You passed the article to Good status. One of the sentences contains eight (eight!) commas:
From the lede as of February 16, 2014:
Afterward, Fischer became a recluse, disappearing from the public eye until 1992, when he won an unofficial rematch against Spassky. The competition was held in Yugoslavia, which was under a United Nations embargo at the time. This led to a conflict with the U.S. government, which also sought income tax on his match winnings, and issued a warrant for his arrest. Thus Fischer became a fugitive, and never returned to his homeland.

(I withdrew from the article as copyeditor after that edit. I notified the responsible copyeditor on their Talk re my displeasure, then deleted said comments out of frustration. [There was nothing wrong with the previous text. Not my job or inclination to come behind an editor messing up text, to restore to earlier status; better things to do with my time.])
So you can fix it! (Or leave it. I don't care. "Good" article status seems to not mean much, I conclude.) Ihardlythinkso (talk) 03:17, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've been trying to fix it - I know there are issues, but I don't like this drama. He said "I find it ludicrous to debate this any further, and, for that reason, I therefore resign my editorship of this page, as well as all of wikipedia. I wish you all the best in finding someone who can make this article meet the impossible standards you have set forth." So, yes, there are prose issues - GA need not be "perfect", but you and I know that I end up failing more than half of all GANs I get. For Editor retention - I'll glad help fix up things with it, but I am not out to drive someone away from Wikipedia who's done substantial work on a subjective matter. FA can be brutal, GA can for those unfamiliar with it, but I don't go about trying to be a pain in the ass and lose a good editor when it seems some other third party thinks its off and is giving the wrong impression. Number of sources or inline citations means nothing if they are broken, invalid or otherwise, but the copyediting needing to be done is precious little in comparison to the page's total construction. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:56, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. There are lots of admins who wouldn't flinch at "driving someone away from Wikipedia who's done substantial work" (I know, I've met a few). Eight commas in one sentence! (That's hardly "impossible standards", or "not perfect".) You seem to be saying GAC passes articles if a submitter throws a fit and threatens to quit. That doesn't say much about standards, does it. I really do not know much about GAC at all, but I know now that I do not want to know more about it! Cheers, Ihardlythinkso (talk) 06:58, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
- @Ihardlythinkso: I fixed issues myself and I fixed that one as well - I rather fix something myself if its 90% of the way there then drive someone away. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 21:15, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
- I hear you. (And, I think it is a lot of work you guys do in article review. And no one pays you. Hard for me to imagine, actually. Curious what motivates you for that kind of work?) I think Sirmouse is overall an enthusiastic contributor and reasearcher, and is open to suggestions, which is good. It'd be sad to lose that energy. [But eight commas!]) Cheers and thanks, Ihardlythinkso (talk) 05:39, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Page is start class or higher
I agree with many of your (semi?)-automated upgrades and believe that we underuse Start and C grades, at least for biographies.
Do you use a count of characters? Barbro Lindgren seems to be such a misjudgment ([diff]).
Talk:Barbro Lindgren, where I downgraded to Stub, had been upgraded using AWB. --P64 (talk) 21:47, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- I think that's a pretty clear mess up on my part, I should have skipped it - AWB used to automatically take off certain tags if they weren't stubs, but I am not sure what happened. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 21:55, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- What do you think of Bjarne Reuter, where there was a bit more info in December and I expanded a moment ago. More to follow soon, I expect; here's your version.[1] That is about the minimum I would willingly call Start and in the past I haven't removed stub tags that I notice short of twice so much information in prose.
- (FWIW these are quite notable writers, finalists for the international Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2004 at least, which is why I expect to add some more this month.)
- --P64 (talk) 22:28, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Stubs are too short to give meaning or an idea of the topic - usually several sentences can make it a start, this case is still the same. Though its been awhile since I last checked the pages, I still think that is start. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 22:35, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

WP:USRD assessments
I noticed that you went through a lot of road articles, tagging them as Start-Class. WP:USRD, which oversees those articles, has its own assessment system that is unrelated to most projects' tagging standards.

