Happy New Year
Happy New Year from Tony the Marine 02:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I wish you and your loved ones all the happiness in the world this coming year.
FAC note on Mahabharata et alia
Just wanted to mention a few things. Some you may know already:
- The Mahabharata article was never "awarded" GA status - it was only mentioned within a project template and never had the general GA template. Some editors are treating GA as just another assessment category within their project, unrelated to the GA nomination process.
- Cite.php now allows named refs to be used before the content is defined. That is, now you can have <ref name="ab"/> appear before <ref name="ab">some text</ref>.
- Good news!
- I've drastically rewritten the ref-fixing code. New version is at User:Gimmetrow/fixRefs.js, and provides a toolbar link rather than a tab. I think the code is a lot easier to read, and it should operate a little bit faster. I'd like you to try it out a while before I invite the other users to convert over. I've also changed the User:Gimmetrow/regexp.js to a toolbar link; don't know if you were using that.
- OK, I'll load them up on monobook - since I'm technologically challenged, you may be hearing from me :-)
- Have a question about short FACs. There are a couple of short FACS on narrow topics now. On one, the argument is made this is all the information available, so it's comprehensive. Something about that bothers me. I mean, I could write an article on topic so narrow that there really isn't much more to say than a few paragraphs. For example, there isn't too much more to say about Bob Beamon, but an article could focus on just the jump. (And it could easily be fascinating!) Shouldn't there be some sort of "scope" requirement to FA too? How carefully should "there is no more information" be distinguished from weak research?
- I have the same discomfort level on short FACs - you may notice I don't usually support them. Not sure if something can be done, but I thought GA originally came about for short FAs, and now GA is just a grabbag of junk.
- Happy new year! Gimmetrow 05:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- The Happiest, Joyous and Healthful New Year to you and yours as well! Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:02, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Ref fixer
Gimmetrow, it seems to work, but it doesn't look right - User:SandyGeorgia/monobook.js - the first pre is dropped on mine, compared to yours? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- I wasn't using regexp - I forget - what does it do? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- You should just delete that code and add {{subst:js|User:Gimmetrow/fixRefs.js}} to your monobook, so when I change the code again you'll have the updates. Gimmetrow 18:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sheesh, I just love it when I so publicly display my stupidity :-) Thanks, Gimmetrow ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Category:Military brat
Well, somebody beat me to the category of military brat, but I went through last night and updated all of the brats on the List of famous military brats to have the category on their page. Well, the category has already been nominated for deletion. The reasoning is because it is a "non-neutral" term and parental occupation is irrelevant. Thus, I'm letting people who have contributed to the Military brat article know so that they can support the category. Here is the link to the discussion Balloonman 20:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
