Followed GA reassessment instructions, didn't transclude...[edit]
I'm trying to get a reassessment for Wyangala. I added the GAR template to the talk page, added the new section at the bottom of the talk page, created the GA2 page, and it's not transcluding to the assessment page. MSJapan (talk) 13:53, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- This discussion continued at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Wyangala GA? Prhartcom (talk) 03:51, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
For the future, what should I categorize scientists who become science communicators as? Jerod Lycett (talk) 22:23, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
British Bangladeshi reassessment issue[edit]
To notify people about Talk:British Bangladeshi/GA1, I have placed the {{GARMessage}} template on a number of WikiProject talk pages, such as here. However, the original GA review seems to be at Talk:British Bangladeshi/GA2, and the template points editors there rather than to the reassessment. Any ideas why this is the case and how it can be fixed? Cordless Larry (talk) 20:56, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
- I've manually fixed the links, but am still confused about the page numbering. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:04, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Greyhound review help needed[edit]
I've requested a GA review on the Greyhound Lines article. It received, an initial review and I made the requested changes, but now the reviewer @StudiesWorld: has now disappeared. Can the review be redone, assigned to a new reviewer, or whatever is done in a situation like this. Thanks! --RickyCourtney (talk) 03:07, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
- Stand down. The reviewer has finally reappeared. --RickyCourtney (talk) 03:33, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Missing Plus sign[edit]
I recently reviewed a GA nomination, an interesting mathematics article on Reversible cellular automaton and had it pass. I think I did everything right but there is no green Plus sign appearing on the article page. On the Talk page it does mention it is a Mathematics GA. What did I do wrong? Edwininlondon (talk) 11:33, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- Never mind. I did it manually. Edwininlondon (talk) 20:24, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Reviews count not showing by username[edit]
I did a review last year, and it is tallied at User:GA_bot/Stats, but "(Reviews: 1)" does not show up by my username on the nominations page. How come? (Ok, I know it's only one review, but still.) Thanks. -hugeTim (talk) 02:30, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
- I just completed my first GA review a few days ago, and my tally is neither listed at User:GA bot/Stats nor next to my username on the nominations page. Is there a specific action an editor must take for the GA Bot to give them credit for GA reviews? I manually added the green "+" to the article I reviewed, so it's possible the GA bot missed me. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:17, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- My review count suddenly stopped listing a long time ago (my GA notifs went along with it), so I haven't been doing as many reviews since. I've contacted the bot maintainer at several different times and left a note on this talk page previously but haven't heard back. czar 19:45, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
