Toilet water[edit]

Look, I'm sorry Doug, but I'm sick at the moment and also on a more-or-less wikibreak. This looks like a complicated issue that I haven't the energy to try and sort out right now. Maybe in a few days when hopefully I'm feeling a bit better, otherwise you might want to ask someone else for assistance. Cheers, Gatoclass (talk) 12:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I was just writing an approval note on ALT4 when they took it off the suggestions page and placed it in the prep area. So the hook is now your ALT1 2nd version. I thought you might want to know, in case you still really want to change it. -- Zoeperkoe (talk) 00:24, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Placed a note here to see if it can still be changed. -- Zoeperkoe (talk) 01:14, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your message on my talk page. Sorry I've not replied, I've not been sick (except a bit of Wikipedia to be honest) so took a bit of a Wikibreak. Not sure if you still want me to look over this for you, and if so, in what manner? Si Trew (talk) 20:23, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Pelican DYK[edit]

I reviewed it at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Pelican_Pete and left you some suggestions for further improvement. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:53, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Replied on User_talk:Piotrus.--Doug Coldwell ^talk 20:13, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

1) See Wikipedia:Units#Units_of_measurement, conversion section, see {{Convert}}

2) Yes, 1957 establishments in the United States would be quite fine

3) See WP:ASSESS. Assessment templates are like talk-page categories, and enable articles to be included in various project-related reports and activities. Best way to start using them - think of related articles, see what assess templates they are using from. An article like yours would usually have a template related to monuments, and a template related to location.

4) Wikipedia:How to add geocodes to articles

5) {{Infobox monument}}, which I found by going to Wikipedia:Infoboxes and following the links to the list of infoboxes...

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any further questions! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:21, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

I added the measurement ([1]). Regarding the assessment templates, I tend to assess my own articles for anything below B-class (where peer review can be obtained). If you really don't want to review your own work, you don't have to, but adding assess templates for others to fill in will at least alert active projects that they have an article to review. An article without assessment templates is about as "faulty" as one without the categories, but the fault is not visible to the readers - just the editors. See WP:POLAND or WP:SOCIOLOGY to see example tools using assessment templates (perhaps most crucial is the Article Alert log). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 21:42, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Hamburger Feuerkasse[edit]

Although most readers will know that Hamburg is in Germany I suggest to mention in the lead already, that it is in S-H Germany, and a date (century). I collect hooks for Portal:Germany, did you know? Feel free to add it there, after it appeared. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:07, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Alaungpaya[edit]

I saw the DYK nomination of Alaungpaya and ran the DYK check tool, expansion and time are fine, the edit of 26 March was still the size when expansion was performed 12 April. The size is not the char size, but "readable prose size", without tables, refs etc. I recommend you install the tool yourself, it is helpful, although the results should still be treated with care, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:45, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I approved the article and he is ready to go for DYK.--Doug Coldwell ^talk 20:00, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Biographies of Living Persons[edit]

Hi, thanks for reviewing my hook. In order to encourage editors to add references to biographies of living persons (known as BLPs), for which references are often hard to come by, the DYK project recently started offering the opportunity to nominate pages that have been expanded only 2x with references. This does not apply to BLPs that already have a few references, and for which someone added a few more (in that case, he would have to do a 5x expansion). There is a special WikiProject which I check into now and then, at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/UBLPs by other WikiProjects, which lists the thousands of unreferenced BLPs currently on Wikipedia.
