That wasn't vandalism. I'm putting it back. Alarbus (talk) 09:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Warning

Re: Another approach would be to assign FA status outside their process. – such behavior will not be tolerated. Consider yourself warned. Raul654 (talk) 20:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Your empire does seem an intolerant bunch. Try assuming good faith. I consider myself amused. Alarbus (talk) 04:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

RE: Misplaced Pages:Featured articles/2012 RfC on FA leadership: Tea

Mistress Selina Kyle has given you a cup of tea. Tea promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day ever so slightly better.

Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a tea, especially if it is someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy!

Spread the lovely, warm, refreshing goodness of tea by adding {{subst:wikitea}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Glad to have you back (sips contentedly). Alarbus (talk) 20:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Biscuits aren't enough!

Thank you for your thoughtful comments and patient work on so many articles. Wehwalt (talk) 10:45, 6 February 2012 (UTC) You're /munch/ welcome. Alarbus (talk) 20:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Precious

	torch
	Thank you for holding up the torch for reformation, for elucidating love and study, for a free project that everybody can edit without petty restrictions, for peace, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:29, 17 February 2012 (UTC) Thank you very much Gerda. That's a keeper. Alarbus (talk) 15:23, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

The CCI is over, 719 of 729 articles found with no problems. Recommended reading: Great Dismal Swamp maroons, I added a quote: "These groups are very inspirational. As details unfold, we are increasingly able to show how people have the ability, as individuals and communities, to take control of their lives, even under oppressive conditions." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:26, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for attentive reading, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:11, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

You're welcome Gerda. Thanks for rescuing that. Alarbus (talk) 11:21, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Indeed. And I hope that we will soon be bringing it to FAC. After all, PumpkinSky has been vindicated. Perhaps we should do an intensive review of the articles of someone more favored than ps; I've got ideas there, after all, we can't be too careful. I trust, Gerda, you have left notes at AN and other places.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:41, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

I'll take it further, soon, then. I think the idea really is to have pages be their best before getting the bronze-star, instead of finding their way after the fact. Make a little list and I'll “peak” . Alarbus (talk) 12:13, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

(ec, you were faster) "AN and other places": Other places, yes, I mentioned it to all the reviewers involved, thanking them. AN, ARB: no. I feel very uneasy about those places where I tried to speak but was not understood. Will you do it, please? - What's "vindicated" in simple English? - I wrote an article for which I needed Witch trials in the Early Modern period. - I had a sad reason to issue Precious once more, follow the links, you will like it. - Before FAC, I will bring the maroons to DYK, they should be known! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:19, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

ps, for a smile: another of my articles with support from PumpkinSky appeared on the Main page yesterday and received 1111 hits, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:25, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

wikt:vindicated should get you started; justified, avenged or cleared of blame. DYK is apt, given the history. I'll leave it to Wehwalt to post to AN-and-ARB-ville; those shit holes are dangerous places. Of course our pages are watched and if you really want all and sundry to know, tell Jimmy. Will look at a few more of the links, too. Alarbus (talk) 12:42, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for improving my ref style (and the witch trials). Minor problem: as far as I know it doesn't work in German. This article is already on de and nominated today for "Schon gewusst?" (the modest DYK equivalent, where articles stay posted for 48 hours!) -- "and sundry" rings this bell: "What do admins do with socks? Hang them out to dry", the line that made BarkingMoon leave (which you will reach anyway following the links mentioned above). - I'll go and nominate the maroons right now, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Templates

Now I've tried them out, they are okay, but the date field still bugs me as it is awkwardly placed, is there any way to redraw/reformat the template to make the date appear after the publisher? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 04:11, 28 February 2012 (UTC).

I find the date well placed and it is done this way on some millions of pages. Having the date after the author makes sense to me. Alarbus (talk) 04:54, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
