Your GA nomination of 2019 Scottish Open (snooker)
The article 2019 Scottish Open (snooker) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:2019 Scottish Open (snooker) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, 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 in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Revert of Nine-ball; mgender discussion
Hello, earlier today you reverted my edit to Nine-ball which added the category Mixed-sex sports. You also added a detailed and thoughtful summary.

I thought the category warranted given the mgender field in the Infobox which displays as: "Mixed gender Yes."

That makes this discussion all the more compelling: Template_talk:Infobox_sport.

Hoping to see your input, --CmdrDan (talk) 03:43, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

GA review
Hey Lee! Just wanted to say thanks for the GA review and your quick response to my rather delayed one :) I don't feel qualified to comment on the FA/GAs you have but I did drop a support at the FT nomination. Cheers! &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 15:02, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Not an issue. Article was in good shape. Let me know if you have anything else at GAN. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:07, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Favour?
Hi Lee, I'm here to crave an indulgence. Cullen House is at FAC, it's had an image review, three explicit supports and a generally positive comment, but nobody has done a source review. As an experienced FA writer/reviewer, I wonder whether you'd have time/inclination to do that? Thanks in advance if you do, completely understand if you're swamped or uninterested. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  08:31, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I can take a look. Can't say I'm a source review expert, I usually do prose. I'll see if I can get time Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:46, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Did I DYK correctly?
Hi, I'm trying to nominate a GA article for DYK. I got a message from a bot that I hadn't linked it correctly, and I think I have now, but could you check it for me? This is the first time I've tried to use the DYK page, so I may have done it wrong... Don't want to miss the deadline. Thanks, Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 02:55, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Article is John Solomon Cartwright - I guess it would help if I mention that. I am soooo not techno-proficient. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:31, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * for August 14 Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:33, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Seems fine, but I've moved it to the 18th as that is when you nominated. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 06:31, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much! I set it under August 14, because that was the date for GA status, and I thought that was the date I should use.  I am a completely newbie to the DYK process.  Appreciate your help. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

British Open 2021
Marvellous new layout out for the draw in each round and to get the length of the matches in ie the best of 5 frames etc. Top class. Well done to CycloneCAP 92.251.161.230 (talk) 22:31, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Qualifying round format
Hi. Its my understanding that if a tournament has a qualifying round prior to the main draw, the qualifying is always shown in a separate section below the main draw. With that in mind, i don’t understand why 2021 Northern Ireland Open was changed to a non-standard format. Qualifying round being displayed in the main draw doesn’t make sense, because its not consistent with any other article that has a pre-main draw qualifying round eg the 2019 International Championship or the 2019 China Championship. I’d like to posit that if this is the new format we are to use on the wiki as a whole, that all previous articles with qualifying rounds be updated to use the NI Open format, but i think thats more confusing to the reader and is entirely inconsistent with previous standards, not to mention it wouldn’t work with the world champions pages or anything pre-2010. Thanks for your reply in advance. —CitroenLover (talk) 07:43, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'd be happier with it being two sections. Especially as most of the qualifying takes place in a different place. I don't think we should want huge brackets. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:20, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thought as much, and yeah the qualifying is elsewhere so doesn't make sense for it to be in the main draw. Thanks for correcting the mistake on that page! --CitroenLover (talk) 08:28, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I suspect it's just overzelousness. Generally I don't care too much for the draws, most of my work is tournament formats, summaries etc, and then taking the articles to GAN. I realise a lot of people do a lot of work to get the brackets in shape, it's just that it doesn't interest me all that much. However, we should do our best to shorten the brackets where we can. The 128 brackets are huge, and I get we can't just remove them for events with 128 participants, but we certainly shouldn't be wanting them to be that size. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:37, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Heh yeah that makes sense to compartmentalise the work that you do, which I really do appreciate! (plus your insight for resolving disputes helps a ton in helping me to be a better editor). I agree, keeping things short and simple makes it easier to maintain. --CitroenLover (talk) 10:01, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

GA review
I nominated Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor to GA. It's quite smaller to previous stuff I nominated. I noticed you nominated Danganronpa V3 to GA but unfortunately I don't fit to be a reviewer since I edited some parts in the past. If there is another an exchange of a another article you nominated, I might be able to review it in exchange. What do you think? Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 15:08, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery
The article Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery 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 Legobot, on behalf of Tintor2 -- Tintor2 (talk) 00:01, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Note: this should have been a passage, but the GA nominee template on the talk page was removed rather than being replaced with the GA template indicating passage, so the bot thought it was a fail. I have added the GA template to the article's talk page, and will see whether Legobot will notice that the article ought to have been passed and/or add the GA icon to the article page on its next pass through about ten minutes from now. If not, my plan is to take care of the icon, but it I haven't done so within the hour, please feel free to do so yourself. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:32, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
