Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sholokov and Khrushchev 1959.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Sholokov and Khrushchev 1959.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Rotavirus review

[edit]

Hi there Graham, I've left a couple of comments over at Talk:Rotavirus (and will add more soon). Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 18:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graham, I've left a quite note on the FAC wrt restructuring. I should get a chance to scan the article again this evening before offering my opinion at FAC. Cheers, Colin°Talk 19:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Colin. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 19:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - It means a lot that you *aren't* a lay person :) Articles really seem to work out best (in both readability and correctness) when you have people on both sides of the fence. -Ravedave (talk) 17:13, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, Graham, on your FA star. Well deserved. You can go to bed now :-) Colin°Talk 21:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My congratulations as well, Graham. Since I'm the closer, I can't add my own Support, but you had it all the way. It has been a true pleasure to watch you evolve into one of Wiki's finest :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Animal Testing

[edit]

Please note on the animal testing page. References for everything are not necessary. Especially in cases where everyone is likely to agree, such as "Pavlov used dogs to describe classical conditioning", a reference is overkill. As a caveat, references ARE necessary for any point that someone is likely to challenge. The Wikipedia policies governing this are at WP:V. Happy editing.--Animalresearcher (talk) 19:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that was uncharacteristically ill-mannered of me.--GrahamColmTalk 20:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support added

[edit]

Hi Graham, sorry it took so long for me to go back and check your comments - it's a time difference thing - when you get up, I go to bed ;). I wish I could help fix the extremely minor comments myself, but it seems even my links may get reverted. Never mind! It looks good and I hope to see the article on FA soon! That brings me around to Herpes simplex again. I just put it up for peer review and wondered, if any comments come back, if you'd like to put your good skills to improving that article to FA - can't think of anyone better to ask!!! All the best, ~ Ciar ~ (Talk to me!) 19:14, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rotavirus

[edit]

Compliments on the rotavirus page - it has rightly made it to featured status. Herpes zoster is presently the WP:MCOTW. I'm sure that one is only a few nudges away from GA or FA status! JFW | T@lk 22:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

שָׁלוֹם and many thanks. I took another look at Herpes zoster this morning. Yep, it's on my list. Thanks JFW for all your support. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 22:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. I just finished writing the theme section to One day... why don't you check it out? I'm hoping to give it a good run this time and hopefully get it up to featured status in a few months. LOTRrules (talk) 16:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Graham, thanks for the input on the cannon FAC, and for the copyedits. I replied here, just to let you know in case you're not watching the page. · AndonicO Hail! 18:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A favor

[edit]

Hey, Graham; I'm kind of swamped and wanted to ask you a favor. Remember the issue you had with trying to read an article about American football and get through all the lingo? I'm having the same issue with Ernie Toshack and Clem Hill on cricket. Do you play, know or understand cricket? I can't make heads nor tails of them. Do you have time to look at my comments on the FACs and help sort out some of the lingo, if you know cricket? In my case, it could be a combo of British English and not knowing cricket. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:21, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sandy, I'll take at look at them. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 19:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank, Graham; I'm really swamped and need someone knowledgeable and trusted to try to smooth out the issues there. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk)

Yes, thanks Graham, Monday's fine. I feel guilty now for triggering an oppose, but I guess it wasn't only me. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graham and thanks for the review. I will address those points you made in the review this morning (in and around my responsibilities to my employer!). Growing up with cricket I find removing jargon from cricket articles the most difficult part of the entire FA process but it certainly improves the article no end. -- Mattinbgn\talk 21:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • You're very welcome, and I know what you mean— (about your employer and the jargon!)— I struggle for months trying to make my virus articles jargon-free; and have failed. You have achieved the near impossible with yours. Well done and best wishes from up north. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 22:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried fixing the Toshack article, but I'm not so great at understanding your grammar points....Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:47, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I think I've fixed it. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I'm going to the lab now. I'll try to find time to take another look during the day or this evening, (UK). If I make any edits that don't help, feel free to revert. Best wishes. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 07:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 03:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Easter

[edit]

Thanks for the message. Yes, the sun did shine but it was rather cold. Can we have Spring now please?

I'm glad you're watching Ketogenic diet as I will be asking you to critically review it later, if you wouldn't mind. At the moment, I think the prose is more a collection of facts than something enjoyably readable. There are also a few holes in the comprehensiveness-front that I should fill as I work through my sources. Bearing in mind its early stage of development, do you have any initial comments? (Don't spend long on this, as the text may change).

