Responding to your question at my talk page
Sometimes what happens is that volunteers see a sequence of responses, and not looking too closely, move on to the next request. My suggestion is to approach a couple of regulars directly --never mind-- I'll do it.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 20:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
:Hey, thanks for the response. I'm absolutely new to this, so I'd appreciate any tips about approaching "regulars" - even the etiquette around who's talk page to leave comments/feedback on is welcomed :)--Davescanlon (talk) 21:13, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
::As is often the case at volunteer organization, those who work the hardest are often asked to do more. I approached Chzz, John and UKexpat; we'll soon see if one or more weigh in if that doesn't work, I'll pick on someone else.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 21:39, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
