Thank you. I am not editing Wikipedia at present, but may possibly return at some point. Tim riley talk 09:20, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Tim. Seems to me that you have encountered the site's lack of WP:COMMONSENSE. Take a break from it, and come back when you feel good and ready. All the best, Jack (talk) 23:12, 4 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

That's most kind. Thank you. Tim riley talk 09:21, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Though I am not editing Wikipedia at present I do not rule out doing so in the future. Tim riley talk 09:22, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

I am very very relieved to hear that. Please continue to not rule it out, Tim. Cheers DBaK (talk) 11:23, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

That is wonderful to hear. We really do miss your valuable contributions. Dudley Miles (talk) 12:23, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Tremendous news. We shall be shepherding your GAN nomination of Hahn with the utmost care and consideration in the meantime. Perhaps, in the future, a triumphant FAC is in order. Aza24 (talk) 16:11, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Echoing this and thanking you for your kindness to me in the past. MONTENSEM (talk) 23:06, 12 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Tim riley,

There is an ongoing Request for Comment (RfC) at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/August 2026 RfC, which you may be interested in because in the past year, you have nominated or reviewed more than one good article nomination. This message has also been sent to all subscribers to the Good Article Gazette. The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

You may recall our discussions about Shepherd's pie in February. As it happens, I'll be in London (Shoreditch) from Sept 1-7. Would you like to get together for a coffee, a lunch, a drink, ... or a shepherd's pie? Friday (Sept 4) would be ideal (my partner is occupied), but I'm pretty open the rest of the week as well. --Macrakis (talk) 20:03, 20 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Tim, Good to see you checking in here. Hope to see you around again, Your voice and contributions are missed. Best wishes.4meter4 (talk) 16:20, 21 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

4meter4, thank you - how nice! I think I'll ease myself in by reviewing at GAN, Peer Review and FAC. Not sure I feel up to active editing of articles yet, but I'll see how it goes. Tim riley talk 17:23, 21 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

I suggest article creation as way to move back in. It's often less contentious than moving into an established article, and you can happily create in your user space or draft space until you are ready. If you need some inspiration Wikipedia:Music encyclopedia topics has thousands of red links; many topics of which are covered with entries in Grove. Even some of the blue links there can be interesting to sort out. For example in thinking about what to do with Andromeda, I recently created List of operas based on the Andromeda myth before removing that from the list.

Mr. Riley, I was going through some old drafts and came across one for the film Invitation to the Wedding. Perhaps you have seen it? According to the AI overview of my websearch, it is the final on-screen collaboration of Ralph Richardson and John Gielgud. Thought you might be interested as I am swamped with drafts. Best, Thriley (talk) 21:06, 11 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thriley, Thank you. I've just looked up John Miller's biography of Richardson, where he says (p. 232) "He and Gielgud had fun together again in ''Invitation to the Wedding'', he as a bishop on a motor-cycle, and Sir John in a stetson, with an American accent, but the film did not make much of a splash". I haven't seen the film, and am not sure it warrants a mention, but if you think it does, pray add it. Tim riley talk 14:39, 12 September 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Tim riley, you supported my nomination of History of education in Wales (1701–1870) to FAC last year. I would very much appreciate if you could comment on my nomination of History of education in Wales (1870–1939). Thanks, Llewee (talk) 14:01, 21 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
