Hi, TBrandley. I was going through some GA reviews you did on articles I nominated, and I noticed you often say that a source cannot be included because it does not meet the GNG. This doesn't make sense because the GNG is a guideline on deciding if a topic deserves its own article; it has nothing to do with reliable sourcing. I think you probably thought that it was saying the GNG of sources, but it's actually topics. Just thought I'd mention this because it might confuse unexperienced nominators. :-) TRLIJC19 (talk) 03:35, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Awake S01E12.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Misplaced Pages, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

I think I owe you an apology for my comments in the FLRC. You were just trying to help, and there was no reason for me to go after you.

Don't let our behaviour discourage you from reviewing articles in the future. -- Scorpion23:36, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi, TBrandley. You are mislabeling your edits as "copyediting", when they are not. First of all, renaming a section is not a minor copyedit; it is a section title change. I noticed you often rename sections or assume a style of editing is mandatory, after seeing another article this way. For example, (presumably) after you noticed The X-Files episode articles had a broadcast and reception section, you asked for it to be changed to that on a Grey's Anatomy episode article GA review. Such should be avoided, because unless it is policy, it is not required. Second, I am assuming English is not your first language, because often when you "copyedit" articles, you reword the sentence into something that is clearly not grammatically correct. Such as "the series was created to be a racially diverse"-- this clearly is improper English. Finally, please stop removing quotes from the quote boxes, because it is interchangeable to have quotes, or not have them. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello members of WikiProject Grey's Anatomy! We are sending out our weekly newsletter with updates about the project and tasks. Big apologies for the lack of the newsletter last week! First of all, we would like to welcome a new member to the project, TBrandley; we look forward to collaborating with him. We have several new achievements and updates to be announced! We have three new good articles! The articles that were promoted are "Give Peace a Chance" (previously a DYK), which was created and developed by TRLIJC19, Sadie Harris, which was developed by Sofffie7 and TRLIJC19, and "Flight", which was developed by Sofffie7 and TRLIJC19. Grey's Anatomy and Grey's Anatomy (season 3) are in the preparations for FAC. There are many things to be done for the project, in an attempt to exemplify its best work. Below is a list of tasks, and guidelines:
Tasks and Gudelines
*Character Pages
Ensure that each character page has this section order:
Shorten character storylines, using {{Cite episode}} to reference episodes, and break down season sub-section headers into just one section, "Storylines".
Keep an eye out for vandalism, as that tends to occur at that page.
General
Many users and IPs have been erasing "surgical resident" from fifth year residents characters' occupations in infoboxes and at List of Grey's Anatomy characters. This should all be held off until more info is given on their current occupation in the season premiere. Revert if you see this, and if it's persistent; warn users.
Some IPs/Users have been changing Lexie Grey's article as well as Callie Torres, going against MOS. Revert if you see this, and try to explain to the IP/User why this is wrong.
Weekly Initiative!
The weekly initiative this week is to develop a Grey's Anatomy-related stub or start-class article, using the relevant guidelines above! Model your article off of a Grey's Anatomy page with GA status. Use your Misplaced Pages skills to fix MOS inconsistencies, copyedit, add more information by researching, and remove unreferenced claims! Barnstars will be awarded to users who destub/de-start their articles, and get the quality level promoted to at least 'C' class! You can determine if an article meets the 'C' class criteria by asking for the reviewing coordinator, TRLIC19, or one of his delegates (Jonathan Harold Koszeghi and Sofffie7) to review the article. Please do not change the article's quality rating yourself; you must have it reviewed by a member of the reviewing committee. A list of stub and start class Grey's Anatomy articles can be found at the project's main page. Also, use the templates listed at the project page to recruit new members; the more the merrier! Take part in these initiatives, have fun destubbing/starting articles, feel proud after the article you cleaned up looks better, and be rewarded with barnstars! Help make a difference and get started! Furthermore, if you notice that any user has participated in any weekly initiative and was not rewarded, give them a barnstar ASAP!
Have fun, and don't forget to cite everything you write! We hope to see several expanded articles, and new members, soon!

