FIRST!!!!!! edit

Ho ho. So it doesn't look likely that the 2015 Tour de Suisse‎ will make ITN, but the great reaction to the quality of the article has to be positive. Again, great work. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

It's on the mainpage! Nice one. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 09:03, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yep, creating plenty of articles, mainly around cricket right now. Going to be busy with this tournament next month (go Canada!) and then the small matter of the Ashes. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:05, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Yes, saw the men's and women's races yesterday - great stuff. Cav was great, obviously would have nailed it on a flat finish. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:33, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Evening. The arbitration notice relates to comments I added at a thread at WP:ANI (which any user can do), but it's gone a stage further (not due to me, I might add)! The full thing is here. I don't agree with some of the edits KWW was making, but I can't be bothered with the full case. The people that deal with that will make their findings. So I'm not in trouble (for once!) and I'm def. not an admin. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:57, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

The article 2015 Tour de Suisse 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:2015 Tour de Suisse for things which need to be addressed.

Don't get too discouraged - it's tough to bring articles up to the standard required. Looks like this one is almost there. Maybe throw the question back to the reviewers and say "right now, as it stands, what is preventing this from reaching GA"? Good luck! I was working on the Tour's start list today. Just minor things on sourcing all the first-time starters. Thought it would only take about 10 minutes, but lasted well over an hour! Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:34, 2 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Haha, no probs! Remember, we're all volunteers here, so we can only do what we can do. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 18:38, 2 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sagan! edit

What a legend. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 13:39, 16 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Apart from the 2 minutes the race split out in the desert, it was pretty dull! First time I've seen a race where the final group of riders contained more people than were stood there watching it. Well at least there will be big crowds in Europe for the next three years. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 19:21, 16 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi Matt. Hope you're well. Don't know if you've been watching the 2017 Tirreno–Adriatico, but the end of stage 5 was one of the best I've seen! Skip to about 4:30 in this clip and enjoy. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 09:56, 15 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Good to hear you're well and not forgotten! Yes, the cycling articles are in good shape - take a look at the articles in the 2017 UCI World Tour page. I'm MSR'ing as I type too! 41.5km to go... Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 15:21, 18 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Nice work! Loved when Sagan took it up on the final climb and blew the race apart. Gutted for him to lose right on the line. But hats off for him shaking Kwiatkowski's hand straight away. What a legend. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 18:37, 18 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hero to villain in 24hrs! Damn. I don't think he should have been kicked off the tour though. Hope you're keeping well too. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 19:30, 4 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Yep, it looked bad, and no-one wants to leave with a broken shoulder/collar-bone, but there was no intent. Really bad choice to punish Sagan twice! Agree with you about the flat stages - been a bit dull so far (apart from the last 250m!) Some hills coming up now. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:58, 8 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Is the word legend over-used?! Sagan, AKA Mr Anonymous for 267km, appears with 500m to go! What a race. :D Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:35, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Sagan all the way! Was concerned when no-one was mentioning him on commentary, and they even had to check twice that he'd crossed the line for the final lap in the main group! Excellent course, great crowds and a fantastic world champs all round. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:10, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
