Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/November 22, 2020

This one is scheduled, but doesn't have an image yet. Suggestions? The first image in the article might be okay, with a suitable crop. - Dank (push to talk) 15:37, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

While I'm here ... anyone have a suggestion for the image for Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/November 4, 2020? (There are several good options, I think, we just haven't picked anything yet.) - Dank (push to talk) 15:44, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Dank, the first image in the article James Humphreys (pornographer) is a fair use image. Are fair use images allowed in TFA section of the Main Page? —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:01, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Oops, sorry, I thought it was copyleft. No, they're not eligible. Suggestions? - Dank (push to talk) 16:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

A picture of the approximate site of one of his "establishments", then or now, would work for me, if we can find one. There may be one in the article. - Dank (push to talk) 16:17, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

TFA Coord discussion

Dank could you help me find this TFA Coord discussion so I can understand the problem? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:32, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

It was email only. Three supports, one "I've been busy, no opinion either way". It was by email for the reason given in that edit summary: the world is in bad shape at the moment, and WP isn't much better. People are preoccupied, and not at their best. We'd prefer to put off the discussion. Late January has been mentioned as a time when things will hopefully be a little calmer. - Dank (push to talk) 16:36, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

So I guess three supports indicates no particular problem or issue I should work on solving for now? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:00, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Agreed, Sandy. Please don't read this as a veiled request to make some kind of change to make it acceptable. The only issue (speaking for myself, I haven't asked anyone about this) is the need for more input before making that change to WT:TFA. - Dank (push to talk) 17:39, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Honestly, while you (Dank) clearly don't want an elongated discussion about this, I don't see how it can really be considered 'a big change'. It is just streamlining some links, and matching a format that has already been implemented at Misplaced Pages talk:Featured article candidates and Misplaced Pages talk:Featured article review. I'm not sure how many TFA coords there are, but three supports and one non-committal opinion seems an odd reason to revert it; surely just let it happen, as it isn't like it is changing the TFA process in anyway. But anyway, you don't want a discussion, so let's kick it down the road for two months for... reasons. Harrias 17:24, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Well, for people who don't know already, the TFA coords have no super-vote in discussions. If you want to talk about it, I can't stop you and wouldn't want to. So, first things first: is this one opinion, or is there some general sense that this would be a good time to talk about adding this template to WT:TFA? - Dank (push to talk) 17:34, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

It's a consolidated template for all three processes (FAC, FAR, TFA), in which you can expand only the portion applicable to each particular page, while keeping everything available in one place. The consolidated discussion is over there. If there is a suggestion, issue or improvement, it would be helpful to keep the discussion in one place (the most read place, which is FAC). (What you have here now is that you come to this page and find no link to where you put pending requests, which is solved by linking it in the new template.)

Image switch?

I'm a bit concerned about the image selected for this nom and would like to suggest the one that's on the nom talk page. Can I just go ahead or should there be more discussion? Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:19, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Your cropped photo looks good to me. - Dank (push to talk) 20:29, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

The crop has code in it that doesn't work (automatically, at least) with {{Main page image/TFA}}. I'll ask for help at WP:ERRORS. - Dank (push to talk) 13:42, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Dank! Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:34, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Immune system

The original nominator hasn't edited since 2013 or I'd have asked them if they have any objections, but do you think we ought to consider either a re-run for Immune system, or having it ready to run at short notice once mass vaccination is rolled out? Interest in the topic is for obvious reasons going to be higher than normal for the next few months, and medical FAs are rare enough that it might be good to highlight those we have. Its previous run was in 2007, so it's well past any arbitrary cut-off. ‑ Iridescent 15:55, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Iridescent I'm in the course of scheduling December. I can give December 7 or 30. The first gives you less time to update but the 30th may be less-viewed. I'd like to wrap the month up.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:19, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

This is more spitballing on my part than any particular urge—I have no connection to the article. If you (plural) are amenable (I know short notice changes are a nuisance) it might make more sense to have it pre-approved and slotted into the schedule once either the US or UK approves the first vaccine and mass inoculation starts being rolled out, when interest in the topic will be at a peak. ‑ Iridescent 16:41, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

I always try to schedule an article where I am nominator for the end of the month that I schedule. I am going to do so for December 30. If there is a call to use immune system as TFA, I can slot it in there with no fuss no muss.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:52, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

@Graham Beards and Ajpolino: for an idea of whether it is up to snuff ... Iri, a great idea. We could make it medical collaboration of the month if needed ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:23, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
