Congratulations to another FA, and not a car ;) - Sorry, I meant to review, but am too late. I have a FAC open, in case of interest, BWV 79. - The last three stories were Bach's Mass in B minor (because I heard it), and two women! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:24, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Would you have time to look at my FAC for BWV 79 yesterday? - Scheduling for October began, and its 300th anniversary is on 31 October. 4 supports already. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:00, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update: it's already scheduled, and still no FA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:13, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry Gerda, but i feel that even if i had reviewed it the article wouldn't have been promoted in time 750h+ 01:33, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think I was not clear. I is scheduled. It has four supports and probably needs a fifth, for formality. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:44, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Gerda i fully understand that and I can review it now but i still have a feeling that even if i had reviewed and supported it on the 19th the TFAs would still have been scheduled before your nomination got promoted 750h+ 13:43, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Barnstar of Diligence
Congratulations on the promotion of Beyonce! I was overjoyed to see the article finally up to FA quality. PHShanghai | they/them (talk) 05:00, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What advice would you give for anyone (me lol) looking to bring a BLP article to FA? I'm interested in revamping Madonna especially but I would be interested how would you summarize the process of months of your laborious work :) PHShanghai | they/them (talk) 05:00, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

much thanks for the barnstar! With Beyonce I did a full-scale revamp of that the article to make sure it was fully well written and i found SEVERAL grammatical issues along the way. also definitely make sure that you remove all findable cruft (specifically that which can be summarised in another article). make sure the article uses a good number of book/scholarly (The Wikipedia Library has several sources you can use within the article; though Madonna already seems to benefit from book/scholarly sources), and Z1720 was very helpful during the trimming process so you could consider asking him for a trim (if you need to). I largely took inspiration from a lot of already/recently promoted FAs (such as Cher, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, etc) when writing this, and also make sure to take it to peer review and get reviews from at least two people before taking it to FAC. regardless of if this is your first FA nomination or not given the length of the article the reviewers will do a spotcheck so make sure the sources verify what is said. Good luck with Madonna! 750h+ 05:45, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) just curious, are you planning to take Rihanna to FAC as well? If so would you be open to having a co-nominator (myself) :P? Ippantekina (talk) 11:11, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
i was actually! I stopped working on it but if you’d like i’d be glad to recontinue work on it. 750h+ 11:23, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I would like to make an apology.

Hey, I would wanna make an apology to you. What I did was wrong, I shouldn’t have called you a racist. I get kinda mad when people say Beyonce didn’t have that ancestry cause of creole but, it doesn’t excuse my actions and my behavior. Let alone cyber bullying and harassment that I did, I do wanna ask you this question, why did you go on my other pages and start editing it? I am tryna just understand the situation. I am trying to better myself as a human including taking breaks. 68.202.241.111 (talk) 08:26, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Notorious B.I.G.

Hey, was just wondering which part of the MOS doesn’t allow for mention of a borough in birthplace parameter. New York City is a big place, I think it’s worth mentioning Brooklyn. Also, shouldn’t the state of California be mentioned as well? Every infobox I’ve come across mentions the state. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 02:36, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

not one biography i can find mentions the borough, the infobox person template says that it's always city, state, country (Omit unnecessary or redundant details. For example, it is not necessary to state: New York City, New York, United States when New York City, U.S. conveys essentially the same information more concisely.. also there's no point of including California link when it links to the same page. 750h+ 02:51, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good prospect, but first thank you today for Chris Pratt, "one of the world's most bankable, highest-grossing, and highest-paid film stars. You might know him for playing Star-Lord in the Marvel movies or for playing Owen in the Jurassic World franchise.

