GA Nom of Bonanza City, New Mexico
I was looking through the GAN page and noticed this article was still stub-class. Per Wikipedia:Good article criteria#What cannot be a good article?, stubs cannot be GAs. I think it's a jerk move for reviewers to quick fail articles where a lot of work has been put it just because the article's a stub. I recommend that you get the article reclassed, so that it can make the cut. It looks like you've put a lot of good work into that page. Hope the reclassifying process goes well!

- Thanks for the heads up! I'll post a request to re-class shortly. I would hope that the reviewing editor would have enough sense not to quick fail the article because of the class it had before my expansion, but it's always good to eliminate potential stumbling blocks when you get the opportunity.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native Americans (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Containment breach
Hello! Since you, afaict, are the WP:SHEPHERD of SCP, I'm commenting here.
I did this edit [1] because IMO, WP pop-cult stuff should have a decent secondary source, existing is not enough (and it was a little WP:PUFFERY). Then I searched for www.scp-wiki.net on WP and got a few hits. I removed a few, but in crappy articles like Per aspera ad astra and True name SCP isn't any worse than much else of the content. I may look into improving Per aspera ad astra at some point.
So, nothing you've done or should do, but perhaps a little interesting. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:03, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- You have my blessings for this. I'm obviously partial to the SCP Foundation, but "In Popular Culture" lists cited solely to the creative work the article topic appears in are (in my opinion) inappropriate. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:31, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
