@BeanieFan11: Long enough, new enough. QPQ done and Earwig is clean. I see no reason why this might deserve a maintenance template, though I did see one non-disqualifying WP:CLUMP in there that I'd expect a competent GA reviewer to pick up on. ALT1 is boring and I suspect that ALT0 may be affected by the DYKFICTION RfC on WT:DYK; of the others, my preference is ALT2. I don't think this is a DYK issue, but you might want to go through some of the Harvard citations and check that they marry up with the correct Bibliography entries; I have User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js and it's picking up a few errors.--Launchballer 19:56, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: I noticed the citation issue as well but couldn't seem to figure out how to correct them. It looks like the Markus, Mongush & Devlet and Shoigu & Shoigu refs seem to link correctly but then the others don't. Do you have any idea what the issue might be? By the way, do you think Buyan-Badyrgy would be a good GA candidate? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:05, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
