| FYI, Dudley, there is no "standard" formating for ISBNs and their hyphens. WorldCat (US), Amazon (International), and the British Library present ISBN info without hyphens. (Here is the BL data for ''Hemingway'' by Nicholas McDowell (1987): .) And WP will read the ISBNs in templates with or without hyphens and with or without spaces. So, please look at the Black Death revert and you'll see that some of your reverted edits do not have hyphens.

| :I should have said usual rather than standard. ISBNs are usually shown with hyphens or spaces in books and in Misplaced Pages. They are easier to read and copy correctly than a string of numbers without a break, which is why long numbers are better shown with commas - 314,658,235 not 314658235. The automatically converts to one with dashes. There is no reason to convert ISBNs with dashes to a continuous string as you did in the Black Death article. ] (]) 22:32, 10 December 2018 (UTC) | |||

TFL notification
Hi, Dudley. I'm just posting to let you know that List of Local Nature Reserves in Northamptonshire – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for October 15. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 22:33, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!
Just dropping in to thank you for the review and support on the Bulgaria FAC. - ☣Tourbillon 13:32, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Bratislava Working Group FAC mentorship
Hello, I was wondering if you might be willing to help me with this article, which would be my first FAC. Since achieving GA status a few months ago, I put it up for PR and one editor said that he would support it at FAC if I had it copyedited. A very competent editor at GOCE had a look and made many prose improvements. My question is, should I go ahead and FA nominate it? My understanding is that many topics that are a bit out of the way fail due to insufficient interest/supports. Thanks for your help. Catrìona (talk) 10:38, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- I will try to look at this in the next few days. Dudley Miles (talk) 10:58, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
- Catrìona. The article seems to me not far off FA standard. The main problem is that you assume too much knowledge in the reader.
- "The Working Group, unhappy with collaborationist elements in the Jewish Council (ÚŽ)" You need to explain what the Jewish Council was.
- It is odd that you do not mention Bratislava in the lead except as part of the title. It should be mentioned and linked. It should also be linked on its first mention in the main text.
- The red link to Nazi–Jewish negotiations seems far too general. My knowledge is very limited but I believe there were controversies about negotiations in other Nazi occupied areas.
- The first paragraph of the background section is difficult to follow and its relevance to the article is unclear.
- I suggest you go through the article trying to put yourself in the position of someone who knows nothing about the subject and see what needs further explanation.
- It is true that articles sometimes fail due to lack of sufficient reviews but my impression is that even the most obscure ones do usually get enough comments, particularly if the nominator contributes by reviewing other articles. If an article is in danger of failing for that reason you can solicit reviews. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:15, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Denisovan
You seem to know the topic and I would trust your judgement if you want to fix that value. Meanwhile the Nat Geographic would look better than the one I had originally put as a ref. Best regards. SlightSmile 18:24, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks but I seem to have confused you by my error leaving in the wrong date of 90,000 years, which is for the new hybrid discovery, not the original finger bone. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:47, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
Re: Poors Allotment
Hello Dudley Miles I have added projects England, Environment, to your article. You may wish to join them, check their to-do, and meet new people with interest in these topics.

ISBNs
FYI, Dudley, there is no "standard" formating for ISBNs and their hyphens. WorldCat (US), Amazon (International), and the British Library present ISBN info without hyphens. (Here is the BL data for Hemingway by Nicholas McDowell (1987): UIN: BLL01011404170.) And WP will read the ISBNs in templates with or without hyphens and with or without spaces. So, please look at the Black Death revert and you'll see that some of your reverted edits do not have hyphens. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 21:44, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

They are easier to read and copy correctly than a string of numbers without a break, which is why long numbers are better shown with commas - 314,658,235 not 314658235. The ISBN converter automatically converts to one with dashes. There is no reason to convert ISBNs with dashes to a continuous string as you did in the Black Death article.
