... and today Bobby Gibbes, saying "I've made use of a good many sources to try and tell Gibbes' story in context, and to get behind the usual facade of the fearless fighter pilot and crack shot, neither of which he claimed to be. Still, "irrepressible" is the word I'd use to describe him: a dual ace who flew combat in a cast when he broke his ankle; went beyond the call of duty to rescue one of his mates who crashed in the desert; participated in the "Morotai Mutiny" of 1945; pioneered air transport in New Guinea; and built and flew his own light plane in his 60s and 70s."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:04, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Good afternoon Ian. Apologies if this is not the correct place for this request. My FA nom Siege of Berwick (1333) has five supports, an image review and a placeholder for the source review which has been there for two weeks. I have reminded the placeholding editor, but I wondered if I might have permission to nominate a further FA while we wait for the source review? Thanks.

Hi Ian. I have re-nominated this and hope that is acceptable by the established process. The article's main authors have reviewed it very thoroughly and addressed every criticism we could find. It has been at least two weeks and I have no other nominations pending. Let me know if there are any concerns. Thank you for all your good work. Jehochman Talk 02:33, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

I can probably do a review or two this week; I looked at the urgents and I think it needs updating, so any requests? Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 15:12, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello again. I was wondering if you could look at my current FAC. It has only been up for ten days, but it has received four support votes, an image review, and a source review. Since it has not been up that long (not even two weeks), I am not certain that is ready for promotion, but I was just wondering your thoughts on its status? Thank you in advance! Aoba47 ( talk) 23:10, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Apologies again for the message, but I was just curious about the status of the FAC. It has been a little over a week since my last message, and one additional editor supported the nomination. Aoba47 ( talk) 19:27, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ian, just wondering if you had anything else re: your review? Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 01:48, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ian, noticing that you have an interest in first wave punk, have put " Cut the Crap" up for PR. Its a strange addition to their cannon that brings up a lot of heated emotions, with that in mind the PR is framed as a "safe space" were you can eff, blind, and vent about mid 80s music and where did it all go wrong to your hearts content. You input anyhow would be valued. Ceoil ( talk) 12:24, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Not sure if there is a good way to ask FAC coordinators a question, so asking you individually. Will Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Roger B. Chaffee/archive1 require a spot check? All my other FACs I co-nominated with Hawkeye, so this is my first solo-nom FAC. Kees08 (Talk) 04:39, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
@ WP:FAC coordinators: I'm going to be taking almost a month off from editing to work on a project that I hope will benefit new editors. I want to be available for a week after I post any proposed blurbs, so the timing is a little tight. Would it be okay if I post my suggested blurbs (currently in User:Dank/Sandbox/5) to FAC talk pages before the articles get promoted? I'll add a disclaimer, of course, that I'm not trying to predict when or if articles will get promoted. (Just between us, I don't even think about doing blurbs until I see two solid supports.) I'm just trying to get people to look at the blurbs before I leave. It's fine to say "no", of course, if you have concerns about the blurb review process interfering in any way with the FAC process. - Dank ( push to talk) 15:53, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
This is to let you know that the Joe Hewitt (RAAF officer) article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 13, 2019. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 13, 2019, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
We also suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors on the day before and the day of this TFA. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:58, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
...so, ping! Maury Markowitz ( talk) 18:13, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
I want to start this off by saying it does not really bother me, so only take action if it bothers you :). I presume you place FAs into the various sections on Wikipedia:Featured_articles (if not please point me in the right direction). Warfare biographies has Alan Shepard and John Glenn, while Neil Armstrong is under Physics and astronomy biographies. With Aldrin, Collins, and Chaffee coming up, as well as Dave Scott I think, it could be useful to make the categorization consistent. GA puts them under Physics and astronomy (to be fair, I might have made that subcategory). Anyways, it does not bother me if they are not grouped together on the FA page, but I thought maybe it would bother someone, so just wanted to bring it up. Kees08 (Talk) 00:49, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I had a question about an FLC of mine which has been open for 5 weeks with 4 support votes and no opposition. Can it be promoted as I’d like to devote my attention to other projects.— N Ø 10:01, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello again! I hope you are doing well. My current FAC has attracted a substantial amount of commentary, and I was wondering if I would be allowed to post a second FAC. I am on the fence on whether or not I would do so as there is something nice after taking an FAC one at a time and I am honestly not in a rush for the current one. I am grateful for the editors that took the time to comment on it and help to improve it as that particular article has gotten immensely better since the FAC started. I was just curious if it was an option? Either way, have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 ( talk) 22:14, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ian, In Hewitt's article, prose says Keith while References say co-author with Alan Stephens is Jeff. (Ditto on Allan Walters). I can see it's Jeff here but are they 2 different aviation writers or same fellow using both names? JennyOz ( talk) 06:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ian, the only FP promoted in April which might be in scope for The Bugle is Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Brest, 1700. It doesn't seem to be included in any military-related articles, but does pretty clearly show that the town was fully enclosed by fortifications. I think that this probably puts it in-scope, but what do you think? Nick-D ( talk) 00:29, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ian. I wonder if I could query the status of my FAC nom for Battle of Crécy. It has had four supports and image and source reviews for two weeks, and four days ago picked up a fifth support. I am not feeling especially impatient given that you let me nominate my next FAC ten days ago, but I am wondering if there is anything which I should or could be doing to move it along? Thanks.

I've roughed in the FPs. There's a ten-day lead time on FPs, so you can usually tell the list of what's going to pass before the end of the month. The only one in the slightest bit of doubt is File:Maréchal_Canrobert_by_Nadar.jpg, which only has four supports so far, but almost certainly will get five in time, as it's so new.
Now, I'm trying to write a little more about each person this month, but I'd like you to go in and trim out anyone you don't think relevant before I really get into it. I think the justifications are all there, it's down to things like, "Is a major supporter of Alfred Dreyfus who was otherwise minimally involved in MILHIST suitable? What about someone who painted military history?
You get the idea. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 07:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the prequel to that of Clare Stevenson, the long-serving director of the Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF), the first and ultimately largest women's military service in wartime Australia. Mary Bell led the WAAAF for the first three months of its existence but, more importantly, had played a significant role agitating for its establishment. One can imagine her reaction upon being passed over for permanent command of her baby in favour of corporate executive Stevenson, but Bell was persuaded to put aside her disappointment and ended up serving in the WAAAF for most of the war, if in a minor capacity."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:04, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

G'day, Ian, I hope you are well. It seems a long time since we've talked. Anyway, I had some time this afternoon after my flight home to expand and reference the Battle of the Nek article. I seem to recall many years ago you expressed an interest in potentially working on this. (Apologies, if I have gotten this wrong -- I have a bad memory). Anyway, if you are keen and you have some time, would you mind taking a look at the article? Happy for you to adjust whatever you see fit. All the best.

Hi Ian, This story notes that several F-35s with 2OCU markings recently arrived in Australia.

The Wikipedia article on Arthur W. Vanaman and the Wikipedia article on Jonathan M. Wainwright each identify the subject of their article as the highest ranking American POW of WWII. I believe the Wainwright held the higher rank of the two, but I'm reluctant to go in and change the Vanaman article because maybe there is some nuance I'm not aware of. Either way, someone who knows should fix whichever article is incorrect. ( User:Dog-519) —Preceding undated comment added 03:56, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

As a suggestion: you might want to put a little paragraph of how to withdraw in the explanatory section of the FAC page. I'm sure others are equally unsure how to proceed. Gerbis ( talk) 08:39, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for leaving another message on your talk page. I have a quick question about my current FAC. Although the nomination has been up for only a little over two weeks, I think it is time to archive it since it has not received any commentary and it is already being buried under a list of far more active FACs.
I do not mean this in a negative or bitter way as I am glad that more editors are putting up nominations and certain topics attract editors more than others. I just realistically do not see this getting any attention in the future. Rather than pinging the FAC coordinators on the FAC itself, I wanted to get your opinion about it. Do you think archiving it would be appropriate? I can always try again in the future. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 ( talk) 03:19, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Gog the Mild ( talk) 11:26, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey Ian. I saw you archived the FAC for Open Here, which makes sense because unfortunately there just wasn't anybody reviewing it. But I saw you said "I appreciate you've tried to drum up some interest in this review, and of could it's not a great time for that anyway..." Forgive me if I'm just slow on the uptake here, lol, but what did you mean by "it's not a great time for that anyway"? Do you mean FAC isn't particularly active right now? Because of the pandemic, or some other reason? I only ask because I have other articles I'd potentially nominate, but if it's a bad time and they're just going to end up getting ignored like Open Here did, I'd perhaps wait... — Hunter Kahn 14:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Pinging @ WP:FAC coordinators: since I just nominated a FAC I'm looking to do some reviews. I picked off a couple that looked like they needed another look, but there's nothing in the urgents list at the moment. Anything you want looked at? Otherwise I'll start at the bottom and look for ones that seem under-reviewed. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 12:38, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, and I hope you are well. Might I ask why you reverted my edit
here? I was under the impression that changing [[Category:Stub-Class military history articles|51,000+]]
to [[:Category:Stub-Class military history articles|51,000+]]
took the category away from the page and presented it as a link... You'll note the same code was added by

