Hey, I would appreciate your insight about the end date of the Assyrian Empire. As far as i know, the Asyrians were defeated by the combined armies of the Babylonians and the Medes at the battle of Nineveh, in 612 BC, then, a certain Ashur-Uballit II ascended the throne at Harran, but was defeated by the same Medo-Babylonian coalition in 610 BC and thus, escaped with the remnants of his army to the Egyptian city of Karkemish. At this point, i.e. after the fall of Harran, Assyria was no longer a state entity and as such, already destroyed, the final attempt to reconquer Harran (in 609 BC) was in fact made by a stateless king with the help of the Egyptian troops. That being said, shouldn't we put the end date of the Assyrian Empire at 610 BC instead of 609 BC ? Thanks in advance for your help. Best.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 00:13, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
The second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.
Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim 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!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2020).
Hi. As you know, we spoke a while back about you adopting me on a semi-official basis. based on that, could you please have a look around WP:History, and let me know what you think of it? I would welcome any input. by the way, I also have mentor/mentee relationship with user CaptainEek as well. however, based on my current role at that WikiProject, I would be glad to seek input from multiple individuals. and since you said that your particular interest here is history, I thought it might be worthwhile to at least initiate this topic for some general possible discussion. please feel free to take a look around. since you edit in this area, is there anything you would like to see added there? or also, are there any ideas, editing activities, possible group efforts, etc, that you might like to bring up on the talk page?? Please feel free to express any thoughts, input, etc to me that you may have. If you reply here, please ping me. thanks! --- Sm8900★ 🌎 03:56, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
hey, since you are already a coordinator at WP:MILHIST, would you be interested in helping out and taking on some role at WP:History? the truth is that your knowledge of editing and historical topics is probably greater than my own. we could make you a coordinator at WP:History. this would not entail any time commitment on your part; you do not need to run the WikiProject in any way, or maintain the page, unless you want to. your main role there would be to be available to any editors who might happen by with specific questions, requests, ideas, etc etc.
the project itself is semi-inactive; our main role is to serve as a talk page and forum for editors who occasionally happen to come by, with various individual questions, requests, ideas, etc etc, of their own, that they might wish to discuss briefly.
the wikiproject can only increase its credibility if we involve more highly-experienced, knowledgable editors like you. If you wish, we could create a task force there for the general area of Military History, and make you the Coordinator for that Task Force. I could post a talk page notice to let people know, and ask for group support for this. there are some people who occasionally disagree with some aspects of my approach to project organization here. by adding a highly credible editor like yourself, we could vastly increase the usefulness, credibility, and broad role for WP:History.
anyway, if you are not sure about adopting this idea, feel free to look around, and think on your own about any role that you might wish to have. I am sure the whole editing community would benefit from any role that you might wish to take on there. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 13:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Re your post, that’s great. Thanks!! Re the multiple edits, that is a good point. I’ll try to be more careful. Thanks! Sm8900 ( talk) 21:58, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi. could you please take a look at this article, when you have a chance? The article is: 2020s in political history. As you can see, this article is one that I have created, in the hopes of providing it as a way for Wikipedia to continuously provide an overview and a chronicle of contemporary history, as events happen. so far, the Wikipedia community seems to have accepted this new type of article for the most part. I would like to do everything I can to make sure this article is formatted logically, and can continue to develop and to be updated periodically.
If you have ideas or comments on the format used, or the content, or the basic article structure, feel free to let know. obviously I am hoping that new articles continue to be created on this basis, for each successive decade as time passes. so that is one reason that I would welcome any input on this. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 12:14, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I suddenly find myself with a lot of free time, and I want to become more adept at Wikipedia contributing. My interests are mostly around business history and military history. I have no experience or skills in coding, but I do have a journalism degree from a "prestigious" program. Thanks in advance, I have a lot of questions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davetheirishguy ( talk • contribs) 18:57, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Iazyges! Okay, I have a number of basic questions that I would like to ask your help with. hopefully, I can learn a lot from you about these topics, and increase my knowledge over time.
I notice that you have edited a number of articles pertaining to ancient history, including various rulers, as well as other historical topics. I have very little experience with editing this area, and would like to learn more. How are you able to edit this area? In other words, how do you perform the basic research needed? I do not have any particular expertise with these areas of history, so generally I leave this to those who are knowledgeable. I am eager to learn some of the basics though.
