... for your help with the images and the review of Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen, BWV 56! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:15, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

.I am looking for a journal article, which seems like it would be German, but I don't know the name of it in German. The article was written by Varia Kipiani, probably in 1905 or 1906. This newspaper article reported in 1907 that Kipiani's article appeared in the Walbaum Zentralblatt für Gynäkologie. World cat shows only "L'ergographie du sucre" (1905) but the description here and here of that French article seems to be a discussion of the sugar crash, and not a comparison of cane sugar and fructose. After your detective work on Foote, I wondered if you might be able to assist me in finding this. If you are too busy, or uninterested, no worries. SusunW ( talk) 22:20, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
The 2022 WikiCup has drawn to a close with the final round going down to the wire. The 2022 champion is
During the WikiCup, contestants achieved 37 featured articles, 349 good articles, 360 featured article reviews, 683 good article reviews and 480 In the news items, so Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors. Well done everyone! All those who reached the final round will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or the overall leader in this field.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January and possible changes to the rules and scoring are being discussed on the discussion page. You are invited to sign up to take part in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to have a good turnout for the 2023 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners and finalists, and thank all participants for their involvement!

First, hi! I wanted to say thanks so much for taking on the article, it's been a pet project of mine for a while. I was very happy to see the review got taken up so quickly, especially by someone with background knowledge. I don't want to drop off the radar — I'm going to try to implement fixes you point out this month. I think I mentioned on the page that I sort of got hit with a bunch of real world life stuff (in a good way!), which I wasn't anticipating when I submitted the review. Just wanted to let you know, and again, thanks so much :) WhinyTheYounger (WtY)( talk, contribs) 19:25, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. 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.

Hello Kusma,
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.
Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.
For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.
For the Arbitration Committee,

My user page was not a hate crime or an attack against someone, and it was indeed actually me who i was talking about, so why would it get deleted? ZestyMonkey2962 ( talk) 17:30, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
Sorry for being abrupt before, Kusma, that wasn't my intention, and I apologise. Looking at the sources on Charles III more closely, I can't seem to find the reference from Metro; perhaps you could tell me where it is. I found the one from the IB Times you mentioned (ref 164). Looking at the article, it seems to report on the public's reaction via Twitter. I accept that the IB Times is marked as generally unreliable; however, here they aren't making up a story, and they have the evidence on the article. If you can point me to the Metro ref, I'll gladly replace it. Again, I apologise for saying that you trashed the review, that was wholly unacceptable behaviour on my part.

Hello, I'm
Sixkwnp. For discussing the problem of
Taiwanese Mandarin article.
There are three reasons why I removed it: Firstly, the neutrality of the wording might be misleading. Secondly, reliable reference links need to be added to the description. Thirdly, as you can see from the content of the Chinese entry, "1913年,教育部讀音統一會議定老國音,標音用注音符號。1932年後,以教育部出版之《國音常用字彙》為標準音,與中華人民共和國於1955年制定的普通話標準有一些差異。1945年臺灣進入戰後時期,當時剛結束日本統治的臺灣人並不熟悉國音;在中華民國政府的國語政策與九年國民義務教育下,國語才逐漸普及" As you can see, the it's more neutral than deleted part. Also, I think that if there is controversial content in the overview section, it should be written as a sub-entry below. Sixkwnp ( talk) 13:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi, you were kind enough to help me out with Henry de Hinuber's family and the German sources involved. The article is nearing the end of a GA review now. Hinuber's service in the Hanoverian Army after 1816 is mostly cited to a master's thesis, and I can't find any other source that talks about Hinuber and the Militärcomité/Bundesmilitärkommission. I wondered whether you might be willing to have a quick look to see whether any German sources have touched on either Hinuber or the commission?

Hey! I had recently contributed to the Alveus Sanctuary article, but notice that it was deleted overnight. Could you provide some more context on why it was deleted? It looks like the message references copyright infringement of a news article, and the sancutary's website itself?

On 13 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alice Ilgenfritz Jones, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Alice Ilgenfritz Jones was one of "Two Women of the West" from Iowa who wrote the 1893 feminist utopian novel Unveiling a Parallel? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alice Ilgenfritz Jones. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Alice Ilgenfritz Jones), 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.

aka Alexandrina Marie/Maria Onslow, Alexandra Onslow. Born 27 January 1868 in Wales; died 2 February 1950 (ancestry probate record). Supposedly there is an obit in the Times, but I have no access to that. This is blocked to me, but perhaps you can see it? She was a driver from 1914-1917 for various medical ambulance services, got some medals. She was the partner of Nasta Rojc. Weird thing is other than census records, I find diddly squat about her until 1914, when she was 46. That seems totally weird. Any chance there is stuff on your side of the pond?

Hello Kusma, where were you able to locate the higher resolution colour version of the Portrait of Alexander Buchan you have and where is it possible to get a copy of the colour portrait?
