Five TFA's in a row

By George, I got it! ;-) Ruhrfisch ><>° 00:59, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I enjoyed it! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:37, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Glad you liked it - and don't forget thanks are due to Crisco 1492 for playing along at POTD, too. Bencherlite 20:24, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
Happy to extend thanks ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

A TFA theme idea

Just as a thought, since you seem to like running themed TFAs in sequence (The recent Georges, and I recall the Eagles too), I had a flick through FANMP and had the idea of running a group of royal-but-not-royal articles. Just searching for King, Queen etc. on that page we can get an animal, a musical, a video game (or 3), a court case, a battlecruiser (well, several naval ships really), a famous scientist, an Australian soldier, a Ska Punk album... this is all just by article title, I'm sure there are more by description. I'm willing to go through these and look for some date relevance if it'd help at all. Just random ideas from a reader. :) Organics 11:17, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for that idea, OrganicsLRO. I have a similar one, in fact, but I won't run it until sometime in 2014, once I've found a suitable range of dates to use. (Running TFA "themes" too close together would diminish their impact). If you have particular suggestions / dates in mind, then I suggest you email me - let's keep an element of surprise!

GFN

With regard to the use of the word presbytery, nobody has been able to demonstrate what exactly is meant by the existing sources, but since it appears to have no demonstrable link with GFN anyway, current consensus seems to be to remove the offending section completely. Bear in mind that last 5 November, GFN got almost 420,000 page views. Parrot of Doom 10:12, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Unprotected. No doubt it will need semi-protection in a few days anyway... Bencherlite 13:27, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Eric Corbett

No point in this bushfire being allowed to spark off again.

I'm not sure what your connection is to this entrenched user, but I'm not sure how people can look the other way at comments like this by him: and . This isn't helpful to anyone. :bloodofox: (talk) 18:34, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

(watching) I don't know what "entrenched" means but can testify that Eric Corbett always treated me politely, - but then so did I treat him. It's easy. - Go up and down my talk page and his and the archives if you don't believe it. Start top of his, "We need a perspective", written mid of 2012. We still do, and looking for certain words is not it. - It would have been polite to tell him that you use his name as a header here ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:23, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Volubilis

Thanks for your kind words - I see you've scheduled the article already (which is fine, btw). I just hope it doesn't prompt some nutter to start complaining about Misplaced Pages being used to boost Moroccan tourism! Prioryman (talk) 21:31, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

I saw it then thought, what the heck, let's schedule it now rather than wait for you to ask. After all, even if you're not sponsored by the Roman Empire to promote its ruins, I am... Bencherlite 21:36, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
Fair enough, but they're not paying enough for my liking - when they only offered asses I gave them the bum's rush... Prioryman (talk) 23:25, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Check this edit summary by Cluebot

Hi, I know this sounds stupid but see this Cluebot edit summary here...it says reverted to last version by you but clearly it meant an anonymous IP. Is this some sort of bug? It happened again a few times for some other article revisions like this one and a few others. -Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:20, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

How curious. I am obvious Cluebot's new best friend... Bencherlite 22:56, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
I've now added to the report about Cluebot misbehaving at WP:AN. Bencherlite 23:06, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