FA review of Political philosophy

Hi 750h+, I was wondering whether I may interest you in another FA review. I've nominated the article Political philosophy, but the nomination hasn't attracted much attention so far, see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Political philosophy/archive1. Thank you for taking a look and please feel under no obligation if now is not a good time. Phlsph7 (talk) 16:09, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I remember a singer who impressed me on stage. - Repeating: you are invited to a peer review after FAC, - in a poll, you could simply mark yes or no for the four open questions. It's an experiment. The piece has its 300th anniversary on Christmas Day, and should be as good as possible by then. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:29, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Aston Martin DB11, "about a gorgeous grand tourer, which is the successor to the Aston Martin DB9—the first FA I made."! - I'd be grateful if you'd look at the above, - some did, but more feedback, especially on the third (sources) question would be welcome. To look into it should take five minutes, - Dr. Blofeld tried it ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:51, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have three biographies on the main page today, miss a fourth one, nominated a fifth, that means little time for other matters. If you have ten minutes, you might take a look at the four questions open from my last FAC (see above), and if you have only five minutes, question 3 about a book source would interest me most. My places now include La Scala, - see music, Verdi three times, and twice in my story! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:17, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for support in November! - On St. Cecilia's Day - patron saint of music - I remember a composition by Benjamin Britten, and have a woman on the main page who illustrated songs, with a sense of humour. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:16, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guidance

Thank you for a thorough review (a role reversal indeed when I realised the errors I had carelessly made in the article). Do you think the article needs another brush before I take it to PR and eventually FAC? I look forward to your response. Cheers. MSincccc (talk) 15:43, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That’s completely okay, I had a lot of mistakes that you thankfully pointed out at some of my FACs, so I’m very grateful for you. I think it would be safe to take it to PR just in case to get views from 1-2 editors just for safety (and for the fact this would be your first FA). Best, 750h+ 16:04, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your advice. By the way, should I approach those at WT:FAC as far as a mentor is concerned (given that this one was archived, as you know), or do you know someone who could assist me? I look forward to your response. MSincccc (talk) 16:42, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think getting a mentor would be a good idea, given you have’t made an FA before. I don’t really know anyone who could assist you but I know that SchroCat was extremely helpful when I was making my first FAC. I think before consider talking to them you should seek a mentor on WT:FAC. Hope this helps :) 750h+ 19:00, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copying from my sandbox

Please do not copy from my sandbox without at least telling me. I prefer to fully develop a section before implementing it in mainspace because I might write ideas first, improve it along the way, and then format the references. Thus stuff like the note that I added to "third-person acting" are not well defined or grammatically correct or referenced. Also I find it a bit rude.

Mentor for Bella Ramsey FA nomination process

Hi @750h+. I recently managed to get Bella Ramsey’s page promoted to GA status, and would now like to take it through the FA process. I would really appreciate guidance from you as an experienced editor (I noticed you’ve recently successfully brought actor articles, including Ethan Hawke and Chris Pratt, to FA status, as well as other pages). Would you be willing to mentor me through the process? I’m keen to learn best practices and ensure the article meets FA criteria. Thanks! Crp74 (talk) 14:37, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! i'm happy to mentor. I think it is pretty advisable to take it to WP:peer review before FA-ing it just to get a bit of insight from over editors. 750h+ 22:34, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Give me a shout out if you need any info on books! —IB [ Poke ] 19:29, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving article quality in February! - My story today is again about Percy Grainger (FA by Brian Boulton), this time with a video that surprised me. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:01, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Today's main page features four biographies I helped to bring there, two women and two men, three opera singers (one pictured) and an actor, - a record for me, I believe ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:13, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations to the promotion below - sorry, I meant to review but was too busy - and the planned TFA in April! Would you have time for a GA review for BWV 43, or - if not - read through for my usual mistakes? It should get into best shape for 300 years in May. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:44, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of Robert Downey Jr.

Congratulations, 750h+! The article you nominated, Robert Downey Jr., has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.
This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 23:51, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Content removal at Madonna

Hey 750h+! I’d like it if you could just clarify why the information regarding two of the new songs from Madonna’s upcoming studio album is not due for inclusion in the body as I’m admittedly not quite sure why it isn’t. For the sake of transparency, I also reinstated the paragraph at Draft:Upcoming Madonna album. Thanks, Yasslaywikia (talk) 16:35, 25 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
