George Macaulay, which you peer reviewed, is at FAC here. Any comments appreciated, but understand cricket fatigue may have set in! For what it's worth, the main cricket points have been ironed out with Yellowmonkey. --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:05, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

I (hope?) I have completed all the actions as per your review other than the image which I need to research how to fix. I would appreciate you casting a brief glance over what I have done as further resulting comments would be very welcome Senra (Talk) 15:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording
Just so you know, since you offered a peer review, I just nominated the article Grammy Award for Best Disco Recording for Good status. Though it is a short article, I think it meets criteria. Anyways, thank you for your help and you are welcome to comment on the nomination if interested. Oh, and thanks again for all of your contributions for the List of parks in Portland--it might be time for a break since the summer weather has fled the Northwest, but hopefully we can get a good group to resume work on the list next spring/summer. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:40, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your time and efforts at AMX, your suggestions were indeed helpful. I fixed what I could but I would appreciate your help on fixing the repetitious material. Would you mind doing a copy edit to help me address this issue? — GabeMc (talk) 19:17, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
thank you
Thank you for your comments at PR (Navajo Nation). It was helpful, not so much concerning the technicalities (I'm quite aware of sourcing and such), but it re-affirmed my notion that I'll probably have to kill most sections and start from scratch; I guess I needed another pair of eyes to come to the same conclusion. I just couldn't find another more appropriate venue to get someone else's assessment. I did read the statement about "what peer reviewis for", but couldn't find any "lower-level" feedback venue. Does it exist (for a case like this one where the talkpage seems pretty much unused...)? If not, I'll be content with becoming the sole (or main) author of the re-write.

Pennsylvania Board of Canal Commissioners
You have created many articles on Pennsylvania's canals, and added to many others on the same subject. Starting with White Horse Farm, I started to read about Elijah F. Pennypacker, who was a member of the Pennsylvania Board of Canal Commissioners. Google searches tell me that there is a lot of information about the PA Board of Canal Commissioners, including official records. Would you think that a separate article would be justified, considering the many other politicians on that board, and the many canals built? --DThomsen8 (talk) 02:18, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Klang (Stockhausen) review
Many thanks, Finetooth, for the many helpful suggestions in your review, most of which have now been implemented. I have responded to your seven open questions on the review page, but I would like to ask your advice about one point you raised. You stated, "'Himmelfahrt (Ascension), for organ or synthesizer, soprano, and tenor. 2004–05 (36 mins.). Work number 81. The specified colour is deep violet-blue.' - Although the article seems well-sourced, it's good practice to provide at least one source for every paragraph except, usually, the paragraphs in the lead. Most paragraphs in the article are sourced, but this one isn't". I concede I have been concerned about this. It is not usual in music articles to supply an inline citation to the score of a composition that is the subject of an article or section, at least as far as things like the title of the work, opus number, instrumentation, etc. are concerned. The associated colour, however, is unusual, and so may require a citation (also for the other 20 Hours—or even 23 Hours, since the colours were assigned for the three planned compositions that were never written). However, in the case of the First Hour, this entails citing the cover of the score or the colour wheel published by the composer in at least two different places. Unlike most of the other scores, those for the first four Hours do not include a statement of the standard HKS number in the preface—it is necessary to look at the type on the cover (or consult the colour wheel, which cannot be reproduced anywhere near as accurately as a single HKS colour). Do you think this is a reasonable way to cite a colour, or does this require "expert knowledge" to interpret, in the same way that a traditional musical score with a three-sharp signature requires expert knowledge to determine whether it is in A major or F♯ minor? If you think this may be a problem, do you have any alternative suggestion?—Jerome Kohl (talk) 23:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Main page appearance
This appeared on my talk page today. You deserve the honor too for all you hard work... you are the one who got the article to FA status. Thank you for everything you did on the article. Bgwhite (talk) 00:03, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on November 22, 2010. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/November 22, 2010. If you think that it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director, Raul654 (talk · contribs). If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks!