Request
Hey, TBrandley. Can you choose a more natural color as a background for your talk page, as it strains my eyes every time I look at it, lol. (By the way, this is written in a comical way, and I am in no way mandating a change in color). TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 04:19, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Regarding your offer that you mentioned here, are there any caveats to it? There are actually a few articles that I've always wanted to have someone else help me improve, but I don't mind picking just one if that's all you'd rather do. I don't mind continuing to help if it means that I can get more done. Hope this is a fair enough exchange. Davejohnsan (talk) 15:22, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you! Also, you're in luck; a user who meets the minimum requirement to be a member of the board declined the offer, so you will be put on; pending the responses of two editors. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 03:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
TBrandley, per WP:ORANGE: "Creating a fake message banner that misleads readers into thinking they have new messages is prohibited". It used to be allowed, but after an RfC in February 2012, it was banned. That said, you must remove them from your user page and talk page. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 21:13, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees Cwmhiraeth (submissions) as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees Grapple X (submissions) in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees Muboshgu (submissions) in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's Ruby2010 (submissions) follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.
Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Misplaced Pages talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Misplaced Pages:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Do you know who changed it
Hi, TBrandley. I just finished fixing the theatre film and drama GA listings back to the appropriate way, and it took an hour! That said, do you know who originally changed it so I can explain to them why it was inappropriate? Thanks, TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 21:34, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your extensive GA review of Sherlock (TV series), and helping to get it up to GA standard. It's taken many, many hours to get it to that state. I really appreciate your specific advice too, and willingness to make a couple of changes yourself. Thanks again. The JPS22:04, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the recognition. Have you considered getting the article copy-edit so you can go to FAC, and make to article reach Featured Article status? TBrandley22:07, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Mmm, not sure. FAC is so time-consuming with little benefit to the reader. I think my time could be better spent elsewhere improving Cs to Bs, etc. I think my next ambition, to complete my Steven Moffat set (Sherlock is my fifth Moffat article to achieve GA/FA) is to get Coupling (UK TV series) up to GA (which requires some more work, particularly in the Characters section). The JPS22:17, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
TBrandley, I can say that I am deeply impressed by the gradual change you have been displaying in your quality of editing. Specifically, your GA reviews have gone a long way. You've gone from doing whitewash reviews like this, to highly extensive reviews like this. You have received much criticism throughout your time on Misplaced Pages, but you have not let it affect your enthusiasm to improve your editing. I hope you continue working hard, and keep trying to excel on Misplaced Pages! TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! I appreciate the recognition. Typically, I try to take "constructive criticism" rather than taking it as person who is a "hater". TBrandley22:33, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
REPLY and I explained how it is NOT a copyright violation. When I asked if you and the person who obviously consulted you about this if you wanted me to school you about this and REALLY get into it ha ha, you disappear! I am telling you that this is NON FREE USE, and yeah I'm yelling and if there is a problem with that oh-well I'm also trying to tell you, do you really want to get into this here? How many OTHER television Wikis have you destroyed with this faulty reasoning?68.37.29.229 (talk) 23:14, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
68.37.29.229, I understand you may be frustrated, but you are getting out of hand. I have warned you about your behavior on your talk page way back in April. I do not know anything about this copyright dispute, but regardless, it should be dealt with by having a discussion, not by leaning towards personal attacks. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
REPLY asking what other television show entries have been ruined by deleting content is not a personal attack! Neither is typing in all caps, but whatever. I do not appreciate trying to help Misplaced Pages be good, and having my efforts erased as soon as I post them. You may have time to hang around here all the time but most people do not and they probably, (like myself), do not appreciate taking the time to contribute material to then have it deleted.68.37.29.229 (talk) 23:28, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Writing in caps is often considered offensive, and should be refrained. Saying "How many OTHER television Wikis have you destroyed with this faulty reasoning?" is insinuating that TBrandley is not editing in good faith, and is leaning towards a personal attack. Did you notice I said "leaning towards" personal attacks? You have not actually reached that point, but you are getting there. If the material you are trying to add is in fact a copyright violation (not saying it is; as I'm not familiar with the current situation), it must be deleted, regardless of how long you spent adding it. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
