Hey theleekycauldron! I had a quick DYK question and I thought you'd be a good person to talk to! I recently promoted an article (Medjed) to GA and then another editor nominated it for DYK. Is it acceptable for me to list this in the "showcase" section of my userpage even though I personally didn't nominate it/comment on the DYK nom?--Gen. Quon[Talk] 21:53, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
On 1 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article United States v. Rahimi, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a 2023 ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit invalidates a law preventing people from owning firearms while under restraining orders for domestic abuse? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/United States v. Rahimi. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, United States v. Rahimi), 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 second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

I saw that you reviewed this hook (Queue 6: List of Alexander McQueen collections (nom)) and mentioned that it was long enough. As a list it needs to meet the prose requirement if I'm reading WP:DYKCRIT correctly, which excludes tables and lists within the article itself even if it's a list-class article. The DYKCheck gives it only 1154 characters of prose, both now and at the time of review. Is there something I'm overlooking? Thanks. - Aoidh (talk) 21:36, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
Would you mind adding a link to the discussion for the recent changed to DYK D2 in the attached note? It's not in the talk page, but that isn't surprising. Maury Markowitz (talk) 17:59, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm currently working on getting a topic about John Oliver put together- his article is a GAN (I hope to get it to FA once it's passed) and his awards list is up at FLC. Whenever these reviews pass, the topic would likely consist of those to articles and (naturally) John Oliver Memorial Sewer Plant, which you promoted to GAN. I'd like to get the sewer plant to FA status, and wanted to confirm with you that it'd be good if I prepared it for FAC- I'm good with co-nominating it with you (which would be preferable as I have another FAC open right now). So, to summarize, may I prepare the sewer plant for FAC, and in the future, put it into a topic? MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 13:33, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Have not chatted with you for a bit. I wondered if I could get your opinion on the hook in this Nomination. Bruxton (talk) 14:35, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to DYK! I've submitted some DYKs recently and saw the List of Wikipedians by Number of DYKs with you at 25 and also saw that you've done a bunch of promotions, so I figured and cross-check the list against your count. Looks like you're overdue for an award! Upjav (talk) 03:44, 24 May 2023 (UTC) |
