I hope you're keeping well. The article St Scholastica Day riot is back at FAC. It ought to pass this time, given the constructive changes it's undergone since the last FAC. I trust you'll agree. Best regards. MSincccc (talk) 18:27, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

:Thank you for your post. I only very vaguely remember reading about this riot, and have no memory of the FAC. This is often the case with me. I take your word for the improvement and wish the author(s) well. Best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 19:23, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

::You can join the FAC discussion here, if it's convenient for you to do so. When it was last nominated, you had raised concerns about the article’s sourcing. Best regards. MSincccc (talk) 00:51, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Thanks very much for the offer, but I'm dealing with an unexpected personal loss. FACs are far away right now in the scheme of things. Best regards, Fowler&fowler«Talk» 02:03, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
