Hi Bilorv. Thanks for reviewing my Evans Quinn article. You've placed a POV tag on the page but not noted on the talk page what the dispute is. Could you please elaborate (here, there, my talk page, wherever!) and I'll try and address the problem. Regards danno_ uk 21:20, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Your plot synopses are generally good, but you're linking too many words unnecessarily. For example, common English words don't need to linked. Cat, dog, boat, food: we all know what these words mean. Existentialism, iconoclasm, dichotomy, superconductor: these are rather rare or complex words that might need to be linked. It's not a big deal, but a large number of linked words can distract readers and leave them confused as to what the key concepts are. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 00:05, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

On 1 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Convention Conundrum, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that James Earl Jones and Carrie Fisher appeared in The Big Bang Theory episode " The Convention Conundrum"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Convention Conundrum. 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.

Thanks for your edit at List of The Big Bang Theory characters. I fear we have a fan trying to insert herself into the article.

Her surname is "McConnell" an Irish surname, so therefore the character is of Irish descent. many fictional characters with Irish names are placed in the category:Fictional American people of Irish descent, sometimes just based on the names, it doesn't have to be referenced on the show, but the Aldrin character is in the category:Fictional American people of Swedish descent so go tell the person who put them in the category off, instead of me, I'm only helping people understand the portrayals of fictional Irish Americans in television. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.202.12.58 ( talk) 15:05, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi I saw your post about the QI article needing improvement, I certainly agree much improvement is needed. Some of the sections such as Buzzers would be hard to reference unless we referenced it to the show itself of course I would not recommend this as its not easy to check this form of referencing.

The Running Man Barnstar | ||
Hey Bilorv, just a quick barnstar to say thanks for the review of one of Boat Race articles you 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.

Hi Bilorv. At Wikipedia discussions, it's not a question of teams, or winning or losing - Wiipedia is not a ball park and editing is not a game. On meta discussions such as AfD it's a question of knowing your policies and guidelines, interpreting them as accurately as possible and then making comments backed up by them. Most of us admins are very good at upholding Wikipedia policies - a few, just a few, may be wonky or vague, but we do our best even if we don't really like them. Like a traffic cop who doesn't really see any sense in the blanket 50 mph speed limit on long straight oopen roads but has to hand out tickets for speeding ;) Happy editing! -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 10:06, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

What's going on with all these changes to the GA topic names? And why do the old names no longer work? (the template used to automatically find them.) The change at Foster's reactance theorem is what brought this to my attention. It is nonsensical to list the topic of that article as Computing. It is a mathematical theorem of an electrical engineering problem. It has nothing whatever to do with computing. Spinning Spark 00:13, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
|subtopic
instead of |topic
, and several more were caused by invalid parameter names (e.g. "Culture, sociology and psychology" instead of "Culture, society and psychology"). One of the common problems was that "Computing and engineering" didn't work as a topic parameter — see
this, which just says good article instead of Engineering and technology good article — but removing the "and engineering" bit seemed to fix the problem. I didn't attempt to assess the article myself: it's listed under
Wikipedia:Good articles/Engineering and technology#Computing and engineering (under "Engineering technology"), so I just assumed that's where it belongs. I didn't actually change the topic name; I just made it visible. —

Hi Bilorv. Thanks again for reviewing many of my Game Show Network GA nominations. I was wondering if you could take a look at the above article, a 2002−03 GSN original. I think I've got pretty much everything done, except for a reception section.

, and several more were caused by invalid parameter names (e.g. "Culture, sociology and psychology" instead of "Culture, society and psychology"). One of the common problems was that "Computing and engineering" didn't work as a topic parameter — see
this, which just says good article instead of Engineering and technology good article — but removing the "and engineering" bit seemed to fix the problem. I didn't attempt to assess the article myself: it's listed under
Wikipedia:Good articles/Engineering and technology#Computing and engineering (under "Engineering technology"), so I just assumed that's where it belongs. I didn't actually change the topic name; I just made it visible. —

this one (similar to the "Computing" thing but with different topic names) or

this? I didn't see any specific issues with {{
GA}}, only with the transclusions of it on various talk pages. I've finished making changes; mass revert me if you want (or tell me which edits you want me to undo and I'll clean up after myself), but I was only trying to help and I don't see how any of my edits were unconstructive or had a negative impact. —

parameter is not displayed verbatim anywhere, as far as I can tell, and I don't understand how changing the topic to the parent category would be "losing the information of where the article has really been placed". My changes added the articles in question to
Category:Engineering and technology good articles, which is certainly not wrong, and caused the text Engineering and technology good article to be displayed on the talk page template, which is not wrong either. What issue have I caused by making these changes? Why are my changes wrong? —

Hi Bilorv. Thanks again for reviewing many of my Game Show Network GA nominations. I was wondering if you could take a look at the above article, a 2002−03 GSN original. I think I've got pretty much everything done, except for a reception section. Since you're in the UK, I doubt you'll be able to do any better than I have with Google, but do you have any recommendations for how I could find a couple of reviews and/or ratings reports? Thanks in advance, -- Bentvfan54321 ( talk) 23:59, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello! Since your review of the page I have been working for Kyabgön Phakchok Rinpoche, a COI - "conflict of interest" - box was added noting my connection with the subject. While this is true, all language that might be considered "non-neutral" has been removed and all statements have been cited. Would you please help and remove the box if warranted? If not, please provide further direction. Thanks! Changchubdawa ( talk) 12:54, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
