Curious what you think should be done to improve the page past a C rating. Gershonmk ( talk) 22:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, Gershonmk. I'd suggest adding an infobox; {{Infobox Jewish leader}} or {{Infobox person}} would work. Having less of the article as bulleted lists and more as encyclopedic text would also be necessary. Carter ( talk) 00:07, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

I have submitted a userbox request at Wikipedia_talk:Userboxes/Ideas#Request_-_April_17,_2021. Please do it. 64.121.103.144 ( talk) 22:09, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

I might do some, but I'm not willing to promise to commit to it at this point. Carter ( talk) 18:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

do all of my ubxes. it's supermassive. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:Userboxes/Ideas#Request_-_April_17,_2021 98.148.167.84 ( talk)

I might do some, but I'm not really interested in committing to a giant list. Carter ( talk) 18:23, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I undid your reversion of my edits to the Know Nothing Page because of a mistake I feel like you made in understanding my reasoning; my use of the descriptor "republican" was not in reference to the US Republican Party, and my use of the descriptor was not originally added by me - it was present in the article before 23 March 2021. StalwartGrantist ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:09, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Fair enough. You're right, I glossed the edit incorrectly. Carter ( talk) 21:19, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

The Starship userbox you created has am image which is out of date. Please use the first image in the SpaceX Starship article. Starship SLS (formerly IP 64.121.103.144) ( talk) 23:47, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

StarshipSLS That image doesn't scale well for an infobox. Can you suggest one that is more horizontal or square in orientation? Carter ( talk) 11:50, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

I split my ubx requests into multiple pieces. so all of them slowly because that's your style, also, the space-loving guy has lots of requests to finish. 98.148.167.84 ( talk) 02:50, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

98.148.167.84, I'd suggest you learn how to make infoboxes yourself. I'm not really interested in most of the ones you're proposing and trying to dig up and align appropriate images for all of them isn't something I have time for. Carter ( talk) 11:54, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

	The Original Barnstar
	Thank you so much for creating userboxes for the Rocketry WikiProject! It has been such a relief that I don't have to create the templates alone! When I first saw that you posted the templates on the request, I was like: "Wow! He is really good!" Thank again for you're work and effort on the userboxes. It has not gone unnoticed! Jack Reynolds ( talk to me | email me) 13:06, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Carter ( talk) 13:11, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for doing my requests! May you please take another bite at it, but stop when you feel like it. 98.148.167.84 ( talk) 01:46, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tcr25, thanks for your comment. I read the article Francisco Bouligny (almost the same as my editor's name!) to which you contributed. Its a clear and well written article, it's a shame that Étienne de Perier it’s not written this way. Regards, -- Belyny ( talk) 23:05, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. I agree that de Perier needs significant work. I've just been trying to work around the edges on it, but wasn't ready to dive head on into fixing it :). Carter ( talk) 23:11, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Carter,

Just let you know that LouisianaDavis and Caux9 are the same guy already blocked for Sockpuppetry on French Wikipedia (on Perier Family). I made a request about this repeated dishonest behavior [1]. Regards, -- Belyny ( talk) 18:31, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Belyny. I know there's an open sockpuppet investigation going on around this. Still I'm trying to help manage the rewrite process on Perier as best I can. Given that we haven't gotten to any of the controversial parts yet, I don't know if that will be possible but we can all hope and try to create a good article. Carter ( talk) 18:35, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for this pertinent comment Belyny.

I think we're going to have a great article thanks to your help, which so far has been invaluable, Carter.

I wish you a good day,

LouisianaDavis ( talk) 18:53, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

A sockpuppet restored an old version of this page, I've reverted their edit and if the page isn't already on your watchlist, I recommend you add it, they've been edit warring on other pages with other IPs that are linked to the original sockpuppet. Cheers, -- Vacant0 ( talk) 13:27, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! Carter ( talk) 14:01, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

of an edit I just made. It has caused me to dig out my History of Iceland, with my grandfather's name written in it, and perhaps make some more edits, or maybe just read it. Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 18:39, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

