Jordan River (Utah)

I'm back from a hiatus. My father had a heart attack and was at my brother's marriage. Unfortunately, my brother did get married and therefore didn't survive. I changed/added a couple of sentences relating to the canals flowing south from the Jordan River and back into Utah Lake and on the Surplus Canal. If these changes are ok, I think I've answered all of your questions/suggestions. Is there something I missed or didn't do right?

There was a spill of 33,000 gallons of crude oil into Red Butte Creek last week. Some of the oil did make it into the Jordan River and eventually into the Great Salt Lake. It's unknown how much has made it into the river. Most of the news is focusing on the "rich" people next to the creek and the oil that made it into Liberty Park. Here is the only real article on the Jordan River. Bgwhite (talk) 22:19, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Saw you added and then deleted an old photo of dam on the Jordan River. Sorry, I didn't have the source in the right spot on wikimedia. Source has been updated on the wikimedia page for the photo. The photo was printed in a book from 1901 that was published by the USGS, so the Utah State Historical Society cannot copyright the photo. Should the photo be cropped to remove the copyright tag? Bgwhite (talk) 19:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

A request...

Since you reviewed the peer review for Hurricane Carmen, if you have time, could you take a look at its FAC? It's been open for quite a while, but unfortunately it suffers from a lack of responses. Juliancolton (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Pithole FA

Thanks! I think it goes well with Rhyolite. If there is a FA ghost town club, then I probably should welcomed you into an FA Pennsylvania city club a while ago ;-) ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 02:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I am on a bit of a role. I am trying to get a DYK for every state. I am a little over half way there. Most of my articles have been state parks. Some states don't have much info on their state parks. I may have to expand my reach. Do you have a suggestion for Oregon? Dincher (talk) 01:06, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I created Arizona Beach State Recreation Site. I am at "work" and can't access the counter tool to see if it's made the 1500 minimum. Could you run it through that checker for me and let me know if it has? Dincher (talk) 23:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Yep, it's currently at 1783. Great work! LittleMountain5 00:14, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks and points of interest

Thanks for your -- as always -- thorough review of Shimer College. Your comments were very helpful and give me courage to once again brave FAC.

Your comment about the broken link on several footnotes was a puzzlement, but I finally figured it out: there can be no extra spaces in the cref template. So {{cref |a|...}} will work. {{cref|a |...}} will not. For your chest of wikimedia trivia, if it ever comes up again.

Finally, if you would like to see what a flaming smelt actually looks like (or perhaps buy the t-shirt), look here

Clemuel Ricketts Mansion review

I got Tomasak's 2008 biography of Colonel R. Bruce Ricketts and as a result have added about 4 kB of prose to the Clemuel Ricketts Mansion article - dif. I am asking the FAC and PR reviewers to please take a second look at the Clemuel Ricketts Mansion article and make sure it still reads smoothly and clearly. If you find problems, please raise them on the article's talk page. Thanks in advance, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 04:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Mussel and Myrtle Creek

Could you create stubs for Mussel Creek and Myrtle Creek. Be careful I once asked Ruhrfisch to stub Plunketts Creek and he ended up going all the way to FA with it. By the way, the creeks are in the park. Dincher (talk) 00:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. You did miss a message. The creeks are in Arizona Beach State Recreation Site which is in Curry County. Dincher (talk) 02:35, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

A pic for the geobox would be great! I've already searched flickr and what I find are places in Arizona, imagine that? Dincher (talk) 13:48, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for making those stubs! Dincher (talk) 20:04, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Your guess about the name of AZ beach sounds like a pretty accurate guess to me. It also sounds like the name of a "club" at a hotel in someplace like Altoona or Williamsport. Dincher (talk) 23:27, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

DYK thanks

Thanks - I started the article to take care of a red link in Chetco River I noted in the FAC review, so I will let LittleMountain5 know next. That is quite the image of the notched dam. I have been in Klamath County, but do not think I have been in Curry County. Take care, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:20, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you on the Jordan River article

Thank you very, very much for all your help on the article. It wouldn't have made it without your help.

