FAC [edit]

Seems to me you jumped the gun on that FAC. Only three votes? And two of them just cast in the past few hours, which makes the discussion clearly still volatile. FAC isn't a race; we leave them open a great deal longer as appropriate, and I think the community was clearly still engaged in its collective deliberations. Just saying. --Pi zero (talk) 22:36, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

The FAC was open for a month and I saw no opposition to it becoming a featured article during the entire month the FAC discussion was open. Though, I must admit I did not notice that there had been two votes were cast before I closed the discussion. I did notice the newly listed candidate and it drew my attention to the then-open FAC. If you feel that the FAC should be re-opened for further discussion, then re-open it if you find it necessary. —Mikemoral♪♫ 07:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
I see no reason to re-open that particular FAC at this time; I might eventually have decided to vote for it.
We're in agreement perhaps that the recent volatility would have been a fair reason to leave it open for a while; I recall not closing one for a few more days, a while ago, because it had enough votes but someone had just added an oppose.
I maintain that the small number of votes would also be a reason to leave it open. I doubt I would ever (famous last words) promote a FAC if fewer than five people had voted. --Pi zero (talk) 11:36, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
In the future, I will make sure that there was ample time for any opposition or other comments since the last votes before closing again. —Mikemoral♪♫ 22:44, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

'Django Unchained' returns to Chinese cinemas [edit]

Hi. Can you check 'Django Unchained' returns to Chinese cinemas to make sure all the sources are used? Four sources seems excessive and I do not mind checking... but if all are not used, would like the ones not used eliminated so I can do the review. --LauraHale (talk) 06:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

I took a look and the sources check out. The Xinhua source might be excessive since the other sources contain the same information. I made a few more changes as well. —Mikemoral♪♫ 07:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
And on a side note, none of the sources mention the original US release date, though I think it's fine to confirm that with IMDb. The lead actors are mentioned in sources, however. —Mikemoral♪♫ 07:11, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you [edit]

Thank you for the administrative and clean up assistance with articles that need some help that you are providing. :)

Glad to be at least somewhat of a help. :) —Mikemoral♪♫ 15:34, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Audio files [edit]

Just as a heads up, the audio files were added based on comments where Brian suggested the reporter read the lead out loud to see how it sounds. That was my contribution to that to give an idea as to exactly how that sounds. The audio files shouldn't be in any final version of the article, and can probably be deleted shortly. --LauraHale (talk) 01:17, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
