Why? Some teams have the - (hyphen) and some ones have the – (en dash). It is not correct: we should gain homogeneity. --Almicione (talk) 19:12, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Just an understanding earIf you thought my GA review on 1973 Kentucky Derby was tough, grab your popcorn and watch what I'm having to do on my current GAN =:-O . It's all good, I keep telling myself it's all good. But do you know of a synonym for "satellite DNA biomarkers? LOL! Talk:Ann T. Bowling/GA1. (Yes, I'm whining.

Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:01, 11 June 2016 (UTC) Example of entry feesHey, as you are working on the horse racing articles, wanted to show you this: [1] (which hopefully will still be the link to the PP card for today's Belmont by the time you see this). It's a great example to show what people actually pay to enter a big horse race, to wit: "By subscription of $600 each, to accompany the nomination, if made on or before January 16, 2016, or $6,000, if made on or before March 21, 2016. At any time prior to the closing time of entries, horses may be nominated to The Belmont Stakes upon payment of a supplementary fee of $75,000 to the New York Racing Association, Inc. $15,000 to pass the entry box and $15,000 additional to start." So in other words, while it might look like entrants pay $15,000 to start, they actually paid somewhere from $30,600 to $105,000 to start, depending on whether they nominated them as 2-year-olds or not... Montanabw(talk) 19:28, 11 June 2016 (UTC) '73 PreaknessBecause I dabbled in that article, I shouldn't review it. But if it is languishing in the queue without a reviewer, ping me at my talk page, I can probably get one of the folks who has done quality reviews for me in the past to go over and look at it, I'm quite enthusiastic about your project and would be delighted to assist in any way I can. Montanabw(talk) 01:54, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
PingThe Preakness GA finally got a reviewer, who put it on hold, for some reason, your talk page wasn't pinged (nor did I spot it). But I addressed the concerns the reviewer raised, all minor so far. But you may want to pop over there: [2] Montanabw(talk) 03:00, 6 September 2016 (UTC) DYK for 1973 Belmont StakesOn 4 November 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 1973 Belmont Stakes, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

I think your source is better than the original source, but I found another source that gives the top 5 for this classification, and it agrees to the original numbers... I'll try to see if I can find out which one is more reliable. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 20:59, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
1957 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship GameHello: The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article 1957 NCAA University Division Basketball Championship Game has been completed. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. One sentence jumped out at me: "McGuire's starting line up, and most of the roster, consisted primarily of players from New York state." Is this significant, or simply a coincidence? It seems odd to me to mention it if it wasn't significant, but If it was simply a coincidence, part of the sentence should likely read, "and coincidentally, most of the roster". Best of luck with your on-going efforts to have the article promoted to FA status. Regards, Twofingered Typist (talk) 14:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Team divisionsJust letting you know that the team divisions in the 1962 Tour de France were unique for that edition, so not sure that the Giros should use it unless it was a thing. BaldBoris 23:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
GA process for Yoga pantsHi, I was surprised to see what happened to my GA nomination of this article. For some reason I wasn't notified at all on my talk page, so all I got was the one word "fail" in an edit comment on the article's talk page, not exactly a great welcome first thing in the morning. I am accustomed to working through GA review comments with reviewers, sometimes for a week or more. None of your comments seem particularly difficult or serious, in the sense that a few hours' work could not sort them out. Quick fail is generally reserved for articles that are grossly uncited, absurdly uninformative, or fail to cover several major aspects of the subject; I'd not agree that any of those apply here, on what is a relatively straightforward topic, and I'd certainly like to have had the opportunity to discuss the way ahead. I'll work through your suggestions now and (if you wish) consult you on progress. Personally I find the best way to do this is to have a GAN open so the comments and replies are kept in a place that everyone can find (rather than on editor's talk pages or whatever). So from my perspective it would be best to open a GAN rather soon, but I'm happy to wait until I've responded to all the existing suggestions. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:23, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

CyclingHey! I see that you are not as active as you used to be, which is a shame, I've always appreciated your work on cycling related articles, now it seems like I am the only one still grinding away at it :) If you have the time, I plan to enter some of my Good Articles for Featured Article and in the past, I have struggled with getting participation in the process. So if you would have the time to look into them once they are nominated, it would be very much appreciated! Zwerg Nase (talk) 09:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