Colin°Talk 18:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Colin and welcome home. Your article is coming along very well. I've been dying to change this: A number of studies demonstrate to. Several studies have demonstrated.. but as you weren't around to ask, I left it alone:). I would feel honoured to review it for you and anything else I can help with of course. The clocks go forward at the weekend, so that should give the onset of spring a nudge. Nice to have you back. Graham. P.S. I'm waiting to see if the meds put Genetics in their trophy cabinet! --GrahamColmTalk 18:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I already put it there ? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How did I miss that? Too much cricket perhaps :) --GrahamColmTalk 18:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graham, I've revised the paragraph that contained the offending sentence. I was reluctant to ask someone to review at this stage as I didn't want to waste anyone's time on what might only be an early draft. But, of course, if you are "dying" to help then go ahead and improve. It would be useful to me, at this stage of producing the initial content, to know what you struggled with and what you found interesting or not. I suspect there may be text that contains (at that point) unexplained details or jargon. It is very hard to spot all the problems with one's own text. It would also be great to have someone to bounce ideas off of. For example, I'm wondering whether the photos are too static. I could take one showing a Ketostix being held against the scale, or pouring the Liquigen out of the bottle. If you have some ideas/comments, perhaps we could move this conversation over to the article talk page. Cheers, Colin°Talk 23:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Colin, yes let's move to article discussion page. Yet again, it's past my bedtime, but I will post a comment there about your piecharts. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 23:21, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Review

[edit]

Graham, do you have time to review Ima Hogg at FAC? Many of the active FAC reviewers worked on it, reducing the reviewer pool, and it needs an independent review. Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I now the article and I'll take another look. Graham.--GrahamColmTalk 19:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date linking; methinks you're confused :-) Tell me where the confusion is and I'll try to help you sort it out. Basically, what WP:MOSDATE says is that either you link all dates or you link no dates, and when you leave raw dates, the formatting must be consistent. But when you link dates, you link all full dates (month day year) and all month day combos, as those need to work with user prefs. Solo years and month year combos aren't linked, since those don't depend on user prefs. Does that clear it up? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can understand this but you can't understand cricket! :-) Thanks, Graham.--GrahamColmTalk 22:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I've never even seen cricket ... maybe I'm imagination deprived. :-)) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Trust me when I say that even watching cricket for an hour doesn't clue the viewer into its rules. --Laser brain (talk) 15:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
ah, ha, I have both of you here :-) Now please go work on fixing the criticism of the prose (after 11 days at FAC) on the talk page of Double Seven Day scuffle; my first criticized promotion :-( Would like to see it fixed so one of my promotions doesn't show up at FAR in 3 months. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:40, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm working on the To Kill A Mockingbird FAC review, but as I need a break from it, I'll take a look.--GrahamColmTalk 15:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Graham, you're turning into a regular regular :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have re-structured the Lead, but the criticism is about more than then just the prose. There are concerns over the sequence of events and I'm worried that I might introduce lots of errors if I attempt to address the concerns. I think the principal editor needs to take another look at this. I'll drop a note on their talk page. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 17:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
PS. A message is already there.
Yes; I'm discouraged that this wasn't picked up in 11 days at FAC. Dread the day one of my promotions appears at FAR :-( SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:41, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Late to the party, I see. Well, I will scan the list of concerns for anything I can fix. --Laser brain (talk) 00:19, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help Graham. The changes were fine and you might want to follow up since I have now done the other requests. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 05:25, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yet Another Request for Review

[edit]

Hi there — SandyGeorgia pointed me to you as someone who's willing to give reviews of potential FACs, and I was wondering if you could take a look at 2005 ACC Championship Game when you have a spare moment. It's an article about a particular game of American football, and I'm interested in getting feedback on how understandable it is to someone who knows nothing about American football. Any comments or feedback you'd care to give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. JKBrooks85 (talk) 23:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I will, I have some free time on Saturday, (it's getting close to midnight in the UK now), but please don't equate a person nowing zilch about American football with being a retard. :-) Best wishes, Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 23:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate it. JKBrooks85 (talk) 06:27, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've finished the review, and I hope it's useful.--GrahamColmTalk 14:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Most definitely. I really appreciate the time you spent on it, and if there's anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks a million. JKBrooks85 (talk) 21:38, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are too generous, I wish I could have been more helpful. I would be happy to take another look whenever you want. Best wishes, Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 22:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic job! Your comments have definitely helped, and I was able to pick over a few more things that I should've changed earlier as well. If it's not too much trouble, could you take another look at it? I've responded to your comments on the article talk page, but there's a few outlying things that I wasn't sure about. In addition, I'm always available if you ever need someone who knows nothing about cricket to take a look at an article. :) Thanks again! JKBrooks85 (talk) 07:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image description on Image:ElecMicro of HIV Retrovirus serum isolate Samp-HM47.jpg

