--Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:04, 4 April 2020 (UTC) WP:GO must be archived every Sunday at 0:01 UTC before new additions are made to the previous week's page. [1] Only the WP:FAC editors have been doing this, while other featured processes have not shared in the maintenance burden. The instructions for archiving the page are included in an HTML comment in the WP:GO page-- it would be helpful if other featured processes would help with the Sat night weekly archiving. Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 11:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC) New concept?Hi PLW, Please explain your concept. What exactly is the benefit. How is adding blank images useful?

RQ-170 SentinelI'll try to see if Truthdowser can fix the error in the diagram (highlighted in red for emphasis) then I will nominate it. Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (talk) 19:57, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Let's see...How can I reply to this appropriately? I frankly have no idea what you're talking about. You have been raving about how I am opposed to the image appearing in the lead section, which, as I have explained, I am not. At the same time, this is completely consistent with me feeling that the EV is not high enough for the image to be featurable. If I have misunderstood, feel free to re-explain, but your sarcasm and the fact you're ignoring my comments just makes you look like an idiot. J Milburn (talk) 14:39, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
For you
Thank you for getting the opium poppy set to work so well in the opium poppy infobox. You saved me the trouble of having to figure it out, and closing sets is tedious enough without that, :) Also, I happened to spot that you made this crop, part of the set. Thanks for that, too. Regards, Maedin\talk 21:42, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
This is the second time you've treated me like shit on FPC. Drop it. As a rule, we treat each other with a little respect here. J Milburn (talk) 23:47, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Can you clarify your participation at this nomination? You did not explicitly state your support for the edit or, for that matter, opposition to the original. Since the nomination is a bit confusing, I'm requesting clarification from a few participants. Thanks. Makeemlighter (talk) 07:46, 19 May 2010 (UTC) Re: WP:FPC behaviourGrow up... Sniping at me is hardly going to excuse your own idiocy. J Milburn (talk) 14:31, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Maedin\talk 18:53, 4 June 2010 (UTC) Page load timeI archive once a month at the end of the month.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 11:59, 24 June 2010 (UTC) Hey there! Thanks for making an alternate crop of the picture, which has been promoted. Good work! Jujutacular T · C 13:33, 7 July 2010 (UTC) Can we please close this nom now? Not only is it clear that it's going to fail (as it was before) but now enough people have supported the close to warrant a speedy closure even under the rules that you've proclaimed. I'm assuming if I was to do it you would find some reason to overturn it again? J Milburn (talk) 19:03, 10 July 2010 (UTC) Seriously?This just comes across as trawling. I have no strong feelings on the question- I don't care, I never really look at the recently closed section- but, especially considering his sarcastic comment, it comes across that you're just trying to be a dick. J Milburn (talk) 21:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
The GasesThanks for going through all the work on that one: If it helps, find that spending a couple minutes preparing the list of everything I want to promote, with the creator and what it is, means I can just copy-paste the list and tweak the formatting at the various pages. If you ever hit something like that again with one of mine, I'm happy to do the work with my own nominations, provided someone else marks them as promoted. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC) I imagine you saw, but your edit has been promoted, and I put it into all the articles and portals and so on. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:01, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
SignpostHey, PLW, There's some boilerplate for this request, and I'll paste it below, but I prefer to be a bit more personal: I've gotten involved with helping out with the Signpost's new Features and admins section, which includes commentary and any interesting little bits that came up in the reviews for each of the content categories. It also has a choice of the week, and that wanders amongst the regular contributors to FPC. There's about a dozen names that come to mind when I think about Featured pictures - I'll spare you a list, you've been there for years as well, and could come up with it just as easily. So, coming to the point: Would you like to be the person who selects their favourite Featured picture this week, to highlight in the signpost? Boilerplate info follows
I realise the timing is a bit specific; obviously, it's because, well, too far in advance and we don't really know what will pass, too late and it's not really news. =) If you can't do it this week, but want to do it later, just let me know when would be good. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:18, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
There's no rush: Really, it can't be written until we know (or are fairly certain) what FPs are going to be promoted anyway, after all. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:10, 21 July 2010 (UTC) Speedy closes, againDo you not consider it a little... odd that you've just taken the liberty of speedy closing two nominations, neither of which actually meet any of the proposed guidelines? I completely agree with both closures, but I really, really can't see how this is consistent with the arguments you've expressed on the FPC talk page... J Milburn (talk) 19:18, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Talkback: Fanny BrateHello, Papa Lima Whiskey. You have new messages at P. S. Burton's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. SignpostGreat to have you onboard! =) The page is at Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2010-07-26/Features_and_admins#Featured pictures, and, although I'm predicting one closure that, properly speaking, we won't know for certain about until tomorrow, it'd need so many opposes to show up out of the blue that it's a very safe bet. The page is ready for commentary when you are. =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:08, 24 July 2010 (UTC) TalkbackHello, Papa Lima Whiskey. You have new messages at Theleftorium's talk page.

