			Thank you today for the 2012 article, introduced: "Back in the early part of the 19th century, a British army officer who had served in India left a small fortune to the University of Oxford to create a professorship in Sanskrit, of all things. His plan was that the professor would help convert the heathen masses of India to Christianity by teaching Sanskrit to would-be missionaries and administrators of British India. The 1860 election (and, yes, it was a proper election, with manifestos, bitching and adverts in newspapers appealing to the 3,700 electors) was a clash of two philosophies: one candidate represented scholarship for the sake of scholarship, the other represented evangelical Christian zeal. The Times supported one, other papers backed his rival. Special trains had to be laid on to cope with the number of graduates returning to cast their ballot. The defeat of the better scholar in the election has been held up as an example of all that was wrong with Oxford at that time. It's a topic about which I knew nothing until I stumbled across it writing Boden Professor of Sanskrit for WP:FLC, but there's a surprising amount of material out there in contemporary sources and modern analyses."! - Miss you, especially your knowledge about English church music. --] (]) 07:15, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

			== TFL notification – June 2020 ==
	==Maindate note==
	I've been looking at the discussions on the FAC talkpage concerning main page date notification on the chosen article's talkpage. I'm not quite clear whether the system has changed in this respect from the instructions you provided at the start of the year, and I'd like to know, if possible, before I resume scheduling in a week or so's time. ] (]) 09:11, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
	:{{u\|Brianboulton}} – apologies for the delay, see the above note. Until 31st March, the bot was adding "maindate=" completely unnecessarily ''on TFA day'', when (a) it should be added when the TFA is selected, not as late as TFA day, and (b) because there has been no bot doing this (as there used to be) you/others have been adding "maindate=" on selection, so that the bot has been creating template errors by adding it again (needing another bot to fix it). I raised this once again at ] and now the bot is no longer creating work for other bots, I'm pleased to say. The TFA coordinators will have to liaise with {{u\|Hawkeye7}} about the issue of the bot adding "maindate=" on the day that the TFA is selected - whether you want this to happen, whether this is possible, and if the answer to both is yes, agreeing when this will start. A bot always used to do it, so it is technically possible and it is certainly less work for a bot to check for new TFA selections and add "maindate=" to the talk page than it is for the TFA coordinators to do it. ]] 21:20, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
	::Thanks for the reply. The work involved in adding "maindate=" manually is pretty minimal, and not I think worth negotiating a bot for. I happy to carry on without it. ] (]) 21:34, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
	:::The Bot adds the "maindate=" to Today's Featured Article at the same time that it updates the FA and FANMP pages (at around 0105Z), but only if it is not already there. It is technically possible for it to add it when the article is added to the upcoming TFA queue. The messiness occurs if the TFA coordinators subsequently remove it from the queue for some reason. ] (]) 21:46, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

	:# In List 2, make a list of pages in the category Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page.
	:# Right click list 2, select "convert from talk pages"
	:# Go compare
	:# That gives you 148 articles (at the time of writing). You can now save the file in the format of your choice, open it e.g. in a wordprocessor and add <nowiki>* ]</nowiki> around every entry (or whatever you want).

	*{{TPS}} A lot of times people edit in other, equally important areas. Although content is the main public part of the encyclopedia, there are numerous administrative tasks that need to be done (AFD logging, template coding, etc.) and other content areas (writing lists, creating images, etc.). By instating such a requirement, we'd essentially be saying to all of these people "You're not good enough, so why bother?" Furthermore, FA can be downright terrifying if you're not used to it. Once you understand the system, it's more or less fine and dandy... but when you're first starting out, it can be a nightmare. — ] (]) 00:14, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
	*Another {{TPS}}. 1FA used to be a standard for RFA. But that was before we tightened up on ]. I think it's not just the FA process that has matured, but Misplaced Pages.

Precious anniversary

Precious
Eight years!

miss you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:33, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you today for the 2012 article, introduced: "Back in the early part of the 19th century, a British army officer who had served in India left a small fortune to the University of Oxford to create a professorship in Sanskrit, of all things. His plan was that the professor would help convert the heathen masses of India to Christianity by teaching Sanskrit to would-be missionaries and administrators of British India. The 1860 election (and, yes, it was a proper election, with manifestos, bitching and adverts in newspapers appealing to the 3,700 electors) was a clash of two philosophies: one candidate represented scholarship for the sake of scholarship, the other represented evangelical Christian zeal. The Times supported one, other papers backed his rival. Special trains had to be laid on to cope with the number of graduates returning to cast their ballot. The defeat of the better scholar in the election has been held up as an example of all that was wrong with Oxford at that time. It's a topic about which I knew nothing until I stumbled across it writing Boden Professor of Sanskrit for WP:FLC, but there's a surprising amount of material out there in contemporary sources and modern analyses."! - Miss you, especially your knowledge about English church music. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:15, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

List of Best-Selling Music Artists

Hey, could I ask for your input in the talk section of the List of Best-Selling Music Artists? It seems like there are a lot of pretty fundamental issues with the list, and you had commented on some of them when it failed to become a featured list candidate. I would like your input, because I'm not a very experienced editor, and I don't really know how to proceed.