Hi there, Ian Rose , good seeing you, I would really appreciate if you took note of (not necessarily responding) this discussion I started on the general FAC talk page. It's part a complaint and part a summary of the (frustrating; pardon my use of the word) FAC discussion surrounding just one word (in a sentence about her parents' religion which I was reluctant to add in the first place but when I did upon the user's demand, I was asked to remove parts of what appears in the source), and which led to this one oppose from a user who did not even read the article past this one sentence. I really didn't expect to have to deal with one line in the background section when the article covers almost five decades of film work. I'm not sure how much you closing coordinators read through chunks of text and that's why I started this discussion and am letting you know now. Shahid • Talk2me 05:48, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian, I have an article at FAC at the moment here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Robert Goff, Baron Goff of Chieveley/archive1. I've received some helpful critiques and I'm working on them. I unfortunately have exams until the 19th of June, and that means I'm very tight on time until then. Would you mind holding off on passing or failing the nomination until around then? I'd be very grateful. Many thanks, Kohlrabi Pickle ( talk) 14:36, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian, I think you may have the Aces High book by Shores and Williams as it is cited on some of the Australian flying ace bios you have worked on? If so, could you have a look for Edgar Kain, and in particular the page number for their claim that he had 16 confirmed victories. I currently have to cite it to Lambert who refers to their work in his book, but would prefer a firsthand ref. Much appreciated, cheers, Zawed ( talk) 10:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Dear Mr Rose, Henry Belafonte 's story of Jesse Washington s killing is a central point in Blackkklansman. I think it is at least worth mentioning a link to imdb. Don t you think? To me, it s my disrt time I ve tried to add sthg. Surely I forgot to add the link myself. Or do you think it is not worth because the plot of the movie is inaccurate? With all respect, if you would explain this maybe I will understand it. Best regards V. Anogis VassiliosA ( talk) 20:10, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I have moved into the final stages with my work on the Meghan Trainor article and am considering re-nominating it at FAC within the next few days. Can you have a look at it and tell me if there's anything I need to be worried about? I just want to be absolutely sure this time. Are there any red flags that it could be quickly failed/archived? Note that it has been successfully peer reviewed this time. Regards.-- N Ø 17:55, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian, hope that you're well. I'm active in the peer review space and we often get review requests for articles wanting a pre FA check that are posted and then linger for some time unanswered.

This is to let you know that the No. 37 Squadron RAAF article has been scheduled as today's featured article for July 15, 2020. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 15, 2020, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:20, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I have recently received some excellent advice for the images in my current FAC, which I have brought up and linked in that discussion. I was wondering if that would qualify as an image review? I hope that I do not come across as impatient, but I've not come across a situation like this before so I was just curious about it. I am very grateful for all the comments left at the FAC so far.

Sometimes I float around and and look in on some of the long time editors, the forefathers of Wikipedia, if I may. One of the quotes on your front page sort of struck a chord. "Thank God I'm still an atheist". One of my favorite quotes comes from Admiral Nelson who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar. His last words were, "Thank God I have done my duty".

Thank you again for the help with the Hey Y'all FAC. Is it just me or does the FAC process seem less active lately? There have been a lot of nominations, but I feel like there has been a considerable decline in reviewers. I do not have any statistics to support this, as it is mostly just a feeling. It also just feels like the FAC's tone has changed in general, but that could just be my more melancholy mood as of late. Anyway, I wanted to ask to see if it was just me?

Hello, Ian,
Yes, I'm back from hiatus.
I have spotted a problem beyond my ability to fix...indeed, to truly understand. I hope you are still an admin, so that you can take care of the problem. The article concerned is Henry Woollett. It has been arbitrarily directed away from the most common form of his name, which is Henry Winslow Woollett. I created the article under this, his most commonly used name. Above the Trenches uses this form on page 389. Balloon Busting Aces agrees, as can be seen at https://www.amazon.com/Balloon-Busting-Aces-World-War-Aircraft/dp/1841768774/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3KS0AEC8XR31Q&dchild=1&keywords=balloon+busting+aces&qid=1597168630&s=books&sprefix=balloon+busting%2Cstripbooks%2C208&sr=1-1#reader_1841768774. Sopwith Camel Aces agrees, as seen at https://www.amazon.com/Sopwith-Camel-Aces-World-Aircraft/dp/1841765341/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=sopwith+camel+aces&qid=1597169051&s=books&sr=1-1#reader_1841765341.
To add to the confusion, the present iteration of the article is rated on the quality scale as Redirect-Class--whatever that is.
So, two requests.
1. Please change article title to Henry Winslow Woollett.
2. Please assess it on the Military Aviation scale.

G'day everyone, voting for the 2020 Wikiproject Military history coordinator tranche is now open. This is a simple approval vote; only "support" votes should be made. Project members should vote for any candidates they support by 23:59 (UTC) on 28 September 2020.

Hi Ian Rose. I know the limit for FA noms is 2 weeks and I have about 3-4 days to go. Can I ask permission to put up a new one? Possible Trading Places which is a relatively smaller article than Groundhog Day. Might be a bit less intensive. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 16:25, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I know I pinged you about this article a while ago, and not hearing back from you could mean you are not interested in helping out, but I am afraid it may mean you ran the copyvio detector on it and found what looks like a serious violation and nixed it because of that. I assure you any copyright violation is a backwards violation. There are now three of them on that one article. The last two are apparently what's called clickbait--if you don't know what that is--I didn't--it's when someone who wants to sell you something posts something they think people will click on so they can then reroute the user to what the seller wants to sell. This last one appeared today and is a 'free download.' I'm afraid to download it for fear of what else it might put on my computer, but I have asked some others who are computer savvy to see if they can find a date of its online posting so I can prove the date they printed on the first page is false. The article was not online in 2010 or the copyright detector would have picked it up back then. I run the detector nearly every day on this article since I found the first backwards violation. Anyway, if you don't have the time or the interest, that's one thing, that's understandable, but please don't let that backwards violation be what puts you off this article. The plagiarism is in the other direction--of me not from me. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 20:14, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Greetings,
I see you have archived this FAC and I can see why. Other than peer review, is there a place where I can get more input on that article? Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 18:14, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I'm not sure if this is a new development, but I've just noticed that the archives of RAAF News are now available via Trove. It's very handy to have this in a searchable format. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 23:25, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

It is with immense pleasure that I pass on the unanimous decision of the members of the WikiProject Military History that as a mark of the great esteem in which they hold you and your judgement you be appointed a Coordinator Emeritus of the Project for as long as you should choose to remain one. Congratulations and many thanks for all that you have done for the Project. Gog the Mild ( talk) 18:05, 29 September 2020 (UTC) |
Hello again! Apologies for yet another random message. I just wanted to say thank you for archiving the Shannen Says FAC. I hope that I did not come across as rude or impatient, and if I did, then I apologize for that. I also want to apologize for my behavior at the Bluey FAC. I have already apologized directly to the nominator, but it was not my place to put up that message. I wanted to reach out to you about both of these things, and I hope you are doing well!

Hi Ian, just wondering about a few of your FAs that have yet to be put up for TFA. Do you have a plan for them? For example, I'd be happy to generate a blurb for Dick Cresswell and nominate him for 23 November (first kill etc) given noms are open for Nov atm. Thoughts?

Hi, and thanks for your work on Wikipedia. In this article you included a quote under the Hurricanes section that includes the "word" exended.

Hi Ian, it looks like you accidently removed a review in your response to Peacemaker here. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 00:27, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Ian, since you often review my sf magazine FACs, I wonder if you could take a look at Imaginative Tales? It's likely to be my next nomination. As it happens Saturn looks like it is close to promotion so Imaginative Tales could well reach FAC before you get a chance to read it. If you do get a chance I think it would be better prepared for having had your copyediting eye run over it. Thanks. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 12:52, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello again. I hope you are having a great 2021 so far. Apologies for this super random message. I was curious about the status of my current FAC since it has received a fair amount of commentary and support as well as image and source reviews. Apologies for being very impatient with this FAC. I am just planning on retiring right after the FAC is completed (regardless of if it is promoted or archived for any reason) so this is my last Wikipedia-related thing prior to doing that.