Hate to be a pain...But we do need your commentary here A.S.A.P: The article's meant to be published pretty soon. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:35, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I really do apologise. Had I known you had a piece ready, I'd have held it up for you, but I hadn't heard anything from you in several days, and you only had said "I think it might work out okay." - which isn't definite. If you want, I have no objection to adding your statement in, if you give it to me. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Aggressive behaviourI've warned you about your aggression before. This is your last warning- continue as you are, I will block you, it's as simple as that. That kind of behaviour just simply isn't acceptable. J Milburn (talk) 20:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
would you consider . . .. . . letting me restore the glossary? It should stay—it belongs and it's good and it would be nice to see it in project space. I can't be the only one who doesn't want J Milburn's arrogant block threats to have discouraged such a useful, positive, and needed contribution. Maedin\talk 01:11, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

I've taken the liberty of redoing this: The faces were a bit over-sharpened because I had applied selective sharpening there, so I redid the sharpening after making a mask. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:42, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/M-15 centerline 1917Did you have an opinion on the original? Imzadi 1979 → 18:01, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
Species IDWell, it's certainly a Sepioteuthis and of the three commonly recognised species, S. lessoniana is the only one whose range covers Komodo National Park (see ftp://ftp.fao.org/docrep/fao/009/ac479e/ac479e18.pdf for example). I'd say it's a pretty solid ID. mgiganteus1 (talk) 18:03, 23 August 2010 (UTC) Culture and lifestyleWell, do you think it needs to be strictly chronological? If oit doesn't, that simplifies things a lot. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:40, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Sitting Bull and Buffalo BillPlease see my comment at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill, c.1885. Thanks. Makeemlighter (talk) 00:10, 25 August 2010 (UTC) Where......are you getting this from? That's not what the instructions say- they say it's a straight up to week nomination. I've undone your edit. J Milburn (talk) 13:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Requesting deletionI see that you have decided to ask for a second opinion on the deletion of Senostoma. You are, of course, perfectly welcome to do this. However, tagging it for speedy deletion as "an article that contains no content whatsoever" when that was not the case until you removed its content, is not the way to go about it. If you think the redirect should be deleted then please take it to WP:RfD. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:23, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

What was your reason to apply cc sa 3.0 unported here? Performing a restoration does not automatically qualify for a derivative work. --Peter Weis (talk) 18:36, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

FPC questionHi Papa Lima Whiskey, I'm 0.25 vote short of support for my Carambola composition, and the voting is closing soon. It has some strong support but not enough people are voting. I'm wondering if you could help put one of those boxes at the top to draw attention to more potential voters? I don't mind if it fails due to many people opposing, but it would be a shame to fail just because there are simple not enough votes. If it fails, can I submit it again at a later stage? What are the rules for that? As you are aware, I'm quite new at FPC. Thanks. – S Masters (talk) 01:09, 4 November 2010 (UTC) TalkbackHello, Papa Lima Whiskey.
