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)
