Hi
Hi, are you online? You might be interested in this which requires updates at ITN. --Candlewicke ST # :) 10:48, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- It has been updated for now but it is the type of thing that is likely to change rapidly... --Candlewicke ST # :) 11:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry I wasn't online and I am quite busy with work at the moment. I will try to keep an eye on it, and pop over to ITN as much as I can. I do hope you will change your decision, and not leave ITN. You do great work then and your departure would be a big loss. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 13:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

You've capped all of your points, so would you care to support now? It's still open. ɳOCTURNEɳOIR ( t • c ) 22:31, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you might be interested in this discussion. -- Goodraise (talk) 15:26, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Re:Moves
I've done A–M on Category:Lists of awards by television series. Could you do the rest? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 20:45, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, done. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Excellent, thanks. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:04, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- WRT actors' lists, I don't feel like doing it today either. Let's split it up again, though. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- I did the rest of the lists in the actor category. That should cover most of them. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Now, if you really feel up to it, Category:2004 Summer Olympics events needs to be finished. I did A–R, but some of the most tedious ones are yet to come (swimming and shooting for example). Dabomb87 (talk) 22:19, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Done, but I think the IOC need to reconsider how many swimming events there are. Also I may be all moved out for a little while as I found that quite tedious. If only AWB did page moves... Rambo's Revenge (talk) 10:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- I intend to do one Olympics (Winter/Summer) per weekend. With two, it's manageable. With one, it's a stretch (and hurts your hand after all that repetitious motion). Anyway, thanks for all your help. I don't intend to do much more moving for the rest of the week. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:30, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Just a general question: What policy or discussion does this move rely on. It should be mention in the naming convention or something--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 17:25, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- This had been a previous discussion at WT:FLC about standardizing the music lists (Category:Lists of awards by musician). After a recent discussion with the FLC director myself and Dabomb87 have been moving the rest (Category:Lists of awards by actor, Category:Lists of awards by film) for exactly the same reasons the others were moved. I would have let you know had I known it was at FLC before I moved it. When I found out it was an FLC I just performed the necessary fixes as quickly as I could. Sorry for any inconvenience and I hope that answers your question. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:40, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- There are no inconveniences and your fixes are very welcome. Still it would be nice to have this official somewhere like WP:Film style guideline for lists or something. Lists are crucial for WP:Film and should therefore have a style guideline or naming convention. Please take this into consideration. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 17:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- I have left a note at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (films)#List of awards and nominations received by (Actor/Film), but I'm not sure if that receives much traffic so if you wish to copy this to somewhere more prominent, be my guest. Best wishes, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Airdate citing on List of One Piece episodes (season 5)
Hi, you've commented on the list's previous FLC. Could you tell me if the way the airdates are cited right now would be sufficient to garner your support? The problem is that the archived Video Research pages don't give the episode names. Thanks in advance, -- Goodraise (talk) 23:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- If you don't want to comment, that's perfectly fine, but some sort of reply, if only acknowledging that you read this, would be greatly appreciated, because I'm kind of holding off a renomination until this is settled. -- Goodraise (talk) 19:04, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, my apologies. I was going to do this, which is why I didn't reply to say no. I initially got waylaid, and then forgot. I'll take a look now, sorry and thanks for the "reminder" :) Rambo's Revenge (talk) 19:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- Commented on the article talk page. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 19:33, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Renominated
Thanks for the source-review. I've now renominated the list: Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of One Piece episodes (season 5)/archive2. -- Goodraise (talk) 01:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
RE: FLC Image problem
Hmm. It looks better, but on my browser, not really. It may be due to my screen resolution, I'll just let it go this time since I have no idea what is causing that.--₮RUCӨ 23:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Premiere
Congrats on your first sucessful FAC! Pretty stressful, huh? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. Stressful pretty much covers it. I was warned, but it might be a while before I think about attempting another one. Cheers for your help along the way, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 08:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
