Hi. I've hidden your edit re the plane crash today. BBC News and Sky news give two different roads, and your location is different to both of them. Until it is known for definite where the exact location is, it is better to not name any potential exact location. Welcome to Wikipedia! Mjroots ( talk) 17:09, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi PheonixRMB, I noticed this and was wondering whether you'd be willing to voluntarily withdraw. FAC doesn't function well as a peer review process and reviewer time/resources are quite scarce (i.e. it would be helpful to allow them to focus on other candidates, if you feel the Hamilton FAC can't be salvaged this time around). Peer review or a Good Article review might be good next steps. If you're ok with withdrawing, just enter a comment at the FAC. Best, ЭLСОВВОLД talk 15:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Just to add my twopennorth to elcobbola's comments, I appreciate you're acting in good faith but it really is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. This way they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar with the sources to make any suggested improvements. Someone who hasn't worked on the article can't provide this input, so the FAC rumbles on until the opposes become so overwhelming that the article is failed, taking a lot of reviewers' time. To be honest, the prospect of this article becoming a featured article seems remote. We are desperately short of reviewers and it's a disheartening process for nominator and reviewer alike to see the "opposes" pile on. I have left messages with the four biggest contributors and asked them to comment/input on the FAC's talk page. In the meantime, I strongly recommend that you withdraw the article from the featured article process. This is quick and easy: you merely type "withdraw" on the article's FAC nomination page and sign. Best wishes, -- ROGER DAVIES talk 16:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
