Thanks for an incredibly thorough, quick and helpful review! It was a pleasure working with you; this is what Wikipedia should be like. Vanamonde93 ( talk) 16:21, 11 April 2015 (UTC) |
I current have on an ongoing FAC and most of the sources in Spanish. I was wondering if you have the time to spot check the references. Thanks! Erick ( talk) 18:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
I want to thank you for taking the time for doing the spot check for Romance, I greatly appreciate it! Erick ( talk) 14:17, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Simon. this is to let you know the GA Review for " Conquista de Guatemala" has started on the Spanish Wikipedia. However, since I don't have easy access to many of the works cited in the article, I hope I may count on your help in filling in most of the additional references that have been requested. As noted by the reviewer, many of these references are probably identical to those of nearby sentences. I took the liberty of listing the first batch of 9 sentences here (scroll box), and included probable references as suggestions at the end of each sentence. More batches may follow as the revision advances through the next sections.
Not sure if this is the best way to proceed, or if you prefer to add the references yourself. Please let me know. Best regards. -- Arjuno ( talk 16:06, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
On 15 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ancient Maya graffiti, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that most ancient Maya graffiti (example pictured) was probably produced by the Maya elite in their own dwellings, with some later additions by squatters? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ancient Maya graffiti. 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. |

On 25 April 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Huastec civilization, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that although the Huastec civilization (figure pictured) was an offshoot of the Maya, it is not considered a part of the Maya civilization? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Huastec civilization. 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.