Singapore legal GANs
Chris, back on January 5, Hildanknight nominated sixteen articles as GANs, all related to Singapore legal topics of one kind or another. On January 20, you took on all sixteen to review, saying you'd throttle the pace of the reviews as Hildanknight had requested. You've only begun six of them in the sixty days since, which is taking throttling to the extreme.
So far, one has been listed, one has been failed, four are on hold with a review at least having been begun, and ten are not yet started. All fourteen have been under review for over sixty days. This is quite long by GAN standards, unusually so.
At this point, unless you are planning to start the rest of the reviews over the next several days, some or all should be put back in the reviewing pool. In my opinion, anyone nominating that many articles at once—and Hildanknight nominated another eight articles on March 1, all of which seem to be about Singapore architecture—has to be willing to deal with the reviews when and if they are chosen. If not, then they shouldn't be making nominations in such extremely large chunks. I hope we can see some significant movement on these in the very near future. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:24, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- BlueMoonset, you may wish to read my discussion with Chris a few sections above. A week has passed since I requested his followup on Talk:Exclusion of judicial review in Singapore law/GA1 (which may be ready to pass) and Talk:Representative democracy in Singapore/GA1. Understanding that real life may slow down the reviews, I asked Chris if he would be open to having a co-reviewer for the group of Singapore legal nominations. He welcomed the idea, so could we start looking for a co-reviewer? --Hildanknight (talk) 06:43, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, real life is slowing me down some. These articles are not easy to review by any stretch by the way. I welcome other reviewers taking a look - I didn't remember Hildanknight wanting me another look at that one - which I am now passing. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:13, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, I'd be okay, being replaced for those that I haven't started on yet, simply because I think more eyes on these might be better and I can't really keep up with the communities input on them and its probably bad to have the entire set. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:54, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have invited BlueMoonset to be the second reviewer of this seet of sixteen nominations. Thanks for finally passing Exclusion of judicial review in Singapore law! Administrative law of Singapore has major issues and I have no objection to its failure. Perhaps the remaining nominations could be handled in alphabetical order to make tracking easier? Fettering of discretion in Singapore administrative law and Illegality in Singapore administrative law up next (the review of Internal Security Act (Singapore) is, of course, already in progress). --Hildanknight (talk) 14:36, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hildanknight, I am not interested in taking on these articles. My concern was that fourteen remained under review after two months had passed, and for ten the work had not commenced: this is quite excessive. Chris, if you think you aren't going to get to all the rest in a timely fashion, let's put them back in the reviewing pool, or as many as you don't think you'll have time for. Should it be all ten, or would you like to retain one or two?
- There's also another issue here: the "throttling" request. It's generally understood that a nominator should be ready to deal with reviews as they come in: nominating several at once means that you should be willing to handle the rush should it occur—reviewers are generally willing to give extensions if the nominator has several active reviews running in parallel and asks for more time because of it. Hildanknight, you've now nominated two large sets: the sixteen legal ones in January, and the nine about buildings (and one road) at the beginning of this month. This is a lot to bring all at once. It's far better to submit them in ones and twos. