Where are the GAs? Nergaal (talk) 20:49, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The editor who ran the script to generate the list is taking a break (I think that's the answer). Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 21:20, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Nergaal and Xanthomelanoussprog: Not quite: As stated at the time, the bot that handles GAs stopped logging promotions. It hasn't updated since April 15, when it thought all GAs had been removed from the list. . I brought this up (1, 2) and... no-one seems to care very much. Frankly, if the GA team isn't interested in documenting GAs - and it's been a month and there's not been any sort of real response - it's probably not the job of the Signpost to do it by hand, with massively more work.

I don't know which of the three compilers wrote the description of the C120 tape but it definitely falls into the true and very funny category - especially the Kate Bush bit. Nthep (talk) 14:11, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
