Aymar Embury II
Great article on Aymar Embury. I'm researching the architectural firm of Davis, McGrath & Kiessling, who built homes in Englewood, NJ (and elsewhere) of a similar style and during the same period as Embury. Have you found anything about them? --Krehor 04:47, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

June Meetup in New York
Hi, I noticed you are characterized as a New Yorker so perhaps you might be in the NYC area in June. If you are interested we are having a meetup for Wikipedians in June in NYC. Take a peek at this and please tell any other Wikipedians that you think might be interested in participating about this event. Thanks. Alex756 02:25, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Prospect Park (Brooklyn) infobox
I'm getting the data for the infoboxes from the National Register Information System, which is available at the National Register of Historic Places web site. I downloaded the database to my PC and created a SQL query that checks the data and creates an infobox.
The year of construction comes from a table that lists the significant year of construction. I checked the data a little further and found that there are two significant years listed. One of them is 1865, which is probably the year that construction started. The other significant year is 1917, which, as you mentioned, was the year that the La Fayette monument was built. It looks like my query was returning only the last year that it found. I'll change it so it only gets the first significant year listed for a property.
Thanks for pointing this out. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 14:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Reverting vandalism and a new message
I just reverted some vandalism to this page by I AM THE FIRSTLORD GEKKO. He seemed a bit upset that you speedied his article. (Sucks to be him, I guess.)
By the way, I did a query of the National Register of Historic Places database for buildings and developments architected by Frederick Law Olmsted. The results are at User:Elkman/Olmsted, so if you're ever interested in doing more articles about his projects, there's a place to look. --Elkman - (Elkspeak) 03:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Re: proposed deletion of High Moon Studios
Hi, I'm 209.213.90.250.
I do have an account, but occasionally I forget to log into it.
It wasn't clear to me who was the primary author on the article, since no one had inserted any comments on talk for it. I guess that I could assure you that I don't have an axe to grind, but presumably that would carry little weight. I was just updating Sierra's page based on their recent aquisition of Wanako, and then followed the links for the other studios and noted that this particular article's tone was all wrong.
Obviously, I need to 1. Remember to sign-in in the future, 2. More agressively review the diffs on the article to determine who initiated the edits that resulted in the items that I took issue with. The article does need revision at the least, but ATM I don't have time to do it :(

Rhodes the Molly
You're very persuasive and I now agree with your plan--with the proviso that the Rhodes article be kept permanently. The main reason is we need an anchor that's heavily fact-oriented and has been vetted by professional editors of the American Historical Review, because of the intense POV that seems to surround this topic.Rjensen 22:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

My recent edits to Radio (on 10:26, 26 March 2007), I seem to have faltered on my edit summary about what i actually did, as i did not add those links, just attempted to clean up what was there, i was shocked and appalled by the commercial station's link being at the top of the list, thanks though for making me think a tad more on what i write in my summary.Book M 14:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

- No problem, looking at the article the links probably could do with a bit of pruning, but ideally based on usefulness rather than just the 404 ones. A lot of people don't know about archive.org, so thought it best to mention it to be on the safe side. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 12:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