[edit]

If you have a minute can you refine the caption on the Image:ElecMicro of HIV Retrovirus serum isolate Samp-HM47.jpg. I wanted to get that straightened out before I copied it to commons. I'm guessing that is TEM, but like I said before, I'm not certain at these things. -Optigan13 (talk) 02:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job on "Miss Ima"!
To all of the excellent editors who were part of the Karanacs-led collaboration to bring Ima Hogg to featured status, it was a pleasure working with you on such a fine article about a great lady. Thank you so much for your contribution to this fun collaboration.

Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

walter review

[edit]

I've given it many copyedits, but am prolly not going to see the same problems you and others will see. Had a LoC request for a while to no end, but asked Malleus for a c/e and put a notice at the board of the Scottish cabal. See what happens. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 13:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I read the article once more this morning and found it to be significantly improved. It is still little too wordy in parts and the King David section doesn't seem to be relevant enough to warrant such length. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 11:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I believe I've addressed your concerns at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Prague Spring, could you please take a second look? The Dominator (talk) 13:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just like you to note something. All of the examples you gave for your opposes are in pragraphs that were just added today or yesterday and haven't had a chance to be fixed. Themightyquill (god bless him) has expanded the article and his style is somewhat different from mine, he uses British spelling, I use American, he writes out the refs, I use citation templates. So these new additions have not been copyedited yet, but the rest of the article has, I will get Milkbreath, a good copyeditor who did the rest of the article, to copyedit the sections soon. If you have a problem with the article as a whole, just let me know, but from your oppose it seems that you saw many errors in this part of the article and assumed it was not thoroughly reviewed. The Dominator (talk) 22:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dominik, when you were writing the above, I was revisiting your article and have given it my support. But please delete that bad reference, (which was number 40). This is an important article and it deserves the widest readership possible. So, I'm not going to let my nit-picking stand in its way to FA. Lastly, it doesn't matter if it is written in British or American English, but please be consistent. Best wishes and good luck. Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 22:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, you mean the Russian protests reference right? The Dominator (talk) 23:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Right, I have poked my nose in and have deleted it. The "Red Square at Noon" reference is all you need, (and there is a good Wiki-link to the author). Graham. --GrahamColmTalk 23:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi, I believe I've addressed your concerns at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, could you please take a second look for me and tell me what else needs to be done? Limetolime talk to me look what I did! 23:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All of the changes you have requested have been done by me, but you have stated that there are more. Could ou please state them ALL here so I can do them? Thanks! Limetolime talk to me look what I did! 23:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, sorry, it's better if articles are fully copy-edited before being presented at FAC, (and please do not shout). I would be happy to look at the article later but I'm too busy to copy-edit it for you. --GrahamColmTalk 12:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's been copyedited, don't worry. Would you still re-review it? Limetolime talk to me look what I did! 23:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added in the BFI review (thanks for the find) and checked to make sure you didn't accidentally introduce any errors. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 21:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi David, thanks for your thanks. I need to read the article once more before "voting". Best wishes, Graham. GrahamColmTalk 21:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. I typed a '-' instead of the equal sign. Fixed now. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:39, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dear David, an FA class article on a not-so-good movie, ( I am old enough to remember Boris Karloff), but I'm adding my support; well done and good luck. Graham. GrahamColmTalk 22:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review. I liked the movie at least :P but the main reason I worked on it is 'cause the FAC reviewers would probably mutiny if I threw another video game at them... :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 23:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Kjetil, thanks for this. :-) Is it because the FDA (US) have approved a second rotavirus vaccine? GrahamColmTalk 21:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, it was actually about some new computer viruses ;-) --Kjetil r (talk) 02:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graham, congratulations on getting a shit article to the Main Page. Will we have to put up with any more of these crap subjects from you? Or have you made a rash decision to have something to eat first? Colin°Talk 16:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NewScientist (12 April 2008, p 7) cites PMID 18395579 as follows:

Gut bug busted
A vaccine tested in more than 15,000 infants in 10 Latin American countries successfully protected them against rotaviruses for their first two years of life. Only 32 infants fell ill in the group vaccinated with Rotarix, compared to 161 infants who did not receive the vaccine. (The Lancet, vol 371, p 1181). Rotaviruses cause fatal gut infections which kill half-a-million infants globally every year.

