WT:FAC

Hello Lee, happy "time of the year" to you, and I hope you're well. There's (yet) another discussion over Wikicup and FAC going on at the above, and one of your review comments has been brought up as an example. I don't believe you've been pinged and I think the ping I added probably won't work, so I thought I'd just let you know, so that you can correct any fallacious assertions being made about you or your approach or (once again) the Wikicup in general. Cheers, take care. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:50, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I'd have not seen it otherwise. Happy to change my wording or come up with a compremise to my message, but it's a bit odd not being messaged about it.Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski 12:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Well yes, and the fact that your approach was mis-represented at the outset of that discussion wasn't really suitable either. Bad form. Glad you opined. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 12:21, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

The irony is that I didn't actually have a message to this effect until I had to denote my participation in the cup. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski 12:51, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

That's a LOL moment. Cheers, and happy new year! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:08, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

I just want to make it clear that my participation in that discussion is not aimed at anybody in particular, but is just the result of my minority belief that the review request is better on a talk page. And yes, I think I do remember breaking that once. No offense intended from anything said there. Hog Farm _Bacon 23:55, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Lee, that "discussion" has at last been closed down. I can't imagine it will be the last time it's brought up and I just hope next time the picture is painted fairly. I'm sorry that you were falsely accused of demanding a review before you would give one, it just shows how out of touch some people are. My advice, for what it's worth, just drop the phrase QPQ as that seems to have been the touch point for some people. Otherwise, good luck with your nominations, I look forward to reviewing them (with absolutely NO requirement for you to review mine, unless you feel like it!!) Cheers, and happy new year. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:31, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I did change my boiler plate the moment someone told me it was an issue - it's at user:Lee Vilenski/FA Template. I don't really see how having a link to your nominated articles is any worse on the nomination page than a ping or talk page message. If there is more on that message that needs tuning, let me know. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski 09:55, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I think the issue at hand is the incorrect interpretation of the literal requirements of a QPQ. Because of DYK's use of it, whereby an article must be reviewed as part of the promotion process, that's how some individual's are choosing to interpret it in the FAC context, despite your previous clear wording. The whole discussion is completely muddled and without focus: Ceoil tried to get things back on track and that was sadly and summarily de-railed once again. What is clear is that any issue with your approach is coming from a minuscule minority so I'd just carry on carrying on. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 10:32, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. I will leave some comments for anyone who is active on FAC, that I make no attempt to do anything against the rules, and more than willingly have my contributions strutinised. I would rather have someone send me something (a diff or general topic) to my talk so I can figure out what the issues actually are, and change my setup in a corresponding way. I will reach out to anyone who may or may not have an issue with my current approach, as I would rather not have any more topics about this - unless it is to gain a consensus on if leaving a link to my nominations page is unsuitable. I don't want the aggro, I do want the process to work smoothly. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski 13:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
