I was told by SRX to wait till he finishes his review, but the peer review is closed and I'm thinking I'm just going to nominate it tonight. How are your other projects going? -- Will C 00:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
That is what I'm shooting for. I've cut down all the matches. All I can do is remove the eliminations in the Xscape match. They want me to remove two of the background matches. Look at the reason why I don't want to on the FAC page.-- Will C 22:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Since you passed Pike Place Fish Market as a "good article", you might want to see my remark at Talk:Pike Place Fish Market#Poor citation. I wouldn't be surprised if there were similar problems elsewhere in the article (it's rare to see exactly one citation problem). Any idea how much you followed up to check out citations? - Jmabel | Talk 05:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

I see that you made this a good article. I have no desire to stop people's requests for GA. A request for GA can get articles improved. However, I am not too happy about the article. It is a long dizzy list. There should be better analysis of the storm track, easy to find windspeeds of the course of the storm (rather than searching through different paragraph), and an analysis of how the storm is different or the same.
On the other hand, if I visit the GA page and start saying how the articles are not so good (doesn't imply lack of effort or intellect) then people will think I have a sour attitude. This is not the case. Chergles ( talk) 17:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if you're still doing GAN reviews, but if you are, could you take a look at Half-Life 2: Survivor?

Thanks, -- Starstriker7( Dime algo or see my works) 18:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
I've only had time for a glance. The article looks in better shape than when I reviewed it last month on FAC, but I really need to read it thoroughly again, which I can't do just yet as I am more or less completely bogged down. I'll get to it when I can. Brianboulton ( talk) 18:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey, how's it going, I didn't talk to you for a while. Been caught up in so much work I forgot I had WikiBuddys. Rk Or To N 13:52, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm just a little confused by some of the reference changes you've been making on this article and hoped you could clarify it for me. One thing that I'm not clear about are the blanket changes from "cite web" to "cite news", even on refs that are clearly only refs from the web, such as from goldenglobe.org, metacritic.com, rottentomatoes.com, oscars.org, etc. It doesn't seem to me to be necessary and is taking up a lot of time for you. Another is the inclusion of the website companies that hosts some of the pages, an example of which is Variety. In that particular case, Reed Elsevier is the company that handles the web application, they aren't the publishers of Variety. In another case, News Corporation is inserted, which is an umbrella parent company and not the direct publisher. I guess I'm wondering why you are converting these refs to include details that aren't required in the citation template instructions and that I haven't seen elsewhere, even on featured articles, and in a lot of cases are redundant. An example:
The link itself indicates it is a website and the format parameter instructions say "Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified." In this example, there are two publishers indicated, although the company itself is only one entity. The work parameter instruction says "If this item is part of a larger "work", such as a book, periodical or website, write the name of that work." In this case, abcnews is the website and it seems to me that using either publisher or work as ABC News covers all of that.
Without belaboring a lot of small examples, I'm simply wondering why so much detail, some of which is redundant. None of the citation usage examples incorporate all of those details in that way. Has someone requested all of that in a review? It's confusing to me, and again, I'm afraid you're making way too much work for yourself. Thanks for your patience with my questions.

