Adoption

Hello! Would you be open to discussing possible adoption? I also have a (big) interest in tornadoes (especially after going through a tornado outbreak myself :P) and I think overall you are a cool person who could provide valuable mentorship. Thank you, FarmerUpbeat (talk) 00:12, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure!! It's almost tornado season, so perfect time to ask. Do you have any off-the-bat questions? :) E_F⁵ 00:13, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, what would the best way to communicate be? FarmerUpbeat (talk) 01:05, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer on-wiki, if that's fine. It's nothing personal, it's just that Wikipedia is the website I have access the most to throughout the day (and I've had at least one questionable experience with talking off-wiki). :D — E_F⁵ 01:09, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your nomination of Tornado outbreak of December 28–29, 2024 has failed

Your good article nomination of the article Tornado outbreak of December 28–29, 2024 has failed. See the review page for more information. If or when the reviewer's feedback has been addressed, you may nominate the article again. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of SnowyRiver28 -- SnowyRiver28 (talk) 06:45, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SnowyRiver28: ? Wikipedia doesn't have a deadline. ^EF⁵ 11:47, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, nominations can be open for more than seven days without being closed for inactivity; I was actively working on addressing your concerns if you would have checked the edit history. ^EF⁵ 11:49, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of WP:NODEADLINE, and I did check the edit history before failing the article. I failed the article to allow you to address the concerns of the review that weren't addressed during the 7 day period (generally accepted as a standard hold period per WP:GAN/I#HOLD), and the additional 7 day extension added to the hold period. I don't believe WP:NODEADLINE applies here, otherwise what is the point of the on-hold period if it extends infinitely?

Additionally, as I mentioned in the note on the review page, I believe the improvements needed to the article are quite significant and require substantial time. In hindsight, I would have failed the nom after my initial review, not that that affects anything here.

I also offered to quickly re-review the article if you get the issues fixed to save the wait for it to be reviewed: feel free to reach out and I'll happily do another review (considering I've read and understood and reviewed the entire article already), to save you and another editor going through the entire process again SnowyRiver28 (talk) 12:11, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They really aren't that significant; I could have got them done last afternoon had I not had something come up. ^EF⁵ 12:15, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The significance is subjective so I won't argue that here, but please know the fail isn't punitive in any way. It was done for the reasons I explained above and can be reversed relatively quickly as I also explained above. SnowyRiver28 (talk) 12:19, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SnowyRiver28: All done. Would you consider re-opening/re-reviewing it? I'm mostly frustrated because GANs take months to get reviews without going through WP:GARC. ^EF⁵ 13:45, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I'll re-review tomorrow morning. I understand the frustration with waiting months which is why I offered when I failed the nom to quickly re-review upon the article being fixed to save you the wait. SnowyRiver28 (talk) 13:50, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EF5 the article looks good now, could you please just officially re-nominate it for GA so I can pass the review. Let me know when it's re-nominated and I'll get to it asap. SnowyRiver28 (talk) 23:48, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SnowyRiver28: done, thanks. :) ^EF⁵ 00:07, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All sorted, my apologies for the misunderstanding earlier.

The bot didn’t quite do its job properly here, I think because I passed the article before it had a chance. I’ve manually transcluded the review page to the article’s talk page, and another editor added the GA topicon to the article.

The bot also didn’t get a chance to post a message here, so let this serve as the ‘article has passed’ notification. SnowyRiver28 (talk) 02:20, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
