• Meets all criteria. Looks good.-Esprit15d • talk • contribs 15:57, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't provided a QPQ yet - Dumelow (talk) 16:25, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that is mandatory to be approved, just strongly encouraged, except in the case were someone has nominated 5 hooks.–Esprit15d • talk • contribs 16:45, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HiEsprit15d, the rules require that for "every nomination you make you must review one other nomination". I've now completed a QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/Pacific Salmon War, if you'd like to review this - Dumelow (talk) 18:00, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Esprit15d, please be specific about the individual criteria that you checked in your new review, given that your "meets all criteria" was not correct. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:19, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
