Re:Instant Karma's gonna get you

Hello Khazar2. Can I request the GA put on hold for a few days? Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 19:15, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

No problem at all. I'll check in in a week or so and see where we're at. -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:57, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Yea I'm still interested, I've just been busy (irl and on-wiki), and have forgotten about it on several occasions. I'll work on the critical responses section sometime tomorrow. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 22:34, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Great, thanks! -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:10, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review Khazar2, even if it didn't pass. Thanks again. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 11:09, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

You're very welcome--cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 11:24, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

North Devon's Biosphere Reserve GAN

Hi Khazar2, I've renominated North Devon's Biosphere Reserve. It'd be great if you could look over the article again if you've got time, I've tried to address the paraphrasing issues. Cheers, Jack (talk) 16:46, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Glad to hear it! I'm going to let a new reviewer pick this up, though, just so it has the benefit of a second pair of eyes. Good luck, and thanks again for all your work on it. -- Khazar2 (talk) 18:42, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good, good luck on your one a day. I'm really impressed!! Jack (talk) 20:20, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm about 30 ahead at this point, so if I break my typing hand or something, I'm still good for a while. We'll see if I can keep it up, though. =) -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:23, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

re World Press Freedom Day

Why don't you post a notice about this at WT:WikiProject Freedom of speech, and we can all discuss it centrally, there? — Cirt (talk) 19:26, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I suggested the same to Crtew. It's mainly his idea, so I'll let him take point. Glad to hear you might be interested too! -- Khazar2 (talk) 19:28, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Mapping the Global Economy

Hi Khazar2, I am looking for volunteers to re-create the link below for all 196 countries. http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Mcnabber091/Economy_of_the_United_States The goal of this project is to map out the global economy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcnabber091 (talk • contribs) 03:17, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to have to pass; not really my specialty. -- Khazar2 (talk) 03:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Wow, thanks! That one really snuck up on me. =) -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:27, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

• Wow, and that doesn't even count your old account. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:29, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

• Yeah, if not for AWB typo fixes, though, I imagine I'd be around 30-40,000. So take with a heavy grain of salt! Not that that's going to stop me from putting it on my user page, mind you... -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:31, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

• Oh yeah, I'm aware of that. Never did download AWB... poor connection. Sometimes it takes several minutes to open a single page properly. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:33, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

• That's a bummer, it's handy stuff. But it does need to be able to run quickly between pages to be worth it. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:37, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

• Yep. Speed helps with AFD too... and I've avoided that since getting stuck with a poor connection. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:45, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Congrats! Makes me 100,000 times happy that I got you back here, twice ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Prison raid

"This is not human rights violation, I want to be firm on this"... remember this? I think it's getting to the point where an article would be worthy. At the very least a government minister needs to learn about the right to a fair trial. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:31, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Definitely seems like it's hit notability. I may try to start this one in the next 1-3 days, I'll ping you if I do--and you ping me if you beat me to it! -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:08, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

• I don't think I'll be starting it (philology exam... yikes) but I'll try to allocate some time to help expand it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:51, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

GA review for Wings (Little Mix song)

Hi there! I have responded to your review on Talk:Wings (Little Mix song)/GA1, sorry for the delay! - Littlemixlove (talk) 17:13, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, responded there! -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:22, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Mandela at GA

If you feel that the time is right, then you have my blessing to go for it. I will however continue to add Meredith references, and I hope to flesh out a few other sections, such as "Collapse of the coalition", over the coming days. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:52, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

That sounds fine--I don't see any reason why that would interfere with the GA process, even if this one gets picked up right away. I'll go ahead and nominate now. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:26, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Leona Woods GA review

Hi, I have arrived at your door again complete with begging bowl in hand! I am trying to do another GA review and Leona Woods caught my eye as she seemed an interesting character. If you get the chance, would you mind double checking my novice attempts at reviewing it? I have raised a query as a couple of the refs give conflicting info about her degree. Any help or comment would be very much appreciated! SagaciousPhil - Chat 17:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Always glad to double-check. Will comment there. Thanks for continuing to review! -- Khazar2 (talk) 17:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you - as always your expert help is much appreciated! SagaciousPhil - Chat 18:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Cebongan Prison raid

Hello! Your submission of Cebongan Prison raid at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified.

Yeah, this was my first GA. Thanks for the barnstar and thanks again for taking the time to review the article. Cheers, Edwarddutton (talk) 21:13, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello. You have a new message at ColonelHenry's talk page.

