Organized Labour

Hi Scartol, welcome to the Labour Project. Nice work on the Cripple Creek strike. I think your userbox looks great, and you should consider transfering it to the {{User OrgLabour}}. I don't think you have to worry too much about stepping on toes with either the 'box or the {{Labor}} tag. IMO you're doing it exactly right by talking about it first - but I'm sure you'll find people are pretty relaxed at the project (and not always very talkative!)

Template:BalzacFooter

Hi Scartol. Thanks for your message at my talkpage. I left a message for you at Template talk:BalzacFooter. Just wanted to mention that in case you did not notice. --David Göthberg 01:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

speedy deletes

“

I'd like to assume good faith, but it concerns me deeply that you attached a {{db-bio}} tag to an article which clearly did not meet the speedy deletion criteria.

”

Which article did you think clearly did not meet the speedy delete criteria? I like patrolling such articles and tagging them for speedy delete, and think this is a useful function. I am doing well at getting articles deleted. But if you could point me to the one you think was reckless, I'd certainly be willing to explain my thoughts on it. Spa toss 21:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

WCL

Hey, I added the WCL article to the DYK suggestions page for Articles created on August 19. Have a look, and change the hook if you like. You expanded the article from 759 character to 5730 by my count (well, my software's count), so it qualifies for the DYK easily. Cheers,--Bookandcoffee 07:19, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

dob

No problem. I was concerned that three of the four sources were "Gale Group"-related, which might make them more like one source, but it sounds like you're clear on the fact now. –Outriggr ♠ 04:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Robert Murray page

Sir, Could you please re-phrase the term "arm ripped off by a conveyer belt" to something more considerate of the family regarding the miner that was involved in the accident in the Alledonia mine?

Thank you

EDIT - Thank you sir! Much appreciated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.99.71 (talk) 06:44, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely, without delay. My apologies. — Scartol • Talk 23:50, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Thanks for being a VandalZapper

No problem at all.-- AngelOfSadness talk 13:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Lowell girls & child labor

I understand the colloquialism involved; however, as far as I can tell categorizing the article under "child labor" is due, if for no other reason than the US Dep't of Labor saying that child labor laws affect anyone under 18. This story shouldn't be left out of the child labor cannon. – Freechild (¡!¡!¡!¡) 11:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for checking in about it - some editors might have just ripped the cat off the page w/o saying anything. Best wishes - oh, and great article - I love the story. – Freechild (¡!¡!¡!¡) 11:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your significant work on the Lowell girls article and its subsequent appearance on the Did You Know? front page list! CSZero 00:45, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Balzac

I'll be happy to do a review of Balzac! I've been through the Featured Article candidate process twice now as the nominator, and I've participated in discussion for a handful more, so I think I can provide some guidance there. It might be a few days. I'm quite busy off wiki, but I promise you I'll pitch in. (Do you mind if I jump in and make minor WP:MOS fixes myself?) P.S. I've recently submitted a peer review myself: Ban Ki-moon at Wikipedia:Peer review/Ban Ki-moon. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated there as well! Cheers! --JayHenry 17:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I seem to have gotten this instead of you. Awadewit | talk 01:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Another option for peer review

Have you tried looking through the list of WikiNovelProject members to see if there are any who might be able to help out with a peer review? You could also post a general peer review call at that project. Awadewit | talk 07:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