GA review of veganism
I noticed that, a little strange! I've taken the precaution of notifying several of the main contributors from the article history and talk page that the review has been done. Tim Vickers 23:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
- Oh dear, I've just noticed that an editor with whom I have a particularly negative relationship is an occasional editor of this page and has removed some of the things I added. Would it be possible for you to take over the review? Most of the points have been dealt with, leaving just a few more general points remaining. I'd see some of these as more suggestions for the future than things that must be completed for GA status. Your help would be much appreciated and would help avoid any conflict. Tim Vickers 23:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks that is very much appreciated. If you could introduce yourself on the Veganism talk page so people know what is going on that would be great. I've decided to take on Raëlian Church, wish me luck! Tim Vickers 01:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Something I was unclear about after having read the article is if "Vegans" were people who did not use animal products on ethical grounds, or if they were simply people who do not use animal products. If ethical reasons are essential to define somebody as a vegan, then the almost complete lack of information on religious "veganism" is justified. However, if Vegan is an act, rather than a motivation, then the article needs to cover all people who chose to do this, whatever their reasoning. Tim Vickers 20:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you. I owe you one. All the best Tim Vickers 17:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Veganism review
I just wanted to bring to your attention two New York Times cited articles which I feel are good reference to facts about a vegan diet that are not included in the health section of the article. You'll see my comments at the bottom of the talk page. VanTucky (talk) 20:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your in-depth response. After gauging the response a bit and writing a sandbox version of my little addition, it turned out well even if some general grumbling went on. One issue brought up by two of the citations that I didn't make mention of for fear of backlash was the idea that published sources have made mention of ethical concerns with forcing children to adhere to what is essentially an extreme diet when they do not have the resources or ability to make their own informed decisions. But that can wait maybe. Generally, I'm quite impressed with your review. Cheers. VanTucky (talk) 01:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm back home now, and on Summer holiday, so I have a lot of available time. It may take me a little while to get back into the swing of things, but I will take a look at the article and your concerns as soon as possible. This is just a note to let you know I am aware of you having raised the issue- I will address your concerns about the article another time, probably tomorrow. Thanks for contacting me about it. J Milburn 22:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Don't know if you saw the talk page message, but please put the article through the relevant delisting procedure. The article needs serious work to be fixed, and it is work I currently have no desire to do. I will eventually completely rewrite the entire article- not certain when, but I am sure I will, (unless someone else does first!) and get it up to something that really is of good article standard. Thanks for your time reviewing the article. J Milburn 23:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Reid Stowe
I'm having a very difficult time with the mention of the "collision" between Stowe's vessel and a Maersk container ship. Being as it has thus far been unsubstantiated and opens the door to litigation, perhaps it'd be best to delete reference to it from the article. A collision such as this would have ramnifications as to "failure to keep proper lookout". (COLREGS- Rule 5) http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/boating/colregs.html --Aloha27 12:14, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
- The links you provided on my talk page to Stowe's blog about the phone communications following the incident have disappeared?
--Aloha27 13:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC
- Apologies, Aloha27, I committed some typos in the URL's. They're fixed now; sorry to have inconvenienced you. Take care. Gosgood 13:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Re - Weather conditions - You state in the Reid Stowe Talk Page - "Weather conditions: Comes from a Stowe quote in the ESPN reference. Is Wikipedia on solid grounds in writing as if those conditions were actually extant? Probably not. It's Stowe's quoted observation to ESPN, and not an independent observation, that conveys weather conditions to this article." Yet, the article still contains the entry. The entry should be removed as it is unverifiable by an uninterested source.
RE - Mission Planning and Execution - The last line reads - "Of these unrealized scientific research plans, entailing personnel trained in data capture, Harrison noted in his 2001 Spacefaring: The Human Dimension, "...when it was all said and done, just as in the case of a real Mars mission, it proved difficult to fund."[18]" The quote from Harrison was written over 5 years before the voyage commenced. Therefore, Harrison could not have been referring to this voyage as the quote implies. Also, the press release that contains the goals of the voyage was an official document of the voyage the day they departed Hoboken and it is still on their website without alteration as of today. The article should not allow any external reasons for not attaining their goals. I have removed the Harrison quote.
RE - "A second, more serious mishap occurred on May 6th 2007 when the schooner ran into a container ship that left the schooner's bowsprit heavily damaged, though the hull and the remainder of the ship was unscathed." Changed "had an encounter with" to "ran into" The Coast Guard incident report that appears on the 1000 days at sea site makes it clear that the Anne hit the freighter. An important distinction, though not sure it warrants a footnote.
RE - Second paragraph of article replaced "captain of expedition" with "head of expedition". Use of title "captain" implies that Reid Stowe has a USCG Captain's License. There is no evidence that he does.
RE - Subsequent Attempts - Removed "Pier 63 Maritime, operator of the railroad barge to which the Anne was moored, was removed in 2007 to make way for the demolition of Pier 63, a part of the development of the Hudson River Park. This required Stowe to move the schooner Anne to Hoboken, giving rise to further delays.[21][28]" Neither article establishes a causal relationship between the removal of the barge and the delays.
RE - - Added "I've given him nearly $7,000 worth of food,". From same NYDaily News article and Relevant to Reid's following statement regarding contributors.
RE - First paragraph of article added - "funded by thousands of donated dollars". From NYDaily News article. Entire voyage is funded by donors/sponsors - critical to the overall story.
RE - Mission Planning and Execution - Replaced "the onboard infrastructure reported from time to time on" with "due to lack of equipment" and "periodic entries in". The text deleted was confusing and difficult to decipher.
RE - Mission Planning and Execution - Moved "A representative for NASA says she doesn't know anyone at the agency who is following Stowe's mission", reported Eliza Strickland in Wired Online." to introduction with other NASA discussion. Important quote, but not related to planning and execution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Regatta dog (talk • contribs) 07:35, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
RE - Added "Stowe and Ahmad's trip has been criticized by many other sailors who consider it ill-conceived, dangerous and irresponsible.[5]" from NY Daily News. In the reference for theis article, the title of the article is incorrect. The article is titled "One-half of amateur sailing duo gets seasick and jumps ship from voyage" I don't know how to change that. Can someone let me know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Regatta dog (talk • contribs) 08:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Gosgood - Reid Stowe is due to arrive home next month and his article has been so busy lately it has been locked. Unfortunately, it was locked after some very important information was deleted including well sourced information regarding his drug smuggling conviction and back child support. Also, 3 external links have been blacklisted - at least some of which you had earlier given an OK to. I sent a message to the admin who locked the article and he/she asked me to find an editor who is more familiar with the content. My discussion with the admin can be found here -- under "Vandalism at article for Reid Stowe.
The Reid Stowe discussion page shows the back and forth between the various editors.
Can you intervene in this? I respect your neutrality from past interactions and think with your help the article can again represent a balanced view of Reid Stowe and his voyage.
Thanks in advance for your help here. Regatta dog (talk) 17:52, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Veganism
I'm just closing the GAR for Veganism, where the main concerns were NPOV issues. I agree with these concerns, but notice that you did not raise any during the GAN review. Since I have great respect for your judgement, I wonder if you could check the archived discussion and give me your opinion in the light of my comments there. Possibly my POV antenna is too sensitive, but I believe the concerns are genuine. Thanks, Geometry guy 19:04, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Reid Stowe
Thanks Gosgood for making the correction(s) needed for the link to the Bumfuzzle sailing site. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what the problem was! Thanks again! -Steve. Aloha27 23:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about the Audio God ID, but when I tried the first time to post using the tildes... somehow it appeared. I've been doing the ID manually since.
I still believe that the quotes, as well as the references to Crowhurst and the Bumfuzzles are of particular significance here. If even ONE "mariner" or gloryseeker decides against setting out after reading this one-sided entry from Stowe and/or his supporters, on an ill-prepared, undercrewed sojourn on the open ocean, sailing frequently without anyone on watch, I think it'd be well served. As I explained on another talk page, Patti and I have logged over 13,000 miles aboard our well-found vessel. It has been surveyed every five years and certified/documented as seaworthy for our own peace-of-mind as well as to satisfy the insurer.
With Stowe's rotting sails,foul hull and questionable seamanship capabilities, not only do I fear for their lives but the Search-And-Rescue crews that will eventually have to venture out in God-knows-what weather in a rescue attempt. The voyage so far has been blessed, perhaps unbelievably so with an extended window of good weather. The few times they've suffered adverse weather, something broke. It won't improve on its own. Trust me on this one. Fair Winds!

