Incomplete "Good article reassessment" process at Stereotype threat
Hello, looking over the talk page at Talk:Stereotype threat, I see that you were the reviewer who cleared the article for good article status way back in 2011. Since then the article has grown quite a bit, as have the number of studies and meta-analyses on the topic. Recently a content dispute has arisen between myself and another user over a number of issues. Of particular interest to you may be the fact that this user placed a "Good article reassessment" tag at the head of the article but doesn't appear to have followed the subsequent steps required per Wikipedia:Good_article_reassessment. One of those steps is to "Notify major contributing editors, relevant WikiProjects for the article, the nominator and the reviewer" so I thought I might notify you in their place and see if you had any guidance to offer regarding the tag (as an involved editor I don't think it would be proper for me to remove it) –– and possibly on the current state of the article generally. Thanks! Generalrelative (talk) 00:24, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- FYI, this issue has been resolved. Generalrelative (talk) 21:12, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Generalrelative: Thanks very much for notifying me about this. Apologies that I didn't get to look at it. MartinPoulter (talk) 20:30, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

DYK for Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles
On 31 August 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Khalili Collection of Swedish Textiles), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.
