Wishing you all the best for x-mass and miss you as always. Thought what happened to you this year was shocking, but not surprising, and I notice, frankly, that karma has come around. Keep on fighting the good fight my dear. Ceoil (talk) 19:12, 16 December 2018 (UTC) |

You deserve this by now. I've not spoken to a single editor who deserves this more than you. Your work on 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis has been a massive contribution to this project. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 22:31, 9 February 2019 (UTC) |
- Oh, Matthew ... how ever so kind of you. Thank you so much! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:02, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's nothing compared to the work you do! I think I just saw 20 edits from you fly by on my watchlist. Seriously some good work right there. ―Matthew J. Long -Talk-☖ 03:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
- Be careful about counting my edits ... they are usually trivialities, and I often take three edits to accomplish what I should in one! Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:09, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Ancient FAC history question
I'm guessing you're the most likely person to be able to answer this. I've been gathering statistics on old FACs, and indexing multiple FACs by the archive number -- these three: Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/61_Cygni/archive1, Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/61_Cygni/archive2, and Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/61_Cygni/archive3, for example. Looking at the April 2009 featured log, I see that not all the archives have the number. For example, Magic Johnson's successful FAC is at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Magic Johnson, but the prior unsuccessful ones are at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Magic Johnson/archive1 and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Magic Johnson/archive2. So is it the case that the rule used to be that the current FAC always had no "archiveN" added to it, but a new FAC required you to move the last FAC to an archive page? That would account for what I'm seeing.
Hope you're doing well, by the way; I don't bump into you here often but I'm glad to see you're still around. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 23:22, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hey Mike! I am just heading out for about an hour, but will look at this as soon as I'm home ... good to "see" you! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:44, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, Mike Christie, the short answer is yes, exactly as you called it. The long answer is: it used to be that we only moved a FAC to an archive when a subsequent FAC presented. That system was a WRECK, since the nominators weren't always the same, and they didn't know what to do with the old FAC when the subst's submission brought it up, and I was always having to call in an admin to fix messes. One day, Gimmetrow had a stroke of genius combined with the coding skills to fix the problem, and he changed the system to one where the subst for submitting a new FAC would automatically assign the next archive number. I thought we had gone back and fixed all the old FACs that had no archive number, but I guess we didn't. Does that answer the question?
The crisis in Venezuela drug me back :) Take care, and keep up the great work ! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:12, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
- That does answer the question; thanks. For my purposes I can just assume that any unnumbered archive is the latest in the list, and I can make my lists work with that. Whatever the reason, I'm glad you're editing; good luck with that article, though I suspect you won't be bringing it to FAC any time soon! All the best.

DYK for Fabiana Rosales
On 22 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Fabiana Rosales, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Venezuelan journalist Fabiana Rosales (pictured) has assumed the role of international ambassador, soliciting support for her husband's opposition party and the crisis in Venezuela? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fabiana Rosales. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Fabiana Rosales), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
