GA review

Hi Seabuckthorn. Just wanted to say thanks up-front for taking on 3 of my GANs. I was just wondering when someone might take the first one ... and you've grabbed the lot! Excellent! Best, JG66 (talk) 16:33, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks, JG66, very much for writing such excellent articles. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 16:48, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I also want to give my thanks. I'd give you a reviewer's barnstar, but it seems you've already got one. Thanks again! Erick (talk) 01:44, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Erick for your diligence in writing such fabulous articles. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 01:51, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

		The Reviewer Barnstar
		For your quick review of my GANs. Cheers! — Simon (talk) 10:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Simon, very much for the accolade! Thank you for your hard work, care and diligence in writing such great articles. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 10:42, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

GANs

Hey Seabuckthorn. I hope you saw my reply on Talk:Don't Let Me Wait Too Long/GA1 – thanks again for your help with the article. As I mention in that message, I got to thinking about an alternative solution re the lead vs article-body issue, and what I've recently done is to remove some of the text from, say, Release – which I realise now makes much more sense than filling up the lead. Just wanted to explain that here, and be up-front about it all. It's not as if I've made major changes to the article, but I am conscious that the changes have occurred within a day of you passing it for GA. Please feel free to comment if you've got any new concerns, of course. Personally, I'm really happy with it, and I'm glad you brought up the issue, because it led me to make the discussion more focused.

Hi! Thanks for your gentle reminder. I actually "unwatched" this page on closure. Apologies . I've left my comments on the review page. I hope I'm right with my suggestions. Please feel free to ignore them if you think I'm wrong. Thanks! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 05:36, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

I'll be addressing the other two GARs shortly. I just had to finish work on another song article first – to make sure my head was sufficiently clear to receive incoming information from you, rather than focusing on outputting details in the new article. (All done, so I can flick the switch now!) Thanks, Seabuckthorn – see you on the GAR page(s) … JG66 (talk) 04:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

No worries! Take your time.

Thank you, JG66, very much for your diligence and care to improve the article and for being so polite, friendly, humble and proactive. Thanks! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 05:36, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

You're a saint, Seabuckthorn – unofficially, of course(!). JG66 (talk) 06:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

You're far too kind! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 08:17, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Seabuckthorn, thought you'd like to know that I've addressed your comments at Talk:Sesame Workshop/GA1. Thanks so much! Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:47, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hi Seabuckthorn, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! AdmrBoltz 19:19, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks, AdmrBoltz, very much for your kind gesture. Thanks a lot for motivating me! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 05:29, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Bath Assembly Rooms

Thanks for your review at Talk:Bath Assembly Rooms/GA1 I've revised the lead, combined some short paras & expanded the PD-art licence. Do you think these are what is needed?— Rod ^talk 10:32, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Rod, very much for your hard work, care and diligence in writing such great articles. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 11:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

And thanks for your review which has definitely helped to improve the article.— Rod ^talk 12:15, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Ramones

Hey I really really appreciate you reviewing these past few Ramones albums, its really speeding up the process getting their studio albums to good topic. I responded to the comments on Talk:Road to Ruin (Ramones album)/GA1.

By the way, if you're interested, you could put a few comments/opinions on the Ramones featured article candidacy. Only if you feel like it though! If you ever want anything reviewed or something, I'll do it for free ;)

Again, thanks!!! CrowzRSA 19:27, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks a lot, CrowzRSA, for your outstanding contributions and your extraordinary diligence. Reading your articles is a pleasure as a reader and an inspiration as a writer. So really, the credit is all yours. I'm merely utilising every opportunity I get to learn from you. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, sure, I'll do it. But I'm afraid it'll take some time - a few days. Oh! Thank you! I'll surely need your help when I start contributing as an author. I'd be glad if you'd be my mentor during the writing process. I'd like to consult you whenever I've any doubt as an author. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 02:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

GA reviews

Thanks for your GA review of Language planning and policy in Singapore. I understand that the article is currently far from meeting the GA criteria, but would appreciate a more thorough review, so I know what specifically needs to be done to improve it. Looking forward to your review of Kelvin Tan, which, unlike the language articles, was actually written by me. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 15:36, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for correcting me! I agree I should have been more thorough. Apologies. I'll put in more effort in my next review. Thanks! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 01:17, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

GARs

Thanks for reviewing those three GA noms for me. I'm going to be very busy at work over the next three or four weeks, but I'll have some time in the evenings to respond to comments. If you want to take them one-at-a-time, that might be easier. Your call, though. If you want to do them all at once, I'll try my best to keep up. Thanks again, --Coemgenus (talk) 14:03, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Coemgenus, very much for your diligence, care and precision in writing such great articles. Okay! No worries and no rush! Take your time. It's Saturday 10:30pm for me now. So if you don't mind, I'll post one review by Sunday morning (around 5am I guess). I'll post the remaining two on Monday morning. But really, I'm willing to wait after that as per your convenience. So no worries at all! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 17:06, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

My thanks as well for the reviews on Marcel Pronovost and Martin Gélinas. Much appreciated! Resolute 00:55, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, Resolute, very much for your conscientiousness! --Seabuckthorn ♥ 08:52, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Bomis help

Dear Seabuckthorn,

1. You previously reviewed and promoted the article Bomis to GA quality.
2. A user has greatly reduced the size of the Aftermath sect, even though I had already reduced that info in size per your helpful suggestions at the GA Review itself.
3. I explained at Talk:Bomis#Aftermath_sect_should_remain_in_article_as_per_GA_promoted_quality_version that this info should remain in the article.
4. Perhaps as GA Reviewer you could also comment there, because I'd like for the article to remain close to the stable version it has been since its promotion to WP:GA quality?

Thank you for your time,

— Cirt (talk) 11:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't have the time right now. Apologies. I hope you don't mind. --Seabuckthorn ♥ 12:43, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay, please let me know when/if you do have a chance. We both came to a good compromise during the GA Review and the article has since been a stable WP:GA quality page -- I hope to help keep it that way! :) — Cirt (talk) 14:43, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Reviews

Thanks for taking the articles, I look forward to the reviews.--WillC 00:21, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

GA reviews

Thanks for quickly and diligently getting the GA reviews for Abbey Road, Mellotron and Rhodes Piano done, and for some good advice on how to improve prose. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 07:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Oh, thanks! Most appreciated! You're doing great work! The prose quality in particular has been fantastic in all your articles. I’m inspired a lot by your conscientiousness. Thanks a lot for writing such excellent articles. All the best, --Seabuckthorn ♥ 22:56, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I am really sorry for bothering you, but I was wondering if you could take my GAN BlackBerry Bold 9700. It's alright if you don't have the time or simply don't want to, I understand. :) Prism △ 19:22, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
