Thank you for your vote/comment
There have been changes to the article and some further discussion of the issues. Any further comments you have on whether the article now meets the criteria or not would be welcome. Geometry guy 13:05, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Talk:Han Dynasty says that it is part of a good topic, but that is entirely false. It is part of a featured topic. What happened here?-- Pericles of Athens Talk 18:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! Apart from putting the FT/FTA in the wrong logs (see my contributions. The FT log vs GT log distinction appears pointless seeing as how the latter transcludes the former, but it's for the bot that does WP:FT2009), you got it all right, which is impressive! Extremely helpful.
Now, imagine how long it takes to promote a 25-article topic, fetching the oldids for each of those articles as you go... rst20xx ( talk) 19:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
I would suggest we get Masem to run the Smash Hits peer review immediately, and then do the promotion with that article included once the peer review has completed. Peer reviews only take 10 days so we may as well keep things nice and clean and let it happen like that - rst20xx ( talk) 19:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
About Warmachine and Category:Steampunk games. The category seems to be inherited from Iron Kingdoms. That is logical, but still we need a source or some text to link the two articles in respect with this category. Can you help with this?

Thanks for doing promotions on featured topics.

I'd like to start a new article about a LGBT artist. The only problem is a lot of the press I have on them is in actual magazines. How does one prove notability if a lot of the person's press (40%?) is in actual gay publications/magazines not online press. What would you suggest I do? Thanks. Swancookie ( talk) 21:42, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about that revert, I didn't take the time to read properly. Just saw the line 'Chinese mythology has been described as "rich in stories about homosexuality"', and thought it was vandalism, just then saw what I had reverted. Sadly, a lot of additions including the word 'homosexuality' or 'gay' are vandalism. Sorry again, my mistake! -- NathanoNL [ usr | msg | log ] 09:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm watching the GAR so I'll pop in when necessary. The discussion there seems to be far more constructive than what was said at the GAN and at WT:WPM, so I'll leave it be for now. If this GAR manages to help improve the article, then I'm happy. Gary King ( talk) 15:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Yobmod, thank you for your edit to the article. I have to point out however that one of the categories you restored is "1939 births", although the article now states Isay was born in 1934. Personally I would tread very carefully here, as this is a possible BLP issue. Born Gay ( talk) 20:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on my talk page. As usual, forces far beyond the actual issues in the article are clouding any improvements that should be made. If you would like to chime in on the article talk page about how to make it clearer in the lead that Feldman is the primary researcher in this field, please feel free. I did not include his name in the lead because it's a pretty short article already and it seemed repetitive to me. But I'm willing to clarify anything that needs to be clarified. Add any other suggestions you have there. Thank you. -- Moni3 ( talk) 10:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I will love to help in terms of bringing the Hindu side of the story, including suggestions on myths and countering any bias or faulty interpretations by bringing in other POVs dr neutrality. About Mahabharata, I am said "after the GAR (not when the GAR is in progress) ends, I will initiate a revamp taking all the points on GAR into consideration". About the main LGBT and mythology article, you need to shorten the Hindu section as a main article is present, someone may object to its length and call it a case of WP:UNDUE importance. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 13:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for looking at the page, I was wondering if anyone was going to say anything about it.
Thank you for the idea on the regions, I was thinking about making pages for the activities in each region seperately, but currently I don't have enough information. I am torn: if I use a number of their own publications, I would be able to construct very thorough information on their activites and countries they were involved in; however, if I do that, that may create a really strong bias favouring IFES or opposition from other editors, that I am favouring IFES, etc. What is your opinion?

