GA nominations

Hello. Just an FYI, per WP:GANI, you're only supposed to be nominating articles for GA status of you're a significant contributor to the article. This probably wouldn't qualify - you didn't write hardly any of the article.

Hey Luna, I'm done with the review. You can work on the article. Have fun dxneo (talk) 00:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello again Luna, after taking some time trying to address the GA issues, I figured reviewers are supposed to clean few minor problems but in this it's something else since the article packs WP:OR and many more. So I was thinking, since I happen to love the song so much and as the reviewer I'm not allowed to improve the article, how about I fail it ('cause honestly I was about to because you actually tricked me into thinking you addressed the issues) then together we will improve it and bring it to GA standard in a couple of days. Is that okay with you? Keep in mind that I was going to fail it regardless, it doesn't cover all the important aspects also. dxneo (talk) 06:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Sure. — lunaeclipse ^(talk) 14:39, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Request for source review

Hello. Sorry for the random message. I was wondering if you could do a source review for my current FAC on Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King? I completely understand if you do not have the time or interest. I was reaching out to you as I have seen that you have done several source reviews lately. I am messaging you as I know that you have experience doing source reviews for video game articles like for the FAC on Mario Party DS. Again, feel free to say no or to just ignore this. My FAC is still new, but I thought it would be helpful to get a source review sooner in the process just so that I can address any issues there as early as possible. Apologies again for this very random post, and I hope you are having a good start to your weekend. Aoba47 (talk) 21:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
