Nice work, C of E. But can I ask this? Is there any reason you've put St. rather than St, and would you object if it were changed to St? Thanks, Ericoides (talk) 05:38, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Great, I'll change it. British spelling omits the full-stop in abbreviations if they end with the same letter as the word itself, eg, Revd (not Rev.), Mr, St, Dr, Lt-Col, etc. Ericoides (talk) 13:37, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

In rem April Fools' Day court case articles

Re this: Yeah, I saw that and knew that, while I had a couple in mind as possibilities, nothing could compete with that one. So I was going to sit this year out (well, not exactly ... I have a tenth-anniversary missing-person case in mind for that day as well, and I think I can find the right balance with the hook. But I have to write the article first), but then I saw the Slate article and it was like ... ding! There you go! Daniel Case (talk) 18:10, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: Yes, didn't mean to steal your thunder of funny legal cases. By the way, I was wondering if you could review the Bataar nomination as today an editor came in and overrode the green tick but I think he misunderstood the April Fools Day notion and history of funny court cases on the day so could you add the green tick again if you agree with the hook and my rationale please?

Another tweak?

Hi again. I'm just wondering if we should put a person in the beginning of the hook, like:

... that US officials grabbed a Tyrannosaurus that entered the country illegally? Yoninah (talk) 09:03, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I always feel that we could work on it more to make it great. That picture of a reconstructed tyrannosaurus doesn't help the hook, IMO. I wonder if we could stretch things and write:
... that US officials grabbed a Tyrannosaurus that tried to enter the country illegally?
I wish we could reopen the nomination to get it right. We have a few more hours till this goes live, but I'm not sure if @Gatoclass: and the others will be online before that time. Yoninah (talk) 09:14, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: The slight problem with the new one there is that the Tyrannosaurus did enter the US illegally given it got past customs with it's fake British papers and to the auction house. How about ...that US officials grabbed and sued a Tyrannosaurus that tried to enter the country illegally with a fake British passport? (Ok maybe drop the sued if you think its best) I think that is the best hook we can get without reopening the nom which would mean it would miss AFD. The C of E God Save the Queen!

Stub Obliteration

For this week I'm introducing a sort of game to blast away those stale old stubs with a prize at the end of it. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Wales/Awaken the Dragon/Stub Obliteration 2016. Expansions rules don't apply to any articles done through this, all you have to do is ensure every article you submit is minimum 1.5kb readable prose in total and adequately sourced and readable and remove the stub tag and update the project tag on the talk page. It could be that the article is 1.2kb readable prose and you simply add 0.3 kb prose and just quickly smarten up the sources and give a minor copyedit. The goal is reducing the number of stubs we have and making them more consistent, minimum start class entries. Read the top for the rules and more details and add your name to it in the style of the main entries page if you want to participate. It's open to contestants and anybody who is participating in the editathon independently. Potentially a lot of points can be earned from mass basic expansions with this!♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:11, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

SA Flag

Hello

I just noticed the (great) work you have done on Flag of South Africa (1928–1994). Thank you ! I am a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject South Africa/Wikipedia Primary School project and as part of this project, we have asked Bruce B Berry to help in reviewing the article on the Flag of South Africa. He sent us some notes by email, which I integrated today. I was considering asking him his opinion on the 1928-1994 article... but would like to also ask you your own feedback on the current flag article. Any info to add or to remove or to modify ? Thank you in advance. Anthere (talk)

British Listed Buildings site

http://historicwales.gov.uk at long last provides a means of accessing the Cadw listed buildings descriptions via a direct url - they used only to be accessible by starting from scratch every time. If you zoom into the town / village that you're writing about, and tick the box on the right-hand side of the screen that says "Cadw listed buildings", dots for every listed building will show. Find the one you want, click it, click "details", click "save as pdf" and a new window with a url for the full listing description will open. I'd suggest it's better to use that than the BLB site, since the Historic Wales site is going to be more up-to-date and the BLB is an advertising-based mirror site anyway.
