My dear friend

I did not think it was necessary to wheel war over AN/I discussion closure; for this case, it was fine; but when are you going to run for RfA? Hundreds of us have been asking you and perhaps, GreenMeansGo. Alex Shih (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

@Alex Shih: Look: I really must apologise about the ANI close. I assure you—no excuse that it is—that I didn't realise that You had already closed it, that SoV had re-opened it, and then I turned up in size thirteens  :) I saw the thread, went to the RfC, saw you'd closed that, and went back to the ANI thread... and closed it :o I'm afraid you and "hundreds" of others are now in the company of someone who didn't check the page history. A page one error! -and one which I will be rightfully condemned for. Sorry about that. Hope SarekoV didn't think I was stepping on their toes too. wel, clearly i did; but not deliberately. Nice message though: thanks! >SerialNumber54129^{...speculates} 20:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

I see what you're doing... a joint RfA so we can fail together an console one another. GMG^talk 21:32, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

RfA

I know a lot about RfA, prbably more than most because I pioneered the biggest ever investigation into it and I've voted on literally 100s of them. One of the problems of being an admin, is that people jump on us for anything they can and just love taking our comments out of context. You said 'extremely unfair'...

Things are good thanks. How is RL for you? Yes, it got promoted last night; my second FA and the first I wrote from scratch - well, cough, excepting your doubling of it in size, which is what really made it as a promotable article.

45 minutes after it was promoted I got an A class medal and 4 hours after that my first Four Award. I am new enough to Wikipedia to find this reasonably exciting.

I am about to have a disagreement over the MoS in an ACR - Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Midland Railway War Memorial - with an editor vastly more experienced than me. If you felt like casting your own experienced eyes over it, if only so you can tell me that I am being an idiot, it would be appreciated. Gog the Mild (talk) 16:52, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Go carefully with the butter Gog :) yes, I see great things are happening, congratulations! Re. the Memorial—no, I think your original reading was correct. Apologies for tardiness, I would have got there sooner, but I was a little tied up elsewhere  :) but it's really great when these things get discussed in a civilised manner and then resolved so peacefully. Hence my barb about dramaboard tricoteuses!

Good. You seemed prompt enough to me. I was a little concerned I may find my head in a basket, but it all worked out in a civilised manner.

You seem very busy with FACs of late. No danger of running out of English dukes I suppose. I did an image review while I was browsing it. If I get time over the weekend I'll do a full review. Interesting article.

Quite right. Get your duster out and get the place organised. One should always dress for dinner.

Hi Kautilya3, No.

Not a supervote: the nominator fail[ed] to advance any argument for deletion...only proposing an alternative action such as moving or merging—and no one other than the nominator recommend[ed] that the page be deleted. Now, of I'd mentioned that the topic clearly indicated its notability, that would have been a supervote; but I didn't. Even though it clearly does  :) I hoping you will not mind if I request that you do not—even accidentally—ascribe some bad faith just because you do not like the close.
