Hello Lee, happy "time of the year" to you, and I hope you're well. There's (yet) another discussion over Wikicup and FAC going on at the above, and one of your review comments has been brought up as an example. I don't believe you've been pinged and I think the ping I added probably won't work, so I thought I'd just let you know, so that you can correct any fallacious assertions being made about you or your approach or (once again) the Wikicup in general. Cheers, take care. The Rambling Man ( Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:50, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Hi Lee, that "discussion" has at last been closed down. I can't imagine it will be the last time it's brought up and I just hope next time the picture is painted fairly. I'm sorry that you were falsely accused of demanding a review before you would give one, it just shows how out of touch some people are. My advice, for what it's worth, just drop the phrase QPQ as that seems to have been the touch point for some people. Otherwise, good luck with your nominations, I look forward to reviewing them (with absolutely NO requirement for you to review mine, unless you feel like it!!) Cheers, and happy new year.

Hello:
The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article Marco Fu has been completed.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I wouldn't have described it as "poorly worded". I did try to vary repetitive phrasing and added a couple of clarifications. I was also able to fix the broken citation.

Hi there, Lee Vilenski,
First, I appreciate your comments on the Dimple Kapadia FAC. I think I've addressed all of them now, but it looks like you were midway through the reviewing process and probably got busy doing things. I thought I'd remind you of the FAC anyway. If you are, indeed, kept occupied with other activities and not currently available to continue your review, I'll understand. Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 13:50, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey Lee, how's it going? I noticed you put the Snooker article up for peer review. I've started having a closer look at it to help get it ready for FA nom, but I'm probably not the best person to do a peer review as I'm a bit too closely involved in the snooker project. In fact, I'm not sure I know exactly what peer review means! Is it a formal review process like a GA review? Or would you expect several editors to contribute in a less formal manner? If you like, I can just carry on doing some general copyediting? I've got a bunch of questions/suggestions, which maybe could go into the review before you put it up for FA nom.

On 24 January 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2021 Masters (snooker), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Kyren Wilson set fire to his cue stick at the 2021 Masters? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2021 Masters (snooker). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, 2021 Masters (snooker)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