Peer review request

Hi Finetooth: I've done a substantial rewrite of the Albany, New York article and plan on bringing it to GAN sometime soon. Would you be so kind as to peer review it first? I'm not quite done yet, but most sections are. For the time being, ignore any {{fact}}s, as they will be removed in due time. Let me know if you're up to it! Thanks. upstateNYer 01:29, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

LH panoramas

I uploaded File:Lock Haven Bridge panorama.jpg and File:Lock Haven Main Street.jpg on Commons. Do you think either worth including in the LH article? Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 04:09, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Glad you like the Main Street panorama. I added it just now - please feel fee to tweak the placement, caption, and/or alt text. I walked along the levee but there were not any great shots from there or the railroad near the university that I found. I like the houses along Water Street too, but they are bigger and further apart, and so more difficult to get into a panorama. Hope you got some useful images from your trip, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I just tried adding the river photo to the Floods section, but am not sure if I like it there or not. Feel free to remove it if you want. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Glad you like them in the article. I got a few more shots of the university, but need to upload them. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:53, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Re: notes and references

It's still not the ideal way of presenting things, since the WP:MOS discourages the use of multiple subsection headers like that. However, in looking at what you've got there, you are presenting both actual footnotes, inline citations, as well as an alphabetical listing of references. So it's a lot of info. I'm not sure of the best way to present that, so perhaps you're method is best in this case. WTF? (talk) 05:47, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Capitol Loop

It's been ages since I've asked for your assistance, but I was wondering what you'd think about copy editing and reviewing a highway article again? The backstory here is simple, Awadewit looked over this article almost two years ago for me when we were discussing the concept of "context" on highway articles. Since then, I've moved closer so I have better access to the libraries local to that roadway. Last week, I rewrote the article on the Capitol Loop, purging the press releases as source and actually expanding on the content. Now the previous version was rated A-Class by the project, and I've asked on the project page for editors to review it on the article's talk page. I know it could use some polishing in the prose department, so I was hoping you might be willing at some point to help. I feel that the content is FA-worthy, but I would like to polish it now before any FAC. Imzadi 1979 → 21:21, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm a little tardy on this note. Thank you for your copy editing. If there is anything else you think should get changed, feel free to do so. There are very few comments on the FAC beyond the basic checks for dead links, dab links or sources. Imzadi 1979 → 13:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

List of parks in Portland, Oregon

Thanks for your feedback on the talk page of the list. I am slowly plugging away at adding ALL of the parks listed on the Portland Parks & Recreation website, along with their locations, size and a references for each. Then, it will come down to creating stubs for many of the parks and filling in the gaps of the list. I suggested on the talk page that it may be necessary to split up the list into sections down the list, as the list is going to be pretty long once completed. Your feedback is encouraged on that issue as well. Feel free to join in on the fun! --Another Believer _(Talk) 16:44, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback and assistance with the list. This IS a huge undertaking, but the final product would be well worth the effort. I just added another comment to the talk page as well. I encourage you to keep an eye on the list and talk page for a while, as I think a lot of conversation is going to be generated there. Thanks again for your help! --Another Believer _(Talk) 18:46, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations

Congrats on the Bull Run FA; it's another great article! Sincerely, LittleMountain5 02:28, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh! Nice!, Bull Run River (Oregon) I see. Some time ago when I saw you and others plugging away at it I wanted to help and began researching things. But once I saw that its watershed is protected for supplying water to Portland I realized I was out of my element. I feel confident researching the Cedar River (Washington)--Seattle's equivalent, more or less, but how could a non-Portlander, non-Oregonian like me write about Bull Run River?? Okay, I'm being silly, but its true that once I learned about Bull Run's role as Portland's water supply I kinda stepped back. The only thing I had ever heard about Bull Run was that 19th century surveyors had to run the Willamette Meridian's baseline over the mountains and the Bull Run basin. Ah well, please accept my klaxons and confetti! Pfly (talk) 09:51, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Congratulations

Thanks! :) I am quite proud of all the work we (meaning the group of people who worked on the article) did together and getting it to FA status. If it wasn't for you guys, I honestly don't think it (or I) would have made it. I have put it up for TFA/R, which is the final step. I am hoping I can get it on the front page. After that, I am have some other related articles in the works, so there is much to do. Hopefully we can work again on something Stephens City related in the near future. :) Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 16:26, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Question

Could you take a look at User:Neutralhomer/Sandbox3 and let me know if it is FA quality? There was some problems with the information (the stats) that was on the Stephens City, Virginia#Religion section, so I had to do some tinkering and User:JonRidinger did some editing. I asked Wehwalt if he would take a look, but he seems to be offline most of the day. What do you think? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:27, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

You can also view here for the reasons for the change. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Rewritten on those two places and put into practice in the "Religion" section at Stephens City, Virginia. Thanks for your help. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:15, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Quick request

Hullo Finetooth, you graciously contributed to the peer review of the Hotel Chevalier article back in December. Your comments were very helpful, and the article is almost through FAC, but the delegate SandyGeorgia has requested an image review. Since you commented on the images in the PR, would you mind taking a quick look at them now and leave a comment at the featured article candidacy? There are just two so it shouldn't take too long.

