User talk:Hog Farm/2006 sort

Completed
- Had a couple free hours come up I wasn't expecting. Excluding those currently at FAR, we've got 71 different FAC nominators, as well as one old Brilliant Prose one that I can't track down the history of effectively. Hurricanehink has 11; other active users with multiple are MONGO, and Titoxd. The only inactive or largely inactive ones with three or more are Yomangani, Kingboyk, Emsworth, and TimVickers.

 * Just quickly glancing at your list, there are plenty of additional notes and generalities we would add. For example, I'm pretty sure that Cla68's old work is all sound. The Emsworth expert is DrKay. Hurricanehink's work was not as far as I know, plagued by the current problems, although a lot of it needs updating (and I doubt he's interested in doing it in the current environment ... those might involve a personal query).  Tim Vickers, that's up to Graham and me, so we could put our heads together ... Jimfbleak will handle Sabine's Sunbird ... and so on.  What we need to do next is simply identify problematic areas and come up with ideas for how to handle them, sample:
 * Tim Vickers: Graham Beards and SG put heads together
 * Sabine's Sunbird: will be handled by Jimfbleak ...
 * and so on, so we can see where we have to make exceptions. Raul is not Hilary Putnam; the bot returns that because it was a restart of the World's Worst FAC ever. How/where do you want me to add notes?  Do you want me to re-summarize here on talk, or edit your userspace directly ?  First thing though, fix Raul, and group all hurricanes ... get the medical and Vickers grouped together ... get all the biology together so we can see what Funkmonk can do ... that is, regroup your list by who might work on them between now and late summer.  A number of those are already getting close ... Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  19:10, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I've got Raul fixed (didn't read the first line of that FAC close enough). I'm perfectly fine with you editing my userspace directly here; you've got a lot more institutional memory than I do (about half these names mean nothing to me).  Work got busy again; will have to check back in this evening. Hog Farm Talk 19:29, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Will pick away on this as I'm able; dinner party tonight, and tomorrow I have to start on Draft 3 at JKR. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  19:33, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * PS Arbitration/Requests/Case/WikiProject Tropical Cyclones looks like the target date will have it settled by May, so perhaps we should just group those, and be sure not to bug any of them for now, as my sense is the entire project is traumatized. Who knows what will happen there depending on how that goes, so we should avoid adding extra stress until we have a direction. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)  19:38, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Oopsie ... I lost a boatload of work, moves and comments in edit conflict; can I try again ? Sandy Georgia (Talk)  20:08, 1 April 2022 (UTC)


 * PS a lot of them, independent of the content area, depend upon Ceoil, so I was listing them more by who we have to talk to then strictly by content area ... let me know ... Sandy Georgia (Talk)  20:10, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You do your thing; I won't touch this until you give the all-clear so that I don't edit-conflict you again. 20:16, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Going in, but only have half an hour, will see how far I get ... Sandy Georgia (Talk)  20:20, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

OK, I'm done .. that's how I look at the list. There are some that depend on individual outcomes (arbcase, Yellowstone fires) as to how we should approach; others that we would overburden one editor or WikiProject, so we should individually ask, and others that are just plain FAR-able. If we sort out the exceptions, and figure out who if any is willing/able to work on some, we can find how big the FAR issue is. We have a bigger MilHist problem than I had realized, and of course the Hurricane situation. Whether people will grant an exception for MONGO probably depends on how Yellowstone fires go. Other than that, there are few areas where we have to worry about overburdening any individual or project, and we should just check. We should also focus amongst ourselves on getting the very FARable moving before mid-year. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  20:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I pestered MILHIST about all of those sans Finnish Civil War a week ago, and have only gotten the attention to Rhys and then one set of notes on Ceresole. I'm still hopeful I can pester Peacemaker67 or Nick-D or somebody to touch up Cla68's two without FAR, but if there's no response within another week or two on Missouri, Dien Bien Phu, Ulm, and the Cretan War should be moved to the OK for FAR section.  Dumelow helped out when Battle of Blehnheim was at FAR, so maybe they'll be willing to look at Schellenberg, which is similar.  I'll give Toledo War a look at some point.  Ljleppan doesn't have FA experience, but one of MILHIST's 20th-century Finland people, so maybe they can look at Finnish Civil War. Hog Farm Talk 21:54, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
 * So I'm going to assume you're birddogging those, and will keep you posted as I start in on others ... until JKR is done, I'll be moving slowly ... Sandy Georgia (Talk)  22:21, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
