Final comments and verdict[edit]

  •  On hold for two weeks until all of the issues are fixed; the sources may take a bit of time to replace or remove. --K. Peake 08:17, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi K. Peake; please be advised that I have decided to withdraw my GA nomination of this article, due to the amount of sources you've deemed unreliable. Unfortunately I am struggling to find the time to replace/correct them within a reasonable timeframe; perhaps I will revisit at a future date. Apologies for wasting your time.--Changedforbetter (talk) 15:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✗ Fail after your decision, however that is sad since I put a lot of effort into reviewing this. --K. Peake 07:49, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
