== Bot work ==
I guess you want to get a bunch ready before you go on travel. It takes longer to process the formerFA templates due to the page moving, and there are 800 or so articles with {{tl|featured}}. Then I suppose I'll go through the articles with {{tl|formerFA}}, {{tl|formerFA2}}, {{tl|farcfailed}}, {{tl|FARpassed}} and variations. Speaking of which, I noticed someone already created a redirect to the ArticleHistory template - another thing for code to look out for. Still finding hidden things from curious links in the archives, which slows things down. The page info generated before was filtered so it had a good concentration of FA-related pages. Other versions with less filtering had 1400 and 900 pages. The latter is probably a reasonable estimate of the FAC pages not linked on appropriate talk pages, but includes about 100 redirects in the WP:FAC prefix. ] 11:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


==Refs== == Thank you! ==
If you get a chance before you jet off, could you have a quick look at the refs for ]. I'm planning on putting up for FAC and this is the first one I've done that has been sourced mostly from books rather than the web. Cheers, ]] 12:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
::Very sensible idea. Done. ]] 14:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Done that too. I used to have the footnote dates linked on all my articles by using accessdate=''date'' ''month''|accessyear=''year'' but people kept changing them to accessdaymonth= instead (which is not linked), so I eventually caved in and started putting that, and now it appears they want them linked anyway...bit annoying. ]] 16:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

:: I think the ] could be made to track these numbers through the ArticleHistory template. There would be a category:ArticleHistory by quality, and subcategories like ArticleHistory FA-Class articles. Could make this count FFAs too. Been thinking about this as we've gone over 1000 pages with ArticleHistory and I'm starting to see them edited incorrectly, possibly well-intentioned now, but eventually vandalism. The 1.0 bot would generate a log of all changes to class categories. ] 05:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Sandy.

It's an article I've worked quite hard on of late, and am very keen to take to FAC.

The Campus Watch thing (pasted from a blogsite that evidently manipulates the article and, amazingly, one run by holocause deniers called http://www.fpp.co.uk/) is confusing and adds nothing to the entry for Halversson. I agree with JSRP it should not be in the article.

Season's Greetings
Wishing everybody a Happy Holiday Season, and all best wishes for the New Year! The Adoration of the Magi in the Snow (1563) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder is my Wiki-Christmas card to all for this year. Johnbod (talk) 17:36, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank your for you beautiful card, as always, Johnbod; I'm sorry I've been so absent this year and didn't get a chance to reciprocate, and I hope you have a Happy New Year! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:18, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

A very happy Christmas and New Year to you!


Have a great Christmas, and may 2025 bring you joy, happiness – and no trolls or vandals!

Cheers

Hello again

Hello again. Apologies for leaving this random message, especially since I know you are more semi-retired on here, but I just wanted to say that I hope you are doing well and having a great end of the year! I just wanted to send some kind words your way. Aoba47 (talk) 17:59, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Just popping by to echo Aoba47's sentiment. I'm glad to see you're around here and there, and I hope I continue seeing you around. Wishing you and your family all the best for 2025, leaving behind what sounds like it has been a challenging 2024. Ajpolino (talk) 13:03, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Happy New Year, Ajpolino! I am around as I'm able, but I'm not anticipating that 2025 will be any less challenging than 2024. It is wonderful to hear from you, and when/if I next get a breather, I will send you an email to update you on my absence. All the best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:23, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Aoba47 it is always so nice to hear from you. This year has been quite rough for me, and your random words of kindness always bring good cheer. I hope the coming year is kind to you! Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:21, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Thank you for the kind words. I am sorry to hear that your year has been rough, but I am glad that I am able to help in any small way. Your words do the same for me. I am trying my best to remain optimistic and focused about the future. Just keeping my attention on things that I can control and ideally improve. It is always great to hear from you as well.
