User talk:Epbr123/Archive 3RfAHi, Epbr123. As one of the participants in the RfA, I just wanted to let you know that I meant the positive things I said about your Wiki-activity, and I think that the negative things I pointed out can be remedied in the future. You are an excellent and very dedicated editor. I value your advice in GA/FA, and hope I may be able to ask for your help in this area again. We all need breaks now and then, and any editor who has worked as long and hard here as you have, and who has undergone as contentious a reviewing as you have just undergone has certainly earned one. I wish you well, hope you come back with renewed energy. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 19:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC) Dear Epbr123As you know, the GA and FA processes benefit enormously from your help and participation, and quality will degrade without you. I fully understand your decision to withdraw for a bit, and there is no need for an RfA to ever become as intense and personal as yours did. I've seen it before, I hate the RfA process for that very reason, I'm sorry it happened to you. Please take solace in the number (and importantly, the names) of those who supported you, and please return to us soon, after a well deserved break. More than 60 respected Wikipedians supported your candidacy; I hope that means something to you in spite of the outcome. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC) Hi Epbr, I just wanted to second Sandy's comments. I generally don't ever visit the RfA world because it all-too-often degenerates into a forum for people to hash out old grudges again. I made an exception when I found out that you were nominated because I do respect your work. Your leave extremely valuable comments at FAC, and we will definitely miss your contributions. I hope you're just going to take a nice break to remember what is really valuable - an appreciation of yourself for who you are, a good attitude, and a sense of humor (to deal with those who haven't mastered the good attitude part). If you're having trouble with the good attitude part right now, I highly recommend ice cream and/or brownies. It's hard to be anything but happy with a mouth full of deliciousness ;) I hope we see you again soon! Karanacs (talk) 17:56, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Hi, I just noticed your semi-retirement. Like those above, I feel that Wikipedia will be worse off without your contributions. Although I opposed the nomination, I do have a great deal of respect for the work you've done. The RFA definitely became a bit of a piling-on, and I know that's gotta suck. At any rate -- I hope my comments did not come off as reflecting any disrespect for the excellent work you do, and I hope to see you again around the wiki. -Pete (talk) 00:17, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Edmund Patrick ( confer work) 13:25, 15 March 2008 (UTC) Peer review ideaHi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog. There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average). If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC) I'm curious why you changed "400" to "four hundred".

Epbr, are you interested in running through Bette Davis? She might be on the mainpage on the 5th for her 100th birthday, and the main author is on Wikibreak now.

All the best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC) attack pagesI noticed that you tagged Joel Gluss for deletion as a A7. While this was completely correct it would have been more correct to label it as an attack page. I don't know about other admins, but I often just look in the subcategory Category:Attack pages for speedy deletion because they are more serious. By labeling it as an attack page you draw more attention to it and (hopefully) it will be dealt with sooner. thanks. Jon513 (talk) 22:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Shalini Ganendra An editor has nominated Shalini Ganendra, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shalini Ganendra and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Porterjoh (talk) 12:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC) The reason I declined the speedy Porterjoh was because it wasn't a candidate for speedy deletion -particularly when there was also a Slovene wikipedia link to the equivalent. Whenever I see somebody continously reverting it and adding a speedy delete tag, it appears to be there isn't good faith involved, if it had been tagged as an afd/lfd I wouldn't have removed it; it can get particularly frustrating to me that my course of editing, which ALWAYS is intended to serve some purpose to improve wikipedia in the long term is being halted. No hard feelings, but in future perhaps you could ask the editor of the article you place a speedy tag on it why they think it constitutes an encyclopedia article.

I hope it's OK to respond here (I'll link this reply from my RfA page). From one or two of the comments I feel there may be a little confusion regarding my AfD and vandal-fighting contributions. Unfortunately for me, I don't think my recent edit history gives the full picture :P I was much more active in these areas last year, before becoming involved in the GA sweep and the FA-Team - if you check back through my contribs, this page is a fair sample of my activity in both areas. I hope this goes some way to addressing your concerns. All the best, EyeSerenetalk 18:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC) Re: My RfAI appreciate you nominating me. If nothing else, it was a learning experience and hopefully I'll become a better editor for it, as some of the opposes did raise some genuine issues. I am disappointed in the number of people who opposed me in whole or part based on the userbox despite the IfD I quoted as evidence I'm not biased against Christian articles. To me, such reasoning reveals more bias on the part of the person making the accusation than it does on my part. :) Cheers! Redfarmer (talk) 16:12, 9 April 2008 (UTC) New Pages

One more queryI went through the MoS things in your user page. Extremely great! One question. The "past" and the "last" thing. What is teh difference? For example, in teh Preity Zinta article, you changed "last decade" to "past decade" (which I now see, has been changed to "last" again by User:Shshshsh). So far as I understand, last decade means the last calender decade. For example, as of now, the last decade is 1991–2000. On the other hand, past decade means the preceding ten years. Foe example, 1998–2007 constitute the past decade of 2008. Am I correct in interpreting?--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I know of no such place and the OS map reference gives a blank on the OS map of the area (I know the small valley indicated). There is certainly no village of that name in southern Gwynedd. A farmhouse or inn maybe? Plenty of Welsh place names begin with Cadair - Cadair Idris/Cader Idris is a well-known mountain in that area. Anyway, to the best of my knowledge there is no village of that name, large or small, in Gwynedd. I've scoured several detailed maps for the general area, going by the location on the "Cadair" article's map and the grid reference, but again can find nothing to indicate it as a location of note or any other feature.

