Hey, Dank! I hope you're doing fine. I just re-nominated Juan Manuel de Rosas for a FAC. The last one failed for lack of reviews. Would mind taking a look at it again (or repeating your vote, whichever you prefer). Also, could you invite someone to review it as well, if you can? Here's the nomination page: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Juan Manuel de Rosas/archive3. Kind regards, -- Lecen ( talk) 13:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
Just to let you know I'm away until 8 November, so I won't be able to respond immediately to TFA issues that arise this week. I hope things will rmain quiet. Thanks again for your indispensible "blurb" work. Brianboulton ( talk) 08:35, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
This is just a note to let the participants at the MacGregor peer review know that the article is now up at FAC here. Cheers and I hope you're having a great weekend. — Cliftonian (talk) 12:41, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Firstly, my apologies for accidentally omitting the "e" (and thanks for catching this).
Secondly, I don't think that we encountered an ENGVAR issue. I'm American, but it was "resuming" that struck me as odd in this context (though I realize that it wasn't incorrect), so it must be a U.S. regional difference or just one of those things. "Assuming" probably is the best choice, given that it's followed by "her former name" (which conveys the fact that the name was used previously).
Thanks again. — David Levy 20:37, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dank. I'm sorry I haven't been doing some of the monthly TFA blurbs, as I volunteered to do a few months ago. I've been quite busy here with other things (especially RfA reform). In case you think I've forgotten about it, I just wanted to note that I after I complete my reform work (hopefully in a few months) I plan to retire from the public reform sphere and spend much more time on content work for history articles and such, and I might become a more active member of the MilHist project. (And of course, I'll still contribute to admin work.) When I do this, I'll probably have time to start working on the blurbs again, so I haven't forgotten about it. Thanks, Biblio worm 06:33, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I was wondering can a feature article contain an unreferenced footnote. Specifically, I can't find a direct source that talks about Pitman's ancestry down to fraction besides that he is part Hawaiian and Caucasian, but sources do state he had a white father and a white great-grandfather on his mother's side. I left the citation without reference because I realized that would be creating a synthesis.-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 04:46, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
So I'm confused... you and another user who's no longer active marked an article I authored in 2009 for deletion, "Senior Loans" citing copyright infringement from a site on which you found an article on the same topic name (which btw is no longer active either). See below.
"04:12, 8 May 2009 Dank (talk | contribs) deleted page Senior Loans (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.fccm.com/senior_loans.htm)". Who's to say they didn't copy me?!
What's more confusing is that while you and the now inactive user processed that claim more than 6 years ago, I only just a week or two ago received an email alert to that affect.
My composition was in fact in my own words and contributed to educating readers on the topic, I'm unsure whether I saved my composition but at this point I'm likely to simply forego attempting to republish it.
It's a shame all these faceless people have belabored what used to be simple and open and conducive to sharing knowledge freely to advance learning around the world via wikipedia.
Re this, it's not a problem. The wording I changed it to works, regardless. The whole UK/GB/England thing is darn confusing, especially when it comes to sports teams. -- Dweller ( talk) 17:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Dank. Could you clarify the reason for the Bruce Kingsbury revert? The article clearly states he died in 1942, yet the TFA template says "born 8 January 1918", as if he's still alive. Brandmeister talk 19:38, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the message informing me about Gateshead International Stadium being considered for Today's FA. I'm not really that active on the project nowadays and as a result the article needs a little updating I think. Nothing major, but some obvious bits need amending – some info about the 2013 European Team Championship and additions reflecting the move of Gateshead Thunder to Newcastle in 2014 are the two stand-out omissions. I'm pretty much free all day tomorrow so I'll try to do what is necessary then. Meetthefeebles ( talk) 23:10, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Dank. One month has passed since the opening of the Phase II RfC, so I just ended voting. (I'm actually on a wikibreak right now, but I do want to make sure everything is closed up properly.) Would you kindly be willing to close it? The results seem rather straightforward; four pass, the rest fail. Someone still has to perform the formal process of closing it, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Biblioworm ( talk • contribs)
