York ParkI don't agree here with Brian either. I certainly don't agree that it's "clumsy". Thanks for your comments :) Aaroncrick (talk) Review me! 22:42, 18 November 2009 (UTC) An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Gaza Strip). 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 Wikipedia:Notability and "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(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (Gaza Strip). 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. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC) Co-nom?Hey, I've given Donnie a second nom.[1] I invite you to sign as a co-nom given the work you've done. All the best, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 16:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC) Hi! HJ and I were discussing The Bill tonight. I think the general consensus is that we're going to try and narrow down the live episodes to 2 or 3 sentences per episode. Do you have any other suggestions for the episodes section as neither of us are really too sure how to proceed next with this. --5 albert square (talk) 23:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
OK, i've been back. I've made a long-ish list of detailed queries at the GA talk page, but i hope they aren't too significant in terms of volume of work. I think we're nearly there for GA. hamiltonstone (talk) 03:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC) Hi, that;'s good to hear! I'm sure you'll be sick of The Bill by the time we're done! I've added a small paragraph to the episodes section and I'm going to rework the stuff about the live episodes- as I discussed with 5asq, I don't think we need that level of detail on 2 episodes out of several thousand and most of the information as it is is plot summary. Anyway, I just stopped by to sayu thanks for the copyediting, you caught a few points that I'd missed previously. Best, HJMitchell You rang? 03:55, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Hey, would a discussion board work for a reference. The Bill used to go out on RTÉ One for half an hour at 5:30 Monday to Friday, all hour longs edited into half hours?????? IrishTV (talk) 16:46, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

ANI NotificationsDear Hamiltonstone, I just wanted to drop you a kind note and let you know that you forgot to inform Peter C Jones that you opened an WP:ANI thread about him. Don't worry! I've take care of it. Just wanted to gently remind you to make sure to do so when and if you open a new ANI thread in the future. Thanks! Basket of Puppies 04:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Grecian UrnI have just reworked the lead - balancing info, making it more precise and removing redundancies. Hopefully that fixes some of the errors in the new version. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:45, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Quick questionHi Hamiltonstone. Sorry to trouble you again! At The Bill review page, you asked if there was a ref for the number of episodes. Having googled every combination I can think of, the best I've come up with is, alas, IMDb, which has a list of episodes. Would this, do you think, be acceptable? Also, how precise do you think it's necessary to be with the figure (IMDb says it's 2371 but this changes every week) since it's still being broadcast. Thanks a lot, HJMitchell You rang? 21:16, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
How does this...?Most homes that fell in the stricken area were traditional, comprised of local resources such as mud, adobe, and brick. The walls of the buildings, typically between 40 and 50 centimeters wide, were unresistant to the earthquake, and, for the most part, collapsed. An oddity occurred, however, where several of these homes fared better than structurally engineered ones. Further study has yielded that various factors might have contributed to this event, possibly the height to width ratio, the fact that there were little to no windows in the homes, and the quality of the materials used.[1] Starting out on this... ceranthor 16:22, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Em-dashes on Wilson TuckeyHi. Your recent edit to the Wilson Tuckey article replaced all the en-dashes between dates with em-dashes. I'm a reasonably inexperienced editor, so I may be missing something here, but my reading of WP:ENDASH suggests that en-dashes should be used between dates, not em-dashes. I've put en-dashes back between the dates, but if I've missed something, feel free to change it back and let me know. Otherwise, perhaps there is a bug in the script you used. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lear's Fool (talk • contribs) 15:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
in re: Campus PrideHi, thanks for helping with this article. Are you still adding to it becasue we accidentially just tried to update and save at the same tims resulting in my changes being "blown-away". If you are, perhaps I could go and upload it's logo while you are editing? CyntWorkStuff (talk) 04:08, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
I've just listed this article in peer review and would greatly appreciate your input. It's already GA but am hoping to eventually get it to FAC. Thanks! Jonyungk (talk) 20:39, 4 December 2009 (UTC) I've read this article through a couple of times since seeing it listed on peer review. It is excellent—very well-written and informative. My only challenge in writing about it on PR is that I'm finding very little to criticize. Please take that as a compliment. I want to read the article through a couple of more times before giving detailed feedback, but I wanted to let you know that you've really done a great job. Jonyungk (talk) 19:29, 5 December 2009 (UTC) Just to say thanks!