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:51, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: Ironically, I nominated them all at once due to the huge backlog. On average, a nomination sits in the queue for three months. If I nominated these articles one by one, the reviews would take four years to complete. Hence I nominated them all at once and requested throttling to avoid extreme situations, such as reviewers placing six nominations on hold in a single day. I agree that the current pace of reviews is too slow. Two reviews per week would be ideal. These are not drive-by nominations from a new editor and I hope you respect my track record (thirteen GAs written from scratch, seven GAs from polishing work by others). --Hildanknight (talk) 18:30, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hildanknight, it looks like Wizardman has recently put the articles that hadn't been started back into the to-be-reviewed pool. My suggestion would be that you remove the "throttling" message: it's likely to discourage reviewers from taking on the reviews. Since you can handle two a week, the odds of them being taken quicker than that are vanishingly small, and if reviews do happen to pile up, people will give you slack if you let them know the circumstances. It's up to you, of course. Best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:01, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: I think Wizardman should not have done so and since he did, he should take responsibility by reviewing at least two nominations. Nevertheless, I have no problem with removing my throttle request.
- @ChrisGualtieri: Do you think you could review Fettering of discretion in Singapore administrative law, Illegality in Singapore administrative law and Representative democracy in Singapore by the end of this month? Talk:Internal Security Act (Singapore)/GA1 needs your followup and for Talk:Threshold issues in Singapore administrative law/GA1, I am awaiting input from professor Smuconlaw.
- --Hildanknight (talk) 06:15, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I'll have them finished up by Saturday the 29th. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 13:32, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Noted and looking forward to your reviews! I am aware that Connecticut is 12 hours behind Singapore. You may be pleased to know that Chensiyuan has started copyediting Administrative law of Singapore. --Hildanknight (talk) 06:19, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiCup 2014 March newsletter
A quick update as we are half way through round two of this year's competition. WikiCup newcomer Godot13 (submissions) (Pool E) leads, having produced a massive set of featured pictures for Silver certificate (United States), an article also brought to featured list status. Former finalist Adam Cuerden (submissions) (Pool G) is in second, which he owes mostly to his work with historical images, including a number of images from Urania's Mirror, an article also brought to good status. 2010 champion (Pool C) is third overall, thanks to contributions relating to naval history, including the newly featured Japanese battleship Nagato. Cliftonian (submissions), who currently leads Pool A and is sixth overall, takes the title for the highest scoring individual article of the competition so far, with the top importance featured article Ian Smith.
With 26 people having already scored over 100 points, it is likely that well over 100 points will be needed to secure a place in round 3. Recent years have required 123 (2013), 65 (2012), 41 (2011) and 100 (2010). Remember that only 64 will progress to round 3 at the end of April. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page; if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally. 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gurdon Bill Store, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Samuel Seabury (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Review
Hello there :) I nominated article Ichigo Kurosaki a long time ago for GA status. I m given information that you are involved in anime/manga articles? So can I ask you to do a review? I also nominated Orihime Inoue for GA. If you have time and if you are willing to help it would be great. If don't then its also great :D Cya around and have a great time (Nightwolf87 (talk) 16:50, 13 April 2014 (UTC))
- @Nightwolf87:, I've been avoiding the area of my expertise because of editor conflicts, but you could fix the File:Ichigo_Hollow_form.jpg description, it says it comes from episode 271...

