Hey this is a really interesting idea! Having no experience in FA, I think it’ll be hard for us get it there, especially in 10 days, but with work, perhaps GA is within reach. Anyway I think it’ll be really cool for us to work on getting a GA together if you’d like, whether it be this article or another one. Let me know your thoughts. Bit busy at the moment, but I’ll definitely take a look at it when I can. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 19:49, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I forgot it was 2025 already ahaha. Maybe we can find a different article more up our wheelhouse. I will say I start law school in August so I'm unsure of how much free time I'll have for a while after that. I may have to put my account on hold. Sock-the-guy (talk) 19:57, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, honestly I'd still offer it even past the expiration date :3 Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 20:27, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

prepare yourself for the best toucan article this encyclopedia has ever seen Sock-the-guy (talk) 17:59, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! I think I'm better at throwing together sources and adding info to the page, but the organization/prose may suffer. I'll tag you once I think I've added enough data that it might need help restructuring to better look like a good article. Thanks! Sock-the-guy (talk) 17:58, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay! Sounds great. I do a ton of copyediting, so I can help with that. Also just with the GA process in general. I doubt I'm good enough to get anything to FA yet (maybe you could), but GA is within reach! GoldRomean (talk) 18:25, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I like the more attainable GA goal ;) Sock-the-guy (talk) 18:49, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Sorry to totally butt in here, but I noticed the recent activity at Keel-billed toucan and @GoldRomean's rating at Talk:Keel-billed toucan. I've had the article on my to-do list for improvements since April, but (predictably!) I never got round to working on it, so thank you @Sock-the-guy for being proactive! :) I've just finished some tweaks, so my authorship is currently 40%, but this figure is way more than I've actually contributed to the article; I've mostly just been adding archive links, unifying refs and dealing with formatting/MOS adjustments. I was wondering whether anyone would be interested in a GA co-nomination? After GA I would definitely be up for working towards FA as well, but there's no pressure either way. Pineapple Storage (talk) 14:50, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really feel I've done that much, I think the credit should go to you if anyone. I'm not too interested in the nomination process but I'm happy to keep working with you towards FA! We can cut that coin into 3rds ;) Sock-the-guy (talk) 18:55, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We'll have to agree to disagree then! :) And no problem, I'm happy to nominate it and respond to the review etc. It would be great to work together on getting it to FA afterwards! Pineapple Storage (talk) 22:54, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic! I'll do my best to help with the review as well. Thanks! Sock-the-guy (talk) 23:32, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds really awesome, both of you! Although you're going to figure out how to turn those thirds into halves again, since I haven't/won't really do much :D. I'm good to answer any questions, though. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 01:11, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GoldRomean, Thank you for the feedback!! I went through your notes, tightened the layout and added stronger local and international sources.. If you see anything else that could change it just let me know and I’ll take care of it. Your help means a lot thank you very much!! :) Vikiloger (talk) 06:35, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome :). GoldRomean (talk) 16:57, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey GoldRomean just tweaked the draft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ronkay_Arslan) with all your notes. Do you mind give an another quick look when you can? Thanks! Vikiloger (talk) 06:01, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for signing my Guestbook!

Thanks! Much needed. GoldRomean (talk) 02:20, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me get it listed? Not sure what is missing. It isn't just advertising anymore than any official Hall of Fame is that is listed. The group is a non-profit and isn't selling anything, just wanting a number of wikipedia entries for US Table Tennis Hall of Fame Inductees a chance to link to the main organization granting their inclusion:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_O%27Neill_(table_tennis) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Owens_(table_tennis) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Zhenshi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Aarons - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Butler_(table_tennis) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leah_Neuberger - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norm_Bass 67.171.179.111 (talk) 01:57, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your article needs mores sources, and it also sounds like it was written by an AI. Also, it is very promotional, even if not intended to be. Let me know if you have specific questions. GoldRomean (talk) 02:22, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Overview, History, Induction, Governance and selcted inductees. I don't understand the promotional aspect you are referring to. We are a Hall of Fame. The whole idea is to promote those in the hall. I am using the ITTF Hall of Fame as a published model.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITTF_Hall_of_Fame 67.171.179.111 (talk) 08:25, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you affiliated with the US Table Tennis Hall of Fame in any way? Additionally, I will tell you that ITTF Hall of Fame has a cleanup tag and is not a great article to use as an example; an excellent example is good article Hall of Fame for Great Americans (although it is not sports related), or even National Baseball Hall of Fame, if you wish to follow good examples. GoldRomean (talk) 16:14, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am affiliated with the Hall. Thank you for the tip not to use the ITTF Hall of Fame and to look a the National Baseball HOF. 67.171.179.111 (talk) 20:30, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That needs to be disclosed. See WP:PSCOI. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 20:39, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope you’re doing well! I’ve been working on a draft article about the New Mogadishu International Airport and would really appreciate your guidance and feedback. Would you be available to take a look and help me improve it? --Majid8097 (talk) 05:40, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Majid8097 you might also consider asking for feedback at WT:AIRPORTS, the Airports Project. The Aviation projects are usually pretty active. Buckshot06 (talk) 07:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Romean. My husband passed away 2 years ago and was a remarkable person with achievements. How would I go about creating a bio page about him? --JHeathcroft (talk) 13:31, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please see WP:YFA and let me know if you have any questions. GoldRomean (talk) 13:22, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi some edits from an exchange we had on an article I wrote are turning up in public search, can you point me to a preferred method of archiving it? Thanks! https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Indochine_(restaurant)&oldid=1292230880 --Cultcritix (talk) 13:38, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the problem is your article needs to be reviewed via WP:NPP before being searchable. There's quite a backlog so it might take a bit unfortunately. GoldRomean (talk) 13:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am attempting to amend a page for a band that I am part of. The page keeps being reverted. Please advise. --GhostDanceBand (talk) 12:41, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:OWN and WP:COI. You should not be editing this page. Additionally, you are removing material without a real reason, and your amendments need reliable sources supporting them. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 13:29, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All details made in the recent edit can be verified by either Harlequins Rugby or England Rugby and can referenced by relaiable internet searches. Please could you kindly reinstate. 2A04:204:43EA:9400:2470:790C:A26B:AA92 (talk) 00:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you add the content, you must source it; it is not up to the reader to find the source via "reliable internet searches". Please add reliable sources to your edits or it will be reverted again. Thanks, GoldRomean (talk) 00:59, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
