 * Hi, re your post at User talk:The lad searches the night for his newts - that might not be the best user to ask, see Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations. -- Red rose64 (talk) 12:48, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the thought. I'm not asking "The lad" to do the review - I'm asking how to even request someone review it if the automatically generated list of good article candidates has people sign up but not have to change that they signed up. I don't have a CLUE how to get other people to see it needs a reviewer other than bouncing around on individual pages of individual reviewers possible. I don't mean to say any individual person should do the review - but that the system that does the listing isn't alterable for how to get it on the list for someone to review. Am I making sense? --Smkolins (talk) 12:51, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * At the top of WP:GAN there's a row of tabs, the last one is Help Desk. There, I see several threads concerning half-finished reviews, so that's probably a good place to start. -- Red rose64 (talk) 13:45, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you!!! Everything is obvious when you see it. --Smkolins (talk) 13:46, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm a complete GA novice, but as I see it the best way to get another reviewer might be to FAIL the GA nomination this time around and then resubmit it to GAN for a second time. It's a drag getting pushed back down the queue, but it might have the desired effect (especially since the Help Desk page looks a little bit dormant). Hope this helps - good luck! — sparklism hey! 13:27, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I thank you for the time and concern. I hope there is a more straightforward path but we'll see what develops. --Smkolins (talk) 02:11, 15 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Review refreshed, and put on hold again. I like the work that has been done. The article is much clearer now. However, I am concerned about the reading of the sources. There appears to be a claim in the article that his Indian heritage was challenged by the Yakama Nation. I'm not seeing that in the sources. See Talk:Nipo T. Strongheart/GA1.

 * thank's for letting me know though I don't see the controversy exactly. --Smkolins (talk) 11:37, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * by all means review my updates to that talk page. --Smkolins (talk) 13:13, 15 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I've closed the GAN as not listed. I think the issue regarding his ethnicity needs to be resolved as it's fairly significant. There are currently statements in the article which are saying things that we agree are unsound, so I will remove those. When you have found a way of explaining the uncertainly of his ethnicity and upbringing in a neutral way by using reliable published sources, and the prose, lead and structure of the article have been improved, please renominate.
