Hello Amakuru. I just noticed the close, but it also appears to only close the discussion part (the votes were just above in the previous section). Just in case you either forgot to close both, or only looked at that section to evaluate the consensus. Thanks, — Paleo Neonate – 22:21, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes, the discussion was not finished and there was not consensus. The section above the requested move was in overwhelming support of the request. This section was considered part of the move as it was linked in the original request reason. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 22:26, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the Nagano, Nagano close. It must have been a painful task if you have read the whole discussion indeed (but please don't tell ;) ). While "no consensus" could have been an opportune option, it takes a good admin to make the right call and make at least the first cut in the Gordian knot known as
WP:MOSJA. Nobody is happy with the current naming practice, but discussions how to tackle it just go in circles until everyone just gets exhausted and frustrated.
Hope you had a nice vacation, if that was the reason for your recent absence; it felt at RM.

Hey, thank you for wrapping this up. That said, I think adding something about how "a larger discussion about other such titles can be had at the appropriate forum" or some such would keep the neutrals (and perhaps one or two of the opposes) happy, especially given that they were technically right on the procedure (I just have less faith in the procedure than they do).

I note that this diff appears to be a violation of the consensus required before restoration restriction..Also, my personal way to resolve this would be to do "Trump's paternal grandfather, Frederick Trump, first immigrated to the United States in 1885 at the age of 16 and became a citizen in 1892", i.e omit the fact that Trump's grandfather had a different original Germanic name as being irrelevant Galobtter ( pingó mió) 08:43, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Move requests are based on guidelines and not on vote count, yet none of the supports have provided any evidence to support their claim that this topic is a British topic and that "Black Loungue suit" is the widely known term. Currently, as the article stands, it reads as if this is a German term which should use the German name. I fail to see how a 2-3 move, citing guidelines lacking any backing had a consensus for the move. The onus should be on those arguing for the move. -- Gonnym ( talk) 16:42, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
You've moved John Diggle and Oliver Queen to a disambig page of "Arrowverse". The reason it is "Arrow" is because that is where they first appeared. The fact that they have appeared on another show is irrelevant, because naming conventions ( WP:NCTV) says to put the show name there that they appear on. Those characters are on "Arrow" and have only guest starred on other shows. Not to mention that "Arrowverse" is still a fanmade term. Just as an example, Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), originated on Buffy, starred in his own show later, and isn't listed as "Angel (Angel TV show)" nor "Angel (Buffyverse)" (which is also a page Buffyverse). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:28, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but that is inaccurate. Maybe if you want to argue "simple majority", but if you look it was basically 6 to 4 (in the discussion, but it was 4 to 4 in the actual vote...and it would have been 5 had I known the discussion was taking place). Your examples of Star Trek and Star Wars are not applicable. The reason that most of those exist as simply "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" (the actual names of those shows) is because of the length of official names. It would be ridiculous to say "Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation), when "jean-luc picard (Star Trek)" does the same on a shorter platform and is just as ambiguous. If there happened to be 2 different Jean-Lucs (unrelated to each other), you could bet it would actually say "ST:TNG" in it. The same with Star Wars that has a sentence in each film's title. That is not the case here, where "Arrow" is not only ambiguous, but shorter than Arrowverse. It's also more widely known as the character on "Arrow" and not the character in the "Arrowverse". BIGNOLE (Contact me) 18:18, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you changed "Alki" to "Al-ki". According to the official Washington State Legislature page, both forms are correct, but the article and the source use "Alki", so that should be how it appears in the hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:14, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I just want to warn you about unjustified edit you executed with renaming page Franjo Tuđman Airport Zagreb back to Zagreb Airport and making excuse with discussion from 2016. That time discussion about move was meaningful since airport was just renamed month ago, so that name change still wasnt't implemented on official website and other places (including media and everyday life). That was argument for keeping old name Zagreb Airport. Now, we have totally different case: as I wrote, now it stands clearly Franjo Tuđman Airport Zagreb on official website (you can also make sure, [1]) and on terminal ( [2]). Same case with media and everyday life. Now you can everywhere see Zračna luka Franjo Tuđman (Croatian term for Franjo Tuđman Airport). I hope you see we have clear situtation with name now, so renaming discussions are unnecessarily. Cheers, -- Ernies73 ( talk) 05:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to 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. 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. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

