You blocked Nimmmad ( talk · contribs) a few weeks ago - they are back and still at it. Time for indef? Giant Snowman 16:58, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
You know how lost I am without Yoninah and I am hoping you can help me. I have worked up an article that I am planning to get through the GA nomination in time for International Women's Day on March 8th. At any rate, I always seem to have trouble with hooks. Since I won't have a lot of time as it needs both a GA and DYK review, I thought perhaps I could approach you before it is reviewed and get your take. Do you think this is interesting enough and has broad appeal? "DYK...that South African nurse, Stella Madzimbamuto, filed an appeal in 1968 with the British Privy Council on her husband's detention which resulted in the Rhodesian government being declared illegal?" "In consequence, the usurping government in Rhodesia is not a lawful government, and all its acts and decrees are invalid." p 95 It's right at 197 char and though it seems kind of long, I am not sure how I could shorten it. I thought it was interesting that she challenged the Rhodesian government, but she was South African. I also am not sure if the last word would be better as unlawful, though my thesaurus says illegal is a synonym, but I don't want to end up at errors, either. I totally understand if you don't have time or interest. Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 22:05, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Valereee! You asked me about Shaylee Mansfield - I'm a Deaf expert and some edits are modified or removed as the focus should be about her not the interpreters or coaches. There's more, but this is why I am here to tweak these parts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marie284 ( talk • contribs) 17:57, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Looking at your edits here, I think you meant to lift the block on that user but forgot to do so. Looks like they also have one more outstanding unblock request from last month. -- Yamla ( talk) 15:41, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, regarding this edit, no doubt they are. However, this wording is taken directly from the Classic Restaurants of Fort Wayne source, and also supported by the other cited source. They are of course American by nationality, but the sources point out they are Macedonian by ethnicity. -- Local hero talk 01:06, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Valereee. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! |
And so ends the first round of the WikiCup. Last year anyone who scored more than zero points moved on to Round 2, but this was not the case this year, and a score of 13 or more was required to proceed. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others who qualified for Round 2, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. Between them, contestants completed reviews of a large number of good articles as the contest ran concurrently with a GAN backlog drive. Well done all! To qualify for Round 3, contestants will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two participants.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Anything that should have been claimed for in Round 1 is no longer eligible for points. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. 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 Needed.
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 yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Hi valereee, just wanted to follow up on User talk:L235/Archive 16 § uninvolved statements – apologies for the delay. Community statements are very important to me, but in many circumstances, statements do not meaningfully contribute. There was a fairly high share of those unhelpful statements at the case request in question, as you're probably able to see. (I wasn't trying to call anyone out in my note! I was just trying to set better expectations for what would be most impactful in the future.) I don't personally treat statements at ARC as a good reflection of community consensus unless the sentiment is truly overwhelming, because that is a very skewed sample; instead, statements are most helpful when they help us contextualize the dispute or provide more information that we had not considered. Hope this resolves your concern but happy to talk more. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 15:55, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