An editor has posted comments (now here) to my nomination of Love for Sale (Bilal album), that felt disruptive and biased. I was advised to refer this to one of the FA coordinators and see what is the appropriate action, rather than continue dignifying them. isento ( talk) 03:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
I don't think that was enough. This editor is escalating in tone and temperament, and these latest remarks are uncivil and disparaging. Their comments section is bloating into a personal vendetta bordering on genre-warring and not a review. isento ( talk) 15:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

9 supports and 2 purely subjective opposes? Right. Please correct the rationale to reflect there was strong consensus to promote but the co-ords disagreed with the community. The Rambling Man ( Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ian, may I ask you for some guidance? You closed the FAC Arsenal Women 11–1 Bristol City Women and added I should continue the improvements outside FAC. Unfortunately I don't know what to do: there were 2 reviewers who gave support (one of them 15 minutes after you closed it), and one who opposed but without clear instructions for me what to do. It seems he is opposing because of this: "You need to imagine you're explaining to a 7-year-old child and if they don't understand the entire article without having to click away, that's a fail. It's not what I consider an FA should be but sadly the FA co-ords and others have set their stall out that way (within the last two months) so we all should comply with that." I agree with him that setting that standard is wrong. I can see that none of the other FACs are held to this standard at the moment, not even the many football ones. I was hoping to get more reviewers to share their views on this fundamental issue. I'm not sure where to get these other views other than FAC. Do you have a better idea than just bringing this back at FAC in 2 weeks time? Edwininlondon ( talk) 09:16, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

44 was a complete and utter flutter in the wind compared to the 42 scare here in perth - there is more juicy material in the awm archives (and others) about what they were getting up to in perth - however I havent seen any good material that exploits the real world impact in perth of 42 compared to 44 - my favourite item in the awm materials are the detailed how to blow up the freo harbour facilities to render the whole port useless documents, great reading and the great rush to get army camps out of range of the coast - all great fun and local - nothing to do with melbourne and the guys with strange names or medallions on their chests.. cheers JarrahTree 15:15, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Ian, I added the coords of Tito's cave (Op ROESSELSPRUNG) because I visited the battlefield in spring 2004 when I was posted to the Canadian Battlegroup in Zgon (near Kljuc). No coordinates are exact. Drvar was located in our sector, and a mechanized company was lodged just south of downtown. I know where Tito's cave is located - because I was there. My job that day was to drive the Intelligence Officer. Secondly, I am a recently retired Canadian geomatics technician and 16 yrs ago prepared materials in support of the tour. If you have better sources, please contribute otherwise I request you revert my edit. PS - I've met now-LGen Wayne Eyre. Great guy! Terry (aka Maple Leaf Eh) 17:28, 25 May 2021

Hi Ian! I have opened a peer review for Bowie's album Low and was wondering, since you're familiar with Bowie, if you would be able to provide some comments when you get the chance? I'd greatly appreciate it but if not I totally understand. Thanks! – zmbro ( talk) 20:59, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ian. I know you're a Bowie fan, so I wasn't sure if your interest would also extend to a Beatles related article; I've submitted John Lennon's first book, In His Own Write, to be an FA, but is hasn't received much attention.

@ WP:FAC coordinators: - I thought I'd try a sounding board with the coords before posting at WT:FAC, so I don't make a fool out of myself if this is a bad idea. After that spurt of a bunch of drive-by nominations from a new user, I got to thinking about if it would be worthwhile to create a discussion suggesting semi-protection of WP:FAC. It would still allow logged-out editing of the FAC nomination pages themselves, but might cut-down on some of the drive-bys from new users by not allowing them to transclude it. I don't think I've ever seen an IP FAC nom, and the underlying code/wording on the page should be fairly stable and not needing IP adjustments, so there shouldn't be any collateral damage. It might also prevent the rare act of vandalism to the page. Since IP noms never seem to happen, and non-autoconfirmed nominations are so far as I've seen always drive-bys that get closed within 36 hours due to lack of preparation/involvement in page, is this a worthwhile topic to bring up? Hog Farm Talk 17:01, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ian! I wanted to let you know that since I have now, for the most part, completed work on Low (besides a few other touch-ups still to do), my next two projects will be finally finishing up Young Americans and start work on Station to Station. I'll be expanding it in a similar fashion to Never Let Me Down, also brought to GA before I started this project. Using Pegg's 2016 edition will be of good use as that goes into great depth on the 2010 deluxe edition (and I'm sure O'Leary's book will too). I wanted to let you know beforehand so you're aware. I do not mean any animosity whatsoever, I just want to make sure the article is fleshed out in a similar vein that all of his 70s-80s records are now. Hoppe all is well! – zmbro ( talk) 16:14, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ian, please see [4]. Best regards, Graham Beards ( talk) 11:49, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
You must revert yourself. I actively oppose the promotion with justification. You yourself have refused to promote other FACs with eight or nine supports based on lone opposition. This is fundamentally flawed. If you can't be equitable, I suggest you resign from FAC delegation as you clearly aren't being reasonable. I don't want you to do that, but you are clearly not being egalitarian. Sort it out. The Rambling Man ( Keep wearing the mask...) 23:34, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

If FAC is not meant to allow extended feedback or changes, as I was told, then criterion 1e needs to be changed for being misleading. Significant changes in response to feedback can't simultaneously be discouraged but also explicitly allowed. Being so opaque makes the process a waste of time.

I've got some health issues and I'm stepping down. Thanks for all your kindnesses to me over the years, and for doing such an outstanding job at FAC. Nothing that I did would have been possible without you. Best wishes for the future. - Dank ( push to talk) 18:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ian
I hope you're well. I just wanted to check if you're aware of the discussion at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/UEFA_Euro_2020_Final/archive1#Query_for_the_coordinators regarding the possibility of an early promotion there. Of course I'm aware that we can have no expectations as to when a particular candidate is promoted, but obviously it will extremely useful for myself and TRM in the WikiCup if you are able to find a way to giving it the shiny star before the end of tomorrow! It has four prose supports plus sourcing and images, so hopefully good enough although if there's anything else we can do to get it over the line before tomorrow that would be very useful to know from you as well. Cheers and all the best — Amakuru ( talk) 11:12, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Afternoon Ian. Absolutely get the many competing demands but if you’re able, could you bump Ham House up your to-do list. It’s been a tough, two-month long, haul for the nominator and I think they’d appreciate closure. All the best. KJP1 ( talk) 12:59, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the Australian Air Corps article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 26, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 26, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:49, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. -- George Ho ( talk) 00:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
hello, Ian Rose! i had two questions regarding this article and the associated blurb.
dying ( talk) 00:52, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you today for the article, introduced: "Presenting a neglected formation of the Australian military (so neglected it didn't even have an article on WP till recently)... The Australian Air Corps has always been the poorer relation of the Australian Flying Corps of World War I and the Royal Australian Air Force formed in 1921, but between the disbandment of the AFC and the establishment of the RAAF, Australia's military air personnel needed a home, and that was provided by the short-lived AAC. Though always a stop-gap, it turned out to be a pretty successful venture -- rather than simply remain in a holding pattern, its personnel undertook some pioneering flights, one of which has been credited as marking the birth of aviation medicine in Australia. Most importantly, the corps laid the foundations for a permanent Australian air force."! On Australia Day ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:20, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Valentine's Day edition, with spring flowers and plenty of music - You once told me that it's customary that an article's principal editors make decisions about its appearance. Cosima Wagner raises two questions: for how long after they died? ... and should they even be allowed to decide that an article is less accessible, which isn't only appearance? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:36, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2012): "No, surprisingly, not an RAAF flyboy. Fact is, I’ve long observed that while Australian military pilots are, if I say so myself, well served in terms of quality WP bios, as are Australian soldiers thanks to Hawkeye and also Bryce Abraham, the same can’t be said for Royal Australian Navy personnel. So putting my time where my mouth is, this is one of the RAN’s legendary commanders of World War II, who earned the admiration of Admiral Cunningham during the Mediterranean campaign and who, had he not been lost with his cruiser HMAS Perth in the Pacific during the Battle of Sunda Strait, might well have become Australia's pre-eminent naval officer of the post-war period. The submarine HMAS Waller was named in his honour."! - Prayer for Ukraine. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I saw that you wrote many featured articles with links to politics.
I asked this question at the Help Desk but didn't get a proper answer.
Rana Ayyub wrote this in March 2015.
Nun rape and church vandalism: The fringe is now mainstream
Her article ends, stating that Bangladeshis were not responsible. After the arrests of the Bangladeshi accused, who were convicted, there is an editor's note that the article was written before the arrest.
The editor's note was added after the conviction, initially, it was not there.
Contrary to what she wrote, actually, a Bangladeshi was convicted not locals. That was the reason, why the editor had to leave a note at the end of the article, after the conviction of real rapists.
She promoted her article twice through her Twitter account and did not delete or gave any updates, in spite of the court verdict.

