Yellowhammer
Hi Robert, I've just begun a very long process to work Yellowhammer up to FA. I started with the "In Culture" section because it's the area I know least about. I wonder if you would mind having a look to see if what I've said about Messiaen and Beethoven makes any sense. Thanks Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:53, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 12, 2015
- Thank you for your edit to the draft. However, there was a reason for having the full lead there. Dank, one of the TFA coordinators, writes the TFA synopses based on the leads of the articles selected for TFA by the other coordinators (in this case, me). Having the lead copied in full allows him to more easily draft his text. He has not had a chance to reach June 12th yet, since there are still other TFAs which are being refined. It certainly wouldn't have run on the main page in such shape.
- I don't know if Dan wants to work from scratch or polish the text you've written, but if the latter is the case I should note that we need to lose another 125 characters of prose to keep the main page balanced. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks Chris. The answer is: both ... first I'll work from the lead text without looking at what Robert has done, then I'll take what he's done into account. I'm happy when people participate. Of course, TFA standards are based on WP:FAC standards, and the best way to learn those is to participate at FAC, as a writer or reviewer. - Dank (push to talk) 13:00, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
History of American football
The featured article History of American football, an article you have edited significantly in the past, is currently at around 160 kb in length. The maximum allowable article size per WP:SIZE is 100 kb. While some bits of information could probably be pared down, most of the article is still surprisingly well written and referenced (despite growing in size by 2/3rds since being promoted to FA status several years ago). The article will need to be brought back to a smaller size, a discussion is underway at Talk:History of American football to decide the best way to handle that. We want to preserve all of the good information there, but the rules require us to split the article up somehow. If you are interested in helping decide how to do that, please come by the article talk page where the discussion is currently underway. Thanks! --Jayron32 12:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
