Editor of the Week
User:Buster7 submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * I nominate MaranoFan to be Editor of the Week. 55% of his over 20000 edits have been to mainspace. He has authored 42 GA's, 7 FA's, 6 featured lists, 3 good topics and 1 featured topic mostly about modern pop music. American singer Meghan Trainor's article was an early favorite in the midst of other editors littering the article with fancruft. But eventually the dust cleared, no one else was editing her article, it was free of daily conflict and it was ready to be transformed into a featured Article. They have been putting in solid shifts at FAC reviewing other editors' nominations: making insightful and constructive comments to help them on their way to promotion. A wonderful contributor at DYK, most definitely a team player. This nomination was seconded by Gog the Mild and theleekycauldron.

Thanks again for your efforts! &#8213; Buster7  &#9742;   13:40, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I am over the moon. Thank you so much for this honour, Buster7. After having been misunderstood, mistreated, and just generally put through hell during my first five years on this site, recognition for being a team player truly means the world to me. This year has been beyond all my expectations and it has not been possible without your help, Gog and TLC. Thank you! Editor of the Week has been something I have always wanted so words won't be able to describe my happiness.--NØ 14:40, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Promotion of To Be Loved (Adele song)

 * Congrats on the promotion! Aoba47 (talk) 15:41, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much, Aoba47! Only one of the best songs on 30.--NØ 15:56, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Of course. I agree. It is my favorite song from the album. I'd be curious to see what you do after the "Water Under the Bridge" (song) FAC is completed. Aoba47 (talk) 18:02, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Pronouns
Hey! Hate to ask, but I'm working on Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Featured content, and, well, opening paragraphs mention you because you've done a lot of great featured articles, and I wanted to note why I keep writing "NO" (well, NØ) after your name in case there was any doubt. However, I'm not 100% sure of your pronouns, and I thought it's better to check now than after publication, especially as I'm explicitly celebrating your work in it. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 07:35, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Hey Adam, really glad to hear that! I use he/him pronouns. And you're right about the "NØ" thing being inspired by the song "No", lol.--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 07:42, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Sorry to ask, just, y'know, I'd rather be sure I got it right, and liking Marano is hardly a gender signifier. Cheers! Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 08:50, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello again. I just wanted to congratulate you on the "I Drink Wine" TFA. I hope that it does not attract too much vandalism lol and hat's off to you for keeping up with the updates since the music video came out after the FAC. Aoba47 (talk) 02:07, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

 * It really is. It was certainly some interesting timing there lol. Aoba47 (talk) 03:16, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the article, "about Adele's song "I Drink Wine", a sombre ballad she wrote with her "Hello" collaborator Greg Kurstin in the aftermath of her divorce. The song's original 15-minute version was reduced to a six-minute track for the release of 30. A favourite among fans and critics alike, it reached the top 10 in various countries despite not seeing a commercial single release. The song was also showcased in an acclaimed performance at the Brit Awards this year."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:33, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Request for peer review help
Hello again. Apologies for the random message. I was wondering if you had the time to help with my current peer review. The article is about an obscure Spanish-language extended play by Rosanna Tavarez, who used the stage name Chana, and I am currently on the fence on if it would be appropriate or ready for a FAC so I want to get as much feedback as possible. However, the peer review has been open for several weeks now without any feedback so I would greatly appreciate it, but I completely understand if you do not have the time or interest. Hope you are having a great start to your month! Aoba47 (talk) 03:52, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I was reading that article a few days ago and it is in great shape according to me. I could probably only come up with a few suggestions for changes which would be easily addressed within the scope of an FAC. So I'd personally say you can go ahead with the nomination already!--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 04:02, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I appreciate the response. I will likely go for a FAC for the article sometime next week then. Aoba47 (talk) 05:55, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in my prose review. I'm going to definitely try to get it up by the 15th.--<b style="color:purple">N</b><b style="color:teal">Ø</b> 14:09, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries. Take as much time as you need. There is absolutely no rush with it. The FAC is still very much in the early stages (as it has not even been a week since it was opened), and I greatly appreciate the image review, especially the help with the EP cover.

Coming to say the same: congrats to the new FA, and thank you today for Like I'm Gonna Lose You, "about Meghan Trainor's song "Like I'm Gonna Lose You", which features guest vocals from John Legend. She almost didn't include it on her debut major-label studio album until being convinced otherwise by her uncle. When it was ultimately released as its fourth single, it revitalized the album's commercial momentum and became Trainor's third top-10 single from it, also reaching number one in Australia, New Zealand, and Poland."!
