Personalization

Regarding these posts:[1] [2]

Montana, pls review the instructions at FAR. First, a talk page notification is given weeks in advance (as DrKiernan is a Coordinator here, I don't doubt he did that, although I haven't checked). Second, the FAR is listed at the top of the talk page. Third, individual and WP notifications are made-- it is all laid out in FAR instructions. Fourth, DrK indicates the article was tagged for 18 months, so clearly it is not watched. This is a case where not only did standards improve, but no one is watching the article, so we have "normal" deterioration on top of sources that passed FAC in older times that would never pass even GA today.

Knock if off, Ched; this isn't the place for your personalization. First, I worked quite closely on several FACs with the nominator, Wimvandorst and, IIRC, got one of my first barnstars from him, so I don't know what "grudge" you're referencing. Second, no one said "scouting" is a "hobby"; pinetreeweb.com, used to cite a good deal of the article, is not a reliable source. It is a personal hobby website. Third, I apply the same standards to every FAC and FAR. So, if you have reason to support that pinetreeweb is a reliable source, pls bring that forward here, and leave your personalization of your issues and misunderstanding of how FAR works and accusations at the door.

PS, Montanabw, I'm sorry I rolled my response to you in under the same heading as my response to Ched, since you are asking legitimate questions based on an apparent misunderstanding of FAR processes, while it is Ched who is personalizing and making (unfounded) accusations.

correction now that I've checked ... not one of my first barnstars, but my first barnstar. User:SandyGeorgia/Barnstars#Barnstars. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:25, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

And now, I see also Montanabw is caught up on article talk: thanks! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:38, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

@WP:FAR coordinators: Would anyone care to move Ched's personalization off of the FAR to this talk page? As far as I can tell, his comments don't reference anything useful to FAR. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:29, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
