Re. new user User:ACP2011
Hi Hassocks
We have a new editor of only 2 weeks who is writing great stuff like Arras Flying Services Memorial. I asked him to put it in for DYK which he tried but ended up confused. The system has changed since I last used it and I am pretty confused too. It would be really kind if you could show him the ropes.--Charles (talk) 22:34, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
FAC
Thanks for your latest comments on my talk page. For some time now I have been working on an article about Edmund Sharpe, who created the architectural practice in Lancashire that later had a series of partners named Paley and Austin. The practice continued for over a century and designed a high proportion of the 19th and 20th-century churches in Northwest England. He was also something of a polymath, building railways in Northwest England, Wales, Switzerland and France; and amongst other things, as a town councillor and mayor, he reformed the sanitation and water supply of Lancaster. I have submitted the article as a FAC here, and you may be interested in taking a look at it. Best wishes. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 14:58, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
Nominations

Another amazing list! Superb job!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:46, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Congratulations on this. I remember photographing St Paul's, Elstead a few years back so I will try to find those and also fill in a few other photos when I can get round them.--Charles (talk) 14:02, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks all! The list took a fair amount of planning behind the scenes. @ Charles: I made use of quite a few of your pics from Commons, which have proved very useful; I am planning a several-day trip to the district to cover off some of the more obscure ones, but the more gaps can be filled in the less walking to and from bus stops I have to do...!

On new pic replacements
Putting some comments regarding some of the new replacement pictures:
- St Andrew's, Worthing: I think the old pic shows the proportions better as well as more details. Even with the tree blocking the view on a part of the façade, the angle on the new pic actually makes it just as hard to make out what is going on there.
- St Botolph's, Heene, although the older pic is far from ideal too, I think showing a church's façade should be an important feature for a list image.
- St Mary of the Angel's, Worthing: Not convinced this is not change for change's sake. The bright shadowlines on the new pic seem distracting more than anything. The lamp post is not that problematic (if it is at all)!
- Brethren Gospel Hall, Worthing: This one's kind of a currency vs. aesthetics debate. On the aesthetics side, the former image is obviously better.
- Methodist Chapel, Worthing: again, change for change's sake, and the big glare-y part in the new pic looks terrible.
