Hi there!
I'm the person who requested the edit to the Kiss page on 2 October 2013. Thank you for doing the needful. Whenever you have the time, please do visit the Talk page of Man, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Man and read the request that I had made on 12 February 2013 and what transpired after that. You will then realize the reason for my request on the Kiss page and the fact that I fully expected to see what I asked to be edited.
I believe that editors on Wikipedia should be aware of what some people are up to. You'll get a full description there and in the message that I left Jimmy Wales. Do be on the lookout for similar Indian claims.
My best wishes to you!

Greetings, Stfg! Your thorough and well-informed comments at the GAN page trouble me greatly, and make me doubtful (not for the first time) of the wisdom of having a one-person judge and jury for GANs. Clearly both the proposer and you know a very great deal more about the subject than I do. Your comment "And that last one makes my jaw drop. There are pieces with no predominants at all!" had me hailing the coastguard, so far was I out of my depth. I take your point about some editorialising, but it didn't trouble me unduly at this level – different at FAC, I grant you. The GAN criteria are surprisingly liberal if you look at them closely. For all that, I really wonder if I am competent to continue the review, given that you point to matters of factual accuracy on which I simply cannot make an informed judgment. I should be very grateful indeed for your thoughts, as one long-standing Wikipedian to another, rather perplexed, one. Best wishes, Tim riley ( talk) 19:13, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
Thanks for getting back. I am sorry about the extra edits, I did not mean to upset you or anyone else. I did not know why the page was not getting updated with my information about Sachin Tendulkar's test match statistics. Hence the extra edits that you deleted.
Could I know I why I am not the point of reference under the statistics on the wiki page? I was the first to send in the request for change and it was plain simple maths to calculate his total test match runs and batting average after his last innings.
I appreciate your time Thanks and have a good day

This is a note to let the main editors of Jesus know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on December 25, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite ( talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 25, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. ( Full article...)

December Notes from the
Guild of Copy Editors
The December blitz ran from December 8–14. The theme for this blitz was articles tied in some way to religion. Seven editors knocked out 20 articles over the course of the week. Our next blitz will be in February, with a theme to be determined. Feel free to make theme suggestions at the Guild talk page! The January 2014 Backlog elimination drive is a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on January 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on January 31 at 23:59 (UTC). Our goals are to copy edit all articles tagged in October and November 2012 and complete all requests placed before the end of 2013. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in October and November 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! Coordinator election: Voting is open for candidates to serve as GOCE coordinators from 1 January through 30 June 2014. Voting will run until the end of December.

Hi Stfg, it's post-RFA me here! Whilst I'm still unsure (as others were) whether my edits to Luzula wahlenbergii were close paraphrasing, but for the sake of safety, I've tried to change my editing method with regards to biological descriptions. I'd be very grateful if you could have a look at my description of Silaum which I've just written - do you think this is better and/or avoids close paraphrasing. I'd appreciate your feedback.

I am in need of your second opinion or third maybe. I know you are very busy, but if you have a moment to spare I would ask a favor of you.
I am undertaking a major copyedit of the article located here. /info/en/?search=Lloyd_Bryan_Molander_Adams
I am kind of stuck on the formatting of one of the sections in the article. It is the one called Television shows and series. If you get a moment, could you please take a look at that one section, and perhaps suggest to me what sort of wikicode or formatting code will get rid of the awful blue box business. I mean that thing is worse than the BSOD on one of your computers!
I also left a note for Miniapolis on her page to take a look if she can. I really appreciated the support both of you showed toward me when I first joined the Guild of Copy Editors. I am pretty sure you both got a terrible first impression of me, but I can assure you both that my work and deeds here at wikipedia are up the the strict standards of GOCE. Believe it or not, I am in real life a writer and published author, as well as a copyeditor, proofreader, book editor, etc for like about 17 or so years.
Anyway, I will be thanking you in advance if you have an opportunity to take a look at that one section. Thanks! I hope you will have the most perfect day today!

Thanks for your insight to the translation at BWV 172. looking at it again, I'm sure you're right: uf sein Verlangen = 'at his request', not 'their request' as I surmised.

Hi there, Stfg.
Regarding this revert: It seems you're correct, but I think we need to restructure these categories.
A symphony from any particular period should not be assumed to be for full symphony orchestra. There are plenty of string symphonies written in the 20th century too. The split between symphony orchestra/string orchestra/chamber orchestra and the split between 18th century/19th century/20th century symphonies should be separate branches from Category:Symphonies.