The Jordan River is a stream, about 51 miles (82 km) long, in the U.S. state of Utah. Regulated by pumps at its headwaters at Utah Lake, it flows northward through the Salt Lake Valley and empties into the Great Salt Lake. Four of Utah's five largest cities—Salt Lake City, West Valley City, West Jordan and Sandy—border the river. More than a million people live in the Jordan Subbasin, which is the part of the Jordan River watershed that lies within Salt Lake and Davis counties. During the Pleistocene, the area was part of Lake Bonneville. Members of the Desert Archaic Culture were the earliest known inhabitants of the region; an archaeological site found along the river dates back 3,000 years. Mormon pioneers led by Brigham Young were the first European-American settlers, arriving in July 1847 and establishing farms and settlements along the river and its tributaries. The growing population, needing water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use in an arid climate, dug ditches and canals, built dams, and installed pumps to create a highly regulated river.

Thanks
I have to personally thank you again for the article you found while researching the Petitcodiac River. An extremely useful Government of New Brunswick publication I had overlooked used it as a source and, as a result, I am now able to drastically expand the Geology and Wildlife sections, create a new Recreation section, and add little bits to the Watershed section. I know that the nomination is hard to support at this stage, but it's this type of help that really gives nominators the necessary boost to bump such a nomination to get a feasible chance at a promotion. Keep it up, and thanks. EricLeb01 (Page | Talk) 03:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello. A while ago, you reviewed the article Silver Reef, Utah, giving suggestions on how to improve it before a GAN is attempted. A user has nominated the article, but I'm certain that the article isn't ready yet. You mentioned in your review that a few of the sources aren't reliable. I haven't gotten to fixing that yet. Is there a way I can put the nomination on hold so I can work on the article? Thanks, The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 22:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hi The Utahraptor. I think the only way is to convince the nominator to defer to your wishes. I posted a note about this just now to the Silver Reef talk page. I hope this helps. Finetooth (talk) 23:04, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
- They still aren't withdrawing the nomination. Would you mind reviewing it so I know exactly what needs to be done? The UtahraptorTalk/Contribs 19:41, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Warren County, Indiana
Greetings! I've requested a peer review of the Warren County, Indiana article, and I saw your name on the list of volunteers for geography-related articles, so I wondered if you would have any interest in providing input on this article. We've spent a lot of time improving it, but there may well be some issues that need to be resolved. Thanks for your consideration. Omnedon (talk) 03:31, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review of this article, which seemed very thorough; I've begun addressing the points you raised, and I very much appreciate your time and effort on this. I'll continue to update the PR page as work progresses. Omnedon (talk) 01:54, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- This is my first time through a peer review, and I was wondering if you would have any further comment on the article, or if I need another reviewer to look at the article, and how this process gets completed. I did ask a couple of other editors if they'd review the article as well, but that hasn't happened yet. Most of the issues you identified have been addressed; there are still a couple of areas that we are fleshing out which require some research, but we expect to have that done soon. Thanks for any advice you can give. Omnedon (talk) 20:33, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Evelyn Waugh: sources
I was very grateful for your support at FAC, and the nom looks in pretty good shape. Could I ask you, when you have time, to briefly revisit the FAC page and review the sources? It seems I am the only editor currently doing FAC sources reviews, so unless someone steps in, this aspect of the Waugh article may remain unreviewed! I don't anticipate any sources issues arising. I have asked Ruhrfisch if he would look at the images, another area in which FAC reviewing is somewhat uncertain at present. Where have all the flowers gone?

Hi, i am Jivesh from Mauritius. I usually edit Beyonce related articles in Wikipedia. I am currently working on Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) since three weeks. It took me a lot of time and research to expand the article. I will take it to FA soon. Actually, i saw your peer review of "Bad Romance" and it is just flawless. May I tell you that you did an amazing job. I will be very happy if you could do the same for me for "Single Ladies". I will sincerely be very happy and grateful to you.

Hey Finetooth. I'm coming to you because you've always been extremely helpful in peer reviewing articles. South Park (season 13) has currently been nominated for featured article. However, there have been disputes recently regarding the use of the infobox image. The article itself has been well-reviewed, and literally no other actionable concerns have been addressed about it, but unfortunately the image issue has largely overtaken the FAC discussion. I very badly need people to review the entire FA criteria of the episode, not simply the image. At the suggestion of the FA delegate, I'm seeking people to weigh in on the entire criteria, and was hoping you would take a look? Much appreciated in advance. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 02:17, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Because with these comments, it's like the third, fourth or fifth time you help me improving an article, but unlike the previous PRs, in which I could change things in the respective articles, you are giving me a different point of view of what I believe a FAC is, and how I can handle them.