The Barnstar of Integrity |
For singlehandedly stepping up to shoulder the burden of POTD when no one else would. You deserve recognition for your integrity in more ways than one. Your actions, which prompted the previous POTD coordinator to rage quit the project, were reasonable, bold, and in good faith, and were only part of your overall efforts to preserve the integrity of the main page, which in itself deserves great recognition. You didn't do anything wrong, however, and you did not have to take responsibility for the fallout. Nevertheless, you did. While other admins idly bantered back and forth in response, you quietly began taking on the workload, seeking no recognition. Incredible. Thank you for all you do here, Amakuru. This project is lucky to have you. Swarm ♠ 04:22, 2 September 2018 (UTC) |

Please reverse your A7 deletion of Kenneth Tobin. It was a bad choice, because the article is not eligible for A7: its first line states that he held the title of "Presidential Professor" which not only is a claim of significance (per A7) but also is likely by itself enough to pass our guidelines for academic notability. The version you deleted sourced that claim in a bad format (external link rather than footnote), but that's not a matter for A7. — David Eppstein ( talk) 21:05, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

As you appear to have been selecting most of the POTDs in recent weeks, and setting up the templates, may I encourage you to put a notification template on the talk page for the relevant article(s) as part of that process. I think I've caught up now for the last few weeks: I've been adding (example) {{ POTD/2018-09-17}} to the bold linked article (and sometimes to the article for the artwork, if different) but if I was doing it sufficiently far in advance, now I see I could have been using {{ UpcomingPOTD}} (which takes two parameters: the file name for the selected image, and the selected date) to solicit improvements from the regular editors of the relevant articles. I know you have been improving the articles yourselves, but there is always a small chance that someone might help you out with one or two of them.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Suicide of Katelyn Davis. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
I understand that your move of Helminths to Parasitic worm followed a page move discussion which was closed as move to "Parasitic worm". However , there is some debate about whether the non-admin closure reflected consensus and whether it should have been closed in the way that it was. Some discussion can be found here. It might be prudent to set the article back to its previous state to see whether we can indeed reach a consensus. Perhaps this time the proposed move should be from Helminths to Parasitic worm .

Amakuru, you blocked Dimas gilang on 9 September for repeatedly recreating Kompas (Kompas TV news program). A draft for this was then created at Draft:Kompas (Kompas TV news program).

Although I do think that a term this ambiguous is best served by a DAB, you're arguments about NOTDIC for Burial are probably stronger. However 2 editors have subsequently argued that it should be disambiguated. I actually think maybe it would have been a better idea to just reopen the RM (however I don't think I've seen this done before when a consensus has been reached). Feel free to start a move review.

Hi Amakuru. I saw the ping to the featured article nomination and just wanted to let you know I am aware of it and appreciate the invitation. I consider myself an okay GA reviewer, but have virtually no experience with featured articles so am not sure how much help I would be. Everynow and then I go through stale GA reviews and sometimes take over any abandoned ones, which is how I came across your nomination. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked it up. I remember it being very well written, but feeling uncomfortable with the way it was weighted. I can't really explain it better than that sorry, I just felt that one side was written as being more at fault than the other. There was nothing overt about it and I am well aware that it must be extremely difficult to write articles of this nature and neutrality for Good Article purposes at least is a range. I also know next to nothing about the war (well more now since I read your article) and it is very possible that the way it was represented is more than fair. If I wanted to really satisfy myself it would involve a lot of source diving so I was quite glad when the original reviewer came back. I am reasonably busy at the moment, but will have another read through when I get time and make some comments. Good luck with the nomination. AIRcorn (talk) 23:51, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi
can I request you review and perhaps reopen the RM re Banistmo? [4]
I'm frankly appalled that the claim a basic simple research denotes "Primer Banco del Istmo" is outdated with no link given to exactly what this search is was apparently considered evidence, and that evidence then was expected to counter this vague claim. None should be needed, IMO. The onus of proof is on the proposers, and I see no evidence at all. Andrewa ( talk) 23:31, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I chose that date because it is the date of publication of the magazine issue pictured. I planned to add more material to the blurb to mention the date of publication.

