spelling. Hopefully it looks better now.
Do indeed let me know if you require me to add or input anything else.
Thanks again Richie for your initial update, quick reply and helpful tips - much appreciated!
Regards,
John Cuthbert

will do (assuming that the fact you want to cite is in that book on that page, of course!)Hello again Richie333,
Again, thank you very much for your swift response!
I am delighted that the page/article has passed your criteria and is now Live.
When, approximately, will I and others be able to view the page on the official Wikipedia website please? Does it take days or weeks? An approximate time-scale would be most helpful thank you.
I will, of course, take a look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football site that you recommended - thanks for that!
Once again, many thanks for all of your help and assistance during this process Richie and I look forward to viewing the page officially in the near future!
Thanking you!
Regards,
Mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Cuthbert 221 ( talk • contribs) 17:53, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Last and final question (hopefully).
What is the most effective way to upload a photograph of Mark McAllister from his plying days on to Wikipedia to compliment the page/article?
Thanks again Richie.

I've been adding their singles chart performance in France to the page. Shall I add in singles that were released in France and charted, but apparently did not chart elsewhere (there may be cases where I do not know if they were released in other countries)? Most of these seem to be off of Quadrophenia. - Bossanoven ( talk) 20:30, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
The 1996 CD reissue credits state: "Original Recording Produced by THE WHO." So does the infobox on the page. The production credits for the original release are not mentioned in the personnel section as you currently have it. - Bossanoven ( talk) 06:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for understanding. Thanks for the suggestion as well. I do have The Who Sell Out at hand. However, I might be checking a few other music-related things before I start on another project. Might get around to that one, though. - Bossanoven ( talk) 22:32, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
![]() | On 14 February 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dublin Castle, Camden, which you recently created or substantially expanded.

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Hello, Richie I just completed my first review of for a GA article. I would like you to look at the page and see if I did it properly so far before I let it pass. Only thing that at the moment I am thinking of adding is some FA recommendations. Thanks in advance for your opinion. NathanWubs ( talk) 23:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello. Thanks once again for handling the GA review of Thunderbirds (TV series) at the end of last year. I realise that this is a very broad question, but do you have any ideas as to what should or could be done to get the article from GA to FA standard? I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions, as unfortunately the TV WikiProject lacks a centralised A-Class review process.
I wouldn't say that the article has much room for expansion; it's more or less complete (and if anything, should probably be shortened). Super Mario Man ( talk ) 00:07, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
As long as you see typos, it's probably me! But I tend to get impatient at promotionalism, and sometimes do go overboard and judge more by intent than I ought to do. It's one of the dangers of doing too much NPP. I rely on others to correct me--such as you, and I never use G11 single handed.

While you're in the rescuing mood, have a look at Snita and the associated AfD. I'm having great trouble getting through to the author. (So far, I've managed not to block them for tag removal, but I don't think I can prevent it if another admin gets involved.) Peridon ( talk) 12:01, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Whoa, Ika was one for the record books - 6051 views! Any DYK over 5000 goes into the statistics. This was my most-viewed DYK ever (would you believe my previous record was for Dial (soap)?). All that tweaking of the hook paid off and that was a real team effort - thanks, User:Drmies! -- MelanieN ( talk) 04:08, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Korg CX-3, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Drawbar. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
