Images that were tagged are now resolved (as Commons), but it's clear TWINKLE has a slight issue, in that it's trying to place

Poker images for deletion
You may now be aware that the graphs of your poker hands were nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 June 1. If you believe you have a single argument for keeping them all, just put it on the first nomination and explain it's valid for all others (it works). If you have individual arguments, you'll have to post in the individual entries. If you agree by now that it was a bad idea to upload them to being with, consider deleting them yourself to save the community from the work of cleaning this mess.

Hey Tony, what's up with this article? Have I missed anything? Anything else needs to be done before you pass it? (she asks hopefully) ;) Christine (talk) 16:11, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Ok, so I think I've addressed all the concerns. You requested at the bottom of the review, though, that I should "comment on remaining issues from original concern". Are you talking about the links that I had overlooked (which are now corrected), or some of the issues about music and pop culture? If the latter's the case, I think that I've addressed them. We may need to come to a consensus about these things, so let me know how you think we should do that. Christine (talk) 12:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Tony, thanks for the pass. You're nothing if not fair. Great workin' with ya. Christine (talk) 22:16, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Shackleford lead
Hi Tony, I tweaked the lead quite a bit on Shackleford, to do the "lead should summarize the rest of the article" thing, with the intent of bringing it more into line with the wiki MOS for a GA. I see this isn't your first GA rodeo, either, so I hope my edits work for you. I'll support the GA nom to the best of my ability, let me know if there is anything in particular that may also need to be done. I popped the pedigree stuff in the lead down to the pedigree section, and then brought up snippets from subsequent paragraphs into the lead. I normally hate to write my own lead, as I usually have seen the article too much, but this time it was pretty straightforward and it helped that I was only a partial contributor, not the lead contributor. I hope the changes make the GA nom go smoother. Good luck! Montanabw(talk) 17:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

RE: Sam Barnhart
I had left a topic on the talk page of that article, and largely due to a lack of an objection I had decided to add him in. It was due to this link:[1] which I couldn't see a fault in. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 17:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
I just dislike how that would leave a bracelet unaccounted for. What if Sam Barnhart were to become notable in future? JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
The site is calling the bracelet the "first gold bracelet of 2011" in the opening paragraph, as well as counting the bracelet as the "893rd gold bracelet in WSOP history [...] this figure includes every official WSOP event played." As much as it was unexpected, it IS being touted as an official bracelet. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 17:51, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
Re: File moves of archive pages
Hi Tony, it's perfectly fine to update file links on archive pages. Just change all the links when you move the file. Graham87 05:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Oh, change all links except the inline links (those starting with "[[:"). This edit turned your message into nonsense. Graham87 03:01, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
I take that back, partially; I think your change to Wikipedia talk:Featured sound candidates/Archive 5 was acceptable. But when the discussion is about the actual filenames, it doesn't make sense to change them. Graham87 03:22, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, that one was OK. Graham87 13:59, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Here We Go Again: Celebrating the Genius of Ray Charles
Nice additions. I think it would be good to add samples of the songs as well, the one that you uploaded (the first version) would be a good way to start since it is the song that gives the title to the album and maybe also a sample of "Cryin' Time", that is mentioned by one of the critics.--GDuwenTell me! 01:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the sample. I think that the article is good enough to be nominated to GA now, thanks for the help.--GDuwenTell me! 15:22, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
I withdrew the nomination because after some recommendations from another user I wasn't so sure that the article was ready to be reviewed. Do you think that is good enough?--GDuwenTell me! 21:50, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
I will try to improve the article based on other album GA's and as soon as I feel that it is ready I will nominate it again. Probably sometime during this week.--GDuwenTell me! 03:45, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I left a note on the article's talk page, but there is already a Coppola family template. As such, would you be willing to restore the Prod? That way we don't have to go through an AfD when the objection to the prod was not correct (unless I'm misunderstanding your objection). Qwyrxian (talk) 02:09, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
WP:CANVASS
Sending around a mass message to editors asking them to come along to featured sound candidates to clear the backlog, but pointedly omitting to message some editors, sounds like a clear case of canvassing. Tony(talk) 03:34, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
On an unrelated note, I'd ask that you refrain from nominating any more brass band arrangements of music where such music is not wanted, regardless of whether the style of that rendition/arrangement is underrepresented at FS, they are of little EV and do not illustrate their respective articles particularly well.

