Where's Atlantic Coast Conference football championship games? I promoted it to Featured topic on May 4th here. GamerPro64 01:28, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the box at the FT log and saw May "0 FT"; I was dog-tired after preparing this huge page (21 FAs?). The lost FT would no doubt have been picked up next week (which will be the case). Thanks. Tony (talk) 13:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So this is where the spike in article views for pigeon photography came from! If someone had notified me of this story in advance, I could have corrected it: The article was started here, on the English Wikipedia, by Jennavecia and Malleus Fatuorum in June 2009 as Bavarian Pigeon Corps. In the same month it went to DYK and was nominated for deletion among persistent hoax concerns. This is where I got involved and rewrote it completely. Once I was reasonably happy with it, I translated it to German and took it through German GA. In that state it was featured on the German mainpage in February 2010. But the main development happened here. Hans Adler 15:32, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, pity, we certainly would have included that information as "good copy". Thanks. Tony (talk) 18:00, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
