Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kaulsdorf (Saale), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wettin.

Your GA nomination of The Mollusk

edit

  Hi! I noticed that you nominated the article The Mollusk for Good article status. You do not appear to have made significant edits to the article prior to this, and there is no discussion about nominating the article on its talk page. Current practice is that only editors who have significantly contributed to the article are able to nominate it (see the nomination instructions). I have consequently removed the nomination for now. Consider discussing whether the article is ready to be nominated with the article's principal editors on the talk page. Thank you. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 03:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

On 1 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Work for Curaçao, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a Work for Curaçao candidate in the 2021 Curaçao general election received 427 votes despite being dead? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Work for Curaçao. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Work for Curaçao), 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.

GA mentorship

edit

All right, I've picked out a few nominations you might be interested in reviewing. They should all be relatively easy ones. Biographies are fairly straightfoward, so there are some politician biographies:

Or if you want something else in the topic area, you could review:

If one of these catches your eye, you can just open up the article's talk page, click the "start review" link, and save the page that it loads. Then we can work on what specifically you're looking for in a review. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 02:04, 5 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! I've started a review for Gerald Willis (politician). -Samoht27 (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Great! A few things to make sure you check for on each point based on the good article criteria:
  • Well-written: In addition to being easy to read without any grammar errors, make sure it complies with the relevant manual of style pages: check the lead, check the layout, and make sure it doesn't use any of the types of phrases listed under words to watch. You don't have to worry GA's fiction or list criteria since this article doesn't have either of those.
  • Verifiable: This is an important point—open up the sources and look at some of them. You're checking to make sure that they actually support the things that they're citing, and that the article doesn't just copy and paste the text from the sources (which would be plagiarism). You only need to check a few at random to make sure there aren't any pervasive issues, but it's good practice to list the ones you checked.
    • I also took the liberty of running the article through WP:EARWIG, which isn't a substitute for checking sources, but it can catch some plagiarism automatically. The article passed with no issues.
  • Broad coverage: This one is pretty easy with biographies. There aren't usually issues as long as it covers what the person actually did and there's no big gap in the person's life.
  • Neutral: This one is a little more subjective. Just make sure it hits all of the points listed at WP:NPOV. No opinions presented as facts, no issues with positive or negative tone, etc.
  • Stable: All you have to do is make sure there haven't been any arguments or edit wars lately (and I looked, there haven't been).
  • Illustrated: There's nothing weird going on with images here, so just make sure the image can actually be used as far as copyright goes. I'm not convinced that it's "without a copyright notice" if it was published in a newspaper, but copyright is complicated and more context might be needed to know for sure.
Once you're totally finished with the review, ping me so I can look over it once more. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm finished with the review. -Samoht27 (talk) 16:26, 10 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
All right, if the nominator has fixed everything that might be keeping it from being a GA, then the last step is to mark it as a good article. There's a whole manual process listed at the good article instructions, but there's a script at User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/GANReviewTool that can do the whole thing for you.

DCWC closing update

edit

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points,     Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions;     BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months,     Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three,   BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)!   Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

Hi there, can you explain your decline on this one? This doesn't look too egregiously peacocky to me, and things that can be fixed through "normal editing" should generally be ignored when it comes to declining drafts. -- asilvering (talk) 17:02, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wording like "are tailored for", "supports", and "progress through a structured, milestone-based curriculum" felt somewhat WP:NPOV violating in my eyes. -Samoht27 (talk) 17:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I agree. But those are comparatively minor. If it's the sort of thing you could fix in a minute or two, it's best not to decline. You can fix it yourself and accept, if it's otherwise ok, or you can leave a comment asking the submitter to take another look at it themselves. If you think the topic isn't notable and it has minor tone problems, by all means go ahead and decline for both WP:N and WP:NPOV together. Most non-npov drafts are going to be like that. But declining just for mild npov problems is really harsh. -- asilvering (talk) 20:35, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
