Wehwalt, i just wanted to let you know that, in the blurb for this article, i replaced "IND IMP" with "IND IMP" because i think small caps are rarely used in tfa blurbs, and i worry that main page readers may confuse this use of small caps with those used to conform with mos:postnom. (i left the '·' out, as you did, and i think using double quotation marks instead of italics could also have worked.) however, i do see the extensive use of small caps in the article body, and agree that this is much better than having phrases in full-sized capitals scattered throughout the section. in any case, please feel free to revert the change if you disagree. dying ( talk) 00:09, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Really nice going on the nomination for the BTS article. For the past several months, I've been working on the president's article for James Madison and have made a successful GAN promotion. After the successful GAN promotion, it then had a very nice GOCE copy editing done by a good reviewer which enhanced it more. Is there any interest for you to have a look at it to see if a new co-nomination for FAC might be possible for this distinguished fourth president? ErnestKrause ( talk) 14:19, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Wehwalt, if you want that stuff about nationality in the Brundage article then you should reference it. Obviously it's true, but it's verging on OR, and Wikipedia should only draw attention to the facts if such attention is drawn elsewhere (Wikipedia following not leading, etc.). I'll see if I can find a source myself as well. Pikemaster ( talk) 22:27, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
This is to let you know that the Fort Vancouver Centennial half dollar article has been scheduled for October 10, 2022... Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:47, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
Wehwalt, what would it be like if every day was like today? A single topic that overshadows everything else on the main page? I don't suppose one could call it an encyclopedia anymore, which by definition encompasses many topics... even the fact nearly a hundred people died in a recent clash happened (barely mentioned in a single, solitary line)... and yet for a single death there's both a featured article (which isn't up to standard) and all the do you knows in the universe... might as well rename it monarchpedia... truly ridiculous. But hey, maybe tomorrow we can dedicate both of those sections to another billionaire? 92.22.43.60 ( talk) 14:47, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
I like the Main page today. Readers are interested, just take Westminster Abbey, - no trivia, and not because of our Main page. I expect more of a spike for today. Similar for the music director who'll leave for Yale, also no trivia ;) - I am quite happy about the multiple pics, reminded of admired user pages. I just wonder, though, why some of them are not in the article, but didn't want to interfer. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:27, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

Wehwalt, regarding the blurb for this article, i just wanted to let you know that, as someone who was previously unfamiliar with boroughitis, i did not know if the trend was eventually reversed, or if its effects still linger on today. as a result, when first encountering this blurb, i was unsure if "there are few there today" was referring to the boroughs (confirming the former) or to the townships (confirming the latter). admittedly, i do not think replacing "few" with "few of them" would have helped me resolve the ambiguity at the time, as the referent of "them" would have been similarly unclear. i do not know if this ambiguity would only confuse an insignificant minority of readers, but thought it might be helpful to at least explain my concern more fully than in a short hidden comment.
by the way, i do not think the ambiguity is present in the article lead, as it mentions in the first paragraph that these boroughs still exist. dying ( talk) 22:53, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

May i say something? I saw u guys put BTS fandom in the article...that was so great! Thank you so much...this way people will know about us army.
But i only have one problem...there is a small section that says that BTS fandom is mainly made of females. That is not true. The fandom is diverse...there are a lot of fanboys...all ages...old men and women. I feel that if we say the fandom is mainly made up of females, it would discourage young males out there that have dark days...it would make them feel like if they like BTS they would be considered as "gay" or "girly". I really love what you guys did. Many army appreciate what you did. It's just that one line. But as for the rest...when i read it i felt a sense of joy and belonging so thank you so much🌹💜💜have a great day...borahae!💜💜 41.114.140.182 ( talk) 19:12, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, @ Wehwalt. Thank you for your feedback on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Prince Octavius of Great Britain/archive1. I have gone ahead and taken care of your concerns; since it has been a while since I've heard from you.