BY THE WAY, WP:NFCI is one of the places where non free use is explained. That is why copying and pasting episode descriptions is not a "copyright violation" according to Misplaced Pages-ok? If you have any more problems with that I suggest that you make an issue out of it instead of trying to divert the discussion into the topic of, (non-existent/imaginary) "personal attacks".68.37.29.229 (talk) 23:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
If you read my summary, it says I was a (talk page stalker). That's a huge personal attack. I don't appreciate your behavior, and I didn't reply because I was "offline". Is that allowed? I now know that you have been blocked for now. And another thing, as non-free content is only for images, not words/text. Your comments can hurt people's feelings; read WP:COPYVIO.TBrandley04:43, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your help in making Misplaced Pages great! Just a quick littler note: Per this thread - and it's a long one (), please don't make comments like "looks good", etc on Requests for Permissions, as the granting admin still has to look over the user in question's contribs/etc, regardless of your comments. Thanks! Theopolisme TALK05:07, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for thanking me! Also, I know. Thanks for letting me know, as I also use (Non-administrator comment). TBrandley05:14, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Non admin observations are generally not helpful, particularly at WP:PERM which is really strictly an admin-only area, and as yet, has no real need for clerking. Unless those comments are from long-term, very experienced users whose names we recognise, they are usually ignored. The same goes in part for several other admin noticeboards where commentators are not directly involved (there has recently been a long discussion about this at AN/I). One area where we are urgently looking for more editors is NewPagePatrol - an essential Misplaced Pages process. As you have significant experience in article creation and content editing, you may wish to learn more about it at WP:NPP, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:49, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Short of a miracle, M&E's RfA is obviously not going to succeed. I wonder if adding more questions at this stage is really necessary. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:45, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
It's fine; at the very least, it gave people a bit more insight into my understanding of policy so they can further ascertain some areas in which I could improve. I appreciate the interest in my candidacy. Take care. =) Master&Expert (Talk) 09:12, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Don't revert again by erasing 2013. There are 24 episodes; it is a technical impossibility that they all air in 2012. In order to do that, more than one episode would have to air per week. That has never been done on primetime TV; so WP:COMMONSENSE comes into play. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 06:03, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Mmm, that pie is delicious. I deserve some dessert (Lol) I'm surprised you haven't got any "featured content" yet. ;) TBrandley08:43, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I've gotten 12 good articles as of right now. Two are awating to be promoted :)/failed :(. Good luck on those. Oh, and I'm going to leave some final comments for the list of GA episodes at your talk page if that's okay. Two are also awating for FA :0 TBrandley01:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
I will do that right now. Don't think the article will need a copy-edit as there is only a three paragraphed lead, was like that for List of Family Guy episodes. Good luck, and again, I'll write directly after I'm finished writing this message, haha. TBrandley01:33, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
For the brownie. I'm not a huge barnstar person, but some recognition from time to time is greatly appreciated. Again, thanks. Giants2008 (Talk) 16:20, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I think it behooves you to post something to the other three holds—Google Chrome, Cora Cross, and Satyamev Jayate (TV show)—to at least say what still needs to be done there. In each of these, there have been followups since your last post, all of which were prior to the end of the drive. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:43, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Okay. Thanks for letting me know! I'm going to fail Google Chrome as no issues have been addressed for quite a while now. Pyrotec's comments have also not been addressed. TBrandley03:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)t
Sounds good, especially if no one is making the necessary adjustments to the article. They can always renominate at a later time. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:55, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Great point. I have remind the nominators for all the other articles above. Cora Cross is almost ready, while Satyamev Jayate, as said, I am reminding them. Thanks, TBrandley03:57, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
The nominator for Green Lantern (film) has stated that he will addressed the new comments on Monday or Tuesday. Oh, he has now stated that he will fix those issues tonight. TBrandley04:04, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Proposal Real Housewives of New Jersey Episode guide
I would like to propose that the episode information that was deleted be undo-that the info. be put back up and that the correct procedure as per Misplaced Pages be used before it is removed from the page. With a notice at the top of the page like the one that I have only put on one Grey's Anatomy episode. Otherwise, in my spare time I may get real busy here with that kind of thing.
