TFA reminder

President
USS President was a nominally rated 44-gun wooden-hulled, three-masted heavy frigate of the United States Navy. President was one of the original six frigates whose construction the Naval Act of 1794 had authorized, and she was the last to be completed. Her first duties with the newly formed United States Navy were to provide protection for American merchant shipping during the Quasi War with France and to defeat the Barbary pirates in the First Barbary War. On 16 May 1811, President was at the center of the Little Belt Affair when her crew mistakenly identified HMS Little Belt as HMS Guerriere, which was sought after for impressing an American seaman. The ships exchanged cannon fire for several minutes resulting in Little Belt suffering great damage. Subsequent U.S. and Royal Navy investigations placed responsibility for the attack on the other ship. The incident contributed to tensions between the U.S. and Great Britain that led to the War of 1812. (more...)

Emergency tow vessel

First of all, Merry Christmas! I see you've re-assessed Emergency tow vessel and found it lacking references. As there are currently 38 inline references throughout all sections I'm wondering what else should be sourced to have this article lifted to B class. It would be helpful if you could add {{citation needed}} where you think it necessary. Regards, De728631 (talk) 18:24, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for having another look at it. De728631 (talk) 18:57, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Jefferson

I think the content of the "J-H controversy" summary is settled. While there was a separate section for the placement, it got overlooked. I moved it again to the bottom of the page. We are trying to decide where to place "Marriage and family" and "Jefferson-Hemings controversy" sections on the Thomas Jefferson page. If interested please join us on the talk page to help resolve the issue. See section labeled "Call for opinion on placement" of these sections. Parkwells (talk) 16:35, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about this, I got confused. You've already stated your support for a "Personal life" section. I agree that something better might develop.Parkwells (talk) 16:39, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously?

Your most recent comment here was way out of line. I appreciate that you're taking the time to engage at FAR, but being combative doesn't help. If you want to disagree with Bishonen/Rex, you can do so civilly. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:57, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bishonen has requested that you strike your comment. Would you be willing to do this? Nikkimaria (talk) 19:03, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nope; not striking. Considering that I've been told to Fuck off twice and am often attacked just for making a nomination, I see no reason why I should. Brad (talk) 08:56, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Brad, I think the issue Nikki has here is with the comment towards Bishonen/Rex, rather than other peoples' comments towards you in other FARs? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 09:15, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ed, that's the point. While I ignore behavior much worse than the norm I don't go around demanding admin intervention. The fact that Bishonenon became hysterical over the word "drones" and demanded that Nikkimaria block and chastise me or else it was going to ANI is completely and totally ridiculous and nothing short of threatening admins. The fact that Nikkimaria drank the kool-aid and hurried over here claiming that my behavior "was way out of line" for using such a lame (as compared to fuck you / fuck off) word as "drones" is just another example of the ridiculousness of the whole episode. And WP wonders why editor retention is such a problem. Brad (talk) 22:00, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is ridiculous, hence if you just ignore it, no action would be taken. :-) Don't stoop to the same level, though, alright? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 01:00, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Meh. It'd be great if everyone could "drink the kool-aid" and agree about everything, but that isn't going to happen, particularly at a process like FAR. I've no intention of blocking you over the episode, and you should feel free to yell type angrily at me if that's what you want to do, but I would appreciate it if everyone (not just you, but this thread is a convenient soapbox) could limit review commentary to commentary related to the actual review to avoid the interpersonal issues entirely. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:25, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've no reason to type angrily at you. I believe you were put in a difficult situation so in order to appease the loudest screamer you posted here. My comment about editor retention is geared more towards those editors who make mountains out of molehills and create shrill drama. Usually this behavior has a way of distracting from the issue at hand: the article. On those occasions where an editor/s are sincerely dedicated to keeping an article featured, I'm more than happy to help out. When their objective is to argue point/s and refuse to see any problems at all with the article and attack WP policies, I lose any willingness to help out. And I admit to being snarky (among other things) but that's just me. Brad (talk) 07:00, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FAR

I apparently have seasonal affective disorder. Most winters I just don't feel like doing much. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:48, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

K then. I thought you might comment on some of the older FARC though. Seems like 6-8 months is becoming the norm these days. Brad (talk) 22:00, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know

It may be almost a month since you (with The Ed17) chased Bish from the Project, and too late to do anything about it, but this is a request on your talk page, reiterating what I posted to WT:FAR,[1] to refrain from such posts in the future, and to improve your tone and nomination statements at FAR.

Timeline:
  1. 22:41, December 5, 2011 Brad responds to a FAR post with TLDR
  2. 13:04, January 1, 2012 Brad references "drones"
  3. 17:45, January 1, 2012 Bish queries "drones"
  4. 19:01, January 1, 2012 Nikkimaria warns (but note that Brad never struck)
  5. 19:31, January 1, 2012 The ed17-- an admin-- defends Brad
  6. 01:52, January 2, 2012 Bish mentions placating belligerant reviewer
  7. 07:11, January 2, 2012 Brad refers to Wicked Witch of the West and her Monkeys, The ed17 placates
  8. 08:56, 3 January 2012 Brad blames other editors for his outburst, refuses to strike (Are people really being told to "fuck off" at FAR, as well? This is getting worse and worse. Why is that Bishonen's problem?)
  9. 22:00, January 3, 2012 Brad refers to Bish as "Bitchonandon" and Nikkimaria "drinking the kool-aid"
  10. 23:52, January 3, 2012 Bish hibernates
  11. 01:00, January 4, 2012 Appallingly, but at this point not surprisingly, The Ed17 redacts and covers up the "bitch", with narry a warning, and then a statement that Brad shouldn't "stoop to that level", when Bish never went there. Love the deferential edit summary there.
  12. 20:27, January 4, 2012 Bish turns in bits, hasn't been back except one brief post
  13. 07:00, January 5, 2012 Not to be outdone, and even more disgustingly, Brad next changes The Ed's redaction from his earlier Bitchanondon to Bishonen BACK to Bishonenon and still receives no warning-- allowed to call her names even after he's chased her from the Project.

"Nazi" attack removed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:02, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
From this point forward anything you post here will be reverted. Brad (talk) 23:06, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The interesting thing is that no matter how many times I refute Sandy's claims, she continues to post the same summary all over the place. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
