Could be worse, no? Mostly gnomes adding annoying stuff at the foot of the article, and some stray "shite" here and there, but overall, not a disaster in terms of maintaining article integrity. Its such a great page to have on main page; hope the day was not too stressful. IOWs delighted for you! Ceoil ( talk) 02:30, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
I liked your "cockroach" comment though I'm glad you explained it as I would not have figured it out. I think you're right that there must be others like you who haven't found the time to install the viewer, or don't know about it. I know you're not all that active these days, but if you decide you want to see what the viewer looks like, it's very quick -- click this link, and add the following line to that page:
importScript('User:Gary/nominations viewer.js'); // [[Wikipedia:Nominations Viewer]]
If you do try it, perhaps it will let you look down the list of FACs more easily and find ones that tempt you into reviewing. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 17:12, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi Victoria. Hope you are doing well. I wanted to discuss something with you regarding the article Empress Shōshi which was expanded by you. If you remember, 6 years ago I suggested that we move the page to her maiden name "Fujiwara no Shōshi" per WP:TITLECON as that's how the pages for other Japanese empresses are titled, but you were not convinced enough to support the move. I just wanted to point out though, that there are four other empresses who sort of share that name: Princess Shōshi (1027–1105), Princess Shōshi (1195–1211), Saionji Shōshi, and Princess Shōshi (1286–1348). I did not want to go ahead with another WP:RM, because the page you worked on might well be WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, in which case I can create a disambiguation page instead of opening an RM and wasting everyone's energy, but I wanted to consult you first and see what you think the right course of action could be. Hope you feel better and I'll be looking forward to your response. Have a nice weekend. Keivan.f Talk 22:13, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you today for Annunciation (Memling), introduced (in 2015): "Hans Memling painted this pretty Annunciation scene around 1480. It's simple, striking, and has interesting iconography, yet someone must not have liked it very much because when a Polish prince found it in one of his family's estates early in the 19th century, it had been pierced through by an arrow. Early in the 20th century it was brought to America, transferred to canvas, and now resides in New York at the Metropolitan Museum of Art."! - On the same page: Seiji Ozawa (my thanks on my talk) and Helga Paris, a photographer of houses and faces. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:18, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
