Too bad you already closed it (though you couldn't have known). I had the article open in a tab, to come back to later today, and was about to remove the entire version history table based on consensus at WP:NOT and iOS version history that these tables doesn't belong here (and the table had mild copyvio, to make things worse).

On 19 June 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Gordon McQueen, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Schwede 66 09:08, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
Hi, AJ29! I wanted to be the first to give you a warm welcome to the well-oiled dumpster fire machine that is DYK's prep sets and backrooms. Super excited to have you! Prep setting is a job that earns you a lot of trouts, but also lots of thanks – it takes a while to pick up, but you seem to be doing a fantastic job so far. Don't be afraid to make mistakes – I've yet to see anyone get integrated as a prep set builder without goofing up a ton, self included. I'll be around to see how you're hangin' in there – please let me know via talk page or ping (or honestly, just post at WT:DYK, i'll see it) if you have any questions! Happy building :) we have dunce caps if you get in far enough. cheers!

I've noticed that you have used Jack Weatherford's works in numerous instances while working on Genghis Khan. While I would not write off his work completely since he contributes to shaping popular conception of the Mongols, this review of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Timothy May notes that Weatherford is not a historian and makes numerous mistakes:
It is quite clear that Weatherford is a brilliant writer, blending anthropological insight and incredible enthusiasm with a captivating narrative. It is easy to see why many reviewers and readers have been enthusiastic about it. Despite all of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World's acclaim, it is very clear that Weatherford is not a historian. In the general narrative Weatherford is sufficiently accurate. However, in the details, Weatherford is wrestling with material that he clearly does not fully appreciate.
Thus with Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, the reader is left in a quandary. Many may have thought of using this book in a class. Considering the numerous factual errors and misguided etymological speculations this reviewer cannot recommend using this as a standard text for a world history class with the exception of using it as a point of discussion on historiography. While the overall thrust of the book is on target and may promote new discourse on the influence of the Mongols in history, it is undermined by numerous mistakes.

Hey AirshipJungleman29, hope you're doing well! I've recently done a complete rewrite of the Fuzuli (poet) article and am thinking about nominating it as my first FA. I was wondering if you could take a look and share your thoughts on the peer review I've opened. Your feedback would be really helpful. Thanks! — Golden call me maybe? 15:40, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
Hey AirshipJ'man, hope you are doing well. I can understand the frustration, and the trigger for this comment... Yet, you are a productive editor, and ANI is a hit-or-miss place when one leaves such comments, as some admins wouldn't care less (or more) about the past contributions -- well, I do, and would leave this suggestion as a friend to not make this slip once too often. Best, Lourdes 08:15, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi @
AirshipJungleman29. I clicked over from
WP:CR and saw that you had closed
this RfC. I was wondering if you would consider amending your closure to no consensus. Per
WP:DISCARD, closers should "judge the consensus of the community, after discarding irrelevant arguments", including "those based on personal opinion only"; additionally, editors positions should be substantiated by Wikipedia's policy and guidelines, !vote. Indeed, as was acknowledged in the framing of the RfC, the survey outcome should've been backed up by
reliable sources
. Here, only one user analyzed sources, for the purpose of reviewing sources that use descriptors other than "populist" or "centre" – none of them substantiated the outcome of the RfC. As such, the numerical consensus was based on personal opinion, and pretty much the entire RfC should have been discarded. I look forward to your thoughts. Best,

Nominations for the upcoming project coordinator election have opened. A team of up to ten coordinators will be elected for the next coordination year. The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers. More information on being a coordinator is available here. If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting will commence on 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the current coord team. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 02:04, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them and within 24 hours of the end of the final. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. 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 will be standing down as a judge after the end of the contest. I think the Cup encourages productive editors to improve their contributions to Wikipedia and I hope that someone else will step up to take over the running of the Cup. Sturmvogel 66 ( talk), and Cwmhiraeth ( talk)

You promoted some hook to prep, about Michael McCown, that wasn't approved. I'm often told that hooks should not rely on knowing things. The key to that approved hook is the Britten/Pears partnership. Pears hangs in the air when Britten is not even mentioned ;) Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi, following up on your comment on the Maggie Tokuda-Hall DYK - I was the reviewer. Now that the changes have been made, is there something I'm supposed to do? (This is only my second DYK review, and I'm still learning the ropes.) Any advice would be appreciated. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 14:40, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
You proposed this BLP for deletion since it had no refs. I checked Google Scholar; Barsotti is noted for helping to revive the Occitan language (or at least keep it from dying). I added 4 of these to an external links section. Some are passing mentions, some are more in-depth. There are more Google Scholar refs out there. (I'm traveling and didn't have time to do nicer looking citations). I expect this article would now survive WP:AFD.
Thanks for caring about our articles!

