== [[CW 24 News]] ==
Hi Voorts, I saw you moved [[CW 24 News]] to draft on May 29 (for good reasons!) it was "merged back" by GQO on May 30, but I just found today that it still had numerous problems. I corrected several, making the article very skinny. And I'm in serious doubt re. the Order of the Red Banner of Labour, but can't find hard info that this is made up.

Thank you for improving article quality in June, such as this new FA! When should it run for TFA? Any specific day, or just soon? - Today we have a centenarian story (documentation about it by Percy Adlon) and an article that had two sentences yesterday and was up for deletion, and needs a few more citations. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:18, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soon works for me. I think I have a couple of FAs that I still haven't nominated at TFA. I'm also just getting back from vacation. I hope you're enjoying your summer. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 01:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you today for Well he would, wouldn't he?, introduced: "Tim O'Doherty and I would nominate this article, wouldn't we?" --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! voorts (talk/contributions) 21:17, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
