Hi Ealdgyth -- I realise this is sledgehammer–nut territory, but if you had a moment could you try to assist Buddicca, a historically inclined newbie who is trying to write about Draft:Ascelin de Waterville, an Anglo-Norman landholder, and has got an off-putting decline at Articles for Creation.

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!

On 13 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nigel Fossard, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Nigel Fossard did not mention his wife's name in a charter, but did mention the name of the king and queen of England? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Nigel Fossard. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Nigel Fossard), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

Thank you for reviewing Battle of Cedar Creek. I will try to get to it later today or tomorrow. I may need more of your opinion on some things. For example, when reading about the battle, I wondered why Sheridan (arrived at 10:30) took so long to counterattack (nearly 4:00 pm). That was the reason for blue box under "Early's fatal halt". Perhaps there is a better way to handle it, such as moving it to under "Union counterattack". I have no problem dropping "fatal" from "Early's fatal halt. However, the term "fatal halt" came from Gordon, and historians such as Wert and Bohannon use the term "fatal halt". Otherwise, cool that you have famous Civil War relatives.

I am hoping there is just a misunderstanding, but could you provide any feedback at Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020#Thoughts about non-FAR rewrites? SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 15:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi Ealdgyth, I was thinking about doing a total rewrite of this article like I did with the Armenian genocide one. Pretty much the entire Holocaust article could stand to be rewritten based on newer and/or better sources. To ensure balanced coverage, I was planning to base the article on well regarded books that give an overview of the topic, such as the following:
Since I don't enjoy arguing over every edit, I would plan on drafting the new version of the article in my userspace and then replacing the current article when I'm done with the rewrite. Furthermore, since article topic is based on a definable subject not a term, the article's topic would be "genocide of Jews during World War II" as opposed to "all mass killings by Nazi Germany" (a worthy but distinct article topic, covered collectively in a recent book). I think this distinction would be better served by a hatnote than the current article structure. Does this seem like a workable plan to you? ( t · c) buidhe 05:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the GA review of Mary Clarke (letter writer)! I was wondering if an article this short could go to FA, what do you think? I can do a deep dive to make it more comprehensive but it might well already contain all there is about her. Ann Smith (activist) which you also GA reviewed would be another possibility.

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Nikolai Gennadievich Nazarov reported by User:Doug Weller (Result: ) Doug Weller talk 20:24, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I saw you reverted an IP on Rollo making unsourced family claims. Because of the unsourced edit I checked their edit history and found the article I linked in the subject headline, and they seem to have been adding the same original research, only more substantional as it has gone unchecked for months. In fact there appears to be several IP editors there doing the same thing. I reverted their most recent unsourced edits, and will be taking a look at it more later once I have time, and since you are likely more knowledgeable about the subject than me I was wondering if you wanted to help by taking a look assuming you are able and have the time. On first glance I can see the same claims made about Rollo on the article, unsourced which will be my first step to remove. The issue is that there seems to be way more than that which is either incorrect or original research. The article likely needs a bit of cleanup, if not full reversal to a earlier state. Cheers.

Hi! I am planning to take Louis H. Bean, a short biography of a pollster, to FAC sometime in future. I have probably used most of the scholarly sources available. One of the source I use is this, an interview of Bean by Jerry N. Hess. It does have lot of information on his career, but I have not used it extensively as it is after all an interview. I don't want the article to be "Louis H. Bean by Louis H. Bean". Would that be an issue for comprehensiveness and/or sourcing during the FAC? Do you have any other suggestion on sourcing or anything?

I am hoping there is just a misunderstanding, but could you provide any feedback at Wikipedia talk:Unreviewed featured articles/2020#Thoughts about non-FAR rewrites? SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 15:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi Ealdgyth, I was thinking about doing a total rewrite of this article like I did with the Armenian genocide one. Pretty much the entire Holocaust article could stand to be rewritten based on newer and/or better sources. To ensure balanced coverage, I was planning to base the article on well regarded books that give an overview of the topic, such as the following:
Since I don't enjoy arguing over every edit, I would plan on drafting the new version of the article in my userspace and then replacing the current article when I'm done with the rewrite. Furthermore, since article topic is based on a definable subject not a term, the article's topic would be "genocide of Jews during World War II" as opposed to "all mass killings by Nazi Germany" (a worthy but distinct article topic, covered collectively in a recent book). I think this distinction would be better served by a hatnote than the current article structure. Does this seem like a workable plan to you? ( t · c) buidhe 05:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

...is there any indication that this is a reliable source? Related discussion, I am looking to see whether it can be used to source the etymology of Curtis Island (New Zealand) - this one seems reliable but I can't access the critical bit. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 09:12, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the GA review of Mary Clarke (letter writer)! I was wondering if an article this short could go to FA, what do you think? I can do a deep dive to make it more comprehensive but it might well already contain all there is about her. Ann Smith (activist) which you also GA reviewed would be another possibility.

Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Nikolai Gennadievich Nazarov reported by User:Doug Weller (Result: ) Doug Weller talk 20:24, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I saw you reverted an IP on Rollo making unsourced family claims. Because of the unsourced edit I checked their edit history and found the article I linked in the subject headline, and they seem to have been adding the same original research, only more substantional as it has gone unchecked for months. In fact there appears to be several IP editors there doing the same thing. I reverted their most recent unsourced edits, and will be taking a look at it more later once I have time, and since you are likely more knowledgeable about the subject than me I was wondering if you wanted to help by taking a look assuming you are able and have the time. On first glance I can see the same claims made about Rollo on the article, unsourced which will be my first step to remove. The issue is that there seems to be way more than that which is either incorrect or original research. The article likely needs a bit of cleanup, if not full reversal to a earlier state. Cheers.

Hi! I am planning to take Louis H. Bean, a short biography of a pollster, to FAC sometime in future. I have probably used most of the scholarly sources available. One of the source I use is this, an interview of Bean by Jerry N. Hess. It does have lot of information on his career, but I have not used it extensively as it is after all an interview. I don't want the article to be "Louis H. Bean by Louis H. Bean". Would that be an issue for comprehensiveness and/or sourcing during the FAC? Do you have any other suggestion on sourcing or anything? Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh ( talk) 15:55, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