Hello AirshipJungleman29:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

You recently closed a RfC on the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. article. You claim that there "is consensus in favour of solution 2 (removing the term "propaganda"), on grounds that it pejoratively implies deliberate deception", though the majority of editors voted to keep the term, and a number of people stated that they were fine with both terms. Even if that were not the case, RfC's aren't decided by majority vote. Can you please elaborate how you came to the conclusion that there is consensus in favour of not using the term "propaganda"?

Hi @ AirshipJungleman29, thank you for moving my DYK into one of the prep queues. I wanted to include the image in the DYK though, but I guess that wasn't apparent because I hadn't included (pictured) in the hook. Could my hook be moved to another queue so that it can be accompanied by the flag shown in the nomination? BaduFerreira ( talk) 14:47, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
Hiya, AirshipJungleman29! I noticed you edited the hook for 1989 (Taylor's Version) 'cuz...... you pinged me. You moved "in less than a day" to later in the hook. I feel like that kinda makes my eyes glaze over it now. I think maybe "within a day" could work instead since it's less wordy. You also linked Taylor Swift, but I feel like linking it would take attention away from the 1989TV link. If readers are really interested, they can find Swift's link in the first sentence of the article. Thanks! Pamzeis ( talk) 06:40, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Regarding Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Tesla, Inc./1, the instructions at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment don't list 'no consensus' to delist as a possible outcome, rather consensus should be found to keep the article as a GA. Having only just realised, I ask that the reassessment be reopened so that consensus can be established. I have come here to ask as you were the one to close the discussion.

If a clear consensus develops among participants that the issues have been resolved and the article meets GACR, the reassessment may be closed as keep at any time., which, in a manner similar to WP:ONUS, implies that the side wishing to keep the article as a GA must find some kind of consensus. A simple objection from one editor does not constitute consensus to keep as a GA. I would also disagree that the 'Results' at least at the Article history template refer to the status of the article. The template lists the outcome under a 'Results' column, which specifically refers to the results of the discussion, not the status of the article. Either way, WP:GAR doesn't support the idea that an article can be 'kept' as a GA without consensus to do so. Willbb234 20:20, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi.
Thanks for your kind note about my effort at a more balanced approach to the factuality of The Old Man and the Sea.
Question for you: Can you point me to the proper template for citing an essay in an edited volume, such as the Cambridge Companion series? If I knew that, I'd have done better with specific page cites to Sylvester. And, I intend to do some touch up on the article on Ibsen's The Wild Duck, drawn from the Cambridge Companion to Ibsen. Having the proper template would improve those future efforts.
(Ironic aside: You appear to have a deep interest in Mongol history. I spent some decades focused on modern Chinese affairs. But we've met in Cuba!)

AirshipJungleman29, i thought i might raise some finer points about mos:circa with you, since i know you are receptive to constructive criticism, and thought it would be helpful to address some minor issues in the " Boukephala and Nikaia" article.
there are two instances in the article where i am unsure if you are using the circa template correctly, since they include an unspaced en dash in a date range.
also, there is one instance where a space appears to be missing.
anyway, please let me know if you have any questions about any of this, as i know that mos:circa can be very confusing. i actually don't think i understood it myself until a couple of years ago, and am still not positive that i fully understand it. dying ( talk) 22:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
You said you wanted to be notified when Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1807 in Chile closed. Everyone besides the closer seems to pretty much be on the same page (that page being 1800s in Chile). Like I said in the AfD, this is an area where I'm particularly active and have some experience with. Cleanup is long overdue.
Given that these articles are stubs with only a few views, I think we can safely say that merging them would be an uncontroversial merge that doesn't need a formal RM. But then that opens new questions. What about 1810s in Chile and 1820s in Chile? What about 1800s in Spain and 1800s in Ireland? If it's an appropriate merge for one set, it's probably appropriate for all of them, but that's a much larger undertaking. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 06:09, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work,
BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

are not considered reliable on Wikipedia. Finally, I would concentrate on making sure you have at least three sources that meet all the requirements at

