User talk:SandyGeorgia/FA work

A couple of possible process improvements that occurred to me as I went through the work list: Thoughts? Maralia (talk) 19:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Why not change the FAC instructions to encourage reviewers to include their name in any bolded Comments note (Comments by Maralia etc)? Most of the reviewers who leave long comments are FAC regulars and should be able to remember this (plus they're probably used to it from peer review), and it should preemptively head off most situations that result in interrupted insertion later.
 * Has anyone approached Bish about removing the FAC category from that old April Fools article? It's not resulting from a transclusion - the category is actually linked on the talk page. This is really minor, but it would be nice to make the numbers match up.
 * I haven't approached Bish, and I always worry about FAC instructions growing. Actually, I'm so ... preoccupied ... with trying to figure out what we're going to do about Gimmebotification, that I haven't fully focused on what the heck I can do to encourage FAC regulars to pick up some of these items.  None of this is essential, it's just behind the scenes things that make everything easier.  I did all of this before I was Raul's delegate; doing it and being delegate has doubled my load, at the same time that I took on shepherding the Dispatches.

 * I understand, as well as anyone can, I think :) As long as you're not opposed to the 'Comments by' idea, I'll propose it at WP:FA in a day or so. Even if it doesn't go through as an actual change to the instructions, if just a few of the long-winded FAC regulars (like me, Laser, Awadewit) pick up the habit anyway, it could save some effort on cleanup passes. I'll leave Bish a note about the cat. As to Gimmebotification: didn't User:Happy-melon offer to take over? Maralia (talk) 19:44, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Still working on that issue. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 19:51, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
