Hi Crisco:
Thank you for successfully nominating File:Papilio demoleus ALT by kadavoor.jpg; it is my first featured picture in English Wikipedia.
What about this file: File:Psyche_Leptosia_nina_mating_retushed.jpg; a retouched picture because I've a limitation to cover the entire frame with my closeup glass added in front of the camera. I don't know much editing so this is done by a friend in Commons.
BTW, Wish you a wonderful Easter filled with happiness, peace and love!
Regards, Jee Jkadavoor (talk) 08:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Any cahnce you would know how to extract a larger version of the lead image at George Clinton (vice president) from ? – Connormah (talk) 03:04, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
What is needed is suggestions for improvement; on Talk:Lagos so actions can be taken. Your comments would be appreciated.Otelemuyen (talk) 14:03, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Crisco, I'm sure you'll see it, but Livitup and I have responded at the FAC. The only ones I wasn't too sure about were the size of the coin and repetition between the first sentence of the lead and the rest of the paragraph. Also, could you let me know if you think I've dealt with Brian's objections sufficiently? I'm going to ping him and ask him to revisit his oppose soon, but I want to make sure things are nicely squared away before I do so. Also, Mathew and I have been discussing the constitution on the talk page, you may want to look at that too. Of course, this is all optional, take your time. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 19:40, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello Crisco,
I was not able to be on Wikipedia for a bit, and found that although the reviewer said there were no major issues, the article was rejected.
Both of the issues mentioned on the nomination are actually non-issues. The first sentence of the development section is wikilinked to the source of the quote, and the chief's name appears on the official website linked right underneath.
Could you help put this back up, as they said that there were no real issues?
Thank you, Aslbsl (talk) 13:49, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
That's right, regarding two things. And I show above that neither were actually issues, the reviewers just must have missed the links.
The reviewer also said that aside from those two referencing issues "Otherwise okey". That is why I ask for your help...

Thanks Victuallers (talk) 16:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
I've been looking over the article again, and almost the first thing I noticed was the weak opening to the lead, the lack of a strong declarative sentence that does more than merely say who the subject is, but says something striking to draw the reader in. This is becoming a bit of an obsession with me at the moment. What I suggest you do is add the following sentence to the first paragraph: "In a 40-year career he won many awards and accolades; in 2011 Rolling Stone Indonesia declared him the third-greatest Indonesian musician of all time". I have incorporated the existing lead's last sentence, which of course you would need to remove. Give it some thought. Brianboulton (talk) 19:07, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
(a bit later): in the Legacy section Chrisye is referred to as the "third-biggest" Indonesian musician, which sounds odd and wrong. The information about the list of the 150 Greatest Indonesian Albums of All Time doesn't seem to occur in the article at all. Brianboulton (talk) 19:27, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Crisco, thanks for thinking of me! I'd love to help with your PR, but I'm swamped at the moment. I'll try to stop by in a few days when things have quieted down. You may also consider asking Truthkeeper if she'd be interested; she's a huge help with literary FACs, and she knows her stuff. María (yllosubmarine) 13:15, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. In your recent article edits, you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Started. Sadly, I may have already taken this as far as the English-speaking web can take me. Right now it's disastrously over-reliant on the Amnesty International source, in part because I discovered late into writing this draft that a source I thought was distinct was simply a duplicate of sections of the report. Why don't you have a go in the next few days and see if you can get this sourced out to more places? The linked Media, Culture and Press in Indonesia book had two good pages on this that you might want to look at for reactions of journalistic organizations, and the AI report has all the investigation details you could want. It appears to have been written before the apparent fall guy's case was resolved, however, so we may have to go to Indonesian news for that.
Tomorrow's our baby shower, which my wife apparently thinks means I shouldn't check Wikipedia for at least the seven hours our friends and family are here. But on Sunday I should have time to hunt through the archives of RSF, CPJ, IFEX, etc. to see if there are any more reports, protests, updates, etc. that I can find.

When I run the text thru Google translate, it converts Chrisye into Tim Christensen ... which is confusing, because Tim Christensen is also a songwriter.