On an unrelated note, I just revamped my user pages, and have now realised the colour scheme is very similar to yours. That wasn't the intent (I chose the colour to match my signature) and I might try to make it less similar at a later date. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:15, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it. [GDFL]] and all that. :) Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 04:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Just noticed on my watchlist that this was promoted to FA. Congrats! –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:46, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, your help with it was much appreciated. Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 09:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- Good job! Dabomb87 (talk) 16:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Re:Indonesian submission list
Yikes, I didn't notice that. The official Oscar website has apparently been completely revamped, and they didn't even have the decency to retain all their old links. I've swapped up a good portion of the links, and I'll confer with some other editors and the film project to see whether I can find the rest. The FLRC nomination can wait. Thanks, — sephiroth bcr (converse) 21:03, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, found where the Indonesian sources had migrated to, which solves the sourcing problem. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 04:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your vote of confidence, I'm actually surprised at how many users have agreed with me so far. My next step will be to get the new criterion added to WP:WIAFL and in the meantime, I'm going through all of our FLs and trying to find some of the ones I'm most concerned about. It will be tough going, but I would like to try to improve the process as much as I can, and any assistance you can offer would be very welcome. Thanks, Scorpion0422 23:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- You could try it, but it might not hurt to wait for the current one to finish. -- Scorpion0422 14:38, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- It's up to you I suppost because I don't know if there is necessarily anything against overlinking references, (I've also been told many things, but generally at FAC, you get told to not overlink in refs). -- Scorpion0422 21:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Commons and images
Thanks for that. I have absolutely no problems with your review, as image licensing is an important issue and one that has historically been overlooked at FLC as compared, say, to FAC. (At least my lists are generally light on images, so there's not too much to sort out!) I await the outcome with interest... Regards, BencherliteTalk 13:16, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- I've withdrawn one of the deletion nominations, in the light of events... BencherliteTalk 15:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- That's fine. I was striking it on the FLC at the time. [1] Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 15:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
- If you want a real challenge, here's a nice little image review request. :) Dabomb87 (talk) 00:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- That's fine. I was striking it on the FLC at the time. [1] Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 15:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
I made the font size a little smaller, so that should help. You could try removing the images, or you could try removing all of the England flags and adding a note along the lines of "All athletes are from England unless otherwise noted, then doing this:
Year | Winner | Sport | Second | Sport | Third | Sport | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1958 | ![]() |
Swimming | Bobby Charlton | Football | Nat Lofthouse | Football | [1] |
1959 | John Surtees | Motorcycle racing | Bobby Charlton | Football | ![]() |
Swimming | [2] |
1960 | ![]() |
Show jumping | Don Thompson | Athlete | Anita Lonsbrough | Swimming | [3] |
1961 | Stirling Moss | Formula One | Billy Walker | Boxing | Angela Mortimer | Tennis | [2] |
Hope that helps. -- Scorpion0422 22:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
- I like this. Thanks, I'll have a play. Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 22:45, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
PD review
Posting to several FLC regulars, maybe this program would work, see [3] — Rlevse • Talk • 00:59, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
- The issues on the image in the MOH article are all fixed now. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Re: Veronica Mars awards
Thanks for the help. Everything looks fine now. :) Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 03:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
List of QI episodes FLC
Hi there,
I wish to ask you, seeing as how you have been commenting on the List of QI episodes FLC, I was wondering if would now please either state if you now support or oppose the promotion to FL. So far, only one user has given their support/opposition rather than just commented, and it is getting close to the 10 days before the article is reviewed. I would really appreciate it. ISD (talk) 07:54, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hi again,
- I carried out those improvements with the prose that you asked for. I hope that the articles is now to your satisfaction and that you will support it. Cheers. ISD (talk) 15:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Re: Date script
Okay done Gary King (talk) 19:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- I just wrote a four-line Ruby script on the spot to do it. Gary King (talk) 20:15, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
New FL criteria discussion: Final phase
Hello, I think we've hammered out a good revised Featured List criteria here. If this passes, there will be quite a few FLs (my estimate is somewhere between 60 and 75) that could soon be delisted just because of 3b. With that in mind, I'd like to get comments and opinions from all FLC regulars and everyone else who has participated in the discussion before it's implemented. Thanks, Scorpion0422 17:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
