Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Born in the U.S.A. you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Born in the U.S.A. you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Born in the U.S.A. and Talk:Born in the U.S.A./GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Moisejp I'm taking this to FAC. Do you want a co-nom? – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 14:59, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zmbro! I'd love to but I also don't want to be a freeloader and co-nom if you've done 99% of the work on it. As I think you know, my real life has been a lot busier lately and I've struggled to find ongoing Wikipedia time. What I'd like to suggest is maybe we can wait a couple of weeks and we can see whether I can manage any meaningful contribution to the article during that time. I've started reading through it and making small edits, but I'll need to do more than this for my contributions to be meaningful. And although my absence during the GAN review was not on purpose, I wouldn't want to be similarly quasi-absent during the FAC. I think you suggested the Reception section as a place I may be able to start with contributing to. Let me see if I can manage to do anything there, and in a couple of weeks (or however long you're comfortable with, although I wouldn't want it to drag on and on, and for my busyness to hold you back from tackling FAC if the article is more or less ready) we could touch base and decide how to proceed. Let me know what you think, thanks! Moisejp (talk) 19:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zmbro. There are recent comments at Simplifying "Release history" tables and "Label" or "distributor". Your comments would be appreciated. Regards. 2001:D08:2908:42B8:181A:25E0:D35F:7F03 (talk) 04:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have nominated Kanye West's third studio album Graduation for GT status if you would care to comment? K. Peake 08:40, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure old friend! – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 14:55, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have actually now brought Yeezus to a GT nomination too, if this would interest you to comment as a contributor even? --K. Peake 19:49, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing! – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 23:16, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. But then again, Toy (2021) also shouldn't be quoted as a place of origin, because in 2014 (the year in which Nothing Has Changed was originally released) the album Toy didn't have an official yet. Therefore, in "Let Me Sleep Besides You" it should say: Previously unreleased. In "You Turn To Drive" it should say: 2003 download single. And in "Shadow Man" it should say: B-Side of the "Slow Burn" single. 190.163.26.103 (talk) 00:18, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are also right about that! That was a silly oversight and I'm glad you've corrected it. Appreciate your help. Do note: Discogs is considered an unreliable source, but since you're using images of the liner notes themselves, we would simply source the liner notes. So in this case you're fine :-) – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 15:32, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 14 February 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Born in the U.S.A., which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Born in the U.S.A. was the first compact disc to be manufactured in the United States for commercial release? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Born in the U.S.A.. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Born in the U.S.A.), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Zmbro. The middle of February is pretty much here, when I know you wanted to bring BitUSA to FAC. My mother passed away a couple of weeks ago and I'm going to be really busy this month cleaning out her apartment. She had lots of papers and little stuff to sort through, and I'm finding it a big job. Listen, I totally understand if you want to just take it to FAC yourself mid-Feb as planned. I'm not necessarily asking you to, but if you did want to wait for me, on the Talk page there are some issues that are more important the others, and I'd probably try to just clean up the most important ones in early March, and leave the lesser issues. But again, it's totally cool you prefer to just nominate it by yourself now. Cheers, Moisejp (talk) 04:30, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Moisejp I'm very sorry for your loss. I actually already have an FAC open (has two supports but we'll see if it ends up getting archived). I'm not in any hurry atm as I've also been preoccupied with things outside of WP so we'll see how I'm feeling in a few weeks. I appreciate your help as always and take as much time as you need. – zmbro _{(talk) (cont)} 16:56, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
