Thanks for your comments at Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/List of Scheduled Monuments in South Somerset/archive1. I see you have a holiday banner up but I wondered whether you had been able to look at my responses and see if they meet your concerns?— Rod 09:29, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Charlie Hebdo

I think it's worth creating a dedicated main article on the attack. --Dweller (talk) 11:45, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Me too. After you.... ! The Rambling Man (talk) 11:48, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Done: 2015 Shooting at Charlie Hebdo. Feel free to move to a more appropriate name if you like. --Dweller (talk) 11:52, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Awesome, linked at ITNC. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:53, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

DYK for The Boat Race 1877

On 7 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Boat Race 1877, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the 1877 Boat Race, in which both teams tied, was later described as "the great gooseberry"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Boat Race 1877. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

FLC

I can't believe that it's approaching 5 years since I took the Geometry professors through FLC! Now that I've got a bit more time on my hands, you might see a few more Oxford lists this year - they're quite fun to do and have an obvious structure, unlike some of the unwritten FAs that I'd like to do... Thanks for your review and I hope my replies keep you happy. Bencherlite 08:46, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

No worries. Just remember, one day we'll need to collaborate on getting The Boat Race to at least GA status... Oh, and ping me if you do add more Oxon lists at FLC, I don't frequent there as often as I did and I'd hate to miss an opportunity to pour scorn on your meagre offerings.... The Rambling Man (talk) 08:48, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

The Boat Race

I've noticed that a number of articles on The Boat Race for various years have been coming through the Signpost as featured articles. Are all of them your work? And if so, do you intend to do them all?

I'm so hoping you are going to do them all. That would be amazing. =) Adam Cuerden 06:49, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey Adam, yes, they're mainly my work. I'm currently attempting to get all 161 articles at least to GA, up to about 97 or so... And then, for those with sufficient information available, I'll take them to FAC. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:34, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Excellent. I'm going to mention that, then. Adam Cuerden 17:27, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Cool, but go carefully, I'm persona non grata with many users of Misplaced Pages. I'm doing my best to improve the content yet I continually run into "monitor editors" who are here to simply comment on other people's behaviour without themselves contributing to the encyclopedia. Adding this to Signpost may just upset them one more time as they consider additions to the content of the encyclopedia to be somewhat irrelevant, preferring instead to stick to drama boards and attempting to portray themselves as some kind of mediator. In any case, you know what I'm up to, and I'm happy to see it recognised, but it's not important. I just want to make Misplaced Pages more complete, unlike those I've mentioned who simply aim to further their own ego, their own agenda, their own ownership. Cheers.
