		The Invisible Barnstar
		Thank you for completing 2 reviews in the March 2021 backlog drive. Your work helped us reduce the backlog by over 52%. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 13:44, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

On a personal note, I think the simplicity of your userpage is beautiful. I love that poem, it's one of my favorites. Dickinson was amazing. All the best, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 13:45, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, Eddie891. I admire Dickinson's unique style of poetry. It is fairly simple, yet tranquil at core. — The Most Comfortable Chair 16:41, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Your change to this page did improve one aspect of the wording, which was the suggestion that the books sent replaced the destroyed library. That is good.

But it retains the assertion that the sending was the choice of one or both of the couple, when the disaster to the library happened after their deaths, I think. A passively voiced "their books were sent" might be better. I haven't changed it that way, because I'm not sure the source really supports it, or not in a way where I am happy with the wording. But I am sure it does not support the claim that they chose to send the books. That was the bit that was dubious—the dates make it impossible. Would be interested in your thoughts. --PaulBetteridge (talk) 11:46, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello PaulBetteridge. That was my bad, I should have been more careful when I was reading the source. I did not recognize that the flooding happened well after their deaths. The source implies that those books were part of a bequest they left for the AMS, so I have tried to clarify that. That is a good spot and thank you for bringing it up to me. I am hoping that it looks good now, but would you suggest any further changes there? — The Most Comfortable Chair 12:53, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

I'm happy with it, thank you. --PaulBetteridge (talk) 14:30, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Precious

welcome biographies

Thank you for quality articles about people related to Spanish culture, such as Tomás Yepes and William B. Jordan, and for Convent of Santo Domingo (Valencia), for sharing your own bio, for quality reviewing and welcoming new users, for an inspiring user page, whether an image or a poem, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2599 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:27, 21 May 2021 (UTC) The Most Comfortable Chair

Thank you so much for this, Gerda Arendt. I have seen you leaving positive messages and reminding editors of their Precious anniversaries so often — you are an awesome Wikipedian! You truly are one of the kindest people I have come across, and you have made my day. — The Most Comfortable Chair 08:18, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I do have to say your username reminds me of The Spanish Inquisition who all want to use the comfy chair on people. But then, I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition..... Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 15:02, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Ritchie333, nobody expects The Spanish Inquisition. Nor does anybody expect a chesterfield to materialize out of thin air during the Ashes. Chairs are splendid. — The Most Comfortable Chair 17:53, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

TonyBallioni (talk) 19:06, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Finally got a look at this now that my migraines have subsided. I made a few quick typo and grammar fixes myself, and I have a few questions/things for you to adjust on your own time:

• Specify in lede who said that El Greco of Toledo was the "most ambitious" collection by El Greco
• Date for his marriage in infobox
• Should "Division of Fine Arts" be capitalized? (Didn't change it cause I wasn't sure)
• Same with "seceratory" -- I'm assuming you mean "secretary"?
• When I did journalism, we were told to try to avoid em dashes whenever possible and find other punctuation to help our flow. I don't think that's a one size fits all, but something to consider.

Overall, very solid! I'm not surprised, since I saw it at GA level, but still. You've done a lot of work on a person who I had never heard of before I nabbed the review. :) Kncny11 ^(shoot) 19:47, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

I have changed a couple of things that you suggested, and I will work on other points. I have looked everywhere but I cannot seem to find anything related to his personal life. Thank you for your input, Kncny11. I will proceed with the peer review next. — The Most Comfortable Chair 10:28, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

My friend, thank you again for your review of bugchasing. I sent it over to WP:DYK -- 30,000+ views on the day it was listed on the front page. Your help made the article better and allowed many more people to learn about this practice. For this and more, I thank you and wish you well. Till next time? Urve 08:33, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Urve, that is amazing — congratulations! 30,000+ views is substantial, and I believe that your article is eligible to be added to this list. It is delightful to see articles I have reviewed appear on the main page. Bugchasing has been one of the better written articles I have reviewed, and it was a pleasure working with you. Till next time! — The Most Comfortable Chair 13:34, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, The Most Comfortable Chair! Thank you for your excellent feedback during the GA nomination process. I finally have this article appropriately sourced, and after another request for copy edit, I will be submitting it for FAC. Regards, DrGregMN (talk) 20:57, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

I hope it goes well, DrGregMN. I will drop by and leave comments in a few days time. — The Most Comfortable Chair 15:37, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 05:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

The Most Comfortable Chair, you currently have two GA reviews opened: one, Talk:Mickey Guyton/GA1, you haven't posted to for two months, and the other Talk:Irtash/GA1, you haven't posted to in a month and a half. In the latter, you mentioned that you would be busy until August 5, and while you did make some posts before then, your most recent edit on Wikipedia was July 31, over a month ago.

