Thank you very much for your contribution. I have unfortunately come up against some time constraints and I don't have the resources to dedicate to another 12 or so proper article reviews. If we don't get a review in, your article will still get merged, but I'll likely only have time to look for typos and ensure formatting is mostly correct. If you know of a peer who would be willing to review your work, I'd encourage you to ask them to leave a review on this pull request. If you find yourself with any extra time, feel free to self-assign any outstanding Advent pull request(s) and leave a helpful review. The editing guidelines should be helpful in this regard. Basically the situation this year is that most articles arrived in late November/early December, meaning that there is now a bottleneck at this time of year which is busy for many of us. This is not a judgement on anyone -- all articles are welcome and I always expect some to come in later in the game. In fact, there are still more articles to come which do not yet have pull requests. In order to ensure that everyone's content gets a fair chance for review, I'm looking to cast a wider net. Hopefully spreading the effort around this way will help us continue the tradition of high value Advent articles in 2025. |

You might want to use the full expression in (roughly) formal writing, as in "it is" and so on.

I don't think the article is a formal writing.

If this is an expression, keep it that way. But if it's not, maybe you'd want to use "There are"

A native speaker needed to judge. I've read this expression somewhere (it mentioned "cars", so plural), but I have no idea how common it is.

@choroba do you know when you'll be able to look at the review comments? |
