DYK for 2022 National Arena League season

On 16 August 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2022 National Arena League season, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that during the 2022 National Arena League season, a player hit a referee? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2022 National Arena League season. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2022 National Arena League season), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Your GA nominations and recent promotions of articles to A-class

Sportsfangnome, it's good to see your interest in the GA nomination process. As you're new to it, I wanted to let you know about a couple of important facets that you don't seem to have noticed.

If you wish to nominate an article that you haven't done significant work on, per the GA nomination instructions, Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination. You haven't done this for any of your six nominations (none of which you have made significant contributions to), including the three you made a little while ago, so I've reverted your out-of-process nominations for Quarterback, Tom Brady, and Vince Lombardi. If you wish to pursue any of these three nominations, you'll first need to do the consultation, and once people have had a chance to respond (seven days is standard), if a consensus agrees that a particular article is ready to go (meets or is very close to meeting the GA criteria), then you're welcome to renominate it. Do note that you will expect to be the point person to address any issues that are raised on your nominations during the course of the review.

I also reverted your prior changes of both Vince Lombardi and Quarterback to A-class from B-class in the American Football WikiProject. A-class is actually a higher class than GA, and before articles rise to A, they are supposed to go through a rigorous, formal review process that is described here. I saw no evidence of this on either article's talk page, hence the restoration to B-class.

You have three other GA nominations: Early history of American football, Bugs Bunny, and 2020 NFL season. As these are up to a month old and would lose seniority if reverted, if you wish to continue these nominations, you can start the consultation on them (or those you still wish to pursue) now. Best of luck with them going forward. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:17, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition for Len Dawson

On 26 August 2022, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Len Dawson, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. —Bagumba (talk) 19:29, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Sportsfangnome (talk) 19:45, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ITN recognition

FYI, I saw your edit here giving ITN recognition for Dawson. Typically, that is not done until after an item is posted on ITN. Regards. —Bagumba (talk) 19:43, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I accidentally did that, oops. Sportsfangnome (talk) 19:44, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent Good Article nominations

I noticed your page says you're a newer editor, which is great. Wikipedia always needs fresh users. I also saw that you've had trouble getting your Good Article nominations passed. As another user has pointed out, you haven't done significant, or in some cases any, work to any of your nominations, which, while not required, is highly encouraged. Especially for longer articles like the ones you've nominated, more senior users may assume you are a rookie who will not stick through the review and refuse to review them. I've also noticed that many of your edits have been reverted. If you need any help with policies or rules, feel free to contact me or any other more experienced editor.
