- Not a review (and as much as I'm thankful for you reviewing three of my GAs, I still review oldest first!), but it took me a while to parse ALT0, as I wrongly assumed it was missing the word "who". I would suggest either "once described as" instead of "claimed to be" or taking out "a man claimed to be". (Also, you mentioned that The Cock Destroyers was a red link at Talk:Megan Barton-Hanson/GA1, and you may be interested to know it now has an article.)--Launchballer 17:18, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
GA status and DYK nom date confirmed. No problems detected with the article. I'd prefer ALT0 too because frankly I don't understand the "artful dodger" (dodger or what?). Maybe b/c I am not a native speaker, but I consider myself rather fluent... this seems like reasonably niche slang. Let's go with the heli crash. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:03, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
