Did You Know question

Hi. I've reviewed your DYK submission for the article Barthélemy de Lesseps, and made a comment on it at the submissions page. Please feel free to reply or comment there. Cheers, Art LaPella (talk) 05:18, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Art, just in case you hadn't noticed, I updated the DYK page and your talk page. I corrected the error. I've since added some more to the article. Peter4Truth (talk) 03:50, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Arapaima's answer on La Pérouse

( please don't forget the acute accent "é" , accents add so much spice to our french language that at 63 , and after about 10 years studies in my youth , I don't myself have yet completely mastered their use...) . Sorry I didn't answer you sooner , but in France we recover from our summer sleep only at the end of September . Besides , actually my wife & me are utterly spent after a month trying to run in our little grandsons' wake ...

What I would infer from the phrase you quote : that La Pérouse taught ( to de Lesseps , I think ) , all he knew about sailing : steering , calculating and esteeming his position , predicting the weather , managing a ship from cooks-galley to top-mast knob , and above all leading a crew of 200 or 300 men ( many of them on board against their will ) in the promiscuity of a tight and incomfortable space ... And also predict the impredictable behavior of natives suddenly seeing dainty white "long pigs" land , and scurry around on their island , humping their women and cutting their trees to get the fruit easily without climbing ...

Thank you again for supplying me the backbone of " Voyage du Commodore Anson " , which ( through so many ulterior additions , modifications & alterations it profited of ) has grown & embellished so much that I don't recognize it any more ...

By the way , sorry , but I unfortunately don't know how to manage iconography : I had to be helped to insert my map of Philippines Islands and coast of China , so I can't be of any help to you in that domain . Truly yours , hope you fare well & go on contributing along --Arapaima (talk) 09:07, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Hornsby Water Clock at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Law _{type! snype?} 08:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my article! I'm not sure where best to reply but I've suggested a new hook on the submission page and I'll also make a note on your talk page. It's a shame to give up on the hook about chicken bones being tossed into the fountain but I'm sure the segment from the Australian Broadcasting Commission was illegally uploaded to YouTube. I did not know that was a rule so thank you for telling me. Peter4Truth (talk) 10:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Russia's War: Blood Upon The Snow

Hello, Peter4Truth

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Devonian Wombat, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Russia's War: Blood Upon The Snow, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

1. Edit the page
2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Devonian Wombat}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I have cited some more sources and removed the deletion tag, but must point out that we do not usually go into quite so much detail about individual episodes of TV programmes in this encyclopedia. I know that this is presented as a documentary rather than fiction, but I believe that MOS:TVPLOT contains some good advice. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:42, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
