    I see this is at FAR. I know you said you wanted to work on it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:24, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

    Cheers for the heads up. Still waiting for the book to come in at the mo, so may not be too much help until that comes in... - SchroCat (talk) 20:28, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
    Perhaps let Sandy G know you intend working on it, or do you think it's best it is delisted and goes through a proper peer review and FAC? I think it's probably best that it is delisted for that reason, not to offend the original writer, but times have changed. It looks a stronger article than the Judy Garland one though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:25, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

    Account hacking

    I received an email from Wikimedia today that 96.246.139.135 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) has been attempting the password reset process on my Misplaced Pages account. Obviously it hasn't succeeded, but I'm just letting you know should my account start doing weird stuff or anything out of character. Betty Logan (talk) 14:59, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

    Thanks for the heads-up. Probably best you keep an eye on your emails too if there are issues - may be an easierway to sort things out, if things start going pear shaped.- SchroCat (talk) 15:48, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

    TFL notification

    Hi, SchroCat. I'm just posting to let you know that Works of John Betjeman – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for February 13. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 23:21, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

    The Signpost: 21 January 2015

    Laurence Olivier

    Are you certain that "He intended to join the Royal Air Force ..."? Other sources (Spoto 2001, pp. 147–148) have him attempting to join the Fleet Air Arm, following in the wake of Ralph Richardson. The flying lessons he undertook at Santa Monica, California were in float planes. He was a rotten pilot and after 200 hours, was no better than a neophyte, ending his training with a crash. Vivien Leigh commented that he was the just as reckless in the air as he was on the ground, driving sports cars. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 19:17, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

    Soto is the least reliable of the biographers. - SchroCat (talk) 19:57, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
    Your source is ...? See images and article FWiW Bzuk (talk) 20:12, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
    My source is correct: you have not read the article properly, or have misinterpreted it. As per the article: "He intended to join the Royal Air Force" (my emphasis). It doesn't say he did, it says he intended to. If you read on, the remainder of the sentence says "and joined the Fleet Air Arm because Richardson was already in the service". - SchroCat (talk) 20:16, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
    Again, what source? See Beckett 2005, p. 147, Darlington 1968, pp. 56, 58. AFAIK, he always intended to go into the Fleet Air Arm, but then again, your source may have more information. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 20:12, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
    Coleman. As above, Spoto is the least reliable of the sources. - SchroCat (talk) 20:35, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
    Well, Coleman has the merit of writing an "authorised biography" and has at least two mentions of Olivier's intention to join the Royal Air Force, although all of his training was preparing him for a role as a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm, which likely came after he had decided to follow in the footsteps of his friend, who was also a disaster as a pilot. After two years, Olivier did resign his commission as a Lieutenant-Commander in the Fleet Air Arm. I did want to check on this as it was mentioned in the article on Vivien Leigh.

    Hello friend, please review this. And thank you very much for your help! Jim Carter 10:18, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

    No problem on the help. As o reviewing, as I am one of the FL delegates I rarely review the articles with the intent on supporting, to ensure that I am able to close or act on the nominations without the possibility of a conflict of interest. Thanks - SchroCat (talk) 10:26, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
    Ok. No problem. Do you think that the List will pass now? Any further advices. Jim Carter 10:34, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

    Hey

    How are you? I value your Wikipedian opinion, so I would like to ask if you think that I have been too detailed on this article please: Top 10 artists with the most number ones on the U.S. dance chart.  — ₳aron 19:42, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
