I've just read most of your essay, "A fool's guide to writing a featured article", which I found highly enlightening and entertaining! An article I'm currently working on, [[Elaine Paige]], has been put up for a [[Wikipedia:Peer review/Elaine Paige/archive1|peer review]] by myself, but it hasn't really sparked much interest. I was wondering that if you had some time to spare (I know time is always of the essence here on Wikipedia) could you perhaps briefly skim the article and give some suggestions for improvement? If I'm feeling brave enough, I might even nominate it for FAC, it depends really. If you haven't the time, then no worries. Many thanks.

And now for something completely different
- Did you have that flapping bird facing to the right before? Did you, in short, flip the bird? Utgard Loki (talk) 12:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- It's the rampant/sinister FAC criteria Loki - I believe the bird is now sinister. --Joopercoopers (talk) 12:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps so, but I was worrying about my own Norwegian blue who ain't moved at all since I got him, and I thought your bird had been flipping all about the flippin' cage. Utgard Loki (talk) 13:02, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry. It occurs to me that my comment probably unhelped someone. They had been aided entirely, but then my reference to Monty Python unhelped them. Utgard Loki (talk) 18:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Unhelpful commentary removed
[2] I've removed your comments because the only purpose they served was to cause more drama. If you don't like someone, that's fine, but try to keep it out of otherwise productive discussions. EVula // talk // ☯ // 15:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- When I wish a comment removed, you will be asked to do so, until that happy day kindly mind your own business and don't be impertinent. If people wish to comment on drama that is fine, but they should not be surprised when it is pointed to them, that they are often the cause of it. Please do not return to this page until you have leart how to research and check facts! Thank you. Giano (talk) 18:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- I had forgotten about my comment to 1=2 last night, but now I have started to think about it - and it occurs to me that if the Arbcom were ever brave enough to address the problem of "editors" like him causing disruption on Wikipedia by stirring the shit in the Admins private IRC chatroom, then the whole site would be a better place. Alas, the Arbs are not prepared to follow their own decisions and voting because as one of their number says they think "there is no problem." Do we all believe that? - No, but what happens? Ill-informed people like you turn up saying "don't talk to 1=2 like that! and there is the crux of Wikipedia's problems. Giano (talk) 18:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- All I'm asking is that you stop being combative for the sake of being combative. I know you're smart enough to know better, and it's very disappointing to see you attack someone in a very left-fielded way in a moderately unrelated discussion.