Vote for a post-meetup restaurant
I'm charged with making the reservations for us, so let's make it official. We'll do this via voting and everyone including anonymous voters, sockpuppets, and canvassed supporters is enfranchised. Voting irregularities and election fraud are encouraged as that would be really amusing in this instance. Please vote for whichever restaurant you would like to eat at given the information provided above and your own personal prejudices at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Let's make it official. The prevailing restaurant will be called first for the reservation. If a reservation cannot be obtained at the winning restaurant, the runner-up restaurant will be called thus making this entire process pointless.

Thanks again for your outstanding review. There's only one thing, I want to tell you. You wrote about original research. While I have deleted some of the second example and will add a quote about the rest, the first example about the limited possibilities of the politicians is completely taken from the reference, because I could not find useful references supporting my personal knowledge, that the politicians, without any actual power have enormous possibilities to change things by using their influence. If they can't make a law, they can use a telephone. So, because the alternative would have been adulations, which would have been even worse, I quoted from a conference of politicians of the region (as it looks, those, who are to stupid to use a telephone or to clever, to speak about it). I'm sorry, you had so much work with an article, which, because of it's bad English, never had a chance, to be a good article, but I really desperately wanted some feedback. Happy editing. --Thw1309 (talk) 00:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
By the way: I will remove the comment about Hassler from your review, because there, Hassler did not tell us her own thoughts (which could indeed be described with Hassler mentioned), but made a report on a conference of the university of trier with politicians from all over the region. So it was not her personal opinion but a summary of the statements.--Thw1309 (talk) 10:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem! Glad to be of help if I can. (Expertise? Hardly... but still learning.)
I think the reason Sanders' entry seems to be lacking in volume is that he's not actively soliciting donations. Hard to believe that someone who was at sea, solo for 657 days, (a record I seriously doubt will be broken) is little more than a good paragraph here.