Hi ThinkBlue. I've noticed you're impressive GA reviews on Wikipedia, and was wondering if you could review 1970 Tonghai earthquake. I realize that this is small, but that is because the Chinese government covered up details of the quake until 2000, and even then very little was let known. ~the editorofthewiki ( talk/ contribs/ editor review)~ 00:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! A quick question, when you say the wikilinked planet names "need to be linked correctly", do you mean that they should point to the relevant sections in the target article? If so, I've modified the redirects to do that. I've also dealt with the dates in the references. If I understood you correctly on the planet wikilinks, I think its all done. -- Sabre ( talk) 23:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey ThinkBlue, I know that you ran for Adminship back in March, and failed. I opposed you then, but doing a quick review it looks like you are a different candidate today. If you are interested, I would be happy to review your edits more thoroughly for a potential second run? I am not promising anything, but I'd be willing to give you an honest assessment. Let me know. (also respond here. I HATE talk pages like yours where the conversation jumps back and forth between multiple people.)--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 01:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Think, I just spent several hours reviewing your edits... I've been looking for a reason to think that an RfA at this point in time would turn out differently. While you are a heck of an asset to the project, I don't think you would be a good candidate for an RfA. The problem is that while you fill a helpful niche, the niche you fill doesn't allow you to demonstrate policy or guideline knowledge. While I see civility and a person who is sought out to help, I don't see a need for the tools or demonstrated knowledge of policies and guidelines. If you are interested in running for adminship in a few months, I would be proud to be your admin coach.--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 01:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I got my 1,000th contribution yesterday, I'm so excited, I've been on here for six months now. It's great, sorry so excited I had to tell somebody. Later, Hairy Perry 13:31, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah i saw your little userbox thats quite an accomplishment and wait your still not an admin or was you at one time or something. I don't know, I'm confused. Thanks for the congrats though,
22,000+ |
Wow... Hairy Perry 15:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
So what was the problem? Looking at your contribs that seems like some good editing to me. Did they say why it didn't pass? Thats some BS I would have voted for you if I could've. I want to be an admin someday, but if somebody with 21,000 more edits than me can't get an RFA, I don't even know if I can or not. Hairy Perry 15:53, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
So they rushed you to answer questions or you just rushed on your own. So you have to work in multiple fields well, I think I'm doing that, I'm not quite sure though. Well, still you'd be a good admin in my book, but I'm still going to wait awhile before I go for an RFA. Hairy Perry 16:02, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I hope one day to be an admin, but how do you actually work on articles of deletion? I mean I have had articles deleted before, but what do you actually do. I am mostly an article bulder and a vandal reverter, but I'd like to get into other projects and stuff, do you have any suggestions? Hairy Perry 16:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I get what you mean now. Is there anyway to find out the articles right now that are crrently going the the deletion process. There is one thing about the Twinkle. I have IE and it doesn't work on it, so about a vandal reverting tool, I don't know but I can do as much as I can to try to be an admn though. Plus, I have made quite a few admin friends, somaybe they can help out on what they would like to see me do. Hairy Perry 16:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I have already started, I think what I went to was Today's AFD log and saw a couple of interesting articles and a couple not so interesting, but I only commented on one which you can see in my contribs. No that wasn't me with Twinkle, but I tried to get it though, it sat in my monobook forever. Hairy Perry 17:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Its wasn't me unless I accidentally put it in there or something, well hey if it is sitting in your monobook can it still show up that you use Twinkle? Hairy Perry 17:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Well then I don't know, you must have got me mixed up with somebody else. Hairy Perry 17:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
No I don't have it, I've heard about it, but don't really know what it does or anything. What is rollback, because I see you have it. Hairy Perry 17:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I have requested it, well we will see where it goes from there. Hairy Perry 17:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

They didn't give me rollback because they said I didn't have enough vandalism reverts and because I made a couple mistakes on an interwiki link and a ref tag error. I don't know, I guess I will just be patient and wait until I get some more experience. Hairy Perry 14:39, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

If you look at the image's source, I already did crop it a bit, and it looks to be about the same size as the prior image that was in the infobox.

