| == Prežihov Voranc GA Nomination == | |||
| Hello - Life has intervened somewhat on enjoying Misplaced Pages so I apologise for my tardiness in this matter. As far as I recall the article on Prežihov Voranc was not put forward by me for good article status. I wrote a start page many years ago and a Slovene Wikipedian took the article aand rewrote most of it. Looking at it after a period of some years I appreciate it hasn't got enough citations (not easy to find in English I think) to earn GA status. Did I nominate in error? If I did I am sorry for my folly. I am happy to look for better / more references but I do not think I am a good fit to get Prežihov Voranc to GA status. I did nominate my article on Thomas Medwin sometime ago but have not yet heard anything on that one. I do appreciate your work in editing and reviewing.] (]) 12:56, 18 October 2020 (UTC) | |||
