Hi Cas; I hope you're well. We have a wonderful image of an endemic Australian bird at FPC, but, sadly, the article is only a few sentences long. I wonder if the topic is one of interest? If so, I'm sure an expanded article would draw a few readers if/when the image makes the main page. Josh Milburn (talk) 06:06, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Its my first DYK review so excuse me if this doesn't seem right. I personally would like to know why it was called the hanging dick which I could find from a simple google search.

Hi Cas Liber, how are you? I know that you're an administrator, and I was wondering whether you could help me with renaming an article. As you may know, Columbia Records releases a lot of Bob Dylan's old, unreleased recordings as part of what is called the Bootleg Series, the last one being The Bootleg Series Vol. 14: More Blood, More Tracks. Very recently Columbia released a box set of 1975 live recordings, and I absentmindedly assumed it was the next in the series, and created The Bootleg Series Vol. 15: The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings. It was pointed out to me that for whatever reason it was not released as part of the series; according to Dylan's official website [[1]], the album's title should be Bob Dylan – The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings. Would you possibly be able to either change the title directly of the the article I created, or else delete the article, in which case I could create a new one with the proper name. Thank you.

The third round of the 2019 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round needed to score at least 68 points, which is substantially lower than last year's 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Contestants managed 4 (5) featured articles, 4 featured lists, 18 featured pictures, 29 good articles, 50 DYK entries, 9 ITN entries, and 39 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and it is imperative to claim them in the correct round; one FA claim had to be rejected because it was incorrectly submitted (claimed in Round 3 when it qualified for Round 2), so be warned! When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I thought it best to have a case request by the community with a chance for everyone to comment. This ritual calms the wider conflict, pulls it to this page, and eventually makes the result more legitimate. When ArbCom has acted spontaneously in the past there have often been bad results.

Looks like User:Dmvradioguy has been engaged in a long-term edit war with another editor. NoahTalk 03:44, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Casliber,
There is an ongoing discussion on the biochemical properties and *tentative* medicinal value of ‘’Moringa oleifera’’, which have been extensively researched and documented; however, most such studies fall outside of the standard pharmaceutical design.
Its high and well-rounded nutritional (and purportedly medicinal) qualities , alongside its ease of growth, resistant to drought and poor soil and multipurpose uses, is discussed as the basis of its “superfood” status in the lay-press, albeit an unofficial and unscientific one. While no definitive medical claims are being made, my question is if this phenomenon can be explained within a proper, well-sourced NPOV context.
This might be a little bit out of your editing jurisdiction, but you’re the most qualified botany editor I could think of. Many thanks in advance for any input!
Auree ★★ 15:29, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
Also, if you know of any articles on medicinal plants that have passed FA review, I would much enjoy looking over those as a learning basis for my further edits to botany articles. Auree ★★ 15:32, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi Cas, thanks for expanding the Taxonomy section! This is a very important plant throughout the world for many reasons. My intentions with the article are to get it up to GA (and maybe take it to FAC one day). This will be the first time I'm dabbling outside my meteorology comfort zone, so any help from experts as yourself is welcome. Would you want to do a collab here (if there is time and interest)? I'm looking to mostly focus on the sections beyond "Taxonomy/phylogeny" and "Description"; further help with expanding just those two (or any tips on how/where to research additional sources) would be a great start.

An anonymous IP, 2600:1700:7E31:5710:2C89:9DBC:EE9F:2AC2, has been editing articles about Australian spiders, most of which are marked as in Australian English. Most changes are ok (although some are pointless, such as capitalizing the first letter in a piped wikilink, and some are against the MOS (like putting "#" before the issue number in a citation). However, they also change spellings in "-our" to "-or", e.g. "colour" to "color". I'm aware that this is perhaps not clear in Australian English, but as a Brit, I've relied on this for example.