Hello. Your close at Talk:List of cities seems to be at odds with several Wikipedia policies, among them WP:V (no source has ever been presented that supports any of the settlements being in Israel) and WP:ONUS, which says effectively disputed material is by default out without a consensus. Can you please explain how either of these policies dont apply? nableezy - 21:23, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
"The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content."However, that does not apply in this case, as the disputed content was already in place in the article for many years prior to the recent dispute. Given that fact, and the fact that it wasn't disputed in all that time, there was clearly a tacit consensus for its inclusion. I have absolutely no opinion on whether it is right or wrong to include the cities, but there very clearly was no consensus, and it is the policy at WP:NOCONSENSUS says that
"In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit."which is what I've done here. Thanks — Amakuru ( talk) 21:29, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello
I see that you previously closed a move request for "Liberation of İzmir" to " Turkish capture of Smyrna", yet this seems incorrect to me.
It is argued there that the city having a large Greek population means that Greek control could not be considered occupation. This claim has no basis as those citizens were still Ottoman citizens - it does not matter whether or not they supported Greek control. It is a matter of definition and according to Merriam-Webster, liberation is "the act of liberating", which means "to free (something, such as a country) from domination by a foreign power". The city was invaded by Greece in the Greek landing at Smyrna 3 years before, therefore placing the city under domination of a foreign power. The fact that this control was somehow made valid by "an international treaty" does not erase the events before that and change the fact that the city was invaded by Greece in 1919.
If Turkey invaded Germany, would it matter at all that there are millions of Turks there who might support the Turkish occupation? If Turkey then made the defeated Germany sign a concession treaty, would that simply erase the fact that they invaded Germany? Of course not. Then if Germany took back their land, that would be called liberation as they would have freed the country "from domination by a foreign power."
One user also referenced an article by Neyzi to show that liberation is a POV term, yet that citation only says that the Greeks call it a "disaster" and the Turks call it "liberation". Just because one side involved calls it liberation, that does not make the term "liberation" itself POV in any way. As I have mentioned with the definition of the term, it is a completely objective term that should be used here.
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this.

Thank you for attention for this unusual piece of art. I am not happy with the title format, because I believe we can either say Luther monument or Luther Monument, one being a generic name, the other the title of an artwork. I am not happy with infobox monument unless we can distinguish designer (only Rietschel) and artists (he and the others). We also need the image larger, or don't see a thing.

Greetings!
Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.
It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!
We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!
Thank you once again for being part of this global event!

Yes, the discussion was not finished and there was not consensus. The section above the requested move was in overwhelming support of the request. This section was considered part of the move as it was linked in the original request reason. Andrew Z. Colvin • Talk 22:26, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the Nagano, Nagano close. It must have been a painful task if you have read the whole discussion indeed (but please don't tell ;) ). While "no consensus" could have been an opportune option, it takes a good admin to make the right call and make at least the first cut in the Gordian knot known as
WP:MOSJA. Nobody is happy with the current naming practice, but discussions how to tackle it just go in circles until everyone just gets exhausted and frustrated.
Hope you had a nice vacation, if that was the reason for your recent absence; it felt at RM.

Hey, thank you for wrapping this up. That said, I think adding something about how "a larger discussion about other such titles can be had at the appropriate forum" or some such would keep the neutrals (and perhaps one or two of the opposes) happy, especially given that they were technically right on the procedure (I just have less faith in the procedure than they do).