Are you interested in creating article Ila with me and then going for a joint DYk. You already have references for Ila, used in LBGT and Hindu mythology article, but more detail is needed for article on Ila than that in LBGT and Hindu mythology article. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 04:29, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
(Outdent). sounds good to me. Did you see that this was recently created?: Ila (Hinduism). The version we work on counts as a five-time expansion though. Yob Mod 09:17, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Conner and Sparks write that the link to Ardhanarishvara gives LGBT people in mythology magical connotations. [1]
I've looked at if for at least 10 minutes total, and I have no idea how to parse it.
I guess this means: Connotations are to be drawn (I guess) about LGBT people in mythology (I suppose) due to some link (I'm not quite sure what) between them and Ardhanarishvara (Maybe??) and the connotations are ? Magical?
Help? -- Nemonoman ( talk) 12:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
As a stand-alone sentence it is confusing, and I have deleted it. Your explanation suggests a better understanding than the sentence delivers, and I hope you'll write the fuller-explanation paragraph. I'm betting you can cite it too. I think you are doing good holding back on edits during these GA edits. Nvineeth(sp?) seems pretty tuned in, and I think I'm doing some good by working over some of the sentences; many of them get awfully dense. Watching us beat up your good work this way would be a lot like watching sausage get made: Not recommended and you're smart not too watch the blow-by-blow -- but the final product should be acceptable; and if not you can revise it.
Hang in there and stay frosty -- this is very close to GA.
NEW ITEM: Same-sex sexual interactions occur, usually with ritualistic overtones, - what are ritualistic overtones?-- Nemonoman ( talk) 15:36, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
During this period, Ila married Budha (the god of the planet Mercury), who did not tell his wife of her alternate existence as a man.
Who didn't tell whom what? Whose wife is whose?-- Nemonoman ( talk) 16:47, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Also: Both Valmiki's Ramayana and the Rig Veda tell the story of Ila...
In the Ramayana version, Ila bore Budha a son although in the Mahabarata...
Is Mahabarata or Rig Veda a confusion for the other version here? Is the story in Ramayana, rig veda AND mahabarata?
I'm posting here because you say you're not watching LGBT Themes... But some of this info should probably be added to that page ...or I can mention that I'm seeking clarifications here. I understand your desire to stay frosty and away from the action, but this info should be seen by other editors, IMO.-- Nemonoman ( talk) 17:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
I saw the edit you did to Freddie Mercury's article (removing the instrument list). I mostly agree with you, but could we discuss some of it on Freddie's talk page?-- Greg D. Barnes ( talk) 04:06, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
I have had a go at editing this article for clarity. Others have made an effort to improve facts, POV, etc. I have reviewed it versus GA criteria and I find that is GA quality. You can see my assessment here. I'll wait for others to comment before taking final action. My hat's off to you -- a good article on an unusual theme. Since you've taken yourself out of the loop, I'll be happy at any later time to discuss what I edited and why. -- Nemonoman ( talk) 15:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Can you confirm that Connor and Sparks ref describes Agni accepting Shiva's semen. The Encyclopedia Britanica article describes the "seed" as deposited in "the fire", so it's easy for me to confirm that this is not OR, but if I suppose it's right to assure that the citation provides the reference. -- Nemonoman ( talk) 17:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
The recently added citation needed tag appears to question if Agni accepted Shiva's semen. Is this in Connor or Sparks? Or do you have an alternate reference. You seem to be Johnny-on-the-spot. -- Nemonoman ( talk) 17:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello again Yobmod. it's been a while, but I've finally finished polishing Awards and nominations of William Gibson, and am about to nominate it at WP:FLC. With respect to your initial idea of developing a template for SF authors awards pages, the Gibson list uses roughly the same set up as your List of awards and nominations received by Geoff Ryman, except that each section of the Gibson list contains an inline citation covering all the information contained therein. If you'd like to take another look, I'd be interested in any thoughts you might have. Regards, Skomorokh 03:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Yobmod! I just remembered this old discussion where you gave some useful comments on organizing articles and lists of National Treasures of Japan. In the meantime, two lists have made it to featured status, one list is a featured list candidate and the overview article National Treasures of Japan is a good article candidate. National Treasures of Japan basically has the Lists of National Treasures of Japan in it, so this list is not really needed anymore. I wonder if you could help with getting rid of that list, since I don't really know how. bamse ( talk) 19:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I know that it's a long time ago, but on the day you first assembled the article on Erotes, in the revision 11:36, 7 July 2009, you introduced two references to "Younger". They were <<Younger, p. 45, "Eros/Cupid">> and <<Younger, p. 40, "Desire">>. They came to my attention while consolidating citations in the article. Apparently, a source reference for them has never existed in the article. If it's a reference still on your bookshelf, or that might have been in some other article, I would be grateful if your replaced my snippy "citation needed" complaint, in the "|refs=" part of the "Reference" section with the source. 107.242.121.38 ( talk) 10:42, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Sadly, a lot of additions including the word 'homosexuality' or 'gay' are vandalism. Sorry again, my mistake! -- NathanoNL [ usr | msg | log ] 09:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm watching the GAR so I'll pop in when necessary. The discussion there seems to be far more constructive than what was said at the GAN and at WT:WPM, so I'll leave it be for now. If this GAR manages to help improve the article, then I'm happy. Gary King ( talk) 15:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Yobmod, thank you for your edit to the article. I have to point out however that one of the categories you restored is "1939 births", although the article now states Isay was born in 1934. Personally I would tread very carefully here, as this is a possible BLP issue. Born Gay ( talk) 20:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on my talk page. As usual, forces far beyond the actual issues in the article are clouding any improvements that should be made. If you would like to chime in on the article talk page about how to make it clearer in the lead that Feldman is the primary researcher in this field, please feel free. I did not include his name in the lead because it's a pretty short article already and it seemed repetitive to me. But I'm willing to clarify anything that needs to be clarified. Add any other suggestions you have there. Thank you. -- Moni3 ( talk) 10:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I will love to help in terms of bringing the Hindu side of the story, including suggestions on myths and countering any bias or faulty interpretations by bringing in other POVs dr neutrality. About Mahabharata, I am said "after the GAR (not when the GAR is in progress) ends, I will initiate a revamp taking all the points on GAR into consideration". About the main LGBT and mythology article, you need to shorten the Hindu section as a main article is present, someone may object to its length and call it a case of WP:UNDUE importance. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 13:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the idea on the regions, I was thinking about making pages for the activities in each region seperately, but currently I don't have enough information. I am torn: if I use a number of their own publications, I would be able to construct very thorough information on their activites and countries they were involved in; however, if I do that, that may create a really strong bias favouring IFES or opposition from other editors, that I am favouring IFES, etc. What is your opinion?

