Template-protected edit request on 26 June 2022

I propose that my work at Special:Diff/1095069966 for the template be implemented. It is more consise by avoiding "one of the" (while also taking care of the a/an problem), and also de-italicizes "good article". Thanks. NotReallySoroka (talk) 05:19, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This request is placed on-hold. NotReallySoroka (talk) 05:25, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Graceful way to add an additional GA review

Hi folks, I have undertaken a re-evaluation of Hans Bethe as a Good Article (mainly because I think it's still a good article but it has been a while since it achieved that status, not because of any problems I've found with the article). In doing so, I ran into a question about how to use this template.

On Talk:Hans Bethe there is already a {{GA}} template, from the first time the article went through a thorough Good Article review from some folks.

I have added a second {{GA}} template, so that now the talk page starts like this:

{{GA|09:13, 28 July 2013 (UTC)|topic=Physics and astronomy|page=1|oldid=566127423}}
{{GA|date=20:54, 28 June 2022 (UTC)|topic=Physics and astronomy|page=2|oldid=1094482619}}

Is there a way to specify multiple dates for multiple reviews of an article for GA status, using the {{GA}} template once, or is the approach I'm using above of stacking {{GA}} templates up the normal way of doing things?

@Charlesreid1, {{Article history}} is your friend. CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} (please mention me on reply) 01:01, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page moved since GA review

If an article has moved since its GA review (e.g. for disambiguation), the /GAn subpage is not correct. Is there a way to force this GA template to link to the correct review subpage, or must {{Article history}} be used? I think it would be helpful to include the answer to this on this template's documentation. Adabow (talk) 22:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
