Copyright contributor investigation and Good article reassessment

This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements. Questions or comments can be made at the project talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

REFUND

Explicit as this article has been recreated post-WP:DCGAR, might you please refund here the old talk page so that Mike Christie's data and recordkeeping on GAs can be retained? We caught most of them in advance with a G8-exempt, but somehow missed this one. Thanks in advance, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:30, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
