Hello, Doug. I'll be reviewing all the Plankinton articles within the current GAN Backlog Drive and will use the checklist above to register progress. Hope to provide some feedback soon. No Great Shaker (talk) 04:33, 1 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

One question

edit

Only a very short article but breadth of coverage is adequate. I made a couple of minor tweaks and I hope those are okay.

Just one query that needs to be answered – who was it that scarpered off to Mexico? I presume it was Lappen, but it isn't entirely clear so we need the name. I won't put this on hold as you can answer the query in an instant and then it will be promoted. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 14:37, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Passed

That's fine, Doug, and this passes the review so I'm promoting to GA. Well done. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:10, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment

edit

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