Thanks
Thanks for you review on Dravidian parties article and the extensive comments. I am right now held up with RL. I shall start working on the material asap and may be nominate it again for GA. I understand from Noble story's earlier comments that we can go for peer review. What else can be done to get some expert advice. Is there anywhere that people can help with copyedits? Right now thinking about turning this article into a FA would be too ambitious, yet I would like to work on that end sometime soon. It would be really nice if you can guide me along that route. Cheers Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 17:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- See your talk page Gosgood (talk) 15:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your advice. If it is alright can you alert you when we have made some good amount change to the article. Unfortunately I think I have not made this entry well known with the Tamil Nadu working groups. Thats completely my fault. Another user has expressed his interest in improving this article. Both you and Noble story have been very helpful for this article. I owe you guys a lot for this. Thanks a lot and let me know if it is alright if I alert you later regarding your comments on the state of the article. Cheers Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 20:32, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles newsletter
Congratulations Wikimedia NYC Board Member!
And now, for the hard part ;) Our process, as it goes forward from here, is laid out at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Chapter formation. I've written a draft Wikimedia New York City Bylaws at meta, and I would invite you to please comment on it, and make suggestions (see also a couple of possible future Resolutions). This is a critical stage of our approval process, when we must achieve a consensus among ourselves over bylaws, and work with the Chapters Committee to have them accepted. Thanks for your help!--Pharos (talk) 02:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Can you help?
I see you were listed as a participant in the League of Copy-Editors so it seems likely. The thing is the Military history wikiproject urgently needs prose pros to help with our best articles. Milhist covers a broad range of interesting and varied subjects from film to biography, battles to weaponry, and Roman emperors to twentieth-century dictators. In Milhist, A-Class has become the last port of call before FAC and we are looking for people to help identify prose and MoS issues at A-Class A-Class Reviews and help fix them prior to featured article candidacy. We also have a copy-editing section in our Logistics Dept and that can always use experienced copy-editors. For most of our articles, you don't need to be a specialist in the subject matter, just good with words.
If you think you can help, please do! Thanks for your time, --ROGER DAVIES talk 04:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- First, thank you very much for responding to the call. I'm sorry it's taken a bit of time to get back to you but I've got the builders in at home (and they're causing chaos) and I've got very behind.
- Second, we need help on a couple of levels. we are so short of good copy-editors, partly because of the large number of Milhist articles at PR and FAC, that we're trying to concentrate on A-Class reviews and featured article candidates. I've taken the liberty of transcluding our new tracker template, listing the applicable articles. To add this to your user pages independently of this message, simply cut and paste
{{WPMILHIST Copy-editing alerts}}to the required location.
- A-Class - copy-tasting / reviewing
- We are currently trying to improve the depth and quality of the Milhist A-Class review. What will help here considerably is copy-tasting. That is, reviewing an article and commenting on the style and prose. Clarity, longwindedness (the bane of Milhist), grammar, mixing and matching WP:ENGVAR varieties, MoS stuff (especially dashes), date formatting etc. (Any subsequent copy-editing would be a very welcome and helpful bonus!) Input on any current A-Class candidate would be helpful.
- Copy-editing pre-FA and FA candidates
- Editors normally take articles go from ACR to FAC, usually via a request for a copy-edit. These requests are usually made here or by leaving messages on copy-editors talk pages. You can respond to requests there or list yourself as a copy-editor so that others may contact you. Either would be very much appreciated. Additionally, a frequent reason for opposition is prose and some hands-on copy-editing of FA candidates would be enormously helpful. (If you do subsequently support the article, please do remember to disclose the copy-edit: ie Support (as copy-editor) though you may prefer simply to Comment that a copy-edit has been done.)
- I do hope you can help and that this grows into a longer-term commitment. We are working very hard to set the bar for quality with Milhist articles and quality copy-editing is an essential part of this. With apologies again for the tardy reply, --ROGER DAVIES talk 05:37, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Articles Needing Copy Edit
Hello former LOCE member :)
This is an invitation for you to join a brand-new WikiProject that aims to improve the articles tagged for copy edit. This is pretty important to Wikipedia because there are now over 4,000 such articles, some of which need quite a bit of help. This is not a clone of the LOCE because we will not deal with requests for copy edits, but will happily make improvements to articles at our own pace. If you're interested, sign up at the project page!

I've recently had a chat with a couple of the contributors, and we think it may be worth revisiting the GA reform proposal put together by the working party during the Summer.

November 2008
This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to User:Gosgood/GA Nomination Review, you will be blocked from editing. Please do not vandalise. This is the only warning you will get. I am also recomending that your user account be blocked Kirachinmoku (talk) 20:24, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
This is a completely bogus warning. You're allowed to do what you want with pages in your own user space. If you're done with a subpage and you don't need it any more, you can put {{db-user}} on it. That might be a better way of dealing with unwanted subpages than blanking them, which upsets the people who blindly edit with Twinkle. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 21:34, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Brooklyn Conservatory of Music Redirect
Sorry about that! Believe it or not, I was trying to enhance the article, but could not find any information on the original. This was a conundrum that perplexed me for a while. I slowly accelerated my efforts in searching the internet and whatever sources I could find to resolve this, and after some time passed, I made the false assumption that they were one in the same and made the change. I'm glad to see that the article is accurate and that you have enhanced it so nicely. Bhludzin (talk) 23:53, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:26, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:16, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
