Not a monkey puzzle tree (requiescat Araucaria) but that of the Mitford galère. See here and demand changes ad lib. File:Mitford-selective-tree1.jpg. Thine, Tim riley ( talk) 00:43, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Still tinkering. More over the weekend. I enjoy doing things like this, and it's worth fine-tuning till they're spot-on. Am ahead of you chez Hattie Jacques, below, but then of the many buttons people can press to get me responding the one marked "Carry On Films" is not the least effective. Tim riley ( talk) 14:40, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Appreciate the feedback for Of Human Feelings. Unfortunately my requests for feedback from other editors were not in time (I'm guessing busy with Thanksgiving weeknd), and it was archived. I opened a third FAC here if it's of any interest to you. At least two of the dozen I asked replied and said they'll look into reviewing it, so there's hope LOL.

Hello, BB. Can you comment on this translation issue at Talk:Life Is a Dream? Thanks for any guidance. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 23:40, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
It seems to have been withdrawn. Discussion here. SlimVirgin (talk) 02:20, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi, as someone who took part in the previous nomination can you comment on this. — Vensatry (Ping me) 04:02, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
A Boy was Born: it's not my private opinion that this is the title of Britten's work, but the opinion of the publisher and respectable sources. I would rather follow them than MOS which is not holy scriptures to me. For once I believe in Commonname, a name that reader will recognise. I agree that there is also A Boy Was Born, - the name of a festival in Sheffield. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:43, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Brian, I hope all is well with you. Cassianto and I come with begging bowls in hand asking for a favour. We've got the very lovely Hattie Jacques at PR, and would appreciate any comments, thoughts and suggestions you may have. As always there is no rush, and if you are too busy, then there is no problem at all. All the best - SchroCat ( talk) 07:55, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello Brian, with Hattie's PR now closed, can I just extend my thanks for the excellent review. Your comments have gone a long way in terms of improvement and SchroCat and I are both truly grateful. Cassianto Talk 09:58, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks once again for your hugely useful efforts on Hattie. The dear lady is now at FAC, in no small part because of your assistance. Thanks again. - SchroCat ( talk) 21:42, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

For getting Stella Gibbons up to FA status. Excellent work! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:07, 8 December 2013 (UTC) |
Yeah I noticed I've only given you special barnstars and while it is very true it is nice to have some variation! 79 FAs is incredible.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:20, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
I've taken the liberty of replacing the existing tree graphic in your sandbox with a new one with a different layout allowing a clearer typeface. The snag is it now sandwiches text between the tree and the caricature of Lord Redesdale, though a bit of juggling might fix that. Pray ponder whether you think it an improvement and add in main article if preferred. Tim riley ( talk) 14:29, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm
BracketBot. I have automatically detected that
your edit to
Nancy Mitford may have broken the
syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just
edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on
my operator's talk page.
Thanks, BracketBot ( talk) 15:02, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

You may be interested in knowing I have just laid Franklin Peale, of whom you have heard much, at PR here. He turns out to have been quite the character, from one of Philadelphia's famous (and somewhat eccentric) families.-- Wehwalt ( talk) 16:13, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Latin for "O, table!" Revised table now uploaded for your consideration. I was a touch uncertain of the lines you wanted to the left of and below the Stanley box, which pray check. Colours can be adjusted ad lib. Alterations, tattooes, ear-piercings and tooth extractions done while you wait. Tim riley ( talk) 17:20, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
When you have time, could you look at these points? Brianboulton ( talk) 22:46, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
I have sent you an email with an extract from the diaries of James Lees-Milne about Mitford's dying days. It may or may not be of use, but I mention it here knowing that your email service is dodgy. I can post it here (it isn't very long) if wanted. Tim riley ( talk) 17:04, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nancy Mitford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West End ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Brian, I do hope you are well. I'm just dropping you a line to let you know that I've nominated Air Rhodesia Flight 825 for FA. This was one of the uglier incidents of the Rhodesian war: ZIPRA fighters downed a civilian plane and shot most of the survivors with machine guns (some of the passengers survived by hiding before the attackers reached the crash site). Rhodesia reacted by flattening guerrilla positions in Zambia and Mozambique, apparently killing a lot of refugees while doing so. If you're interested and at a loose end, I'd very much appreciate any suggestions you might have. The review is here. All the very best, — Cliftonian (talk) 18:21, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Brian - the FAC nomination for Chaplin has been instigated, it would be great if you are able to chip in. Hope you're well, -- Loeba (talk) 17:58, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Brian, Thanks for commenting on the St James' Church, Sydney article that I have been working on for so long and finally nominated for FA. I have now added lots (and lots) of references as you wanted. As a long-term quiet admirer of your work, I am hoping that you think it is now up to standard. When you get a chance, could you have a look please? Happy Christmas! Whiteghost.ink ( talk) 04:16, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
