Problem with Facundo[edit]

Hi. You'll see that there's a problem with your article. If you do not understand this, you need to come see me ASAP. This needs to be fixed, and there's not much time. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 01:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And I see you've gone back to the article now. Can I suggest you wait until your group has seen me tomorrow? --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 03:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Or rather, what I suggest you do is this... Start with the synopsis. This is something you should be able to do in your own words: a summary of what the book says. Do not refer to what was previously in the article. Do a bit, and perhaps Lyn and Bessie can also do a bit. Again, in your own words. Though you can quote Sarmiento where you think that's significant, or to indicate significant pages. See how it's done in El Señor Presidente. --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 04:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Facundo[edit]

Hi -- if you and your team are still interested in getting the article to GA, I would be happy to do what I can to help. It looks like the other articles I've been involved with don't need much attention at the moment, so I'd be glad to see what I can do. I'll have a go at copyediting it, and see if I can offer any advice or questions on the talk page. If you have any questions just ask on the article talk page or my talk page. Mike Christie (talk) 02:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To echo what Mike has said, it's been a real pleasure working with such enthusiastic and willing editors as your team, and I'd hate to think this hiccup has put you off. That's one of the strengths of Wikipedia - when we make editing mistakes on an article (and we all have!), we can just click the edit button again and fix them. I know it's disappointing and not what we were expecting, but we'll get there! EyeSerene^talk 19:36, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Final pre-GA update for Facundo[edit]

Mike and I agree that your article is looking in good shape - thank you so much for all the work you've put in! I've created a new "to-do" list from the various posts on the talk page, which you can find here. The items in this list are the only remaining issues we could find, and there's not really much there... looks like the end is finally in sight now! EyeSerene^talk 16:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations![edit]

I'm so pleased this made it through GA; well-deserved after all the work that's been done on it. Take a look at the article talk page for a couple of very positive comments from two respected editors. Congratulations! Mike Christie (talk) 01:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, congratulations! You did it! You can now put this on your user page if you want:

This user helped promote Facundo to good article status.
