Old business
Hello, Anastrophe. I hope this post finds you well.
I would like to invite you to confer with me on the federal AWB talk page to finish up some old business that stalled some months ago. I believe we had nearly reached some agreement on the "Criteria of an assault weapon" section of that article. Our last discussion is archived at Compromise on cosmetic.

RSN notice
I have started a discussion at RSN called Gun show loophole that you may be interested in. Lightbreather (talk) 00:16, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
A favor, por favor
I can't initiate a Good Article reassessment of Gun violence in the United States because I'm not allowed to create the necessary page. Would you be able to do that for me? I think this is the link:[1], or there's one for "community reassessment" at the top of the talk page. Here's the reason I'm asking for a reassessment: (five tildes gives a timestamp).
- The article has not been reassessed since 2006 and there've been a lotta changes since then. Two big problems: the intro doesn't summarize the article, and it contains repetitive, non-neutral text. [[user:162.119.231.132]] ~~~~~
If it's a request you'd rather not fulfill I'll ask someone else next time I'm logged on here. 162.119.231.132 (talk) 18:20, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- There's more! After it's created it needs to be transluded:
- 3.Transclude your review onto the article talk page by adding {{Talk:ArticleName/GAn}} to the bottom of the last section on the article talk page: you need to replace ArticleName and n by the name of the article and the subpage number.
- That should be {{Talk:Gun violence in the United States/Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Gun violence in the United States/2}}. I hope. This is more work than I thought. Sorry! All the more reason to blow it off. 162.119.231.132 (talk) 18:29, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm no longer an illegal alien on Wikipedia. I should be able to handle this myself now. Pardon the bother. Felsic (talk) 15:15, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Help
That's great! What kind words. So to confirm (please forgive my wiki-ignorance) -- I must cite all information on the page? Thank you again.
The first to be nominated! Babel, 2007.
FAC input
Hi! Would you be interested in commenting or reviewing my FAC for the article xx (album)? It's received one editor's comments but no follow-up yet, so anything would be appreciated. Dan56 (talk) 12:30, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

if..., then... (IPv4)
The 'then' after an 'if' is really not required, and omitting it is quite common usage ("If you build it, they will come."). In some cases the 'then' sounds rather stuffy. I'd say it's probably close to 50/50 as to whether or not the 'then' is included. The comma is always required. There are a variety of examples of both forms in English conditional sentences, and a variety of easily findable discussions of the topic on the Internet. OTOH, I'm not going to belabor the point over at IPv4, although I do think it sounds stuffier with the 'then'. Rwessel (talk) 20:21, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
