Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Marmalade 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.

The article Marmalade you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Marmalade for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Jay Moorman is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jay Moorman until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

The article Marmalade you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Marmalade for comments about the article, and Talk:Marmalade/GA2 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Hi, this GAN has been running for quite a few weeks now, and it's moving very slowly. One week is the typical expected duration. I'll be away from my desk from the 17th so it'd be nice to get it closed out before then. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:28, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Floating Orb (talk) 16:03, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just a courtesy message to notify you in case you haven't seen the Wikipedia:The World Destubathon contest update in the last few days that we've decided to run the full month until the 16th of July. For those who have been too busy to contribute, we would love some help in reaching 4000 articles by Wednesday night! At present we're about 480 articles short!♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:35, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
