PMS

The acronym 'PMS' should be expanded, as for DMS. It would also be useful to compare and contrast them. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:22, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, thanks. Definition expanded. However, as the nature of the PMS and DMS are quite different, and these differences tend to be generic and are mentioned in active loudspeaker, I'm not sure how to compare them. Regards, -- Ohc ^¡digame! 07:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Linn Kan.jpg is one I created myself, so there really ought not to be any issue. All the others have OTRS tickets, so review should only be a formality – this is not something I am in control of. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 06:36, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, one option would be you could try posting to commons:Commons:Village pump and/or commons:Commons:Help desk for assistance with those particular images. You're right, review is probably a formality and just a matter of removing those pesky transfer tags, but best to go the proper routes in this case. — Cirt (talk) 06:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request made. Hopefully this won't take long. Regards, -- Ohc ^¡digame! 07:21, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stability review

Upon inspection of article edit history, going back over one month, I see one instance of vandalism. The user was blocked indef. Just something to keep an eye on. Y.
Checked talk page edit history. No issues or conflicts there. Y.

Citations review

I've added some cites needed tags that need to be addressed.
I'd really appreciate it if the cites could be standardized using WP:CIT templates. There is a bit of inconsistency in formatting from one citation to the next, makes it a bit confusing and more difficult to evaluate the citations. Using WP:CIT templates would help increase standardization and make it much easier for me to evaluate the adherence of citations to WP:RS, and WP:V, and other site policies.

— Cirt (talk) 01:18, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 10:10, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Okay, that makes it easier. Several cites are missing fields, such as accessdate, date, publisher, author, etc. — Cirt (talk) 20:41, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All citations fields have been populated where the metadata exists, citations have been resequenced, and I have now created archives for the citations where these are original content. Note that courtesy links are for the purposes of WP:V during reviews, and have not been archived due to possible copyright implications. I believe that by doing so, we obviate the need to include access dates, which are supposedly useful for retrieval of content from dynamic pages. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 03:08, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Certainly www.webcitation.org is much more durable than www.wordpress.com. — Cirt (talk) 04:26, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Passed as GA

Thanks for being so responsive to my recommendations, above. The image thing is not a big deal, hopefully someone will help fix the formatting soon of those pages on Commons. Great job, — Cirt (talk) 06:51, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Date missing for the Hi-Fi for Pleasure article

The date on the Hi-Fi for Pleasure article was throwing errors, so I commented it out and templated it. --mathieu ottawa (talk) 06:50, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
