Project A119[edit]

Nominator(s): Thanoscar21^talk_{contributions} 21:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the plan to drop a nuclear bomb on the moon. Thanoscar21^talk_{contributions} 21:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note[edit]

Hi Thanoscar21. You appear to have made only 1% of the total edits to this article, which goes against the FAC instructions that nominators should be main editors of the article in question. That said, I note the two top contributors, Grapple X and Boundarylayer, haven't been active on WP for a while. Nonetheless I'd be dubious about allowing this nom to continue -- do you have access to all the sources used in article? My thought ATM is it would be better if we dropped this nom for a while and you perhaps teamed up with Hawkeye7, who's made more edits than yourself here and is familiar with this sort of subject. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 22:01, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ian Rose, sorry, I must have missed that! I'll drop this, can you close it? Thanks, Thanoscar21^talk_{contributions} 22:05, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm willing to co-sponsor the article. It was Grapple X's project. As far as we could tell, the article contains everything about the project. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:13, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hawkeye7, I'm going to remove my name and add yours, if that's okay with you. You can add your sigs once you see this. Thanks, Thanoscar21^talk_{contributions} 22:22, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't do that! I can only co-sponsor a nomination. I cannot be the sole nominator because I already have another article at FAC. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:33, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All right then, I'll just strike it out and withdraw my nomination. Thanks, Thanoscar21^talk_{contributions} 23:30, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hawkeye7, maybe you can work out a co-nom in future, or else save this one for a solo nom down the track, but will archive for now at least. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 23:40, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been withdrawn, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FAC/ar, and leave the {{featured article candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Ian Rose (talk) 23:41, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