Yea, it looks good, just two things - a) Can the last paragraph be made any longer? It just a little short, and b) The last line of the third paragraph - "Though, they lost the tag team titles in July 2008." - is it really neccessary? It just makes the paragraph sound a little strange in my opinion. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 11:19, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. I've left some notes on the Bazooka talk page referring to your review; I don't think the article is anywhere near GA standard at the moment, primarily due to a lack of info and extremely poor referencing. Skinny87 ( talk) 07:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I've been okay, I guess. How about you? No, I placed those type of messages on all of the WWE 2008 ppvs because I kind of feel I'm the updater of the PPV expansion list. I wanted to keep it up to date as possible and wanted to see if anyone was going to work on it. There is alot of 2008 WWE ppvs on that list that say up for grabs and I've been wanting to change that. Plus I was wondering if you were going to take it to GA so I could move it to the under construction section on the list. I probably will not work on a WWE ppv until I finish all of the TNA ppvs. I'm too busy in real life and on here to take up another article. So far I've got three on GAN and Lockdown at FAC. Also thanks for the luck. Plus I have about 6 more 2008 TNA ppvs to finish and the 2004 Victory Road and 2005 Against All Odds.-- Will C 23:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I notice that the FAC has stalled somewhat, with no substantial comments after my own, several days back. Have you let the reviewers who helped the article at GA and peer review know that it's at FAC? They don't always look! If you have, there's not much else you can do, but if you haven't, a carefully worded note to each might widen the discussion at FAC, and give you useful feedback so that even if the article fails, you will have a better basis for improving it. It's something I generally do when I do a FAC nomination. Think about it. Brianboulton ( talk) 17:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I made my feelings known, but wasn't planning on doing the entire formal review. If it sits much longer, I'll do it, but if you want to do it, feel free. So long as you don't ask them to turn her article into a deodorant commercial, that is.— Kww( talk) 18:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Night of Champions (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which took place on June 29, 2008 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. It was the second annual event under the Night of Champions name and the eight annual event under the Vengeance/Night of Champions chronology. [4] It starred wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. [5] Like the previous year before, every match on the card was contested for a championship; three were won and five were retained.
The main event was an interpromotional match for the WWE Championship between SmackDown representative, Triple H, and Raw representative, John Cena; Triple H won and retained the championship in the match. The predominant match was also a interpromotional match for the World Heavyweight Championship between SmackDown representative, Edge, and Raw representative, Batista, which Edge won to retain the championship. The main match from the ECW brand was an interpromotional standard match involving three wrestlers for the ECW Championship, in which ECW representative, Mark Henry, defeated the champion and Raw representative, Kane, and SmackDown representative, The Big Show.
Night of Champions received 273,000 PPV buys, up from the 2007 event figure of 243,000 buys. This event helped WWE increase its PPV revenue by $21.9 million compared to the previous year's event. [6] When the event was released on DVD, it reached the fourth position on Billboard's DVD Sales Chart. The professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website rated the entire event a 7 out of 10 stars, higher and lower than the 2007 event's ratings of 5 and 7.5 out of 10.

Hey, if you've got time could you peer review List of Jacksonville Jaguars head coaches at Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Jacksonville Jaguars head coaches/archive1? It's really short—a list with just two items. Thanks in advance! Gary King ( talk) 02:12, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
I was delighted to see that your article is now featured, after what seems a very long FAC. I have been monitoring the page, and for a while I wondered where the reviewers were. But it all came good. I don't know if this is your first FA (it seems to be your first listed at WP:WBFAN) but I know it won't be the last. Great work. By the way, are you really only 18?

I am having a problem with the photo J-L-Lewis.jpg --- I want to do the copyright correctly (Wikimedia Commons), but I'm not getting it right. I also want to delete the earlier version of the same photo. Can you help? Rmshane ( talk) 17:53, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Looking at your involvement in the Good Article review of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution article, I think it is fair to guess that you were unaware of the various points of view on the topic missing from the article, and the neutrality bias problem [2] in the article. May I suggest that the GA determination be reassessed as to whether the article meets neutrality policy? Thanks. SaltyBoatr ( talk) 21:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

The 2009 WikiCup will begin on January 1, 2009. The first round will run through March 31, 2009. For more information on this tournament, read the " about" section on the main WikiCup page.
This year, we have a different system in calculating points. At User:Garden/WikiCup/Submissions, you will find information about submitting your article (and other) work to earn points. Each contestant will have their own individual subpage for submitting completed work to us.
This year, User:ST47 will also be running one of his bots to calculate mainspace edits and read your submission subpages to calculate the point values you receive based on our scoring chart.
Questions or comment? Ask at the talk page or go directly to Garden or IMatthew's talk page. Good luck and Happy Holidays! -- aye matthew ✡ and Garden. 14:02, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you failed the above article becaues there'd been no activity on the article since your review. how Do You Turn This On/Amicon retired from wikipedia before your review, so that's why no changes have been made. Since the comments you made seemed to be pretty minor I thought I'd see if I could deal with them. My responses are on the talk page. I know it's unconventional since you just failed the article, but I was wondering if you could reopen the review for a couple of days while I see if I can improve it. It would save having to go through the GAC process all over again and another reviewer having to familiarise themselves with the article. Cheers, Nev1 ( talk) 22:57, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi ThinkBlue, I've opened a reassessment on Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 as I feel there should be greater encyclopedic information (broad coverage) within the article. I don't think it would take much work to bring it up to scratch as all the information is already out there, some of it in place on Wikipedia. But it would be worth people doing the work as the article is used as an example of a "Foo in the Eurovision Song Contest YEAR" Good Article, and it would be worth giving people something reasonably comprehensive and worthwhile to work toward.

