==New FL criteria discussion: Final phase==
Hello, I think we've hammered out a good revised Featured List criteria [[Wikipedia talk:Featured list criteria#Revised criteria IV|here]]. If this passes, there will be quite a few FLs (my estimate is somewhere between 60 and 75) that could soon be delisted just because of 3b. With that in mind, I'd like to get comments and opinions from all FLC regulars and everyone else who has participated in the discussion before it's implemented. Thanks, [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]<sup>[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]</sup> 17:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

;<big>From the Judges</big>
What a brilliant finale to Round 1. With so little in it it was always going to be a tight contest, particularly in the all-important wildcard places. Congratulations to all those who have made it to Round 2, an commiserations to all who have been eliminated. I hope you continue to contribute as fully as you have been in the tournament, if not better!
As has been stated before, Round 2 begins '''Wednesday, April 1 2009.''' I hope you are all ready!

The Simpsons GACs
I was wondering if you are still interested in getting episodes up to GA quality? We could finish off Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons/Featured topic Drive/season 10 if you wanna help me. CTJF83Talk 08:09, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, sounds good! We can use all the help we can get from great editors like you! CTJF83Talk 08:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
RE: GameRankings
Why did you just go on my talk page and tell me that Gamerankings' R needs to be Capitalizied? Was it because I didn't do it on those two Metroid articles? Either way, its still the same. GamerPro64 (talk) 18:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- Fine, I'll capitialize the R. Happy!? GamerPro64 (talk) 21:46, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

The Special Barnstar | ||
I gladly give this Barnstar to Gary King, for going out of his way to help me on Michael Jackson and Thriller (album). It would have taken me hours to do it manually :) — R2 18:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC) |
Date script
I saw here that you said you wrote a script for converting dates. I am interested in changing the dates away from the ISO style in these 5 articles, but don't want to do it manually. Can you either run the script on those pages, or make the script public so I can do it. Many thanks, Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 13:20, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Brilliant, thanks! Just out of interest how did you do this (in layman's terms) and is this something that any Joe Bloggs editor like me could do, or is more complicated than simply importing a monobook script. Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 20:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
i have listed Calgary for a GAR but i need some help setting it up i know your really good with article and i would be grateful if you could help.Cheers Kyle1278 17:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
New FL criteria discussion: Final phase
Hello, I think we've hammered out a good revised Featured List criteria here. If this passes, there will be quite a few FLs (my estimate is somewhere between 60 and 75) that could soon be delisted just because of 3b. With that in mind, I'd like to get comments and opinions from all FLC regulars and everyone else who has participated in the discussion before it's implemented. Thanks, Scorpion0422 17:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