If that sounds like that threat-you can take it that way if you want but all I am claiming is that I may begin following the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.29.229 (talk) 17:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Your edit to Give Peace a Chance (Grey's Anatomy) has been reverted. The plot summary is within a normal length (2 paragraphs), which is shorter than most articles. For example, Squeeze (The X-Files) is a featured article (one of Misplaced Pages's finest), and it's plot summary is longer than Give Peace a Chance's. For Real Housewives, you cannot restore the information and place {{plot}} on the top of the article. That template doesn't make sense at all. First of all, it is for tagging article's with plot summaries that are too long. The summaries you are trying to add to that page are of a reasonable length. Second, maintenance/warning templates can only be used if the plot is written by the author/in the public domain. There are some cases on Misplaced Pages that the information has to be removed immediately. One instance, in this case, is copyrighted material, which needs to be removed immediately. Another is when people add unsourced information to biographies of living people–that also has to be removed immediately. I hope you understand everything I said, TRLIJC19 (talk •
It must be nice to have so much control where you and your alleged, (by myself)socks get to make all the decisions without using the proper consensus. Do you really think it is fair to revert a question that I had about your work?-it sure doesn't seem right to me. And before you act offended at being alleged to be a sock I will let you know it is because you and your sockpopputes (alleged) all seem to be ignorant about the exact same thing which I find to be astonishing for even one person to be so unlearned.nopnopnorobopnororo68.37.29.229 (talk) 18:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
And also because you are using two different user names. Tbrandley (which is the user who made the change that TRLIJC19 claims to have made which leads me to conclude that you forgot that you are the same person.68.37.29.229 (talk) 18:14, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
I can assure you that I have no associations with TBrandley's account, and I give permission to perform checkuser tests on my account if deemed necessary. I said to you, "Your edit to Give Peace a Chance has been reverted", because the page is on my watchlist and I saw that it had been reverted. I did not say "I reverted your edit". Please read sentences before making false accusations. It is not just me and TBrandley that went against your copyright infringement, but it was also Logical Fuzz, and 3 administrators. Also, the ignorance is coming from you, as you fail to understand any policy. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 18:56, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
I've striked my above comment after rethinking it, because until a user with valid reasons insinuates something, I do not need an SPI opened on me. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello members of WikiProject Grey's Anatomy! We are sending out our weekly newsletter with updates about the project and tasks. First of all, we would like to welcome three new members to the project: M.Mario, Tvlover96, and Mattom123; we look forward to collaborating with them. We have several new achievements and updates to be announced! List of Grey's Anatomy episodes, developed by TRLIJC19 and Jonathan Harold Koszeghi, is now a featured list candidate! If promoted, it will be our first piece of "in-house" featured content! Feel free to leave comments or voice your opinions here. Grey's Anatomy, Grey's Anatomy (season 3), and "Give Peace a Chance" are in the preparations for FAC. An administrative board has been added to the project, to make sure the internal processes run smoothly. Any member has the chance to join, and further information is given at the project page. Currently, however, all the positions are filled, so if you are interested, please contact the coordinator and you will be placed on a waiting list. There are many things to be done for the project, in an attempt to exemplify its best work. Below is a list of tasks, and guidelines:
Tasks and Gudelines
Please try to follow these tasks to the best of your abilities. As with any guideline, there may be exceptions, so use common sense when applying them.

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which I withdrew several hours ago just prior to its scheduled closure. I appreciate all the imput I received, and I hope it'll help me grow and develop myself as a Wikipedian.
Oh, and on that related note, I've commented on Kudpung's post above. To reiterate, I'm at least appreciative of the fact that you gave people the opportunity to gain further insight into my policy knowledge and judgement, so that they can offer up additional feedback on where I might want to improve in preparation for any future RfA's I might submit.
I've already told you this: please do not make major edits to Grey's Anatomy right now; a user is copyediting and doesn't need to deal with edit conflicts. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 03:21, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, TBrandley. I don't want you to take this as rude, because I appreciate your help with the list.. As this is my first featured content nomination, I'd like the chance to fix issues raised by other users myself. It seems as though every time a user posts new comments, I am offline, and you address them. Since I am the nominator, I would like to be able to. That said, could you please not address any coming comments, and leave them for me to address? Again, I don't want to sound rude, it's just that I was really excited to be able to have my own nomination in which I would be primarily responsible for its promotion.

Something changed in the way rollback appears so I accidentally made this edit. It appeared like a wikilink in the edit summary that said "rollback more than 10 edits" and I was curious as to what it was linking to so I clicked it. Then I realized I accidentally rolled back your edits. Sorry 'bout that. RyanVesey18:59, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
Hello members of WikiProject Grey's Anatomy! We are sending out our weekly newsletter with updates about the project and tasks. We have several new achievements and updates to be announced! List of Grey's Anatomy episodes, developed by TRLIJC19 and Jonathan Harold Koszeghi, is still a featured list candidate! If promoted, it will be our first piece of "in-house" featured content! If uninvolved with the list, we urge you to leave comments, review the article, and support or oppose it here. Grey's Anatomy, Grey's Anatomy (season 3), and "Give Peace a Chance" are also still in the preparations for FAC, while List of Grey's Anatomy cast members is being developed by TRLIJC19. "Losing My Religion" is now a GAN; it was developed by Sofffie7 and copyedited by TRLIJC19. There is currently a discussion awaiting feedback here; please provide your input there. There are many things to be done for the project, in an attempt to exemplify its best work. Below is a list of tasks, and guidelines:
Tasks and Gudelines
Please try to follow these tasks to the best of your abilities. As with any guideline, there may be exceptions, so use common sense when applying them.