~~ AirshipJungleman29 (
talk) 23:29, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Hello. I think a large edit like this should require consensus to be removed. Fair enough, you made a bold edit, but as I've reverted it now because I disagree with your reasoning for its removal, I think any further issues with it should be taken to the article talk page to get consensus for its removal. Before it was shut down, the server had a limited number of streamers who regularly played on it and whom had "visited" it. That's not WP:INDISCRIMINATE information, that's a limited scope. As the streamers' popularity was one of the reasons as to why the Minecraft server became as big as it was, it's also not "trivia" ( WP:TRIVIA)—it's one of the key components of the topic. It would be like removing a cast list from a TV series or film article. In no way am I saying it's the best way to present the information nor am I saying the article is great, but also, several of the streamers' names (or all? I'm not sure as I didn't make them) redirect to that article. Anyway, please get consensus to remove it as I think this is a contentious removal. Thanks. Ss 112 09:04, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for tightening up the article. Please review the last paragraph of the "Career" section. I believe it is WP:UNDUE. Also, the source, an article in Jewish Currents, contains numerous errors of fact. For example, the article claims that Silvers banned Said from contributing to the New York Review of Books during the 1980s (though he later wrote for the Review and also wrote for its spinoff, The London Review of Books) because his brother Edwin lived in Israel then, but Edwin Silvers lived in Middletown, New York, continuously from 1958 to his death in 2000 (his obituary was published in the Times Herald-Record in July 2000), so the premise of the statement is nonsense. I do not feel comfortable in removing the statement myself since I may be said to have a COI. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 19:45, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
As you seem objective - and I am not sure if you are an Admin.
I am new to WP - and you seriously need new technical editors - so I think this worth reading.
I feel I was rather 'set up' - my credentials are on my page and I wondered if this was ever a great idea - to be so public, personal ego perhaps.
I noted the patterns as I described - GA status seems a goal by many, certainly not by me - I am actually just happy to contribute here and there.
I know of no colleagues of mine that would go to WP for advice - some other specialties might.
I noted a few editors targeting older articles in the med/science/biochem areas - I note floating them into a GA pipeline is super important to them. I do understand there are indeed multiple perceptions of this - and I even collaborated on a few articles.
Being direct - sure anyone can edit WP - it is a core tenet. But when non-technical editors build off an older document - and have no real knowledge of the topic - it might be a problem, and I do think I got sucked into something - I was more than a little gullible in the GA reviews - and I was specifically asked by other editors - I now see there was an agenda - my perspective.
Enough said - I learned something without getting burned too much - but I was surprised - as an aging Physician I didn't think I'd be so susceptible to flattery.
I will be far more guarded moving forward.
I will tread very careful and might dilute my credential listing.

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "The year is 1203. A middle-aged tribal chieftain has been betrayed by his lord; his meagre forces have been annihilated in battle, and he's been forced into headlong flight with a a small group of loyalists. They camp by a nondescript body of water (lake? river? does it matter?) to gather their wits. The chieftain looks around at the men who have followed him, even into these desparate straits, and knows he has to reward such loyalty. He takes a drink of the dirty water and swears an oath of mutual fidelity; his companions return the gesture. They take for themselves a title–not a noble one, but something ignominious, reflecting their situation. The Baljunatu, the "Muddy Water Drinkers"? That's really all they are, for the moment. - Mere decades later, millions of people and half the world live in awe of the power and name of that minor chieftain, a certain Genghis Khan. His empire spans Eurasia, and his generals wreak devastation on the greatest cities of the world. And he honoured the oath he swore on that dirty shoreline all those years ago—all the Muddy Water Drinkers belong to the highest nobility in the largest land empire the world has seen or will ever know. That is the story of the Baljuna Covenant."! - Enjoyed! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:22, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I've noticed that you have used Jack Weatherford's works in numerous instances while working on Genghis Khan. While I would not write off his work completely since he contributes to shaping popular conception of the Mongols, this review of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Timothy May notes that Weatherford is not a historian and makes numerous mistakes:
It is quite clear that Weatherford is a brilliant writer, blending anthropological insight and incredible enthusiasm with a captivating narrative. It is easy to see why many reviewers and readers have been enthusiastic about it. Despite all of Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World's acclaim, it is very clear that Weatherford is not a historian. In the general narrative Weatherford is sufficiently accurate. However, in the details, Weatherford is wrestling with material that he clearly does not fully appreciate.
Thus with Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, the reader is left in a quandary. Many may have thought of using this book in a class. Considering the numerous factual errors and misguided etymological speculations this reviewer cannot recommend using this as a standard text for a world history class with the exception of using it as a point of discussion on historiography. While the overall thrust of the book is on target and may promote new discourse on the influence of the Mongols in history, it is undermined by numerous mistakes.