I saw that the TFA nomination is only currently accepting requests for dates after December 1, but that exceptions can be made under exceptional circumstances if it is discussed with TFA coordinators. I was wondering of the TFA for November 15th can be changed to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (album) for the 40th anniversary of its release. I do not believe the current planned TFA has any significant anniversaries. T1980 ( talk) 19:22, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
“Reverted edit by Wehwalt who apparently didn’t know prime minister and premier are the same and the formal position of the NSW premier is “prime minister” of NSW.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.42.7.124 ( talk) 05:26, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Mako091, Tone back your personal comments. You claim ““Prime minister” is necessarily a federal level position’ and “the state level … is exclusively … “premier”. Whatever gave you that idea? They may be the more common usages but this is just practice and it is not “necessarily” or “exclusively” so. Read Prime Minister. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.42.7.124 ( talk) 06:20, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Wehwalt, i had a quick question regarding this blurb for this article. would it be more appropriate to state in the blurb that mcloughlin had founded the fort, rather than built it? i do not know if mcloughlin physically built the fort in 1825, but the cited bowers source uses the word "established", so i am assuming that it is unlikely. alternatively, if "built the fort" was meant to be interpreted as "set up the organization that was housed in the fort", i admittedly do not feel that there are currently enough context clues in the blurb to warrant this interpretation. dying ( talk) 13:04, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Thank you today for the article about "one of the rarer half dollars in the series, which was authorized almost by chance. It did give another opportunity for the only woman to design more than one classic commemorative coin, Laura Gardin Fraser, the first woman to design a coin (some years earlier) to display her skill." - Great to also see a new FA! - I reviewed a FAC about some U.S. history that might need another reviewer. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:43, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

.Wehwalt- I am a bit confused as to why you reverted my edit to the Benjamin Tillman article where I added that he was the 84th governor of South Carolina and fixed a capitalization error. If you look at any other article about a governor of the state, you will see that it is standard that the number of their term is in the first paragraph, and that governor of South Carolina is the correct capitalization. FinnSoThin ( talk) 22:54, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
Homie: You can look at literally any article for any other governor of any state. The number is standard. It’s the same for presidents. I’m not sure why you’re so set on this.
FinnSoThin ( talk) 17:09, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
I am posting it on your talk page as you are the only person who thinks that the number of their office shouldn’t be in the opening paragraph. Please look at any other governor’s article. The number(s) of the term(s) they served are present in all of them. FinnSoThin ( talk) 17:10, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I thought I'd inform you that this article is at FAC since you heavily commented on my previous FAC! K. Peake 08:55, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
Hello Wehwalt,
You have just reverted one of my previous edits, which I have now re-reverted. Your edit summary "this was discussed, the phrasing is proper" is not satisfactory. The only discussion I see concerns the question of whether myriad is a noun. That had nothing to do with my edit. If there was something wrong with the edit I made, and you have a good reason to revert, go ahead and do so (with a relevant edit summary). Thanks! Renerpho ( talk) 06:27, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

I randomly came across the fact that Jeremy Konner's article was removed for lack of notability. See [2]. This guy seems pretty notable to me (but what do I know).

The article Representations of Judah Benjamin in fiction has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Very low quality (short and unreferenced) violation of WP:IPC/ MOS:POPCULTURE ("Sections with lists of miscellaneous information such as "trivia" sections should be avoided"). Split from main article few years ago, whereas such section should've just been blanked, not moved to a dedicated article in mainspace. Also fails WP:V, WP:GNG and WP:OR.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Hi, @ Wehwalt! We've interacted several time before, but I've never formally introduced myself. I'm Unlimitedlead, and I'm currently working to get Edward I of England to FA status.

