Hello, I noticed that you reverted my edits regarding the landlocked status of Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico in their respective articles. Thanks for assuming good faith and acknowledging relevance, but mentioning the landlocked status is important for geography. I’d like to say that the other state articles I edited to include the landlocked status in the lead still have those edits, meaning they were relevant and appropriate. As these states are indeed landlocked, I request that you reconsider your reverts. If you have any questions feel free to ask, thanks! DirtySocks357(WreckItRalph) ( talk) 00:26, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
I added the politician's criminal history. Two citations were added - one from the arresting police department's own website (Chicago Police Department), and another from a major NY newspaper which also references the arrest.

First and foremost, thank you so much for the exceptionally kind barnstar you left on my page; it's my first one and it really means a lot you took the time to give me one!
Next, I have a question about the changes you make from Roman Catholic to Catholic. I'm an Eastern Catholic so I share your frustration with the conflation of the two, but on Fr. Loew's page, I thought "Roman" would be most appropriate. In general, I've considered anything shared by the universal church as "Catholic" (in simplex), but people and anything particular to the sui iuris churches as not necessitating the change (e.g., Roman Catholics believe in transubstantiation vs. Joe Smith is a Roman Catholic). This is completely from my head, but since you're the only other person I've seen try to correct it, do you have a convention or rule of thumb that you use on pages? I'd like to be helpful in this regard and you seem like an editor who knows what he's doing, so I thought I might pick your brain.

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.
The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:
The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.
Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

Uriel1022 ( talk) 18:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC) |
No idea if it would jog your elbow, but would it be helpful for your GA work on Aquilegia sibirica for me to make a table for the taxonomic synonyms with dates like I did for Tetraneuris acaulis? Obviously it would be simpler one since no subspecies or varieties for the article you're working on. Or anything else you'd care to have some assistance with. I'm pretty excellent at finding interesting references in archive.org and at finding good CC0 or CC-BY photos. I don't know if it interferes with going for GA, but I'd view it as being in a supporting role. 🌿MtBotany ( talk) 03:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for filing your recent ANI. I think the other editor was over the line but I was generally content that they were told they had crossed it. That they continued to cross the line after the warning was clearly an issue. I did want to point out that in their request to lift the sanction they are claiming you didn't notify them.

May I ask, why do you keep changing it back to St. Aloysius College, It is now a deemed to be University. Deemed to be University is not a promotional sentence, it is an official title given to an institution here in India by the UGC and ministry of education. I see that you are from the US i dont think you understand the context. It is so annoying for us to see you deleting correct information about our university amd adding incorrect information. KnowledgeHunter6788 ( talk) 18:35, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
colleges and universities should always be named using the common (not necessarily official) name of the institution. This can often be determined by looking at current branding of a university via their website, published documents, and advertisements.A search for "St. Aloysius University Mangalore" using Google News ( see here) apparently indicates that St. Aloysius College is the much more common name.

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.
The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:
The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.
Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

On 2 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Oxford History of Christian Worship, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Karen B. Westerfield Tucker, who both edited and contributed to The Oxford History of Christian Worship, also served as a dog show judge? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Oxford History of Christian Worship. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, The Oxford History of Christian Worship), 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.

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ( talk), via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your attentiveness, diligence, patience and sacrificing time for this verbose article instead of for your own GAN. The Catholic Barnstar, for the faith. The Special Barnstar, for your special attention to a little-studied field. The Barnstar of Diligence, for your indispensable efforts in leading the article all the way to GA status. Uriel1022 ( talk) 18:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC) |
No idea if it would jog your elbow, but would it be helpful for your GA work on Aquilegia sibirica for me to make a table for the taxonomic synonyms with dates like I did for Tetraneuris acaulis? Obviously it would be simpler one since no subspecies or varieties for the article you're working on. Or anything else you'd care to have some assistance with. I'm pretty excellent at finding interesting references in archive.org and at finding good CC0 or CC-BY photos. I don't know if it interferes with going for GA, but I'd view it as being in a supporting role. 🌿MtBotany ( talk) 03:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I am here to beg you to come back and review either or both the High or Late Middle Ages sections of H of C. Airshipjungleman had said he would help, but he did the early MA section then bailed. He said the organization was confusing, but could not further explain, so I am now confused. If you are unable, can you think of someone else who might be willing? These sections have not been reviewed since being redone. Please help! Jenhawk777 ( talk) 19:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
You know what I'd like to do one day? Try to bring the article on the genus Aquilegia to GA status as well. Let me know if you'd be interested, maybe we could make a collective effort in strengthening it. For the time being I'm busy with some other stuff, like writing about obscure book-collecting French admirals, but if you're interested we could perhaps make an attempt later. Kind regards, Yakikaki ( talk) 14:18, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
The article Aquilegia sibirica you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Aquilegia sibirica for comments about the article, and Talk:Aquilegia sibirica/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Thank you for filing your recent ANI. I think the other editor was over the line but I was generally content that they were told they had crossed it. That they continued to cross the line after the warning was clearly an issue. I did want to point out that in their request to lift the sanction they are claiming you didn't notify them. Per [1] that appears to be incorrect. Happy editing! Springee ( talk) 02:58, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

May I ask, why do you keep changing it back to St. Aloysius College, It is now a deemed to be University. Deemed to be University is not a promotional sentence, it is an official title given to an institution here in India by the UGC and ministry of education. I see that you are from the US i dont think you understand the context. It is so annoying for us to see you deleting correct information about our university amd adding incorrect information. KnowledgeHunter6788 ( talk) 18:35, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
colleges and universities should always be named using the common (not necessarily official) name of the institution. This can often be determined by looking at current branding of a university via their website, published documents, and advertisements.A search for "St. Aloysius University Mangalore" using Google News ( see here) apparently indicates that St. Aloysius College is the much more common name.
