First of all I split off the biographical information to its own article, and second I have removed some of the extensive original research, esp. those plagiarism sections. Wikipedia is not the place for original research: what is written here needs secondary verification. In addition, the plot summaries are just way too long; I think we typically have 300 to 500 words or so, without the frequent quotes. Thank you.

Hello, Usernameunique. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Björn Ambrosiani, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Björn Ambrosiani to be deleted, please add a reference to the article. If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page. Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 00:45, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
The article William Andrew Oddy has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Elliot321 (talk) 20:20, 17 May 2017 (UTC) NotabilityYou are reverting my notability tagging but the articles do not actually show notability. I think you need to refamiliarise yourself with WP:GNG etc. For example, different Wikipedia projects have different notability requirements and, in any case, articles on other projects may not yet have been reviewed there - you cannot assume notability by pointing to the German Wikipedia etc. And merely writing a few books or papers doesn't make someone notable - you have to demonstrate that those works are significant and you have to find independent reliable sources etc that discuss the person. Together with a problem of citing and a complete misunderstanding of WP:PRIMARY etc in your comment on my talk page recently, I'm beginning to wonder if there might be a competence issue here. - Sitush (talk) 07:25, 18 May 2017 (UTC) Hello, Usernameunique.

MussidaeI will act on your comments on the DYK nomination page. With regards to Mussidae, I ought really to add a taxonomy section explaining that the family as originally understood, had been split with many genera now included in other families. We currently have an unreferenced article Brain coral which refers to the family Mussidae as it was before the family was split. After the DYK has gone through, I will propose merging this, or at least removing the taxobox, because it is referring to a form of coral rather than a scientific taxon. Actually, I have been in two minds as to how best to proceed. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:08, 24 August 2017 (UTC) Sutton Hoo helmetA fascinating and well-written article. Great work! I realize the article is still under construction, but wonder have you considered adding something on the Beowulf connection. The poem talks of depictions of boars above the cheek-guards and crests described as 'wirum bewunden' (bound with wire), as seems to be the case with the Sutton Hoo one. --Hillbillyholiday talk 07:11, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

While I understand that this is the normal procedure, we seem to be in unconventional times, where there is now a glut of people having to review non-existent candidates. Should we wait hoping that a surge of candidates solves the problem soon? Because we may just end up with a bunch of perfectly good unpromoted hooks for a reason that, at least for the moment, creates a problem of its own rather than solve one.

Thank you very much. I've noticed you haven't been active in DYK lately, doubtless because of your FAC and other activities.

DYK for Benty Grange helmetOn 9 October 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Benty Grange helmet, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that warriors in the epic poem Beowulf wear helmets like the boar-crested Benty Grange helmet (pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Benty Grange helmet. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Benty Grange helmet), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Your GA nomination of Nigel Williams (conservator)Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Nigel Williams (conservator) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Your GA nomination of Nigel Williams (conservator)The article Nigel Williams (conservator) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Nigel Williams (conservator) for things which need to be addressed.

Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of KJP1 -- KJP1 (talk) 22:02, 29 November 2017 (UTC) Congratulations, - I remember it from DYK days! Yes, go for FAC. Compare with others, read a few reviews. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:14, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Peer review!Whoah, that was fast! If I had been quicker, I would definitely have suggested Peer Review before FAC. The issue with going straight from GA to FAC is that you've really only had one alternative pair of eyes on it, mine. Whereas Peer Review gives you a much broader range of views. As you know, having done them, the standards at FAC are quite a bit more stringent than GAR and I think you might get a grumble or two at making the leap in one bound. That said, I shall certainly Support it, and it is very fine article, so we shall see how it goes. KJP1 (talk) 13:29, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

Colin Robert ChaseJust a FYI, sources can say anything. Categories are to be determined based on what is in the article. The point of an encyclopedia is to get, at a minimum, the basic information about the subject. For an academic, that would include where they work and where they studied.Postcard Cathy (talk) 03:57, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

