Albert Wesker

Not sure if this views is guarantee [1]. But, me and StarScream1007 helped this article turned into GA. 🥒Greenish Pickle!🥒 (🔔) 03:57, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

 No action: Primary authors of article. Greenish Pickle replied to GA reviewer and made most changes, with StarScream1007 also contributing article edits during the review process. No Main Page appearances detected. However, I'm only seeing 218k pageviews in the 365 days before promotion. That's the period I take for pageviews, and it misses that high block from mid-March to mid-April 2023 coinciding with the release of Resident Evil 4. Sorry. I've also missed out due to wait times on GA reviews. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Feel free to seek another opinion. Reidgreg (talk) 17:13, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

I searched for a mention of this article in the archives but I couldn't find any which is surprising.

My participation here

I believe in recognizing quality improvements to the most-read articles in this little corner of Wikipedia. However, I feel that this is becoming more difficult and demanding than it has to be. So I am going to step back a bit and will no longer respond to a request if another editor has already responded to it. I'd also appreciate not being pinged here for simple non-urgent requests. Thanks. – Reidgreg (talk) 04:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
