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)

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)

Don't let them get you down at Talk:Barack Obama. I'm being completely honest when I say that your work there is really improving the article. Take a Wikibreak if you like, but seriously, don't let them get you down ;) · j e r s y k o talk · 19:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