DYK workUsernameunique, thanks for all the DYK work you've been doing. I was impressed with your donation of a QPQ to the longstanding Nagtahan Interchange nomination. Would you want to do something similar for Template:Did you know nominations/Paddy Mahon? The nominator has decided to withdraw the nomination—they don't seem to be up to tackling a QPQ and hadn't realized it was required—and rather than close it right away, I thought I'd ask you if you'd like to intervene. Were you planning to return to Template:Did you know nominations/Jie Zhitui? You did an initial review, and LlywelynII has responded, but also unstruck a number of hooks that you had struck. If you will be returning (and, presumably, restriking), please let me know; I'm going to be posting a new list of old DYK noms needing reviewing, and will only include this one if you aren't planning to continue reviewing it. For Template:Did you know nominations/Edward Dodding, you'll want to check Philafrenzy's just-submitted QPQ to make sure it's okay before restoring your tick to the review. I was wondering whether you'd be willing to take on Template:Did you know nominations/Bhogeshwari Phukanani. As you can see, I've not been able to deal with it myself—the two differing accounts of her death have not been accounted for in the article, and I'm very uncomfortable with the author just having stripped out one of them rather than doing so. (Why would one be given credence and the other not?) What would you like to do with your Caroline Brady nomination? Should I call for a new reviewer? I'm completely unable to assess her notability myself. I do think that there is overmuch detail—the street addresses are indeed unusual—but I'm not sure that should be a problem for a DYK.

Added ALT1. Great idea! 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:14, 26 December 2017 (UTC) dyk Clement Price ThomasHi, I've reworded much of text. Please let me know your view. Whispyhistory (talk) 14:26, 26 December 2017 (UTC) Usernameunique, when you passed this nomination, you didn't make any comment on the special occasion suggestion nor move it to the approved area. The nominator moved it herself to special occasions, but I moved it back because special occasion requests are not automatically granted, as they are not all compelling. Looking at it again, I have to confess that I am not particularly impressed with the reasoning, which only seems to apply if the image is chosen, and then only to people who would recognize Mary and realize that it was a Marian feast day that day. However, I thought I should ping you and let you decide what should be done, since January 1 is not that far off, and the Prep 5 set destined to run that day is already starting to fill. Thanks.

I have added the suggestion made by you at Template:Did you know nominations/Bhogeshwari Phukanani, could you please have a look, would love to have another pair of eyes look at it. Thank you again. Happy holidays FITINDIA 02:30, 28 December 2017 (UTC) About Template:Did you know nominations/Caroline Brady (philologist): What would you think of a new version of this article that removed the sources that have been criticized? The reference list would have to shrink greatly, with all the census links taken out, and the society memberships. If there is a kernel that ought to remain, my guess is that it would be based on Legends of Ermanaric and her two late papers about diction in Beowulf. It would help if we could find memorable comments on her work from third parties. I looked into a 1945 comment by Stanley Rypins on Legends. His bottom line is rather qualified: “This conclusion, though reasonable enough, scarcely requires the emphasis it here receives.” I haven't yet looked at all the reviews of Legends, but if the book is held by 151 Worldcat libraries, it must have got good press *somewhere*. There is a minimal Google preview of the Ermanaric book available online which doesn't let me read any complete sentences. Quoting some lines from the book would add to the interest. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 21:05, 29 December 2017 (UTC) Dearth of unreviewed DYK articlesUsernameunique, we've run into the very rare situation of nominators not being able to do QPQs because there aren't unreviewed nominations available. I can't believe I've even suggesting this, but if you could temporarily refrain from taking on such unreviewed nominations for a while, until the dearth is relieved, it would help a lot. This is not to say to say that there won't be any DYK reviewing, since there will still be plenty of reviewed nominations that need ALT hooks checked and other help to get them to that final tick. I just have this vision of a handful of people pouncing on new nominations and having multiple edit-conflicted reviews being produced. (Or maybe it was something I ate today.) At any rate, I hope you don't mind. Nominations may pick up with the New Year and the new WikiCup, but I imagine most of the participants will need to do QPQs as well, so it may not improve matters much... Many thanks.
