Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Mom & Me & Mom to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon, please nominate it at the requests page; if you'd like to see an FA on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with 1,301 articles in Category:Featured articles that have not appeared on the main page at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be).
You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. BencherliteTalk 09:14, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

I award you this barnstar for your work to train Good Article reviewers, and for your work reviewing Vaillancourt Fountain. Thank you. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 01:54, 7 May 2014 (UTC) |
The WP:FAC admin has commented at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Orel Hershiser's scoreless innings streak/archive1 that you need to say whether you think you can provide commentary in short order.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 12:40, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey Figureskatingfan! Just for laughs, do you mind dropping a barnstar on my talk page for me finishing my GA recruitment? :P WooHoo! • Talk to me! 01:05, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Good to see them at GAN, I hope it gets through.
Note: if they've reformed/about to do so then the info box photo is no longer current and may require work on its NFUR.
I've had a quick glance at the article and note that Finch/Contraband ref is no longer Australian Rock Database (albeit still linked to that article) but rather the Australian Music Database, which may not be as reliable. The latter site seems similar to Discogs: anyone with an email can contribute.
In any case, have fun and all the best.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:31, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Incredible! Well done. :) --Another Believer (Talk) 02:33, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

The Writer's Barnstar | ||
For spending such a tremendous amount of time and work bringing the suite of Maya Angelou articles to FA. Your hard work and effort meant that during these days after her death, when the pages had very high page views, Wikipedia presented nicely polished articles to the world. Well done! You deserve to be proud of yourself. Victoria (tk) 19:01, 30 May 2014 (UTC) |
The Editor's Barnstar | |
I know how hard you worked on Maya Angelou's pages and you deserve to be very proud of your excellent articles. What a great tribute to Angelou to have such well written articles to present to our readers at this time! . Gandydancer (talk) 00:24, 31 May 2014 (UTC) |
I'm taking this space here to thank those of you who expressed their condolences after the death of Maya Angelou this week, and for your kind words and barnstars, especially User:Another Believer, User:Scartol, User:Dr. Blofeld, User:Hawkeye7, User:Victoriaearle, and User:Gandydancer. In many ways, this has been a difficult week, and with all the editors who have made my life difficult, I appreciate your assistance and good thoughts. As I tell Scartol above, I'm honored to have contributed to Dr. Angelou's articles. It was a humbling and frightening experience to look at the view counts the few days after she died. I can't tell you how grateful I was that these articles were "up to snuff", and I'm grateful for the many fellow editors and reviewers who helped them get that way. I'm proud that our community was ready when so much of the world came here for solid, well-researched information about Dr. Angelou, and that we were able to honor her in this way. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:08, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
Was eyeing over the list to figure out how much I need to catch up this month after the burnout I had in May over that stupid attack on FPs.

So, what awesome FAs are you hiding from us all? =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 06:10, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 4, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs). You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 4, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes, published in 1986, is the fifth book in African-American writer and poet Maya Angelou's seven-volume autobiography series. Set between 1962 and 1965 and taking its title from a Negro spiritual, the book begins when Angelou is thirty-three years old, and recounts her time in Accra, Ghana. It starts where her previous book, The Heart of a Woman, ends, with the traumatic car accident involving her son Guy, and ends as she returns to America. Angelou (pictured in 2013) upholds the long tradition of African-American autobiography, and at the same time makes a deliberate attempt to challenge the usual structure of the autobiography by critiquing, changing, and expanding the genre. As in her previous books, it consists of a series of anecdotes connected by theme. She depicts her struggle with being the mother of a grown son, and with her place in her new home. Angelou examines many of the same subjects and themes of her previous autobiographies, including motherhood, the parallels and connections between the African and American parts of her history and character, and racism. (Full article...)
Part of the Maya Angelou autobiographies series, one of Wikipedia's featured topics.
You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently. Nominators no longer need to calculate how many "points" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions.

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C, Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.
The round saw this year's first featured portal, with Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to 12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of Sven Manguard (submissions).
The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

As you may know, I write for the Signpost, basically Wikipedia's newsletter. I'd like to do a feature on the semifinalists, would you be willing to provide, say, 250 to 500 words saying: (1.) Why did you join the Wikicup? (2.) What you you hope to get out of it? and (3.) Which of your contributions to the Wikicup are your favourites?
Not quite sure how I'll order them - I'll probably make the ed17 decide, as, you know, Conflict of Interest: I am a semifinalist. I'd imagine point order or alphabetical or the like.
Can you please reply at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-07-30/Wikicup#Figureskatingfan? Thanks! Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:24, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

I figured that you would be a good person to ask about this. From the beginning, the citations on List of Sesame Street Muppets, and others like it, are shown as: "Finch, p. 53", "Davis, p. 5", "Morrow, p. 93", etc. What is that supposed to mean? It doesn't say it's a book and there certainly isn't a link for verification. I find it hard to believe that this is an acceptable way citing a source.

