Nice job, Tony. - Dank (push to talk) 21:33, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing written about Paterson Clarence Hughes and the text for the FLs are pretty weak too. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 18:05, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot of featured content and our current pool of FC writers is about three people, so they struggle to tackle all the content in any given week. Gamaliel (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re the featured lists- they're actually quite difficult to write about. For example "List of awards won by X" where the majority are obscure industry awards. "X is a blah blah blah and has won umpteen awards, including Best Widget in an Overnight Production Capacity." zzzzzz… I assumed Pat Hughes got left out because Tony interviewed the writer- so I didn't add anything myself. I only had time to do Etty and Vonnegut. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 18:39, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just checking in while travelling, as the interviewee I also figured that was the reason for no blurb on Hughes -- seemed a bit redundant. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 08:29, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Great interview! Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 20:09, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think it was possible for a Metallica album to not have been an FA yet.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:27, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
