The 1987 FA Cup Final was an association football match between Coventry City and Tottenham Hotspur on 16 May 1987 at Wembley Stadium in London to determine the winner of the 1986–87 FA Cup. Neil Midgley refereed the match in front of a crowd of 96,000. Two minutes after kick-off, Tottenham took the lead with a headed goal by Clive Allen. The scores were level seven minutes later when Dave Bennett scored for Coventry. Five minutes before half-time a free kick was touched on by Gary Mabbutt to again give Tottenham the lead. Keith Houchen equalised for Coventry with a diving header, the only goal of the second half; this was later selected as the BBC Goal of the Season. During extra time a cross from a Coventry player looped off the left knee of Tottenham's Gary Mabbutt for an own goal resulting in a final score of 3–2 to Coventry. BBC commentator John Motson called the match "the finest Cup Final I've had the pleasure of commentating on".

Hi, I hope you had a good vacation. Just to let you know that the DiCaprio FAC was archived due to issues with source-to-text integrity. As you had some reservation about the prose and did some copy editing, I was wondering if you’d like to finish it. Since there’s no hurry, you can take as much time as you want. I don’t know if and when I’ll renominate it but there’s no reason why we still can’t improve it further. Let me know if you’re still interested. FrB.TG ( talk) 12:16, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

another Ukraine day today: Maks Levin DYK, expanding Kyiv Symphony Orchestra (have tickets), and creating Anthony Robin Schneider, the bass who could be heard opening the singing in Beethoven's Ninth twice on 10 March 2022, live in Frankfurt, Germany, and recorded in Auckland, New Zealand, singing "Freiheit!"

Both POTD and DYK queue moves currently have a problem. Template:POTD/2022-05-04 this may or may not seem to have been created when you look at it, but exists, as you can see by attempting to edit it. A similar problem with the whale vocalization for the previous day's POTD was solved by "purging" it, but this does not seem to have worked today, and to me anyway, the Sheldonian is present but invisible.

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Thank you today for 1987 FA Cup Final, introduced: "Possibly the most entertaining FA Cup final ever. Two teams going at each other pretty much from minute 1 to minute 120, and trust me, plenty of the tackles would have been yellow, if not red cards these days! Some great goals, an exhilarating match, a triumphant underdog, and if we're all honest, always lovely to see Glenn Hoddle lose."! Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:55, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

I think I'd like to do sets somewhat systematically. For example, I set up the three remaining Hunting of the Snark images for Template:POTD/2022-06-19, Template:POTD/2022-07-19, and Template:POTD/2022-08-19 - Which schedules them, spaces them out and we're done with them, and they were a lot easier to write in one go than they would have been otherwise. You have any experience setting up the money things? If we can get the money set up for every, say, 28th, using small sets of images as much as possible? Probably don't need to set 'em all up now, but if we're not going to just dump a 50-image set onto the main page (which seems rude) we kind of need to be systematic or we're never going to get through them. We're currently set up for the next month, which is a start. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 14:20, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

I pulled myself out of the discussion, but it looks like Fram is trying very hard to reel me and others back in with comments such as "DYK should get their collective head out of their asses and start realizing that their playground actually is shown on the main page." I only kept on responding because, in my experience, those who point out errors with DYK can be as mean as they want. However, only the people who take issue with such a thing are told to back down. Your comment referring to both of us was actually refreshing. SL93 ( talk) 10:52, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

I was about to post this at ERRORS about the Viaud Ridge hook, but I had an edit conflict when the entire discussion was removed - "I promoted it based on the GEBSCO source which I could have sworn was in the article, but I didn't think of it being vague until Fram mentioned it. There are two alt hooks so maybe one of those will work?" I guess it's a moot issue now though. SL93 ( talk) 12:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

