Tom, how would you feel about having a co-nom at FAC? There are a bunch of people who have worked on the article, any of them would be fine. I'm thinking that FAC (and A-class, for that matter) will go better if someone is around all the time to answer questions. - Dank (push to talk) 15:40, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Military history project ACRs for closure
Hi, sorry to bother you. We are currently having trouble finding an uninvolved co-ordinator to close a few ACRs. If you get a free moment, could you please take a look at the list at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators#ACRs for closure and close one if you are uninvolved? Cheers!

ViSalus
I was just typing up my response to another user tagging the ViSalus incorrectly as a scam (used a non-RS source to back that claim up). There are some RS to support the notability of the company. I don't believe speedy was the correct tag for this article, and had no time to respond before it was deleted. This should have been tagged with {{Primary sources}} not the notability tag.

- Anything else I need to do on my end? I did post this in Deletion Review with enough RS to establish notability. The editor that tagged it as speedy is going a little overboard on the AN/I section... Leef5 TALK | CONTRIBS 14:07, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Bahamut0013
Moonriddengirl and myself are discussing a way to honour the late Bahamut0013 on his user page aside from the traditional preserved userpage method. We began discussing at her talk page, and have since moved the discussion here. As you awarded one of the two posthumous barnstars planned for inclusion in this tribute, I thought you might be interested in the discussion. Feel free to participate in the discussion.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:4 strokes engine.gif
A tag has been placed on File:4 strokes engine.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
