(ec) Gabe has just posted this on my talk page in response to my source request: [1]

== Your FAs ==

Run a few of them through the peer reviewer if you need something to do.

  • Death of Ian Tomlinson has 4 dead links, and numerous issues with WP:MOS
  • Muhammad al-Durrah incident has numerous WP:MOS issues
  • Marshalsea has many, many MoS issues and deadlinks
  • Stanley Green uses a gallery, which MoS discourages
  • Abu Nidal has DABs and Dead Links, and uses weasel words, and needs to be made consistent with either American or British spelling
  • Brown Dog affair has numerous MoS issues and dead links
  • Rudolf Vrba has MoS issues, deadlinks, DAB links, and weasel words
  • Night (book) has many MoS issues and needs to be made consistent with either American or British spelling
  • Joel Brand has MoS issues and a redirect that needs to be fixed
  • Bernard Williams has many MoS issues and needs to be made consistent with either American or British spelling

SlimVirgin, is case you didn't know, Waters changed the film in his show, and the star of David is no longer juxtaposed with a dollar sign. — GabeMc (talk) 20:57, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't know about the rest, but MOS does not discourage galleries, & several have been accepted in FACs. Johnbod (talk) 21:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gabe, there is either a source for the sentence "Sometime during the late summer to early autumn of 1965 Waters co-founded Pink Floyd with Barrett, Wright and Mason," or there isn't. Is there is, please add it.

This has now been fixed I think. — GabeMc (talk) 20:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand frustration at the end of a long FAC, but you've been biting people's heads off since before the restart. It means things aren't being checked, and I'm not sure copying material into this article from Pink Floyd without attribution [2] was a good idea, because it means someone else's writing, sourcing, and context has been added here. That might be fine, but it's hard to be sure, and if we ask for clarification we get told off. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 20:49, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You were wrong about the source request and being intentionally tedious. — GabeMc (talk) 00:29, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
