I think it's a great idea but they don't allow more than five proposals at a time on the TFA requests page. Best way to get this date set up is to drop a note at Raul's talk page. Wrad ( talk) 17:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
"restore 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay for MainPage balance. Incoming TFA is quite long." Or you could have promoted the items for Lorenz and Wheeler that have strong consensus for promotion. ;) Madcoverboy ( talk) 02:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
And ditto for Lorenz's wikibio regarding his death:On 2008 April 13, John Wheeler died of pneumonia at the age of 96 in Hightstown, New Jersey.
No background info about events leading up to the death. No info about the aftermaths or implications. (Typical about natural deaths of old, not so active people.) With so little relevant updating, I can't support their inclusion on ITN, a place on MainPage to showcase well updated articles (not to report news). So, I'll pass. Sorry.On April 16th, 2008, Lorenz died at his home in Cambridge at the age of 90, having suffered from cancer.

Regarding this edit, are you certain that removing it improves main page balance, even after the latest DYK update which is slightly longer than the one preceding it? It doesn't seem that way to me, having checked on both Firefox and Internet Explorer. Perhaps it has to do with our font size difference? -- BorgQueen ( talk) 00:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

After the immense amount of hard work you have done at DYK, contributing who knows how many hundreds of DYK noms (another 54 last month alone), I was shocked to see on your user page that no-one has yet thought to award you one of these. So it seems the privilege of handing it over is mine. Nominators like yourself are essential, giving updaters the crucial variety we need to create balanced updates. Great work PFHLai!

Thank you very much. I fully acknowledge my lack of reference diversity. I am currently working on "fleshing out" the references on Battle of Amba Aradam, First Battle of Tembien, Battle of Shire, Battle of the Ogaden, etc. I really want to add some text to the Second Battle of Tembien first. I think Ras Nasibu needs a write-up as well. And where is the text of the 1928 peace agreement mentioned on the main page? Minor "fixes" to these Wikipedia articles always seem to end up being far deeper than I anticipate. Best Wishes! Mkpumphrey ( talk) 12:16, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes, the context that helps make sense of other sources can only be found in Korean-language sources. In this case, Ryongyon was only created after the Korean War, so although there are English-language sources about parts of the history, they don't mention it by name. I've added an inline citation to a Korean-language encyclopedia article (previously given only as a general reference). Any other requests or suggestions are very welcome. It gives me a good feeling to know that someone was reading "my" article carefully enough to notice an inference needing better referencing! -- Amble ( talk) 17:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain modifying the Opentask page as this is done automatically by a bot every three hours and your changes will soon be overwritten. Juniata College was in the stub category several hours ago when the bot was run, but it will be removed from the open tasks list very soon. If you would like to add a transcluded template to the page, allowing you to add your own stubs. Please modify User:AtyndallBot/Opentaskstemplate. This will stop the bot from overwriting your changes. Thankyou. —Atyndall citation needed 04:45, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Atyndall, I took out Literary adaptation from the "Stubs" line on {{ Opentask}}. I'm not sure why your bot puts it in. It's been 6000 byte long since April 2008 and is not categorised as a stub at all. Very strange. -- PFHLai ( talk) 03:53, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I created the category Category:Wikipedia in the news frequent administrators. As you have experience in ITN and ITN-related matters, I invite you to add your name there.

I'm concerned about the tweaks to the Barcol hardness test DYK hook here. The army did not develop the test, only requested it, it was developed by an individual company to meet the need, or that's how I read it. I'd just hate to get yelled at for the hook not being properly supported by the source or some such nonsense, other than that it wouldn't bother me. Happy editing.

