Hi Palm dogg. Glad you found the peer review of Nawa-I-Barakzayi District article at Wikipedia:Peer review/Nawa-I-Barakzayi District/archive1 to be helpful. Actually, it is not necessarily over. The peer review has not been closed. You could, like many editors do, respond to the comments there, for example inserting your responses and/or asking questions. If you respond that you have edited to address a specific concern, then the reviewer who raised the concern may well give you further feedback on how you did. Also i noticed you have somehow put it up for GAR, but it seems not properly done as it is currently showing you yourself as the GA reviewer, and it also seems not correct to do while the peer review is still open, though i am not well informed about GA. I participate in the PR review process sometimes but frankly unfamiliar with how the GA process works. Anyhow, you could comment further in the PR or simply ask there that it be closed. --doncram (talk) 01:05, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I have to say I am very impressed by this article. For what its worth, well done. Anotherclown (talk) 11:33, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks! I served there, so it's a labor of love on my part! Palm_Dogg (talk) 12:59, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

I see that you are still an active editor. Would you be willing to take on maintenance of the USMC Portal? It has not seen regular maintenance for a long time. I hope you can do this. I rarely on Wikipedia these days and haven't been working on the Portal for years.

If you can't do this, perhaps you could recruit some fellow editors who have a passion for the Marine Corps.

Sorry but I kind of go in one-two month bursts of editing myself. I'd suggest just merging into the general Portal:Military of the United States. Palm_Dogg (talk) 13:13, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

It would be a shame that one branch of the US Military did not have its own Portal. Do you know any other editors who would be willing to take on the job? All work for a year — except "in the news" could be done in advance. — ERcheck (talk) 13:26, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm kind of a Wiki-Rōnin, so I don't know who else could. On the other hand, it looks like the other Service Portals are having the same problem so it might make sense to merge all of them. Palm_Dogg (talk) 13:57, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

I made some changes to it -- removed the "in the news" section — which requires at least monthly attention. The rest is automatic. I

If you feel so inclined, during your bursts of editing, I'd appreciate you taking a look at the portal. Thanks— ERcheck (talk) 14:11, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Will do! Semper Fi! Palm_Dogg (talk) 14:20, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

An article that you have been involved in editing, Nawa-I-Barakzayi District has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the good article reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. AIRcorn (talk) 22:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Psst...articles can't be at A-class review and FAC at the same time! Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 01:26, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I know, but User:Dank recommended it and I'm kind-of in a dead-end without copy editors. Palm_Dogg (talk) 02:08, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Ah ... sorry for being unclear, I meant you should take it to A-class if it failed FAC. I've just supported, and you should be okay on the prose requirements. Btw, I'm gathering sources for an article on robotics in the Iraq War ... don't know if that interests you, but you're welcome to co-nominate if you like. - Dank (push to talk) 12:32, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Much appreciated! For robotics, anything on the Danger Room blog should help out. I have to confess, though, that aside from the UAV's (and even then I'm only partial to the blimps) I'm not a big fan. Yes, it was safer to send a robot to defuse an IED than a man, but I just saw so many examples of needless technology -- the Army's robotic dogs and mules are my favorites -- that I'm skeptical of the field. Palm_Dogg (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I've just deleted Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Iraq War in Anbar Province as a housekeeping measure. This will make it easier for you to re-start the review in the event that the FAC isn't successful (the alternative is messing around with archives, which seems unnecessary). Regards,

Thank you, oh masked editor! Palm_Dogg (talk) 15:23, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

G'day, Palm_Dogg, I've been doing some work on articles around the topic of the

I just created it. The dramatic expansion was done by

Iraq War in Anbar Province and Nawa-I-Barakzayi District. If/when I finish those, I'll take another look. Palm_Dogg (talk

No worries, good luck with those articles. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 23:53, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm willing to help. I'd love to see this article featured. I think it's just a matter of pulling the text into line with the sources in some places. There aren't large discrepancies, but enough minor gaps to be concerning. --Laser brain (talk) 17:18, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! The other reason is I'm tied up this week until my Wiki-Duty on Friday, when I will be "standing" barracks duty all day with nothing to do except edit Wikipedia. I'll go through what I can before then, and then roll into it hard on Friday morning. Palm_Dogg (talk) 18:00, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Just created a Military History A-Class Review, if you want to jump in on that. Palm_Dogg (talk) 14:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Graham says one thing needs looking at. - Dank (push to talk) 03:47, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
