Final comments and verdict[edit]

  •  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; that went very fast! --K. Peake 21:38, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have one question: why should New York City be accompanied by its abbreviation? Bronx Langford (talk) 18:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello sorry for the late reply - I forgot to note that while it should have its abbreviation on the first instance, then stylize it as NYC only on the second instance for better flow. K. Peake 20:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright. Other than that, is everything good? Bronx Langford (talk) 22:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Bronx Langford It is quite moderate, but the Copyvio score is still above 40% so please cut down quoting. --K. Peake 16:37, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've cut down as much quoting as I can. Is the Copyvio score acceptable now? Bronx Langford (talk) 20:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