I was impressed by your timely arrival, and then I felt I had been caught! Oh the excitement of finding that I did indeed have 10 DYKs missing..... but ... I managed to find them. The missing 10 are now in the archive. I'm impressed you checked. Oh and I have an idea for two extra DYK awards. One is the GROSS award that you get for 144 DYKS and the TOO GROSS award that you get for 288 plus. Obviously the latter would be for addicts such as yourself. What do you think? Any idea who could supply some "gross" artwork? Victuallers ( talk) 15:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your best wishes. I did sort out one missing "ten DYKs" but hadn't sorted out the other you mentioned when Bedford just gave me it (he was very close himself). I did appreciate that you had kept your eves open and were waiting to send me congrats. Its appreciated. Oh and thanks for the "heads up" on gross. I have two meanings 144 and "disgusting" ... but the latter has a very teenage tinge to it. As you've pointed out these meanings are not international so a "pun" would only work for some and may offend many.

Hi colleague. I've been campaigning for what I call "shorter, sharper hooks" for 2 years and will probably continue to do so. I respect your work on DYK and respectfully understand that other editors will have opinions differing from mine. Please don't take it personally when I identify how I would change hooks you suggest. I'm not implying you do take it personally...I'm only saying this to promote wikilove and all the stuff! We can disagree about this forever and I'll still be happy to work with you.

Hello PFHLai, just letting you know that AtyndallBot is once again operational and now, instead of choosing the oldest articles from a category, randomly selects 6 from each category, updating every 3 hours. You can continue to use the subpages of the opentasks template (categories that cannot be parsed by the bot) that you already know to update the tasks but any changes made to the main opentasks page will be automatically overridden by the bot. Thankyou very much for your time and suggestions. — ^.^ citation needed 11:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for passing along the DYK honour for Mike Tompkins. However, there is a problem -- that was a joint nomination from myself and User:Jonathan321 -- but Jonathan321 did not get the DYK honour notification. Can you please correct that oversight? Thanks!

Hi PFHLai! Thanks for your help with the article Briolette of India and nominating it at T:TDYK. I'll be adding more detailed info to the 'history' section tomorrow (I'm a bit busy right now), so there's no need to move the lead section to that part. So I'm re-adding that part to the lead. In fact, I was thinking of providing a chance for an inexperienced user to improve the history section, so that he can get some experience at article building. Thanks again, and please note that I'm not trying to own the article here ;) Chamal talk 13:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

I know you are not too sure about this but I am going to move you up the DYK list. I think 750 noms is excellent. Lots of editors will have had there 15 minutes of fame due to your efforts.

I think it's a great idea but they don't allow more than five proposals at a time on the TFA requests page. Best way to get this date set up is to drop a note at Raul's talk page. Wrad ( talk) 17:19, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

And ditto for Lorenz's wikibio regarding his death:On 2008 April 13, John Wheeler died of pneumonia at the age of 96 in Hightstown, New Jersey.
No background info about events leading up to the death. No info about the aftermaths or implications. (Typical about natural deaths of old, not so active people.) With so little relevant updating, I can't support their inclusion on ITN, a place on MainPage to showcase well updated articles (not to report news). So, I'll pass. Sorry.On April 16th, 2008, Lorenz died at his home in Cambridge at the age of 90, having suffered from cancer.

After the immense amount of hard work you have done at DYK, contributing who knows how many hundreds of DYK noms (another 54 last month alone), I was shocked to see on your user page that no-one has yet thought to award you one of these. So it seems the privilege of handing it over is mine. Nominators like yourself are essential, giving updaters the crucial variety we need to create balanced updates. Great work PFHLai!

Thank you very much. I fully acknowledge my lack of reference diversity.

I think Ras Nasibu needs a write-up as well. And where is the text of the 1928 peace agreement mentioned on the main page?

Sometimes, the context that helps make sense of other sources can only be found in Korean-language sources. In this case, Ryongyon was only created after the Korean War, so although there are English-language sources about parts of the history, they don't mention it by name. I've added an inline citation to a Korean-language encyclopedia article (previously given only as a general reference). Any other requests or suggestions are very welcome.

I'm concerned about the tweaks to the Barcol hardness test DYK hook here.

