Hey @Oganguly,

I am willing to do the task you have job you have requested here. Is it still available?

Thanks Bunnypranav (talk) 13:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bunnypranav Hey there. Yes, the page is totally free. Let me know if you have any questions! Ornov Ganguly TALK 14:17, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great, I am ready to do the job, any specific instructions for the comments to be given to you, and where can I send them to you? Also what mistakes should I immediately correct?

Thanks Bunnypranav (talk) 16:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best practise to leave all comments (meaning stuff along the lines of "This section is hard to understand/seems poorly explained/needs more citations/etc.") on the Allbirds talk page.

My pressing concern is about the public reception section. If it looks fine/not under- or over-detailed, let me know. Immediate corrections would be for citation errors (dead links and missing information) and typos. Ornov Ganguly TALK 16:44, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks! Will try to do the review in a week or two, it is fine right? Bunnypranav (talk) 06:43, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bunnypranav Yes, perfectly fine Ornov Ganguly TALK 10:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bunnypranav, just checking in two weeks later. Do you still want this task? No pressure one way or another. Ornov Ganguly TALK 14:23, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay, it might take some time due to some personal work Bunnypranav (talk) 14:26, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All fine. Just so you know, I do plan on putting this out for GA nomination by October though. That's not a deadline for you, because it would probably take months to clear there anyway, but just a statement of plans. Ornov Ganguly TALK 14:28, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When in October, if you have any specific range of time. Bunnypranav (talk) 14:41, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 1st, ideally. If not then, then certainly by October 4th which is the Friday of that week. Ornov Ganguly TALK 14:45, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Will try to complete at least a partial work by then. Thanks for the patience Bunnypranav (talk) 14:46, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Oganguly, I have started a review in my user space at User:Bunnypranav/Allbirds CE Review, Please see if it matches what you want. I will post the final version in the talk page, but this is just a draft for my records. Bunnypranav (talk) 14:54, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. What you have there is good. I want to know which sentences are too dense or have strange wording. Hope to see the full review soon. Ornov Ganguly TALK 00:00, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, will try prepare the full thing by Oct 1st Bunnypranav (talk) 04:09, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Oganguly,

The final version is done, please go through it and tell if any changes or corrections are needed. I am ready to post it on the Allbirds talk page. Bunnypranav (talk) 05:54, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the in-depth work. You've really gone into the weeds. Go ahead and post it to the Allbirds page. I'll get started on it right away. Ornov Ganguly TALK 14:02, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and welcome! Bunnypranav (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Oganguly, no pressure, but awaiting the CE Barnstar you promised at Wikipedia:Reward board.

Thanks! Bunnypranav (talk) 16:47, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also cleaned up the article using AWB while browsing through my watchlist, hope it helps. Bunnypranav (talk) 12:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay with the Barnstar. I've had a hectic week irl and it slipped my mind. Thank you so much again for your help with the article. Ornov Ganguly TALK 14:54, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem, thanks again Bunnypranav (talk) 20:34, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I was thinking of making a day late nomination of Musa al-Gharbi for DYK sometime later tonight when I have the time. Please feel free to work on it. Maybe you have some hook ideas? Thriley (talk) 22:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thriley. I have a few suggestions, but I have no experience with DYKs yet. I just think that we'd veer too closely towards promotion by talking about his recent life.

• Did you know ...that in 2014, a then University of Arizona instructor Musa al-Gharbi was rejected from the school's PhD program due to a Twitter dispute regarding an article he wrote, calling the United States "a greater threat to peace and stability in the Middle East than ISIS"?

It needs to be cut down, but I don't really know that this deserves DYK. Ornov Ganguly TALK 00:36, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
