Catherine

Hi. You wrote at the FAC that you look forward to my further response. I don't think you want my response there, as I continue to have concerns about the article's prose, the vagueness in the Lead (have none of her public appearances been important enough to mention there?) and agree also have concerns about the sources (while The Telegraph and some of the other newspapers are generally considered reliable sources, not so much with respect to controversial aspects of the Royal Family). IMO, also, unless at least one or two very good book sources exists about a topic, it probably should wait to go to FA). Also, as you did not accept or respond to the substance of either of my examples of the prose issues (which I feel is, throughout the article, not appropriate for an FA article -- passive voice, vagueness, overly idiomatic British phrasing, etc.), I cannot devote the time to do a full review of the prose. I have no desire to stand in your way, and I hope my comments have been helpful. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing Catherine, Princess of Wales, to GA and now moving towards higher quality. Thank you also for inviting me! Your last question there: I have a section quality on my user page, and my noms are - with those of other project members - also on WT:QAI. You'll find right now an opera singer and a Bach cantata. Please don't feel obliged to review in return, only if you are interested ;) - The singer is a very peculiar case: a DYK reviewer didn't like the sources, so added plenty of others. I asked him first to nominate, but when nothing happened felt free to go ahead. GA quality is rather independent of who nominates, right? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:53, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

Today is "the day" for James Joyce, also for Bach's fourth chorale cantata (and why does it come before the third?) - the new pics have a mammal I had to look up --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:13, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

New pics of food and flowers come with the story of Noye's Fludde (premiered on 18 June), written by Brian Boulton. I nominated Éric Tappy because he died, and it needs support today! I nominated another women for GA in the Women in Green June run, - review welcome, and more noms planned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Mark Zuckerberg

The article Mark Zuckerberg you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Mark Zuckerberg for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of 48JCL -- 48JCL (talk) 01:42, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

FYI, this review has been removed as having been an incorrect quickfail. The article is back in the GAN queue. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:31, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Catherine, Princess of Wales reversions

Any reason for your reversions? Clarityfiend (talk) 09:48, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Clarityfiend The Telegraph sources are paywalled. You fail to realise that a registered account allows access to only a limited number of articles. As for the other changes that might have been reverted in the process, I will make it a point to reinstate them later before the article is sent for PR. I hope there are no bad feelings. Have a great day ahead. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 10:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Are you sure? I was blocked from two Telegraph articles, but not the rest. Plus I checked every Telegraph reference; that seems like more than a limited number. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes. At times, it's at fault and allows you to access it for free. But most articles can be accessed by only subscribed users. User @Keivan.f: and @Tim O'Doherty: can confirm the same. The former is current collaborating with me for the article's FAC; the latter reviewed it successfully for GA. The rest of your edits have been restored. Regards.

Okey dokey. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