That is normally automatically done, and a note comes up saying if it has or has not been done". I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I'll leave that for you to determine, as you probably know much more than me about moving pages. Aidan9382 ( talk) 14:26, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Amakuru, first off thanks for closing the move discussion at Talk:Port Elizabeth. I dont really disagree with "no consensus" as the close, though I do find that an admin, any admin even if it is an admin I hold in high regard such as yourself, can "impose" a moratorium on further discussion for any length of time. Especially on the basis of a "no consensus" and not a "consensus against" closure. Absent discretionary sanctions being authorized for a topic, and that does not seem to be the case here, I dont really understand under what authority such a moratorium can be imposed by a single admin. My understanding of "no consensus" has always meant more discussion trying to draw in more and more people so that we may come to a consensus, and invariably those who advocate for moratoriums on such discussions do so with the aim of maintaining their preferred position as the status quo. Since there is no consensus for the move, and not a consensus against it, Id ask that you remove that moratorium from the close and allow for our usual process to play out as needed without artificial constraints on discussion. nableezy - 15:49, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Dear Amakuru, I was puzzled by your edit to this article, and your rationale that "edit to more neutral language is eminently sensible". I am aware that another contributor to this discussion, Mathsci, is under discussion elsewhere in Wikipedia. The issue here however can (and should) be considered independently of any dispute over Mathsci - as I hope you will agree by looking at my contributions, and the comments by Smasongarrison, on the Alkan talkpage. This article was brought to WP:FA status with the text "Stephanie McCallum has suggested that Alkan may have suffered from Asperger syndrome, schizophrenia or obsessive–compulsive disorder." There is nothing non-neutral or offensive in this wording, which is standard English usage. It does not offend either Alkan or any other person who has these conditions. When Smasongarrison was asked by me to justify their assertion that this language was unacceptable on Wikipedia, they declined to do so on the grounds that "I don't have the bandwidth to itemize" the points I raised. Moreoveer, despite my objection and the absence of any consensus in their favour on the talk page, Smasongarrison then repeated their edit; (which was reverted by Mathsci before you reinstated it).
It is not a principle of Wikipedia that editors should have to adapt their language simply according to the preferences of others; nor have I received any demonstration or elaboration that the text as it stands offends any WP standards. Nor did the comments of Smasongarrison receive any support on the Alkan talk-page. Moreover, as you will be aware, any sanctions taken against Mathsci do not mean that any of his edits can be automatically reverted as a consequence. I have therefore reverted your edit. I am of course perfectly happy to enage in a discussion of the principles involved here if you wish.-- Smerus ( talk) 15:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Dear Amakuru, it perhaps escaped your notice that WP:SUFFER (as noted at the top of the relevant page) is specifically related to medical articles: "This is the style guide for editing medical articles. The general rules from the Wikipedia:Manual of Style also apply when writing medical articles." It does not apply to the CVA article, which cannot be described in any way as a medical article. There is no generic propscription in WP of using the word "suffered", which is not in itself inhibited by the WP Manual of Style for articles other than medical. I have therefore reverted your edit, which is not justified by the WP style guide. You may not like it much, butas it happens I do. The only only other comments on the talk page were from Mathsci, who agrred with me, and Smasongarisson who declined to justify the edit, orginally made by them. If you wish to continue this discussion I suggest you set up an RfC. Best, -- Smerus ( talk) 12:33, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I am coming to you because you have been on wikipedia a long time, but also mostly because of your name, Amakuru.
I am having a difficult time learning and understanding some things and something just happened that has caused me great confusion. I have asked others in many other places for help but not receiving replies.
Recently I updated the Tanzania Music Awards for the 2022 show. Almost none of the musicians had pages to wikilink. I wanted to fix this and decided to start by making a page for Marioo. I am being asked if I am being paid by him. I only want to make pages for the award winning musicians in Tanzania, and eventually all Great Lakes. As award winners, they are notable and people should be allowed to learn of them. I do not know how to prove I am not being paid.
In reading my writing, I see there is much for me to learn about writing for an enclipedia. My tone I think is very bad. I want to work on this, but I am afraid all my work will be deleted. I want to be able to wiki link notable award winners in the lakes very badly. Can you offer me any advice? Is my hope impossible? Thank you for any guidance. BevoLJ ( talk) 19:51, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am asking for more information about your comment at Talk:Kelly Sweet because I do not believe that you have clearly expressed your reasons for opposing this requested move, and since you are the only user so far to have voted on this discussion. The specific information that I would like to receive is: what evidence is lacking between the relationship of Kelly Sweet and Haliene? The reason why you have opposed the move is because there is no evidence that the Kelly Sweet described on the page is Haliene. If this was not actually true, then we would definitely not be covering both of them on the same page. You also say that this should be confirmed through reliable sources, and the first source used on the page definitely confirms this link. Again, we would not be covering the two of them on the same page if we were not aware of this link. Please note that I am not asking you to change your vote, but just to clarify your reasonings for the vote. Thanks, Mori Calliope fan talk 02:25, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

