@Sturmvogel 66: Planning to do this one Sunday or soon after. Spot checking will be tough with the offline sources. Is there any way to get access to them for this purpose? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can send you pictures of the relevant pages on Monday.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That would be wonderful. I'll probably do the non-sourcing material today. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:16, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copy changes were done, so passing. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.
