On 21 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sydney Morton, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Sydney Morton's grandfather appeared in Run, Little Chillun (poster pictured), but the musical theatre bug skipped a generation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sydney Morton. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Sydney Morton), 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.

Welcome, subscribers, to the fifth Discontent Content newsletter! Discontent Content is a newsletter aiming to collate and improve Wikipedia articles in need of more eyes and hands to get them in shape. Its unique trimodal structure allows editors to work where they feel comfortable -- with stubs and starts needing to be brought to standard, mid-quality articles with Good or Featured potential, or quality-assessed articles needing help to maintain their status. Articles in this category are those that need to be brought up to a minimum quality standard. Some will be stubs; others will be longer articles that nonetheless have significant concerns putting them far below B- or C-class adequacy. This issue's Category 1 articles are:
Articles in this category, while in better current shape than Category 1, are still missing something. They have the potential to be truly high-quality content, and may have been at one point. With work, they can be brought up to dizzying heights. This issue's Category 2 articles are:
Articles in this category have been assessed through a content review process in the past, but may require work to be brought up to current GA/FA standard. Editors can help bring them to a level where the star or plus near their names can once again shine. This issue's Category 3 articles are:
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.

First, sorry about that. I'm a little scatterbrained today. I was doing good, but today rolled around and then I wasn't. It's the 6th anniversary of my cat passing away. He was more my best friend than a cat. I miss him dearly. So, I'm hurting today. A little grief came out there and I apologize.
Anyway, I appreciate your time, effort, and help on the DRV discussion. I know that is definitely not what you signed up for and definitely not what I intended, but I appreciate you none-the-less. Hope you have an excellent rest of your weekend and week ahead. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:58, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

The third round of the 2021 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 294 points, and our top six scorers all had over 600 points. They were:
In round three, contestants achieved 19 featured articles, 7 featured lists, 106 featured article reviews, 72 good articles, 1 good topic, 62 good article reviews, 165 DYKs and 96 ITN items. We enter the fourth round with scores reset to zero; any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (one contestant in round 3 lost out because of this). 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.

Hey Valereee. I'm not going to comment there, but i appreciate what you've been doing recently with RfAs and i don't think your questioning the questioner was out of line. Fair play to BusterD who answered it, but i'd like to see more questions challenged (maybe) and more candidates feeling free to ignore what are supposed to be optional (definitely). For what it's worth, thank you; happy days, Lindsay H ello 17:24, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Valerie, I received your comments in regards to the Erick Williams page that I am editing. We represent him for public relations. I did not think that was a conflict of interest? Also, I saw the request for the page to be deleted because of copyright laws. Some of the information is also included in his biography that was written by me. Is that okay? It's not taken from other sources. Thank you for trying to work with me - this is very important to him.

Started reading a Hebrew translation of Silas Marner (1861), which has Niqqud (what am I, a child?) and letters instead of page numbers (super dumb). So, I notice a passage in the opening page that reads: "remember, in those days there weren't any trains and cars," and was, like, cars, she died in 1880! Naturally, I go to the original ( https://gutenberg.org/ebooks/550) as this was quite a WTF moment, and, guess what? Doesn't exist. The translator just made it up!
Obviously, the translation was intended for the young, the fact that it's less than half the length of the original is indicative of that (also, the translator Itzhak Levanon (translator) is preeminent in the area of children books). Granted, this is an old print —the one I have is circa 1965, but it's the 3rd reprint— still, now I'm wandering if many of the translators for the books I read as a kid were also taking such hilarious liberties... //Spam out!

In that far-off time superstition clung easily round every person or thing that was at all unwonted, or even intermittent and occasional merely, like the visits of the pedlar or the knife-grinder.So, yeah, had a good chuckle, thought I'd share. El_C 13:17, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
