Hmmm. This. What conenus, discussion, vote or RfC is this based on? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:31, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Regarding the close of the Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Discussing_the_DYK_guideline_of_one_DYK_per_article_maximum, you are the only one of the four DYK admins not to respond regarding going forward. P.S. I see you have edited Wikipedia:Did you know/Guidelines since the close, but it does not seem to be related to the close.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:41, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for improving articles in January! I remember Ewa Podleś on the Main page, and had - believe it or not - two musical DYK today. Shalom chaverim. On vacation, with something for your sweet tooth -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:05, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Today: the performance of Anna Nekhames --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:03, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Today a friend's birthday, with related music and a few new vacation pics --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:26, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey, tlc! I'm trying to promote Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Homecoming_(photograph) into prep 5, and it keeps hanging up...any clue what I'm doing wrong? Valereee (talk) 16:50, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey, just to let you know that the coded wikilink at User:Theleekycauldron/Scripts/PSHAW/main.js#L-15 leads to a page that no longer exists. I haven't done that much investigating, but I'm guessing that's the reason the edit summary in Special:Diff/1199843424 contains a redlink :) Best, —a smart kitten[meow] 03:29, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2024).
Edit-a-thon and Wikipedia Day Celebration | |
---|---|
Please join Wikimedians of Los Angeles on Saturday, February 17 from 12:00 to 4:00 pm for a Los Angeles and West Hollywood-themed edit-a-thon at the West Hollywood Library. (For the details and to sign up, see Wikipedia:Meetup/Los Angeles/February 2024.) We'll also be celebrating Wikipedia's 23rd birthday/Wikipedia Day. (There will be cake!) We hope to see you there!

Theleekycauldron, can I ask you to please take a look at this nomination, and see whether you think my objection is warranted or not. I've stopped the nomination in its tracks, but on further reflection, while the hook seems to be obscuring the general thrust of the article, I'm not sure whether that is a sufficient objection, nor whether the issue about whether the 0.2% number is adequately sourced based on the current discussion linked to by the nominator should even hold things up. I'd appreciate it if you could render an opinion, and will defer to you. Thank you very much. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:50, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima (submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. 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.

I made the Draft:Sun Haven article which is a farm sim game. If that gets approved, (i.e. reviewed and moved to article), would that video game pop up on DYK? Obviously it would not be approved rn due to notability reasons. JuniperChill (talk) 15:31, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

I liked your RfA comment! - Today I am happy about a singer on the Main page (at least for the first hours), after TFA the same day last year. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:39, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
When I made today's story I was sure Alfred Grosser would appear on RD today, which may happen or not but I go to bed. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:42, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks to Seiji Ozawa. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
While I don't agree with the community's conclusion, thanks for doing your part to close the discussion based on consensus (that there was none). Buffs (talk) 17:06, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I have noticed that your essay "It's okay to be wrong" has been redlinked on your user page. I have found the page it was moved to, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could fix the link. Out of respect, I will not edit it myself. Thank you! 2003LN6 19:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Did you mean to remove the two RfCs regarding reformatting discussions at RFA? As far as I could tell, although the civility discussion had concluded and been withdrawn, these other two discussions were still active and had not yet reached a consensus either for or against.
