	*OK. ] <sub>]</sub> 07:42, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
	Well, it looks like you were right. This is going to take longer to write than I thought. I'm going to get some sleep now. Great work so far. ] (]) 08:22, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
	:Meh. My Crater section is a bit of a dog's breakfast. I struggle to write prose well, especially if the information is a lot of random facts that are hard to organize into a cohesive whole. I'll have another look at it tomorrow. ] <sub>]</sub> 08:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
	Hi, sorry I haven't been making progress on the article recently. I have to finish up a long-neglected GA review, and then I'll be back to writing. ] (]) 06:47, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
	*That's OK. I've had stuff in real life to deal with so I haven't always been around myself. Anyway, there's no ] and I'm still very confident in how this thing's going to turn out. ] <sub>]</sub> 11:42, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
	I had some random thoughts about the article. Almost all the sections are done except for a bunch of the Dactyl ones. We could just write a summary of it for the DYK stage, and then flesh it out afterwards. I'm a little worried that if we pull in the Dactyl article now, we'll have to do a 5x expansion of that material as well. Also, with only two sections plus the summary left to go, we could move it into article space this weekend! The other thing is that the copy of the original article is just taking up space on the (bloated) workpage, so I think I'm going to delete it. ] (]) 07:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
	*I think we're going to need the Dactyl stuff to meet the 5x expansion. I've been keeping a little tally: the original article contains 654 words, so for a fivefold expansion the final version needs to be 3270 words or more. Currently we're at about 2250 (70% of what we need), and that's including all the Dactyl material. I do agree though about having the current article in the workpage- I've got rid of it. ] <sub>]</sub> 08:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
	How's our word count now? ] (]) 06:05, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
	*We are very close: by my tally we're up to 3114/3270 (95%). I assume you're familiar with ]? It's what I've been using, and what the DYK people use, to estimate a word count. ] <sub>]</sub> 06:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
	Move to article space on Friday? ] (]) 05:47, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
	*Sure. My latest count has us just barely over the 5x threshold, so we should be good to go. ] <sub>]</sub> 07:06, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
	*:Very good. I'm going to get some sleep now, but I'll start merging in my sections tomorrow. ] (]) 07:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

	==Responses==

	This is Dallezam. You sent me a letter to remove a contribution - fine, no hard feelings. As a result I have temporarily removed the write up. I have a list as to why it is important to the NLL but no sources because these are rare. I honestly think that I am the only person who owns this tape.

	There seems to be some progress being made towards redrafting the guideline. Most of the arguments for a permissive guideline seem to have been countered in the sense that they have been found not to be viable. My attempts to obtain a compromise earlier this year seem to be leading towards a slightly stricter applciation of ] for fiction that should discourage topics which are only the subject of in universe plot summary, trivia and cruft. A recent post at ] seems to make this clear. Can you provide some cool and clear support towards drafting a compromise that is compliant with existing Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines? --] (]) 19:32, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
