Congratulations to these great achievements! -Today I remember a singer who impressed me on stage. - You are invited tothe peer review after FAC, - in a poll, you could simply mark yes or no for the four open questions. It's an experiment. The piece has its 300th anniversary on Christmas Day, and should be as good as possible by then. --Gerda Arendt (talk)18:02, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have three biographies on the main page today, missa fourth one, nominated a fifth, that means little time for other matters. Verdi three times in music. --Gerda Arendt (talk)16:19, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today forChagatai Khan, about "the second son of Genghis Khan and Börte (and the third to be brought to FAC). He lived a fairly good life—probably better than any of his brothers—and was the only one to get a state named after him personally; not even Genghis managed that."! - Look,today's image, -she "portrayed" herself with her husband at the end of the table, - would have been good for Thanksgiving ;) - I havea FAC open again, in case of interest. --Gerda Arendt (talk)08:32, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, on one of the (Wikipedia?) talk pages within the last month or so, you linked to the use of a template that allows one to evaluate sources in a table format. For the life of me, I can't find it. I need to add it to a new sandbox page.Viriditas (talk)20:34, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Found it!{{Source assess table}} Thanks for the inspiration.Viriditas (talk)20:45, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you stopped being a mentor because I got a bunch of watchlist notifications of your mentees that I had blocked being reassigned. That mentor system is top notch.ScottishFinnishRadish (talk)13:24, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be so kind as to tell me how you find the precise number range to dothis (i.e., link/highlight a specific text)? I've used{{oldid}} to do something similar, but the way you do it is much better. Cheers,Cl3phact0 (talk)13:13, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SorryCl3phact0, missed this; if you mean linking to a specific comment, you click on the timestamp after the signature, and the link is automatically copied to your clipboard.~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk)13:44, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I was doing it sort of half-manually and couldn't figure out how you were doing it so cleanly. Sometimes the most obvious things are the hardest to see. Cheers,Cl3phact0 (talk)13:59, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I also came acrossthis script while I was trying to solve the riddle. Very handy tool. Might be to your liking. --Cl3phact0 (talk)14:01, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This brownie is for your work on gettingTanguturi Prakasam a DYK! After I had promoted it to GA status, I had thought about working on one myself but couldn't think of any DYK statements, as the one I had originally thought of (his whole Andhra Kesari thing) had already been a DYK quite a few years back. Thanks for working on this! I appreciate it :) —EarthDude (Talk)06:14, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
