A hearty thanks to all who have striven to deliver quality products; I find your works a joy to read. I might rediscover the enthusiasm to participate in the distant future but not now... 12:42, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Impatient, I decided to register and do things myself. Kudos to those who get the meaning of this name, hor.

style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | Hi Jappalang. I have now closed the peer review for the Ragnar Nurkse's balanced growth theory article, as I felt that most of the concerns you raised were sorted out. I'll soon nominate it for GA status.
But... please feel free to look at the article once more and let me know if you think anything else should be changed. I would be happy to know your thoughts. Thank you for all the constructive criticism! It helped so much! :) Regards Abhilasha369 (talk) 06:05, 28 September 2011 (UTC) |

Toa Payoh ritual murders
| | style="background-color: #f5f5f5" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | Everything. This is a case that has fascinated me since my youth, and I finally brought myself to bring it up here. Big thanks to Brianboulton for the copyediting and all the reviewers at its peer review for their advice! |
Alisia Dragoon
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #66ff66" | | | Expanded every section, and total creation of the development and reception. Added screenshots. |
Battle of Barnet
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | I have always been fascinated by wars and such, so... Which other battle can you find that involved a "Kingmaker" who was fighting for a king he had dethroned and reinstated, and against a king he had raised to the throne and deposed? This article would not have been FA, if not for the participants of its three reviews (MILHIST, peer, and A-class) and Scartol's red pen! |
Battle of Bosworth Field
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | From Warwick and Ed to Henry and Dick! |
Sacrifice
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | Massive cutdown of "gameguide" and "fancruft" materials. Rewrote to WP:LAYOUT and WP:VG/GL, expanding on real world information. Introduced new media. |
Sword of Aragon
| | style="background-color: #ff6666" | | style="background-color: #66ff66" | | | After identifying the previous version as a copyviolation, I rewrote it with accordance to policies and guidelines. |
Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #66ffff" | | | Massive rewrite: eliminated links to copyviolations, set structure according to policies and guidelines, and write in real-life material. |
Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax
| | style="background-color: #ff6666" | | style="background-color: #66ff66" | | | Massive rewrite: article was practically barren of real-life contents, other than review scores, at the start. You never know what you can find while searching for images of Maria Whittaker... for research purposes, to see if there are any CC-licensed images. She is not my type, anyways... Finding Brown's mention of Muybridge in a published interview was a coup for the search. |
Lat
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | Seriously, this is a cartoonist that break the mold in my book. He became a datuk because of his cartoons! How hardcore can you get? I love his books. Perhaps the reviewers are right, we all want something innocent and fun that we can no longer get back. The article before I touched it was practically unsourced; most of the information were from primary sources (Lat's books) or were probably original conjectures. |
The Kampung Boy
| | style="background-color: #ff6666" | | style="background-color: #66ff66" | | | Lat's best known work; nothing in my opinion captures the idyllic childhood like he did. Funny enough, I knew I have read it but I never had it in my collection... possibly I had done so in one of my schools' library? Article's previous state was mostly personal conjecture or descriptive of the book. A thank you to {{U|Awadewit}} for tightening up the prose. |
Kampung Boy (TV series)
| | style="background-color: #f5f5f5" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | A hoax about this television series was initially at Kampung Boy (the novel). An IP put in a request to create the article; the content was total bull (a story so ridiculous, it was an insult to the integrity of the work) but an administrator accepted and fulfilled the request on the basis of WP:AGF... the hoax persisted for years until someone dared to challenge it (I believe the mark of an admin in creating hoax content validates it in the eyes of others—an admin did it, so it must be okay somehow—hence no one did a thing until that challenger appeared); this incident perfectly illustrates a failing of this project. |
Battle of Towton
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | Fascinated with mediaeval warfare, I was hooked onto the Wars of the Roses by this image of the Battle of Towton, the frontispiece of Philip A. Haigh's The Military Campaigns Of The Wars Of The Roses; the hunt to investigate if the image is in the public domain took years but was very worth it! The attribution of the "largest and bloodiest battle ever fought on English soil" adds mystique to it. |
Tewkesbury Medieval Festival
| | style="background-color: #ffaa66" | | style="background-color: #66ff66" | | | Rewrote the article after identifying some parts as copyviolations: the article is small, as reliable sources are limited. |
Conan the Barbarian (1982 film)
| | style="background-color: #ffff66" | | style="background-color: #6699ff" | | | I actually began a rewrite for this article in 2010 (offline). At that time, it was in a terrible mess, basically a collection of unsourced information and original research. Sad to say, it only proves one thing for me. Articles in a bad shape tend to remain the same state or degrade even faster, attracting the same type of edits. Fortunately, this film is a controversial cult classic and many reliable sources are available (much time was spent to dig them out). Burn-outs and personal issues dragged the writing of this article a bit. I really have to thank Yomangani for the selfless copy-editing of this article; it trimmed the article to a readable size. |