Conner and Sparks write that the link to Ardhanarishvara gives LGBT people in mythology magical connotations. [1]
I've looked at if for at least 10 minutes total, and I have no idea how to parse it.
I guess this means: Connotations are to be drawn (I guess) about LGBT people in mythology (I suppose) due to some link (I'm not quite sure what) between them and Ardhanarishvara (Maybe??) and the connotations are ? Magical?
Help? -- Nemonoman ( talk) 12:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
As a stand-alone sentence it is confusing, and I have deleted it. Your explanation suggests a better understanding than the sentence delivers, and I hope you'll write the fuller-explanation paragraph. I'm betting you can cite it too. I think you are doing good holding back on edits during these GA edits. Nvineeth(sp?) seems pretty tuned in, and I think I'm doing some good by working over some of the sentences; many of them get awfully dense. Watching us beat up your good work this way would be a lot like watching sausage get made: Not recommended and you're smart not too watch the blow-by-blow -- but the final product should be acceptable; and if not you can revise it.
Hang in there and stay frosty -- this is very close to GA.

During this period, Ila married Budha (the god of the planet Mercury), who did not tell his wife of her alternate existence as a man.
Who didn't tell whom what? Whose wife is whose?-- Nemonoman ( talk) 16:47, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Also: Both Valmiki's Ramayana and the Rig Veda tell the story of Ila...
In the Ramayana version, Ila bore Budha a son although in the Mahabarata...
Is Mahabarata or Rig Veda a confusion for the other version here? Is the story in Ramayana, rig veda AND mahabarata?
I'm posting here because you say you're not watching LGBT Themes... But some of this info should probably be added to that page ...or I can mention that I'm seeking clarifications here. I understand your desire to stay frosty and away from the action, but this info should be seen by other editors, IMO.-- Nemonoman ( talk) 17:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I have had a go at editing this article for clarity. Others have made an effort to improve facts, POV, etc. I have reviewed it versus GA criteria and I find that is GA quality. You can see my assessment here. I'll wait for others to comment before taking final action. My hat's off to you -- a good article on an unusual theme. Since you've taken yourself out of the loop, I'll be happy at any later time to discuss what I edited and why. -- Nemonoman ( talk) 15:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
Can you confirm that Connor and Sparks ref describes Agni accepting Shiva's semen. The Encyclopedia Britanica article describes the "seed" as deposited in "the fire", so it's easy for me to confirm that this is not OR, but if I suppose it's right to assure that the citation provides the reference. -- Nemonoman ( talk) 17:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
The recently added citation needed tag appears to question if Agni accepted Shiva's semen. Is this in Connor or Sparks? Or do you have an alternate reference. You seem to be Johnny-on-the-spot. -- Nemonoman ( talk) 17:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello again Yobmod. it's been a while, but I've finally finished polishing Awards and nominations of William Gibson, and am about to nominate it at WP:FLC. With respect to your initial idea of developing a template for SF authors awards pages, the Gibson list uses roughly the same set up as your List of awards and nominations received by Geoff Ryman, except that each section of the Gibson list contains an inline citation covering all the information contained therein. If you'd like to take another look, I'd be interested in any thoughts you might have. Regards, Skomorokh 03:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Yobmod! I just remembered this old discussion where you gave some useful comments on organizing articles and lists of National Treasures of Japan. In the meantime, two lists have made it to featured status, one list is a featured list candidate and the overview article National Treasures of Japan is a good article candidate. National Treasures of Japan basically has the Lists of National Treasures of Japan in it, so this list is not really needed anymore. I wonder if you could help with getting rid of that list, since I don't really know how. bamse ( talk) 19:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I know that it's a long time ago, but on the day you first assembled the article on Erotes, in the revision 11:36, 7 July 2009, you introduced two references to "Younger". They were <<Younger, p. 45, "Eros/Cupid">> and <<Younger, p. 40, "Desire">>. They came to my attention while consolidating citations in the article. Apparently, a source reference for them has never existed in the article. If it's a reference still on your bookshelf, or that might have been in some other article, I would be grateful if your replaced my snippy "citation needed" complaint, in the "|refs=" part of the "Reference" section with the source. 107.242.121.38 ( talk) 10:42, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