G'day mate,
As can be seen, my initial attempt at a solo FAC is being closed in a welter of confusion. I will retire to lick my wounds a bit, wade in the swamp of copyright baffle-gab, flog thru the MS one more time, and otherwise educate myself in the ways of the FAC process.

Hello,
Noticed you reverted my changes to the page on Werner Voss, I get the issue with the date. I suppose that writing "2 April, Year" is the standard on Wikipedia then? Personally I feel that more often than not "April 2nd, Year" for example looks better, but if it isn't the formatting used then I won't change it going forward.
I did however have a question regarding what you called "good-faith changes", what exactly do you mean?
As noted in the text I added after the changes I made, it was done to make it flow better. I don't think I jumped to any conclusions or added information that wasn't already present in the text (but written in a way that made it clunky). If that's what you mean.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can give me, want to improve as a contributor and not make mistakes moving forward.

Hi Ian, thanks for the promotion. Re upper cases for battle of XXX. I have possibly been inconsistent, or - possibly more likely - others may have made "helpful" edits, but it has been pretty well established that the sources use the lower case in these situations. And definitely established for Punic War sources. See this debate, where I accept this, with much flabbering of ghast, towards the end. So, unless you shout otherwise, I'll go through Ticinus changing Battle to battle. (No, I don't understand it either.) Cheers. Gog the Mild ( talk) 15:18, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Since your 11:03, 22 October 2022 edit the coloured photo with caption of the RAAF Aermacchi MB-326 in the 'infobox' on right no longer appears in the article.
It's removal was not mentioned in the revision so if the photo was/is not in breach of a Wiki protocol is it possible for you to re-instate it in the info box or alternatively, immediately below or adjacent to it? (Chronologically it fits immediately above the last photo.) Shellac41 ( talk) 02:58, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I'm stepping back from The Signpost for a bit. Still willing to do The Bugle, but it doesn't have the same overlap as it used to, so I might need a little prodding.
Long story short... The Signpost isn't malicious, but it's incompetent. They lost multiple articles because they decided to reset their contributions page three days before publication. They published something I repeatedly marked as a draft to be postponed, basically ruining my attempts to get image donations. I was literally begging for help for weeks with September's featured content on the talk page, and got no reply until the day before publication, at which point I was completely burned out. They said they wanted to interview me when I hit 600 featured pictures, and then, as I approached that number, decided not to, apparently.
It's killed my enthusiasm for doing anything with them, made all the worse by the fact I was doing three to five of the articles every issue for the last few months.
They don't appreciate their contributors, the readership is tiny, and... well, it's really hard to get enthusiasm for continuing with them after all that. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 00:39, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ian, while following up on an interesting note that No. 83 Wing was known as Army Co-Operation Wing at some stage after the war, I found some stories in Trove from 1946 that used generic titles for the RAAF's wings at the time (e.g. [6]). Have you seen this elsewhere? It might just be the journalists getting confused about RAAF terminology, but it's possible that the RAAF was using generic titles at this time while deciding which wing numbers to use. The re designation of No. 12 Squadron to the more distinguished No. 1 Squadron and No. 21 Squadron to No. 2 Squadron occurred at around this time which suggests that the RAAF was settling on which names to retain. All the sheets in the No. 83 Wing unit history sheets are marked as 'No. 83 Wing', but the copy in the NAA looks to be a clean copy typed up in one sitting, presumably as part of the process of disbanding the unit. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 10:37, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

If there's no MILHIST featured articles promoted before the end of the month - and you of all people will know if there are - and likewise featured lists, though the only ones actually nominated that are at all related seem to be the pretty tangental List of prime ministers of Australia and Timeline of the impeachment of Andrew Johnson). So probably not much more to do. I looked ahead in the FPC queue and unless Gurney gets delayed in promotion, then FPs are done, and worst case scenario we report a little early.

...for your tweaks chez Klemperer. Almost all are improvements, methinks. Is the topic of particular interest to you? I do hope so.

Hello, I went to find suitable citations for Professor Farquharson's rescue of Tubby the dog on the Tacoma Narrows bridge, only to find that that was Frederick Burt Farquharson and not Ray. That's my bad, the footage of the collapse simply refers to him as "Prof Farquharson" and doesn't clarify his first or nmiddle name so I thought the two were the same.

Hi Ian, I'm going to be out of town until Monday. I've just written the for the editors section and the book reviews and A-class articles should be done, so I think that this will be good to go when the featured content is finalised. I hope that you have a nice break over Easter. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 11:01, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ian Rose! I am here to let you (as well as the other FAC coordinators on their talk pages) know that User:P-Makoto and I intend to nominate the Joseph Smith article for Featured Article status within the next few weeks. After spending some time lurking at WP:FA and WP:FAC though, I notice that this article is lengthier and more complex than most of the articles that are nominated. I think the length is justified: Smith was and remains a very complex and controversial figure. And of course, just being complex and controversial with a long article doesn't necessarily disqualify a topic from FA status (for example, see Jesus).
That said, I'm wondering if you have any specific thoughts, questions, or comments before we jump into things? I think the length and complexity of the material has turned off some reviewers from doing a deep dive into it in the past. For example, a 2013 PR request failed to attract a single reviewer or even a comment. Is there anything you recommend to offset this a little bit?
Thanks in advance, and cheers! Trevdna ( talk) 04:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I'd say that's all the articles one would consider inclusion of - Frances Cleveland did a bunch of work preparing the U.S. For WWI, so she probably counts, rest are pretty standard subjects, though with slight doubt about Menenre, an Egyptian pharoah without a huge amount of discussions of his military work, and the somewhat-poorly-documented (in remaining texts) Tiberius III.
I'll see if I can't make the descriptions more Bugle-y and less doggerel soon. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.4% of all FPs. 00:17, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ian, I was thinking of nominating Gordon Steege for TFA on Sep 1, the anniversary of his death. Normally I would try to nominate biographies on their birthdays, but Steege was born on Oct 31 which is a tough day to schedule. There doesn't seem to be anything majorly significant about Steege's death (it wasn't in combat, he didn't receive an award for the events that caused his death, etc.) but is there was another day that would better suit Steege's appearance on TFA (commemoration of Australian servicemen, or another occasion that I do not know about?)

I see that 1 January 1901 is celebrated as a founding day for the Commonwealth of Australia. Is there any particular controversy associated with this day? If we ran, say Koala or Canberra on that day, would Australians be likely to think of that as an obvious nod to Australia's founding day? - Dank ( push to talk) 15:58, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
@ Ian Rose, I'm working on January TFAs now. Re: Koala, I'll run that on 1 January unless you or someone else objects. (Jerry, the FAC co-nominator, is fine with it.) Agreed that it would be nice if Federation of Australia shows up on 1 January at WP:OTD, but it's currently listed in the "Ineligible" section of Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/January 1); something to do with the references. - Dank ( push to talk) 18:56, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you today for Frank Bladin, introduced (in 2011): "Another of my older RAAF bios that passed GAN and MilHist ACR but which I felt just needed a little more work before nominating for FAC.

This too shall pass. - Ten years ago on 28 August, I heard a symphony, with a heavy heart because of the pending decision in WP:ARBINFOBOX, and not worried about my future here but Andy's. - It passed, and I could write the DYK about calling to dance, not battle, and Andy could write the DYK mentioning about peace and reconciliation, - look. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 17:17, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ian, as I think you've seen I've just added a photo I took today of Spence's grave to the article on him. The cemetery has an interesting layout, with sections for each country (quite large in Australia's case) as well as a combined section at the top of the hill where each country has a group of about a dozen graves below a national flag. Spence is in the combined section, which I presume was done as an honour. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 12:08, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
I have added the second place finish in the contest for simongraham to the November Bugle contest item draft. I also realize that I had not recognized Zawed for second place in September. I added a sentence giving him belated recognition for that in the November draft. I added the barnstar to his talk page. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Otherwise, I may have remained oblivious to the omission. I am now up to speed on the two monthly awards. Donner60 ( talk) 04:22, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced: Donald (in 2017): "Time for another RAAF chief, this one being the second and last RAF officer to run the service. That caused resentment, but it soon dissipated. Hardman had a good pedigree: fighter ace in World War I, foreign postings between the wars, and group command in World War II. He also seems to have been a likeable bloke, as well as an imaginative organiser. His main claim to fame is that he transformed the Air Force from its WWII-era geographically based command-and-control system into a functional command system, which essentially exists today. The article's post-military section is a bit thin, but I think he just lived a quiet life." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2019) as "another Royal Australian Air Force wing commander who fought in the Korean War and seemed destined for the top but died too soon. This bio was on my list for some time, the impetus to complete it being 1960s images becoming available to use, and my discovery of a detailed article on the circumstances of the subject's death. A New Zealand-born RAAF pilot, Drummond survived close calls in Korea and in Vietnam only to die mysteriously in a training exercise off the Australian coast – or perhaps not so mysteriously; the evidence from the court of inquiry may offer a cautionary tale for high achievers everywhere..."! - If you click on places: images of a flock of sheep that I met by chance on the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104 -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello User:Ian Rose
I have observed your recent peer review on the webpage bio of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. A series of subsequent edits made by User:Matarisvan have also been observed, in particular his decision to remove the subsections of his promotion dates and his military decorations. Kindly remember, sir, that the subject person is from the military - and while yes, according to a comment of yours in the peer review, the awards he received may be mentioned in the webpage's body, but in an overall context - he is a military officer, and thus his insignia must be displayed.
For reference, you can look at the webpages of fellow field marshals, like K. M Cariappa (India), Sarath Fonseka (Sri Lanka), Ayub Khan (Pakistan), Igor Sergeyev (Russia) - who all have separate, distinct mentions of their insignia. Please, do urge User:Matarisvan have to stop removing the aforementioned subsections.
Yours. Silver Pavilion ( talk) 14:08, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

