Thank you today for Talyllyn Railway, introduced (in 2008): "I just stumbled across this article after visiting the railway on holiday with my son, who's a big steam fan, and taking a picture which I thought could be added to WP. When I saw the quality of the article (and the existing pictures, which were much better than mine!) and that it had narrowly missed out on FA once before, I thought I'd give it a helping hand so have gone through and given it a pretty ruthless copy edit, which I think now brings it up to FA standard."! - Good timing to see it again for the anniversary. I had wanted a 300th anniversary but when I saw this one nominated I relaxed and just brought it to OTD. The FAC for it is still open. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:00, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

update: Gott fähret auf mit Jauchzen, BWV 43 is now a FA. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:54, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Comment

Hi Chris! You recently stated that you will review my recent FAC, and I really do appreciate it. However, I've gathered 4-5 supports from it today, so instead of this, could you please take a look for this article? There's still no comment for it yet over a month, so I'd like to listen your thoughts for this. I'm sorry if I minded you, thanks! Camilasdandelions (✉️) 04:23, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

@Camilasdandelions: - no problem. I can do it while listening to "Dry Spell" playing on BBC Radio One for the hundredth time this week ;-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 06:37, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
Thanks a lot! I really love that song too. I'm looking forward to your review, hope you have a nice weekend this week! :) Camilasdandelions (✉️) 06:39, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

List of Gillingham F.C. records and statistics

Hello Chris, apologies but its me again. For the International caps section it has Andrew Crofts as 12 for Wales, which is correct from his permanent stint with the club. When he rejoined Gillingham on loan in 2016, he earned an additional cap for Wales. So my question is, should this be updated to 13 or does the parent club have the benefit of having that cap attributed to them? Randomnia (talk) 10:57, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

@Randomnia: - that's a very good question and in all honesty I am not sure. I'll have to have a look through some of my football reference books and see if I can find an example of a player in a similar situation and how they are treated..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:07, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
@ChrisTheDudeThanks Chris, I look forward to your findings. Randomnia (talk) 14:35, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
