Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review

Thanks. I work under the general understanding, the custom it seems, that if you create an article you can't—and shouldn't—really rate it any higher than start-class. Daniel Case ( talk) 22:32, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Someone popped by my DYK nom for the article and suggested that, for the ALT3 hook which mentions the miner's strike, if it were as I suggested to run on March 6, the 40th anniversary of the miner's strike beginning, which as I said will probably generate some coverage in the British media and thus increase interest in the hook, it might be better to take it out of the DYK queue and nominate it for GA since that way it would be fresher by then.
I admit I'm thinking about this more and more since no one's reviewed the nom in the almost-month since I made it. As I indicated, back in December it mattered less since I had plenty of hooks, but now, with that date just over two months away ... it might have just enough time to work.
Do you think there's time to nominate it, get it reviewed and promoted, and then through DYK? I don't know what the turnover is with song GA noms ... it seems that noms about, say, Taylor Swift or Meghan Trainor songs are getting reviewed quickly, but I don't know about 40-year-old Sting songs. And I'd like it to be reviewed by someone with the freshest eyes possible, i.e., who hasn't worked on it even a little. Daniel Case ( talk) 23:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Jarble ( talk) 17:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

On 6 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article We Work the Black Seam, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Sting wrote " We Work the Black Seam" because he felt that "the case for coal was never put to the nation" during the 1984–85 British miners' strike (which began 40 years ago today)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/We Work the Black Seam. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, We Work the Black Seam), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
