@Wugapodes: Thanks for your review! Just to be clear, this is my sixth DYK nomination so it's my first needing a QPQ. I've done my part here and am waiting for a second opinion on that nomination, which I assume needs to be completed before the QPQ is considered done. Let me know if I'm mistaken or if there's anything else I need to do. Thanks again! DrOrinScrivello (talk) 15:47, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DrOrinScrivello: Seems the QPQ Check tool lied to me then, I'll take your word for it. The review looks good and I left a note on that nomination as well. Once you come to a decision on that nom, then this one should be good to go. — Wug·a·po·des 18:54, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Wugapodes: The tool did not tell a lie, my fifth nomination is in the pipeline and was submitted earlier than this one, it just hasn't hit the main page yet. I appreciate your advice on the other review, and I've marked it good to go. Thanks again! DrOrinScrivello (talk) 21:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
