The first chart denotes the status of current requests for adminship and requests for bureaucratship, and is automatically updated by Cyberbot I. If the chart has only the title rows, it means there are no requests of one or both types.

Fullmetal Alchemist live action actors
Did you find a source to include the actors? If so, just tell me and I'll add them to the article. After all both Edward and Alphonse are GA and need to have everything sourced. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 00:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Archiving noticeboards
Thanks very much for your help in archiving noticeboard threads. If you would, please remember that noticeboard threads need to stay visible at least 24 hours after they are closed, in order to insure that all participants and interested parties are able to view the close and its instructions. Editors live in time zones all over the world, and also have varying sleep, work, and log-in schedules (especially during the weekend), so 24 hours is the least amount of time something needs to stay visible on the boards. The best way to calculate the 24-hour window is to Google utc time, and then subtract one day from that, and then only archive threads that were closed before that date/time. Thanks again, Softlavender (talk) 04:15, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- I understand. I was only trying to help, maybe really old threads that are past 24 hours need to have one-click archived? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 04:41, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, that was my point: They can be archived if they are more than 24 hours past close (using UTC time, not your local time, to verify) -- but not before. Thanks, Softlavender (talk) 05:04, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Dale Earnhardt
Hey, not sure if you're still planning to take this to GAN and/or FAC, but if you are, I came across this new book today at Barnes and Noble. If you're willing to drop a few dollars on this project, it may contain some valuable information that can be used to expand and improve the article. Cheers, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 01:16, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:59, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
The Gambler
I tweaked the budget to reflect the range as reported by the LA times, which said the budget was "about $25 million" and the amount reported in the Feature Film Study, which shows the exact spend at $31 million, as audited by the California Film Commission. This same feature film report has been covered by the LA Times for the past two years. In any event, the movie infobox page clearly states that numbers are not to be cherry picked and, where there is a difference, to include both in a range. So that's what I did. I trust this will be a reasonable compromise? Depauldem (talk) 18:29, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