I like your work, and impressed by your userpage look and name thing you've got going haha. Anyway. I'm not here to bug you about the review, just thought I'd randomly drop by, network a bit and tell you I admire what you've done. Keep it up! Excited to see your thoughts on the article =)

Haha, and a jiffy it was! Very nicely done - can't wait to get back to work on the article. Haha y'know, it feels a shade exciting knowing you've put so much effort towards getting an article up to scratch - ultimate geekery? Haha. Ooooo I'd love to do collaborative work especially with such an experienced editor. How about you tell me your interests so we see what we can do between us? :) I see you're quite into wrasslin' - I used to love it up until a few years back - maybe I could still be of help there.

Haha yeah we're even, but I feel you should still owe me =P I'd agree that Coldplay are great, but I'd have to research before agreeing that they're the greatest out! Thanks for the recording label encouragement, Blue =) ...is there another name you prefer to go by? Ooo a Maggie fan eh? Interesting. I consider her one of the better actresses out there, so it's good that she gets her due on here! Oo, I see. I was going to work on the Fantastic Four film next (it's hard to find films I greatly enjoy which need work that I can do... so it's the lesser maintained superheroes I'm tackling haha), but if you're not into it we can do something else? A good way to work is find DVDs you have with plenty of production information, whose corresponding articles are rubbish (a free films article tip for ya!) Oooo cool and fun sports - do you play them all often? You don't happen to be a part-time Cali beach Volley ball chick during the summer, do ya? Sorry, it's a stereotype haha. Well if all people are as sweet as you out there then hell, bring on the Vegas baby! I've always heard good things about it there, I assume that's where you live? I'm in the lively streets of Luton, which is lovely for all four sunny weeks during the summer! -- Harish ( Talk) - 22:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY FIRST GA!!!!!! =D Oh man, how exciting! Uh... I'd like to start by thanking GOD... my parents, who are sitting at home watching reading this! Special thanks to Blue for making it happen!! My friends for their support! I'd also like to thank Father Time for giving me that spare time, and Mother Nature for making it cold enough to give me every reason not go out. Thank you so much, it's... it's beautiful =')
But seriously, thanks Blue! I also appreciate the few final date clean ups you did to it! Sorry I didn't reply earlier - assignment and exam hell began the week just gone, and I have two more of those weeks left. Hahah, I like that - taking pics of Brad Pitt and Maggie would be a GREAT idea, AND... what a sign of a true Wikipedien to do so lol. Oh sweet, I appreciate the tour guide offer I'll call that chip in with due time ;) Actually I was thinking about you a couple of days back and was thinking if you wanna collaborate then an interesting way to do so could be for you to suggest an article you want to work on as well as one I want to, and we just keep working with each other on the two articles. I dunno how you feel about that method but I'll be interested in your response. Hope all's been well you've been taking caaare! -- Harish ( Talk) - 12:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Dear ThinkBlue,
In response to edit of John Cena's finishing move, The STFU, I changed the move to STF as this is what its now being referred to by the WWE. I did not leave a source last time which meant that you believed that my edit counted as vandalism.
Here is my source to back up the John Cena move name change:

I see that you made this a good article. I have no desire to stop people's requests for GA. A request for GA can get articles improved. However, I am not too happy about the article. It is a long dizzy list. There should be better analysis of the storm track, easy to find windspeeds of the course of the storm (rather than searching through different paragraph), and an analysis of how the storm is different or the same.
On the other hand, if I visit the GA page and start saying how the articles are not so good (doesn't imply lack of effort or intellect) then people will think I have a sour attitude. This is not the case. Chergles ( talk) 17:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I've only had time for a glance.

Hey, how's it going, I didn't talk to you for a while. Been caught up in so much work I forgot I had WikiBuddys. Rk Or To N 13:52, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm just a little confused by some of the reference changes you've been making on this article and hoped you could clarify it for me. One thing that I'm not clear about are the blanket changes from "cite web" to "cite news", even on refs that are clearly only refs from the web, such as from goldenglobe.org, metacritic.com, rottentomatoes.com, oscars.org, etc. It doesn't seem to me to be necessary and is taking up a lot of time for you. Another is the inclusion of the website companies that hosts some of the pages, an example of which is Variety. In that particular case, Reed Elsevier is the company that handles the web application, they aren't the publishers of Variety. In another case, News Corporation is inserted, which is an umbrella parent company and not the direct publisher. I guess I'm wondering why you are converting these refs to include details that aren't required in the citation template instructions and that I haven't seen elsewhere, even on featured articles, and in a lot of cases are redundant. An example:
The link itself indicates it is a website and the format parameter instructions say "Format, e.g. PDF. HTML implied if not specified." In this example, there are two publishers indicated, although the company itself is only one entity. The work parameter instruction says "If this item is part of a larger "work", such as a book, periodical or website, write the name of that work." In this case, abcnews is the website and it seems to me that using either publisher or work as ABC News covers all of that.
Without belaboring a lot of small examples, I'm simply wondering why so much detail, some of which is redundant. None of the citation usage examples incorporate all of those details in that way. Has someone requested all of that in a review? It's confusing to me, and again, I'm afraid you're making way too much work for yourself. Thanks for your patience with my questions.

