Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 127:

::It is not a tarring to call it unsolicited but a simple fact since the main contributor did not nominate it and was pulled into the review without making that choice him/herself. Of course this is how Wikipedia works, and that is not a problem, but it does not necessarily make for a very comfortable review experience for the article writer. I didn't know that s/he had asked you to participate that of course is good, and alleviates some of my worry that s/he has a less happy experience than they deserve. Several other editors however have not been so requested and have been a lot more hostile than you. You are among the main contributors in fact a shared second place according to wikichecker - but with 17 edits to the article there is still quite a way up to the main contributor with 242 edits.

:::I actually have 28 contributions if you include my previous user name; still a lot less than 242 admittedly, but enough to make me the fourth-highest contributor.

::::It is interesting that the proposer for [[WP:GA]] was a newbie - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/CurlyLoop See here]. It is interesting to note that the same editor proposed merging three articles relating to metrication into one (See his/her contribution list). It is interesting to note that I have been harassed by a number of sock-puppets of the banned [[User:DeFacto]] on the matter of metrication and that some of these sockpuppets have been using clever disguises to hide their sock-master. At this stage I have insufficient evidence to accuse User:CurlyLoop of being a sockpuppet, but given the above, I cannot rule it out. It is possible therefore that proposing this article as a candidate for [[WP:GA]] was done to bait me, but I cannot prove this one way or the other.
