== Archive pages for FAR, PR etc ==

I have never been involved in reviews so I am now confused... Why are all the reviews already archived? I.e. you actually start a review as Name/archiveN rather than end it by archiving! Seems totally screwy to me. Any clarification? --Jubileeclipman 00:36, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I have not the slightest clue
I've wondered that too
I looked it up
With no apparent luck
Anyway... maybe so it doesn't have to be moved into an archive later? Maybe you could ask HereToHelp or another experienced FA reviewer (I'm more experienced with GAs) Airplaneman 01:27, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Like the poem! How's this?
WP:GAR makes far more sense:
The subpages are /N rather than /archiveN.
Think I'll ask on the FAR[away?] talkpage
Even though getting an answer might take an age.
Or ask HereToHelp, just as you suggest
... er... um... ... ...best

Liked you poem as well! I think you have a response on WT:APPLE. Airplaneman 01:48, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
I haven't a clue as to what's going on
But writing these poems appears to be fun!
Thinking of good rhymes can take me an eon
But what's even harder? It's writing a pun! Brambleclawx 02:02, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
This is quickly become
a fun draw for some.
Quite the relief from
bonking the dumb!
Really, I have nothing to contribute to the actual discussion, except that it maybe saves time? That way you don't have to move it from the original page or have the original review deleted and archived, etc. That make sense? (Oh, and yes, I know my rhyme is terrible!)

We could just archive the whole of WikiPedia
That would save time if we get shut down by the media... --Jubileeclipman 02:15, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
LOL... but isn't Wikipedia already cached like pretty much all of the rest of the internet?
And don't forget database dumps, which might not have been considered yet?

Nice! I am still none the wiser, but your page is looking nicer --Jubileeclipman 02:31, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree! (Who wouldn't - heehee) Airplaneman 02:36, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
