On 17 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Spanish general election, 1936, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that "Vote Communist to save Spain from Marxism" was a Socialist joke during the 1936 Spanish general election? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it 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. |

Thanks for your reviewing work at A-class. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to get back to Livonian War ... with the time I have available, and given some static I'm getting on some of the non-AmEng articles, I've decided to stick with what I know best and give full reviews for AmEng articles only. We have a lot of good British, Australian and Canadian editors ... I expect one or more of them will be happy to help with any BritEng articles you're working on, either during A-class or before FAC. - Dank (push to talk) 23:11, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi. In your latest comment on this, you wrote:
I know you previously commented on the presence of new ideas about 'the bs' accent and demonym, but those were long gone by the time you made the above comment. At the same time you also requested The space then can be used for a better summary of other sections, with a more systematic treatment of the history, culture, religion and sports sections, but I'm not sure if that is still the nub of your later comment.
If you could give some examples of what you think is still missing (or present when it shouldn't be), it would certainly help us improve the lead. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:27, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Military history reviewers' award | ||
By order of the Military history WikiProject coordinators, for your good work helping with the WikiProject's Peer and A-Class reviews for the period April-June 2011, I hereby award you this Military history WikiProject Reviewers' award. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:42, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Keep track of upcoming reviews. Just copy and paste |
Hello Grandiose. I have started the review and added my comments here: Talk:German involvement in the Spanish Civil War/GA1. When you get a chance please have a look and we can work through the points. Just a few minor issues to get through before it can be promoted IMO. I will be away for a couple of weeks with work starting 20 July, so I had hoped to complete this review before I left but I don't think that will be possible now. As such if you are happy I will just leave it open with a view to finalising it when I return (on or around 4 August). Apologies for any inconvience this may cause. Regards.

Thanks for the message. I know the article is long. If you feel the edits just add to that, feel free to delete them. I'm not wedded to them and they don't seem in any way to be essential to the article. Mamalujo (talk) 21:19, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Grandiose, I've been checking out your contributions about the Spanish Civil War and I found this map File:Spanish general election map, 1936.svg. I think that you have forgotten the Canary Islands. Could you fix it? Great job! Best Rastrojo (D•ES) 15:23, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your message.
My involvement in this article is minimal. All that I have done, as far as I can remember, is to insert the correct collective title, and merge a small amount of information that was contained in the articles Parliament Act 1911 and Parliament Act 1949, including their infoboxes (which, I have just discovered, someone has altered in a way that makes it factually inaccurate), when it became apparent that another editor was determined to turn those articles into redirects, and do some consequential regrouping. I am not responsible for the bulk of the text.
For what it is worth, I still think that the best way to deal with this article is probably to split it in two.James500 (talk) 16:49, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. I fail to see what it is that you are objecting to, much less why. James500 (talk) 09:00, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
The German law governing the Spanish Cross can be found here Reichsgesetzblatt Nr. 139 page 1359 dated from 10 August 1939. MisterBee1966 (talk) 16:27, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
Great job. Can I interest you in expanding any of my new Spanish civil war battle stubs?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Well, you've most certainly impressed with the German involvement article!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:27, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations! | |
Thanks for all the work you did in making German involvement in the Spanish Civil War a certified "Good Article"! I guess I know as much about WWII as the next American college grad, but I'd never heard about this aspect. It's a fascinating read! (Pictured: the Spanish Civil War archive building at Salamanca.)
Thanks also for your reviews. Featured article candidates and Good Article nominees always need more reviewers! All the best, – Quadell (talk) |
Grandiose, I have started work on the copy edit you requested at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page. All my questions and editing proposals will be posted in the article talk page. Regards, Peter S Strempel | Talk 10:19, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi, just to mention that Cambalachero replied to your points at Talk:Juan Larrea/GA1 a few days ago - you may wish to have another look when you have a moment. Many thanks --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:14, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello!
I'm reviewing this article. Any progress to report? I'll check GA review every day, so I can see updates. Take your time. --Wustenfuchs 00:02, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the link, I plumped for the AJAX one Egg Centric 16:31, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for directing me to the resource exchange; it is precisely what I had in mind when I made that suggestion. I will remove the proposal from the pump, and sorry to bother you. Robert 00:40, 7 September 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert the Devil (talk • contribs)

The Military history A-Class medal | ||
By order of the coordinators of the Military history WikiProject, you are hereby awarded the Milhist A-Class medal for outstanding work on Livonian War, Background of the Spanish Civil War and Nyon Conference, all of which were promoted to A-Class between May and September 2011.

Thank you for your fine article work, and long may it continue! Best, EyeSerenetalk 16:42, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
Good evening! I was requested to copy-edit the Hurricane Paul (1982) article for it to comply with the GA criteria, and I have done so. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any other concerns; I'd be happy to address them. Cheers, ★ Auree talk 03:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
please address the issues-SCB '92 (talk) 10:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Franchise, EEF and Catalan are dablinks, fix these too please-SCB '92 (talk) 10:31, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
okay, it's a pass-SCB '92 (talk) 12:00, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
It came as a surprise to me that this was archived, and I've asked about that. - Dank (push to talk) 19:18, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your message. I agree that the best course of action at this time would be to withdraw the article from ACR. I investigated the sources more thoroughly last night and realised that some of the books cited were less than scholarly. Also, the topic of James Cook, his voyages and legacy needs more consideration. I have ordered (yet more!) books, second hand, of course, and I shall pursue Cook at a more appropriate pace.--Harkey (talk) 10:12, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
