Snooker world rankings 1990/1991

I'm not expecting you to recall an edit from ten years ago in detail, but is there any reason that you removed Alex Higgins from the list in your edit to Snooker world rankings 1990/1991 ↗ in the Revision as of 16:10, 24 June 2013? As far as I can tell, from sources, he should be listed at 14th. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:27, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping|BennyOnTheLoose}} I don’t know, but according to two of the sources in the article he wasn’t ranked 14th. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 13:55, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
::*Interesting. ''Snooker Scene'' lists him at 14th at the start of the season - perhaps he got fined points later. I'll have a look. Thanks! Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:08, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
::*:Ah yes, I should have remembered, a ban, and 25 points deducted ↗. This was after the initial ranking list was published. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:14, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Snooker lists

Hello. Back in 2012 you created a template called Template:Snooker ranking title winners ↗. As far as I can ascertain, the only place this is used is in the List of snooker players by number of ranking titles ↗. Now this is very clever and it works really well. I have recently been going through various snooker related lists changing <nowiki>{{flagicon|}}</nowiki> to the preferred <nowiki>{{flagathlete|}}</nowiki>. I would like to make this change to the List of snooker players by number of ranking titles ↗ but noticed that the template ↗ specifies using <nowiki>{{flagicon|}}</nowiki><nowiki>{{sortname||}}</nowiki> for the players' names. Is there a specific reason for this? If not, I will go ahead with the change. I've copied the list into my sandbox and changed the flags etc. and it all seems to work OK. Take a look at it in my sandbox. Please post your answer to this message in the WT:SNOOKER/Snooker lists ↗ forum. Thank you.  Alan  (talk) 20:37, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping|AlH42}} I think that’s just a remnant of a time when the table was sortable ↗. Feel free to make the appropriate changes. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus

Edit description

Hi Armbrust, about this diff ↗, it should say "restored by", not "edited by". There was lots of restoration there, far more than just edits. I normally mark it on the file page (under author) whether it's a "restoration" or an "edit". Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 18:18, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Flinders Street Station

I'm not sure how you want to handle this, it's a little unusual of a situation. If I get a vote, it's at 5 supports, but I'm not sure we need rush it to promotion - it's going to be a fairly quick end-of-restoration-to-promotion time whatever we do.

:File:Firing Squad in Iran.jpg ↗

Hi, I wonder why this file didn't get enough support. I expected to pass here easily due to its notable status, and may be to get opposition on Commons due to the average quality. Instead it passed without any opposition on Commons, and didn't get much support here. Any idea? Yann (talk) 19:45, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|Yann}} I have no idea. Although it probably didn't help that when listing the articles in which the image appears you listed 1980 Pulitzer Prize ↗. (The first listed article should be the article where the picture has the most EV.) Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 07:08, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

2043 Picture of the Day

Hello!
I noticed that :File:The Burning of the USS Missouri in Gibraltar.jpg ↗ is set to be the picture of the day on...August 26, 2043? Since there are no other PoTDs for that year, and almost certainly that decade, I wanted to reach out and ask if it was intentional as you were the one who made Template:POTD/2043-08-26 ↗. Was this intentional? Am I an idiot overlooking something?

Please fix Linter ↗ errors in navboxes

This and similar edits ↗ have caused Linter syntax errors in templates, which are then transcluded onto over 2,000 pages.

Links in featured picture gallery

Hello. First of all, thank you for promoting the image of the Joneses, and adding it to the appropriate gallery. I am confused, though - is there a policy in place limiting each image to a single link? I'm unable to find a reference to one, but I may be missing something. If there is such a policy, why? It's not as though we're liable to run out of links. Excluding a link to his page isn't an improvement over excluding a link to hers. The portrait is of two people - why not link to both articles? —Ganesha811 (talk) 02:01, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
:{{ping|Ganesha811}} That's not a policy, but the closing procedure for feature picture candidates ↗. Armbrust The Homunculus 19:19, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
::Thanks for sharing that. I don't see anything there that precludes having two links in the description. The image is of two people, after all. —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:43, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
::: The third paragraph is about the caption, and none of the examples has more than one link. Armbrust The Homunculus 21:13, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
::::That seems like mild wikilawyering to me. The procedure is not prescriptive. Is there any actual reason to avoid having two links in this image caption? This kind of situation is where WP:IAR ↗ comes in handy. Again, there are two people in the picture, and we have decent-quality articles on both. Adding a second link would not make the caption even a fraction longer to a reader. I'm going to re-add the second link, as clearly there is no actual consensus against such a thing. —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:46, 28 October 2025 (UTC)

Trinity (nuclear test) FP

Thanks for your note re this. I looked at the American history page first, but didn't get deep enough to find this classic photo.

Steam locomotive TIFF file

Hello, Armbrust! I hope you've had a pleasant morning.

So you've pointed out in this Featured Image nomination I created ↗ that a TIFF file isn't allowed to be displayed in web galleries, since their infinitely high qualities can't be supported, but do you know how to duplicate this particular file I nominated as a JPG or a PNG file? This has been done before. This file ↗ of a Southern passenger locomotive was duplicated as a JPG ↗. Someone who likes train writing (talk) 16:36, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
:Answered there. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 18:19, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
::So that nomination has been rejected due to underwhelming support, but I'd like to try again with another image of the same steam locomotive (specifically either this one ↗ or this one ↗). Is there a way that I can start over the nom entirely, or at least restart it with the front-view image replaced with one of the more favorable ones?

Featured picture D&R follow ups

Hi Armbrust,

Thanks for this close ↗. I added the ENWP featured indication to the Commons page for the image ↗. Normally, do people who close ENWP nominations also modify the Commons page?

By the way, it would be nice to add an indication to User:Cmglee's talk page which indicates that they enhanced an image which became a featured picture on ENWP. Is there an appropriate template for Cmglee's talk page?

Similarly, should this diff on User talk:Spicypepper999 ↗ be followed up with an indication that the previous featured photo listing has been replaced with the modified version?

:No, we generally don’t modify the Commons file pages. In case of a delist and replace nomination there is no notice given to any talk pages. And generally we don’t update old talk page notices either. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 19:04, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
:*Okay. I will post a thank you on Cmglee's ENWP talk page. ↠Pine (✉) 00:53, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

FP promotions

Thanks for all the work you do at enWiki FPC.
At Commons there is a 5 day rule for speedy promotion. Is that something worth thinking about for Wikipedia?
Best wishes

Tam Nakano

Hi Armbrust, I noticed this FP ↗ is shown under People/Sport, however this FP of Seth Rollins ↗ is shown under People/Entertainment as professional wrestling is not a competitive sport. I was thinking Nakano should be moved to People/Entertainment for consistency. Many thanks. JJARichardson (talk) 17:05, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

FTRC notification removal request

en:Category:Wikipedia good topic removal candidates ↗ still has the three FTRC nominations that were recently closed, as well as a topic I recently nominated. Can you remove the three FTRC notifications from those three pages and modify their nomination history accordingly? JHD0919 (talk) 18:08, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