Hi @
AirshipJungleman29. I clicked over from
WP:CR and saw that you had closed
this RfC. I was wondering if you would consider amending your closure to no consensus. Per
WP:DISCARD, closers should "judge the consensus of the community, after discarding irrelevant arguments", including "those based on personal opinion only"; additionally, editors positions should be substantiated by Wikipedia's policy and guidelines, !vote. Indeed, as was acknowledged in the framing of the RfC, the survey outcome should've been backed up by
reliable sources
. Here, only one user analyzed sources, for the purpose of reviewing sources that use descriptors other than "populist" or "centre" – none of them substantiated the outcome of the RfC. As such, the numerical consensus was based on personal opinion, and pretty much the entire RfC should have been discarded. I look forward to your thoughts. Best,

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Hi, following up on your comment on the Maggie Tokuda-Hall DYK - I was the reviewer. Now that the changes have been made, is there something I'm supposed to do? (This is only my second DYK review, and I'm still learning the ropes.) Any advice would be appreciated. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 14:40, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
You proposed this BLP for deletion since it had no refs. I checked Google Scholar; Barsotti is noted for helping to revive the Occitan language (or at least keep it from dying). I added 4 of these to an external links section. Some are passing mentions, some are more in-depth. There are more Google Scholar refs out there. (I'm traveling and didn't have time to do nicer looking citations). I expect this article would now survive WP:AFD.
Thanks for caring about our articles!

Hello AirshipJungleman29:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

You recently closed a RfC on the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. article. You claim that there "is consensus in favour of solution 2 (removing the term "propaganda"), on grounds that it pejoratively implies deliberate deception", though the majority of editors voted to keep the term, and a number of people stated that they were fine with both terms. Even if that were not the case, RfC's aren't decided by majority vote. Can you please elaborate how you came to the conclusion that there is consensus in favour of not using the term "propaganda"?

Hi @ AirshipJungleman29, thank you for moving my DYK into one of the prep queues. I wanted to include the image in the DYK though, but I guess that wasn't apparent because I hadn't included (pictured) in the hook. Could my hook be moved to another queue so that it can be accompanied by the flag shown in the nomination? BaduFerreira ( talk) 14:47, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
Hiya, AirshipJungleman29! I noticed you edited the hook for 1989 (Taylor's Version) 'cuz...... you pinged me. You moved "in less than a day" to later in the hook. I feel like that kinda makes my eyes glaze over it now. I think maybe "within a day" could work instead since it's less wordy. You also linked Taylor Swift, but I feel like linking it would take attention away from the 1989TV link. If readers are really interested, they can find Swift's link in the first sentence of the article. Thanks! Pamzeis ( talk) 06:40, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Regarding Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Tesla, Inc./1, the instructions at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment don't list 'no consensus' to delist as a possible outcome, rather consensus should be found to keep the article as a GA. Having only just realised, I ask that the reassessment be reopened so that consensus can be established. I have come here to ask as you were the one to close the discussion. Cheers, Willbb234 19:11, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
If a clear consensus develops among participants that the issues have been resolved and the article meets GACR, the reassessment may be closed as keep at any time., which, in a manner similar to WP:ONUS, implies that the side wishing to keep the article as a GA must find some kind of consensus. A simple objection from one editor does not constitute consensus to keep as a GA. I would also disagree that the 'Results' at least at the Article history template refer to the status of the article. The template lists the outcome under a 'Results' column, which specifically refers to the results of the discussion, not the status of the article. Either way, WP:GAR doesn't support the idea that an article can be 'kept' as a GA without consensus to do so. Willbb234 20:20, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi.
Thanks for your kind note about my effort at a more balanced approach to the factuality of The Old Man and the Sea.
Question for you: Can you point me to the proper template for citing an essay in an edited volume, such as the Cambridge Companion series? If I knew that, I'd have done better with specific page cites to Sylvester. And, I intend to do some touch up on the article on Ibsen's The Wild Duck, drawn from the Cambridge Companion to Ibsen. Having the proper template would improve those future efforts.
(Ironic aside: You appear to have a deep interest in Mongol history. I spent some decades focused on modern Chinese affairs. But we've met in Cuba!)