Character Pages
Ensure that each character page has this section order:
Shorten character storylines, using {{Cite episode}} to reference episodes, and break down season sub-section headers into just one section, "Storylines".
Keep an eye out for vandalism, as that tends to occur at that page.
General
Many users and IPs have been erasing "surgical resident" from fifth year residents characters' occupations in infoboxes and at List of Grey's Anatomy characters. This should all be held off until more info is given on their current occupation in the season premiere. Revert if you see this, and if it's persistent; warn users.
Some IPs/Users have been changing Lexie Grey's article as well as Callie Torres, going against MOS. Revert if you see this, and try to explain to the IP/User why this is wrong.
Weekly Initiative!
The weekly initiative this week is to create a non-existent/redirect Grey's Anatomy episode article, using the relevant guidelines above! Model your article off of a Grey's Anatomy episode article with GA status. Use your Misplaced Pages skills to research information, copyedit, remove unreferenced claims, and add pictures! Barnstars will be awarded to any user who creates a well-sourced article, that has a quality of at least 'start'! To determine the quality, ask a member of the administrative board to review your article; please do not change the article's quality yourself. Take part in this initiative, have fun creating an article, feel proud after the article you created is existent, and be rewarded with barnstars! Help make a difference and get started! Furthermore, if you notice that any user has participated in any weekly initiative and was not rewarded, give them a barnstar ASAP!
Have fun, and don't forget to cite everything you write! We hope to see several expanded articles soon!

Hi Tate, thank you for agreeing to serve as monitor of WikiProject Grey's Anatomy, and better help out the community. This message is to inform you of the duties associated with the position. As monitor, you are in charge of monitoring all pages within the scope of WikiProject Grey's Anatomy. The pages you need to watch are the main page, the episode list, the character list, the cast list, the awards list, each season and character (full list can be seen here), and each episode. To find all the episodes, go to the episode list (each episode with a link you need to watch). If you notice that one of the pages you are watching has been vandalized, please rollback the edit, and warn the user/IP. If consistent vandalizing occurs, either (a) report the user/IP to WP:AIV, or (b) if it is multiple IPs vandalizing, request semi-protection of the page at WP:RPP. If someone adds unsourced/copyrighted information to a page, please revert with a good-faith message, and explain to the user/IP on their talk page (preferably with a twinkle template) why the edit was inappropriate. If the user/IP continues to add the unsourced/copyrighted content after being given a final warning, please report the user/ip to WP:ANI. If several users are edit warring across a page(s), please warn both users/IPs, and if they don't stop, report them to WP:AN/EW. Further, if you suspect any editor/IP is committing sockpuppetry, or has a conflict of interest, please report them to the relevant page. To notify other board members of your position, please place {{User ABoard Grey's}} somewhere on your user page, which will automatically add you to Category:WikiProject Grey's Anatomy administrative board members.
