Misplaced Pages

HAPPY NEW YEAR This is Carcassonne in southern France where I spent Christmas, safely away from Wiki temptations. Back to work now. I hope you have a great year in 2010 for writing, reviewing, or whatever takes your fancy. Always willing to help when I can. Brianboulton (talk) 23:08, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Lists and notablity

Regarding your argument here:

and no argument is ever made as to why such lists would ever be notable.

I'm not sure when Misplaced Pages made a policy that lists must be 'notable'. Could you point out the relevant section from WP:Lists which states lists must be notable? --Matt57 12:53, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm still waiting for your response. Could you please respond? --Matt57 15:24, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, Matt, I made my comment on the AfD, and have nothing to add. It would be better to continue discussion there. SlimVirgin 03:10, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

'48

Hi SlimVirgin,
A happy New Year 2010 to you and your familly :-).
About this sentence :

Israel's military action occurred within the context of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, triggered when five Arab states invaded the area following its declaration of independence on May 14.

It is quite poved : did they invade the area following (ie as a consequence of) the declaration of independence ? Is this really the event that triggered the war ? Did 5 Arab states intervened ? I would remove this because in the lead, its removal doesn't reduce the understanding and the text.
When will the article be reviewed for FA status ?
(nb: answer here and not on my talk page, please). Ceedjee (talk) 19:19, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Ceedjee, good to say your name, and Happy New Year to you. :) I'll take a look at that sentence. I'd like to try to get that article to FAC after I finish my current nomination, which is here, in case you have any interest. SlimVirgin 07:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

I go back to my retirement. FYI, look at the first things I wrote this morning (on Nableezy talk's page) : . Cheers, Ceedjee (talk) 12:15, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

FAC

Wow, the FAC discussion is a bloated mess already. Sounds like this could take some time. ← George 09:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

text files

• Hi. If you're gonna do FACs on highly controversial topics, I have a suggestion: As you go along, get every single one of your printed sources copy/pasted to separate text files, and store them all in the same folder on your computer. Then, if someone challenges something, you're just a single search away from any particular text.• Ling.Nut 12:14, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

reliable source question

G'day Slim - I have recollections that you're clever about this sort of thing, so I wanted to ask you, if you have a spare moment, for any thoughts you might have about this question I just dropped in to the reliable sourcing noticeboard - hopefully you'll agree it's an interesting one :-) Privatemusings (talk) 21:31, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