... and today Bobby Gibbes, saying "I've made use of a good many sources to try and tell Gibbes' story in context, and to get behind the usual facade of the fearless fighter pilot and crack shot, neither of which he claimed to be. Still, "irrepressible" is the word I'd use to describe him: a dual ace who flew combat in a cast when he broke his ankle; went beyond the call of duty to rescue one of his mates who crashed in the desert; participated in the "Morotai Mutiny" of 1945; pioneered air transport in New Guinea; and built and flew his own light plane in his 60s and 70s."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:04, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
Good afternoon Ian. Apologies if this is not the correct place for this request. My FA nom Siege of Berwick (1333) has five supports, an image review and a placeholder for the source review which has been there for two weeks. I have reminded the placeholding editor, but I wondered if I might have permission to nominate a further FA while we wait for the source review? Thanks.

Hi Ian. I have re-nominated this and hope that is acceptable by the established process. The article's main authors have reviewed it very thoroughly and addressed every criticism we could find. It has been at least two weeks and I have no other nominations pending. Let me know if there are any concerns. Thank you for all your good work. Jehochman Talk 02:33, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello again. I was wondering if you could look at my current FAC. It has only been up for ten days, but it has received four support votes, an image review, and a source review. Since it has not been up that long (not even two weeks), I am not certain that is ready for promotion, but I was just wondering your thoughts on its status? Thank you in advance! Aoba47 ( talk) 23:10, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
Apologies again for the message, but I was just curious about the status of the FAC. It has been a little over a week since my last message, and one additional editor supported the nomination. Aoba47 ( talk) 19:27, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ian, just wondering if you had anything else re: your review? Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 01:48, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ian, noticing that you have an interest in first wave punk, have put " Cut the Crap" up for PR. Its a strange addition to their cannon that brings up a lot of heated emotions, with that in mind the PR is framed as a "safe space" were you can eff, blind, and vent about mid 80s music and where did it all go wrong to your hearts content. You input anyhow would be valued. Ceoil ( talk) 12:24, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Not sure if there is a good way to ask FAC coordinators a question, so asking you individually. Will Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Roger B. Chaffee/archive1 require a spot check? All my other FACs I co-nominated with Hawkeye, so this is my first solo-nom FAC. Kees08 (Talk) 04:39, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
@ WP:FAC coordinators: I'm going to be taking almost a month off from editing to work on a project that I hope will benefit new editors. I want to be available for a week after I post any proposed blurbs, so the timing is a little tight. Would it be okay if I post my suggested blurbs (currently in User:Dank/Sandbox/5) to FAC talk pages before the articles get promoted? I'll add a disclaimer, of course, that I'm not trying to predict when or if articles will get promoted. (Just between us, I don't even think about doing blurbs until I see two solid supports.) I'm just trying to get people to look at the blurbs before I leave. It's fine to say "no", of course, if you have concerns about the blurb review process interfering in any way with the FAC process. - Dank ( push to talk) 15:53, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
This is to let you know that the Joe Hewitt (RAAF officer) article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 13, 2019. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 13, 2019, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

...so, ping! Maury Markowitz ( talk) 18:13, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
I want to start this off by saying it does not really bother me, so only take action if it bothers you :). I presume you place FAs into the various sections on Wikipedia:Featured_articles (if not please point me in the right direction). Warfare biographies has Alan Shepard and John Glenn, while Neil Armstrong is under Physics and astronomy biographies. With Aldrin, Collins, and Chaffee coming up, as well as Dave Scott I think, it could be useful to make the categorization consistent. GA puts them under Physics and astronomy (to be fair, I might have made that subcategory). Anyways, it does not bother me if they are not grouped together on the FA page, but I thought maybe it would bother someone, so just wanted to bring it up. Kees08 (Talk) 00:49, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I had a question about an FLC of mine which has been open for 5 weeks with 4 support votes and no opposition. Can it be promoted as I’d like to devote my attention to other projects.— N Ø 10:01, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello again! I hope you are doing well. My current FAC has attracted a substantial amount of commentary, and I was wondering if I would be allowed to post a second FAC. I am on the fence on whether or not I would do so as there is something nice after taking an FAC one at a time and I am honestly not in a rush for the current one. I am grateful for the editors that took the time to comment on it and help to improve it as that particular article has gotten immensely better since the FAC started. I was just curious if it was an option? Either way, have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 ( talk) 22:14, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ian, In Hewitt's article, prose says Keith while References say co-author with Alan Stephens is Jeff. (Ditto on Allan Walters). I can see it's Jeff here but are they 2 different aviation writers or same fellow using both names? JennyOz ( talk) 06:20, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ian, the only FP promoted in April which might be in scope for The Bugle is Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Brest, 1700. It doesn't seem to be included in any military-related articles, but does pretty clearly show that the town was fully enclosed by fortifications. I think that this probably puts it in-scope, but what do you think? Nick-D ( talk) 00:29, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ian. I wonder if I could query the status of my FAC nom for Battle of Crécy. It has had four supports and image and source reviews for two weeks, and four days ago picked up a fifth support.

I've roughed in the FPs. There's a ten-day lead time on FPs, so you can usually tell the list of what's going to pass before the end of the month. The only one in the slightest bit of doubt is File:Maréchal_Canrobert_by_Nadar.jpg, which only has four supports so far, but almost certainly will get five in time, as it's so new.
Now, I'm trying to write a little more about each person this month, but I'd like you to go in and trim out anyone you don't think relevant before I really get into it. I think the justifications are all there, it's down to things like, "Is a major supporter of Alfred Dreyfus who was otherwise minimally involved in MILHIST suitable? What about someone who painted military history?
You get the idea. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 07:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the prequel to that of Clare Stevenson, the long-serving director of the Women's Auxiliary Australian Air Force (WAAAF), the first and ultimately largest women's military service in wartime Australia. Mary Bell led the WAAAF for the first three months of its existence but, more importantly, had played a significant role agitating for its establishment. One can imagine her reaction upon being passed over for permanent command of her baby in favour of corporate executive Stevenson, but Bell was persuaded to put aside her disappointment and ended up serving in the WAAAF for most of the war, if in a minor capacity."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:04, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Anyway, if you are keen and you have some time, would you mind taking a look at the article? Happy for you to adjust whatever you see fit. All the best. Regards, AustralianRupert ( talk) 09:49, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ian, I hope all is well. Would it be OK if I added another nom? I have had this one on the go for over three weeks, with five supports and clear image and source reviews. No problems with waiting a bit, but just thought I'd ask. Cheers - SchroCat ( talk) 19:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
Hi Ian, This story notes that several F-35s with 2OCU markings recently arrived in Australia. It doesn't say that the unit is now formally operating them - presumably this will happen sometime next year(?).

The Wikipedia article on Arthur W. Vanaman and the Wikipedia article on Jonathan M. Wainwright each identify the subject of their article as the highest ranking American POW of WWII. I believe the Wainwright held the higher rank of the two, but I'm reluctant to go in and change the Vanaman article because maybe there is some nuance I'm not aware of. Either way, someone who knows should fix whichever article is incorrect. ( User:Dog-519) —Preceding undated comment added 03:56, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for the additional message. I was wondering what would be the best course of action for the "Drake Would Love Me" FAC?

Ian, you suggested that I withdrew my FAC nomination for Le Gros the Younger. I'm happy to do so and work on the language which, you are quite right, got the better of me. I'd like to withdraw but have no idea how. Just simply delete the section?
As a suggestion: you might want to put a little paragraph of how to withdraw in the explanatory section of the FAC page. I'm sure others are equally unsure how to proceed. Gerbis ( talk) 08:39, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for leaving another message on your talk page. I have a quick question about my current FAC. Although the nomination has been up for only a little over two weeks, I think it is time to archive it since it has not received any commentary and it is already being buried under a list of far more active FACs.
I do not mean this in a negative or bitter way as I am glad that more editors are putting up nominations and certain topics attract editors more than others. I just realistically do not see this getting any attention in the future. Rather than pinging the FAC coordinators on the FAC itself, I wanted to get your opinion about it. Do you think archiving it would be appropriate? I can always try again in the future. Thank you in advance! Aoba47 ( talk) 03:19, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

I hope that you are coping well with the various virus-related restrictions.

