This issue's reader suggestion from Sennecaster:
One topic I've been broadly thinking about lately is the concept of GA sweeps. There hasn't been one in well over a decade; discussion of a new one is traditionally stymied by the sheer number of GAs that would need sweeping, considering there are over ten times as many as there were at the last sweep. Nonetheless, there's no dispute that many GAs don't really count as 99.5th percentile articles, or even decent-quality articles (whether one's own personal reading of WIAGA is closer to the former or the latter, and how different those things are, is an exercise for the reader). I've been brainstorming ideas, and I've been wondering if we can tackle the problem with limited-scope sweeps. One idea would be sweeping popular or vital articles -- those that get enough views to make up a significant proportion of the "GA experience" to readers. Another would be focusing on shorter GAs, which might trend towards a less in-depth treatment of the topic than could really justify the rating. There may very well be a path here to maintaining GA standards, and either of those would have the benefit that they might be more likely to encourage people to work on rather than simply delist articles -- popular topics with lots of interested parties willing to help, or smaller topics that don't seem like too big a challenge to pick up.

I would like to put some valid criticisms/controversies on particular pages in the interest of intellectual fairness and transparency. I noticed my edits on a particular page were taken down due to not being considered (let us be fair and call it what it is) reliable sources.
I would genuinely like to know what sources are considered genuine in the hopes that I can find those criticisms/controversies and have them properly kept on the article. This is a step to show that there isn't a bias on Wikipedia and ALL intellectual discoveries that are factual will be kept on here. There should also be an agreement that if reliable sources of these criticisms/controversies are brought forth, that the edits will stay on the page and will show the honesty, integrity, and mature attitude that I wish to see here on Wikipedia :)

Hello,
I saw a notification that my user profile page is being reviewed. I am confused about why my user profile page is being reviewed, maybe you can help me understand? I do not recally any curse words, drug references, or anything of that nature on my profile so hopefully it will be seen as my information that I am allowed to post regarding myself, just as you are allowed to create a profile page about yourself.
Here is hoping we can figure out what is going on and come to a respectful consensus.

Thanks for adding the photo. I had found that earlier, but cam to the conclusion that we couldn't use it because of the licensing. But, we'll see if anybody objects, I guess. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:50, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Do you happen to know of any acceptable source that has vote total/ percent data for old ( Pre 1900) US house elections by district? A lot of articles on US house elections are missing district level data, and the only source that I can easily find is Ourcampaigns, which is generally unreliable. There's one book I could find on it, but it's not available online AFAIK and it's not at my local library. Jackattack1597 ( talk) 18:02, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
I was trying out navigation popups; among other things, it provides a preview of a user's page when their name is moused over. For some reason, yours showed up as code:
{"batchcomplete":true,"warnings":{"main":{"warnings":"Subscribe to the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list at for notice of API deprecations and breaking changes. Use Special:ApiFeatureUsage to see usage of deprecated features by your application."},"revisions":{"warnings":"Because \"rvslots\" was not specified, a legacy format has been used for the output. This format is deprecated, and in the future the new format will always be used."}},"query":{"pages":[{"pageid":42023907,"ns":2,"title":"User:Elli","revisions":[{"revid":1025556903,"parentid":1024976117,"minor":true,"user":"Elli","timestamp":"2021-05-28T06:37:27Z","contentformat":"application/json","contentmodel":"json","content":"{\n \"Name\": \"Elli\"
... and so on. The page itself looks fine; it's simply the preview in popups. None of the other 30 or 40 user pages I looked at appeared this way, and it happened in both Safari and Firefox. I haven't a clue how popular the option is; it may be that few people use popups, and it's not worth tinkering with the page. In any case, I thought you might like to know.

Hey - just stopping by to thank you for the 'thanks' regarding the article I wrote ( Capital punishment in the Gambia). Thank you for the review as well. It's always nice to get that kind of encouragement! I plan on writing other similar articles in the future, especially for African countries, although I don't know if I'll get as lucky as I did with the Gambia in finding so many sources to build such a fleshed-out article lol.

Hi Elli, I was making a .svg cartogram of House seats in each state, so that every seat is clearly visible and can be identified. I intend to put them somewhere in the 2020 United States House of Representatives election page and similar pages when ready, as in the actual map version it's almost impossible to identify tiny districts and the gerrymandered ones. But here's the issue, I went through the source code of Infobox maps in 2021 United States elections, 2020 United States elections among others and it turns out that every second map uses somewhat different color scheme. So can you please help me by letting me know the actual color scheme and redirecting me to the actual color scheme template (if it exists). Thanks. Cheers! CX Zoom ( talk) 18:18, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, the image for 1924 United States gubernatorial elections has an error: Ohio is a republican hold when it should be a democratic hold. The original creator has had their account suspended, so I figured you would be a good person to ask given your work on the other gubernatorial elections. If you could fix it it would be much appreciated. Thanks! - Mad Mismagius ( talk) 20:59, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors ( User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — xaosflux Talk 15:01, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, I was looking at recent changes, and noticed that you are reviewing a lot of pages very quickly. Some of the pages you marked as reviewed don't have any sources, such as Boʻz District, Bagʻdod District and Dangʻara District.