Hi! Would you be so kind to check the Strapping Young Lad article, if it has any MoS problems? It is currently a FAC, your help would be appreciated. Thanks! Gocsa (talk) 09:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC) News! Tag & Assess 2008 is coming ...Milhist's new drive – Tag & Assess 2008 – goes live on April 25 and you are cordially invited to participate. This time, the task is housekeeping. As ever, there are awards galore, plus there's a bit of friendly competition built-in, with a race for bronze, silver and gold wikis! You can sign up, in advance, here. I look forward to seeing you on the drive page! All the best, --ROGER DAVIES talk 11:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
You've been volunteered...Epbr, I have a nomination at FAC, Interstate 70 in Utah. Though the article has been reviewed by several editors, grammatical errors are still being found. One of the reviewers at FAC has suggested that I ask you to look at the article, as a skilled editor. I see this same reviewer has volunteered your services to several other nominations as well, so I don't know how much time you have. Still, if you have a moment, I would be most grateful. The errors being found are minor, so I would hope it wouldn't take too much time. Thanks in advance for any help.Dave (talk) 16:03, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I do "volunteer" Epbr's time quite often; barnstars are in order for all Epbr123 does to help the featured article process. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

This overwhelming use of unreferenced tags is in no way positive when you don't use them where it's necessary. What about doing this: Check what's links to the page, what kind of iw's it has and if there is anything in the article that is controversial. If you, after doing this, still doubt the facts, you can add a {{fact}} on the facts you doubt. {{unreferenced}} is already far to much used on en.wiki compared to other wikis, and hasn't helped doing your wiki any better. What about using them where it's really necessary? --EivindJ (talk) 20:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
RfA thanksThanks for supporting my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I was very pleased to receive such strong support and to hear so many nice comments from editors whom I respect. I’ll do my best with the tools, and if you ever see me going astray don’t hesitate to drop a note on my talk page. Thanks again for your support!--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the RfA support...Hello, and thanks for your kind words on my RfA.

Copyedit request for Call of Duty 4: Modern WarfareI am requesting a copyedit for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The FAC for the article is asking for "a thorough copyedit is needed by an uninvolved editor, meaning someone outside the "club" of regular editors on this article. Attention is needed to simple grammar, comma usage, voice, unnecessarily wordy clauses, and other matters." So, I am coming to you and asking to take a look. If you have time, I'd appreciate it, thanks! Also, the FAC can be found at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Gary King (talk) 20:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Angelica BellaAngelica won the Best European Actress award at the 1993 Hot D'Or[5] in Cannes. However finding reliable sources for a much older european (French) award would be difficult.

Leivick (talk) 21:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC) Passive voice from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessIf you have got time, could you take a look at The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to fix sentences that use the passive voice but obscure the subject? It's at FAC right now and that is the major issue being brought up: "Check for passive voice that eliminates or obscures the subjects." and "In general, the article relies far too heavily on the passive." I would prefer a second pair of eyes look at the article since I'm far too familiar with the content by now to be as effective copyediting for the passive voice when I already know what the intended subjects are for verbs. Gary King (talk) 17:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC) Pre-FAC question for MoS checkHi, Epbr123. Believe it or not, this has nothing to do with your RfB comments

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Rfb participation thanksHello, Epbr123. I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats. As you felt the need to oppose my candidacy, I would appreciate any particular thoughts or advice you may have as to what flaws in my candidacy you perceived and how you feel they may be addressed. Once again, thank you for your participation, and a special thank you for your help on Abbey Mills Mosque which is up on WP:FAC now. -- Avi (talk) 20:15, 12 May 2008 (UTC) ThanksThanks for the quick revert on my talk page. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC) WBOSITG's RfAMy RfAHi Epbr123; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 21:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC) Thanks also for considering to nominate me!

A queryHi! Can you please help me in this query. Is there a non-breaking space between the dollar sign and the numerical figure following it? I guess it is needed. But, wanted to clarify.

Logical quotationHi, Epbr123, and thanks for your recent cleanup of Master Juba. However, I am confused by your changes in several of the quotations. It's my understanding that punctuation goes inside the quotation marks when the punctuation is part of the material quoted. But you seem to have changed all punctuation to the outside of the quotation marks without regard to what the original looked like. Am I misreading the guidelines on logical quotations? Thanks, — Dulcem (talk) 23:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Kate BushI've cut out a lot of excess detail in Kate Bush. The majority of it is details about songs and albums that are probably better suited for those individual pages rather than the main Kate Bush article. You could easily take the material that's been removed and use it to improve a number of Bush song and album articles rather quickly. I'e left some details in because I either could not figure out how to summarize them, or wanted to cut something out but wasn't sure if by cutting it out I would accidentally remove a source for something else.

If you can support it with refernces then that is OK, but the text books I have looked at (and I lecture on this type of thing) all support the view that it is an unsteady flow phenomenon due to Newton's second law. You cannot apply Bernoulli's equation in this case. Also the bit about work energy is correct, but unhelpful. I can get Dr Tijselling to look at it if you want.