This was an interesting RM, while the rock meaning is likely not primary by usage it may be per long-term significance. Interestingly the unit looks like it isn't normally pluralized and I've only heard it in the singular namely something weighs "3 stone" not something weighs "3 stones" so per WP:PLURALPT there may have been a case for keeping the plural going to the rock even if the singular didn't and I did wander about only having no primary topic for the singular but though it would be best to do both. While Rock is clearly ambiguous Rocks isn't really especially in an encyclopedia as things like "it rocks" wouldn't matter much. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 10:17, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

(freedom) instead of "Freude" (joy), in a tradition started after the Fall of the Wall. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 15:41, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
Both POTD and DYK queue moves currently have a problem. Template:POTD/2022-05-04 this may or may not seem to have been created when you look at it, but exists, as you can see by attempting to edit it. A similar problem with the whale vocalization for the previous day's POTD was solved by "purging" it, but this does not seem to have worked today, and to me anyway, the Sheldonian is present but invisible.

The second round of the 2022 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 115 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top seven contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 11 featured articles and the 79 good articles achieved in total by contestants.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured and good article reviews require the review to be of sufficient length; brief quick fails and very short reviews will generally not be awarded points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Thank you today for 1987 FA Cup Final, introduced: "Possibly the most entertaining FA Cup final ever. Two teams going at each other pretty much from minute 1 to minute 120, and trust me, plenty of the tackles would have been yellow, if not red cards these days! Some great goals, an exhilarating match, a triumphant underdog, and if we're all honest, always lovely to see Glenn Hoddle lose."! Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:55, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
Hey! During your moving of
Talk:Notre-Dame fire, you forgot to update the archive location. All you need to do is adjust the |archive=
parameter in the {{User:MizaBot/Config}}
template to the new page name. Don't worry, I've fixed this for you. Just keep this in mind if you move a page in the future. Thanks!

I think I'd like to do sets somewhat systematically. For example, I set up the three remaining Hunting of the Snark images for Template:POTD/2022-06-19, Template:POTD/2022-07-19, and Template:POTD/2022-08-19 - Which schedules them, spaces them out and we're done with them, and they were a lot easier to write in one go than they would have been otherwise. You have any experience setting up the money things? If we can get the money set up for every, say, 28th, using small sets of images as much as possible? Probably don't need to set 'em all up now, but if we're not going to just dump a 50-image set onto the main page (which seems rude) we kind of need to be systematic or we're never going to get through them. We're currently set up for the next month, which is a start. Adam Cuerden ( talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 14:20, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

I pulled myself out of the discussion, but it looks like Fram is trying very hard to reel me and others back in with comments such as "DYK should get their collective head out of their asses and start realizing that their playground actually is shown on the main page." I only kept on responding because, in my experience, those who point out errors with DYK can be as mean as they want. However, only the people who take issue with such a thing are told to back down. Your comment referring to both of us was actually refreshing. SL93 ( talk) 10:52, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

I was about to post this at ERRORS about the Viaud Ridge hook, but I had an edit conflict when the entire discussion was removed - "I promoted it based on the GEBSCO source which I could have sworn was in the article, but I didn't think of it being vague until Fram mentioned it. There are two alt hooks so maybe one of those will work?" I guess it's a moot issue now though. SL93 ( talk) 12:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

That is normally automatically done, and a note comes up saying if it has or has not been done". I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I'll leave that for you to determine, as you probably know much more than me about moving pages. Aidan9382 ( talk) 14:26, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Amakuru, first off thanks for closing the move discussion at Talk:Port Elizabeth. I dont really disagree with "no consensus" as the close, though I do find that an admin, any admin even if it is an admin I hold in high regard such as yourself, can "impose" a moratorium on further discussion for any length of time. Especially on the basis of a "no consensus" and not a "consensus against" closure. Absent discretionary sanctions being authorized for a topic, and that does not seem to be the case here, I dont really understand under what authority such a moratorium can be imposed by a single admin. My understanding of "no consensus" has always meant more discussion trying to draw in more and more people so that we may come to a consensus, and invariably those who advocate for moratoriums on such discussions do so with the aim of maintaining their preferred position as the status quo. Since there is no consensus for the move, and not a consensus against it, Id ask that you remove that moratorium from the close and allow for our usual process to play out as needed without artificial constraints on discussion. nableezy - 15:49, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

I was just about to reply to you at Errors (in fact, the reply window was already open) when I was pulled away from my desk for a good hour. And now it's gone from the main page.

