Thanks for uploading File:Ronald Skirth (1897-1977) seated.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

You have been doing very well in bring the Ronald Skirth article up to speed, surprising me with the quick results.
One of my concerns was the 1939 year introduced early in the "Character and beliefs" section. I think the section, about WWI and Skirth's personal development, should not introduce a later year until the end of the section. The section should develop in a chronological order.

I switched a few stray references from preceding punctuation to following it, to preserve article style. If I were you I would fix the problems you think worth fixing, and resubmit the article to WP:GAN. Binksternet ( talk) 23:11, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi there Dwab3, I noticed your impressive work on Ronald Skirth and noticed you nominated it at WP:FAR. Unfortunately you nominated it at the wrong place, Featured article review is for articles that are already Featured articles and is a process that has another look at featured articles to see whether they still meet the featured article criteria. The process for nominating featured articles is at featured article candidates. I have moved the current nomination and transcluded it on FAC for you, you can find it at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Ronald Skirth/archive1. I will hopefully be able to take a look at it soon but it looks good on first glance: I think the lead could do with expanding at first glance, it should be a couple of paragraphs that do a quick representation of the article. I will take a deeper look for you soon. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate in asking me. Regards, Woody ( talk) 18:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
This is just a friendly request to use a descriptive edit summary whenever possible. Cheers — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 10:59, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Dwab--
I'm a real newcomer to participating in Wikipedia, and a relative newcomer to the show Spooks/MI5. I have a question I hope you can answer. I've been making edits to some articles on former Spooks characters, like Zafar Younis and Danny Hunter, trying to move them away from "in-universe" style and add references. But once this is done, who decides when or if the tags (?) at the top of an article--I mean those banners that name its problems--get removed? Likewise with categorizing an article as a stub, which seems pretty inconsistent (the articles on Zafar Younis and Danny Hunter are called stubs, but not the one on Helen Flynn, which is shorter).
There doesn't seem to be much activity around articles on these older characters (not surprising, I guess). I noticed that you made improvements in the article on Tom Quinn this past fall, which is why I'm getting in touch with this question. I'm trying a couple other folks who have done work on Spooks character articles in the past year. I hope somebody can satisfy my curiosity!

I have reviewed The Sugar Girls for DYK, see the review template - Template:Did you know nominations/The Sugar Girls. Although not your article, you made a comment on the nomination and I thought you might be interested to see what I found when I reviewed it. There is a fine distinction between sticking to the facts and close paraphrasing the source article. It is quite difficult to do the first while avoiding the second.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Men of letters, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Macmillan. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
