Hi, Aza! I was wondering if, given that I have never undertaken a biography of a living person before, you might assist with me with what I hope would be a relatively simple / quick bio article for Andrew Barnett (music writer), who as you may know wrote the 2007 biography Sibelius, was the project consultant of BIS Record's Sibelius Edition, and is the head of the UK Sibelius Society (and runs the website SibeliusOne.com). Do you think he is notable enough? I've started a sandbox effort at User:Silence of Järvenpää/Work (*). Happy holidays and happy new year! ~ Silence of Järvenpää 17:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

hello, you mentioned activism in my trying to sort out the topic of Chinese Legalism. But while I intend to present opposite opinions, I would like to mention that my work is based on the Stanford Encyclopedia and other famous writers in it. It has just been a very difficult topic to sort out. I've appreciated your input. FourLights ( talk) 21:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

HI there,
Could you do a source review for 54th Academy Awards for its featured list promotion? I would greatly appreciate your feedback
What's the regulation on providing a small raw quotation from the Hanshu for historical detail if there's no original argument? There is no opposition to the argument, despite over sixty years, and the source is quoted by the high ranking scholars even if they comment more directly on the subject than the history.

Hi @ Aza24. Your work on Euclid is great, thanks. The Wayback Machine (and Internet Archive more generally) is also a wonderful resource, one of the best things on the internet. However, it is in my opinion effectively spam (i.e. unhelpful to readers and unwarranted marketing for an unrelated service) to put an IA backup of every URL on Wikipedia, including living links, and it seems particularly spammy to include a large number of links to pages where the IA backup doesn't actually include the content of the page. It's more than sufficient for Wikipedia authors to tell the IA to back up every page linked from Wikipedia articles, but leave the Wikipedia page per se alone, only explicitly adding archive links to address actual or likely link rot.
The problem I have with such IA links is similar to my problem with S2CID spam added by Citation Bot, which nobody really ever seems to defend when it's challenged bu also nobody is willing to remove site-wide. I haven't had the enough interest/energy/time to try to make a site-wide RFC about either Internet Archive spam or S2CID spam, but I try to push back on it locally on individual pages.
I find it distasteful for other websites, even if they happen to be non-profits with publicly beneficial missions, to abuse Wikipedia for their own self promotion, and to be honest I think there should be some requirement to get large-scale consensus from Wikipedians before external organizations should be able to do this kind of large-scale spamming, instead of just going ahead with it and hoping nobody complains.

Hi Aza24! I noticed that this GT promotion with Novem Linguae's bot didn't seem to work (although I can't work out why)—apologies if either of you knew this already and were working on it. — Bilorv ( talk) 18:16, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—returns again this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24. – Aza24 (talk) 02:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
If you wish to start or stop receiving news about The Core Contest, please add or remove yourself from the delivery list.
