DarklyShadows It concerns me that you only have a 1.7% contribution percentage to this article Per Good Article nomination instructions, it is preferable that nominators have contributed significantly to the article and are familiar with its subject and its cited sources. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination. In this case, you should have contacted User:LupEnd007 who has done 36% of the contributions to that page and is still busy contributing it. Cool Marc ✉ 20:36, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Coolmarc Hi Coolmarc! This is not the first time this user has done this. A while ago I greatly expanded David Bowie's song "The Man Who Sold the World", this user made 2 edits (both of which got reverted), then nominated it for GA without consulting me. They also clearly didn't read the article because it's currently not near GA material yet. You can also see they responded in the GA by acting annoyed that another user and I would turn on them for nominating it. This user has apparently retired from WP so it would be in our best interest to withdraw this nomination and maybe contact User:LupEnd007 to see if they want to nominate it. I just thought you should know this is not the first time this user has done something like this. Cheers :-) – zmbro (talk) 17:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Zmbro How did you know I nominated Stressed Out for GA in the first place? I didn't even tell you I was nominating and you have to come here and cause even more problems. It kind of worries me that you are stalking my work. DarklyShadows (talk) 18:10, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
- DarklyShadows It shows up on the GAN page. Since I've brought multiple articles to GA myself I sometimes like to check out reviews to see how they're going, especially for editors that I've interacted with before. One click leads to another and boom. I'm genuinely interested in other editors' projects and contributions. That's certainly not "stalking" and if that's your idea of it that's your problem. Over the years I've seen multiple editors nominate articles for both GA, FAC, and FLC that they barely contributed to and since you did the exact same thing to me a while ago, I thought I'd let Coolmarc know that this wasn't the first time. It wasn't cool at all to do that and it certainly wasn't cool here either.
- Side note I'm sorry to see that you've decided to retire. I understand that WP can be stressful. I've had my fair share of stress caused by the site and I know it sucks when tons of work you've done is just deleted because one person doesn't like it. But it's a site that anyone can edit so obviously you're going to encounter many editors that don't agree with you. There has been dozens of arguments and fights over whether Stanley Kubrick's page should have an infobox for YEARS now. It's just what happens. If you do decide to retire, I wish you the best of luck irl. If you do decide to stay, I wish you the best of luck in your contributions. I know when you added pictures to Beatles articles under your old username they were helpful (some more than others) but in the future, do things that are considered ethical on the site (like what Coolmarc said above) and follow the guidelines for notability and I'm sure you'll have fewer problems. – zmbro (talk) 18:43, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
The nominator who did not contribute to the article has retired. I reached out to article's main contributor LupEnd007 on their talk page to hear if they wanted to take over from the nominator, no response from them. Therefore I am failing this. Cool Marc ✉ 06:57, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
