Welcome to the club
edit| The Featured Article Medal | ||
| I seem to have overlooked conferring this when your first FAC was promoted, but better late than never, so, by the authority vested in me by myself it gives me great pleasure to present you with this special, very exclusive award created just for we few, we happy few, this band of brothers, who have shed sweat, tears and probably blood, in order to be able to proudly claim "I too have taken an article to Featured status".

FAC review request
editFirst off, congrats on the FA for prostate cancer I see above - that's quite an accomplishment! I really appreciated your taking the time to help review Maria Trubnikova for FA earlier this year. I nominated Nadezhda Stasova, an article about another member of the Russian feminist "triumvirate", for FAC review a month ago and it's been going through the process. However, it's only attracted 2 full reviewers and an image review so far, and though all 3 editors supported, I'm worried it'll get archived soon without another reviewer taking a look and helping develop a broader consensus. Do you have any time to comment on the article soon? If not, no worries of course, but if you do, thank you! —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:23, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Of course, it would be my pleasure. Ping me again if you haven't heard from me by the end of the weekend. Ajpolino (talk) 21:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- I know I've now passed my own deadline. Hoping to get to this tonight. Ajpolino (talk) 16:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
