garden and I'm at a loss as to what to do? No, not about the dandelions. I dig them up and feel good about it, but about these articles that I've spent much time and energy putting together so other folks can point out that they are not good enough. Yet these other folks never, or rarely anyway, seem to do anything other than leave brightly colored but slightly irritating messages on them. If the time was used to improve the articles rather than leaving that for someone else . . .... well the dandelions would probably all cease to exist too. The effect that this is having on me is that I now remove things (my things, pictures mostly) from these articles when this happens.

Hello there, and thanks for taking the time to assess the page I created for the WikiBiography portal. I added the stub notice by default as I do for all my articles, but do you think there might be information in the article itself to warrant start class? If so, I will gladly remove the stub tag to

Sure, take your time. The only problem with requesting adminship is that the process can easily turn into a demoralizing bloodbath. Like I said, if you're interested I'll take a closer look at your contribs and I should be able to give you a pretty good idea of whether or not you'd make it. Cheers,

THanks for helping by filling the listas parameter. However, please be careful with Asian names. As I have been assessing articles, I have noticed many Asians (especially
Koreans, Vietnamese, and Chinese) have been missorted. In these languages, as well as Burman, the family names come first.

Hello. Thank you for your efforts in filling out the project banners for WikiProject
Biographies. Please be careful, however, with East Asian names and with others that may be written in the reverse order from what you are used to. It can be tough to recognize if you're not familiar with Japanese

Good job on adding the |listas= parameter to articles! That explains why lots of people with surnames starting with C were turning up in the letter category I was assessing. I want to note though, you spell parameter "perameter" in your edit summary. And you spelled

I've taken another look and did indeed upgrade it to a start (it might even be pushing B-class, but I don't really know much about the history of medicine). I've been working on alphabetizing the biography articles and assigning them to workgroups; by default, I also give "Stub" ratings to any

Hi there; absolutely any article can have a talk page. Any article at all. The only reason to delete a talk page is if the article to which it is attached has been deleted; this one has not, nor is deletion justifible for this

Thanks for taking another look at the article! I removed the stub tags on the article page, so it shouldn't cause any confusion. Best of luck with the assessment drive!

Nah, I looked, the discussions above sorta give a clue that it has something to do with sorting by surnames, but it's not directly asked or answered. Thanks.
