I was looking through the GAN page and noticed this article was still stub-class. Per Wikipedia:Good article criteria#What cannot be a good article?, stubs cannot be GAs. I think it's a jerk move for reviewers to quick fail articles where a lot of work has been put it just because the article's a stub. I recommend that you get the article reclassed, so that it can make the cut. It looks like you've put a lot of good work into that page. Hope the reclassifying process goes well! Hog Farm (talk) 02:23, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up! I'll post a request to re-class shortly. I would hope that the reviewing editor would have enough sense not to quick fail the article because of the class it had before my expansion, but it's always good to eliminate potential stumbling blocks when you get the opportunity.

On 9 February 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bonanza City, New Mexico, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native Americans (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:25, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Containment breach

[edit]

Hello! Since you, afaict, are the WP:SHEPHERD of SCP, I'm commenting here.

I did this edit [1] because IMO, WP pop-cult stuff should have a decent secondary source, existing is not enough (and it was a little WP:PUFFERY). Then I searched for www.scp-wiki.net on WP and got a few hits. I removed a few, but in crappy articles like Per aspera ad astra and True name SCP isn't any worse than much else of the content. I may look into improving Per aspera ad astra at some point.

So, nothing you've done or should do, but perhaps a little interesting. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:03, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have my blessings for this. I'm obviously partial to the SCP Foundation, but "In Popular Culture" lists cited solely to the creative work the article topic appears in are (in my opinion) inappropriate. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:31, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In recognition for not only raising SCP Foundation up to GA status, but also keeping abreast of and promptly responding to developments relating to the subject. - Novov T C 03:48, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot Novov! I created the article back in 2015 when the SCP Foundation was a much smaller writing community that got just enough press coverage to meet notability requirements. Keeping an article on such a rapidly expanding community has been quite the experience, but its work I'm happy to do. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 18:49, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For improving the SCP Foundation related articles, I have seen them in the past, they're still great, but became greater when knowledgeable users, such as you, come in. I really want to give you a barnstar, but I have seen that other users have awarded the occasion. And now with the 6000 contest ending, I would wish that the article be expanded and enhanced. Cheers - Mark 125.167.112.177 (talk) 04:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! I've always been a fan of the SCP Foundation and I've had the opportunity to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the creative writing community. I'm currently pretty swamped with real-life concerns, but I'm hoping to go back in and fine-tune the article as more sources become available and I have more personal time.
