Epicgenius, the effort at User:Iazyges/Doug GA Rewrite Claims had to be archived, as not everyone was following instructions, as you had. Could you have a look at the now more complete information and FAQ at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023, with new instructions and a new place to post intent ? Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:38, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
The article 280 Broadway you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:280 Broadway for comments about the article, and Talk:280 Broadway/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

May I suggest that you try to review a number of articles for each one you nominate for GA? You've nominated 450+ GAs in total, but have only reviewed 46. It could really help with the backlog. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 13:22, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi Epicgenius, hope you are well. As you know, the ‘ apostrophe set has been replaced by the ' configuration per WP:MOS. The problem is that I’ve been copy-pasting the new configuration from the lede of an article in order to use it elsewhere in the article. How can I get this font directly from my keyboard?

Bump! -- Hoary (talk) 04:46, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
This has bothered me for some time-so many of these articles are so insanely specific-for specific embankments, and the article on the Lackawanna Cut-Off Restoration Project has many issues. Wikipedia shouldn't include remaining work. The author of the work is one of the big boosters for the project, and has a major conflict of interest, writing about one of his groups here. Most of these articles should be deleted with the project one scaled back, but this person will passionately push back about it. Given this, I would appreciate your help in proposing to delete many of the smaller articles. Thanks. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 20:57, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
In November 1979, Amtrak operated an inspection train between Hoboken and Scranton to investigate intercity rail service between the two cities. Dubbed the "Pocono Mountain Special", the train left Hoboken and ran west on the Morristown Line on November 13, 1979, reaching Port Morris shortly after 9 a.m. With the main line severed at Port Morris Junction, the special train detoured through Port Morris Yard, ran over Port Morris Wye, and then rolled onto the Cut-Off. The train ran to Scranton, where it was met by a group of political dignitaries. It was the last passenger train in the twentieth century—and the only Amtrak train—to operate over the entire routemay be condensed into a single sentence.I think this may also be of interest to @Trainsandotherthings, who has been instrumental in removing rail-related cruft over the past two years. – Epicgenius (talk) 21:56, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
On 28 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lexington Hotel (New York City), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.
