Wikipedia talk:FAC coordination

Hi guys, I'm using the nom link rather than the article link because the article name in the nom now redirects to a dab page. There doesn't seem to have been any discussion about this and of course it will stuff up the archiving (and I think the nom should be archived, I see no prospect of consensus to promote anytime soon). The obvious thing seems to move the article page back, at least for now, but I find I can't do that as it would mean renaming to a page that already exists. David, if you agree, is there something you can do with your admin tools? Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:13, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So to be clear, you're suggesting we adjust the FAC page on closing to match the current name (Snooze (SZA song))? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 23:02, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, more the other way round: move Snooze (SZA song) back to Snooze (song). As I say, I see no discussion, and little need for the move since only one other song uses the title and that's recently been subject to AFD so it's hardly the primary topic for "snooze (song)". But if you think better to leave the song move in place then we'd need to change the FAC title, yes. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 09:06, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hrm. Well leaving it in place and moving our pages is the easier option, and while it does look like the other Snooze is going to be merged back into the album, it strikes me as a valid thing someone would search for, so I'm kind of two minds about reverting it even if it was done without input.

A pragmatist after my own heart...! Okay I've moved/renamed everything that I think affects our pages and archived, so we'll see how that goes. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:04, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hurra-yi Khuttali

[edit]

Given Jo-Jo's comments at the end of here - Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Hurra-yi Khuttali/archive2 - is there anywhere dedicated to advertising for a translator? Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:22, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GTG?

[edit]

Some that may be worth looking over with a view to closing, and where I am recused.

Archiving candidate

[edit]

I am inclined towards archiving Valhalla train crash given ZKang123's oppose. It is not entirely straight forward, so if anyone differs, please feel free to say so. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:44, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look this evening and follow up tomorrow. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 22:29, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have processed the irregular withdrawal of this nom. One of you may wish to have a look at this diff and comment on whether I should/could have handled the situation differently/better. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:20, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve been in Ceoil‘s shoes before so I understand his frustration. You did the right thing. FrB.TG (talk) 00:23, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto FrB, on both counts. What you said in that diff is completely appropriate; the mandatory spotchecks we do are the mimimum, anytime someone offers to do one outside that is a bonus and not to be dismissed. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:48, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks guys. A shame though. Gog the Mild (talk) 09:50, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to be getting a bit needy this weekend, but anyway; I have recused to review this and despite it already having three general supports I found about half the sentences falling foul of MOS:NOFORCELINK, WP:TECHNICAL or WP:NOTHOW (scientific journal). I may be getting too picky in my old age. Gog the Mild (talk) 14:49, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