River tips

Sometime next week I was planning on getting photos of a creek in NW Pennsylvania (this one in particular), as well as to gather information. Seeing as how you recently got another river to FA (congrats on that, by the way), I was curious as to whether you had tips and / or tricks for writing about rivers / creeks? ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 00:56, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, if I come up with anything specific, I'll ask. One thing I have already emulated are your and Ruhrfisch's style of maps, though I use USGS data instead of the Census Bureau and prefer to draw SVG's. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 02:00, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

I won't know where to begin to look for an "Oregon Gazatteer of Streams" (or even what the Oregon equivalent of Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is). Although, it is nice see my inquiry turned up a source for your ;-) ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 19:38, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Thought you'd be interested in seeing the finished product (I've still got a couple of photos to upload, though). I thought it came out pretty well, but any criticism would be welcomed. ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 01:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Sure, but they don't have to be extensive (like a PR normally is). ​​​​​​​​Niagara ​​^{Don't give up the ship} 14:08, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Was wondering...

You have a fine (fine, finetooth, haha, ermph...) reputation as an outstanding peer reviewer on Wikipedia. So, I was wondering if you could give a quick review of Mauna Kea in reference to a possible, rather, probable, FAC. Nothing major, just a quick review post on the talkpage of any outstanding issues. I'm trying out this one like I did Loihi Seamount, which was pretty mch coordinated on its talk page. So, if you have the time, it would be much appreciated. Also, I've nothing to do especially, perhaps I could lend you some of my time in return for yours... :)? ResMar 01:24, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Two things. First, I was wrong about PR. The backlog is not as bad as I thought it was oO. Not nearly. I'll be using it more extensively in the future. In addition, PRs are fun to review, I've done two so far :) Second, this dispatch article that you wrote with R-fish. Think you can finish it and post it? I've required to bother you about it until you do :D ResMar 02:19, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

South Fork John Day River

I saw you were looking for the watershed area of the South Fork John Day River, and I think I found it: 607 square miles.([1], page 1, 'Watershed Overview'). I'll try to find a reliable source for the Illinois' length as well. (Great job on the list, BTW!) Sincerely, LittleMountain5 23:19, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, I searched and searched and searched, even found a whole watershed assessment for the Illinois, and it didn't even mention the length! (Take a look, maybe I missed it somewhere in there...) I guess the Angler's Guide will just have to do. Anyway, the list looks awesome; maybe if you squeezed in some pictures you could take it to FLC? If you need/want any help with the source elevations or anything, just ask. :) LittleMountain5 15:57, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I could definitely make a map like the one you described, although it might take me a while. I've been looking for any other 40-mile-plus rivers in Oregon; Silver Creek is a definite possibility. Page 18 of this PDF says that Silver Creek drains 1,700 square miles, so it must be over 40 miles long, but I can't find a source. Apparently there is a Silver Creek watershed assessment, but I guess it isn't on the web. Oh well, I'll keep looking. LittleMountain5 23:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, I found the watershed assessment, but it didn't even mention the creek's length. :( Other 40-mile-plus possibilities include Jordan and Willow creeks in Malheur County, Joseph Creek in Wallowa County, Willow and Rock creeks in Gilliam/Morrow counties, and—like Pfly said below—the Kings River in Harney County. I haven't checked for sources for any of these, they're just guesses. I'll go work on the map now. :) LittleMountain5 14:31, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Update: Joseph Creek is 49 miles long, Willow Creek in Morrow County is 79 miles long (page 8, 13 on the PDF). LittleMountain5 14:59, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

40+ miles

I saw that you were compiling a list of streams of Oregon over 40 miles long. I thought I'd look for lesser-known possibilities. I haven't looked very hard, but have you considered Big Sheep Creek? No Wikipedia page, it seems; in GNIS it's U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Big Sheep Creek. A quick and rough measure in Google Earth gave me a length of something right around 40 miles. Pfly (talk) 03:36, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Also Kings River (Nevada), which just just barely barely flows through Oregon at its source. Seems to be about 40 miles long, more or less. Pfly (talk) 04:20, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about the Kings. According to the map it starts about a few yards south of the Oregon border. Shannon^talk _contribs 16:23, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

It does begin south of the border, but it flows northwest into Oregon, and then south back into Nevada. (Google Maps) LittleMountain5 16:37, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I moved the list to main space (List of longest streams of Oregon) just now and created a talk page as well so that others can work on the list directly and join in the talk-page discussions. Finetooth (talk) 18:12, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks very good - the top part is almost long enough to get a DYK, if you are interested. You might want to ask at the WikiProject Rivers talk page for feedback too (*though you have a lot of input already). Now I am thinking of a similar Pennsylvania list.