Thanks

Thank you for the review of the Tim Breslin article at GA. Also thanks for archiving all of those citations, I know that can be a pain in the neck. Cheers --Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 14:04, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

My pleasure! And no problem on the archiving; I just used Webcitation's comb tool, which does a whole page at once. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:18, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you

Many thanks for, as ever, a thorough, helpful and courteous review of Romanticism in Scotland. Its good be feel the article is worthwhile and that it has been genuinely improved by the process. Very much appreciated.--SabreBD (talk) 23:11, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

My pleasure! Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 23:15, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! But if I've been tireless, you've been... super-tireless? Thanks for all the expansion. I'm excited to put this one through GA. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:08, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

GAN for Wizard (horse)

Hello, you are going to end up being sick of me constantly pestering you but here I am back again! I have been GA reviewing Wizard (horse). It seems more or less fine to me but would you mind giving it a quick glance over, please? Thanks! SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:19, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Nope, feel free to ask whenever you want! As it happens, I was already watching this one, as I reviewed Edward's last nomination (which passed easily) just two days ago--this'll be only his second. I'll take a look now. -- Khazar2 (talk) 17:58, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you once again! I do enjoy reviewing articles and as I sometimes have a problem finding DYK nominations that take my attention, I may spend a bit more time over at GA - the main drawback is I will encroach on your time a bit more until I feel really confident about my reviews. I have some 'proper' work (yuk - subbing specialist reports with horrendous typing, mis-spelt, poorly written and half of the required information missing; where are the Nurofen?), which I hope to batter through today. I still have my eye on the GA nomination for Anthony Chenevix-Trench which really appeals and has been sitting for about five weeks but I did the DYK review for it in February so know I should not give way to temptation. SagaciousPhil - Chat 07:53, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

No problem. These days my #1 project on Misplaced Pages is reducing the GAN backlog, so I'd much rather spend 10-20 minutes looking over your shoulder at a review than 1-3 hours reviewing it myself. I really appreciate what you're doing.

As for Chenevix-Trench, if it's calling out to you, it's not against any rule that I know of to do both the DYK and GA review, even if it's not ideal. I'd be glad to double-check you in this case, though, so I don't see how anyone could be concerned about shenanigans. So I say go for it! Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:30, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Ace! Thanks, I'll nip across and claim it before printing it off and working through it - I really do appreciate your help. SagaciousPhil - Chat 14:37, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Great! I've got my stepson here for the weekend, so won't be on much, but should be back around Monday or Tuesday. Cheers, -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:39, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Hope you're having a good weekend! I've done a run through on the GA for Anthony Chenevix-Trench and raised a couple of questions - once you get a chance at the start of the week it would be brilliant if you could have a look. No hurry as the nomination has sat for quite a while already, so just whenever you get a chance. Your help is always appreciated. SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:08, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Took a look this morning; unfortunately, the WP:SPS issues raised by another user seem insurmountable. I'm embarrassed to say, though, that this is something I wouldn't have caught if she/he hadn't pointed it out first. I need to get better about checking the reliability/non-vanity-nature of presses. Anyway, I'll keep it on my watchlist if it gets contentious, but my take is that this will need a substantial rewrite. -- Khazar2 (talk) 19:12, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Cebongan Prison raid

On 20 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cebongan Prison raid, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Cebongan Prison raid in Indonesia was declared a human rights violation by the National Commission on Human Rights, but not by Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cebongan Prison raid. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Good stuff! I might break my usual shunning of DYK and put something up myself... will see if I have time. -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:26, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

• Hopefully if I have time I can get something on Medan Prijaji (Medan Priyayi) as well. Adam (1995) already has plenty, and there are some other sources around too. Hmm... Shame Playboy Indonesia exists. How about Erwin Arnada (redirect right now)? Imprisoned for his role in publishing Playboy, also received a nomination for Citra Award for Best Director for his film Rumah di Seribu Ombak. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:43, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Editor of the Week

You recently submitted a nomination for User:Tomobe03. This is to inform you that the award has been distributed and to thank you on behalf of Editor of the Week. The possibility of friendly stalking prevented previous contact. Feel free to continue searching for candidates. The future of the project depends on nominations. ```Buster Seven Talk 15:52, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind thought re eotw nomination. I was really surprised to see the message just few minutes ago - it really means a lot to me.--Tomobe03 (talk) 17:20, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

You're very welcome. I'm a big admirer of your articles! -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

