Bear Lake County Courthouse[edit]

Please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article like this which already has a specific stub template - it just wastes the time of other editors. Thanks. PamD 23:01, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Same problem at KLBB-FM. PamD 23:04, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies Pam, it was my first time using the Page Curation tool and I didn't notice it was giving me already reviewed pages to review... lesson learnt. Smd49 (talk) 23:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's nothing to do with being previously reviewed - plenty of editors add a stub tag, either general or subject-specific, when they create an article. With Page Curation, as with any other semi-automated edits, you need to read the article and think about it before clicking any checkboxes! PamD 06:51, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

John London (priest) for DYK?[edit]

Hello, Smd49. Thank you for typing up this article. I have nominated it for use on the DYK? section on Wikipedia's MainPage. You can find the nomination here. You may want to join the discussion there in case reviewers there have questions or requests regarding the article. Thank you. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 09:14, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, PFHLai, much appreciated as it's my first full article - glad you could find something interesting in there!Smd49 (talk) 10:40, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, Smd49. This should appear on MainPage within a few hours. Please be encouraged to self-nominate your next wikicontribution for DYK. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 05:06, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for John London (priest)[edit]

On 6 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article John London (priest), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that part of John London's punishment for his role in a failed plot against Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer was to ride through several towns seated backwards on a horse and be pilloried? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John London (priest). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Ways to improve Jane Statham[edit]

Thanks for creating Jane Statham.

A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

Great work, but there are still some claims that do not have clear citations provided.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.
