I'm kinda retired, but I saw this and had to agree. Thanks for everything you do, Dan. PS I also am or was a HUGE freaking Holmes fan. When I was a kid. I have no copies of the stories now. Probably can find them on the Internet. But whatever. Thanks for all you do. ♦ Lingzhi2(talk)23:44, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
Ha, thanks. If that's true, then you're the sole, lonely member of a one-person club. :-) Good luck in all things. ♦ Lingzhi2(talk)08:10, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
There is a very broad appreciation for what Dan does here, in his less is more way, i think its fair to say. Certainly I appreciate all his help. Ceoil (talk) 09:51, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Either blurb review is a thing or it isn't ... if it's a thing, then I can't take a position, in this case. Sorry. - Dank (push to talk) 11:59, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
"Anything else"? I don't know yet, because I'd first have to read the article. Feast day today, and a busy week with travel, so I don't know when that will be. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:45, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
Long thread, no time to study. - The Offenbach piece - whatever the genre - will not go to TFA before October, and I think the blurb doesn't have to be fixed until shortly before, this being a project in progress. I'm already amazed how long it kept the composer busy, from premiere to revised version. I'm completely unbiased and innocent, because I never had the pleasure of seeing it on stage. It seems not to be performed much in Germany, - that's why I was so surprised about the "most successful". And then "of his operas" while German textbooks will claim that he wrote only one, which we know as Hoffmann's Erzählungen, often performed in Germany, seen several times, and there's an iconic film. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:23, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Dank. I just wanted to drop in and ask if you'd like to look over this FAC for 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, which I'm hoping to get promoted in time for a TFA on July 10 (the 20th anniversary of the final, and only three days after this year's Women's World Cup final). I don't think it's too soon to be thinking about the TFA blurb, which I'd struggle to keep under the character limit. SounderBruce06:26, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
Sounder, The current TFA is date-linked and went through WP:TFAR, so I'm reluctant to change that. What about 7 July, the date of this year's final, so actually a more prominent date for most potential readers? The current incumbent is a free choice, so could be moved if yours goes through in time. Any views on that, Dan? Jimfbleak - talk to me?12:55, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
7 July would also work, and would pair nicely with the ITNR for this year's final (especially if the U.S. repeats as champion). SounderBruce01:10, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
Dan, I realise it hasn't been promoted yet, but Bruce is assuming that it will get promoted in time, so it's as well to have a contingency plan. If it doean't get through in time, then this discussion is of no effect. The horse on 7th can easily be put back in the stable if necessary. Jimfbleak - talk to me?05:37, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