PR and GA

((Barcelona Barnstar)) (in progress)

Hi Finetooth, Thanks for your nice peer reviews! On your PR here of History of Barcelona, you seem to think the article is okay. I thought that if it was just a question of five minutes on your behalf would you consider doing a GA review of it? It is just because you read it all and if you thought it was good, you could just do the GA review with a link/transclusion to/of the PR? Sandman888 (talk) ^{Latest PR} 08:10, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

This article is a current featured article candidate; I see you have reviewed school articles at FAC before, so I was hoping (if you have the time), you might look at this one? Many thanks in advance, and kind regards, Tom (talk) 01:22, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Great, thanks! Tom (talk) 17:23, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you! Your copy editing helped Capitol Loop pass its FAC. Imzadi 1979 → 00:44, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the Millennium Park ce. One of the articles I really think could make FA with a copyeditor like you is the Juwan Howard article that I think you may have started to look at previously. Would you be willing to copyedit it and do a co-nom at FA?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Basically, I am involved in the WP:CUP, I have three articles (The others being Exelon Pavilions, which Ruhrfisch (talk · contribs) is ceing now and 1997 Michigan Wolverines football team, which Cbl62 (talk · contribs) says he should get to in time for me to attempt to promote for CUP points) that are basically a good ce away from being ready for WP:FAC. They need to close at FAC by October 31 in order for me to get cup points. However, simultaneous nominations are discouraged unless you have co-nominators. I am expecting Exelon to be ready by the end of the week. I would hope to get the others in the FAC pipeline before the end of the month. I am just not that good a copyeditor. Since I see you like military stuff, Bob Chappuis is also probably pretty close to passing.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:37, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Since we have never worked together on a FAC, I thought I would suggest that since the most recent commentary is about 2/3 prose questions, I would give you some time to respond (I will be heading to the gym in an hour and then be busy until about 10PM central). If you get a chance to address any issues, please respond below each line of concern at the FAC, so I can tell what you have done.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:04, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Lewis and Clark

Thanks for the kind words. I liked visiting the Lewis and Clark River area. Hopefully we'll manage another family vacation to Cannon Beach someday. If you do someday want to play with GIS data, the app I mentioned, ArcExplorer, is free and fairly simple. It's little more than a GIS data viewer, without the bazillion analysis tools of most GIS apps. It's interface is a bit annoying, but it does the job. Could be a good way to get started. Most GIS apps are dauntingly complex. I agree that citing the WBD, or the NHD, seems reliable--but isn't exactly a helpful way to show others how to verify the info. Maybe it would be helpful if the cite wasn't just to the WBD in general, but the specific datafiles, and perhaps something like, "accessed via ArcExplorer." That way others could, if they really wanted, download the specific datafile and viewer app. Hmm, I'll think about how that kind of citation might be done. It might be difficult to provide specific datafile names. I could point to a website that extracts the data and emails it to you (which is how I've been downloading the bits and pieces so far). ..Anyway, I should get to checking those basin sizes tonight sometime. I'll do a couple more for streams we have other reliable sources for, to see how well they agree. Pfly (talk) 02:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Chicago Barnstar

		The Chicago Barnstar

A second one

Because of the extreme efficiency of your copyedit, there is a strong possibility that the current nomination will conclude in plenty of time for me to nominate another for FC in time to close prior to October 31, which would get me additional WP:CUP points. The two articles that I have worked on this year that are WP:GAs waiting for cleanup to got to WP:FAC that you might be most likely to find interesting enough to spend the energy cleaning up are Tommy Amaker and Gerald Ratner Athletic Center. I would surely appreciate another ce, and again offer a FAC co-nom.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:47, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I was very glad to recognize your achievment, and am very appreciative of all your hard work. Do you count reviews you do that are on article talk pages, or just on PR pages? Suspect the latter. Off to make some comments on a certain list of longest streams. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:44, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