M. Rahman

I know you haven't started working on the revision yet and Parkwells made a good start, but he's put in a major factual error by mixing up defamation and sedition charges. M.R. was charged with sedition twice in 2010 and 2012. He has been charged with defamation every year from 2009 to 2012. Crtew (talk) 20:23, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I've got my stepson here this weekend, so won't be making all of my usual editing rounds, but I should be able to check back in on this one on Monday or Tuesday. Since incorrect listings of charges are a major BLP issue, don't be shy about reverting this yourself if it hasn't already been fixed. -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:27, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Flat "huh"

Just... wow. I'm all for religious tolerance, but somehow this is just over the top. (Also, theologically, wouldn't they have been able to repent for their "sin" of being seen in public through fasting and extra prayers? Allah is described as "the most merciful", after all... except when it comes to shirk) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:07, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, really terrible case. I was actually just discussing this one with Mrs. Khazar last week, as it happens, because it's in an episode of The West Wing that we watched. Do we have an article on it? I'm on my way out the door now but may search later. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

• Apparently we do: 2002 Mecca girls' school fire. What a mess. I just read about it on Cracked.com — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:24, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

• Good, that's an incident that definitely needs one. (Had an energy crash and didn't make it out the door after all--but as usual, the outside world's loss will be Misplaced Pages's gain!) -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Anonymous (group)

I am interested in the page as well as some others that I've seen you active on and noticed that you want to bring it up GA status. Is there anything in particular that you think needs to get taken care of? I'm definitely interested in helping out. Dreambeaver(talk) 02:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey Dreambeaver, I'd love to collaborate on that. I started work on it back in February, but got sidetracked by a few other articles. Tell you what, I'll do a readthrough tomorrow or Wednesday and then post my thoughts to the talk page there. You can take a look too and between us perhaps we can work up a "to do" list and go from there. Looking forward to it! -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:14, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Anthony Chenevix-Trench

Hi Khazar2, thanks for your input over at the Anthony Chenevix-Trench GA review. The red mist descended yesterday morning when I saw the comments on it, so I had to leave it alone for the day (I went across and annoyed everyone at DYK instead!). It feels as if I've had a baptism of fire with this one but it has also been a very steep (painful?) learning curve. I've put the review on hold for seven days, in the rather forlorn hope there might be more response on the RS board. It seems such a shame that such a well-written, comprehensive article will not receive any recognition but that's life. Your help as always has been very much appreciated. I pulled another nomination for review Talk:Seneb/GA1 before this all blew up, so I'll see what a mess I can make of that one later today! SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:34, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm really sorry that one turned out to be contentious. As you say, for a book that was widely reviewed and available, it never would have occurred to me either that it was from a vanity press. Your solution of waiting seven days to make sure there's no further RS/N comment is a good one. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Seneb

Hi, I've stopped sulking - well, mostly - so have continued to review Seneb. Would you mind doing a double check for me once you get the time? I am, as ever, grateful for your patience and tolerance! SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your constructive comments - I've left a note on Prioryman's talk page. SagaciousPhil - Chat 18:08, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Fidel Castro

Hello there Khazar, hope you had a good weekend with the step-son! I was wondering if you had much interest in helping out over at the Fidel Castro page ? I've been writing and building the article up for a few years now, in much the same way as I have been doing with the Nelson Mandela page (and the Muammar Gaddafi page, but I'm not focusing in on that one at the moment!), and having discovered your interest in Cuban political history through the Oswaldo Payá page, I thought I'd message you to see if it would interest you. At the moment, I'm mostly engaged in editing down the length of text, particularly from the section dealing with the Bay of Pigs Invasion downwards. Hopefully it will be in a state appropriate for GA review in the near future. Best, Midnightblueowl (talk) 22:26, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, we had a great time; he's at an age where his perfect weekend is nonstop video games, board games, and movies, which is a pretty darn good weekend for me and Mrs. Khazar too. That's terrific that you're building up the Castro page, I'd love to see it hit GA. I've let my to-do list get a little too long to pitch in for now, unfortunately. But ping me in a month or so and remind me, if you're still working on it then; I'd be very interested to help, even if it's just with trimming, copyediting, MOS, etc. -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:33, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Press freedom

Perhaps you have some extra sources about Erwin Arnada? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Ha, not on hand. But I'll be interested to look over the article later. I'm actually working on a press freedom fellow right now, as it happens, attorney Dan Paul from Miami Herald Publishing Co. v. Tornillo. I'll put it up for DYK later today. -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:06, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

• That sounds really good. Looks like an interesting case... although admittedly not one I would have thought of. I took it for granted that newspapers wouldn't give equal space to all candidates... — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:15, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
