Hi,
I fixed everything you requested for the 2004 Oscars.
There are two WP:RFCs at WP:FOUR. The first is to conflate issues so as to keep people from expressing meaningful opinions. The second, by me, is claimed to be less than neutral by proponents of the first. Please look at the second one, which I think is much better.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:33, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
Your comments were resolved at the FLC. Please, talkback there. Thanks.—Prashant 16:22, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I was wondering why any lists has not been promoted, just curious since I am seeing lots of list ready to be promoted. I would really appreciate a response. — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 21:50, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Point taken, but you could have stated these defects in the article in the previous review, but didn't, which is a bit odd, since you opposed it, and then simply "left".... --TIAYN (talk) 15:15, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I need your inputs here —Vensatry (Ping me) 06:36, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
This year's final is upon us. Our final eight, in order of last round's score, are:
We say goodbye to eight great participants who did not qualify for the final: Piotrus (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), Dana boomer (submissions), Status (submissions), Ed! (submissions), 12george1 (submissions), Calvin999 (submissions). Having made it to this stage is still an excellent achievement, and you can leave with your heads held high. We hope to see you all again next year. Signups are now open for the 2014 WikiCup, which will begin on 1 January. All Wikipedians, whatever their interest or level of experience, are warmly invited to participate in next year's competition.
This last month has seen some incredible contributions; for instance, Cwmhiraeth's Starfish and Ealdgyth's Battle of Hastings—two highly important, highly viewed pages—made it to featured article status. It would be all too easy to focus solely on these stunning achievements at the expense of those participants working in lower-scoring areas, when in fact all WikiCup participants are doing excellent work. A mention of everything done is impossible, but here are a few: Last round saw the completion of several good topics (on the 1958, 1959 and 1962 Atlantic hurricane seasons) to which 12george1 had contributed. Calvin999 saw "S&M" (song), on which he has been working for several years, through to featured article status on its tenth try. Figureskatingfan continued towards her goal of a broad featured/good topic on Maya Angelou, with two featured and four good articles. ThaddeusB contributed significantly to over 20 articles which appeared on the main page's "in the news" section. Adam Cuerden continued to restore a large number of historical images, resulting in over a dozen FP credits this round alone. The WikiCup is not just about top-importance featured articles, and the work of all of these users is worthy of commendation.
Finally, the usual notices: If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi, could you please review the Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Olympic men's ice hockey players for Switzerland/archive1 again? I saw that you noted your comments were resolved, but your vote was not changed - if you still oppose, can you advise me what else needs to be addressed? Thanks, Anthony (talk) 13:53, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
If you are interested, would you be able to give comments on my new FLC? I would really appreciated! Thanks! Also, I was wondering when you are going to promote lists? Do you check every weekend? I am asking since you are the only director promoting lists which I see it is pretty unfair to you and nominators. — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 17:45, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello. Just letting you know that I have responded to your new concerns at the 1924 Rose Bowl FAC. Thanks for looking through the article again. - Awardgive. Help out with Project Fillmore County 23:56, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey, just a quick note to let you know I've quit being FLC director, fed up with the snarky comments I find all over Wikipedia from various sources. I have other things going on in real life which overtrump this position, and I'm done with being made to feel I'm not "doing the job properly". Hope it works out well for you; time allowing, I may be around for a bit now and again. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:04, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
I do not want to canvass, I am sorry however when you get a chance would you please respond to my comments on my FLC? Also, I want to know how to sign up to become a FL director or delegate? I do not want to become one, I am just curious. — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 19:35, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there.
I was wondering if you will be could proofread: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/62nd Academy Awards/archive1. Please note that because of some limitations on older Oscar ceremonies, this list follows the 1st Academy Awards format done by User:Tbhotch rather than others such like the 82nd Academy Awards and such. I understand your busy schedule (I usually wait two weeks until I ask you a request), but I would be grateful for the extra help and support. Thanks.
As I previously said I am not interested on a becoming a driector or delegate, I was just woundering, for further knowledge. However, you never know, I might change my mind. Is there a problem, with curiosity? — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 02:26, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey Giants. First, my apologies for not being as active as I should be, but I have put myself to full speed again. Now, I did not know that something like this, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Delegate election, ever took place. I became a delegate after a long talk with TRM but he never mentioned that :)
Now, I have a few names in my head that are strong candidates to become FL delegates and I would like to share these names with you when I have them ready. I would also like to know if NapHit will still be a delegate. He did a great hob but he has been inactive as delegate (and barely active overall), since January. I know that he is on a one-year flight to Australia but I wanted yout input about it. Cheers. — ΛΧΣ21 03:08, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know that I fixed everything you listed in Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/62nd Academy Awards/archive1. Thanks for the suggestions.
Hi Giants, Hope all is good with you. Are you now the decision maker for TFL dates? I've got List of works by H. C. McNeile filed for a front page show at the moment, and was wondering if it's possible to consider the date closest to 28 September, which was McNeile's birthday. I see you already have something in for the closest day (List of 1930s jazz standards on September 30) and I'm also hoping to have the McNeile article as TFA, if I can get enough support at WP:Today's featured article/requests#H. C. McNeile, both of which facts may mean that I'm going to be out of luck on that score. Is there a chance for the 30th, or have I left it too late? Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:55, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks you so much for the pre-FLC review! That mean the world to me, for a minute I thought you forgot! LOL! Well, I have replied to you're comments, can you take a lot when you have a chance, please? Furthermore, do not forget to replied to me at my FLC. There is just one comments, that has to be talk about. Thank you so much for you're service in both lists! Thanks again! — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 03:30, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
I have a quick question. How do I cite sources that are retrieved from an online database such as Proquest?
