500 word limit
I thought that the 500 word limit was for the actual statement rather than replies, I've filed a number of ARCAs and although I'm obviously aware of the 500 word limit I'd never heard anyone say it applies to replies as well. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:21, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale: ah! sorry for the confusion, but yeah, it does indeed apply to replies. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 20:34, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration#Responding to requests also doesn't make it clear that it includes replies, perhaps this needs to be clarified. I think it would normally be unrealistic to expect under 500 words to include replies as someone subject to an ARCA (or other AR) would often (but not always) be expected to reply to comments about then or at least questions to them, obviously I don't feel a need to reply to every single one (as in many cases I'd just be saying the same thing) but I don't think it is the same as Wikipedia:Don't bludgeon the process.

- Thanks, frankie, that's so sweet of you! I'm hopeful too, and really excited to have my drive for content back; it wasn't really there for a lot of 2025. Thanks for your help on the image!! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 13:46, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
Promotion of United States v. Moore (1973)
As the one who reviewed that article for DYK, congrats on getting it to FAC!! Getting an article expanded 5x (or in this case, 20x) is an achievement on its own, but bringing it to FAC?! I thought this would be eligible for a four award seeing as this was brought to GA before FAC, until I realised that you didn't create the article, which was back in 2010 until you expanded it in 2025. Great work leek! JuniperChill (talk) 23:37, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for helping it along, JuniperChill!! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 23:53, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
