The article Action of 27 June 1950 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.

I'm sorry I didn't have time to get a support in before the article was archived at FAC. OTOH, prose wasn't much of an issue ... what we needed was more people showing up to review, and I'm not sure why that didn't happen, unless it was the fact that the A-class review was so long ago. In order to get some reviewers on board for your next round at FAC, one approach would be to run it through A-class again ... you could say that the technical reason is to review the A-class status. (I've recommended peer review a couple of times when A-class articles failed at FAC, but that hasn't worked well, we don't enough reviewers at peer review.) - Dank (push to talk) 06:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I changed my mind ... I don't think it would hurt in this case, but in general, we probably shouldn't encourage people to bring their own articles back through A-class a second time. So, either peer review or straight back to FAC (any time after the mandatory 2-week wait.) - Dank (push to talk) 02:35, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Air Battle of South Korea you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold .

Hi Ed, I was browsing the above article after reading the one about Sharick and noticed this edit, which seems to contradict the Shadrick article. As it was added with a reference, I'm guessing it's not correct but seems to have slipped through the net. Nev1 (talk) 17:56, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's an odd situation. I wanted to include in this article that Shadrick was wrongly ID'd as the first soldier killed in combat, and indeed the initial reports were that Shadrick had died as Osan, when in fact he died at a minor engagement slightly to the south at the same time. So, I was trying to reflect that at Battle of Osan. —Ed!^(talk) 18:08, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Nev1 (talk) 18:14, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed!. This isn't meant to be hostile, but, I feel blocked in reviewing your work because of the Battle of the Bowling Alley FAC. Given that I haven't been reviewing much recently, I'm not "up to date." Could you reassure me? Fifelfoo (talk) 02:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you mean. —Ed!^(talk) 15:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When Battle of the Bowling Alley went through FAC there was consternation and panic about the use of PD material as body text. I've checked this two or three times before mentioning it, as I remember my personal feeling of shock (having supported the FAC). Fifelfoo (talk) 22:12, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Well, I stopped that practice after that FAC and I've been looking at how to rework that article (and a small number of others, admittedly) to remove the problem. —Ed!^(talk) 03:58, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is exactly what I hoped I'd hear, and makes me feel confident I can review your articles at MILHIST A and FAC! Fifelfoo (talk) 04:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats! I'd like to interest you in reviewing some GA from your area of interest (see WP:GAN) for the full list, so we can deal with our 2-3 months backlog :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 17:46, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review! Actually, I was thinking of working on some more GA noms to add fodder for reviewers in the upcoming GAN backlog elimination drive. I'll be reviewing then, too. —Ed!^(talk) 17:51, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As you have five or more DYK credits, you'll need to review another article at DYK before your nomination can be approved, per the QPQ rule: "Review requirement – Reviewing another editor's nomination is part of the nomination process for self-nominations. This makes it more likely that all nominations are reviewed in a timely manner. You may add your nomination before you undertake a review, but before it is approved, please review another editor's nomination and indicate at your nomination which you have reviewed, and (if you know how to do this) provide a link to the diff for your review. New nominators (those with fewer than five DYK credits) are exempt from this review requirement, as is the nomination of another editor's article. For help in learning the reviewing process, see the reviewers' guide." Once you've done this, just reply at the nomination page, stating what you have reviewed. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. Harrias ^talk 01:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
