Ronald Reagan TFA blurb
editIt really sticks out that the front page blurb expends 19 words on Reagan's tenure as SAG president, but completely leaves out him serving as Governor of California for two terms. @Wehwalt and Art LaPella: I realize it's quite late to address this, but it would be good if the blurb could be improved. Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 09:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- That's been done. Wehwalt (talk) 12:16, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:19, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Factcheckers welcome
editAs you all may know, Dying was active as a factchecker at TFA for several years. I was a fan of their work, but they haven't edited in a while. I've run a bunch of checks on the July blurbs, but I haven't checked everything, and I'd appreciate any additional eyes on these before they get to the Main Page. Thanks in advance. - Dank (push to talk) 20:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
@Wehwalt and Dank: I do apologise for the ping, but a random user by the name of Mal Maldive, scheduled Germany for TFA on 1 August 2024. You might consider looking into this. 750h+ 12:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- I did email Gog the mild, whose month it will be. I imagine that they will get around to it when they schedule August. If there are any nominations for September 1, they can go ahead without worrying about this.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, Gog the Mild. I seem to be doing that a lot today!--Wehwalt (talk) 13:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
