Hey, you've been a lot of help when it's come to FLC reviews for me in the recent months, so I was wondering if you had some time, if you could have a look at my first FAC. If you're busy or not interested, no problem. -- ZooBlazer 01:14, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I will try and take a look in the next few days! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:35, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		You are one of the pillars and driving forces in the FAC and FLC review processes. Your contributions and quality of work have been recognized numerous times, and I am one of the many who have greatly benefited and learned from your expertise and tireless reviews in the FA and FL, as well as FT spaces in Wikipedia. It is truly an honor to have a chance to collaborate, interact and receive feedback from one of the greats! May you continue to inspire many more editors with the wealth and diversity of your work!

@Pseud 14: - gosh, thank you for your very kind words! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, if I had known it was your topic then I would've asked you about it before nominating it. I apologise for the inconvenience because I know how tedious WP:FTs can be. Idiosincrático (talk) 11:16, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Idiosincrático: - don't worry about it :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 11:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am reaching out in regards to the wWiki entry from teh sinegr Mabel. Someone keeps reverting her background from "English-Swedish" to "English" siting "no proof of citizenship". I just included this link from The Guarding about Swedish RnB and souls singers. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/dec/01/scandipop-mabel-zhala-seinabo-sey In fact no article linked states her citizenhip as eitehr Swedish nor English, but having a Swedish mother, English father and spent ages 8-18 (ten years) in Swedena nd teh Swedish schol system, I fail to see how she shoudl only be listed as "English". Isn't this sabotage? Can you help out? (I remember when her mom became famous in the late 80's, media always questioned her being Swedish since she was black. Now Mabel seems to have teh same issue on Wikipedia. Frustrating Fantomen73 (talk) 20:12, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review on List of UEFA Champions League hat-tricks. After its successful promotion, I was planning on working on a new list. Then I came across List of Baltimore Ravens head coaches. I haven't worked on on yet. The lack of head coaches kind of reduces the content in the list. I have previously seen a list been denied promotion due to lack of content. Should I an FLC nomination for this, or is the content too less. eg: List of Cleveland Browns head coaches is already FLC.

Hello. Do you mind reviewing my article I worked on (Sarah Geronimo) for GA criteria? I'm planning to have it featured on the DYK on the mainpage. ScarletViolet (talk • contribs) 11:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if one should include only league gates in the average attendance statistics, rather than league and cup matches. For example with the Bath City FC Archive, before 1984 the average attendance statistic is just one reading: 1977–78 Bath City season

After 1984 however, averages are split into both League and Cup: 1984–85 Bath City season Would it make more sense to add them and divide by two or just use league gates? Thanks. Krashaon19 (talk) 16:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Krashaon19: - I see no reason not to include cup attendances, but whatever you do don't add the average league attendance to the average cup attendance and divide by two, because that won't give you the overall average, given that there are way more league matches than cup matches. You would need to add the individual attendances for all matches together and divide by the number of matches -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:52, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay makes sense, thank you Chris :) Krashaon19 (talk) 18:28, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
