This is perhaps a bit drastic step, but one I've been thinking about for several years now. When this was promoted in 2007, this was 22kb long. In early 2022, I rewrote this article after noting sourcing issues. The article is now 47kb long, and uses a number of sources not used in the original. According to xTools, I'm now the author of 81.6% of this article. The relationship between this and the promoted version is essentially a Ship of Theseus question. At the time, I was counseled to not take this through FAR and to seek reviews through WP:URFA/2020, but I've had trouble getting those. It's been over two years now, real life is forcing me to become less and less active with on wiki, and I really just want to have closure on this before either a) I lose the residual familiarity with parts of the sourcing material that remains or b) my career finally gets so hectic that I'm not active enough to push this over the finish line anymore.

As a note - after this was rewritten, there were some concerns about prose quality brought up (which seems to be a hallmark of most of my writing). The main Neal & Kremm source is on the Internet Archive, and I own all of the other book sources except for Woods (which I have been looking for an excuse to buy off of eBay anyway if it becomes needed), so I should have the source access needed to resolve any concerns. It'll just be a matter of squeezing in any work on this around my job and household responsibilities. Hog Farm Talk 01:15, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
