I'm unsure if I am meant to reply at the GA nom talk page, so I'll leave this here and can move it over if needed.

Thank you so much for the review and the detailed advice, especially the mentions of individual citation numbers, which was very helpful when I was making changes. I have rectified all the issues mentioned & taken your advice by:

• replacing sources when needed to match quotes (I believe I copy and pasted the wrong link when writing about ACLU)
• rewriting a number of sentences that were too similar to the phrasing used in the sources
• adding an Analysis of Results section with an additional comparison map between Trump's 2024 performance and the results
• adding an Aftermath/Reactions section
• significantly expanding the Election Logistics section and the Chester County provisional ballots section

Do I need to resubmit the article for GA or will you just re-review in due time? Best, aesurias (talk) 08:09, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Obergefell v. Hodges, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

@Delcoan, I know you said you were going to review my article, Hotel Zone, but I responded to your corrections, and whenever you get a chance, I was wondering if you could review the article again. DCAllStar (talk) 01:43, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey! Of course- I will do another source spot check tomorrow morning. Delcoan (talk) 02:59, 20 January 2026 (UTC)

Just letting you know that your page, 2026 Virginia Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment, has been selected by a student editor for a course. Please keep an eye on any additions to the page and be super mindful that they are not aware of Wikipedia's rules or manual of style (I have already had to revert a large edit to the lede paragraph).

Have a good day! aesurias (ping me in your reply, or I won't see it) (talk) 23:29, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

@Aesurias: Thank you for letting me know. Delcoan (talk) 01:16, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

There is now, incredibly, a second student editor working on it. aesurias (ping me in your reply, or I won't see it) (talk) 04:09, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

@Aesurias: Wow! Guess it’s a popular article, lol.

Anyway, thanks for reverting those edits again. I’ll try to keep an eye on it as well. Delcoan (talk) 04:12, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Have you considered "that a 1998 referendum to repeal South Carolina's unenforceable interracial marriage ban was opposed by 38% of voters?" for this? I think it flows much better than "38% opposition". "by almost 40% of voters?" may also work if it isn't too lengthy. aesurias (ping me in your reply, or I won't see it) (talk) 10:54, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

@Aesurias: Oh, yeah, that actually makes more sense. I’ll propose that in the nomination. Delcoan (talk) 04:13, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