A Journey

Hi and thanks for reviewing the article. I should be able to sort everything out, and hopefully add anything that's missing. I am planning to read the book, and have put my name down at my local library to borrow a copy. There's quite a long waiting list though, so I'll probably end up having to buy it - or dropping a few hints to friends and relatives about what to buy me for Christmas. :) TheRetroGuy (talk) 12:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Haruna

Thanks so much for your review and copyediting at Japanese battleship Haruna. I just wanted to clarify that I didn't make some of the corrections you suggested because they're not "my department"; there are other SHIPS people who can usually be relied on to look after those things, although 3 or 4 of the main ones are distracted at the moment. In general, we aim to produce articles that are very easy to read and review. (Watching) - Dank (push to talk) 20:27, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Hong Kong peer review

Hello Finetooth, I found you under WP:PRV and would like to ask for your comments in this peer review. The article was unsuccessfully pushed the article to FA status recently, but many changes had been made since then, so I want to see if there are anything else needed to improve on before the article is submitted for FAR again.

DYK for Dry River (Crooked River)

— Rlevse • Talk • 06:02, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Red link

I made Butter Creek (Oregon) using only the information in the list to get rid of the red link for FLC. It did not take me too long and I can make more like this if you want. Just let me know, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:16, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

PS The new article is 593 B, so for DYK it would have to be expanded to 2965 B. For comparison, Dry River (congrats on the DYK!) is 1618 B. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:28, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I added a Geobox - thanks for the cat and talk page. Since they are in the Geobox now, I took the coordinates out of the article, which is now only 355 B, need 1775 B for DYK expansion. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:37, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, the Geobox took longer for me to add than the article did for me to write. I will work on Rattlesnake Creek next, as it is a red link in the lead. I think I might have the coordinates in the article but commented out for now. Might call it a night soon. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:49, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Rattlesnake Creek (Oregon) is no longer red. Good night! Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 03:06, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks - I moved the gallery back to the top. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 13:44, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

I fixed the length ref as it was missing the URL. It seems to me that the length of the Klamath Rivewr could be calcualted from the total length (287 miles) minus the river miles at the Oregon-California border (208 miles). I think this is 79 miles, but I figured I would ask you to check my reasoning, and also to see if you thought it worth including. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 14:42, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Regarding your recent review

Thank you for reviewing the article Silver Reef, Utah. I noticed that you said there was a bit of trouble with a couple photos in the article, that the original source wasn't acknowledged. I know that one of them came from the Silver Reef museum, so when I put that as the source, should I also keep the website where I got it from, or should I omit the link to the site? Thanks.

Help with my FAC?

Finetooth,

I have had Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/School for Creative and Performing Arts/archive1 at FAC for over a month now, and was close to wrapping it up, I thought, but a set of prose issues have now been raised that I am really not sure how to address. If there is any way you can take a look help me correct it, I would be eternally grateful. I don't think it will be a huge chore. Thanks. --Nasty Housecat (talk) 16:33, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks back

Thanks - Exelon Pavilions was at FAC for three weeks, which was an odd experience. Two supports early on, then a long time in limbo, then a fairly fast close once it had a fourth support and image check (to the point where I was still cleaning up some issues raised in the FAC before I could reasonably send out thank spam). There are one or two more Millennium Park articles I can see working on for FAC, but that project is winding down (for me at least). Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 15:44, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Dispatch

I made a few additions to yours and Ruhr's dispatch. I personally feel its ready to be piped to FCDW, however you are the authors: do you have anything to add to it, specifically...? (I'd contacted you and Ruhr earlier in August; see User talk:Ruhrfisch#Dispatches). I just want to get Dispatches moving again. PS: I never said it, but the fast reception I got at PR for Mauna Kea was a nice surprise; I will use it more often now =) (it's at FAC atm). Regards, ResMar 00:02, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I just re-read it for the first time in many months, and I'm happy with it. It's fine with me if you want to use it, and thanks for taking the trouble to do this. The additions (as far as I can make them out) look fine. Glad your experience at PR was a good one; out of curiosity, I looked at the reviews, and indeed they were good. Good luck at FAC. Finetooth (talk) 04:40, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Great! I'll post it to the board later this week. Atm, we're experiencing a backlog at the Signpost, which I can't resolve because I have tests to study for =) ResMar 22:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Please be sure it's OK with Ruhrfisch too. I can only speak for myself. Finetooth (talk) 22:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I have been pretty busy in real life and have not done anything with the Dispatch since your original note - sorry. I am OK with it as it is, but have a few ideas like adding a bit on WP:NFCC in images and a few others. If I get to them fine, if not feel free to put it in the Dispatch anyway. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 01:17, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