Gog the Mild ( talk) 11:26, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hey Ian. I saw you archived the FAC for Open Here, which makes sense because unfortunately there just wasn't anybody reviewing it. But I saw you said "I appreciate you've tried to drum up some interest in this review, and of could it's not a great time for that anyway..." Forgive me if I'm just slow on the uptake here, lol, but what did you mean by "it's not a great time for that anyway"? Do you mean FAC isn't particularly active right now? Because of the pandemic, or some other reason? I only ask because I have other articles I'd potentially nominate, but if it's a bad time and they're just going to end up getting ignored like Open Here did, I'd perhaps wait... — Hunter Kahn 14:04, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Pinging @ WP:FAC coordinators: since I just nominated a FAC I'm looking to do some reviews. I picked off a couple that looked like they needed another look, but there's nothing in the urgents list at the moment. Anything you want looked at? Otherwise I'll start at the bottom and look for ones that seem under-reviewed. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 12:38, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, and I hope you are well. Might I ask why you reverted my edit
here? I was under the impression that changing [[Category:Stub-Class military history articles|51,000+]]
to [[:Category:Stub-Class military history articles|51,000+]]
took the category away from the page and presented it as a link... You'll note the same code was added by

Hi there, Ian Rose , good seeing you, I would really appreciate if you took note of (not necessarily responding) this discussion I started on the general FAC talk page. It's part a complaint and part a summary of the (frustrating; pardon my use of the word) FAC discussion surrounding just one word (in a sentence about her parents' religion which I was reluctant to add in the first place but when I did upon the user's demand, I was asked to remove parts of what appears in the source), and which led to this one oppose from a user who did not even read the article past this one sentence. I really didn't expect to have to deal with one line in the background section when the article covers almost five decades of film work. I'm not sure how much you closing coordinators read through chunks of text and that's why I started this discussion and am letting you know now. Shahid • Talk2me 05:48, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian, I have an article at FAC at the moment here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Robert Goff, Baron Goff of Chieveley/archive1. I've received some helpful critiques and I'm working on them. I unfortunately have exams until the 19th of June, and that means I'm very tight on time until then. Would you mind holding off on passing or failing the nomination until around then? I'd be very grateful. Many thanks, Kohlrabi Pickle ( talk) 14:36, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian, I think you may have the Aces High book by Shores and Williams as it is cited on some of the Australian flying ace bios you have worked on? If so, could you have a look for Edgar Kain, and in particular the page number for their claim that he had 16 confirmed victories. I currently have to cite it to Lambert who refers to their work in his book, but would prefer a firsthand ref. Much appreciated, cheers, Zawed ( talk) 10:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Dear Mr Rose, Henry Belafonte 's story of Jesse Washington s killing is a central point in Blackkklansman. I think it is at least worth mentioning a link to imdb. Don t you think? To me, it s my disrt time I ve tried to add sthg. Surely I forgot to add the link myself. Or do you think it is not worth because the plot of the movie is inaccurate? With all respect, if you would explain this maybe I will understand it. Best regards V. Anogis VassiliosA ( talk) 20:10, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I have moved into the final stages with my work on the Meghan Trainor article and am considering re-nominating it at FAC within the next few days. Can you have a look at it and tell me if there's anything I need to be worried about? I just want to be absolutely sure this time. Are there any red flags that it could be quickly failed/archived? Note that it has been successfully peer reviewed this time. Regards.-- N Ø 17:55, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ian, hope that you're well. I'm active in the peer review space and we often get review requests for articles wanting a pre FA check that are posted and then linger for some time unanswered.

This is to let you know that the No. 37 Squadron RAAF article has been scheduled as today's featured article for July 15, 2020. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 15, 2020, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:20, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I have recently received some excellent advice for the images in my current FAC, which I have brought up and linked in that discussion. I was wondering if that would qualify as an image review? I hope that I do not come across as impatient, but I've not come across a situation like this before so I was just curious about it. I am very grateful for all the comments left at the FAC so far.

Sometimes I float around and and look in on some of the long time editors, the forefathers of Wikipedia, if I may. One of the quotes on your front page sort of struck a chord. "Thank God I'm still an atheist". One of my favorite quotes comes from Admiral Nelson who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar. His last words were, "Thank God I have done my duty".

Thank you again for the help with the Hey Y'all FAC. Is it just me or does the FAC process seem less active lately? There have been a lot of nominations, but I feel like there has been a considerable decline in reviewers. I do not have any statistics to support this, as it is mostly just a feeling. It also just feels like the FAC's tone has changed in general, but that could just be my more melancholy mood as of late. Anyway, I wanted to ask to see if it was just me?

Hello, Ian,
Yes, I'm back from hiatus.
I have spotted a problem beyond my ability to fix...indeed, to truly understand. I hope you are still an admin, so that you can take care of the problem. The article concerned is Henry Woollett. It has been arbitrarily directed away from the most common form of his name, which is Henry Winslow Woollett. I created the article under this, his most commonly used name. Above the Trenches uses this form on page 389. Balloon Busting Aces agrees, as can be seen at https://www.amazon.com/Balloon-Busting-Aces-World-War-Aircraft/dp/1841768774/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3KS0AEC8XR31Q&dchild=1&keywords=balloon+busting+aces&qid=1597168630&s=books&sprefix=balloon+busting%2Cstripbooks%2C208&sr=1-1#reader_1841768774. Sopwith Camel Aces agrees, as seen at https://www.amazon.com/Sopwith-Camel-Aces-World-Aircraft/dp/1841765341/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=sopwith+camel+aces&qid=1597169051&s=books&sr=1-1#reader_1841765341.
To add to the confusion, the present iteration of the article is rated on the quality scale as Redirect-Class--whatever that is.
So, two requests.
1. Please change article title to Henry Winslow Woollett.
2. Please assess it on the Military Aviation scale.

Hi Ian Rose. I know the limit for FA noms is 2 weeks and I have about 3-4 days to go. Can I ask permission to put up a new one? Possible Trading Places which is a relatively smaller article than Groundhog Day. Might be a bit less intensive. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 16:25, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I know I pinged you about this article a while ago, and not hearing back from you could mean you are not interested in helping out, but I am afraid it may mean you ran the copyvio detector on it and found what looks like a serious violation and nixed it because of that. I assure you any copyright violation is a backwards violation. There are now three of them on that one article. The last two are apparently what's called clickbait--if you don't know what that is--I didn't--it's when someone who wants to sell you something posts something they think people will click on so they can then reroute the user to what the seller wants to sell. This last one appeared today and is a 'free download.' I'm afraid to download it for fear of what else it might put on my computer, but I have asked some others who are computer savvy to see if they can find a date of its online posting so I can prove the date they printed on the first page is false. The article was not online in 2010 or the copyright detector would have picked it up back then. I run the detector nearly every day on this article since I found the first backwards violation. Anyway, if you don't have the time or the interest, that's one thing, that's understandable, but please don't let that backwards violation be what puts you off this article. The plagiarism is in the other direction--of me not from me. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 20:14, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Greetings,
I see you have archived this FAC and I can see why. Other than peer review, is there a place where I can get more input on that article? Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 18:14, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
Hi Ian, I'm not sure if this is a new development, but I've just noticed that the archives of RAAF News are now available via Trove. It's very handy to have this in a searchable format. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 23:25, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

It is with immense pleasure that I pass on the unanimous decision of the members of the WikiProject Military History that as a mark of the great esteem in which they hold you and your judgement you be appointed a Coordinator Emeritus of the Project for as long as you should choose to remain one.

Hello again! Apologies for yet another random message. I just wanted to say thank you for archiving the Shannen Says FAC. I hope that I did not come across as rude or impatient, and if I did, then I apologize for that. I also want to apologize for my behavior at the Bluey FAC. I have already apologized directly to the nominator, but it was not my place to put up that message. I wanted to reach out to you about both of these things, and I hope you are doing well!

Hi Ian, just wondering about a few of your FAs that have yet to be put up for TFA. Do you have a plan for them? For example, I'd be happy to generate a blurb for Dick Cresswell and nominate him for 23 November (first kill etc) given noms are open for Nov atm. Thoughts?

