NYT paywall
I don't know how to get around the current NY Times paywall, although for current articles (since 1981), you can see the maximum amount for each browser that you have installed. I have five browsers installed to see five times the maximum.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:51, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:St._Jimmy
I just did a non-admin close of the RfC at St. Jimmy. I thought I should also drop you a note that your behavior there wasn't ideal (others were also problematic and goading, but you crossed the line IMO). You are a significantly more experienced editor than I, so I'm not sure what exactly I should say other than suggesting you consider toning down the language a bit. Good luck and best wishes in any event. Hobit (talk) 19:15, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
- I fully understand having been there far too often (WP:ANI has been fun today for example). You seem like a generally calm type, just felt useful to say "hey, watch that" in the hopes it would help some. Good luck! Hobit(talk) 02:03, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within 5 days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Jack Ely for things which need to be addressed. Kürbis(✔) 12:23, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

What about this version of 'Hold Your Head Up' that served as a DAB. Probably they were all performances of the same song. But should we preserve this information anywhere? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:22, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