Juha Vainio
Hi Finetooth, and thanks again for your helpful comments in the Juha Vainio peer review. You recommended adding translations for the Finnish-language song names, book titles etc. Do you think I should add them in parentheses in the text, as is currently done in the article? I'm concerned the text might get too distracting for the reader if there are a lot of translations in parentheses in the middle of sentences. Translating the song titles seems like a tricky task, by the way, especially since some of the titles that contain wordplays and made-up or obscure words :) Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 14:40, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Finetooth! I read your useful suggestions about the common eland article. I think I can answer some of your questions you asked there:
- "A coat of arms is, strictly speaking, a distinctive heraldic design on a cloak used to cover and protect armour, but the term is more broadly applied to mean a full heraldic achievement which consists of a shield and certain accessories."- I've got this santence from Wikipedia's own article Coat of Arms. The sentence is the definition given there.
- For the verifiability, I didn't get much sources-but I'm trying to get more sources.
- Some of the citations are incomplete or malformed. Actually when I was creating the citations, I wasn't well at that. But now I'm able to create such citations. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for all your help. I would try to develop this article. --Sainsf<^> (talk) 15:31, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Peer review of article RVCE
Hello Finetooth, I really appreciate you reviewing the article RVCE on Dec 23. I found your assessment here very useful, and today, I made many changes to the article, in order to make the article comply to the WP:MOS and of course, with your suggestions in mind all the time. If you can make the time, would you consider taking another look at the article, and point out if it is better, or worse, or just the same.
Here are some changes I have done to the article, many of them, as you suggested in your review.
- Improving lead section
- Arranging images so that they don't overlap sections
- standardising the style of writing the date in citations
- fixing some citations
- adding more citations
- introducing more relevant sections
- adding more images
- removing bulleted lists in many places
I have thoroughly gone through Wikipedia:College_and_university_article_guidelines, and I think most of the article complies with this. Also, many of the citations are links to the college website itself. The guideline mentions that this is acceptable (the college website has overpuffery in many places, but I have usually taken care to bring out only the facts from that. hope it is acceptable to you).
Also, I had a question regarding sections like "environmental initiatives", and "facilities". In the guideline, it advises us to write about buildings in the campus, and environmental initiatives (if any). I think you will agree with me that for these kinds of sections, articles from third party sources are almost impossible to find (unless it is a very famous building). As of now, in the article, they stand uncited. What is the standard way of dealing with such sections?
Also, in your review, you mentioned the presence of various bulleted lists. I have removed the bulleted lists, and converted them to prose in various places, but in some places like "Departments", I couldn't think of a way to write it in a prose format, chiefly because there are 11 departments, and writing them in a prose format would take up a lot of space.
Looking forward to your comments. Thanks! TheMike •Wassup doc? 18:16, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Bridge TFA
Thanks for watching it and your kind words. I was surprised to see it will be on the Main Page. A quick look shiows that there is at least one dead link (the msnbc.com article on bad bridges by state) that I want to try and find a better ref for. I also want to upbate the National Bridge Inventory data. Only wish is that there were a little more time before the article hits the Main Page. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 21:56, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

C. D. Howe article needs a reviewer
Agent finetooth, if you choose to accept this assignment... FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:26, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks and Qs
Finetooth, many thanks for your thorough and thoughtful review of Mantra-Rock Dance. I am learning a lot just by reading your comments. I have implemented most of your suggestions except for the ampersand one, as "&" appears to be built into {{harv}}
by design. I followed your suggestion regarding the layout and swapped the images throughout the article. Would you mind taking a look at them now and letting me know? As for the link inside a direct quote, can we link the whole direct quote, like this: "Stanley Mouse-inspired"? I could not decide for myself by reading WP:MOSQUOTE. Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 08:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for further comments, Finetooth. I think I'll stick with ampersands as using |Bromley and Shinn| in the template requires that this string be used as a tag in the reference cited. Would you mind marking your comments as resolved on the PR page? And do you think the article is ready for GAN now? Cinosaur (talk) 19:31, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- I thought all it took was {{subst:rc|1=Comments}} to mark all of your comments resolved in one go, and I thought that was required, but never mind. Many thanks again. Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 20:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
- Fair enough, Finetooth. You've been very helpful and accommodating. Thank you very much. Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 21:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Happy 10th
HeyBzuk (contribs) has bought you a whisky! Sharing a whisky is a great way to bond with other editors after a day of hard work. Spread the WikiLove by buying someone else a whisky, whether it be someone with whom you have collaborated or had disagreements. Enjoy!
Awesome
Your efforts on behalf of the Peer review page during the past few weeks have been truly astonishing. This is to let you know that, since Ealdgyth has returned, more or less, to FAC source reviewing, I don't have to spend so much time there, so I will be able to return to peer reviewing on a much more regular basis - though I don't expect to match your industry! But if you feel like a bit of a break, don't worry, I'll do enough to keep the backlog at bay. I hope you enjoy the party later tonight. Brianboulton (talk) 00:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- I looked at Peer review just before I saw Brian's comment on my watchlist, and was amazed at the number of reviews you had done there. Thanks and I too will try to do more there. Happy Tenth! Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:12, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you both. I have been on something of a reviewing roll, though a couple of research and writing projects are looking very enticing. I'm glad to hear Ealdgyth is back. Finetooth (talk) 02:49, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
Burger King peer review
Thanks for the help, I needed some fresh eyes on that. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 05:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
Wallkill Valley Rail Trail review
Thanks for the help, I believe I've addressed all your issues. Please see my comments on the review for more information about the hiking infobox.