Hello, Elli,
Whenever you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/MFD/TFD/etc.), please post a notification on the talk page of the page creator so they are aware of the deletion and also, the reason why a page has been tagged for deletion. Otherwise, they will not be aware of problems that existed and they might try to recreate the page. I find it useful to use Twinkle to tag pages because after you set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator", the program will post these notices for you which makes things easy. Thank you for your work. Liz Read! Talk! 21:05, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, I need your help again. I just made some new templates among which are these three: {{ Party shading/Text/Democratic}}, {{ Party shading/Text/Republican}} and {{ Party shading/Text/None}}. You can find their usage here: [1]. Basically, it is a template that shades a table cell with the party shading colors and returns the party name as text, however a customised text may also be produced by using the first (and only) parameter. I made them to reduce article sizes and reduce the chances of committing mistakes in tables, i.e., mismatch of colors & party name. Can you please add a documentation like in most {{ Party shading/Democratic}} type templates, categorise them accordingly and also change template names if required. Actually, I don't have much experience in categorising these type of templates. Thanks. Cheers! --- CX Zoom(he/him) ( let's talk| contribs) 14:13, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the photo. I had found that earlier, but cam to the conclusion that we couldn't use it because of the licensing. But, we'll see if anybody objects, I guess. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:50, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Do you happen to know of any acceptable source that has vote total/ percent data for old ( Pre 1900) US house elections by district? A lot of articles on US house elections are missing district level data, and the only source that I can easily find is Ourcampaigns, which is generally unreliable. There's one book I could find on it, but it's not available online AFAIK and it's not at my local library. Jackattack1597 ( talk) 18:02, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
I was trying out navigation popups; among other things, it provides a preview of a user's page when their name is moused over. For some reason, yours showed up as code:
{"batchcomplete":true,"warnings":{"main":{"warnings":"Subscribe to the mediawiki-api-announce mailing list at for notice of API deprecations and breaking changes. Use Special:ApiFeatureUsage to see usage of deprecated features by your application."},"revisions":{"warnings":"Because \"rvslots\" was not specified, a legacy format has been used for the output. This format is deprecated, and in the future the new format will always be used."}},"query":{"pages":[{"pageid":42023907,"ns":2,"title":"User:Elli","revisions":[{"revid":1025556903,"parentid":1024976117,"minor":true,"user":"Elli","timestamp":"2021-05-28T06:37:27Z","contentformat":"application/json","contentmodel":"json","content":"{\n \"Name\": \"Elli\"
... and so on. The page itself looks fine; it's simply the preview in popups. None of the other 30 or 40 user pages I looked at appeared this way, and it happened in both Safari and Firefox. I haven't a clue how popular the option is; it may be that few people use popups, and it's not worth tinkering with the page. In any case, I thought you might like to know.

Hey - just stopping by to thank you for the 'thanks' regarding the article I wrote ( Capital punishment in the Gambia). Thank you for the review as well. It's always nice to get that kind of encouragement! I plan on writing other similar articles in the future, especially for African countries, although I don't know if I'll get as lucky as I did with the Gambia in finding so many sources to build such a fleshed-out article lol. Take care! :) Afddiary ( talk) 16:05, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for creating ISIS flag.
User:Tamzin, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:
Huh. How was that not a redirect yet? P.S. You might wanna get Flag of ISIS too. ( ISIL flag and Flag of ISIL already points to the same place as this.)

Hi Elli, I was making a .svg cartogram of House seats in each state, so that every seat is clearly visible and can be identified. I intend to put them somewhere in the 2020 United States House of Representatives election page and similar pages when ready, as in the actual map version it's almost impossible to identify tiny districts and the gerrymandered ones. But here's the issue, I went through the source code of Infobox maps in 2021 United States elections, 2020 United States elections among others and it turns out that every second map uses somewhat different color scheme. So can you please help me by letting me know the actual color scheme and redirecting me to the actual color scheme template (if it exists). Thanks. Cheers! CX Zoom ( talk) 18:18, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, the image for 1924 United States gubernatorial elections has an error: Ohio is a republican hold when it should be a democratic hold. The original creator has had their account suspended, so I figured you would be a good person to ask given your work on the other gubernatorial elections. If you could fix it it would be much appreciated. Thanks! - Mad Mismagius ( talk) 20:59, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors ( User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! — xaosflux Talk 15:01, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, I was looking at recent changes, and noticed that you are reviewing a lot of pages very quickly. Some of the pages you marked as reviewed don't have any sources, such as Boʻz District, Bagʻdod District and Dangʻara District. At the least, these should be tagged with {{unsourced}} while reviewing. Thaks, Laplorfill ( talk) 05:44, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli. In this revert, you claimed to be removing parenthetical referencing, which is indeed deprecated, but in fact you removed footnote references, which are not. I am therefore restoring the previous citation style. Kanguole 08:53, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Elli,
Whenever you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/MFD/TFD/etc.), please post a notification on the talk page of the page creator so they are aware of the deletion and also, the reason why a page has been tagged for deletion. Otherwise, they will not be aware of problems that existed and they might try to recreate the page. I find it useful to use Twinkle to tag pages because after you set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator", the program will post these notices for you which makes things easy. Thank you for your work. Liz Read! Talk! 21:05, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Elli, I need your help again. I just made some new templates among which are these three: {{ Party shading/Text/Democratic}}, {{ Party shading/Text/Republican}} and {{ Party shading/Text/None}}. You can find their usage here: [1]. Basically, it is a template that shades a table cell with the party shading colors and returns the party name as text, however a customised text may also be produced by using the first (and only) parameter. I made them to reduce article sizes and reduce the chances of committing mistakes in tables, i.e., mismatch of colors & party name. Can you please add a documentation like in most {{ Party shading/Democratic}} type templates, categorise them accordingly and also change template names if required. Actually, I don't have much experience in categorising these type of templates. Thanks. Cheers! --- CX Zoom(he/him) ( let's talk| contribs) 14:13, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/A Beast the Color of Winter. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, A Beast the Color of Winter), 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.
