		The Helping Hand Barnstar
		Hi Sandy! I was assigned to the AD article a long while ago with some peers in my class and have been keeping tabs on the article since then. Similar to the previous barnstar (above), I'm honestly a huge fan of your work - you were super helpful back when I was learning the ropes of Wik.ipedia.Pro editing and I wanted to come back and say THANK YOU for all that. I hope all is well and that you know all your efforts are appreciated and remembered :) Bharatss-SB (talk) 20:37, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the one that I rewrote from a version with crappy source-text integrity a couple years ago (essentially, the user had copied some of the footnotes from the book as article citations to make it look less like the article was reliant on a single source I think). I hope there are no hard feelings - you had thought this shouldn't be a FAR situation. But there were prose quality issues noted at the time; I've had trouble getting follow-up reviews. It's maybe not what FAR is intended for, but with the way work has been accelerating for me since I got promoted in June of 2023, I can't guarantee that I'll still be even a semi-active editor in another couple years, and I just really want closure on this.

Hey, Hog Farm, great to see you; I may get a break after this week and be able to have a look. My life stubbornly refuses to settle down. I know you're swamped too, but you may want to look in on this. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded on the Longstreet talk page, which I hope will be more productive than a sprawling ANI discussion. It's yet another busy week for me in a summer/year of busy weeks. Hog Farm _Talk 01:10, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Sandy, I leave you this mission here, to place this multimedia material where you think best. I know they are in Spanish but you can also place it on other Wik.ipedia.Pros. (BTW you can take screenshoots if you need for some article too)

Sometimes I wait too long in noting an obvious problem. I am pretty certain that none of these sources are appropriate for a FA, but I am not sure how to formulate "Sorry, but none of this information is appropriate unless reliably sourced, and none of the sources you use are adequate" in a tactful way. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:37, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jo-Jo Eumerus one safe way to start is to hope that they just are unaware of WP:WIAFA. I would first compose the message on talk, then revert, saying:

Ping|editor name, this article is a Featured article, which must meet high-quality standards of sourcing. The sources you used in diff|Y edit would not be likely to meet the sourcing standards expected at FAC or FAR; I will revert the edit so we can discuss. Please have a look at WP:FAOWN, and let's talk about ways to improve the article. I have searched high-quality sources for the information you want to add, but have been unable to find any, and am reluctant to use those sources for Z reason.

I often find that something along those lines results in a new collaborator. Good luck, Jo-Jo! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:36, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thx. It seems like they might be figuring it out on their own. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sandy, if you have a minute I have a question at Talk:Cerro_Panizos#Copyediting_notes that I'd like your take on, as someone who both knows Spanish and knows how to write good prose. No problem if you don't have time -- I know you're not very active these days. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:44, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
