Hi. I hope you are fine. I have removed a lot of unreferenced information. The new page review is one of the last approval stages, so when I see a page like this with a large amount of unreferenced information, and no  tag to show that the page is undergoing a major build, I tend to err on the side of caution and remove the unreferenced information. The easiest solution is for you to add the tag to indicate the page is still under construction (if it is). This prevents me and other editors from editing the page until the process is complete and the tag is removed. Please assume good faith of me, as I do of you. By all means add the information again when you can add the references. Best wishes, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 16:40, 13 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, I definitely assume good faith. I know you all have a lot of work to do keeping people honest. But can I easily see what you removed so I can add references? Fortunaa (talk) 16:45, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I found it. Looking now. Fortunaa (talk) 16:47, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Thank you! I love this... Fortunaa (talk) 01:17, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Since you gave me cake so generously, I wonder if you would have a moment to look at my new article for Arleen McCarty Hynes. As soon as I put it up, someone nominated it for deletion. I'm puzzled! She was listed on Women in Red, so I chose her and wrote the article. Fortunaa (talk) 02:04, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Never mind, group consensus fell in the article's favor, and they speedily removed the deletion request. I'm grateful to good people in the process: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arleen McCarty Hynes - Wikipedia Fortunaa (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

August 2023 Good Article Nominations Backlog Drive reminder
The August 2023 Good Article Nominations Backlog Drive is at the halfway mark, and has seen incredible progress, dropping the backlog from 638 to 359 unreviewed articles -- a 43.7% reduction in only fifteen days! But we still have over two weeks to go, and there are plenty of articles left to review:


 * We've gone from 14 nominations 270+ days old and 65 nominations 180+ days old to 2 and 0 respectively. No more articles will reach 270+ status during the drive, and only three more will reach 180+ if unreviewed, so this is your last chance to get the higher age bonuses!
 * We still have plenty of articles in the 90+ range, but the list is shrinking fast.
 * Some articles need new reviewers, either because they're officially on second opinion or because the original reviews were deleted or invalidated. You can help prevent these articles from waiting longer!
 * While there are starting to be clear favourites for the Content Review Medal of Merit, the field is still very open. A late entrant can still pull an upset to get the most reviews in the drive!

And remember: if you've done reviews, you should log them at the backlog drive page for points, so they can be tracked towards your awards at the end.

Thanks for signing up for the drive, and I hope to see you reviewing! Vaticidalprophet 02:01, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Regina Purtell
The article Regina Purtell you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Regina Purtell for comments about the article, and Talk:Regina Purtell/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

 * @Mertbiol, as suggested, I nominated it for DYK. Someone had to edit it (blush) because I mis-read an instruction, but they gallantly did and now it is in the queue. This is a thrilling process. Fortunaa (talk) 20:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Mary Clemente Davlin page
I was so pleased when a classmate of mine pointed me at the page you created for Sr. Clemente. I was a student of hers (1975-79) and stayed in touch with her until her death. I was glad, too, to fix a typo, as one tiny bit of tribute to her. I volunteer with the WikiProject Women in Religion and was glad that the page was already tagged of interest to the group. Given the interests you describe on your page, you would be welcome to check us out at any of our monthly meetings. The project page provides sign-up info. Part of our group will be conducting a pre-conference workshop at the AAR meeting later this month and others will present at Wikipedia North America in Toronto. If any of this is of interest, please join us. And thanks for creating that page! Engmaj (talk) 17:14, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * What a lovely note! I'm delighted that you found her page. Feel free to update it as you wish. And I'd be delighted to join.

Review descrepencies
I am sorry, colleagues indicated descrepancies of my review, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#Maxim%20Masiutin%20again

Therefore, I had to delete the unsourced dates and the paragraph I added from the article I reviewed.

Should you need to add those dates, back, please make sure they are backed up by reliable sources. They were not backed up and I should have indicated that to you rather than trying to fix myself.

Should you consider it necessary, you can comment on the link I sent you.

I am sorry that it turned out to be that way. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 04:53, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

User:Fortunaa - During the discrepancies in the review process that I committed I had to retract the GA status, the article returns the backlog of pending reviews and will be picked by another reviewer https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3AGood_article_nominations&diff=1186450459&oldid=1186444458

I am sorry about that. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 07:10, 23 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh dear, I'm fine, but I'm sorry for you. I hope you feel okay about it. You were very kind, and it is fine with me to get back in line and wait for the next reviewer. I appreciate the time you took to do it, and I hope that you continue to do great work for Wikipedia. Fortunaa (talk) 12:06, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I am a newbie in the reviewing process, but I aim to improve. There were a couple of unreferenced dates in the articles and I thought I could find source to back them up but that source turned out to be unreliable, and I delete those dates. Let me restore those dates and put "citation needed" template. If you find references, than great. If not, consider deleting this information. Also, there were passages about serving in remote areas and blood donation that I inadequately presented, please also consider presenting that adequately, because, I think, it is a major detail in the biography.