Hey ThinkBlue, I addressed your issues. Grsz 11 →Review! 21:42, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. Any chance you could do a GAR of this article? It'd be much appreciated. Elucidate ( light up) 20:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi ThinkBlue. I've noticed you're impressive GA reviews on Wikipedia, and was wondering if you could review 1970 Tonghai earthquake. I realize that this is small, but that is because the Chinese government covered up details of the quake until 2000, and even then very little was let known. ~the editorofthewiki ( talk/ contribs/ editor review)~ 00:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! A quick question, when you say the wikilinked planet names "need to be linked correctly", do you mean that they should point to the relevant sections in the target article? If so, I've modified the redirects to do that. I've also dealt with the dates in the references. If I understood you correctly on the planet wikilinks, I think its all done. -- Sabre ( talk) 23:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
[1] Yep, I have plans of bringing some Coldplay song articles to FA status, but not working until I have settled my other workloads. Hope we can collaborate on it. -- Efe ( talk) 11:25, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Sure, I'll be able to look over the article; I've got Veterans Day off from both regular school and Chinese school, so I'll have a lot of time. I'll review it on the peer review page, is that okay? Ink Runner ( talk) 19:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks very much for the review! I have made changes to address your concerns, as noted at Talk:Joe Biden presidential campaign, 1988/GA1. Wasted Time R ( talk) 02:25, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey ThinkBlue, I know that you ran for Adminship back in March, and failed. I opposed you then, but doing a quick review it looks like you are a different candidate today. If you are interested, I would be happy to review your edits more thoroughly for a potential second run? I am not promising anything, but I'd be willing to give you an honest assessment. Let me know. (also respond here. I HATE talk pages like yours where the conversation jumps back and forth between multiple people.)--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 01:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Think, I just spent several hours reviewing your edits... I've been looking for a reason to think that an RfA at this point in time would turn out differently. While you are a heck of an asset to the project, I don't think you would be a good candidate for an RfA. The problem is that while you fill a helpful niche, the niche you fill doesn't allow you to demonstrate policy or guideline knowledge. While I see civility and a person who is sought out to help, I don't see a need for the tools or demonstrated knowledge of policies and guidelines. If you are interested in running for adminship in a few months, I would be proud to be your admin coach.--- Balloonman PoppaBalloon 01:21, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
I got my 1,000th contribution yesterday, I'm so excited, I've been on here for six months now. It's great, sorry so excited I had to tell somebody. Later, Hairy Perry 13:31, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Yeah i saw your little userbox thats quite an accomplishment and wait your still not an admin or was you at one time or something. I don't know, I'm confused. Thanks for the congrats though,
22,000+ |
Wow... Hairy Perry 15:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
So what was the problem? Looking at your contribs that seems like some good editing to me. Did they say why it didn't pass? Thats some BS I would have voted for you if I could've. I want to be an admin someday, but if somebody with 21,000 more edits than me can't get an RFA, I don't even know if I can or not. Hairy Perry 15:53, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
So they rushed you to answer questions or you just rushed on your own. So you have to work in multiple fields well, I think I'm doing that, I'm not quite sure though. Well, still you'd be a good admin in my book, but I'm still going to wait awhile before I go for an RFA. Hairy Perry 16:02, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I hope one day to be an admin, but how do you actually work on articles of deletion? I mean I have had articles deleted before, but what do you actually do. I am mostly an article bulder and a vandal reverter, but I'd like to get into other projects and stuff, do you have any suggestions? Hairy Perry 16:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I get what you mean now. Is there anyway to find out the articles right now that are crrently going the the deletion process. There is one thing about the Twinkle. I have IE and it doesn't work on it, so about a vandal reverting tool, I don't know but I can do as much as I can to try to be an admn though. Plus, I have made quite a few admin friends, somaybe they can help out on what they would like to see me do. Hairy Perry 16:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I have already started, I think what I went to was Today's AFD log and saw a couple of interesting articles and a couple not so interesting, but I only commented on one which you can see in my contribs. No that wasn't me with Twinkle, but I tried to get it though, it sat in my monobook forever. Hairy Perry 17:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Its wasn't me unless I accidentally put it in there or something, well hey if it is sitting in your monobook can it still show up that you use Twinkle? Hairy Perry 17:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Well then I don't know, you must have got me mixed up with somebody else. Hairy Perry 17:37, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
No I don't have it, I've heard about it, but don't really know what it does or anything. What is rollback, because I see you have it. Hairy Perry 17:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
I have requested it, well we will see where it goes from there. Hairy Perry 17:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey Blue! Well, the only one I think of is the Mule Kick variation that he does sometimes. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 20:20, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
<--Oh, I totally agree. Too many arguments. I still work on the article, but I'm not bothered to argue over table formatting or whatever stupid topic any more. Too much effort. I prefer to put my effort into the actual article themselves. It just works better. ;) You seem to be doing good at GAN. So many reviews! ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 17:04, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