Hi Giants, I come to you cap in hand, so to speak. I know you are exceptionally busy with FLC after TRM's resignation, but I wondered if you would consider carrying out a peer review on the Victorian-era cricketer Lionel Palairet? I have no yet listed the article for a peer review, as given the state of things there, I felt it would be better to have a reviewer lined up first. If you are willing then I will open such a review, and I would exceptionally grateful. However, if you are too tied up with other things at the moment, I would understand fully and certainly not hold it against you. Regards, Harrias talk 20:26, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. I would really appreciated if you can get back at Talk:40th Daytime Emmy Awards#Pre-FLC review. Thanks! — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 02:28, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
Because of your active involvement in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Juwan Howard/archive5 and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Tommy Amaker/archive1, I thought you might be interested in commenting at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2012–13 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team/archive1.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:22, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there. Don't you think at Featured lists in Media the section, that the emmys featured lists deserved it own bullet point, like the Academy Awards ones? I mean Ex: Emmy Awards: Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series etc... What do you think? Also, do not forget to respond to me at Talk:40th Daytime Emmy Awards! lol, I do not want to sound annoying! — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 19:11, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
Hey, I know that you giving me review comments has led you to lose interest and regrets, which I am very sorry for. However I assure you, it will never repeated itself and to proove I have a new FLC ongoing and I was wondering if you take time to review it when you get a chance? I know it has only been up for 4 days but it does not hurt to ask, right? — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 01:43, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there.
I was wondering if you will be could proofread: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/64th Academy Awards/archive1. I understand your busy schedule (I usually wait ten days until I ask you a request), but I would be grateful for the extra help and support. Thanks.
Thank you for your quick comment regarding an error on one of the footnotes there. If you did have a little time in the near future to come back and give it a second look (and perhaps eventually your support), I'd appreciate it. Nevertheless, thanks for your help. --ColonelHenry (talk) 12:41, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there,
Just wanted to let you know that I fixed everything you listed in Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/64th Academy Awards/archive1. Thanks for the suggestions.
Just wanted to let you know that I've started an FAC review for 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. As you may remember, you were nice enough to help with the peer review of the article back in June. Unfortunately it has taken me a while to dedicate enough time to this article to feel comfortable nominating it for FAC. If you have time, would you mind reading the article again and providing additional feedback for it's improvement (or support for it's promotion). Thank you. --SkotyWATC 00:44, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there,
I fixed the semicolon problem.
Looks like nobody has opposed the idea, although I would have liked to see more comments. However, I am looking forward with starting the elections on Oct. 1 using this schedule. I will ask for {{cent}} and watchlist notices, as well as Signpost coverage. Any suggestions? — ΛΧΣ21 03:30, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi there,
I want to cite a book that is offered online/digital format. However, there are no page numbers. Yet I know this book is an actual one because if you search on WorldCat or other library catalogs, it shows that it does exist. How do I cite a source without its page number?
In 30 days, we will know the identity of our 2013 WikiCup champion. Cwmhiraeth (submissions) currently leads; if that lead is held, she will become the first person to have won the WikiCup twice. Sasata (submissions), Hawkeye7 (submissions)—who has never participated in the competition before—and Casliber (submissions) follow. The majority of points in this round have come from a mix of good articles and bonus points. This final round is seeing contributions to a number of highly important topics; recent submissions include Phoenix (constellation) (FA by Casliber), Ernest Lawrence (GA by Hawkeye7), Pinniped, and red fox (both GAs by Sasata).
The did you know (DYK) eligibility criteria have recently changed, meaning that newly passed good articles are accepted as "new" for did you know purposes. However, in the interests of not changing the WikiCup rules mid-competition, please note that only articles eligible for DYK under the old system (that is, newly created articles or 5x expansions) will be eligible for points in this year's WikiCup. We do, however, have time to discuss how this new system will work for next year's competition; a discussion will be opened in due course. On that note, thoughts are welcome on changes you'd like to see for next year. What worked? What didn't work? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? All Wikipedians, new or old, are also warmly invited to sign up for the 2014 WikiCup.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I hope this is not canvassing. I see that you archive one list but did not bother to look at others that need to wheather be promoted or archived. Don't get me wrong you do a great job and I respect that. I was just wondering why do did you only look at that list. Sorry, I really hope I do not get accuse of canvassing, I am just curious. — SoapFan12 (talk, contribs) 23:35, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello Giants2008,
I have yet again nominated my article, 1924 Rose Bowl, at FAC (nom page here). Because you reviewed the article previously, I was wondering if you would be willing to look at it again. I have addressed all of your concerns on your previous review, so there have been no changes to the article. Much appreciated, - Awardgive. Help out with Project Fillmore County 04:09, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Hey, I just want to pop in and let you know that I have responded to all your comments here. Thanks for giving them! Toa Nidhiki05 22:08, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
The refs for the article look to be in good shape, actually, so I think it's good to go! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:01, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi there.
I was wondering if you will be could proofread: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/68th Academy Awards/archive1. I understand that the Featured list delegates election is slowing down the process and keeping you busy (I usually wait ten days until I ask you a request), but I just want some feedback on grammatical errors or contents and I would be grateful for the extra help and support. Thanks.