Hi there,
Someone that I closely work with reviewing film related lists has asked me if could proofread Kangana Ranaut for featured list promotion. I have never reviewed an article for FA promotion, but I'm willing to give it a shot since I too want to learn the dos and dont's of improving article to such status (I hope to do the same for 2010 NBA Finals). What suggestions do you have for FA reviewing since I admire your great work with Sesame Street articles and lists?

Thank you for your quality work on Maya Angelou, her background, her works, the themes in her autobiographies, "The woman who survives intact and happy must be at once tender and tough." - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hi there. Remember me?
I asked for your help 4 years ago. I've been very busy for the last few years that's why I stopped editing and using my account here, but now I'm back and I just graduated last year.
It's nice to see that you've successfully passed Maya Angelou and your other works to higher level class article. I'm happy for you. I hope we can be friends again and maybe I can ask you for help if you have time since I'm not that familiar with the new editing tools here and I can't remember how I started before. If you can't remember me, you can check my talk page our discussion was still there.

I am very sorry for not explaining the reasoning behind the edits I made to Blue's Clues - I did have reasons, though. They were that the picture did not fit the area it was placed in, and the second edit (on the spin-off) was because of how the character of Joe did not appear until season 2 of Blue's Room and therefore was not the star of the show.

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

The final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:
We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. Matty.007 (submissions), ThaddeusB (submissions), WikiRedactor (submissions), Figureskatingfan (submissions), Yellow Evan (submissions), Prism (submissions) and Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.
There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.
There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

This is what you said on Flyer22's talk page responding to my strawberries post:
"<sarcasm> No, you're not being creepy at all. This is the second time today that I've warned someone for coming close to inappropriate behavior. Ask yourself: would you do this to a male editor? If the answer is no, then yes you're being creepy and need to watch yourself. I haven't looked at your edit history, but I would suspect that this isn't unusual."
What is wrong with you? You are the second person accusing me of something that is 100% nonsense, Flyer22 happens to be the second. My bowl of strawberries thing was a joke because as it said I saw she edits sex related things a lot. I actualy was not being creepy that was the joke. Nothing at all to do with the fact I am dude she's a gal. NOTHING. Yes I would do that to a male. When sending that wikilove no "she's a girl and I am a guy" thoughts were in my head. I need to watch nothing I have not done anything wrong. If you had looked at my edit history perhaps you wouldn't be throwing around acusations. How would you react if I called you a racial slur or something? I'm not like that. Clearly not everyone is as nice here on wikipedia as I thought. I hope you've realised your mistake and are willing to admit it. --DangerousJXD (talk) 22:34, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to our mailing list.

... to make up for Ike Altgens?
If so: either User:Spshu misunderstands the application of notability guidelines, or I do. Please have a look at Indie Rights, its talk page and Spshu's talk page and weigh in.

What did I do wrong in my review? I don't mind criticism or anything like that, I just want to know what I missed. Thanks, --¿3family6 contribs 03:51, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
When I found that someone had started the recurring sketches of Sesame Street page, I had to add the link under it's production like there is a section for the recurring sketches on The Muppet Show page. I have done some works on there like how recent Letter or Number of the Day handlings are held and Murray Monster doing his rendition for the "Sesame Street News Flash" in Season 45 (which is this current season). As there are some segments missing on that page, we might have to modify it by looking up the remaining segments before the newer segments appear. Did I leave anything out of that? Outside of that, it has come to my attention that the one-shot Anything Muppet characters have started appearing on the List of Sesame Street Muppets page alongside those Anything Muppets that had lesser appearances ever since the Anything Muppets page was deleted. Someone thought that the page in question might be the place for them. I was also wondering if you have seen the latest episodes of Season 45 yet. --Rtkat3 (talk) 21:05, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
The article Plaza Sésamo you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Plaza Sésamo for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Hi Christine,
I know it's been a while, but congratulations on getting the Sesame Street international co-productions article up to featured status! I remember you telling me a couple of years ago that you were planning on getting that one featured. I was wondering if you had time to do some cleanup of the List of human Sesame Street characters article. I'd like to nominate it for a TFL slot, but the nomination won't pass if the maintenance tag stays in place. I don't know where to find the relevant sources, but I figure you might. If you'd be willing to clear up the sourcing concerns, it would be greatly appreciated.
