Hi Epicgenius, I see you replaced a citation at "History of modern period domes" back in 2020 with some kind of external reference. First, how did you do that?? Second, why is that preferable? AmateurEditor (talk) 19:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Hey there Epicgenius. I'm seeking urgent assist on the FA nomination of George Town, Penang. Participation has been rather minimal & in spite of the improvement I've been making, one of the mods is about to archive the nomination. Do let me know should you be keen to help. Thanks a bunch! hundenvonPG (talk) 14:28, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Curious, do you think my review here is sufficiently substantive to count? I did read through the whole article, just couldn't find many issues -- but would understand if it isn't sufficient. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:28, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Epicgenius I am interested in writing an article on both the 1, and 2 UN Plaza buildings, since I thought it wasn't written up yet — only to see that it is there, but under the Millenium Hotel's entry: Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza. Is this the proper form to title this article? Rather than "One Un Plaza?" The hotel is therefore being "advertised" as a byproduct of the article, which is not according to Wiki policies. In other words, "One Un Plaza" was built in 1976, and years later the hotel entered into the picture. I believe the title should be: One Un Plaza. Then I only need to write up 2 UN Plaza! What do you think? Cheers, Eli Bigeez (talk) 23:17, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

On 10 February 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Kips Bay Towers, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after the original developer of the Kips Bay Towers sold off the buildings in 1962, his son bought them back a decade later? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Kips Bay Towers. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Kips Bay Towers), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.
Hello again! I started a draft last year for Village Cigars. It was just announced that the business closed this month. Thriley (talk) 22:11, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Thank you today for Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower, "about a skyscraper in New York City that, until a decade ago, was the tallest in Brooklyn and the only real skyscraper in its neighborhood. The exterior has extensive amounts of sculpture, an enormous clock tower, and a dome (leading some to compare it to a phallus), while the interior has an extremely elaborate banking room. Developed as an office building, the tower later housed dozens of dentists' offices before being converted to residences." - I remember a singer's 80th birthday today ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I posed this question to Gog the Mild first, but since you are one of the judges for the WikiCup, I'm pretty sure you're more than familiar enough with the things I have questions about. I started Free and Candid Disquisitions last month with an eye towards putting it up as a FAC sometime this monthish. It passed something of an easy GAR, which leaves me with a couple questions: since I'm new to FAC, should I try my hand first at reviewing a couple FACs (or FA-minded peer reviews) before nominating my own work? Additionally, should I request a peer review before putting Free and Candid Disquisitions up as a FAC? Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:54, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
since I'm new to FAC, should I try my hand first at reviewing a couple FACs (or FA-minded peer reviews) before nominating my own work?- yes, that would be a good idea. It's good to keep in mind that not all FACs may be up to FAC standard, so if you do decide to go this route, you could check to see if the nomination is by a prolific FAC nominator and review their work accordingly. Another tactic I use is to look at similar FAs. For instance, since this is an article on a book, I would look at some of these WikiProject Books FAs. It is advisable to look to more recent FAs for inspiration (so to speak), since older FAs might not be up to standards.
Additionally, should I request a peer review before putting Free and Candid Disquisitions up as a FAC?- that is also a good idea. PR and/or a third-party copyedit would be advisable.
I just found out about this page that shows the most-thanked Wikipedians. You are ranked 7th with 8,450 thanks. I am responsible for 5,453 of those, or 64.5%, lol. Keep up the great work. Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 04:44, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
