- Thank you very much, Cbl62 - this means a lot coming from you! And wow, I'm surprised my creations have received that many views - when I joined back in November 2020 (initially only to write two things), I would never have guessed I would go on to create things read by millions!

Thorn (athletics coach) submission[edit]Hey, I saw your comment on Draft:William J. Thorn (athletics coach). I wasn't actually notified by the user that it was rejected, but thanks for asking for clarification on the reasoning for rejection - the same user rejected another draft of mine Draft:Craig Angelos (the athletic director of Hawaii), and I was not able to get any more detail on that one either. I'm not going to ask you to review them - that can be a lengthy process - but could you maybe make a similar request there?

AFDs[edit]Hello, BeanieFan11, Lately, it seems like I've seen you make valuable comments in AFD discussions but you don't cast a "vote". Is there a reason why? I hope it has nothing to do with keeping a high AFD agreement percentage but that doesn't seem like something you'd care about. As a frequent AFD closer, I'd appreciate it if you would take a stand on what you think should happen with articles because I know you do your homework and make a thoughtful decision. Thank you.

Revisiting the improvement of sports stubs[edit]Hello! Doing new page patrol for the massive amount of sports biographies has reminded me about the effort to get some of them fleshed out with existent but hard-to-find significant coverage. It's not really my area of expertise, but you've been doing good work toward making that happen. Are we still considering a broader effort to get these cleaned up through an event or drive, or something similar? I'd really like for Category:Sports biographies lacking sources containing significant coverage to be cleared, and obviously it would be better to do that through high quality articles over deletion if it's feasible.
