New FAC and PR[edit]

To any friendly talk page watchers, I have:

If there is anyone who fancies commenting, I would be grateful. Cheers - SchroCat (talk)

FAC[edit]

@SchroCat Hope you are having a wonderful day and are in good spirits. I, alongside Keivan.f, have listed the article Catherine, Princess of Wales at FAC. It would be greatly appreciated if you could leave a few comments to help further improve the quality of this already GA-class article. I assure you it will be a great read. Looking forward to your response. Regards and yours faithfully. MSincccc (talk) 10:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MSincccc, thanks for your note. Sorry, but I find the topic of the royals about as tedious and meaningless as any other pointless modern pseudo-celebrity, so I'm going to have to pass on it. Good luck in your review, though. - SchroCat (talk) 11:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat Do you know any other user(s) who might be interested? You could recommend the nomination to them. In return, I would be happy to leave comments at any future FACs in which you are involved. Thanks for letting me know of your opinion though. Looking forward to your response. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 12:57, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat I have pinged multiple users whose names were mentioned on the FAC mentors page. However, most of them seem to have ignored my mentions and requests. Do you have any advice or solution for me? Looking forward to your response. It would be greatly appreciated. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 08:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, have patience. FACs take up to two months, sometimes longer. Continually pinging and pressing for reviews only annoys the regulars and makes it less likely that people will spend their limited online time in reviewing your nomination. Spend your time reviewing other articles - not only will it make people more likely to return the favour, but you'll learn a lot about both quality writing and how the FAC process works. - SchroCat (talk) 08:53, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should I leave my comments for the article Ann Cook (cookery book writer) on its Peer Review page or on its FAC once it has been nominated? I have read it and would like to provide a few suggestions, even though Tim riley has already made excellent recommendations. It’s a good article, especially considering it comes from an area outside my expertise (cooking). However, it was an interesting read. Looking forward to knowing from you. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 14:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The PR would be great thanks (I prefer to get everything ironed out pre-FACfor an easier and quieter process there). Thanks - SchroCat (talk) 11:57, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see the royals getting the same respect at FAC as they get from the rest of the country! :) ——Serial Number 54129 14:44, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Serial Number 54129 I know that was going to happen. If you have any suggestions, please do let me know? Looking forward to your response. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 15:13, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions? Well, I think Bert Baxter suggested moving them all to a council estate in Milton Keynes, which seems a good start. ——Serial Number 54129 19:27, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
