Online Ambassadors

I saw the quality of your contributions at DYK and clicked on over to your user page and was pretty impressed. Would you be interested in helping with the WP:Online_Ambassadors program? It's really a great opportunity to help university students become Wikipedia contributers. I hope you apply to become an ambassador, Sadads (talk) 16:12, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Your confidence inspires me. I've now applied.--Wetman (talk) 21:55, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Very good, we are reviewing the application now Sadads (talk) 00:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Baiae

Am I missing something? I was pretty sure this is a copyright violation. Nev1 (talk) 12:37, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

My error. I hadn't detected the copyright violation.-Wetman (talk) 04:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Burlesque (genre)

Hi. I see that you were the original person who created the article on Victorian theatrical burlesque [Burlesque (genre)], as distinguished from modern striptease burlesque. I see that someone has now merged the Burlesque (genre) article into Burlesque. See this. I missed that there had been a merge proposal, but I disagree with this merge. Here is what Burlesque (genre) looked like before the merge. Would you kindly look into this and comment here? Thanks for taking a look and commenting either way. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:46, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

If the combined article drops no text or illustrations and incorporates added text examining the extension of "burlesque" to include its modern connotations, that would be a genuinely encyclopedic treatment.--Wetman (talk) 04:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

I thought they were being a little childish about what "reviewing" is, but I have left a further note about the hook, which doesn't appear to be cited. You may like to look at it and comment. Moonraker2 (talk) 05:36, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Karkadann

Almost exactly five years ago you commented on the lamentable state of this article. Good things come to those who wait! Drmies (talk) 20:27, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Bravo, Drmies! Worth the wait. Wikipedia's quality has risen far in the last five years.--Wetman (talk) 20:47, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks in no small part to you. I should throw a barnstar your way, but it would get last between all those DYK medals. Hey, I'm actually catching up with you! (That is, I can see your taillight way up ahead.) Thanks for the compliment, and keep the quality articles coming. Drmies (talk) 20:52, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: Egyptian temple

I'm glad you like the article. As for why the article wasn't created until now—well, most of the ancient Egypt section is crummy. A few years ago, before I joined the wikiproject, a few people did excellent work on Ancient Egypt and some of the New Kingdom pharaohs, but those people seem to be busy with real life now. Even when they were highly active here, they didn't work much in the area of religion. Ancient Egyptian religion is my primary interest on Wikipedia, and the absence of a temple article was the most glaring deficiency, so as soon as I could put together a decent article, I did. A. Parrot (talk) 07:18, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Well, it sets a standard.--Wetman (talk) 07:27, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that's a really fine article. Johnbod (talk) 11:51, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Il Guerrin Meschino

I had a go at it. I have found a limited online text of Cursietti's edition here. Moonraker2 (talk) 10:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

I couldn't open it. Thanks .--Wetman (talk) 10:46, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

All Saints Church, Little Wenham

Thanks for your comment on the DYK suggestions page. I too thought that it was Grade II* listed until I looked more carefully at the Heritage gateway page. At the top it says "Grade II*", and a little lower it says "GVII*". But still lower it says "The entry shall be amended to read:-" and lower again "GVI". In addition Grade I listed buildings in Babergh (where it uses its alternative dedication (maybe incorrectly) to St Lawrence) includes it as Grade I listed. I decided that the evidence is in favour of its grading having been raised from Grade II* to Grade I and have reverted your edit. Cheers. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 10:51, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