Thank you today for John Hay, introduced (in 2014) as about "John Hay, a man who had an incredible career. Beginning as assistant private secretary and surrogate son to Abraham Lincoln, he went on to be Assistant Secretary of State under Hayes and Garfield, then Secretary of State under McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt. He was the only man who had the ear of the first three presidents to be assassinated that I'm aware of. He was an author, a poet, a journalist, an ambassador, and married money. I should mention, perhaps, that I wrote much of this while on my recent Norway cruise, as it was difficult to sleep with the endless daylight and it gave me something to do. Thus, this article is an example, perhaps never to be equalled on Wikipedia, of making Hay while the sun shines." - I hope that our productive friendship will continue in 2023. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:00, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

While the current phrasing in the lead of Apollo 15 postal covers incident might be fine in a vacuum, the phrasing I edited it to twice now is in line with just about every other article on Wikipedia, specifically to start article prose with "Subject is/was A, B, C...", not "Subject, an X, involved Y and Z...". Seeing the latter is jarring because of how little such phrasing is used in article leads across Wikipedia, even in other event articles you helped bring to status, so I ask why the Apollo 15 postal covers incident article in particular needs the altered phrasing? gangplank galleon ( talk) 15:57, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Greetings! I wanted to ask if you are planning to run " Lips Are Movin" as TFA in April 2023 or I have to create a WP:TFAR request to increase its chances? I am reluctant to do the latter unless necessary as there's a user who has it out for me and sabotages any nominations I place on that page. Regards-- N Ø 11:06, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Wehwalt, i had a question regarding this article and the associated blurb. does old swedes qualify their statement with the word "Protestant"? i ask because the article on the church doesn't seem to use the word "Protestant" anywhere, and states a claim that is slightly different.
The church claims to be "the nation's oldest church building still used for worship as originally built".
i tried finding this claim on the church's own web site, and came across another slightly different claim from 2009.
It flourishes today as the nation's oldest church building still standing as originally built. It is still in regular use for worship.
the word "Protestant" appears to have been first introduced to the article here without a source by an editor who appears to now be globally banned by the wmf. the source that appears to have been cited for the statement apparently makes no mention of this claim. i admittedly don't have a copy of swiatek's 2012 encyclopedia, the source currently cited for the claim. dying ( talk) 19:28, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Wehwalt, I've got a question about Benjamin, and of course I come to you! Once Benjamin was admitted to the English Bar, he appeared in a number of cases in the JCPC from Canada, relating to the constitutional division of powers between the provinces and the federal government. (From my review, he always took the provincial side...) Are you aware of any articles or sources that discuss this aspect of his practice? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 02:55, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello Wehwalt, how have you been? I hope you're doing well. I was looking to create this article, 2023 Cricket World Cup Final as a brand new proper article from scratch so that I can be credited as the original author and creator of this article. It was never a true article and was created by someone many years ago as a redirect to the main article 2023 Cricket World Cup. Now since the schedule and many other details have been confirmed by the International Cricket Council, hence I would be very thankful if you could delete the redirect 2023 Cricket World Cup Final so that I can create a new article on it. Thanks. TheGeneralUser ( talk) 10:40, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Wehwalt, i had a question regarding this article and the associated blurb. should the memorial association actually be referred to as the "Roanoke Colony Memorial Association"? i admittedly don't have a copy of the cited source by flynn, but both the legislation authorizing the coin and this pcgs source include "Colony" when referring to the memorial association. a google search for "roanoke memorial association" commemorative only returns this blurb and article, on wikipedia and its mirrors. dying ( talk) 02:18, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

One can focus on the religious obsessions of his later years, or his being a perennial fringe candidate in multiple states, but still, he got a trio of degrees from Ivy League universities, married a feminist and then a wealthy widow, and got a significant Supreme Court decision named after him without either going to jail or being involved in a lengthy lawsuit."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:17, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

This account - /info/en/?search=Special:Contributions/142.67.114.138 - is adding ages to all sorts of articles, most recently they seem to be working their way through US Presidential articles in order of their inaugurations. I find the added content to be obtrusive, unneeded and possibly WP:SYNTH since the age/s at the time of an inauguration/whatever event aren't mentioned in the sources. Plus this editor isn't using any edit summaries. But... not sure this behavior is somehow actionable and so would like your advice. Thanks, Shearonink ( talk) 14:40, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm not going to fight the revert at Babe Ruth—although I do think there needs to be a broader discussion at some point about what to do in similar cases, cf. Charles Winsor vs. Charles Windsor—but just to note, the recommendation at WP:HATNOTE is to have one note, not one link. I used {{ hatnote group}} (following a suggestion I added to the guideline a while back) specifically to comply with that. Not sure if you only looked at the edit in diff view, but as rendered it only appeared as one note.
Anyways, that's all. Happy editing. :)

Hello,
Since our current discussion is effectively at a standstill, I have decided to ask for a third-party, neutral opinion concerning the dispute. I think this is the best way of resolving the issue since I think we've pretty much exhausted each others' arguments, so we'd be more or less repeating ourselves.
I'll respect the overall decision, whether or not I agree with it.