All done! -- Sabre ( talk) 08:26, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
They didn't give me rollback because they said I didn't have enough vandalism reverts and because I made a couple mistakes on an interwiki link and a ref tag error. I don't know, I guess I will just be patient and wait until I get some more experience. Hairy Perry 14:39, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Ok, will do. Thanks for all the advice you've given, Hairy Perry 15:11, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey, how's it going? I've been uploading images all last night and still have plenty more to add. If you look at the image's source, I already did crop it a bit, and it looks to be about the same size as the prior image that was in the infobox. If you add the imagesize parameter to the infobox you can adjust the size if you wish. Let me know if you need further assistance. Happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 19:56, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
I'll read it through tomorrow and generally check it out. Brianboulton ( talk) 22:17, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Remember our List of WCW World Tag Team Champions? Well I found a reliable source for the reigns, only thing is, it only sources up to the first vacation of the title in 2000 by Bischoff and Miller. We can either cite the episode for the TV results, but we also need the results for WCW PPVs, want to help and get another FL?-- S R X 00:43, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for updating the GAC template on Mike Lockwood. Unfortunately it's been too long since I've done reviews, though that is something I plan to change and I must get accustomed to the slightly different templates in use. Cheers. Nja247 ( talk • contribs) 21:48, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Heya, do you think this article is good enough for GA? Gary King ( talk) 21:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Yea, it looks good, just two things - a) Can the last paragraph be made any longer? It just a little short, and b) The last line of the third paragraph - "Though, they lost the tag team titles in July 2008." - is it really neccessary? It just makes the paragraph sound a little strange in my opinion. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 11:19, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Blue. Its fine, I know you're a busy girl. Thank you for the post-Rfa support. -- Efe ( talk) 07:04, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. I've left some notes on the Bazooka talk page referring to your review; I don't think the article is anywhere near GA standard at the moment, primarily due to a lack of info and extremely poor referencing. Skinny87 ( talk) 07:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I've been okay, I guess. How about you? No, I placed those type of messages on all of the WWE 2008 ppvs because I kind of feel I'm the updater of the PPV expansion list. I wanted to keep it up to date as possible and wanted to see if anyone was going to work on it. There is alot of 2008 WWE ppvs on that list that say up for grabs and I've been wanting to change that. Plus I was wondering if you were going to take it to GA so I could move it to the under construction section on the list. I probably will not work on a WWE ppv until I finish all of the TNA ppvs. I'm too busy in real life and on here to take up another article. So far I've got three on GAN and Lockdown at FAC. Also thanks for the luck. Plus I have about 6 more 2008 TNA ppvs to finish and the 2004 Victory Road and 2005 Against All Odds.-- Will C 23:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I notice that the FAC has stalled somewhat, with no substantial comments after my own, several days back. Have you let the reviewers who helped the article at GA and peer review know that it's at FAC? They don't always look! If you have, there's not much else you can do, but if you haven't, a carefully worded note to each might widen the discussion at FAC, and give you useful feedback so that even if the article fails, you will have a better basis for improving it. It's something I generally do when I do a FAC nomination. Think about it. Brianboulton ( talk) 17:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
I made my feelings known, but wasn't planning on doing the entire formal review. If it sits much longer, I'll do it, but if you want to do it, feel free. So long as you don't ask them to turn her article into a deodorant commercial, that is.— Kww( talk) 18:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