I'd just hate to get yelled at for the hook not being properly supported by the source or some such nonsense, other than that it wouldn't bother me. Happy editing.

I was impressed by your timely arrival, and then I felt I had been caught! Oh the excitement of finding that I did indeed have 10 DYKs missing..... but ... I managed to find them. The missing 10 are now in the archive. I'm impressed you checked. Oh and I have an idea for two extra DYK awards. One is the GROSS award that you get for 144 DYKS and the TOO GROSS award that you get for 288 plus. Obviously the latter would be for addicts such as yourself. What do you think? Any idea who could supply some "gross" artwork? Victuallers ( talk) 15:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your best wishes. I did sort out one missing "ten DYKs" but hadn't sorted out the other you mentioned when Bedford just gave me it (he was very close himself). I did appreciate that you had kept your eves open and were waiting to send me congrats. Its appreciated. Oh and thanks for the "heads up" on gross. I have two meanings 144 and "disgusting" ... but the latter has a very teenage tinge to it. As you've pointed out these meanings are not international so a "pun" would only work for some and may offend many.

Hi colleague. I've been campaigning for what I call "shorter, sharper hooks" for 2 years and will probably continue to do so. I respect your work on DYK and respectfully understand that other editors will have opinions differing from mine. Please don't take it personally when I identify how I would change hooks you suggest.

AtyndallBot
Hello PFHLai, just letting you know that AtyndallBot is once again operational and now, instead of choosing the oldest articles from a category, randomly selects 6 from each category, updating every 3 hours. You can continue to use the subpages of the opentasks template (categories that cannot be parsed by the bot) that you already know to update the tasks but any changes made to the main opentasks page will be automatically overridden by the bot. Thankyou very much for your time and suggestions. — ^.^ citation needed 11:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that I liked your rewrite of the ITN item on the Canadian election. I had formulated the previous wording, but now that a government is being formed, yours is more apropos. Regards, Newyorkbrad ( talk) 21:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the DYK nomination --- I modified the hook a bit and rewrote the paragraph in question because after I reread the source, I think it meant the present day and not 1896 --- that also agrees with the numbers I got from other sources.

Hi Lai,
In response to my suggestion of an image for yesterday's featured article, you mentioned the "TFA Director". I was just wondering: who is the TFA Director? and are there other types of "directors" on Wikipedia?
Happy editing,

Hello! Thank you for passing along the DYK honour for Mike Tompkins. However, there is a problem -- that was a joint nomination from myself and User:Jonathan321 -- but Jonathan321 did not get the DYK honour notification. Can you please correct that oversight? Thanks!

Hi PFHLai! Thanks for your help with the article Briolette of India and nominating it at T:TDYK. I'll be adding more detailed info to the 'history' section tomorrow (I'm a bit busy right now), so there's no need to move the lead section to that part. So I'm re-adding that part to the lead. In fact, I was thinking of providing a chance for an inexperienced user to improve the history section, so that he can get some experience at article building. Thanks again, and please note that I'm not trying to own the article here ;) Chamal talk 13:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

BorgQueen ( talk) 14:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
When you swapped hooks, you didn't add extra spaces for Punkmorten, which resulted in the bot giving the same credit twice on his talk page. It is stated in the instruction: If the same editor has written/nominated multiple articles add different amounts of spaces after the username for the additional articles. -- BorgQueen ( talk) 22:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm notifying myself about my own nom again because DYKBot ( talk · contribs) has forgotten about me again! (Instead, he did this.) Sigh....
Anyway, this nom. has brought my total DYK count to 750+ successful DYK nominations (including one self-nom.) Yeah! :-) -- PFHLai ( talk) 21:19, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
I know you are not too sure about this but I am going to move you up the DYK list. I think 750 noms is excellent. Lots of editors will have had there 15 minutes of fame due to your efforts. We need more nominators. I also note that you help new editors through their difficult "births" of their first few DYKs. WELL DONE! Well Done Victuallers ( talk) 08:22, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