Talk page templates
First, I must say that I admire your work on many Pennsylvania canal articles, including the Leiper Canal, which was not far from where I live. If you look at the talk page for that article, you will see that I have added two templates, and provided class and importance for all three templates. As you create or update Pennsylvania articles, I would appreciate it if you could do likewise, especially since you know the canal subjects better than I do. My goal is to have no unrated Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania articles. --DThomsen8 (talk) 18:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Lofty Large peer review
Many thanks for the review of this article—all good stuff, and I shall act on it accordingly. As you suggest, I'll have a crack at a couple of peer reviews myself as well. Arthur Holland (talk) 12:26, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Article: 17 August 2010 Baghdad bombings
Yes I did try asking one of the WikiProjects listed on the articles' talkpage just a few minutes ago, because I've totally forgot about this article. Unfortunately silly old me "Peer Review" isn't a place for any feedback on the article to assess it even though it's in that WikiProject. Next time I'll ask my neighbours' American Pitbull dog for an assessment, while the other contributers who tried to help I appreciated their feedback and suggestions.

Petrified Forest National Park - FP nomination
Hi Finetooth, just letting you know that one of your images has been nominated for FP. Currently there are two versions dicussed, and I think your opinion as the author would be valuable. Note that you as author also have the right to vote for the nomination, and that the nomination will close in less than a day. --Elekhh (talk) 01:22, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- I am not sure if I understand correctly, but if you support the original without the potentially misleading extended caption, please state so, so that the closer can judge accordingly. Elekhh (talk) 05:52, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Questions about Collaboration of the Week
Hi Finetooth, I am a PhD student from the Carnegie Mellon University. I am interested in the Wikipedia community, especially the mechanism of Collaboration of the Week. I noticed that you have participated in WikiProject Oregon’s collaborations before. Could you please take several minutes to answer five questions if possible? Thanks for your help!
1. How many times (approximately) have you participated in Wikiproject Oregon's Collaboration of the Week?
2. Why did you participate in the Collaboration of the Week?
3. Do you feel you become a better editor through participating in the collaborations? If so, could you provide some examples?
4. How did Collaboration of the Week change your behaviors (if any)? What caused the changes?
5. Are you still participating Wikiproject Oregon's collaboration of the week recently? Why?
You could leave your answers either in your or my talk page if possible. Thanks for your time! We have the same goal to make Wikipedia a better place.
Cheers --Haiyizhu (talk) 21:50, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Done now
Hi Finetooth, I'm now done with another round of fiddly tweaks to Finnhorse. You can return to your very thorough review work if you want to. Sorry to dive into the middle of your efforts! :-) Montanabw(talk) 00:58, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the peer review
Thank you so much for reviewing SS Edmund Fitzgerald. Your suggestions were very clear, helpful learning guides that helped improve the article.--Wpwatchdog (talk) 17:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
PR of Robert Rossen
Hi, Finetooth. Thanks for Wikipedia:Peer_review/Robert_Rossen/archive2. I've reviewed all (I think) your comments, have make most of the suggested changes, and have a few responses that I'd like for us to discuss. --Philcha (talk) 16:14, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, Finetooth. I'm going off to WP:GAN now.--Philcha (talk) 09:02, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
