Your GA nomination of Martin Farquhar Tupper

The article Martin Farquhar Tupper you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Martin Farquhar Tupper for comments about the article, and Talk:Martin Farquhar Tupper/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

DYK

As it happens I've never done a DYK, so I wouldn't know how to review it! But I gather they operate a fairly robust system in which everyone who nominates one has to review one, so that probably means you will automatically get a reviewer.

DYK for Martin Farquhar Tupper

On 1 August 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Martin Farquhar Tupper, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Martin Farquhar Tupper was a favourite poet of Queen Victoria, but his works are now almost entirely forgotten? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Martin Farquhar Tupper. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Martin Farquhar Tupper), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Thanks!

Just a quick note to thank you for the GA review of Shaparak Khorsandi. Your improvement suggestions really helped make the article better. Much appreciated. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Supreme Court of Mississippi GA review

Thank you for reviewing the article. Your comments were good and well-founded, but I would ask that next time you not quick-fail so quickly. In my experience the type of critiques you made were not the sort that would be impossible to address in a week's time. I would recommend you have a look at some other GA reviews with variety in extensiveness to gauge when to quick-fail. At they very least, you can always ask the nominator if they think the issues to can be rectified in a timely matter and if they don't think so, then you can fail the review. -Indy beetle (talk) 20:30, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. I certainly didn't want to quick-fail the nomination, but I felt that the issues were so extensive that they would take a considerable amount of effort to address, and as I saw you were an experienced GA submitter I assumed that you had already brought the article up to the highest standard you were able to. If you can improve the article sufficiently I'd be happy to reassess it. Garnet-Septagon (talk) 20:56, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
