Recent GA nominations
Duckduckstop, you recently began nominating a large number of articles for WP:GAN, your first nominations in this area as best I can determine. In all 17 cases, these were articles you hadn't been working on: you added the nomination and then posted a notification that you had done so.
The GA nomination instructions are quite clear that if you haven't done significant work on the article, you should consult with active editors on the article before nominating: Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article on the article talk page prior to a nomination.
Are you planning to shepherd these nominations through the review process, making corrections and adding inline cites as necessary? You're supposed to do that, too: The reviewer will be making suggestions to improve the article to GA quality during the review process, therefore the review will require your involvement as nominator. Before nominating an article, ensure that you will be able to respond to these comments in a timely manner.
You cannot count on previous editors to do this ... unless, of course, you get their agreement that the article is ready for a GA nomination and that they're willing to respond to issues during the review. The same is true for mostly dormant articles, such as Elisabet Ney: if you don't address issues raised during the review, the odds are the article will fail.
All of your selections seem to be using the Objective Revision Evaluation Service as a basis for nominating, something I've never seen used as a reason before. Based on these 17 nominations, it's also not terribly accurate: your nomination of Cornelius Vanderbilt was reverted and the one for Martin Van Buren was quickfailed, while the Rogier van der Weyden article was characterized as "weak" and "underdeveloped for GA" by one of its editors. Elizabeth Catlett was scored at about 0.52 FA plus 0.39 GA, yet it has systemic prose and grammar issues, which should have been obvious to anyone reading it. Articles should be stable: instability is another reason for quickfail. Nominations of people who have just died (Andrew Grove and Johan Cruyff) are going to be problematic because of frequent edits due to their death; articles that are undergoing expansion (clearly seen in their history) should also not be nominated (Archibald Cox and Yann Martel). Articles should be ready to pass GA at the time they are nominated—while there is a large backlog, some nominations are chosen for review within hours of being nominated, when an article is interesting to a reviewer.
You currently have more active GA nominations than anyone by a significant margin, and all based on a novel criterion that doesn't reflect the actual GA criteria. I hope you will reconsider your methodology going forward, and withdraw all the ones that either you do not intend to edit at the review stage or are not immediately ready: undergoing expansion or otherwise unstable, tagged with problem templates or containing significant prose or other GA criteria issues, deemed not ready by active editors, and so on. Thank you for your understand, and I apologize if this is discouraging; I do hope you'll stick around and help Mary Mark Ockerbloom with the two nominations you've urged her to pursue. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:22, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- i have reached out on the talk page to encourage the editors of good articles to answer your reviews. i can handle any articles you can review.
- the ores score seems to indicate that there is a large backlog of articles that very well could be "good", but for your broken process. you might want to fix your process, rather than throttling nominations to it. quick failing articles that very well could be improved is not a process improvement. but i see we will be thrashing resubmittals as at AfC.
- it is important that articles that very well could be GA are promoted, so that we have an accurate quality assessment. deterring editors from even submitting their work to you, is dysfunctional, and cannot stand. Duckduckstop (talk) 16:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
- It's good to know that you're willing to undertake to make all the necessary edits when one of the nominations is reviewed. However, it is unfortunate that you did not see GAN as a collaborative process: your need to have an "accurate quality assessment" seems to overrule all, including finding out from the editors most involved where they felt the article stood—and many of them have significant experience at GA and are aware of the criteria and how well (or poorly) the article currently compares to them. If you want accurate quality assessments, I recommend that you go to a primary WikiProject and ask for a general assessment, noting that you think it might be ready for GA. I'm sure they'll tell you if they agree; if their assessment is a C, for example, then they clearly don't. B-class, the highest they can go without a review, will tell you that it's certainly close. I will be reverting some of your nominations for articles that clearly are not ready, or that are actively being expanded or otherwise unstable. I think that is clearly preferable to quickfailing them. Please note that the process is not "mine", and I cannot change it for you or anyone: it's not within my power to do so. Engaging with people on the talk page to suggest or propose changes is the way to go. I do try to help it run as smoothly as possible, and that sometimes means posts like the one above when people new to the process nominate or review in bulk without fully understanding how GAN works or what makes a GA. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:11, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- i win awards for collaboration, and no, i do not see GAN as collaborative. it is a gatekeeper process, as broken as any on wikipedia. it stands in the way of quality improvement. Duckduckstop (talk) 19:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
Your GA nomination of Yann Martel
The article Yann Martel you nominated as a good article has failed 
; see Talk:Yann Martel 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. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of LT910001 -- LT910001 (talk) 22:21, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 15:46, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tony Medina (poet)
The article Tony Medina (poet) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Ill-referenced article heavy on assertions and light on evidence of passing WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG. Part of the 2Leaf Press cluster.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Replaceable fair use File:Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Help request for mapping section titles
Hi. We (the Research Team at Wikimedia Foundation) are building an algorithm that will align Wikipedia article sections across languages. For improving this algorithm we need the help of multilingual Wikipedia editors to provide true statements to the algorithm. You are contacted because based on your Babel template and/or content translation tool usage you know at least two of the following languages: ar (Arabic), fr (French), ja (Japanese), en (English), es (Spanish), ru (Russian).
(Note: by clicking the links in the following paragraph, you will be taken to Google spreadsheet.) If you'd like to help us with translating a subset of the section titles on or before 2018-05-06, please read and follow the instructions. If you see instructions in another language, please scroll down to find your preferred language. If you have questions about this message, you can contact us via Diego. Thank you! :) --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

The file File:Art Buchwald.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
There now exists a free file on the Commons.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
