Hi Vanamonde93. I see that you put in a lot of work on the Miriam Makeba article – and are possibly (co)-responsible for its featured article status – so I have a feeling that you will be able to settle this query. At Louis Armstrong, the nicknames are in inverted commas. whereas here Mama Africa is not. Any idea which one is correct? Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 09:27, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
Thank you so much for sorting that out! I was worried that I was going to explode with outrage, which could have been messy. Cheers 82.34.153.236 (talk) 19:10, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Vanamonde93, we have a bit of a situation at Talk:Time in J. R. R. Tolkien's fiction. Rather than try to explain it here, which would seem like trying to get you on my side, I'd be glad if you could take a look at the article and talk page, and see if we can find a resolution? Obviously I'll answer any questions you may have. Many thanks, Chiswick Chap (talk) 05:04, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello Vanamonde93:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hello Vanamonde93 I try to add new data to Otto Reich's entry, but I see how constant they are reverted, if I even finish the edition. Not even verified information such as his date of birth is accepted. Can you help or advise me on how I should publish this data? Sincerely Jmh58 (talk) 05:22, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've Talk:The Day Before the Revolution/GA1begun reviewing the article The Day Before the Revolution you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

Re this edit; the problem is that the bulk of the site is generated once a quarter from an underlying database, and the generated URLS are constructed with sequential page numbers. That means that when material is added to the database, the next regeneration will slide all the contents down from a URL with an embedded sequence of, say, 970, to 971 or higher. Because of this I always add an archive link when citing Galactic Central and put a status of "dead" in for the main URL, even though it's live at the time I cite it, because otherwise someone may come along and put in "live" since it appears to be live.
Phil Stephensen-Payne, who runs the site, has set up a way to do persistent links; see here. The only time I tried this it didn't work, but it would be a better option. If you try it and it works for you, let me know. And yes, access to old reviews is going to be very helpful; I'm looking forward to seeing what other articles can make use of them. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 20:26, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
The article The Day Before the Revolution you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:The Day Before the Revolution for comments about the article, and Talk:The Day Before the Revolution/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

I think your close was rather poor considering I wasn’t asking for sanctions or claiming complete innocence, but requesting an interaction ban. I know I haven’t been particularly nice interacting with Schrocat but they just called me stupid three times in a row. What am I supposed to do? I can’t just avoid them since we edit in and strongly disagree on the same topic area. Dronebogus (talk) 20:22, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hello, colleague. I don’t know who I can ask, so I’ll ask you. Perhaps you can tell me who I can contact.
I have a question. I've been told that Wikipedia can give editors access to protected academic journal articles. How can I access, for example, this article - https://brill.com/view/journals/ic/26/4/article-p407_7.xml?
I will be very grateful for your answer. With respect. Smpad (talk) 14:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Hey, Sohom here, I'm planning to take Cross-site leaks (it's a niche security exploit) to FAC in the near future (early next year, RL willing ). I saw your name on the FA mentoring list and was wondering if you would be willing to provide some feedback on the article wrt to it's current state, and what I can/could improve on to get it to a FA status. (I'm pretty sure one of your suggestions will be to improve the prose quality and wrt to that, I have already requested a copyedit at WP:GOCE/R)Sohom (talk) 15:45, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
Hello! You were the closing admin at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iranian Democracy Movement. I'm wondering if you would be able to provide a copy of it as a draft article? I think it's an interesting topic that deserves an article (perhaps as "Democracy movements in Iran" or some other variation rather than referring to it as one movement. Either way, I'd love to review what was deleted. Thmymerc (talk) 18:22, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

On 30 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Day Before the Revolution, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Ursula K. Le Guin's short story "The Day Before the Revolution", which won Nebula and Locus Awards in 1975, was praised for its depiction of a "revolutionary icon as a curmudgeonly old woman"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Day Before the Revolution. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Day Before the Revolution), 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.

The following editors have applied for the CheckUser permission and have subsequently been reviewed and vetted by the functionary team, and the community is invited to comment on the associated consultation pages:
The community consultations will remain open through 11 December 2023.

Hi Vanamonde93. Hope you are doing fine. I know there is a lot of backlog in SPI cases but I'd like to kindly request your attention to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pirjhando. The user SaneFlint has denied having a COI with an article currently under AfD. There are numerous sources in their first language that seem to rely solely on their input/word, without any additional confirmation. Outcome of this SPI may change the credibility of their input if a COI is found. Jeraxmoira (talk) 15:30, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
