Rejection of article and resubmission
Hi, Previously you have rejected my draft on Akshita Mudgal. That was my first submission and I was not sure on all the changes I could make. I added some citations and references and resubmitted it. I am not sure if I resubmit an article it will go back to your bucket. Could you please review my article and help me if any improvements are needed in it WikiEditor0809 (talk) 09:45, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Tyler Brown
Hickory, I am concerned about offensive material appearing in the edit summaries in the history of Tyler Brown. Please see here, here, and here. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 12:20, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Greetings Hickory! I hope you're doing well. Long time no see! I have not said much since I was working on W. A. Hewitt. Hope to see you more in the future. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 12:23, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey, no problem taking so long to review it; I was feeling guilty for not checking in on it until today, so your timing was perfect! Changes addressed; hope it looks good now! Let me know if anything more is needed! Sanfranciscogiants17 (talk) 00:08, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

In which my luck catches up with me
My sudden drop off the face of the earth: after years of good luck, I was involved in my first real motorcycle accident. In the grand scheme of things, I am fine. Helmets are a very good invention. The bike is just a bike and will be repaired in the next few weeks. In the immediate future, however, I should let you know that my on-Wiki time will be limited; among other things, my left arm is in a sling from awkwardly breaking my fall, and I am supposed to limit my screen time in case I'm concussed. I don't think I am, but not something I'd want to play with. I'd say the timing is inconvenient considering the Cup playoffs are about to start, but, well, it's not like my team is involved... The only win I'm taking is that Auston Matthews got to see Joel Embiid thrash the Raptors last night. —  Ghost River  16:21, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * , oh no! This is why I chose rollerblading over biking . Well, we will definitely miss you as the playoffs begin, still super impressed with your Connor McDavid improvements. Next is Malkin? Get well soon!HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:42, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * There's no parking in South Philly, so I thought the vroom vroom bike would be a good way to avoid that mess. I'm impressed I made it 4 1/2 years without an accident. And I might have to buck up a little before I let myself work on a Pen. Realistically next is Tyler Seguin, my favorite emotional support himbo (well, maybe second to Cody Bellinger. —  Ghost River  18:49, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * , That's fair, lol forgot about his team. Don't forget, only steers and queers in Texas. I think I'm bouncing between Oscar Klefbom, Chris Driedger, and Roope Hintz. It sucks that I now have the motivation to write when I am likely eliminated from the WP:CUP. Convinced someone in the Kraken discord to upload their pics to Flickr so I have some great pics to work with. Same with LA Kings. The Dallas Discord seems pretty dead tbh.
