My FAC was archived again. While I disagree with the seemingly rushed pace of this process, I realize now that I should have gotten some editors to review and support before I renominated. That being said, I have submitted a GOCE request and am going to try to see if I can get some users to support before I attempt again. I only plan to attempt one more time, but I'm already starting to think I'm pushing a lost cause. Some users seem to think that the maps RfC may have dissuaded some users from the U.S. Roads project.

Hello, I would like to try to get Interstate 40 in Tennessee to FA status one last time. But before I do so, I'd like to know, would you support the article in its current form? Thanks. Bneu2013 ( talk) 06:31, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

[s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

HI @ Rschen7754: I'm saddened to see you are planning to leave Wikipedia. I hope at some point you find a path back. You have done excellent work and the place won't be the same without you. scope_creep Talk 09:06, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
Interesting to read about the reasons a number of road editors split from Wikipedia. A number of the most prolific medical editors have also split off to MDWiki. Part of our reason for splitting had to do with EN Wikipedia declining to permit discussions around the costs of medications unless heavily covered in the popular press, ie expensive in the United States plus the unpleasantness of many interactions here. Wondering if you have any use for NC licensed images? We also host NC Commons and are happy to see others use it. Best Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 01:58, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
