Barack Obama

Hey HailFire. I've had Obama's article on my watchlist for a long time now (though my work on the article has been limited to reverting vandalism and fighting POV on talk), and I've noticed the large amount of work you have put into the article over the last several days. Your work is definitely improving the article, and I merely wanted to commend you for it. Thanks! · j e r s y k o talk · 13:56, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Jersyko! I've created a sandbox and talk page for collecting references and developing drafts. I'm still learning the ropes and any suggestions offered by more experienced editors will be most appreciated. --HailFire 09:47, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I also noted the fine job done, as someone moved the article off of the Misplaced Pages:Featured articles with citation problems list. In terms of citations currently required for Featured articles, I've tagged a few more sections or statements that still need inline citations. If you're able to work on that, so that the article will fully comply with current FA requirements, it would be helpful. I've also left a message on the article talk page, in case others there have the needed sources. Thanks, Sandy 18:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Hailfire, glad to chalk that one off the list, and glad someone is tending the article; far too many FAs fall into decay. Regards, Sandy 13:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Africa

Do not have the time to put towards it at the moment. Sorry. Wizzy…☎ 07:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I do understand. I'll likely make a cleanup attempt soon, as I think some condensing is necessary to improve the article's flow and balance. Just wanted to ask you first before I take the plunge. Keep watching, OK? --HailFire 08:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the edits! --HailFire 15:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Read what I wrote in the Barack Obama discussion board and get back with me, and we'll see what we can do. Shakam 05:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC) (sorry I don't know how to send messages)

RFC Obama

Hey Hailfire. I have seen your RFC heading on the obama talk page but I dont think you have ever linked the article to the actual rfc page. Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment Since there is still alot of controversy over the whole african american or mixed race thing, maybe you could start over-put in a new rfc section in the article (changing the title of the old one) and post under either the politics or biography section on the RFC page. I really do think we need some fresh opinions from outsiders. I have been tempted to do this myself but didnt want to steal your thunder. So let me know what you think.
