Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Hindal Mirza you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Johanna -- Johanna (talk) 04:01, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello Royroydeb, Since you have not yet replied, I am still wondering as to what is the problem with the GA nomination of Shisha Gumbad article that you failed. Neither have I seen any feedback from you (anywhere) nor any intimation to myself that you started the review and / or the reason behind the decline. What steps did you take for the GA review? If you think you made a mistake in reviewing, kindly revert the change and let someone else review the page. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 05:16, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Asian Month will begin in less than an hours, and once again, thank you for signing up! Let's help the world know more about Asia! Below are a few reminders for you:
Please check out the rules here. Some rules have been adjusted—the most important being that on the English Wikipedia, stubs may be expanded with some limitations.
Do take the time to read the Q&A if you have any questions, or ask on the talk page.
The list of participants has been alphabetized so you can more easily find your name and report your contributions.
The second-ever GA Cup is now over! The competition officially ended Thursday. Congrats to everyone who participated, and especially to our finalists.
The winner of the 2nd GA Cup is Zwerg Nase! He earned 408 points, over 100 points more than he earned in all previous rounds. He tied with our second-place winner, Sturmvogel 66 with 367 points, in number of articles reviewed (24), and they earned almost the same points for reviewing articles that were in the queue the longest (Zwerg with 322, Sturmvogel with 326). Basically, they tied in points, but what made the different for Zwerg was the advantage he had in reviewing longer articles. It seems that the rule change of earning more realistic points for longer articles made a difference. All of our contestants should be proud of the work they were able to accomplish through the GA Cup. Congrats to these worthy opponents!
Our third and fourth place winners, Johanna and Tomandjerry211, also ran a close race, with 167 points and 147 points respectfully. We had one withdrawal; we found it interesting that competitors dropped out in Round 2 and 3 as well. One of the original judges and co-creator of this competition, User:Dom497 stepped down as judge during Round 3; as stated previously, we will miss his input and wish him the best.
The judges were pleased with our results, even though fewer users competed this time compared to our inaugural competition. We recognize that this might be due to holding the competition during the summer months. We intend on looking more closely when we should conduct this contest, as well as other aspects of the GA Cup. We've set up a feedback page for everyone's input about how we should conduct the contest and what rule changes should be made. If you have any ideas about how we can improve things, please visit it and give us your input.
Again, thanks to all and congratulations to our winners! Please stay tuned for the start of GA Cup #3.
The judges would like to congratulate you for making the 2nd round being in the top 16! Although you didn't make the top 9 of Round 2, we appreciate that you participated in the 2nd Annual GA Cup. We hope to see you next year! MrWooHoo (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nawa-I-Barakzayi District, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Shamalan.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Battle of Jajau, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wazir.

Jorge Alonso: 1 - he did not score three goals in 36 games in his first season with UD Salamanca, he scored ZERO in ONE game; 2 - CD Leganés is in Segunda División now, yes sir, but when he signed they competed in Segunda División B. Don't worry, I have already duly cleaned up article.
Yes, I understand the franchise bit, but to keep everything coherent I choose this approach (FC Goa plays the same sport as, let's say, Arsenal, do they not? Hence, "club" is universal, and Atlético K (or FC Goa, etc) is from India so "Indian club" is 100% correct). The leagues (in this case the ISL or the I-L) should be dealt with in the proper storyline.
On 28 November 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Bahadur Shah I, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after trying to overthrow his father twice in ten years, Bahadur Shah I resorted to being a "grudgingly obedient son"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Bahadur Shah I. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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 there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Al-Masjid an-Nabawi you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of D'SuperHero -- D'SuperHero (talk) 13:20, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know I am glad to be reviewing the article Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in which you've been a major contributor, and has been nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.
Royroydeb, you opened this review page on November 16, but you haven't yet begun the actual review. Please give this your attention as soon as possible. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:21, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Please note that I plan to close this review at the end of December 24 UTC if you have not posted the start of it by then. You've already had a month and a week to start it, and I'm allowing you two weeks from the above review. It really isn't far to the nominator to claim a review but not do it. I hope to see your post there in the next 32 hours. Many thanks for your attention to this matter. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:41, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
Do address about the issues on the article and update yourself regarding it. Denial in addressing issues may lead to the quick-fail of the article nomination. Thank you. D'SuperHero (talk) 07:10, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