Hey Cas. I think running an RfC was a good idea, but my sense is that things have gone beyond an RfC and without a lot of people willing to do some heavy lifting, checking diffs and sources within a structured review setting, the bickering will continue. So I've been bold and suggested it be taken to FAR. I realize Eric was blocked, and had been blocked when the rewrite began, but he should be able to participate when his block expires. As you know, stewardship is poorly understood and it's hard - especially for editors whose activity levels have decreased. My concern is setting precedent for rewriting without going through the process, which was set up specifically for these types of situations if I'm correct? Anyway, sorry, brevity isn't my forte, but wanted to let you know what I was thinking. Best, Victoria (tk) 02:10, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
Cas, I see that SchroCat initiated the nom, [2], which is good. Can the coords take over the notifications (relevant Wikiprojects per the talk page banners, Eric, PoD, top 10 contributors, etc)? Or Schro, or EEng, since he's challenging the text? I'm not capable of editing today, so can't help. Victoria (tk) 14:43, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
Vanamonde93, Casliber: The trouble is, no consensus for what? As far as I'm concerned, no consensus means no consensus to revert the article to two months ago i.e. no consensus to let this stand edit [3], which sent the article back to June 26 by unilaterally tossing out 200+ edits by ten editors. The edit summary for that edit cited "BRD", but if that made sense then you could arbitrarily send any article back any amount of time by claiming that everything in between "lacks consensus", no matter how long it's been there, how many editors participated, and how friendly the editing involved, just so long as there wasn't an explicity pow-wow somewhere putting an explicit imprimatur on everyone's edits. Therefore, I submit, the edit I just linked was the bold edit, its proponents bore the burden of justifying it, and no consensus means they failed to do that. And that's before you consider that their primary not-really-an-argument argument ("The June 26 version is a high-quality FA version") has now been exposed as complete nonsense.
Certainly the closing logic cannot passively be that there's no consensus so therefore the article stays in the WRONGVERSION it accidentally happened to be in when protection was applied.
Though if truth be told it was no accident. When protection was first applied, the article was in the current version all editors had been working on up to that very day. Then three editors swooped in at the protecting admin's talk page and pressured him into reverting the article -- still under the protection that admin had imposed -- to June 26; the admin's comment was "I relent" [4]. And that's why it "just so happened" to be in the June 26 version when the RfC started. Truly an extraordinary sequence of events.
Combine all this with the fact that the three major proponents of reverting to June 26 have all declared that they no longer care, have unwatched, don't give a shit, won't participate, and so on ([5][6][7]) and the conclusion as to how to close the RfC becomes inescapable.

Cas Liber, there has been a response to your DYK review here, including the suggestion of an ALT hook. Please stop by at your earliest convenience to resume your review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 21:02, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
The article Western yellow robin you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Western yellow robin 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.

The fourth round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 454 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants with over 400 points being eliminated, and all but two of the finalists having achieved an FA during the round. Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year. But all those points are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 11 featured articles. In addition, Adam Cuerden scored with 18 FPs, Lee Vilenski led the GA score with 8 GAs while Kosack performed 15 GA reviews. There were around 40 DYKs, 40 GARs and 31 GAs overall during round 4. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.
As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).
If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). 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. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi Casliber how are you? Thanks again for all your help with this article. I was hoping you might consider reviewing this again per FA criteria. Thanks :) --[E.3][chat2][me] 06:42, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
Coming soon to a TFA near you! "red lantern banksia" gets 600 ghits (verbatim); "Caley's banksia" gets 1400. I can only use one in a TFA blurb. Do you have a preference? - Dank (push to talk) 16:42, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

This is to let you know that the Yellow-faced honeyeater article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 8, 2019. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 8, 2019, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
We also suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors up to the day of this TFA. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:24, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

On 18 September 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hydnellum scabrosum, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the cut flesh of the bitter tooth mushroom smells of watermelon? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hydnellum scabrosum. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, ), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

Cas, could you please look at my comment at User talk:Vanamonde93#Ursula le Guin? Any chance that yu could perhaps fix the issue in the FAC yourself to speed things up. I'd really like to run this at TFA on her 90th, but as you will see, times getting short. Cheers, Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:18, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi Cas, related to your above, can you elucidate more on how you apply for WMF grants for contest prizes? This is something I was unaware of. While it's probably too late to do for an upcoming contest, it would be good to know for the future. Enwebb (talk) 14:23, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Would you consider running for ARBCOM again, Cas? I cannot help but think that a couple of decisions that I, personally, have disagreed with would have gone differently if there had been more people on it with a longer history of content work. Conversely, some other decisions may possibly have been received less poorly if the committee's composition had been different...or maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. Regardless, I would like very much to see you on it again. Vanamonde (Talk) 22:17, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your participation in the September 2019 GA Backlog drive. Your 5 reviews made a difference, as did your willingness to review particularly old nominations.

Hey Casliber. I saw on the FAC for Caligari that you had struck some of your outstanding questions and expressed Support for the FAC. But then I also saw that those edits by you were removed by another user (which I'm certain was accidental on their part) and that your Support message was removed from the page. I was tempted to add it back because I think the other user mistakenly removed it, but I didn't want to try to speak for you. Did you mean for this to be removed? And/or did you want to put it back in? — Hunter Kahn 02:28, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