Okay, so where do you acquire your basic knowledge on this topic as a whole, and what are some of the correct or effective ways to do research in areas of ancient history? or similarly, other past eras like medieval times, etc? do you have a shelf full of in-depth historical books and other works? or do you simply utilize online electronic resources; if so which ones? by the way, do you have some sort of professional training in this area; in other words, are you an educator or researcher, or alternately, do you have formal training in history? (I hope you don't mind me asking.
I hope you will pardon these basic questions. there are some areas of history where I feel very comfortable, and others where I would like to just learn the basics. when it comes to modern history, research seems easy enough; there are numerous online digital archives that provide knowledge on historical figures of modern times. when it comes to ancient times, I am a bit in awe of the editors who display such knowledge and erudition in these areas. Someone had to write articles on topics like ancient Greece, Babylonia, Sumer, etc etc. I am sure I could write an article with a basic average understanding of these topics. but I would like to know how the people who habitually edit these areas are able to do so. Are they all utilizing a collection of scholarly historical books that delve into these areas? Or are there online resources for these eras that are fully sufficient for in-depth research? Or generally, is it usually better if editors of these topics have already received some formal academic training on these topics, in order to approach them sufficiently in-depth?
I truly admire the numerous well-written articles on Wikipedia on these scholarly topics. I know someone had to write these articles; I simply want to learn more about how they were generally able to do so. any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. As the lead coordinator, my goal is to get WP:History moving again. since I do not have any major expertise in these areas, perhaps the best and most beneficial role for me is from the opposite perspective; I can speak for all the editors who approach this area with a desire to learn more and to help to edit, but would like to gain some knowledge before doing so. Once you and I have set up a dialogue to help me increase my knowledge, perhaps we will set up some resources at the WikiProject to provide some similar information, including perhaps an FAQ, in order to help any editors who similarly wish to increase their basic knowledge on the right way to approach these topical areas. I appreciate any help that you could provide. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 12:12, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Okay, time to move ahead with things. I will be adding you officially as a coordinator at WP:History today. After that, I will have a few items relating to this project to discuss with you. for the time being, we can discuss some topics here at your talk page, just to make things easier. however, we will have some discussions at the talk page for the project itself, to make it more visible for others. when I do that, I will usually ping you during the discussion, to let you know whenever there is a comment or question there that is addressed to you. I appreciated your help. thanks! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 12:47, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi! Okay, I have now added you. you are now a coordinator at WP:History. also you are now the sole member of the newly-restored working groups for article assessment, and for article review.
could you please go to the talk page at WP:History, and provide a brief introduction for your work here? or it can be lengthy, if you want. please feel free to tell them; a) what topics you have edited, b) your specific interests and work with ancient history topics. that is highly important. I really want to find ways to open that topic up for newcomers, and to use your existing editing skills and experience to help to shepherd others into finding ways to edit this topic in meaningful ways. c) your work and experience as a coordinator at Milhist. d) some of the things you've seen or learned about successful editing of history, through your role at Milhist. e) anything else you may choose, in order to enable the members to get to know you better, and to hear more about your editing approach.
I hope that sounds good. I'm looking forward to our future efforts. we can proceed incrementally, and step by step, but I think of a few ways that we can move ahead to help make wp:history more of a resource, slowly but surely. I truly appreciate your help, your knowledge, and your support. thanks!! -- Sm8900 ( talk) 15:49, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, I hope you're well
I've just completed my first ever GA review
and would love to have someone far more experienced in GA than me take a look at it - if you have the time, would you mind looking it over and seeing if there's any pointers you can give me, or anything I've missed? I'd really appreciate the help!
The review is over at Talk:Keith Sebelius/GA1 if you're able to take a look.
Thanks so much, Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 20:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
Yesterday, I wrote American Spaces and an editor slapped maintenance templates on it, which I think was unfair. I pinged them on the talk page to resolve it but the editor involved only edits a couple times a year and likely isn't going to be back. I have a DYK nom and a GA nom in process so I don't want these templates to cause a quickfail and I ought not be the one to remove these templates. I'd appreciate a third person to take a look at it and let me know what needs done. Chris Troutman ( talk) 01:39, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Iazyges/Archives/2020, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
