The article Clarence Chesterfield Howerton you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Clarence Chesterfield Howerton for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of MusikAnimal -- MusikAnimal (talk) 23:52, 29 December 2013 (UTC) PASSED . Don't mind the stupid bot... I guess it didn't detect the GA page numbers correctly (since the last nom failed). Not sure if I'm supposed to remove those old FailedGA and oldpeerreview templates from the talk page, I'll find out. Anyways, the article did indeed pass. Congrats! — MusikAnimal talk 01:08, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much for all the help reviewing; and improving, the article, it is much appreciated. Thanks, Matty.007 10:53, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Matty:

Thank you very much MusiCitizen. Is there a subst message for this that I can use? Thanks, Matty.007 14:21, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
Of course, please spread the New Year cheer by adding {{subst:Happy New Year 2013}} {{subst:Happy New Year 2014}} to their talk page with a friendly message. I wish good health, joy, love and spiritual peace, now, and in the years to come. Sincerely. MusiCitizen (talk) 15:04, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
I struck the template, and added the correct year, as I didn't want to use the wrong one by mistake. Thanks, Matty.007 15:06, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!

Hello Matty.007, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Thank you for your recent submission to Articles for Creation. Your article submission has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. Please view your submission to see the comments left by the reviewer. You are welcome to edit the submission to address the issues raised, and resubmit if you feel they have been resolved.

Friendly advice

If you want to set up an RfC, you might want to create it on a sub-page and transclude it onto the main page like I did for this one. Or, considering the criticism I got for doing that, maybe not.--Gilderien Talk|List of good deeds 21:24, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited His Last Vow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Mirror (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Removal of ISBN numbers

Please could you explain your reasoning for the removal of ISBN numbers from the bibliography section of Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Margaret_Varnell_Clark I thought it was standard practice to include them in preference to references? Theroadislong (talk) 19:00, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

You may or may not be interested but...

Hi Matty; I noticed that you have had a strong hand in the Sherlock episodes and as I was watching the final episode I noticed that the house used as that of the Holmes' parents was Trewallter Fawr Farmhouse in the Vale of Glamorgan. It's a listed Grade II* building that I took a photo of fairly recently as part of the Wiki Loves Monuments competition. I haven't looked for any references to it so far, but it is the building as not only is it a dead-ringer but you can even see the little iron cat next to the front door that was in the show. It may be worth a little research, or if not it may just float your boat to know this. Thanks for all the hard work on the articles, yours FruitMonkey (talk) 23:49, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, brilliant picture. I will look for some refs, if I can find some, I will definitely add it to the article. Thanks, Matty.007 18:32, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
I've had a look, there doesn't seem to be anything. Are there any Welsh papers that mention it? Thanks, Matty.007 18:36, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
I've had a pretty good look and so far I'm afraid I've drawn a blank. Nothing in the Western Mail, which is the regional paper that covers the Vale and Cardiff, but if I come across anything I will update you. Cheers, FruitMonkey (talk) 22:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
That's a shame, such a good picture. I will keep an eye out for sources, and if any are found we can add it. Thanks, Matty.007 17:18, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