While I agree that Jmabel has done some impressive work there, it was discussed at WT:DYK#Andalusia and I don't think there was consensus for promoting it. In addition, the article currently has a maintenance tag and should have another for neutrality, as I noted. It can't sit at the end of the page forever, but I would prefer for it not to be featured on the Main Page in this state - regrettably. Ucucha 02:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Prop 8Gee, I agree with you about the categorization, and you respond by trying to remove my substantive edit? :) Seriously, I appreciate your willingness to discuss instead of immediately reverting, and I look forward to a civil exchange of views on the talk page.

Bristol Bus Boycott, 1963Thank you for your kind words, do you know, I think I will hunt down some pictures and have a crack at FA. Jezhotwells (talk) 09:38, 6 January 2010 (UTC) Can you do me a favour...And fix whatever might be missing on Walter of Coutances? I don't think it got listed on the Good Articles page... and then, if I might beg of you, a "fuller" review of anything that doesn't look right? He's important enough to go to FAC, and I'd prefer to have rigorous reviews along the way. Ealdgyth - Talk 02:29, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Julian Michael ClarkeThank you for your corrections to the Murder of Keith William Allan entry. The likelihood of a standalone entry for Cavkic and Athanasi is presently remote, but the possibility exists that Clarke could in the future if new revelations about him occur. I can't see a standalone article at the moment though. There's no point in a red entry at this stage, as you correctly pointed out. Best wishes Carola56 (talk) 10:39, 8 January 2010 (UTC) International Space StationThanks for trailing behind and fixing my mistakes. This is why a knowledge of the subject is necessary for a good copyedit. Think it's best for me to bail out now. Thanks. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 17:40, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

AutoconfirmedPer this request I have granted you the autoreviewer flag. Cheers, Tiptoety talk 06:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC) Adminship?I was—to use the cliche—surprised that you are not an admin, and think you'll make a great one. I found in your talk archives (User talk:Hamiltonstone/Archive 5#Notification) that you said you weren't yet interested a few months ago. You brought up the fact that you don't work a lot in admin areas, but admin tools can in fact be useful in many ways even when you're not a vandal fighter: you can carry out uncontroversial moves over redirects when needed, perhaps block some vandals you encounter, delete pages for maintenance when needed, and edit the DYK queues and templates, among other things that come up from time to time. Recently, the community has overwhelmingly supported candidates who similarly focus on content creation and review, including (me and right now WP:Requests for adminship/Rlendog). Please let me know what you think, and I'd be happy to nominate you if you agree to that. Best, Ucucha 10:17, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Bristol PRHi, thanks for your comment. I have now closed the discussion and will work on what Rod has suggested before bringing it back to PR. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:13, 17 January 2010 (UTC) Hi and thanksJust wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks for keeping a level head with the Colitis-X article and DYK drama when I was not feeling particularly level-headed. VERY long history with myself and the other editor, and, partly due to said past history, this was the first substantive new article I had created in almost a year. When she appeared, I just about lost it, and I appreciate that others did not. Lar also needs an atta-boy, as I needed someone who understood what's been going on to step in. So thanks. Montanabw(talk) 06:14, 17 January 2010 (UTC) Hi there. Since you are part of the Canberra WP, and are interested in Aboriginal topics, can you have a look at the article or at least the indigenous info in there. I am having trouble tracking down refs for the exisitng info. Thanks YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 01:01, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Welcome Comments ReplyThanks for your comments. The article you removed has not been otherwise published, though during writing it did receive feedback from several constructive artists, including Peter Lowe and Jeffrey Steele. Incidently Jeffrey should have a wikipedia page (maybe a project I can take on?). Having read the articles you directed me to, however, I agree that the topic is not close enough to the material. I do have a question however. As you say blogs are discouraged as a reference. However, they are increasingly becoming a way for academics to publish some of their work. I am not sure how they then differ from a webpage on the topic. It is an unfortunate fact that much of the academic literature is still behind a paywall (the two obvious journals for an article on the links between Constructivist art and Maths certainly are). As you did not take down all the links you obviously appreciate this, but I am curious as to where you feel the line lies and why there is a bias against blogs over webpages alone. best wishes and thanks Gelada Baboon (talk) 00:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I've been recently reminded myself of how frustrating it can be to include images in an article and the hoops through which you have to jump to keep them in by the time you reach FAC.
