Edward III of England Featured article review

I have nominated Edward III of England for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, it's no big deal, but aren't articles added to the list by bot? Just a little surprising to see a mistaken date when you're used to bots doing it. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 16:57, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, they are added by hand. Hence you get occasional human error. Sorry about that. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:02, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem, it just confused me. Thought there were scripts at least. It wasn't so much annoyance at it happening as confusion as to how it could happen. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 17:20, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FAC hasn't been fully closed and bot processed

On Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Koryo Ilbo/archive1, one that you closed. (t · c) buidhe 09:10, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Buidhe. Now sorted. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:04, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings and...

Greetings Gog the Mild! Never manage to get round to thanking you for keeping an eye out for mis pages. But as they say, ain't no time like the present! BTW, love that lunch break of yours! Wish I were there... Cheers!--Technopat (talk) 20:40, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Technopat, I appreciate that. But I have to ask - what is a mis page? Gog the Mild (talk) 20:05, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Got me there! Possibly meant to be something like "mistakes on my pages"? But your guess is as good as mine... probably better! Mis fingertips sometimes get the better of me. Regrads (sic), --Technopat (talk) 11:58, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mick Jagger TFA

Hi Gog the Mild! You helped me out with Paint It Black's TFA, which I am forever grateful for. I was wondering if you could help me write the blurb etc. for Mick Jagger? I think his 80th birthday on July 26th would be a good date? TheSandDoctor Talk 18:39, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. A tricky one. I have had to trim out a bit more than I would have preferred to get under the limit, but see what you think. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:38, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! The difficulty with this one is simply the fact that he has done so much stuff. It would be a much easier TFA nomination statement if Wikipedia were around in the '60s... TheSandDoctor Talk 23:52, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Inverkeithing scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the Battle of Inverkeithing article has been scheduled for July 20, 2023. Thanks Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:29, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

my story today

Congratulations, and thank you today for Battle of Lake Trasimene, introduced: "The latest in my series of nominations of articles from the Punic Wars. In this battle, Hannibal arrives in Roman Italy and inflicts 100% casualties on a Roman army in a single day. A defeat simply begging for an adjective."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:11, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FACs that could use a look over from a coord?

Gog (and Ian Rose and Buidhe) - I regret that my work life becoming very busy lately has meant that it's probably been over a month since I've looked over the whole FAC list. Please email or ping me or whatever if there's something where some limited time to look over would be helpful. Things will probably get even busier for me in July, but I'm hoping in mid-August or early September things will lighten up. Hog Farm Talk 21:22, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have covid

hi, now I have covid, presumably caught during 16 hour layover at airport. I'm burning up and weak.please just archive the nom. I genuinely appreciate your time and trouble. I will probably try again in a few weeks. maybe. Also for Dudley Miles, thank you for your kind efforts.  § Lingzhi (talk|check refs) 21:25, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
