My question was old enough I think it got archived. I saw you had responded in my notifications. Thank you. I know you're busy. If there is confusion, I'm sure it's mine. I posted on the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard to see if others agreed with the assertion of bias, and I thought your response was "Of course it's biased." I think now - maybe - you meant a western bias, while I think - maybe - Borsoka meant an anti-Catholic bias. I probably do have the first one but not the second. I am trying to fix both. I am in the process of adding all I can find on the East. I've done Antiquity and am still working in my sandbox on Middle Ages but will have something there soon.
As to the second, in an effort to be concise, I see now that my summary was misleading. I have now divided the section most in question into two sections - High and Late Middle Ages - which shows the transition better and offers multiple causes for decline rather than making it seem as if there was one primary cause.
I am adding sources, but they all say basically the same things. I am including more explanation which hopefully will help with neutrality. At any rate, I wanted to be sure I had responded fully to where you noted the need for improvement. I tried to be sure I took out everything you objected to and anything I could find like it. If there is anything else you see that needs attention, I would be deeply grateful for any and all comments. Your input is invaluable. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 17:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
You know what? You are pretty fun! I appreciate the chat. If you ever want me to collaborate on anything, let me know and I will make it first priority. The only thing that could prevent that would be something in real life. And I would explain hopefully... At any rate, I would love to collaborate with you.

Greetings, since you did review Guallatiri at FAC I was wondering if you may be interested in Ojos del Salado too. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 08:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Since you were the FAC coordinator leaving queries on my FAC, I figured I'd ask you if there is anything else that I need to get done for it. There are multiple prose supports and now no opposes, although this is my first FAC, so I'm not sure if there is a set number of supports needed to pass. As for the image and source reviews, neither has been marked as passed or failed, but both reviewers have responded after I addressed their concerns. -- Zoo Blazer 17:21, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi. do you wish to remain active, as one of the wikiproject coordinators at WikiProject History? Please advise. whatever you prefer is totally fine; I simply wanted to clarify. thanks! Sm8900 ( talk) 14:53, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I wanted to apologize for my behavior during the FAC for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King article. I should have taken a step back and a deep breath to clear my head and to try and engage with the conversation in a more productive manner. Aoba47 ( talk) 15:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you today for Battle of New Carthage, introduced: "Another in the seemingly endless series of Second Punic War articles I have been nominating. This one sees a young Publius Cornelius Scipio demonstrating tactical innovation in his first full command – in Iberia. (Readers of my last FAC will recognise him as the man who was to eventually defeat Hannibal and win the war for the Romans.)" -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey Gog, I would like your thoughts about nominating the Big Raven Formation article for FA. I'm not sure if it's too technical for the average reader to understand. Volcano guy 16:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Dear Gog the Mild, I am writing after stumbling upon your message on the talk page of the article on Markos Botsaris. I am interested in finding a mentor to provide assistance towards my first nomination of an article for the status of Featured Article, namely the article on the battle of Meligalas. I know that you are not listed among those volunteering for the role, but I have already written a message to Peacemaker67 to no avail and I noticed you have successfully nominated numerous articles relating to military history, so I am wondering whether you would be interested in undertaking this role and providing your guidance. Regardless, I send you my regards, Ashmedai 119 ( talk) 19:49, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Gog, do you think Battle of Poison Spring is close enough to FA standard to dispense with the A-Class review? Three of the major sources need to go back to the library by May 17 so I'm hoping to get the FAC started sooner rather than later. Hog Farm Talk 03:02, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
