Peer Review nomination

Hi @HAL333: Would you be interested in co-nominating this article with me for WP:Peer Review? I'm hoping to take it through a lengthy Peer Review process on the long, winding road to a possible FAC submission. — Flask (talk) 01:40, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Flask I would be happy to - glad to see that someone else has taken interest in this article. ~ HAL333 23:47, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HAL333: Great! I'll likely submit it later this weekend or early next week, and I shall list you as co-nominator. — Flask (talk) 06:17, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HAL333: Article has been submitted for Peer Review: Wikipedia: Peer review/F. Scott Fitzgerald/archive1 — Flask (talk) 17:08, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Flask and HAL333: now that the article has a balanced and comprehensive section on the works themselves (the absence of which, as I understand it, causes the previous FAC's archival), do you two have any plans to renominate it? I would highly encourage it... Aza24 (talk) 19:49, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aza24: I still plan to revise the article in the coming months before renomination. I'm in the middle of a very intensive program in RL, but I should have more time to do the necessary revisions in the coming weeks. One of the criticisms mentioned in the previous nomination was a lack of thematic cohesion which I plan to address with several rewrites. — Flask (talk) 19:54, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's so great to hear Flask. I hope my comment doesn't come off as rushing you, I was just curious so figured I'd check in. Aza24 (talk) 19:57, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
