Hey Gato, I found a new source so I think I've addressed your request at the DYK nom. Thanks, by the way, for the push! Otherwise I probably would not have done any extra work on the lede. rʨanaɢ ( talk) 13:23, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
On 2 October 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Teacher's Bookshop, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

I'm troubled by your statement here. Not the comment about the interpretation of Bowman's episcopal career -- I feel it's still somewhat ambiguous, and I've asked for a comment from the user who created the article -- but with your comment about my behavior.
Typically, when I've removed hooks, it is because of questions of appropriateness -- largely because of the question of fiction, which is a point that I've already conceded. This, however, was a question of factual accuracy. I do not think you mean to imply that factual errors (or potential factual errors; the phrasing has been addressed and you have stated that you don't feel it's misleading or inaccurate, so okay) should be left on display for procedural reasons or because they were not addressed soon enough.

Hi Gatoclass. You are off to such a great start on the article PS Chauncey Vibbard that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Ms. Citizen ( talk) 19:50, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

This diff is a splendid extension of the policy that I had proposed re: hooks on active political candidates. Wikipedia is based on the concept of building on each other's work, after all.
In all honesty, I rather doubt that any such all-candidates hook would also satisfy all the other criteria for hooks, but I'm willing to be surprised. DS ( talk) 14:38, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't think we promote enough articles to GA to fill an entire queue. However, if we threw B-class articles into that category I would strongly support your proposal. Marcus Qwertyus 21:16, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
On 9 November 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article USS General Taylor, which you created or substantially expanded.

Hey. I read through
this reply a few times with the feeling that something wasn't clicking and what it was finally dawned on me. I think everybody agrees that if editorA submits a 2-article hook, he can then review 2 one-article hooks or 1 two-article hook. But say there's a 15-article hook sitting there. Can editorA review 2 of the 15 articles? I'm sure there are a million arguments to be made on both sides, but it might be a point worth clearing up. I'm hesitant to stir things there up any more than they are — a !vote on whether the sun rises in the morning would surely turn into a 50%-50% screamathon morass. Cheers.

May I respectfully request, if you are allowed to do that, that you move Will Beback's comment out of the non involved admin section of Olive AE case. Edith Sirius Lee ( talk) 14:53, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Of all the comments posted on the recent AE, I found yours to be the most bewildering. I was expecting vitriol from others but not from you. We’ve crossed paths in the past and though our disagreements were sharp, we were always courteous and always managed to resolve our differences amicably, generally incorporating a fusion of both viewpoints. I therefore found your comments puzzling. Best,-- Jiujitsuguy ( talk) 16:49, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
