Stowaway episode of Fringe
Hi Ruby. I'm not sure if you're interested or not, but the jazz music in the background when Walter and Bellivia are in the lab is Take Five (the greatest jazz piece ever) by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. It's no big deal if you can't find any use for that, just thought it might be worth mentioning. Keep up the good work!-RHM22 (talk) 23:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of The Arrival (Fringe)
The article The Arrival (Fringe) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold 
. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:The Arrival (Fringe) for things which need to be addressed. I'd have fixed it myself and passed it but there's a plot hole (about the character Peter, why is he being kept awake?) that I know nothing about, so I'll turn it over to you. Shouldn't take too much to fix it all up. GRAPPLE X 00:16, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
- Passed now. Well done. GRAPPLE X 11:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: Manhunter GA review
Thanks for taking the time to review the article. I've addressed the points you've raised (a few of the missing citations puzzled me, I thought I had added them, oops), and hope the current condition fits the criteria better. GRAPPLE X 22:00, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for your participation in the March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive
On behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, we would like to take the time and thank you for your contributions made as part of the March 2011 Good articles backlog elimination drive. Awards and barnstars will go out shortly for those who have reviewed a certain number of articles.
During the backlog drive, in the month of March 2011,
- 522 GA nominations were undertaken.
- 423 GA nominations passed.
- 72 GA nominations failed.
- 27 GA nominations were on hold.
We started the GA backlog elimination drive with 378 GA nominations remaining, with 291 that were not reviewed at all. By 2:00, April 1, 2011, the backlog was at 171 GA nominations, with 100 that were left unreviewed.
At the start of the drive, the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 101 days (Andrei Kirilenko (politician), at 20 November 2010, reviewed and passed 1 March 2011); at the end of the drive the oldest unreviewed GA nomination was 39 days (Gery Chico, at 24 February 2011, still yet to be reviewed as of this posting).
While we did not achieve the objective of getting the backlog of outstanding GA nominations down to below 50, we reduced the GA backlog by over half. The GA reviews also seemed to be of a higher quality and have consistently led, to say the least, to marginal improvements to those articles (although there were significant improvements to many, even on the some of the nominations that were failed).
If you would like to comment on the drive itself and maybe even make suggestions on how to improve the next one, please make a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GAN backlog elimination drives/March 2011#Feedback. Another GA backlog elimination drive is being planned for later this year, tentatively for September or October 2011. Also, if you have any comments or remarks on how to improve the Good article process in general, Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles can always use some feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles.
Again, on behalf of User:Wizardman and myself, thank you for making the March 2011 GA backlog elimination drive a success.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Olivia versus Fauxlivia.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Olivia versus Fauxlivia.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Lost Season 3 GA
Well, I thought of improving "The Man Behind the Curtain" as there's plenty of info about it on the DVD. I also started something on "I Do", think I can finish it later. igordebraga ≠ 05:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Somewhat related: thought of improving "Exposé" to aim for a FA nomination (and also The Constant, but that's outside your project...). Can you take a look? Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 16:15, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
I nominated Every Man for Himself (Lost) for the GA, take a look and see if the article is in a passable shape. Also, I'll later expand reception on "I Do (Lost)" to put that one up too. igordebraga ≠ 05:05, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

D'oh-in in the Wind ratings info needed.
Hello Ruby2010! I'm in the middle of a GA review of an article I wrote. It's "D'oh-in in the Wind", a Simpsons episode, and the reviewer demands I give ratings info. I did a basic search on Google News and I couldn't find any. Sorry for being such a pain, but if you could find ratings info for the episode, I'd be incredibly thankful. If you don't want to, or if you don't find any; don't worry, I'm pretty sure the article will pass anyways. Thanks in advance! :) Queenieacoustic (talk) 15:22, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
GA nomination on Jenny Fromdabloc
Thanks for the feedback, however I'm having a little trouble finding credible sources for the production section. The info generally comes from IMDB, but that website is supposedly looked down upon among good articles. I've noticed that Yahoo lacks a lot of into in regards to the production, and I generally go to those when expanding Family Guy episode. Do you know any credible sites, or any links to DVD commentary? It'd be much appreciated. :) DAP388 (talk) 02:24, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Lists of consorts
The article List of consorts of Lippe has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- A collection of persons not notable enough to have their own wikipedia articles (at least as yet), with no apparent interest in completing this article by the contributor. See Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Deb (talk) 17:07, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ruby2010, I was tidying up the Members List today and on checking Category:WikiProject Women's History members, found your name. I've taken the liberty of adding it to the list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History/Participants.

If you no longer consider yourself a participant or would rather it not appear on the list, feel free to remove your name. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 07:41, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Ruby2010! I have recently nominated a new article to FAC: Afonso, Prince Imperial of Brazil. Unlike others I nominated before, this one is very short.

Fringe (season 2)
Hello there Ruby, I noticed that you've offered up Fringe (season 2) for Good article review. It looks very good, but those sort of articles generally count as lists, should it not be put over at Featured List candidates rather than GA? That Ole Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 15:41, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hello there, concerning this notice, we've discussed the matter over at Wikipedia talk:Featured lists#Concerning season-type articles and we've come to the conclusion that mainly if the season article has more prose than list then it should be Article and if it has more list than prose, then it should be FL. So you currently have a choice of which to go with. Thanks for your patience. That Ole Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 20:37, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