Dear Amakuru, I was puzzled by your edit to this article, and your rationale that "edit to more neutral language is eminently sensible". I am aware that another contributor to this discussion, Mathsci, is under discussion elsewhere in Wikipedia. The issue here however can (and should) be considered independently of any dispute over Mathsci - as I hope you will agree by looking at my contributions, and the comments by Smasongarrison, on the Alkan talkpage. This article was brought to WP:FA status with the text "Stephanie McCallum has suggested that Alkan may have suffered from Asperger syndrome, schizophrenia or obsessive–compulsive disorder." There is nothing non-neutral or offensive in this wording, which is standard English usage. It does not offend either Alkan or any other person who has these conditions. When Smasongarrison was asked by me to justify their assertion that this language was unacceptable on Wikipedia, they declined to do so on the grounds that "I don't have the bandwidth to itemize" the points I raised. Moreoveer, despite my objection and the absence of any consensus in their favour on the talk page, Smasongarrison then repeated their edit; (which was reverted by Mathsci before you reinstated it).
It is not a principle of Wikipedia that editors should have to adapt their language simply according to the preferences of others; nor have I received any demonstration or elaboration that the text as it stands offends any WP standards. Nor did the comments of Smasongarrison receive any support on the Alkan talk-page. Moreover, as you will be aware, any sanctions taken against Mathsci do not mean that any of his edits can be automatically reverted as a consequence. I have therefore reverted your edit. I am of course perfectly happy to enage in a discussion of the principles involved here if you wish.-- Smerus ( talk) 15:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Dear Amakuru, it perhaps escaped your notice that WP:SUFFER (as noted at the top of the relevant page) is specifically related to medical articles: "This is the style guide for editing medical articles. The general rules from the Wikipedia:Manual of Style also apply when writing medical articles." It does not apply to the CVA article, which cannot be described in any way as a medical article. There is no generic propscription in WP of using the word "suffered", which is not in itself inhibited by the WP Manual of Style for articles other than medical. I have therefore reverted your edit, which is not justified by the WP style guide. You may not like it much, butas it happens I do. The only only other comments on the talk page were from Mathsci, who agrred with me, and Smasongarisson who declined to justify the edit, orginally made by them. If you wish to continue this discussion I suggest you set up an RfC. Best, -- Smerus ( talk) 12:33, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I am coming to you because you have been on wikipedia a long time, but also mostly because of your name, Amakuru.
I am having a difficult time learning and understanding some things and something just happened that has caused me great confusion. I have asked others in many other places for help but not receiving replies.
Recently I updated the Tanzania Music Awards for the 2022 show. Almost none of the musicians had pages to wikilink. I wanted to fix this and decided to start by making a page for Marioo. I am being asked if I am being paid by him. I only want to make pages for the award winning musicians in Tanzania, and eventually all Great Lakes. As award winners, they are notable and people should be allowed to learn of them. I do not know how to prove I am not being paid.
In reading my writing, I see there is much for me to learn about writing for an enclipedia. My tone I think is very bad. I want to work on this, but I am afraid all my work will be deleted. I want to be able to wiki link notable award winners in the lakes very badly. Can you offer me any advice? Is my hope impossible? Thank you for any guidance. BevoLJ ( talk) 19:51, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am asking for more information about your comment at Talk:Kelly Sweet because I do not believe that you have clearly expressed your reasons for opposing this requested move, and since you are the only user so far to have voted on this discussion. The specific information that I would like to receive is: what evidence is lacking between the relationship of Kelly Sweet and Haliene? The reason why you have opposed the move is because there is no evidence that the Kelly Sweet described on the page is Haliene. If this was not actually true, then we would definitely not be covering both of them on the same page. You also say that this should be confirmed through reliable sources, and the first source used on the page definitely confirms this link. Again, we would not be covering the two of them on the same page if we were not aware of this link. Please note that I am not asking you to change your vote, but just to clarify your reasonings for the vote. Thanks, Mori Calliope fan talk 02:25, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

This was an interesting RM, while the rock meaning is likely not primary by usage it may be per long-term significance. Interestingly the unit looks like it isn't normally pluralized and I've only heard it in the singular namely something weighs "3 stone" not something weighs "3 stones" so per WP:PLURALPT there may have been a case for keeping the plural going to the rock even if the singular didn't and I did wander about only having no primary topic for the singular but though it would be best to do both. While Rock is clearly ambiguous Rocks isn't really especially in an encyclopedia as things like "it rocks" wouldn't matter much. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 10:17, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
