- Congratulations on the recent FAC promotion. It is pretty awesome how many song FAs have been promoted over the more recent-ish years. Aoba47 (talk) 01:47, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
TFL notification
Hi, MaranoFan. I'm just posting to let you know that List of songs recorded by Olivia Rodrigo – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for January 8, 2024. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 22:29, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
Triple Crown
What if I told you none of it was accidental, and from the first FAC I posted, nothing was gonna stop me. I have met some of the most incredibly talented people here. I want to thank them for the last 10 years, and the TC project for giving me this unbelievable honor. I want to say to all the young editors out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame. But if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you will know it was you and the people who love you who put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world. (lol, but seriously, thanks to everyone who has come on this journey with me)--NØ 08:50, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Promotion of Holidays (Meghan Trainor song)
- Congrats on the recent FA promotion! I know that you have mentioned nominating Olivia Rodrigo articles for FACs, and just because I am super nosy, do you know which ones you would be doing? Aoba47 (talk) 01:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for the message! It is sad when these promotions go completely unnoticed by everyone else, lol. The Rodrigo material I am currently looking at is stuff from the new album; I think "Lacy" is the closest one to being prepared for now. I've also been glad to see a lot of the articles I GA-reviewed get FA-nominated recently so I may do some GA reviews!--NØ 09:15, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- I am glad to hear it. It is always encouraging to see editors take an article through a GAN and then a FAC. It is very satisfying. I am glad that you might do more GA reviews. It is always good to help out there whenever possible, although I must admit that I do not really do those types of reviews as much anymore. I think it is always fun to bring an album track through the FAC process so I am looking forward to what you do with "Lacy" or any other song you choose. Aoba47 (talk) 03:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for Treat Myself, "about Meghan Trainor's third album, Treat Myself. Before she made us look again, there was this commercial disaster. Trainor's label delayed it several times, spanning over a year, and can probably write a book about what not to do when promoting an album. She has stated in interviews that it is her best work. And if you ask me, track 1 on this album is the best song she has released!"! - I treat myself to vacation, - se places ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:44, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Much thanks for the message. My day is genuinely incomplete without a message from you whenever I have a TFA! ;) I hope people are able to discover some of Trainor's most underrated but best tracks like "Wave", "Ashes", and "Evil Twin" from the appearance.--NØ 19:48, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
