Hello, I know you meant well but Amazon and Barnes and Noble cannot be used in a article like this. The article will fail with sources like that. Do not add them back. Cheers.--(NGG) 13:53, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Please explain the phrase "articles like this". B&N and Amazon are used as sources in the Twilight (novel) article, one of the most highly vandalized and popular WPNovels articles. And its fine if we don't add them, but we do need citations, don't we. I'll go and have a look around the FA & GA-class Novels articles and do as much as I can to improve the article. Right now, I am busy at Simple English Wikipedia too and will do the job tomorrow. Pmlinediter  ^Talk 13:57, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Look at the GAR at Firestar's Quest. Trust me, a reviewer will fail an article if it cites amazon or BNN.--(NGG) 13:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I'll work on it. Hopefully, it'll be ready in a few weeks. Cheers. Pmlinediter  ^Talk 14:05, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I tried working on the sources in the article but a lot of the reviews talked about in the article are only available to subscribers to the magazines.--(NGG) 14:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Let's see. There must be some solution to it. On another note, I want to invite you to join Simple English Wikipedia if you have the time. Both the VG and PJATO articles there are in dreadful condition (actually, there is no PJATO article there) and you can help improve it. Pmlinediter  ^Talk 14:13, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I had a short career there and I volunteer there sometimes but I want to focus on Wikipedia right now. It's my passion. Thanks for the invite though. Try looking for other notable reviews that are available for public seeing.--(NGG) 14:15, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Happy editing. Pmlinediter  ^Talk 14:16, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, the article, Feature model, has been edited by experts in the field and cites research conducted by themselves. As such it has been reported to the conflict of interest noticeboard: Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Feature_model. Could you take a look at and make suggestions to whether it is notable to the COI discussion as I (and others) have absolutely no idea what the article is about? Thanks a lot. Smartse (talk) 15:37, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The aforementioned article uses British English as standard. Therefore, I have reverted your edit and changed your "honors" back to "honours". – PeeJay 16:08, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

This seems a bit quiet - were you not able to come up with the support!? :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:47, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I have asked a few to join, but they seem to be inactive. I have been inactive for few days in the past few weeks.I have also been keeping busy with WP:PJTF and consequently, have not found time to seek for support. Hopefully, we'll be ready within few weeks. I'll attempt to convey the news of WP:HDMTF to as many as possible by the weekend. Pmlinediter  ^Talk 09:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

You might have noticed that you have come close to violating the three revert rule in the talk page of User:219.74.32.135. Be careful. Pmlinediter  ^Talk 08:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

My understanding of the three revert rule is that it does not apply in the case of persistent vandalism, which is exactly what was going on- a blocked user was abusing their talk page. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 08:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree, the IP vandal was refactoring another person's post, which is against the rules.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 08:50, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I know that. WP:3RR states "Reverting obvious vandalism – edits which any well-intentioned user would immediately agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding cruel or offensive language. Legitimate content changes, adding or removing tags, edits against consensus, and similar actions are not exempt. Administrators should block persistent vandals and protect pages subject to vandalism from many users, rather than repeatedly reverting. However, non-administrators may have to revert vandalism repeatedly before administrators can respond." I just wanted to give you a friendly notice to keep cool. Perhaps, you could have averted coming anywhere near to 3RR by requesting semi-protection after two reverts. Perhaps my note should have read "Try not to come close to 3RR even when reverting vandalism and go directly for page protection or change of block level." Cheers! Pmlinediter  ^Talk 08:53, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah ok fair enough, I'll make sure to do that in future. Out of interest, is there a better way of getting abused talk pages protected quicker than filing a request at WP:RPP, short of spamming admins? C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 08:57, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

No, unless you yourself are a sysop. I myself had to wait for over an hour yesterday and posted a note here, but the admins just joked. Sometimes, you can choose to ask an admin (preferably one whom you are acquainted with) requesting him to review the request. Happy editing. Pmlinediter  ^Talk 09:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I've fixed the dead links and removed uncited content. Is there anything else that I need to do?--HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 21:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Since you say that you have fixed the refs, I will start the review shortly. I will be inactive the next few days, but will try to finish the review by Sunday. Cheers, Pmlinediter  ^Talk 08:29, 22 May 2009 (UTC).

Thanks for uploading Image:JacobBlack.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