Real life happens, and things can get in the way. In that case, if reviewers disappear, it's only fair that, if the nominator wishes, the review be considered abandoned and put back with no loss of precedence for a new reviewer to be found. I've consulted with the nominator on Mickey Guyton, and they wish for a new reviewer, so I'll be taking care of that in the next day or two. I'm going to consult with the Irtash nominator to see how they want to proceed. If you return to the review prior to then, ready to continue, that will naturally be moot. If you are no longer prepared to continue the reviews and see this, please let me know. Many thanks.

I hope you are well, and that you ultimately are able to return to Wikipedia. Best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:55, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your help here, and all those times in the past. I hope you have been well. I received an email notification about your talk page message and I logged back in. Past few months haven't been kind to me and I feel like I have lost all my motivation. I really do feel sorry for not leaving a message to the people who nominated those articles. I know I should have let them know, but I have been stuck in sort of a limbo of late. I honestly don't know when or if I will be active again. Thank you for everything again and I am sorry for this trouble. Take care, BlueMoonset. — The Most Comfortable Chair 12:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello The Most Comfortable Chair, I have archived the peer review for William B. Jordan as it has been inactive for about two months now, in order to help with the backlog (Oh, backlogs...). I hope that you are doing well, and if you wish to return to continue work on the article I would be happy to leave some comments. Best wishes, Zetana (talk) 23:52, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Welcome back, even if for a bit. You were missed... I hope all is well with you and yours. I left some comments on the Jordan peer review, and if you ever have the appetite to continue working on that, I'd be happy to offer more. Or if you have something else you'd like to work on and would like some feedback, I can lend a hand. "Till next time?", I asked before - that offer still stands. On a personal note, I find your work to be of varied taste and high quality, with an obvious dedication to excellence, so even if you're back for just a bit, you're making this place better. Urve (talk) 09:53, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I am happy to see you, Urve! How have you been? Things got a little rough for me, maybe a little too rough, but all's well that ends well. I am back for good now and I will continue working on projects I had planned to work on. I am in the process of trimming Jordan's article and implementing your suggestions — which were greatly helpful — and I will come to you again after I am done with the pruning. I have hoarded a bunch of archived sources for future projects, such as expanding Elizabeth Blackwell Medal among others, but I don't have anything concrete planned. If there is an article you feel we can work on, let me know and I will be happy to collaborate. And thank you for your kind words, Urve, — The Most Comfortable Chair 12:01, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Seconded, and thanks for the review ... btw, did you come across the Norwegian jazz musician Solveig Slettahjell's rendering of "Hope is the thing with feathers"? Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:40, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful rendering, Chiswick Chap. It is my favorite poem, and this is the first time I am hearing it as a song. Takes me back to our schooldays of poetry recitation. — The Most Comfortable Chair 05:09, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Mmm yes I like it too, a very natural recitation. Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:31, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Have you listened to the music of The Tolkien Ensemble? I adore their A Walking Song (I), which I think captures the essence of the poem and the setting perfectly. — The Most Comfortable Chair 06:42, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I think they're great. Specially the hobbity songs like The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late, which I seem to have brought to GA at some stage! Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:02, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out to me. I noticed that on Narayana Guru it is stated "Narayana Guru, né Nanu, was born on 20 August 1856 to a family of the Ezhava caste, Madan Asan and his wife Kuttiyamma, in the village of Chempazhanthy near Thiruvananthapuram, in the erstwhile state of Travancore, in British India". It has gramnatical mistake, also Narayana Guru was beyond caste or religion. It is against his principle to identify him with a caste name even before his parents name. Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malayalee0121 (talk • contribs) 13:47, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Malayalee0121. I understand where you are coming from, but Wikipedia is not censored. Information regarding Narayan Guru's early life — especially about his caste and its effects on him — is presumably notable because of his involvement in the reformation movement later on. Or at least that is what I gather from what I have read. However, I am no expert in this area, and if you still maintain that the information is not relevant, I suggest you start a thread on the article's talk page and get a consensus for your proposed changes. — The Most Comfortable Chair 05:10, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

December 2021

Thank you for the GA review. Before going into detail, I want to fix a few articles with a deadline, - thank you for understanding. First thing done: look into the draft for an opera singer. Next: Nothgottes, possibly for New Year's Day,Y then Lasst uns loben, freudig loben (same) and Psalm 29, I'd like to get Parts II and III to better quality until Christmas, and I also have a FAC open, and I want to pic monthly images for the 2022 calendar, - this being December 2021. Thank you for your patience. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:54, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

You always select the best images. Let me know if you would require assistance with any of this. — The Most Comfortable Chair 18:13, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I take my calendar pics ;) - I could use help with (not yet mentioned) Frédéric Blanc who's heading for AfD, but it would take someone speaking French. I also didn't mention 2 articles in the process of being translated to German. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:25, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I presume that sourcing is the primary concern for Blanc's article. I will see if I can find better alternatives. — The Most Comfortable Chair 06:48, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Would you believe that what the Chartres Competition writes about him is halfway reliable? (Because they don't.) - There are many instances of his name in the bio of Duruflé. He is mentioned with gratitude here [1] (just found last night) and other publications by Carus. - How about this? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

I left some replies at Edita Gruberová for your consideration. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:02, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
