Peer review

Glad my comments on Wikipedia:Peer review/Social model of disability/archive1 were helpful. In general anyone can make an assessment up to B level, but for WP:GA the article has to pass WP:GAN, and even for WP:FA, which has to pass WP:FAC. I do not generally assess articles, but the best this could be without going through GAN or FAC is B class. If you can't find anyone to do it, asking at the relavent WikiProject Talk Page usually works. Hope that helps, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:09, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance

I thought its time to say thanks to all the editors who have assisted me in the articles I have been working on; so I took a look at toolserver.org and it shows that you have done 5,602 edits. I think you not only deserve, but are entitled to the below award in accordance with the award criteria. I know that one is supposed to award this medal to yourself, but we never do, so I am doing it on behalf of you! Thanks for all your help. Farawayman (talk) 14:21, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Saartje

First, some background. My grandaughters name is Sarah. Being of Flemish heritage we nicknamed her saarje and pronounced it saar-cheh. When I came across this article this evening, I logically assumed that a mistake had been made...somewhere. I was even aware that the Africaans pronunciation may be different. So I investigated and I found (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=20540269). I have no problem with your correction. I would suggest, however, that you assume good faith toward other editors before choosing a less than friendly edit summary. Buster7 (talk) 07:46, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Gloss the poem on the language ref desk?

Sgt. MacKenzie Lament

Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Lay me down in the cold cold ground
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Where before many more have gone
When they come a wull staun ma groon
When they come I will stand my ground
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
Stand my ground, I'll not be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Thoughts of home take away my fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Sweat and blood hide my veil of tears
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Once a year say a prayer for me
Close yir een an remember me
Close your eyes and remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
Nevermore shall I see the sun
For a fell tae a Germans gun
For I fell to a German's gun
Do you think it would improve the discussion if a gloss was added?--Shirt58 (talk) 10:41, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
