All ✅. I took the liberty of helping the user since he seems to be MIA. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:02, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * They might have been MIA but the nominator did edit WP on Feb 8th and also edited elsewhere on WP today, see here. Shearonink (talk) 02:27, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Honestly, since I hadn't heard back at all from the nominator after starting work on this Review back in January I was thinking of having to fail it within the next few days.  If you're looking for something else to do, the referencing problems above (2B criteria) need to be corrected/adjusted.... Thanks again, Shearonink (talk) 18:31, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I missed that. Now it is concluded. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:51, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
