Bruce Rappaport
The Bruce Rappaport at this article is not an attendee of the University of Chicago from what I can make (and would have been 40 at the time), so that definitely is a different person. I am also fairly sure that this said Bernie Sanders, not Bruce Rappaport last time I checked it (even though it says Bruce Rappaport now), so this should be further investigated.

- If I recall, the university did some research and later concluded that it wasn't Bernie, especially now that the photo is making the rounds under the assumption that it is Bernie. (Article about it.) Even if the image links to the wrong article, the person in the image is not Bernie per the source. That should be changed. It doesn't make sense to undo the edit just because it links to the wrong Bruce. Change the link to a redlink if necessary, like Bruce Rappaport (University of Chicago alumni) or something.

- (edit conflict) You be right; this article indicates that they were two similar-looking alumni. This photograph (also displayed in the TIME article) of Sanders shows the similarity. Dustin (talk) 01:46, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Note: You just edited your comment. That article you linked was not in the comment I was replying to. Dustin (talk) 01:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- As a fair-use image, the aforementioned file will end up being deleted, as the Bruce Rappaport in question does not have an article. Dustin (talk) 01:49, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

FAC voluntary mentoring scheme
During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.
Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton (talk) 18:32, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
