108 in April? GAH! I need to get a real life (in reality, we're packing up the car, computer goes in in about half an hour (grins)). Ealdgyth - Talk 15:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Keywords: delegation, training, increase your footprint :-) Have a great trip !! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Good articles#Proposal

Hi. I'm undecided about the overall proposal, but your comments there make me think that you think the whole GA process is fundamentally flawed. I don't know too much about GA (never nominated anything for it, never supported or opposed, haven't even read the criteria) but if you're that unhappy with them, I think you need to do something more than just opposing this proposal. --Dweller (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

There are only 24 hours in a day :-) And, there are good editors involved at GA, who can solve the issues, if they'll only acknowledge them. So far, I suspect they just really aren't aware of how pervasive it is, and how easy it will be to identify the problem areas. I've got a spreadsheet on FAC declarations that is crystal clear; they'd only have to do it once. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Spreadsheet on declarations? Sorry, you've lost me! --Dweller (talk) 16:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

For two months, at the end of the month, I've gone through the FAC archives and evaluated who rolls up their sleeves and digs in and does the work to help decide closings, and taken note of unactionable opposes as well as premature supports on nominations of articles that eventually were found by other reviewers to have significant deficiencies and were not promoted. GA needs to do some kind of basic assessment like that. By simply looking at the FAC archives of GAs that weren't promoted FA because of unreliable sources, they can see the problems. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Cor. Do you ever eat? You clearly don't sleep. --Dweller (talk) 16:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Autism rights

Hi Sandy! Glad to see you're back, I hope the break was to savour your accomplishments and not gather your energies. Or both. Or neither. I hope you're doing well, there : )

Could I drop a problem in your lap? - don't know about the source or subject, I've popped a note on Eub's talk page, but sadly it's languished. Because it's sourced I'm reluctant to remove it out of hand, but I don't know how it'll fit with the rest of the article. Any advice? I probably won't be able to get to it today as I'll have to read the whole page to figure what to do with it. Thanks, as always your devoted fanboy. WLU (talk) 16:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

It's on my list, but I'm going to be out all afternoon, and I haven't caught up from yesterday. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

And it's such a long list too. It's a race! Let's see who gets there first, the lazy (me!) or absurdly busy (you) WLU (talk) 16:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey pooter

Saw your talk page yesterday, and I think I'm so much blissfully happier not know wtf that was all about. Just checking in to see you're doing super as usual and you haven't beaten anything to a sick, bloody ooze because of this inconsequential website. (Hmmm. When I create a new section, I am unable to practice my art of creative edit summaries...) --Moni3 (talk) 17:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Wednesday is really spa day (yesterday was FAC spreadsheet day :-), so I'll summarize it for you before I get out the door: Wiki needs to solve a lot of serious problems "in here" that led to the creation of problems "out there" that ultimately costed us, and one of our finest, dearly, while the problems "in here" go unaddressed by our "leadership". A very sad and disheartening situation. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Aaah. Yes, this is why I write and expand articles that I think are important that have wasted to nothing, or haven't been created. People are predisposed to poltical bands in any society, and enjoy the factions they create, maintain, and the conflicts that arise because of them. If people can't see the futility of this kind of behavior, at least I can refuse to particpate in it. Although I don't know what tune I might be whistling when scores of perverts decide to attack one of my articles... --Moni3 (talk) 17:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you withdraw WP:FAC/New York State Route 28

I'm not gonna have time to fix everything, and its apparent that it won't pass. It would be a lot easier to just get rid of it for now.32 22:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I know Sandy's busy so if you just post "Withdraw" and sign it on the nomination page, I can do the rest. --ROGER DAVIES 23:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll probably archive that one, roger, since it has significant comments. I'll get to it with tonight's batch. But generally, yes, if the noms will put a bold Withdraw, that will save my busy talk page :-) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Roger; I was in the middle of archiving (brain stretched with so many tabs open at once :-) so I got it. Although it's not at all clear to me that it wasn't going to make it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Would you consider Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare stable enough to allow me to nominate another article? Gary King (talk) 23:02, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

With one oppose that it's not comprehensive, and another strong oppose alleging POV, I'm surprised you ask. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I've responded to those issues and am just awaiting a reply. Gary King (talk) 23:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Alright, looks like a few more things cropped up. I'll deal with those first before anything else. Gary King (talk) 23:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		To SandyGeorgia, I award this Barnstar of Diligence for going above and beyond the call of FAC duty. Thanks to your efforts, the FAC process is running smoothly without a large backlog. Your attention to detail and willingness to spend large amounts of time analyzing FAC comments are a testament to your desire to improve the process, and as a reviewer I am very grateful for all that you do. Karanacs (talk) 02:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

You tend to get all the &*%# comments, and we forget to thank you often enough. I'm amazed at how much more smoothly FAC is running now and I can't tell you how grateful I am to see the active nomination count hover around 40 instead of 60 or more! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Karanacs (talk)`
