Team GB at 2008 Olympics GAR

[edit]

Hi, this is a courtesy message just to let you know that I'm currently working on the Good Article Reassessment of Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics. I know you were involved in getting it through its initial GA Review many years ago and wanted to check that you were still watching the page. I'm not necessarily asking you to help, although any suggestions/objections would be welcomed. Regards, Rodney Baggins .talk. 07:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
