 * Thanks for the prompt review, Georgejdorner. I might be blind, but I can't see your suggested Alt1? If a shorter version is necessary, then I'd prefer not to leave out the author (as she died this week), but perhaps the 143-character:
 * that Margaret Forster's biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (pictured) rewrote the myth of the invalid poet guarded by an ogre-like father?
 * I hadn't seen the anniversary, but I'm very happy for it to be saved for 6 March. Espresso Addict (talk) 09:05, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Your vision is probably unimpaired. I am subject to embarrassing lapses into absentmindedness, as can be seen. My suggestion is now above, so that you may check it for accuracy. My apologies are here.Georgejdorner (talk) 16:20, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! All three suggestions seem fine to me. Espresso Addict (talk) 16:30, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Either hook is good, though ALT1 is preferred for brevity's sake. This nomination is GTG. Recommend it run on March 6.
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Please ignore the red Xs above. They are an artifact of the template I am using.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Note to Georgejdorner: if there are no other problems in that category, the eligibilityother, policyother, and hookother fields should be left blank, not given a "y" value. I've taken the liberty of deleting the inappropriate "y" entries, which gets rid of the red Xs. See the template documentation for details. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:48, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Your reply sparked my inspection of my stored template, and you are indeed correct. I am unsure how those extraneous Xs came about, but I have a feeling the fellow inside my skin bears at least some responsibility. Thank you, BlueMoonset, for the corrections and the info. I shall go and try to sin no more.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:05, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
