Hi there, I just thought I'd drop you a note in reply to your question elsewhere about why [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Paul Gondjout/archive1|the Paul Gondjout FAC]] was closed. I can't speak for the FAC delegate of course, but having read the FAC page, it seems obvious that the article wasn't quite ready, and along with Blofeld above, I concur with the close. While I believe you would have worked hard to resolve the issues that were raised, I think in this case there were probably too many to warrant keeping it open while the all improvements were made. FAC probably shouldn't be the place for substantial article-(re)building anyway. I suggest a peer review before resubmission. That way, you can keep it open as long as the process takes, and invite members of various Wikiprojects to throw in their $0.02 at their leisure. All the best, [[User:Steve|<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">'''Steve'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Steve|T]] • [[Special:Contributions/Steve|C]]</sup> 09:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC) |

Confusions everywhere!
I've changed my username once again, this time its final. The "Lord" in LS was particularly annoying, and Sunday is already taken. Alas, this ne is pretty cool in itself. —Ceranthor (formerly LordSunday) · (Testify!) 15:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Earthquake
Talk:Earthquake/GA1 had no parent article; it was nominated as a G8 and deleted for that reason. Did I miss something? --Orange Mike | Talk 21:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
FA articles
Hi Ed. I hope you don't feel too down about recent events on here. That RFA nomination which I only saw after it was closed was not what you needed. Sorry to see all that monkey business. Remember that the more productive or passionate the editor in content, the less likely they will receive support. As for having to apologise to that editor for trying to take the article to FA, this is absolute rubbish. Creating and developing an article to a high standard is nothing to feel bad about however it is done. There are however some issues which affect the promotion of some of the articles to FA. The Paul article was clearly not ready for an FA nomination which is why I had to comment, even though I think very highly of your work as a wikipedian. I know you are very keen to get some FAs under your belt, but I think with the majority of African articles you do extremely well developing them to GA let alone FA. In the future I;d hope you have learned from recent events to be more cautious with FAs and not to nominate them unless you feel certain (and others) that it stands a great chance of passing. Now I genuinely thought the 1964 coup article was excellent and in other circunstances feel sure it would have passed eventually. All I can say is keep up the good work and see if you can devleop some more African articles to GA which is more than pleasing trust me.

PR request
Could you look over Nevado del Ruiz? I've been working and picking at it for a while, and I finally want to bring it to FAC. Thanks. —Ceranthor (formerly LordSunday) · (Testify!) 23:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Do you like the article? I'll get to the fixes tomorrow, if MAv has commented by then. —Ceran'thor [Formerly LordSunday] 00:18, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Palin all the way! Go girl power! Yay for the female race, which I am not a member of! P.S. Everyone knows McCain will win. P.P.S. Everyone at my school is voting McCain. P.P.P.S. - Shell Yea!—Ceranthor [Formerly LordSunday] 00:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- Whatever. Check out my userpage! It's pimped out! —Ceranthor [Formerly LordSunday] 00:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