Ian, since you often review my sf magazine FACs, I wonder if you could take a look at Imaginative Tales? It's likely to be my next nomination. As it happens Saturn looks like it is close to promotion so Imaginative Tales could well reach FAC before you get a chance to read it. If you do get a chance I think it would be better prepared for having had your copyediting eye run over it. Thanks. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 12:52, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

An editor has posted comments (now here) to my nomination of Love for Sale (Bilal album), that felt disruptive and biased. I was advised to refer this to one of the FA coordinators and see what is the appropriate action, rather than continue dignifying them. isento ( talk) 03:31, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
I don't think that was enough. This editor is escalating in tone and temperament, and these latest remarks are uncivil and disparaging. Their comments section is bloating into a personal vendetta bordering on genre-warring and not a review. isento ( talk) 15:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ian, may I ask you for some guidance? You closed the FAC Arsenal Women 11–1 Bristol City Women and added I should continue the improvements outside FAC. Unfortunately I don't know what to do: there were 2 reviewers who gave support (one of them 15 minutes after you closed it), and one who opposed but without clear instructions for me what to do. It seems he is opposing because of this: "You need to imagine you're explaining to a 7-year-old child and if they don't understand the entire article without having to click away, that's a fail. It's not what I consider an FA should be but sadly the FA co-ords and others have set their stall out that way (within the last two months) so we all should comply with that." I agree with him that setting that standard is wrong. I can see that none of the other FACs are held to this standard at the moment, not even the many football ones. I was hoping to get more reviewers to share their views on this fundamental issue. I'm not sure where to get these other views other than FAC. Do you have a better idea than just bringing this back at FAC in 2 weeks time? Edwininlondon ( talk) 09:16, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

44 was a complete and utter flutter in the wind compared to the 42 scare here in perth - there is more juicy material in the awm archives (and others) about what they were getting up to in perth - however I havent seen any good material that exploits the real world impact in perth of 42 compared to 44 - my favourite item in the awm materials are the detailed how to blow up the freo harbour facilities to render the whole port useless documents, great reading and the great rush to get army camps out of range of the coast - all great fun and local - nothing to do with melbourne and the guys with strange names or medallions on their chests.. cheers JarrahTree 15:15, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Ian, I added the coords of Tito's cave (Op ROESSELSPRUNG) because I visited the battlefield in spring 2004 when I was posted to the Canadian Battlegroup in Zgon (near Kljuc). No coordinates are exact. Drvar was located in our sector, and a mechanized company was lodged just south of downtown. I know where Tito's cave is located - because I was there. My job that day was to drive the Intelligence Officer. Secondly, I am a recently retired Canadian geomatics technician and 16 yrs ago prepared materials in support of the tour. If you have better sources, please contribute otherwise I request you revert my edit. PS - I've met now-LGen Wayne Eyre. Great guy! Terry (aka Maple Leaf Eh) 17:28, 25 May 2021

@ WP:FAC coordinators: - I thought I'd try a sounding board with the coords before posting at WT:FAC, so I don't make a fool out of myself if this is a bad idea. After that spurt of a bunch of drive-by nominations from a new user, I got to thinking about if it would be worthwhile to create a discussion suggesting semi-protection of WP:FAC. It would still allow logged-out editing of the FAC nomination pages themselves, but might cut-down on some of the drive-bys from new users by not allowing them to transclude it. I don't think I've ever seen an IP FAC nom, and the underlying code/wording on the page should be fairly stable and not needing IP adjustments, so there shouldn't be any collateral damage. It might also prevent the rare act of vandalism to the page. Since IP noms never seem to happen, and non-autoconfirmed nominations are so far as I've seen always drive-bys that get closed within 36 hours due to lack of preparation/involvement in page, is this a worthwhile topic to bring up?

Hi Ian! I wanted to let you know that since I have now, for the most part, completed work on Low (besides a few other touch-ups still to do), my next two projects will be finally finishing up Young Americans and start work on Station to Station. I'll be expanding it in a similar fashion to Never Let Me Down, also brought to GA before I started this project. Using Pegg's 2016 edition will be of good use as that goes into great depth on the 2010 deluxe edition (and I'm sure O'Leary's book will too). I wanted to let you know beforehand so you're aware. I do not mean any animosity whatsoever, I just want to make sure the article is fleshed out in a similar vein that all of his 70s-80s records are now.

You must revert yourself. I actively oppose the promotion with justification. You yourself have refused to promote other FACs with eight or nine supports based on lone opposition. This is fundamentally flawed. If you can't be equitable, I suggest you resign from FAC delegation as you clearly aren't being reasonable. I don't want you to do that, but you are clearly not being egalitarian. Sort it out. The Rambling Man ( Keep wearing the mask...) 23:34, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

If FAC is not meant to allow extended feedback or changes, as I was told, then criterion 1e needs to be changed for being misleading. Significant changes in response to feedback can't simultaneously be discouraged but also explicitly allowed. Being so opaque makes the process a waste of time. Urve ( talk) 05:35, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
I've got some health issues and I'm stepping down. Thanks for all your kindnesses to me over the years, and for doing such an outstanding job at FAC. Nothing that I did would have been possible without you. Best wishes for the future. - Dank ( push to talk) 18:12, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi Ian
I hope you're well. I just wanted to check if you're aware of the discussion at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/UEFA_Euro_2020_Final/archive1#Query_for_the_coordinators regarding the possibility of an early promotion there. Of course I'm aware that we can have no expectations as to when a particular candidate is promoted, but obviously it will extremely useful for myself and TRM in the WikiCup if you are able to find a way to giving it the shiny star before the end of tomorrow! It has four prose supports plus sourcing and images, so hopefully good enough although if there's anything else we can do to get it over the line before tomorrow that would be very useful to know from you as well. Cheers and all the best — Amakuru ( talk) 11:12, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Afternoon Ian. Absolutely get the many competing demands but if you’re able, could you bump Ham House up your to-do list. It’s been a tough, two-month long, haul for the nominator and I think they’d appreciate closure. All the best. KJP1 ( talk) 12:59, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the Australian Air Corps article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 26, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 26, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:49, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. -- George Ho ( talk) 00:04, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
hello, Ian Rose! i had two questions regarding this article and the associated blurb.
dying ( talk) 00:52, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you today for the article, introduced: "Presenting a neglected formation of the Australian military (so neglected it didn't even have an article on WP till recently)... The Australian Air Corps has always been the poorer relation of the Australian Flying Corps of World War I and the Royal Australian Air Force formed in 1921, but between the disbandment of the AFC and the establishment of the RAAF, Australia's military air personnel needed a home, and that was provided by the short-lived AAC. Though always a stop-gap, it turned out to be a pretty successful venture -- rather than simply remain in a holding pattern, its personnel undertook some pioneering flights, one of which has been credited as marking the birth of aviation medicine in Australia. Most importantly, the corps laid the foundations for a permanent Australian air force."! On Australia Day ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:20, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Valentine's Day edition, with spring flowers and plenty of music - You once told me that it's customary that an article's principal editors make decisions about its appearance. Cosima Wagner raises two questions: for how long after they died? ... and should they even be allowed to decide that an article is less accessible, which isn't only appearance? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 19:36, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2012): "No, surprisingly, not an RAAF flyboy. Fact is, I’ve long observed that while Australian military pilots are, if I say so myself, well served in terms of quality WP bios, as are Australian soldiers thanks to Hawkeye and also Bryce Abraham, the same can’t be said for Royal Australian Navy personnel. So putting my time where my mouth is, this is one of the RAN’s legendary commanders of World War II, who earned the admiration of Admiral Cunningham during the Mediterranean campaign and who, had he not been lost with his cruiser HMAS Perth in the Pacific during the Battle of Sunda Strait, might well have become Australia's pre-eminent naval officer of the post-war period. The submarine HMAS Waller was named in his honour."! - Prayer for Ukraine. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:53, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

I saw that you wrote many featured articles with links to politics.
I asked this question at the Help Desk but didn't get a proper answer.
Rana Ayyub wrote this in March 2015.
Nun rape and church vandalism: The fringe is now mainstream
Her article ends, stating that Bangladeshis were not responsible. After the arrests of the Bangladeshi accused, who were convicted, there is an editor's note that the article was written before the arrest.
The editor's note was added after the conviction, initially, it was not there.
Contrary to what she wrote, actually, a Bangladeshi was convicted not locals. That was the reason, why the editor had to leave a note at the end of the article, after the conviction of real rapists.
She promoted her article twice through her Twitter account and did not delete or gave any updates, in spite of the court verdict.

G'day mate,
As can be seen, my initial attempt at a solo FAC is being closed in a welter of confusion. I will retire to lick my wounds a bit, wade in the swamp of copyright baffle-gab, flog thru the MS one more time, and otherwise educate myself in the ways of the FAC process.

