Advice...

On Talk:James Stuart, Duke of Cambridge/GA1... I'm really not comfortable passing this article with its current sourcing... but I don't want to be accused of "gaming" wikicup either... any advice? Ealdgyth - Talk 14:40, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

No, you're fine IMHO. Using older sources + the diary, which is a primary source, is problematic for even GA. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 20:52, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

And something else...

I think the bot may be off on figuring multiplyers for Wikicup.... here it gives me 3x for Middle Ages but ... looking at the 31 December 2011 version I count 109 wikilinks - which should be a 4x multipler? It didn't make any difference on the last round but... Ealdgyth - Talk 14:54, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

This is completely my fault (it was a simple off-by-one error on a loop). The consequence was that all 4x articles were being reported as 3x, but I'm thinking (hoping) you were the only one that got a 4x promoted. Should be fixed now but won't be back-dated, alas. - Jarry1250 ^{[Deliberation needed]} 10:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm not that worried, Jarry - your bot is incredible and these things happen... Ealdgyth - Talk 12:37, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Well, all's well that ends well I guess, and the bot is fixed now :) - Jarry1250 ^{[Deliberation needed]}

FPC help, please

Hi. Will you take a look at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/1929 Belgian banknote redux? It's been open for a long time. I haven't closed it because of the copyright concerns. Since you've worked with OTRS and copyright stuff, I'd appreciate it if you could give the nom a look and, possibly, the J Milburn Stamp of Approval. Everything looks fine to me, but I'm reluctant to promote the image until I see someone say that it's fine. Thanks!! Makeemlighter (talk) 00:43, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Question

Is there a policy against or something for someone to take your comments from a talk page put them on their user page and make responses to them therefore preventing you from replying or something? Seems a bit aggravating.. hehe.. (ex. User:Wekn_reven_i_susej_eht does just this). — raekyt 13:59, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