I note that this diff appears to be a violation of the consensus required before restoration restriction..Also, my personal way to resolve this would be to do "Trump's paternal grandfather, Frederick Trump, first immigrated to the United States in 1885 at the age of 16 and became a citizen in 1892", i.e omit the fact that Trump's grandfather had a different original Germanic name as being irrelevant Galobtter ( pingó mió) 08:43, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
Move requests are based on guidelines and not on vote count, yet none of the supports have provided any evidence to support their claim that this topic is a British topic and that "Black Loungue suit" is the widely known term. Currently, as the article stands, it reads as if this is a German term which should use the German name. I fail to see how a 2-3 move, citing guidelines lacking any backing had a consensus for the move. The onus should be on those arguing for the move. -- Gonnym ( talk) 16:42, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
You've moved John Diggle and Oliver Queen to a disambig page of "Arrowverse". The reason it is "Arrow" is because that is where they first appeared. The fact that they have appeared on another show is irrelevant, because naming conventions ( WP:NCTV) says to put the show name there that they appear on. Those characters are on "Arrow" and have only guest starred on other shows. Not to mention that "Arrowverse" is still a fanmade term. Just as an example, Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), originated on Buffy, starred in his own show later, and isn't listed as "Angel (Angel TV show)" nor "Angel (Buffyverse)" (which is also a page Buffyverse). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:28, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but that is inaccurate. Maybe if you want to argue "simple majority", but if you look it was basically 6 to 4 (in the discussion, but it was 4 to 4 in the actual vote...and it would have been 5 had I known the discussion was taking place). Your examples of Star Trek and Star Wars are not applicable. The reason that most of those exist as simply "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" (the actual names of those shows) is because of the length of official names. It would be ridiculous to say "Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek: The Next Generation), when "jean-luc picard (Star Trek)" does the same on a shorter platform and is just as ambiguous. If there happened to be 2 different Jean-Lucs (unrelated to each other), you could bet it would actually say "ST:TNG" in it. The same with Star Wars that has a sentence in each film's title. That is not the case here, where "Arrow" is not only ambiguous, but shorter than Arrowverse. It's also more widely known as the character on "Arrow" and not the character in the "Arrowverse".

Hi, I noticed that you changed "Alki" to "Al-ki". According to the official Washington State Legislature page, both forms are correct, but the article and the source use "Alki", so that should be how it appears in the hook. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:14, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I just want to warn you about unjustified edit you executed with renaming page Franjo Tuđman Airport Zagreb back to Zagreb Airport and making excuse with discussion from 2016. That time discussion about move was meaningful since airport was just renamed month ago, so that name change still wasnt't implemented on official website and other places (including media and everyday life). That was argument for keeping old name Zagreb Airport. Now, we have totally different case: as I wrote, now it stands clearly Franjo Tuđman Airport Zagreb on official website (you can also make sure, [1]) and on terminal ( [2]). Same case with media and everyday life. Now you can everywhere see Zračna luka Franjo Tuđman (Croatian term for Franjo Tuđman Airport). I hope you see we have clear situtation with name now, so renaming discussions are unnecessarily. Cheers, -- Ernies73 ( talk) 05:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to 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. 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. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

The Barnstar of Integrity |
For singlehandedly stepping up to shoulder the burden of POTD when no one else would. You deserve recognition for your integrity in more ways than one. Your actions, which prompted the previous POTD coordinator to rage quit the project, were reasonable, bold, and in good faith, and were only part of your overall efforts to preserve the integrity of the main page, which in itself deserves great recognition. You didn't do anything wrong, however, and you did not have to take responsibility for the fallout. Nevertheless, you did. While other admins idly bantered back and forth in response, you quietly began taking on the workload, seeking no recognition. Incredible. Thank you for all you do here, Amakuru.

Please reverse your A7 deletion of Kenneth Tobin. It was a bad choice, because the article is not eligible for A7: its first line states that he held the title of "Presidential Professor" which not only is a claim of significance (per A7) but also is likely by itself enough to pass our guidelines for academic notability. The version you deleted sourced that claim in a bad format (external link rather than footnote), but that's not a matter for A7. — David Eppstein ( talk) 21:05, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

As you appear to have been selecting most of the POTDs in recent weeks, and setting up the templates, may I encourage you to put a notification template on the talk page for the relevant article(s) as part of that process. I think I've caught up now for the last few weeks: I've been adding (example) {{ POTD/2018-09-17}} to the bold linked article (and sometimes to the article for the artwork, if different) but if I was doing it sufficiently far in advance, now I see I could have been using {{ UpcomingPOTD}} (which takes two parameters: the file name for the selected image, and the selected date) to solicit improvements from the regular editors of the relevant articles. I know you have been improving the articles yourselves, but there is always a small chance that someone might help you out with one or two of them.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Suicide of Katelyn Davis. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
I understand that your move of Helminths to Parasitic worm followed a page move discussion which was closed as move to "Parasitic worm". However , there is some debate about whether the non-admin closure reflected consensus and whether it should have been closed in the way that it was. Some discussion can be found here. It might be prudent to set the article back to its previous state to see whether we can indeed reach a consensus. Perhaps this time the proposed move should be from Helminths to Parasitic worm .