Wehwalt, i just wanted to check with you to make sure that i wasn't doing anything with the captions contrary to what you think should be done. currently, i don't think there is any conflict between your stance on captions and my removals (or additions) of them, but if there is, i certainly didn't want to inadvertently continue going against your stance.
to be clear, i had used the term "general practice" at wp:errors because i don't think there is a hard-and-fast rule on the subject. i usually review the captions on a case-by-case basis, and if i don't think it really adds much to the blurb, i cite what i think is the general practice, as it covers many such instances, and helps avoid having the removal appear whimsical when it is actually based on precedent. for example, i cited this general practice when i removed the caption from this blurb because the year didn't seem that useful as the subject was pictured during his prime, and when i removed it from this blurb because the caption was just the subject's name. however, i left the caption alone in this blurb as the image showed the subject as an aged man. (however, the caption was later removed anyway, so i wasn't sure if i needed to recalibrate myself.)
in some sense, this summary of what i believe is the general practice is like the restatements: it was formulated by reviewing precedent, and can be helpful when resolving similar cases, but it is not binding. of course, common sense overrides in some cases. for example, interestingly, i recently added a caption to this blurb, despite the subject being shown in his prime, because he normally does not have a highly visible scar on his face.
i admittedly wasn't paying attention to who exactly were the two exceptions for this month, and agree with you that the image for victoria could use a caption due to her long reign, like how the images for the elizabeth ii blurb all included a caption. i don't know how i feel about the mansfield image. although i probably would have removed the caption if you hadn't commented about it at wp:errors, i can see your point. she might be the youngest subject of a biographical blurb in recent years.
the next youngest subject i am aware of is connie talbot, whose blurb ran on her eighteenth birthday and featured an image taken when she was around seven. the text accompanying the image did not state the year talbot's photo was taken, but mentioned that it was taken while she was recording a song that the blurb prose explained was released in 2007.
personally, i think mansfield looks about the same in the image as she looks today, though the year may still be useful as the disney advertisement that featured her went viral when she was around seven. in any case, as the caption has already been removed, i don't plan to restore it, but if you will, i won't remove it either.
while we are on the subject of pictures, i thought i might mention that the 1867 election blurb is missing a "(pictured)". if i tried to fit it in myself, i would have reworded the blurb more than i am comfortable with, so i thought i might mention it to you instead, so that you could add it yourself if you think it is warranted.
anyway, please let me know if my practice with the captions is off from what you think it should be, so that i can try to better align with your thinking. thanks in advance, Wehwalt. dying ( talk) 14:05, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. Apologies for not responding sooner! I have a record book from 2007, obviously way out of date in general, but just for fun I checked the left-on-base records. That 1932 game did not set a record, or at least not a lasting record. As of 2007, the record for one club in an extra-inning game was 25, and by both clubs was 45. In the game you wrote about, the A's had 15 LOB and the Indians had 24. Retrosheet, which you did not cite, has the play-by-play of that crazy game.

Tropical Storm Hernan (2020) is at FAC. I have just reviewed it and it has many of the issues one might expect from a first FAC without benefit of GoCE, PR or a mentor. In addition, it is written in USvar English, to my eye over-informally. However, my grasp of the nuances of this dialect is not good enough to be certain. I was wondering if you were able to identify formal USvar to the extent that you could perhaps skim a section or two to see if I am barking up the wrong tree? If time or motivation does not permit, then obviously that is not a problem. Thanks. Gog the Mild ( talk) 18:50, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
