Your GA nomination of Boone Jenner
[edit]The article Boone Jenner you nominated as a good article has passed 
; see Talk:Boone Jenner for comments about the article, and Talk:Boone Jenner/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

- @Bruxton:, thanks so much for the review. I really liked the template you used and might use it for my next review! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:47, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- My pleasure. I have enjoyed learning about Boone, and I am not well versed in Hockey. I spent much time in DYK promoting articles to preps. I learned so much in that project and now I use much of that knowledge with GANs. They have a template in DYK and eventually I stopped using it. I find it useful to go through the GANs methodically and then check my suggestions against the criteria. I have found that I enjoy working with an editor one on one, making suggestions. I hope to review another of your articles! Bruxton (talk) 00:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Consider revisiting the article to see if "despite" is ok as it is used in the article. I just had occasion to see WP:WTW and despite is called out there. Since I called for the use, I felt I should let you know that I may have been mistaken. Bruxton (talk) 18:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

[edit]The article Juuse Saros you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold

2024 Stanley Cup playoffs
[edit]Just look through the last 100-150 edits to this article when you have a minute and you'll see my argument to semi-protect this article for a while. Deadman137 (talk) 23:24, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Deadman137, Done. Very excited to see who gets the second Eastern Conference wildcard spot tonight. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- There is a scenario where it could go to tomorrow night, but then I have to be on top of all the possibilities. Either way sit back and enjoy the games tonight. Deadman137 (talk) 23:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- The removal of the Mailloux/Newhook milestones as well as the Wideman retirement entries within their respective tables is disruptive to this page and should likewise be subject to the same sort of repercussion. This was done strictly out of spite in highlighting that 3-way trade formatting was/is prelevant across other NHL team pages. 2605:B100:B24:F40C:8C4F:588C:F15B:C723 (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
On an unrelated but hockey related note we have ban evading edit warrior using multiple IP addresses at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season, the article needs semi-protection. Deadman137 (talk) 00:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
The IP that was causing the problems at 2023–24 Montreal Canadiens season has created an account User:HabsFan2293. They also edited while on their block. The block started with this edit [1] and as you can see they started back up later that same day. [2]
It is a clear duck and the article will likely need further protection. Deadman137 (talk) 04:28, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Deadman137, Seems I have free time since I am certainly not celebrating a win tonight. EC protected. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks again. That was not an entertaining game, anytime I start working on the game summary that early and it's not an elimination game then I know it's bad. I've covered so many playoff games that I'm neutral in most games now, even with teams that I don't like. Plus I cannot really show any favouritism in the role that I work in. Deadman137 (talk) 05:30, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- New sock for HabsFan2293 is 47.54.200.195. Deadman137 (talk) 01:53, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Was blocked by the time I got to them! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 12:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
When you get a minute can you protect this article through June 25? There have been 13 disruptive edits in the last week. Deadman137 (talk) 03:57, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello HickoryOughtShirt?4:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!
Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