Why did you ultimately add all the excessive and redundant discussion of SAC's related media to the main GITS page after every single discussion I had with you on this subject late last year was a resounding "that is a terrible idea because it has no place on this particular page"?—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:35, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- You should not be editing anime and manga articles at all. It was clear that after you announced your disdain for the subject. I've been highly active in other parts of Wikipedia and its made a world of difference. Stay away from me - I don't want to waste any more time dealing with you. I thought I made that clear before.

OER inquiry
Hi ChrisGualtieri, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:37, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Countering systemic bias in architecture coverage
Dear Chris, thanks again for reviewing the seven law articles. I understand that you do not have the sources to write about architecture about other countries. Would you be willing and able to polish such articles written by others? If so, you may be interested in this collaboration. --Hildanknight (talk) 09:20, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well, getting them from other countries is more about finding the material and I am on a tight time-table before all the USA ones go into the national archives. This is much easier than say the United Kingdom or Singapore. As you probably notice, I am picking relatively low-hanging fruit in the form of museums, historical events, minor monuments and such. Where almost everything ever written or covering the work can be easily found, collated and fact-checked with my already on-hand sources. I just got 700 new documents for another state and some 20,000 "properties" for another, but this is far beyond what a single Wikipedian can do. Though I could review the material, the work is generally of high quality and requires only a few fixes before passing. If these are nationally significant I tend to have much higher standards for broadness though. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:50, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- Perhaps the tendency of editors to go for "low-hanging fruit" causes imbalances in coverage. If you are interested, you could choose between reviewing the articles yourself, directly copyediting them or helping fix issues raised by reviewers. Most of the articles are short and would not take too much of your time, but they do need attention from a native speaker of English (and a foreigner could identify confusing local terms). In general, the articles by Aldwinteo are in better shape than the older (before the GA process started) works of Sengkang. I am trying to find the sources that Aldwinteo and Sengkang used, so that I can address content concerns. --Hildanknight (talk) 17:04, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't mean it in a bad way, but things like clothing i.e. socks and very broad topics are amongst the most difficult to source and complete and same with very complex structures that have a great body of sources to comb through. I have a good relationship with the libraries in my area and groups all over the nation, but actually producing content is something that should be balanced with your own abilities. I am new to architecture articles - I rather do something easier to understand and requiring only 10-12 sources of decent size instead of the complete record logs of national monuments and icons. Besides, editor conflicts pop up with them far more often and I want to avoid conflicts over really simple and basic details. I've found that people who do not have good knowledge of a topic or access to the sources are a bane to content production when they take an ideological or personal stake in the project. This can be seen in many places sadly. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- I understand your rationale for picking the "low-hanging fruit" and in fact, do so myself. All the best in your quest to produce copious GAs about American architecture! If you are interested in the collaboration, would you prefer to review the articles yourself, directly copyedit them or help fix issues raised by reviewers? --Hildanknight (talk) 03:16, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Wikipedia, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.
- Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
- You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
- We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
- Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
- Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.

DYK for Haley Farm State Park
On 28 April 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Haley Farm State Park, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1970 the State of Connecticut acquired 198 acres (108 ha) of Haley Farm from A. C. White for a total of $300,000 and declared it a state park? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Haley Farm State Park. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Article Questions
Hi Chris,
I saw that you had edited the article Imaginal Psychology and have something I'm wondering if you could help with on that page.
I'm in the communications department at Meridian University. We offer psychology, business and education degrees and are based in the San Francisco bay area. Someone (most likely a disgruntled former student) appears to be trying to defame us on this page. I've tried to change this but it has been reverted.
You'll notice that the "See Also" section of the article states that we are an "unaccredited, for-profit corporation." This is not the case. We are accredited by the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education among other organizations. The "for-profit corporation" descriptor is applicable to most institutions. Would university not be more accurate?
Additionally, the article states our former name which does not seem relevant.
Any advice or assistance you could provide on this matter would be appreciated.
Best,
Khalil Omer

- See Also sections should not be used in this manner and I much rather not get into the middle of a spat with some editors, but your argument is good and the clear negative nature is apparent. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not Facebook or some blog. With that being said, the page is a copyright violation. I will opt for its deletion - which will both the attacks off and prevent it from being a platform. I'd prefer an article on Meridian University and to include this as a note, but I see only bad things arising from the subject of Imaginal Psychology without more objective and widespread coverage. Since it won't stand on its own, and its got no place to merge to - deletion is the only option at this point. Which does resolve the issue as well. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:25, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Haley Farm
Nice work on Haley Farm - that's an area I used to hang around a lot. The pedestrian bridge to Bluff Point, as I just noted, is built atop the Groton and Stonington Street Railway abutments. The line used to go through the corner of Haley Farm; it's now the G&S Trolley Trail on that side of the tracks. I'm not sure if that's worth mentioning in the article other than the brief link. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 07:33, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- If I get a source for it, sure, though without a source it could be labeled as Original Research. Glad to know someone cares about such obscure articles! ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:27, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Here's a source; you can add it as you wish, or I will when I get back to writing the trolley line article. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 16:37, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, perfect find. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:49, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
