Is Omond House still standing? Has it been preserved as a historical relic? PhilUK ( talk) 22:34, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
WP:SEASON deprecates this, and this article is a great example of why. I took out "in early spring" referring to March. But March in the southern hemisphere is autumn! It's a super article all told, but it doesn't need this distracting and ambiguous terminology. -- The Huhsz ( talk) 23:24, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Why is "The building was constructed from local materials using the dry stone method, with a roof improvised from wood and canvas sheeting." better than "The building was constructed from local materials using dry stone, with a roof of wood and canvas sheeting." on an online encyclopedia? Surely the building as a whole was "improvised"; the wording that is being restored implied that the expedition carried plans for the walls but when it came to the roof had to extemporise. Did they? And why is "the drystone method" better than "drystone"? I'm sorry, but this looks like flabby writing to me. -- The Huhsz ( talk) 12:37, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Keep headings neutral: A heading on an article talk page should indicate what the topic is, but not communicate a specific view about it." Bold in orginal), and your point scoring is doing nothing but highlighting what a combative approach you're taking when there is no need.
This building ... The building ... The completed house, mentioning twice that it's of stone, isn't exactly tight either, and it jumps around in time -- we get the christening before the building. Perhaps
drivel

Gosh! "Rotten edit", "uppity"; coming in here is like walking into a private members' club at closing time. Get over yourselves! "Uppity" indeed! -- The Huhsz ( talk) 19:11, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Greetings fellow editors! I found this funny meme on Facebook, which labels who is Piper Kerr and who is the penguin, but I honestly think it would be best to remove the image (which I will do), since many protections can be added to the page, and it will be constantly vandalized even after the protection expires.

Please revert this edit. "This content will be vandalized if it's not removed" is not a good reason for removing part of the article. 50.215.33.122 ( talk) 01:52, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
Who did the majority of the work to get this to FA status? What do they think of the (right) and (left)? Looking back in the history it seems like people have just been beating the snot out of each other on this point for around ten years. jp× g 🗯️ 09:03, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
