Hi. I've been asked to submit the article Royal National College for the Blind for FAC by PaulLargo, who is currently away for personal reasons and therefore unable to do it himself. I notice the last review was concluded with a request to submit the article again, but to notify those who had contributed to the discussion to determine whether they had any major objections to it being put forward again. Since the last FAC I've done some minor work on expanding it and, along with another user, have added more images. I feel it's probably ready for submission again, but wanted to run it past those who reviewed it last time before completing the nomination. If there are no objections by Monday 26 July I'll assume everything is ok and submit the FAC and wait for comments. Cheers TheRetroGuy ( talk) 14:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Hoi Ucucha--two things. First of all, I'm sorry to say that I couldn't identify the rodent that my cat left--in the backyard I had the head, the tail, and some organ (a bladder?) connected to the tail, and then the rest of it, regurgitated, in the front yard. Rodents are nice, but partly processed they're not so yummy anymore. I also didn't say a prayer for it--but I did retch for ten minutes. Second, how does one do a multiple DYK? Or, did I get it right? Thanks! Drmies ( talk) 16:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ucucha, was wondering if you could do me a favor. I'm considering bringing Amanita regalis to FAC, and am going through the literature again. One source in Dutch I can access here (starts at page 39), but the Babelfish translator just isn't doing it for me. Would you be able to take a look and see if there's anything in there that's missed in the article? I get the gist from the abstract that the author doesn't believe the taxon should be considered a distinct species, but I'd like to hear his rationale and include it.

Would you be able to tell me whether a discography article would have a problem passing the FLC if the sizes of the certification-awards and sales-figures are minimized as it is in this version of Lady Gaga discography for example?

Hey Uchucha,
When researching the article, I found that the etymology was German, from vor+leser (which I didn't realize I misspelled in the article :/). As far as the adoption, I found that many similar words from different languages had a form of vorleser, and in retrospect (from what seemed obvious to me) was that the German word must have been adopted by other European languages. This constitutes OR (oops), and I will remove it. -
