I'm not going to contest the closure, but I just thought I'd let you know I have posted a post closure comment on the article's talk page, here. Normally I do get annoyed when admins don't further explain themselves and simply say 'take it to DRV', however in this case, you can consider this just a courtesy notification incase you want to exercise your right of reply (not that I'm particularly seeking to criticise you - whatever I think the policies and instructions say which seem to contradict it, I appreciate outcomes like this are common simply as a cultural flaw with Afd generally) - I honestly won't be bothered if you don't feel the need to.

Yes, "onboard" is a legitimate word, and is perfectly acceptable. But it is an adjective, and cannot be used in place of the prepositional phrase "on board". "The onboard computer failed, so they had to use pencil and paper." "He died on board the ship." In the first sentence, "onboard" is an adjective that modifies the noun "computer". In the second sentence, "on board the ship" is a prepositional phrase that tells where he died. An adjective doesn't work there. Happy editing! Chris the speller yack 14:16, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi The ed17/Archives/40,
Your work as an Online Ambassador is making a big contribution to Wikipedia. Right now, we're trying to measure just how much student work improves the quality of Wikipedia. If you'd like contribute to this research and get a firsthand look at the quality improvement that is happening through the project, please sign up to assess articles. Assessment is happening now, just use the quantitative metric and start assessing! Your help would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you, ARoth (Public Policy Initiative) ( talk) 17:15, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Is there any chance you can address the remaining issues here in the next week? I expect that you're probably mired in finals, but it would be nice to get these minor issues resolved if at all possible.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 14:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Any thoughts would be welcome.

I've suggested about how to title this prospective article before. I now suggest the above. It gets three hits at GoogleBooks. Srnec ( talk) 20:21, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
I think you answered a related question on crown copyright before, could you have a look at the last question in the image review at WP:Featured_article_candidates/Kenneth_Walker/archive1 if you can spare a moment? - Dank ( push to talk) 02:46, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
Really, I'm not 100% sure yet. There are other slight changes I'd like to make but haven't figured the template enough to do. But it's the best I can do and it's workable. These are the points that come to mind:
Any ideas how to do this? FT2 ( Talk | email) 23:53, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
Hey thanks for the comment Ed. I replied on my TP if your interested :)
BTW, I don't really get what happened here. That section title is non-existent in the ACR page so why did it com up like that? I'm using firefox and this has happened in the past I believe but I don't want anyone to think that I'm still lingering over that issue....-- White Shadows Stuck in square one 23:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Ed. Just wanted to know whether you consider there enough support for the article to pass it as it stands (or indeed fail it, although one assumes this is not the case). If not, I will withdraw it over concerns at the new FAC that two concurrent reviews aren't helpful. I'm deeply worried about having contradicted proper procedure, though, so I'm not pushing per se for a hasty resolution. Grandiose ( me, talk, contribs) 16:43, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. Unfortunately I think my next target for improvement (ongoing) isn't under MILHIST :( Why can't you guys extend your A-class to all articles, it's that good :P Regards, - Jarry1250 Weasel? Discuss. 20:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber ( submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by Racepacket ( submissions), Hurricanehink ( submissions) and Canada Hky ( submissions) respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.
A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!
