Elli Hatschek
Observing the nom for Elli Hatschek, the author asked for a hold until September 3 or 4 and seems not likely to respond before. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:23, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Never mind, only now did I see that you knew that, didn't use the template but your own nice personal words, - so: thank you for doing so, to me and others! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:31, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Recent DYK on West Bengal...
Could you please have a look at it again? I improved the Speaker article all I could, and believe that duplicates like "Leader of Opposition Suryakanta Mishra" and "to the Deputy Speaker" can be allowed. Avenue X at Cicero (talk) 18:23, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Crop pic Haugtussa?
You did such a good job on cropping the memorial of deaths at the Berlin Wall that I invite you to look at the nom for the song cycle: the upper left corner of that pic would be enough to show something, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:38, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

DYK nomination
- Since you are a very experienced editor, especially for DYK, can you help me? I am trying to submit a new DYK nomination for September 4 and not sure if I have done it right for the new procedure. Can you look at September 4 and see if I have done it right or if I need to correct something? Thanks.--Doug Coldwell talk 14:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- Done See diff. Next time, don't forget to follow the instructions to the letter. I'd probably add the review later, as its simpler, but if you do add it in the template you only need to add the subpage's name. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:17, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

DYK discussion
Hi Crisco 1492,
I trust that you are well, and thanks again for the barnstar some months ago. :)
After looking at the DYK talk page, I would like to say that I'm concerned that you twice wrote that an editor was trolling again. IMHO, the editor is passionate about writing good articles, and this passion is why he writes so much and contributes so generously. Please try to remember that passion if you ever are tempted to write that he is engaging in the intentional provocation of a troll in a future conflict.
Please contact me if you ever think that I might help diffuse a conflict. I certainly have benefited from peace-makers. :)
Respectfully, Kiefer.Wolfowitz 22:36, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- The original comment by Malleus was slightly inflammatory, but he is known for his... expressive language. However, addressing comments by writing "You may waffle as much as you like, but it's very clear that you're in denial." followed rather quickly by "Surely there must come a time when even you realise that you're talking bollocks", as well as a repeated refusal to acknowledge when someone has replied to his question(s), borders on prolonging an argument without any reason, which is trolllish behaviour. I noted this a little after said comment when TK said it was a serious question.
- There are some editors who I disagree with, but I do not call them trolls willy-nilly as they generally can present their arguments within policy and the guidelines. Malleus has used inflammatory language since 2009, saying stuff like "Does nobody check them for such basic errors first?", "The problem here though isn't whether you're either black or a smarta$$, it's that the sequence of boring hooks is well, fucking boring", Thus speaks the real "hostile bully". How ironic."Apologists for DYK can't even see obvious plagiarism when it's in their face" Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:29, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying. I appreciate your words and the care you took in writing.
- There are parts of my own personality that I wish I could change, among them getting irritated too easily. I've regretted things I've written, with less cause than MF has had when he has expressed irritation so memorably.
- I growled at gentle Drmies once at DYK, but he forgave me quickly! A bit more Drmies-qualities would help everybody at DYK and elsewhere.
- Have a good night! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 00:49, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Nice work with The Problem We All Live With! Kiefer.Wolfowitz 02:28, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for the kind words, but that was Roscelese's article all the way. I just reviewed it. Regarding the frustration, I understand how stressful life here can be as we have dozens if not hundreds of cultures interacting, many not in their native languages; editor's personalities also vary widely. The wonderful thing is that this works, and we have over 3000 FAs, several thousand GAs, and uncounted B class articles. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:10, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm asking you to overturn your nonadmin closure of this afd.
As stated on WP:Deletion review, the first step to contesting a closed debate is to first ask the closing admin. You are not an admin, but you closed it, so I am asking you to do what you need to undo what you have done. ThanksCurb Chain (talk) 10:37, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
- I think you mistook his additions onto another article: Looking at the edit history, he made no edits since my nomination. I do know, though, that he did make edits to another article that I had nominated on the same day. I have no contention with the result of that deletion-discussion. What it does seem, though, is that you are counting the votes, instead of looking at the arguments for a decision. I`ll have a closer look at the refs already in the article, and I`ll leave this post for now.Curb Chain (talk) 22:53, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Re: re: Chinese Indonesians
Hi, this is likely moot since the FAC has closed. I was only looking at the images at that time (with a bit on the riots since a non-free image was rationalised about that topic), so I have no firm ideas on the rest of the content. On first glance, it appears impressive though. In case similar situation pop up in the future, I think it is not common practice to pick up an FAC if the nominator has left the article (so as to speak) without asking him or her for a go-ahead first. If the editor is absent from the project, then I think an interested editor can ask at the FAC if the community is willing to let him or her pick up the process and continue.