Hi, again. I think the DVD release section should be removed. You said it yourself before; there will be no DVD released for the show. N/As on other lists are for shows where some seasons were released on DVDs. This show never had a DVD; it is misleading to readers to have N/a; the information is available. N/A represents unknown information, but the information is known that there is no DVD. Just as it was removed from Awake, I think it should be removed here. I hope you understand why it should be removed, TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 01:51, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
But, to answer your original question. I don't really know if it should stay or go. We should probably develop some consensus before making those changes. TBrandley01:55, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Oh my god! I am so dumb today, lol! Well being that you are the primary contributor, I will leave it up to you. I, however, see no point in its existence. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 01:59, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi again, Tate. I was wondering if you used the article assessment feature? I started using it a while ago, and find it extremely helpful. When you go to an article, the title of the article changes to the assessment's color (green for GA, blue for FA, etc.), and gives notes about the article's quality, status directly below. To use it, click on 'my preferences', then 'gadgets', then scroll down to the 'appearance' header, then select "Display an assessment of an article's quality as part of the page header for each article. (documentation)"-- it's the 14th feature in the list. Then click 'save' at the bottom. The feature will then be active. There is usually a delay of a few hours when the article's quality is changed, or it becomes a nominee for something. It's really cool. I am writing this because I was wondering if any other users utilize this awesome feature. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know! I've never seen it before; it looks like a great feature. I have activated it, but, as you said, it might take a while to start working. It is cool. Cheers! TBrandley03:45, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
Need to have another look at it, given it is an extensive article. Hopefully I'll get back and post more comments later this week. Lemonade51 (talk) 00:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Awake's FAC has been open for a month now; hopefully it will garner some supports. I've seen so many FACs closed because even though there was no consensus not to promote, there was also no consensus to promote. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 00:17, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
I know. I'm really trying to get some more editors to review the article. Do you know of anyone? Regards. That happened with M.Mario's FA, Poppy Meadow, then he contacted the FA director, then asked. The director said that he could nominate it again with the two week limit, and M.Mario got permission. That being said, if this fails (oh no! :(; I will contact an FA director, and ask about it. Thanks for coming here! TBrandley00:22, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
I don't think you need more reviewers; quite a few users reviewed the article. What you need is for those reviewers to either support/oppose. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 00:26, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
You right; suppose so. Logical Fuzz (talk·contribs) hasn't look through the whole article; it was just a quick comment, so, that shouldn't hopefully effect anything. Nikimaria (talk·contribs) never supports or opposes, and it normally works out fine; he has noted that on his page. My goal is to try and get Lemonade or Grapple supporting. Cheers, TBrandley00:30, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
To note, I will not brother asking Maria, or Fuzz to support/oppose, as Maria only does source reviews; always has, and as stated above, never supports, doesn't really change the result. Plus, Fuzz, was only there to leave a quick comment, so. TBrandley00:40, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
I know. That is crazy, furthermore, I wasn't online for most of the day here. Guess I make a lot of minor edits, oh, and big edits that are not minor. :) 1,000 is one week; that is crazy. :) Thanks! TBrandley01:21, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Congrats, and great work; cool. I'd be there, but, I've only been here since November 2011 (when I made stupid edits :( Lol), I can't. :( Lol again. Thanks, TBrandley01:27, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
I like the way you developed your user page! The introduction text resembles my user page a lot ;) I also did not know you were a young editor. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 06:11, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi TBrandley, just to let you know I've left a couple of comments regarding flags and linking (noting that there are two different styles used in FLs) and was wondering if you could comment. Thanks. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:22, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
The past is the past. The fact that he was once blocked for edit warring doesn't mean he loses the ability to warn others for the same. RyanVesey20:32, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Three block in three weeks, all this year, tells the story. Anyone can warn anyone about anything, but without established credibility it doesn't mean anything. It would be like someone habitually charged with DWI issuing warnings to others about driving drunk. It can't be taken seriously. Will I find any blocks in your history, Ryan? --76.189.121.5 (talk) 20:46, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
TBrandley has made over 10,000 edits to Misplaced Pages. His credibility is not in question. Trying to point score off his block history won't work, and before even trying to do that, you should make sure that your own history is squeaky clean. You have a demonstrated history of attacking other editors after only 10 edits and managed to breach 3RR on your ninth. You only managed to avoid a block for making eight reverts because I had requested the page be protected. Does that mean your credibility is in serious question? And really, this is highly inappropriate. You need to start assuming good faith. --AussieLegend (talk) 21:03, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
If he's made over 10,000 edits, then he has absolutely no excuse for recently getting blocked three times in three weeks. You should've thought about that comment before you posted it. --76.189.121.5 (talk) 21:48, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Any recent blocks have absolutely nothing to do with your edit-warring at Hotel Hell. You need to stop playing the blame game and get on with editing in a collaborative and constructive manner. --AussieLegend (talk) 02:56, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
Yes, it means "absolutely nothing" that someone who's made 10,000+ edits has been blocked three times in three weeks. Or that you and your group of collluding editors reverted nine times in two hours today. You keep telling yourself those things if it helps you sleep better. We're enjoying your pathetic denials and hilarious, non-sensical posts. (We see from your post that "your" is supposed to be bolded. Hahaha) Anyway, please give us more. You're great entertainment. --76.189.121.5 (talk) 03:25, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
IP, you're breaching towards a personal attack here. Regardless of what happened in the past, TBrandley is a good editor. Your edits were being reverted because you had no consensus to back your changes, and you were going against WP:LEAD. I suggest instead of criticizing others' edits, you take this time to review some of Misplaced Pages's key policies including those on civility, edit warring, consensus, and personal attacks.
