If I understand the new rule correctly, both should still be fine, because they were nominated at DYK before their GANs passed. LittleMountain5 16:01, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I see Keamy GA pass time is 19:45, 2 July 2008 (UTC) at Talk:Martin Keamy/GA1. A mouseover pointed to this edit at 04:40, 3 July 2008. On closer inspection, I see that this earlier edit at 0:26, 29 June 2008 means we are all good.

I see Brenda's GA pass time is 19:40, 9 January 2010 (UTC) at Talk:Tropical Storm Brenda (1960)/GA1 and Brenda's nom 21:39, 5 January 2010. I think when I did the mouseover on the preview button for this diff it looked like 9 January instead of 5.

Apologies. Trying to rip through 75 of these, I took some shortcuts using mouseovers so I did not have to wait for pages to load. It looks like we won't lose any FOURs.--

Chicago Board of Trade Building: LurkingInChicago (talk · contribs) should definitely receive FOUR credit, because he created the first encyclopedic content, wrote the vast majority of the article, and was active in all four stages of development (less so at FAC, but I think his contributions there were significant enough for consideration).

South Side, Chicago: I'm not sure if Speciate (talk · contribs) was involved enough in the later stages of the article's development to receive FOUR credit. (Assuming the article ever regains its FA status.)

No. 2 Operational Conversion Unit RAAF: I don't think Nick-D (talk · contribs) was involved enough to meet FOUR's DYK, GA, or FA criteria. LittleMountain5 16:50, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Nice job on List of longest streams of Idaho, which has been promoted to Featured List. Finetooth (talk) 17:41, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

The content was deleted because the information you posted (copied from older sources and not your own research) regarding Dinacoma is not up to date/accurate. I am in the process of revising the genus and there have been some taxonomic changes that you are not aware of. I'm open to new taxonomic and morphological information if you have any to contribute? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.234.183.121 (talk) 20:12, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

If you would like to remove the current paragraph and replace it with more recent/accurate information, please feel free to do so, provided that you have a

original research. Also, I did not write the article (and indeed know very little about this particular beetle), so please contact the main author, Melchoir (talk · contribs), or post on the article's talk page regarding any perceived factual inaccuracies. Cheers, LittleMountain5

Mexico river list

Thanks for the heads-up. I've never thought about the problem you've pointed out. Does the entire sandbox history automatically tag along every time I create a new article in a sandbox and then move it to mainspace? If so, I may have done this 200 times, not sure. Should I be doing something different? Finetooth (talk) 23:49, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Oh, it probably only happens during a "move" rather than when I use cut-and-paste. So maybe the other 199 creations did not have this problem? Finetooth (talk) 23:52, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the edit history only moves when the page is moved, not when it is cut-and-pasted. So if the sandbox is new and the entire history is relevant to the article, moving is great. But if the sandbox is older and has a long history, all those old edits will come along with it, so it's better to cut-and-paste. It's really not too big of a problem—just a little confusing for anyone looking at the page history. (As it stands, the Mexico list appears to have over 5,000 revisions!) Cheers, LittleMountain5 00:04, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this and seeking a remedy. Finetooth (talk) 00:26, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

No problem. The list's history is fixed, but due to the difficulty of the request, the other edits are now at

User:Finetooth/South Fork Clackamas River, and User:Finetooth/Sandbox6. Sorry about that; do whatever you want with them. LittleMountain5

Huggle 3

Hey Little_Mountain_5! I am Petrb, one of core developers of Huggle, the antivandalism tool, which you are beta testing (according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Members#Beta_testers). I am happy to announce that Huggle 3 is ready for some testing. You can read more about it at WP:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta. Please keep in mind that this is a development version and it is not ready for regular use. That means you must:

• Watch your contribs - when anything happens you didn't want, fix it and report a bug
• Frequently checkout source code and build latest version, we change it a lot

If you find any problem with a feature that is supposed to work perfectly, please let us know. Some features are not ready yet, it is listed in known problems on Huggle3 beta page, you don't need to report these - we know it! So, that's it. Have fun testing and please let us know about any problems, either using bugzilla @ http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/ or #huggle ^connect. Please respond to my talk page, I am not going to watch your talk page. Thank you Petrb (talk) 10:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for getting that, Little Mountain. May I ask, where did you see the request? Is User:AnomieBOT/TPERTable on your watchlist? --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:34, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

No problem! Yes, TPERTable is on my watchlist and I also just added it to my user page earlier today. If there are any other templates that need fixing, let me know. LittleMountain5 07:40, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the info; nice to know the new system (template-protected requests, I mean) is working. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:56, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

The edit on the BJ Upton page may seem inappropriate, however, it is correct. Records show that Upton had been acting as a pimp for the baseball team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.175.16 (talk) 23:18, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
