Congratulations! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

I'll never understand how you passed over 60 GAs in two months. Congrats! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:24, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt, thank you very much, I appreciate it.

@Lee Vilenski, you did impressively as well. I don't know how anyone gets more than 3 pieces of featured content through one round, let alone 5 featured articles and 3 featured lists just in the last round. Perhaps you have some very good luck with snooker articles. Congrats for winning the second place! – Epicgenius (talk) 13:11, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Epicgenius made so many GAs because he is Epic, and a genius. Duh! And I second what was said about Lee Vilenski, who also managed a very impressive amount of quality content. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 15:46, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you today for what you did for TFA Harry F. Sinclair House, "about a historic, Gilded Age mansion in New York City built in the last three years of the 19th century by a seasoned New York architect. It's a pretty charming place, today housing a Ukrainian cultural nonprofit.", and for the continuous flow of GAs about other buildings in NYC! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:53, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda. In this case I really should be thanking Vami_IV for getting the ball rolling, since he's the guy who nominated the house for both GA and FA. I only did a little bit, but he did most of the work. I really like our collaboration on this article, though. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:28, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
