Unfortunate episodes surrounded this election. Greeley's wife Mary had returned ill from a trip to Europe and her condition worsened in October, that Greeley broke off campaigning after October 12 to be with her.

    Humor. # - ( because 38 entries FP are too many. It said for quite while: Hafspajen (talk) 22:17, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
    Yeah. I saw that joke during the copyedit, and ran with it. I think there's another similar joke in here somewhere where a sentence got left unfinished. Adam Cuerden 11:09, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
    • How do you select the featured articles to be shown here? You claim that two articles have been promoted this week, but there is at least a third one, Shepseskare, which became featured the 28th of February. I was kind of expecting to see it in the new Signpost.... Iry-Hor (talk) 21:51, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
    • Well it is not so important, but it is true that until now I thought the articles displayed were those promoted in the week prior to the Signpost and not two weeks prior. Something like "became featured between the 21st of February and the 28th of February" would be more accurate. I feel like the "last week" thing would still have me believe the articles date to the week immediately preceding the Signpost. Iry-Hor (talk) 14:07, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
    We do say that, but only under the first image. Adam Cuerden 14:45, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
    • Wow, nice writeup about my anthology FL! Props to whichever editor knew so much about the fantasy field to put in all those details. --PresN 22:15, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
