I am probably about to get blocked (ANI), so would you please watch over my FA article and update it as necessary. REC is the best source for information, as is RadioInsight. I would greatly appreciate it. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:08, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reading through, I don't think that'll end up being the outcome, but I'll do what I can. Added to my watchlist. Mlaffs (talk) 23:00, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Perhaps not, but I've already gotten a "pile on" to the article itself, cause apparently some of the logos don't meet NFCC#8. So, basically, it's a drive-by insult pile on, dismantle my FA, and see what finally makes me "snap". At this point, I'm honestly not seeing the net-positive (to steal a word from the thread) of the project itself or my being here. So, I want the article to be in good and trusted hands. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:24, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