Although I do think that a term this ambiguous is best served by a DAB, you're arguments about NOTDIC for Burial are probably stronger. However 2 editors have subsequently argued that it should be disambiguated.

Hi Amakuru. I saw the ping to the featured article nomination and just wanted to let you know I am aware of it and appreciate the invitation. I consider myself an okay GA reviewer, but have virtually no experience with featured articles so am not sure how much help I would be. Everynow and then I go through stale GA reviews and sometimes take over any abandoned ones, which is how I came across your nomination. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked it up. I remember it being very well written, but feeling uncomfortable with the way it was weighted. I can't really explain it better than that sorry, I just felt that one side was written as being more at fault than the other. There was nothing overt about it and I am well aware that it must be extremely difficult to write articles of this nature and neutrality for Good Article purposes at least is a range. I also know next to nothing about the war (well more now since I read your article) and it is very possible that the way it was represented is more than fair. If I wanted to really satisfy myself it would involve a lot of source diving so I was quite glad when the original reviewer came back. I am reasonably busy at the moment, but will have another read through when I get time and make some comments. Good luck with the nomination. AIRcorn (talk) 23:51, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi
can I request you review and perhaps reopen the RM re Banistmo? [4]
I'm frankly appalled that the claim a basic simple research denotes "Primer Banco del Istmo" is outdated with no link given to exactly what this search is was apparently considered evidence, and that evidence then was expected to counter this vague claim. None should be needed, IMO. The onus of proof is on the proposers, and I see no evidence at all. Andrewa ( talk) 23:31, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I chose that date because it is the date of publication of the magazine issue pictured. I planned to add more material to the blurb to mention the date of publication.

Hello. Your close at Talk:List of cities seems to be at odds with several Wikipedia policies, among them WP:V (no source has ever been presented that supports any of the settlements being in Israel) and WP:ONUS, which says effectively disputed material is by default out without a consensus. Can you please explain how either of these policies dont apply? nableezy - 21:23, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
"The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content."However, that does not apply in this case, as the disputed content was already in place in the article for many years prior to the recent dispute. Given that fact, and the fact that it wasn't disputed in all that time, there was clearly a tacit consensus for its inclusion. I have absolutely no opinion on whether it is right or wrong to include the cities, but there very clearly was no consensus, and it is the policy at WP:NOCONSENSUS says that
"In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit."which is what I've done here. Thanks — Amakuru ( talk) 21:29, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello
I see that you previously closed a move request for "Liberation of İzmir" to " Turkish capture of Smyrna", yet this seems incorrect to me.
It is argued there that the city having a large Greek population means that Greek control could not be considered occupation. This claim has no basis as those citizens were still Ottoman citizens - it does not matter whether or not they supported Greek control. It is a matter of definition and according to Merriam-Webster, liberation is "the act of liberating", which means "to free (something, such as a country) from domination by a foreign power". The city was invaded by Greece in the Greek landing at Smyrna 3 years before, therefore placing the city under domination of a foreign power. The fact that this control was somehow made valid by "an international treaty" does not erase the events before that and change the fact that the city was invaded by Greece in 1919.
If Turkey invaded Germany, would it matter at all that there are millions of Turks there who might support the Turkish occupation? If Turkey then made the defeated Germany sign a concession treaty, would that simply erase the fact that they invaded Germany? Of course not. Then if Germany took back their land, that would be called liberation as they would have freed the country "from domination by a foreign power."
One user also referenced an article by Neyzi to show that liberation is a POV term, yet that citation only says that the Greeks call it a "disaster" and the Turks call it "liberation". Just because one side involved calls it liberation, that does not make the term "liberation" itself POV in any way. As I have mentioned with the definition of the term, it is a completely objective term that should be used here.
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on this.

Thank you for attention for this unusual piece of art. I am not happy with the title format, because I believe we can either say Luther monument or Luther Monument, one being a generic name, the other the title of an artwork. I am not happy with infobox monument unless we can distinguish designer (only Rietschel) and artists (he and the others). We also need the image larger, or don't see a thing.

Greetings!
Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.
It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!
We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!
Thank you once again for being part of this global event!
