I've been going over the first three years of entries at WP:ORCP to see if there's anyone interested in RfA that got left out. I think there's only a handful of hopefuls that haven't already had a successful nomination, and you're one of them. The mix of content / AIV / bot work is a good mix of skills for the old mop and bucket, and under normal circumstances, I'd expect a good pass. The elephant in the room is, of course, your block log - one of them was acknowledged as a mistake, the other (which I placed) is ancient history, water under the bridge, rookie mistake that has been learned from etc etc. I'm not sure how I can deal with that, other than hope it's not an issue for other people either. Any thoughts from you (or your talk page stalkers) would be welcome.

@Ritchie333: I can't say that I haven't thought of the concept of going through RfA once. If I do it, I'd rather it be a 1-and-done, but at least in my opinion there's quite a few reasons to oppose, such as my recent activity, the whole mess with the unblock in July, and that I haven't contributed heavily to any FA. From what I've seen the whole process and questions are pretty difficult. There's currently two articles waiting a for a GA review and a bot task I'm currently working on. Once those are done, I'll shoot you an email about my thoughts of doing/not doing an RfA.

I could always try an olympics GA review if you'd like, though I suspect Courcelles would be a more experienced editor to give it a go. FAs are not mandatory for RfA; they can't be as I've never had a successful one yet, though I do have 130+ GAs as a consolation. Following that, yeah shoot me an email and I'll do a thorough appraisal.

The article Nauru at the 2016 Summer Olympics you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Nauru at the 2016 Summer Olympics for issues which need to be addressed.

The article Nauru at the 2016 Summer Olympics you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Nauru at the 2016 Summer Olympics for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Bot uses standard Pillow. As long as the resolution gets smaller, I'd say it's fine.
