Drop-down menus bug report
I see you filed a bug report about the drop-down menus user-interface gadget. I have nothing to do with that gadget, but I'm wondering if you didn't notice that the page history tab (along with move and watch) is actually replaced by a menu item under the "page" tab. If so, then all the functionality is still there, just in a different place. - dcljr (talk) 16:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, thanks. The developer told me about that shortly after I filed the mistaken bug report. :-) —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93;  ‹(-¿-)› 01:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

2012 Election Need Your Feedback
I noticed you were a regular editor on the 2008 election page. Myself and other editors are odds on some edits we are trying to make to the page. Since you have already been involved in probably similar discussion, we would greatly appreciate hearing your feedback on the 2012 election discussion page under the Republicans and Ruled Out discussions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:United_States_presidential_election,_2012#Republicans.3F

 * I'm going to decline involvement; the 2012 election is not a topic with which I have any notable familiarity. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93; ‹(-¿-)› 18:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of place of birth info from text
As you've had a hand in this guideline, perhaps you could assist in the discussion at. Tx.--Epeefleche (talk) 18:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks much. The conversation seems to have moved (with new editors providing input) to ... I wonder if I could ask you to take a look there, and perhaps even just cut and paste your views there if you think appropriate, as otherwise other interested editors may miss them? Also, I'm at wits end with Green -- as despite a clear consensus with your point (other than him), he still seems disinclined to revert his 60-odd deletions.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:54, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Spinks "C class"; various other matters
Hey Stanton. I was looking at William A. Spinks earlier today and I noticed that it is listed as C class on the talk page which is absurd so I went to the change it and it is already listed as B class by the coding, so something's going on with the display of the cue sports project assessment template. I fixed one fact tag in the lead and another in the farming section (by replacing them with citations). This is so close to submission for good article. If you can't find anything to expand the farming and oilman sections you can just fold them into his personal life. Some tidbits I found in searches you may not have come across:, , use the zoom box to highlight the red text, same, same, same (notice the use of "goose egg"), [http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn99021999/1893-12-22/ed-1/seq-2/;words=A+a+Spink+W new information? Spinks was Schaefer's manager], same, same, same. Did you ever notice that I had responded to you at User talk:Fuhghettaboutit/List of pocket billiards games?--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:11, 18 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for looking into it; I keep meaning to finish up my research on that one, but I get side-tracked by other matters. I agree that after the farming and oil sections are fleshed out a little (they may only need a paragraph each with 2-3 citations), that it is a solid GA candidate. Thanks for the links; most or all of those are new to me. I may have some time this week to work on it, since all of my pool leagues are presently on between-season break, so I have time to breathe. :-)  Hadn't noticed your response on the other page; will check it out. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93;  ‹(-¿-)› 19:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC) I didn't get around to it, actually... —  SMcCandlish    Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs.


 * PS: The B/C class thing: If any of the B-class "checklist" parameters are not "y", any article tagged as B class will still show up as C. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93;  ‹(-¿-)› 01:20, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Charles Dickens on billiards!
If you have not seen this before (I hadn't), check this out. Who knew? And a rather involved and interesting history it is.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:21, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