I think we managed to be more careful with our language than that! Colin°Talk 07:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ketogenic diet

[edit]

Thanks for your comments and photo tweaks. If you are interested, there's a whole WP department who do this sort of thing: Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Images to improve? Since I'm planning to replace those pics, I wouldn't want you wasting too much time on them. I'm very keen to hear more comments from you on unclear text and such like. I may be able to give other editors a hard time over their prose, but that doesn't mean I'm able to knock out "brilliant prose" myself :-(. The fact that (I assume) you know nothing about the subject means you've got much fresher eyes than me. Colin°Talk 18:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Graham, no hurry. Enjoy your Guinness. Only had time to pop in today and similar tomorrow. I'll try to respond to any questions but revising the text may take longer. Now you've read through, have you any ideas about perhaps reorganising the sections? Did you see Sandy's message at WP:MED about readability metrics. Made me think about some of your comments about "non-encyclopaedic" language (which I fully agree with -- I expect a level of precise and formal prose from an encyclopaedia). In trying to sound formal, do we sometimes alienate our readers by picking big words? Achieving the right balance isn't easy. Colin°Talk 21:44, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The KD features in today's Guardian. It features Matthew from the Matthew's Friends charity. Colin°Talk 12:33, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure. Perhaps the issues with a lack of dieticians and other support resources. But I can source some of that to this paper. The information Dr Cross gives, and the stats they have given, seem to be reported OK. If there are 60,000 children with medication-resistant epilepsy in the UK, and at most perhaps a dozen centres offering the KD in the UK, and the biggest of these can only manage 30 children at any one time, ... Do the maths. Colin°Talk 14:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to offend

[edit]

If I offended you at the Force FAC, I did not intend to and do apologize. ScienceApologist (talk) 23:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Having and an article at FAC can be very stressful. No apology is necessary; you didn't offend me at all. I know what's going on WRT Newton. I was just trying to cool you off a little ;-). Besides, you "comment" wasn't directed at me. It's strange that I get and apology from you but never got one for this [2]. I stand by what I said about Force - it's a bloody good article. Best wishes. Graham. GrahamColmTalk 05:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please strike comments. Ultra! 21:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the reminder. I'll strike the comments when I'm sure that whole article has been rigourously copy-edited. BTW, reviewers are not obliged to strike comments or respond to requests on their talk pages. It is more important for nominators to explain in full the changes that they have made to the article following comments at FAC. Best wishes, Graham. GrahamColmTalk 21:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You cite magnificent sources, sir! I'm very glad you have joined the FA-Team, as I am sure many others are.

    Great! We're going to be discussing how the first mission went soon, and input from outside observers would be great: of course you are now part of the team, but I know you have seen what we are trying to do from the outside too, so your input would be especially cool. Geometry guy 20:52, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hello,

another user gave the article a quick copy-edit. would you mind double checking to see if anything still needs attention after the clean up. Also, I'd rather keep the audio clips in tact for the time being. I'm working of gathering sources for commentary on Jackson's vocal/musical style and I dont want to have any important clips deleted in case i find exceptional analysis since I don't have the ability to create new clips.

2005 ACC Championship Game

[edit]

About a month ago, you graciously reviewed the article 2005 ACC Championship Game for me. During the past month, I've upgraded the article and incorporated your suggestions. I've just recently resubmitted the article for featured article candidacy, and I'd appreciate it if you could take another look at the article to see if it now meets your FA standards. Any comments, questions, or support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. JKBrooks85 (talk) 22:36, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Changes have been made according to your suggestions. JKBrooks85 (talk) 06:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userpage redesign

[edit]

Sure, though I'm not sure where to start... you got any ideas on what it should look like? Sceptre (talk) 19:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I thought you were too busy. Is there a better way of displaying my drawings other than using gallery? Can that picture of my study somehow go next to the portrait (age 15). And everytime I try to incorporate userboxes, they go all over the place. Whatever you can do I'm sure will be better than my feeble efforts. (You can see the user boxes I would like in the earlier versions). I'd like a nice border too! If you could fix this for me, I'll be your best friend for a week ;-). Graham.

FAR revisit

[edit]

Wikipedia:Featured article review/AIDS has been up for over a month now; would you mind revisiting concerns to discuss whether issues have been addressed, and to enter a Remove or Keep declaration as appropriate? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like TimVickers and OrangeMarlin have decided to engage and try to clean it up. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
