Hi Ritchie333, it's great to hear from you! I do like to work on Yes/Genesis articles but my writing is never up to GA quality. First off, thank you for working on The Yes Album. I was amazed someone took it from the mess that it was to GA in such little time! You have a good, unique way of developing articles which I like. Nice development on Trick, and please feel free to work on Wind & Wuthering as like I said, my writing is not as succinct. Duke pains me as I had such a big edit going, with lots of references from the 2007 reissue interviews, only to have the whole thing swiped by power outage. This has happened to me far too many times. I guess little by little edits are the way forward for me now! I do have Bowler and Dray as well as the Genesis 2007 book, but I use articles from The Genesis Archive. LowSelfEstidle ( talk) 14:45, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333,
I have just started to editing wikipedia and create two articles Punya Prasun Bajpai and Ashish Kasyap. I was also trying to create page of Draft:Lip Ink International. My intention was only to get to know that why this page is not approving when i have added lots of references. I was doing that just because to learn but not to earn. I have also submitted a page for Wisdom Jobs and added best reliable resources however it was rejected.I asked to the writer that why this page has been rejected when i am have added best notable references but there was no reply from the editor. See the page Naukri.com. This page is referred by poor notable websites however this article is approved. I am only curious to know about how WikiPedia works and nothing else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abhyud ( talk • contribs) 15:18, 13 April 2015

Hey Ritchie, just a quick barnstar to say thanks for the many, many reviews of Boat Race articles you've conducted over the past year. As of this morning, I completed my (initial) goal of ensuing that every Boat Race had, not only its own article, but one that was either of GA or FA status: we now have 158 GAs and 3 FAs that we can all be proud of! It doesn't stop here, for me at least, I'm going to keep up with improving the quality of the GAs and look for more FA opportunities. Plus, there's the small matter of 70 Women's Boat Race articles to get up and running! But thanks again, I couldn't have done it without your help.

I know this note is likely to get lost - in between the congratulations for Editor of the Week and the party that is likely to erupt in a mop-awarding thread within the next few hours. But the article Lamont Johnson (jazz bassist) really needs your help. I rescued it from G3 (I don't know what that nominator was thinking, the subject is obviously not a hoax) and added a little context. But making it into a proper article will require a musician's touch which I don't have. Can you find a little time for rescue work? -- MelanieN ( talk) 17:27, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

I see that you are a software engineer per your user page (as am I). I was looking at the article that we have here on the topic Software engineer and it is pretty lack luster. Perhaps we could put our heads together and build a featured article (something I have always wanted to do). No rush, just something we could throw together in a user draft page and when it is ready, move it to the mainspace. Thoughts? Chris lk02 Chris Kreider 15:34, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Gotcha, I agree, it is not a trivial task. In the big picture, I think the state of many of the Computer Science related articles on Wikipedia are pretty lack luster. I have a handful of journal articles on the subject, a pile of textbooks, and some other stuff I will scrounge around for and will probably create a workspace in my userspace to work on it.

I know this note is likely to get lost - in between the congratulations for Editor of the Week and the party that is likely to erupt in a mop-awarding thread within the next few hours. But the article Lamont Johnson (jazz bassist) really needs your help. I rescued it from G3 (I don't know what that nominator was thinking, the subject is obviously not a hoax) and added a little context. But making it into a proper article will require a musician's touch which I don't have. Can you find a little time for rescue work? -- MelanieN ( talk) 17:27, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

You say A7 doesn't apply to print media [1]. Where did you get that? How/why are print media special? A7 only calls out education institutions as special cases. The Dissident Aggressor 21:49, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi, a lot of people are pointing out errors in how you reviewed my bacon sandwich hook. We all make mistakes and sometimes we jump too quickly when something looks interesting and exciting. You're a good editor '''tAD''' ( talk) 02:28, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
![]() | On 22 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article In the Land of Grey and Pink, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the title of Caravan's In the Land of Grey and Pink comes from Richard Sinclair looking at the grey and pink sky during sunset in Kent? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/In the Land of Grey and Pink. 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. 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. |

So you're now saying that because a company worked with a notable product, they're asserting importance. Every beer distributor and bar on the planet is now ineligible for A7 with that false logic. The Dissident Aggressor 12:52, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
The article
A Trick of the Tail you nominated as a
good article has passed
; see
Talk:A Trick of the Tail for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can
nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by

Linking to a shop site is probably not the best way to provide WP:RS. Pretty much every product on the planet has an e-commerce site that says something about it, but they're not encouraged as references. The Dissident Aggressor 15:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
I see that you are a software engineer per your user page (as am I). I was looking at the article that we have here on the topic Software engineer and it is pretty lack luster. Perhaps we could put our heads together and build a featured article (something I have always wanted to do). No rush, just something we could throw together in a user draft page and when it is ready, move it to the mainspace. Thoughts? Chris lk02 Chris Kreider 15:34, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Gotcha, I agree, it is not a trivial task. In the big picture, I think the state of many of the Computer Science related articles on Wikipedia are pretty lack luster. I have a handful of journal articles on the subject, a pile of textbooks, and some other stuff I will scrounge around for and will probably create a workspace in my userspace to work on it. Thanks for the feedback/thoughts on the subject. Chris lk02 Chris Kreider 16:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
im new to this, can you explain to me how publishing works on wikipedia and what categories can or cannot be published — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keypublicindex ( talk • contribs) 15:45, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Just spotted this in passing (I do something similar myself) and thought you might not be aware of the jolly useful Admin dashboard - all your tasks in one convenient place. Yunshui 雲 水 19:33, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