Your GA nomination of Eileen Niedfield
The article Eileen Niedfield you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Eileen Niedfield for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of AirshipJungleman29 -- AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:03, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Fortunaa, don't be discouraged, the article is good in general and the observations by the reviewer are not numerous and are easy to fix, still, they are important, so you should be able to resolve them at ease. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 15:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
 * It is so kind of you to say this, and thank you. I'm doing okay... I could tell when the GA status was overturned that things were going in a--um--shall we say predictable direction. So I'm bummed but okay with it. However the team might want to consider using a word other than "failed" for what happens when it doesn't quite make the cut. After all, they have to be pretty nice articles to even get considered, yes? Maybe they could say "Didn't pass" (many courses in college are now taken pass/not pass rather than pass/fail for this very reason). But yes, when I finish writing an article I'm doing now on the centennial of the War Resisters League for the mainstream media, I'll come back to this one. It is encouraging people like you who make it worth it. Fortunaa (talk) 02:12, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Some reviewers give time to fix the problems that they noticed, and some do not give. Usually, they give time to fix problems which could be fixed quickly, but not this time :-(
 * When you submit articles to GA, you are encouraged to review two other articles so that the queue move faster. I didn't plan to review, but when articles I nominated stayed for months, I decided to review some articles to clear the queue as recommended. I was new to this process and the experienced editors after after a while checked my reviews, although it is not a usual way of doing things. They upheld my reviews Melvin Ramsay (which I "passed") and Ruth Ann Davis (which I "passed") but invalidated my reviews for Eileen Niedfield (from "passed" to "returned to backlog") and XXXYY syndrome (from "failed" to "passed"). Maxim Masiutin (talk) 03:12, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, I hope you are not discouraged, either! You were the first reviewer, yes? I really appreciated your confidence in this. She was amazing to write about. Fortunaa (talk) 02:15, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was interesting for me what happened with the article after the second review, and I was said when it did not pass. Please consider doing a couple of reviews, but they take time. Also, don't start yourself like I did, because it is hard to do everything correctly without experience, find a mentor among people with many reviews who can give you suggestions before you make final verdict, therefore your reviews will not be invalidated.
 * With Eileen Niedfield, please consider fixing the issues indicated by the reviewer and nominate again. It will get GA sooner or later. While doing other things, you would not notice how time will pass.
 * Have a nice day! Maxim Masiutin (talk) 03:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I mostly write articles on endogenous steroids (steroid hormones of which are naturally produced by human body, mostly by the adrenal gland) and the enzymes that our body uses to make these hormones. When I submitted a few of such articles to the "Biology and Medicine" category, I then decided to review a few articles of that category, and there were mostly biographies of people famous in medicine, and I didn't have experience in writing biographies in Wikipedia, so I was uncomfortable reviewing biographies. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 03:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Would you please consider improving the article for Eileen Niedfield according to the comments left by the reviewer AirshipJungleman29 and re-nominating it? Just don't re-nominate without improving, or the new reviewer may reject it for the same reason as stated by the previous reviewer. Don't give up; I also had my nominations rejected, and even reviews rejected, but I try to improve and try to nominate articles again and reviews again. You will make a pleasure for me if the article Eileen Niedfield get the GA status, because I spent time on this article and I don't like the time to be spent without specified result. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 10:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Maxim Masiutin You're right, and I'll focus on that in the next few days, I promise. Fortunaa (talk) 11:36, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I did a few successful reviews after your one, but I cannot review your article to avoid bias, anyway, I keep my fingers crossed :-) Maxim Masiutin (talk) 12:18, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * You inspired me to get to it, so I sat down this morning and made some changes. I am re-nominating it now. Thank you for the nudge! You are inspiring to work with. Fortunaa (talk) 12:39, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you! A few minutes ago I changed some references for uniformity. I also declared date format to "MDY", please follow this format in the article in the future, or, if you wish to use other format, define a new one in the "Use MDY format" template at the beginning of the article. Maxim Masiutin (talk) 14:49, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Maxim Masiutin That's great. Fortunaa (talk) 14:53, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm also going to follow your advice to review articles for GA by participating in the backlog drive. I have a note in to one of the coordinators to learn more about how. Fortunaa (talk) 02:14, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I honoured your advice to use "does not pass" rather than "fail" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Robert_Hanham_Collyer/GA1 -- so I thinked about your nomination. I see it is pending review since 6 March 2024. Let us wait. Sooner or later it will be picked by a reviewer and will pass. Wish you well! Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Maxim Masiutin Thank you for checking in! I am hopeful. Fortunaa (talk) 22:11, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that I had to mark one GA nominee article as "did not pass". I reviewed 4 articles recently. Three of them I marked as "passed" and one "did not pass". I hope that your one will pass for sure. However, I may not be always able to track the progress. Would you mind letting me know once you get the result, so I would be grateful!? Maxim Masiutin (talk) 22:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Maxim Masiutin Yes, I will be happy to. Fortunaa (talk) 22:20, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