My name is Hannah and I am an MSc student at Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford. I am currently working on my thesis titled ‘The Relationship between Quality of Collaborative Knowledge and Authorship: A Comparative Case Study of Google Knol vs. Wikipedia’. I’m aiming to compare quality of articles from Google Knol and Wikipedia and I need your help in identifying what authors do to make sure they write the best quality article.
If you agree to participate, you will be interviewed via email, Skype or any other means of your choice.
With your help, I hope to learn about the impact that the unique structural design of the two services have on article quality and thus hopefully for the Internet industry, increase awareness of the implications of design choices for the quality of user-generated content.
All data you provide will be anonymised and stored confidentially. You may withdraw at any time without prejudice and without providing a reason. In the event of withdrawal, data you already provided will immediately be removed.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at hannah.kim at oii.ox.ac.uk
I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Best,
Hannah

Your "bio"
At this point, would you be comfortable with the idea of deleting
User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio_Vernon, as it's unnecessary and embarrassing? --damiens.rf
Per request. So, you created the article. You did very little work on the article before it was nominated at T:TDYK and then at GAN, but you were the one who nominated it both times ([2][3]). Finally, you nominated it at FAC, where it failed the first time, was relisted, and passed. (You worked on it quite a bit during this time.)
Personally, I think it's iffy. The Four Award guideline that makes me the most leery is the GA requirement: "You must significantly help in improving that same article that you started/created and was displayed at the Main Page as a Did You Know..., with you being credited, to Good Article status." I really don't think you satisfied this requirement... but it's really borderline since you did nominate it at GAN...
I think I would probably let it slide, but perhaps more discussion at
WT:FOUR is necessary. I know, I'm a lot of help. :/ Cheers, LittleMountain5

Topic bans
Hi Tony. The topic ban discussions at AN/I have run for long enough and have a strong enough consensus in support that I've closed them as "enacted." Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I've enjoyed reviewing your work at DYK in the past, and look forward to working with you more in the future. Let me know if you have any questions. 28bytes (talk

Ban removal
I personally don't think the bans were necessary and I know you're frustrated. But I can tell you right now that trying to vacate the topic bans right away isn't going to end well. I think you'll have much more success stepping back for a while, working in other areas and requesting the ban removal in about 6 months time. For better or for worse, there's a bit of a mob mentality on WP and sometimes people like to punish folks who aren't the type to kowtow and grovel. Just a friendly note. Give it 6 months to subside and fade away and you'll probably have no problem getting them removed. Night Ranger (talk) 16:38, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
DYK for 1991–92 Michigan Wolverines men's ice hockey team
I am putting together a set of images for use in a university book on sustainable communities.
Could I use the picture you took of Chicago City Hall to illustrate green roofs in one of the chapters?
Let me know if we can use the image and what name we can credit the picture to (if we can use it).
[email protected]66.244.246.8 (talk) 22:54, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
Yes, you can use it for any purpose. Not only in a book about sustainable communities, but even in a pro-Nazi book, a practical suicide tutorial or a amateur terrorist handbook. The image is

Lurie Garden
Hi Tony, I still need to work on a covered bridge article and then have promised Dincher to work on a PA state park article. After that I would be OK with working on Lurie Garden. I was able to visit the park briefly recently and got some images - some have been uploaded and others not yet. I did get quite a few photos of the garden thinking of eventual expansion. I would also like to work on the Nichols Bridgeway and got some pictures of that (but then I like bridges). I have been quite busy in real life and have not had much tme here to do anything beyond peer reviews, some FAC reviews, and the occasional gnomish activity. Good to hear from you, Ruhrfisch><>°°

WSOP Bracelet Winners template discussion
As a person who I believe is interested in the Bracelet Winners templates, I feel you might like to leave your input regarding the recent major edit. Feel free to join the discussion
At Carousel (musical), you inserted (I guess technically changed) a template for Tony award winning revivals so that it covered exactly seven musicals, from 1994 to 2000. I'm a bit worried that this template, even collapsed, won't be as useful to the reader as, perhaps, a longer list of revival award winners. Doesn't it seem a bit fragmented to you?--Wehwalt (talk) 23:44, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.
No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.
We would again like to thank
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews

Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time.