That's awesome, Carptrash. Enjoy! — Carter ( talk) 18:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sciencefish. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Fantasy Trip, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Thanks again for your efforts! ― Buster7  ☎ 13:53, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Buster7, Thank you so much! I really appreciate this. — Carter ( talk) 17:17, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Tcr25 and thanks to you for the repair job at the Hall of Fame. I could not figure it out until your repair showed me what the problem was. Forgetfulness! Thanks ― Buster7  ☎ 20:23, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello again:

I've now finished my copy edit of Étienne Perier (governor) for the GOCE. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

As far as I'm concerned the article meets GA requirements. It most certainly is significantly better than a C-class. Best of luck moving forward.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist ( talk) 13:50, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Twofingered Typist. I have gone in and tried to address the question points and will give it another look over. Thanks for giving it a final polish! — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 13:53, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

	The Barnstar of Diplomacy
	For your work at Étienne Perier (governor), not the article I would've thought would end up as a GA nomination, but you took it the extra mile. Eostrix  ( 🦉 hoot hoot🦉) 14:40, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Eostrix, I honestly didn't know how that process would end up, but I'm pretty happy with the final result :). Thanks for weighing in on it, too! — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 14:44, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Étienne Perier (governor) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of GhostRiver -- GhostRiver ( talk) 23:40, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

The article Étienne Perier (governor) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Étienne Perier (governor) for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of GhostRiver -- GhostRiver ( talk) 00:00, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

The article Étienne Perier (governor) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Étienne Perier (governor) for comments about the article. Well done!

Hi there - just wanted to leave a quick thank you note for your edits at Lars Fause. I re-read the sources and realized that I had misinterpreted them (especially the headlines: "Fause is first gender-neutral Governor, etc.") and that it was only talking about his title. I also have altered the proposed DYK hook that I nominated it with ( here) - I believe the hook there is correct now. I appreciate the help! PCN02WPS ( talk | contribs) 16:42, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

PCN02WPS, no problems. The hedline on the source definitely lends itself to the sort of reading you gave it at first. I think the revised DYK hook works well too... Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 16:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Greene is dead: why did you change his Tale page to "living" etc.? - Aboudaqn ( talk) 19:25, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Oops, I'm using the Rater tool to try and clear out the backlog of unassessed biography articles. I missed that "living" was checked ... sorry 'bout that. — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 19:29, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Got your back, jack! ;) - Aboudaqn ( talk) 19:32, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Aboudaqn, I just looked at the edit. I had it marked as living=no. I'm going to rollback your revert so that the rating and WP:Law template are back in place. And that was already there; the thing I added was needs-infobox=y. — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 19:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Okay, then you got my back (thank you) – and I'll add the InfoBox me-self as further apologies - Aboudaqn ( talk) 19:38, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

On 23 October 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Suohpanterror, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Suohpanterror.

Hi, thanks for rating Sir John Hamilton, 1st Baronet, of Marlborough House. Could you tell me what it's missing from the B-class criteria, so that it might be improved? Many thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe ( talk) 00:00, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Pickersgill-Cunliffe, Because WP:MILHIST has a pretty formal process for B-class assessment, and because I'm focused on clearing the back log of unassessed biographies, I tend to be conservative in ranking things. Overall, the article looks good to me, but I would suggest listing it at WP:MHAR for a more formal assessment. — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 00:58, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

I'll do that; thanks again. Pickersgill-Cunliffe ( talk) 13:31, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the editing of Mary H. J. Henderson image whitespace in the infobox. I had a similar issue with Elsie Cameron Corbett and would welcome your assistance (or any guidance as to how-to remove this here as well). Much appreciated - still a learner! Kaybeesquared ( talk) 16:55, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello Kaybeesquared. I've gone ahead and fixed the Corbett photo too. All I did was to bring the image into a photo-editing program (Gimp, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, even MS Paint might work) and then cropped it so that the excess whitespace caused during scanning was removed. With the Corbett image I had to upload it as a new file since the original was a PDF, not JPG; the Henderson one just needed to be uploaded as a new version of the file. If you have any specific questions about it all, just let me know! — Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 19:29, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for doing that and your handy guide..I find Wikipedia / Commons help pages can be confusing for fairly simple tasks. This is much appreciated. Kaybeesquared ( talk) 21:16, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tcr25! We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission. I think these links might be helpful to you as you get started.