AirshipJungleman29, i thought i might raise some finer points about mos:circa with you, since i know you are receptive to constructive criticism, and thought it would be helpful to address some minor issues in the " Boukephala and Nikaia" article.
there are two instances in the article where i am unsure if you are using the circa template correctly, since they include an unspaced en dash in a date range.
also, there is one instance where a space appears to be missing.
anyway, please let me know if you have any questions about any of this, as i know that mos:circa can be very confusing. i actually don't think i understood it myself until a couple of years ago, and am still not positive that i fully understand it. dying ( talk) 22:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
You said you wanted to be notified when Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1807 in Chile closed. Everyone besides the closer seems to pretty much be on the same page (that page being 1800s in Chile). Like I said in the AfD, this is an area where I'm particularly active and have some experience with. Cleanup is long overdue.
Given that these articles are stubs with only a few views, I think we can safely say that merging them would be an uncontroversial merge that doesn't need a formal RM. But then that opens new questions. What about 1810s in Chile and 1820s in Chile? What about 1800s in Spain and 1800s in Ireland? If it's an appropriate merge for one set, it's probably appropriate for all of them, but that's a much larger undertaking. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 06:09, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

are not considered reliable on Wikipedia. Finally, I would concentrate on making sure you have at least three sources that meet all the requirements at

~~ AirshipJungleman29 (
talk) 23:29, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Hello. I think a large edit like this should require consensus to be removed. Fair enough, you made a bold edit, but as I've reverted it now because I disagree with your reasoning for its removal, I think any further issues with it should be taken to the article talk page to get consensus for its removal. Before it was shut down, the server had a limited number of streamers who regularly played on it and whom had "visited" it. That's not WP:INDISCRIMINATE information, that's a limited scope. As the streamers' popularity was one of the reasons as to why the Minecraft server became as big as it was, it's also not "trivia" ( WP:TRIVIA)—it's one of the key components of the topic. It would be like removing a cast list from a TV series or film article. In no way am I saying it's the best way to present the information nor am I saying the article is great, but also, several of the streamers' names (or all? I'm not sure as I didn't make them) redirect to that article. Anyway, please get consensus to remove it as I think this is a contentious removal. Thanks. Ss 112 09:04, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for tightening up the article. Please review the last paragraph of the "Career" section. I believe it is WP:UNDUE. Also, the source, an article in Jewish Currents, contains numerous errors of fact. For example, the article claims that Silvers banned Said from contributing to the New York Review of Books during the 1980s (though he later wrote for the Review and also wrote for its spinoff, The London Review of Books) because his brother Edwin lived in Israel then, but Edwin Silvers lived in Middletown, New York, continuously from 1958 to his death in 2000 (his obituary was published in the Times Herald-Record in July 2000), so the premise of the statement is nonsense. I do not feel comfortable in removing the statement myself since I may be said to have a COI. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 19:45, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I am new to WP - and you seriously need new technical editors - so I think this worth reading.
I feel I was rather 'set up' - my credentials are on my page and I wondered if this was ever a great idea - to be so public, personal ego perhaps.
I noted the patterns as I described - GA status seems a goal by many, certainly not by me - I am actually just happy to contribute here and there.
I know of no colleagues of mine that would go to WP for advice - some other specialties might.
I noted a few editors targeting older articles in the med/science/biochem areas - I note floating them into a GA pipeline is super important to them. I do understand there are indeed multiple perceptions of this - and I even collaborated on a few articles.
Being direct - sure anyone can edit WP - it is a core tenet. But when non-technical editors build off an older document - and have no real knowledge of the topic - it might be a problem, and I do think I got sucked into something - I was more than a little gullible in the GA reviews - and I was specifically asked by other editors - I now see there was an agenda - my perspective.
Enough said - I learned something without getting burned too much - but I was surprised - as an aging Physician I didn't think I'd be so susceptible to flattery.
I will be far more guarded moving forward.
I will tread very careful and might dilute my credential listing.

my story today |
---|
Thank you today for the article, introduced: "The year is 1203. A middle-aged tribal chieftain has been betrayed by his lord; his meagre forces have been annihilated in battle, and he's been forced into headlong flight with a a small group of loyalists. They camp by a nondescript body of water (lake? river? does it matter?) to gather their wits. The chieftain looks around at the men who have followed him, even into these desparate straits, and knows he has to reward such loyalty. He takes a drink of the dirty water and swears an oath of mutual fidelity; his companions return the gesture. They take for themselves a title–not a noble one, but something ignominious, reflecting their situation. The Baljunatu, the "Muddy Water Drinkers"? That's really all they are, for the moment. - Mere decades later, millions of people and half the world live in awe of the power and name of that minor chieftain, a certain Genghis Khan. His empire spans Eurasia, and his generals wreak devastation on the greatest cities of the world. And he honoured the oath he swore on that dirty shoreline all those years ago—all the Muddy Water Drinkers belong to the highest nobility in the largest land empire the world has seen or will ever know. That is the story of the Baljuna Covenant."! - Enjoyed! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:22, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
