Putting on hold to allow nominator to address comments. Feel free to ping me with questions, and let me know when you're finished! — Ghost River 00:46, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GhostRiver: thanks so much for the speedy review! I think I got it all :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 01:14, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making those changes on your end! I made one small change per MOS:NUMERAL, which specifies that numbers should not be mixed numeric/spelled out in the same sentence, and I think this looks good to go! — Ghost River 16:03, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@GhostRiver: awesome! thank you so much again! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 16:14, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

to FA[edit]

The main prohibitor on FA status is the lack of information about the plant's own operations. If reliable sources could note how many people the plant employs and serves, how it's constructed, and other notes about daily operation, it'd have a much better shot at FA. Right now, it leans too heavily on public image and controversy surrounding the plant (i.e. John Oliver), which is due weight, but it doesn't pass muster on a comprehensiveness requirement. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:36, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