Hello,
Noticed you reverted my changes to the page on Werner Voss, I get the issue with the date. I suppose that writing "2 April, Year" is the standard on Wikipedia then? Personally I feel that more often than not "April 2nd, Year" for example looks better, but if it isn't the formatting used then I won't change it going forward.
I did however have a question regarding what you called "good-faith changes", what exactly do you mean?
As noted in the text I added after the changes I made, it was done to make it flow better. I don't think I jumped to any conclusions or added information that wasn't already present in the text (but written in a way that made it clunky). If that's what you mean.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can give me, want to improve as a contributor and not make mistakes moving forward.

Hi Ian, thanks for the promotion. Re upper cases for battle of XXX. I have possibly been inconsistent, or - possibly more likely - others may have made "helpful" edits, but it has been pretty well established that the sources use the lower case in these situations. And definitely established for Punic War sources. See this debate, where I accept this, with much flabbering of ghast, towards the end. So, unless you shout otherwise, I'll go through Ticinus changing Battle to battle. (No, I don't understand it either.) Cheers. Gog the Mild ( talk) 15:18, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Since your 11:03, 22 October 2022 edit the coloured photo with caption of the RAAF Aermacchi MB-326 in the 'infobox' on right no longer appears in the article.
It's removal was not mentioned in the revision so if the photo was/is not in breach of a Wiki protocol is it possible for you to re-instate it in the info box or alternatively, immediately below or adjacent to it? (Chronologically it fits immediately above the last photo.) Shellac41 ( talk) 02:58, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I'm stepping back from The Signpost for a bit. Still willing to do The Bugle, but it doesn't have the same overlap as it used to, so I might need a little prodding.
Long story short... The Signpost isn't malicious, but it's incompetent. They lost multiple articles because they decided to reset their contributions page three days before publication. They published something I repeatedly marked as a draft to be postponed, basically ruining my attempts to get image donations. I was literally begging for help for weeks with September's featured content on the talk page, and got no reply until the day before publication, at which point I was completely burned out. They said they wanted to interview me when I hit 600 featured pictures, and then, as I approached that number, decided not to, apparently.
It's killed my enthusiasm for doing anything with them, made all the worse by the fact I was doing three to five of the articles every issue for the last few months.
They don't appreciate their contributors, the readership is tiny, and... well, it's really hard to get enthusiasm for continuing with them after all that. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 8.1% of all FPs 00:39, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ian, while following up on an interesting note that No. 83 Wing was known as Army Co-Operation Wing at some stage after the war, I found some stories in Trove from 1946 that used generic titles for the RAAF's wings at the time (e.g. [6]). Have you seen this elsewhere? It might just be the journalists getting confused about RAAF terminology, but it's possible that the RAAF was using generic titles at this time while deciding which wing numbers to use. The re designation of No. 12 Squadron to the more distinguished No. 1 Squadron and No. 21 Squadron to No. 2 Squadron occurred at around this time which suggests that the RAAF was settling on which names to retain. All the sheets in the No. 83 Wing unit history sheets are marked as 'No. 83 Wing', but the copy in the NAA looks to be a clean copy typed up in one sitting, presumably as part of the process of disbanding the unit. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 10:37, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

If there's no MILHIST featured articles promoted before the end of the month - and you of all people will know if there are - and likewise featured lists, though the only ones actually nominated that are at all related seem to be the pretty tangental List of prime ministers of Australia and Timeline of the impeachment of Andrew Johnson). So probably not much more to do. I looked ahead in the FPC queue and unless Gurney gets delayed in promotion, then FPs are done, and worst case scenario we report a little early.

Hello, I went to find suitable citations for Professor Farquharson's rescue of Tubby the dog on the Tacoma Narrows bridge, only to find that that was Frederick Burt Farquharson and not Ray. That's my bad, the footage of the collapse simply refers to him as "Prof Farquharson" and doesn't clarify his first or nmiddle name so I thought the two were the same.

Hi Ian, I'm going to be out of town until Monday. I've just written the for the editors section and the book reviews and A-class articles should be done, so I think that this will be good to go when the featured content is finalised.

Hi Ian Rose! I am here to let you (as well as the other FAC coordinators on their talk pages) know that User:P-Makoto and I intend to nominate the Joseph Smith article for Featured Article status within the next few weeks. After spending some time lurking at WP:FA and WP:FAC though, I notice that this article is lengthier and more complex than most of the articles that are nominated. I think the length is justified: Smith was and remains a very complex and controversial figure. And of course, just being complex and controversial with a long article doesn't necessarily disqualify a topic from FA status (for example, see Jesus).
That said, I'm wondering if you have any specific thoughts, questions, or comments before we jump into things? I think the length and complexity of the material has turned off some reviewers from doing a deep dive into it in the past. For example, a 2013 PR request failed to attract a single reviewer or even a comment. Is there anything you recommend to offset this a little bit?
Thanks in advance, and cheers! Trevdna ( talk) 04:49, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I'd say that's all the articles one would consider inclusion of - Frances Cleveland did a bunch of work preparing the U.S. For WWI, so she probably counts, rest are pretty standard subjects, though with slight doubt about Menenre, an Egyptian pharoah without a huge amount of discussions of his military work, and the somewhat-poorly-documented (in remaining texts) Tiberius III.

Hi Ian, I was thinking of nominating Gordon Steege for TFA on Sep 1, the anniversary of his death. Normally I would try to nominate biographies on their birthdays, but Steege was born on Oct 31 which is a tough day to schedule. There doesn't seem to be anything majorly significant about Steege's death (it wasn't in combat, he didn't receive an award for the events that caused his death, etc.) but is there was another day that would better suit Steege's appearance on TFA (commemoration of Australian servicemen, or another occasion that I do not know about?)

I see that 1 January 1901 is celebrated as a founding day for the Commonwealth of Australia. Is there any particular controversy associated with this day? If we ran, say Koala or Canberra on that day, would Australians be likely to think of that as an obvious nod to Australia's founding day? - Dank ( push to talk) 15:58, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
@ Ian Rose, I'm working on January TFAs now. Re: Koala, I'll run that on 1 January unless you or someone else objects. (Jerry, the FAC co-nominator, is fine with it.) Agreed that it would be nice if Federation of Australia shows up on 1 January at WP:OTD, but it's currently listed in the "Ineligible" section of Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/January 1); something to do with the references. - Dank ( push to talk) 18:56, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Congratulations, and thank you today for Frank Bladin, introduced (in 2011): "Another of my older RAAF bios that passed GAN and MilHist ACR but which I felt just needed a little more work before nominating for FAC.

Hi Ian, as I think you've seen I've just added a photo I took today of Spence's grave to the article on him. The cemetery has an interesting layout, with sections for each country (quite large in Australia's case) as well as a combined section at the top of the hill where each country has a group of about a dozen graves below a national flag. Spence is in the combined section, which I presume was done as an honour. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 12:08, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
I have added the second place finish in the contest for simongraham to the November Bugle contest item draft. I also realize that I had not recognized Zawed for second place in September.

Thank you today for the article, introduced: Donald (in 2017): "Time for another RAAF chief, this one being the second and last RAF officer to run the service. That caused resentment, but it soon dissipated. Hardman had a good pedigree: fighter ace in World War I, foreign postings between the wars, and group command in World War II. He also seems to have been a likeable bloke, as well as an imaginative organiser. His main claim to fame is that he transformed the Air Force from its WWII-era geographically based command-and-control system into a functional command system, which essentially exists today. The article's post-military section is a bit thin, but I think he just lived a quiet life." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2019) as "another Royal Australian Air Force wing commander who fought in the Korean War and seemed destined for the top but died too soon. This bio was on my list for some time, the impetus to complete it being 1960s images becoming available to use, and my discovery of a detailed article on the circumstances of the subject's death. A New Zealand-born RAAF pilot, Drummond survived close calls in Korea and in Vietnam only to die mysteriously in a training exercise off the Australian coast – or perhaps not so mysteriously; the evidence from the court of inquiry may offer a cautionary tale for high achievers everywhere..."! - If you click on places: images of a flock of sheep that I met by chance on the 300th birthday of Bach's cantata Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104 -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello User:Ian Rose
I have observed your recent peer review on the webpage bio of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. A series of subsequent edits made by User:Matarisvan have also been observed, in particular his decision to remove the subsections of his promotion dates and his military decorations. Kindly remember, sir, that the subject person is from the military - and while yes, according to a comment of yours in the peer review, the awards he received may be mentioned in the webpage's body, but in an overall context - he is a military officer, and thus his insignia must be displayed.
For reference, you can look at the webpages of fellow field marshals, like K. M Cariappa (India), Sarath Fonseka (Sri Lanka), Ayub Khan (Pakistan), Igor Sergeyev (Russia) - who all have separate, distinct mentions of their insignia. Please, do urge User:Matarisvan have to stop removing the aforementioned subsections.
Yours. Silver Pavilion ( talk) 14:08, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
