@The Herald: I'll put it in next week's edition. SP reports are always +/- a day or two. ResMar 03:31, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for including the GA list also. I suggest that if in the future a particularly high importance article is listed as GA have a short para similar to FAs. Nergaal (talk) 04:10, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's... really not practical. Who determines what's particularly high importance? In addition, it'd break all formatting. Might try to give a high-importance GA the illustration, but, on the other hand, one rule I have is that the images used in the Signpost FC section must be worth highlighting, so it'd need at least one good-quality image that's more than just a thumbnail. That said, whether this continues will depend on response. Adam Cuerden (talk) 04:20, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I like the inclusion of the GAs. They're featured, I guess, in the sense that you're featuring them :) - Dank (push to talk) 04:30, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
and changed the nom, though the red links remain (can't see a way to fix it). Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 08:06, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Xanty. I know it was not you. Hafspajen (talk) 08:59, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There were endashes in the links, when the image names used hyphens. Now switched over and all working fine. - SchroCat (talk) 09:03, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. PLEASE do not search-replace hyphens and en-dashes. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:27, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I like the idea of the GAs listed in there. I agree with Adam that it's not practical to have additional paras for the GAs, or to try and decide which article is "more important" than any other, which would be too much POV really. The only possible change I could suggest would be to add the name of the GA nominator, but whether that would lead to too much additional work is another matter. - SchroCat (talk) 09:03, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, it's not possible: The name of the nominator isn't even listed anywhere obvious once it leaves the GAN page. It's not in the GA log I used to make this up, nor in the GA review, nor on the talk page of the article. I'd have to go digging very deep to find it.

  • …the unicorn is in love with the virgin, but has lost out to the Pope. I think that's what was meant by the author. It's not a good idea to start your Tinder profile with "I've got the horn you're looking for". Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 11:40, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I know. I am the author. But it is not explained, only copied, with no context. If someone is using my phrase without even understand it, I do react, especially when he just copies my own comment and doesn't even explain it, what is all about. I don't like it. I don't like when people copy my comments and not even credit me for it. I think nobody is willing to cope with this kind of sloppy editing. We had discussions, but the problem is still there. Hafspajen (talk) 11:49, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting idea. I discovered some articles that I did not know were GA. Thank you, Cantons-de-l'Est (talk) 16:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
