FAR ready

Susan, if you can adjust the final para at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Minneapolis/archive1 as you wish, remove my parenthetical note, and add your signature, I'll transclude and complete the notifications. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:12, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, SandyGeorgia. All set. -SusanLesch (talk) 21:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Transcluded and notifications done. Some pointers. FAR will probably take a month or two. FAR is not dispute resolution, so if anything gets testy, perhaps try to let the FAR regulars handle it. If anything gets VERY lengthy, it's better taken to article talk, as the point of FAR is to end up with a yea or nay. There is no time pressure; if anything is complicated, it's OK to explore it at article talk-- the FAR will continue as long as there is progress, and work done on talk can be summarized back to the FAR every few weeks. I'll be out the rest of the evening, but if anything goes south, just be patient and let regulars weigh in first ... remember that nothing happens quickly at FAR, and there is no urgency, so don't jump to responses that fill the FAR unnecessarily if things can be resolved instead on talk. Good luck; you've hung in there for so long that I hope you'll get a speedy resolution! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:34, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
