GA assessment Karmichael HuntHi SpecialWindler - thank you for your message. GA nominations are currently (normally) taking some time to be processed (around a month) because of the lack of experienced GA reviewers. So normally I would not be able to assess Karmichael Hunt for some time. However I had a quick look at it after your request and noted that it met one of the quick fail categories - based on having a clean-up tag. This means it must automatically fail (providing the tag is legitimate). I noted the tag has been up there for some edits and in fact that the article does need a careful proof-read (because it is definitely not ready for GA classification at this stage). Can I suggest that you spell and grammar check the whole article as your first step to improving the article as that will at least remove the clean-up tag. If I can help further please let me know.--VS talk 22:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
The article Karmichael Hunt you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:Karmichael Hunt for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a review. --VS talk 22:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC) Hey can you read and hopefully up-grade the Sivaji: tHe Boss article to a GA. Many Thanks.

SpecialWindler 09:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC) I'm InHi, SpecialWindler, I saw your ad for WP:RL and I have joined. It is great to finally see a Rugby League WikiProject. If you need any help with the cosmetic appearance of the page or with articles, just give me a ring. Harrison-HB4026 07:40, 23 May 2007 (UTC) P.S I am sorry to hear that you support Queensland in State of Origin :) help{helpme} I am trying to add some syntax to Template:WikiProject Rugby league. I am trying to add a peer review section to the template. I have done that and saved and all seemed well. When I tried to test it out on Talk:Karmichael Hunt, nothing happened. It should come up with something like "A request has been made for this to be perr reviewed. But on Karmichael Hunt it hasn't come up. (I also tried it on Brisbane Broncos, but it didn't work) The category's supposed to come up also don't come up. I think I've done something wrong. "old-peer-review" doesn't come up either.

help again{{helpme}} This is probably simple but how do you change text colour in a link. I want to use a link in a table with a blueish background and it makes the link look weird. SpecialWindler 10:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
{{helpme}} On Template:WikiProject Rugby league, why doesn't {{{current}}} work. Take Talk:Karmichael Hunt, which is my tester. It has the |current=yes| but it comes up with Karmichael Hunt is a yes player of rugby league. rather than Karmichael Hunt is a current player of rugby league.
They also need to be put into category's [[Category:Current WikiProject Rugby league players]] for yes and [[Category:Former WikiProject Rugby league players]] for no. SpecialWindler 11:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Special...made some changes on page based on your suggestions. Not finished....however if you get a chance can you take a look...maybe now that is cleaned up a bit you will find more <grin>....snoSno2 12:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC) Hello, this is a message from an automated bot.

Flickr{helpme} I'm not sure about how do tell if certain images are free or not. Can someone tell me if this following image is free SpecialWindler 12:47, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Webshots{{helpme}} Do you know if this image is free? (If you don't know or can't find it, don't bother, just remove the helpme) Thanks SpecialWindler 09:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
User talks with the messageDo you have a free image of Karmichael Hunt or can you get one. I am trying to get Karmichael Hunt to Featured Article status and need a free image of him. Thanks SpecialWindler 05:27, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Sure. It may be a while though as I'm going to church right now. ~ ΜΛGиυs ΛΠιмυМ ≈ √∞ 11:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC) proseI can't figure how to change these two sentence in the Karmichael Hunt article Hunt started the 2006 season well, making a deadly combination with Darren Lockyer. The peer reviewers say that is very informal "deadly".
What I am trying to say is he and lockyer made a good combination with him. With Darren Lockyer's move to five-eighth this left some large shoes to fill in the fullback position. What I am trying to say is that Darren Lockyer moved out of fullback position, Lockyer was a very good player and hunt had some "large shoes to fill" but that statement dosen't sound right.
All of the above refers to the article Karmichael Hunt and refers to rugby league. Thanks SpecialWindler 07:28, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Kevin PietersenHi, Thanks for your peer review of Kevin Pietersen. Would you be kind enough to take another look and lend your support here as the article is now heading for Featured Article status. Thanks, –MDCollins (talk) 10:49, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Karmichael Hunt reviewHey there, I just got your request today asking me to review this article. I will attempt to take a look at it later this weekend -- alas, you just caught me on a very busy couple weeks, and I haven't made any edits to WP in that time. I'll admit that I don't know anything about the topic nor the sport, but I'll be glad to review it from an outsider's prospective. Thanks for asking me. --Ataricodfish 19:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC) Karmichael Hunt photosIf you email me at admin@nothing-fancy.com, I'll send the pics to you. Florrie 12:27, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed you included the Queensland Cup in the template for Brisbane Sports Clubs that I created. If you see the talk page for that template I included what I intended to be some parameters for the template, including only having major leagues as per the Major Sports Leagues of Australia template. While I appreciate your contribution and was even contemplating doing the same thing myself, the danger in doing so is that you'll have all the AFL and Soccer fans adding insignificant local teams in their insignificant local leagues. Something I was hoping to avoid.--Jeff79 00:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Peer Review
I couldn't see any other real problems. However, having that "please place picture here" image is really an off-putter. Even the removal of that image might be sufficient for A-class. But you might want to wait for any other responses as well. I'm kinda new to this and would probably trust the opinions of others more than my own. John Carter 22:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
images{{helpme}} I'm not sure of the fair use and all that so could someone tell me if [3] is covered by fair use or not it comes from this page [4] and I want to use a cropped picture of someone to show what him in the australian schoolboys. I'm not trying to be rude, but I don't want to be wrong if I upload this? for the article Karmichael Hunt SpecialWindler 00:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
IncidentThat blog site's article is an exact copy and paste of the other blog site's article whose reference I removed previously. While the content may be interesting and relevant, I'm opposed to using such a highly dubious source as a reference in a biography of a living person.--Jeff79 07:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC) error{helpme} On Karmichael Hunt, in the "All games" section, the "100" should be bold but for some reason it's not.

Re:Wikiproject BiographyI'm uneasy about auto-assessing articles. On many occasions I've rated articles with stub templates Start class. It has to be pretty short to give it a rating that says: any information added would be helpful, and that it's not useful to most readers. Whoever runs the bot doesn't think we need to, or at least I think so or they would have run it. Also, if you're assessing articles for the project you might as well sign up as a member too :). --Psychless Type words! 15:29, 10 June 2007 (UTC) 23:43, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Ok, well the bot that does auto assess stubs puts them in this category: Category:Automatically_assessed_biography_articles. So, I'm assuming that User:Kingbotk is continuing to do this. I just found out about the category and I'm glad that they are put in there. --Psychless Type words! 15:29, 10 June 2007 (UTC) 01:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC) I've seen that page before, I think, what I didn't know was that we had an auto= parameter, which makes me feel better about the auto assessing. --Psychless Type words! 15:29, 10 June 2007 (UTC) 01:30, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Hmm, according to this page they're still doing something. Not enough though it seems. I still see a lot of unassessed articles with a stub template. If you're interested in this you could look for stub categories that User:Kingbotk could go through. --Psychless Type words! 15:29, 10 June 2007 (UTC) 01:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC) |
