I wanted to thank you again for your help on the ], which has finally been promoted to FA. Your interventions really helped making this a reality! So, thank you, and I wish you happy holidays. Let me know if you are ever in need of a review. ] (]) 08:36, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
To start, thanks for a brilliant article on ]. We've been busying translating it for the Finnish wikipedia for about a month now. We're in the final stages (i.e. Replication) and I starting pondering the following sentence:

Thank you for submitting Phagocyte for FA. I apologize for not doing this sooner.

:Hi Eulemur, it had be nominated this week because I have taken leave from the lab to look after you and the article. Don't be too quick to respond to any advice at the FAC; it might not be good advice and (though I am sure you will not) don't take any negative comments personally. Be polite to the reviewers for without their comments we will not succeed. Most important of all - don't worry, all the hardest work has been done.

] '''Arbitration'''
I respect not trying to list all of the problems with prose, but it's generally unhelpful to get vague notions of poor prose without at least a couple of examples. If I have no idea what you are looking at then I cannot possibly fix it. Most of the prose hasn't been touched in awhile, so I'm sure it could use some assistance. Nevertheless, some people say there are prose issues when there is actually just confusion over events (i.e. someone close to the project doesn't realize that a particular point was not explained well for those who know nothing about it), while other times there are real issues with grammer, sentence structure, or just basic flow of text. Without some form of example I cannot fix the problem, and "find a third-party editor" doesn't always fix the issue either (especially if it takes half a year to get a copy editor to the article). So, I respectfully request that you come back to the FAC and provide me with some form of assistance so that I can better understand your qualms with the prose. ] ] 19:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

**I don't want "all", I don't even want "a lot". I was merely requesting a couple of examples (maybe from broad sides of the spectrum), so that I have an idea of what the overall problem is.

----
Regarding your comment in opposition to date autoformatting, I'd like to point out that date autoformatting and date autolinking are two different things. It's possible to autoformat dates without having them be linked, and vice versa. The syntax for doing so is more complicated than it otherwise needs to be, and some developers would like to simplify things so it's easier to have autoformatting without autolinking (or both, or neither.) --] (]) 00:40, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Bladder cancer

Hi Graham Beards. I've just finished a first pass at overhauling bladder cancer, and am hoping to bring it to FAC soon. Any chance you could spare some time to look it over? Any feedback is appreciated. Ajpolino (talk) 22:05, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes of course. Graham Beards (talk) 07:51, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your help

I wanted to thank you again for your help on the Virgo interferometer, which has finally been promoted to FA. Your interventions really helped making this a reality!