ThinkBlue, I would like to thank you for your participation in my recent Request for Adminship, which passed with 112 supports, 4 opposes and 5 neutrals. A special mention goes out to Stwalkerster and Pedro for nominating me, thanks a lot for having trust in me! In response to the neutrals, I will try to double check articles that have been tagged for speedy deletion before I CSD them and will start off slowly with the drama boards of ANI and AN to ensure that I get used to them. In response to the oppose !votes on my RfA, I will check that any images I use meet the non-free content criteria and will attempt to handle any disputes or queries as well as I can. If you need my help at all, feel free to simply ask at my talk page and I'll see if I can help.

Night of Champions (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which took place on June 29, 2008 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. It was the second annual event under the Night of Champions name and the eight annual event under the Vengeance/Night of Champions chronology. [4] It starred wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. [5] Like the previous year before, every match on the card was contested for a championship; three were won and five were retained.
The main event was an interpromotional match for the WWE Championship between SmackDown representative, Triple H, and Raw representative, John Cena; Triple H won and retained the championship in the match. The predominant match was also a interpromotional match for the World Heavyweight Championship between SmackDown representative, Edge, and Raw representative, Batista, which Edge won to retain the championship. The main match from the ECW brand was an interpromotional standard match involving three wrestlers for the ECW Championship, in which ECW representative, Mark Henry, defeated the champion and Raw representative, Kane, and SmackDown representative, The Big Show.
Night of Champions received 273,000 PPV buys, up from the 2007 event figure of 243,000 buys. This event helped WWE increase its PPV revenue by $21.9 million compared to the previous year's event. [6] When the event was released on DVD, it reached the fourth position on Billboard's DVD Sales Chart. The professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website rated the entire event a 7 out of 10 stars, higher and lower than the 2007 event's ratings of 5 and 7.5 out of 10.

I was delighted to see that your article is now featured, after what seems a very long FAC. I have been monitoring the page, and for a while I wondered where the reviewers were. But it all came good. I don't know if this is your first FA (it seems to be your first listed at WP:WBFAN) but I know it won't be the last. Great work. By the way, are you really only 18?

Looking at your involvement in the Good Article review of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution article, I think it is fair to guess that you were unaware of the various points of view on the topic missing from the article, and the neutrality bias problem [2] in the article. May I suggest that the GA determination be reassessed as to whether the article meets neutrality policy? Thanks. SaltyBoatr ( talk) 21:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you failed the above article becaues there'd been no activity on the article since your review. how Do You Turn This On/Amicon retired from wikipedia before your review, so that's why no changes have been made. Since the comments you made seemed to be pretty minor I thought I'd see if I could deal with them. My responses are on the talk page. I know it's unconventional since you just failed the article, but I was wondering if you could reopen the review for a couple of days while I see if I can improve it. It would save having to go through the GAC process all over again and another reviewer having to familiarise themselves with the article. Cheers, Nev1 ( talk) 22:57, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. |
I just wanted you to know that I've passed Night of Champions (2008) as a Good Article. Sorry for being so picky in the review! Thanks, Genius 101 Guestbook 01:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
The
Chronic has given you a bottle of
Cristal! Cristal costs
$350, and hopefully this bottle has made your
New Year's Day better. Spread the spirit of the New Year by giving a bottle of Cristal to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!
Give a bottle of Cristal to someone else by adding {{

Oh my, "Clocks", too. The first reviewer failed the GA. -- Efe ( talk) 23:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi ThinkBlue, I've opened a reassessment on Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 as I feel there should be greater encyclopedic information (broad coverage) within the article. I don't think it would take much work to bring it up to scratch as all the information is already out there, some of it in place on Wikipedia. But it would be worth people doing the work as the article is used as an example of a "Foo in the Eurovision Song Contest YEAR" Good Article, and it would be worth giving people something reasonably comprehensive and worthwhile to work toward.

