'''N.B.''' This article was nominated for GA on March 5 and reviewed by [[User:Bill william compton]] starting on March 6.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABill_william_compton&action=historysubmit&diff=417396981&oldid=417386335] The nominator then asked for a replacement reviewer and the call went out for a second opinion. I volunteered and started providing substantive comments around March 13. Meanwhile another editor, [[User:KnowIG]], who had made substantial edits, started a detailed critique. When [[User:Bill william compton]] clarified that he had handed off the review to me, KnowIG made uncivil remarks for which he was indefinitely blocked. I got to the point where I had discovered some close paraphrasing and discussed a plan to check the entire article further. At that point, the nominator withdrew the nomination, and no other editor wished to pursue the GA review. Hence, [[Talk:Netball/GA1]] failed. Yesterday, the nominator renominated the article and it was quickly reviewed by an editor who had already made many substantial edits to it. Twelve hours after the nomination, [[User:Hawkeye7]] passed it as meeting all GA criteria without any comments. [[Talk:Netball/GA2]] I am providing this general background in case the recent history arises in the discussions which may follow.

I am nominating this for featured article because it is a comprehensive overview of an important international women's sport. LauraHale (talk) 21:03, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
N.B. This article was nominated for GA on March 5 and reviewed by User:Bill william compton starting on March 6.[1] The nominator then asked for a replacement reviewer and the call went out for a second opinion. I volunteered and started providing substantive comments around March 13. Meanwhile another editor, User:KnowIG, who had made substantial edits, started a detailed critique. When User:Bill william compton clarified that he had handed off the review to me, KnowIG made uncivil remarks for which he was indefinitely blocked. I got to the point where I had discovered some close paraphrasing and discussed a plan to check the entire article further. At that point, the nominator withdrew the nomination, and no other editor wished to pursue the GA review. Hence, Talk:Netball/GA1 failed. Yesterday, the nominator renominated the article and it was quickly reviewed by an editor who had already made many substantial edits to it. Twelve hours after the nomination, User:Hawkeye7 passed it as meeting all GA criteria without any comments. Talk:Netball/GA2 I am providing this general background in case the recent history arises in the discussions which may follow. Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 01:56, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
