HI M4V3R1CK32, mind doing a spoken Wikipedia recording for the Aston Martin DB9 article? We don't have any Spoken WP automotive FAs and it would be nice to have one. Do not feel obligated at all to. 750h+ 11:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@750h+: I can certainly add it to the docket! Not sure when I will get to it. Time to record, in particular, is limited right now. M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 01:53, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Much thanks M4V3R1CK32! take all the time you need 750h+ 01:55, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Ed Bradley at TFA

Hi, this was promoted in May. Is July a good time for a TFA appearance? How about July 5? - Dank (push to talk) 15:58, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

I think that would be as good a time as any! I'll start thinking about a blurb, post something in TFA requests. Cheers M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 16:40, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes please. But I'll be shutting down the July TFARs as I schedule ... if people don't make a request, the usual place for all blurbs is the talk page of the FAC nomination. - Dank (push to talk) 17:50, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Dank: I've created the TFA submission, let me know if you need anything else from me! M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 20:08, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, now at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 5, 2024. - Dank (push to talk) 21:06, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, both, this is so wonderful! Princessa Unicorn (talk) 02:13, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for the article "about American journalist Ed Bradley, a prominent Black journalist in the latter half of the 20th and early 21st Century"! Enjoy your first TFA day! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:07, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