Hello, saw you were reviewing the Daredevil film and I put it up for nom I couldn't help but see what else you've done and I have to say... I'm very impressed. I like your work, and impressed by your userpage look and name thing you've got going haha. Anyway. I'm not here to bug you about the review, just thought I'd randomly drop by, network a bit and tell you I admire what you've done. Keep it up! Excited to see your thoughts on the article =)
P.S. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Haha, and a jiffy it was! Very nicely done - can't wait to get back to work on the article. Haha y'know, it feels a shade exciting knowing you've put so much effort towards getting an article up to scratch - ultimate geekery? Haha. Ooooo I'd love to do collaborative work especially with such an experienced editor. How about you tell me your interests so we see what we can do between us? :) I see you're quite into wrasslin' - I used to love it up until a few years back - maybe I could still be of help there. Nevada girl ey? I'm a English lad myself. -- Harish ( Talk) - 17:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Haha yeah we're even, but I feel you should still owe me =P I'd agree that Coldplay are great, but I'd have to research before agreeing that they're the greatest out! Thanks for the recording label encouragement, Blue =) ...is there another name you prefer to go by? Ooo a Maggie fan eh? Interesting. I consider her one of the better actresses out there, so it's good that she gets her due on here! Oo, I see. I was going to work on the Fantastic Four film next (it's hard to find films I greatly enjoy which need work that I can do... so it's the lesser maintained superheroes I'm tackling haha), but if you're not into it we can do something else? A good way to work is find DVDs you have with plenty of production information, whose corresponding articles are rubbish (a free films article tip for ya!) Oooo cool and fun sports - do you play them all often? You don't happen to be a part-time Cali beach Volley ball chick during the summer, do ya? Sorry, it's a stereotype haha. Well if all people are as sweet as you out there then hell, bring on the Vegas baby! I've always heard good things about it there, I assume that's where you live? I'm in the lively streets of Luton, which is lovely for all four sunny weeks during the summer! -- Harish ( Talk) - 22:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY FIRST GA!!!!!! =D Oh man, how exciting! Uh... I'd like to start by thanking GOD... my parents, who are sitting at home watching reading this! Special thanks to Blue for making it happen!! My friends for their support! I'd also like to thank Father Time for giving me that spare time, and Mother Nature for making it cold enough to give me every reason not go out. Thank you so much, it's... it's beautiful =')
But seriously, thanks Blue! I also appreciate the few final date clean ups you did to it! Sorry I didn't reply earlier - assignment and exam hell began the week just gone, and I have two more of those weeks left. Hahah, I like that - taking pics of Brad Pitt and Maggie would be a GREAT idea, AND... what a sign of a true Wikipedien to do so lol. Oh sweet, I appreciate the tour guide offer I'll call that chip in with due time ;) Actually I was thinking about you a couple of days back and was thinking if you wanna collaborate then an interesting way to do so could be for you to suggest an article you want to work on as well as one I want to, and we just keep working with each other on the two articles. I dunno how you feel about that method but I'll be interested in your response. Hope all's been well you've been taking caaare! -- Harish ( Talk) - 12:04, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
What are the above for? Just telling the truth.-- Will C 00:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

It truly has! Hope your New Year was pleasurable, and its also been a while since I gave you a GAN to review. Would you mind reviewing Mount Redoubt (Alaska)? Best, ₪ Ceran →( cheer→ chime → carol) 21:41, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
The info was properly sourced, and a quick search revealed the tattoo stuff to be true (and pretty widely reported). What's the confusion? Tool2Die4 ( talk) 23:34, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi there ThinkBlue!

The Good Article Collaboration Center has been restarted, and since you are a member, we are asking for your help in making the articles Seinfeld, Sarah Palin, and President of the United States good articles. We hope to see you there. Cheers. -- LAA Fan sign review 19:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC) |
I guess you didn't have time to get around the ECW Tag Title list? In addition, I recommend getting an archival bot for your talk page.-- Tr uc o 02:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Dear ThinkBlue,
In response to edit of John Cena's finishing move, The STFU, I changed the move to STF as this is what its now being referred to by the WWE. I did not leave a source last time which meant that you believed that my edit counted as vandalism.
Here is my source to back up the John Cena move name change:

This editor is starting to become an issue. He inserts non-free use images and continues to force image size in infoboxes despite my having explained it. Just a heads-up. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 01:28, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I actually was fast this time ;)—could you review Glacier Peak? It'll almost complete my quest for a good topic. Ceran → → 22:51, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
