On ], you inserted ], in violation of what it says there:

    Re:Barrymore-Garbo Grand Hotel photo

    After we'd done the PR, I put everything up for DR at Commons that was questionable. This one is now gone. Will be giving my two cents worth at FAC as soon as I get a bit of the "Daddy" work done. ;) We hope (talk) 16:21, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

    Christmas wishes

    Hi Gavin,

    Merry Christmas to you too! Misplaced Pages is a better place because of your contributions. I hope you return to the James Bond film articles someday; it would be great to see the rest of them get up to featured status, especially considering how far you've taken them already.

    Neelix (talk) 14:15, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

    Thanks Neelix. Maybe not one of the film articles, but I'm tempted to do one of the books next year! Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 20:05, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

    Hey

    Do you know where the page is that has all of the templates like Holiday, Vacation, etc.? I can't find it anywhere because I don't know what article name to search for.  — ₳aron 10:45, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

    Hi ₳aron, have a look towards the bottom of Template:Holiday, there's a Navbox showing all the different permutations. Is that the one you're after? Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 14:14, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
    Thanks. Yeah I was trying to find the different variations of it. I also quite like all of the other user templates too! But forgot where to find them lol. Merry Christmas!  — ₳aron 16:08, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

    Season's Greetings!

    Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2015 !!!

    Hello SchroCat! As we gather to celebrate the changing of years and reflect on the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, I would like to wish you and yours a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Attached is a small snack which I hope will give you the energy to continue being an amazing person and editor in the coming year.


    Happy editing,

    Many thanks Crisco: I hope you have a great holiday and 2015. Cheers – SchroCat (talk) 14:17, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

    Avril Lavigne (album)

    I think that's happen per WP:BRD. There's questionable and unreliable sources anywhere (even bare URLs including MuuMuse). Can you keep an eye that who would doing the same pattern. 183.171.180.98 (talk) 19:07, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

    Sorry for things went south..

    For whatever behavior I added to the dispute on your FAC, I extend a real apology. While I did reverse my support, I wouldn't oppose because it was already on its way and I couldn't bring my self to actually oppose the excellent work. Thank you for the work on John Barrymore it is truly comprehensive and the images are superb. I did notice one slight mistake in spelling Ethel "Ethyl" but forgot about it. I will check to see if it is still on the article and correct it if it truly is a mistake.--Mark Miller (talk) 20:37, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

    The reference-notes section is also one of the best I've seen.--Mark Miller (talk) 20:46, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
    Thanks Mark, and thanks for spotting the error too. - SchroCat (talk) 09:14, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

    GoldenEye

    I'm thinking about requesting a peer review for GoldenEye and nominating it for FA status. It had several peer reviews and unsuccessful FA nominations in 2007-08, but nothing since then besides the Bond films topic becoming a good topic. If it gets FA, I plan on requesting it as Today's Featured Article for 13 November 2015 (the 20th anniversary of the LA premiere). This date is currently available at the waiting list, so I wanted to get your take as you're a frequent editor of the article. Tonystewart14 (talk) 20:41, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

    I'm not sure,it's close to the standard required, unfortunately. The last FACs were back in 2007/08 when the standards were markedly lower than they are now, and I personally think the thing would need a top-to-bottom re-write (including a lot more research around key areas) to get close to the standard. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 09:21, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
    Yes I think there might be more in books than were available back then.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:40, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
    It looks like even Blofeld himself is weighing in! Thanks to both of you for your feedback. I see that many of the references are also from the 2006-08 period, so perhaps it could use a bit of an update. It would be quite an endeavor to rewrite an article that's already GA, but I could at least spruce it up and fix a few broken links. Tonystewart14 (talk) 16:51, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

    Picking your brains again

    It's like this: we have an article called Henry Campbell (bishop). In fact his surname was Montgomery Campbell, and I am reasonably confident of getting agreement from the Anglican project folk to change the page name. In anticipation of that, there are two things I'd like to tap your knowledge on. First, as there is a redirect page called "Henry Montgomery Campbell", how would I go about making that the main page and the present page a redirect? Secondly, bishoprics all have lots and lots of succession boxes, e.g this one: Template:Bishops of London. Would I then have to track them all down and manually change his name on each? Grateful for your advice. Tim riley talk 14:44, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

    Discussion top

    On Talk:Ian Fleming, you inserted Template:Discussion top, in violation of what it says there:

    When used on a talk page this template should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at refactoring. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors.

    You are not an uninvolved editor or administrator. I encourage you to reconsider. And don't suggest that I revert you. This is your responsibility, not mine. By the way, I do not consider you to be of low status, or in any way inferior to me, so please don't accuse me of condescension. Also by the way, Cassianto is as ineligible as you for Template:Discussion top:, so I strongly discourage you from recruiting said individual to this task. —Anomalocaris (talk) 10:21, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
