Your GA nomination of Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2
editHi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 2 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

All I can say for the moment is WOW!!! Have been scanning, but looks impressive! Ceoil (talk) 07:00, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- I attest. Great job. – zmbro (talk) 16:05, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ceoil and zmbro, thank you so much. Especially you, zmbro–I've looked up to your expansions of the Bowie album's (who is one of my favorite artists). Again, thank you both. DecrepitlyOnward (talk) 17:55, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- (Just for the future's sake, zmbro, the duplicate citations were an artifact of using VisualEditor, and I'm not quite sure why as I'm not too familiar with how the template's and VisualEditor work but instead of duplicating the same citation it just showed up as using the same citation multiple times. I'll try to check everything in source from now on–it's not like I'm not familiar with source, it's just that I prefer the WYSIWYG feel of VE.) DecrepitlyOnward (talk) 18:00, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- All good I was the same way initially. I still use VE for some things but I find source editor much easier for the grand scheme of things. – zmbro (talk) 19:02, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Editing the GAN page...
editIs generally futile, because Legobot will overwrite any changes you make. Luckily, you fixed the problem on the article talk page and Legobot picked that up. (t · c) buidhe 08:45, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah...to be fair, it was severely late in the night in my time, and I do faintly remember reading that Legobot overwrites any changes you make...my apologies. DecrepitlyOnward (talk) 17:58, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

WP:RX
editHi, I saw your request at RX for that massively-titled article :) but you removed it before I was able to respond. Do you still want it? SN54129 16:39, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- I reverted it because I found the sources elsewhere, so I realized that it was useless--thank you for reaching out though. DecrepitlyOnward (he/they, fine with any, use as you wish) (talk) 16:49, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Epidural blood patch
editOn 6 February 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Epidural blood patch, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that observations of a car tire being repaired helped develop the epidural blood patch? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Epidural blood patch. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Epidural blood patch), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

A barnstar for you!

Hey nice job on developing the Public Strain article - I was pleasantly surprised to see it change suddenly into a much more informative article that a great album like Public Strain deserves. One might say that the article is no longer an eyesore. I EDIT NAKED (talk) 20:39, 18 March 2022 (UTC) |
