@ Davidbena: I don't think you are supposed to review your own nominations. Maybe withdraw the nomination and start again, see WP:GAN/I#N3. This also applies to all the other self-reviews you started today. If you are unsure, you could ask at Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations. The instructions for starting a nomination are found at WP:GAN/I#N1. Phlsph7 ( talk) 09:34, 30 November 2022 (UTC) reply

My understanding is that I'm not allowed to comment (review) an article that I submitted for nomination. Can you please show me where I have done something amiss by only saving a page for the review process? If I am in error, I will definitely correct my mistake and withdraw the nomination. Please explain. Davidbena ( talk) 16:31, 30 November 2022 (UTC) reply

By clicking on the button "start review", you automatically become the reviewer. On this page, just below the headline "GA Review", it says "Reviewer: Davidbena". As the nominator, you are supposed to wait till someone else clicks that button to review the article. Once this has happened, you are free to comment the review but the decision of whether to promote the article belongs to the reviewer. Phlsph7 ( talk) 16:40, 30 November 2022 (UTC) reply

The instructions given for nominating an article for "Good Article status" state explicitly that after submitting a request for review, the submitter must save the submission. See, for example, this here. How then was I supposed to "save" the nomination? After you have explained this to me, and I have realized that I have erred, I will remove the "GA nominee" template from the article talk page. Davidbena ( talk) 01:06, 1 December 2022 (UTC) reply

For Your Information: I have resubmitted the nomination, without clicking onto the review. Davidbena ( talk) 01:30, 1 December 2022 (UTC) reply
