The article Anna Filosofova you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Anna Filosofova and Talk:Anna Filosofova/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Rusalkii -- Rusalkii ( talk) 05:23, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

What is source editing? -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 16:47, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Before I ask this, I would like to thank you, and state that I think this mentor system was a clever idea on Wikipedia’s part. Could you give me a basic introduction to editing-specifically, what should I do, how can I do it (on mobile), and what should I avoid doing? Please and thank you. -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 17:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Good morning (or afternoon, evening, or night, if you happen to live in a different time zone)! I’ve happened to notice that you gave me a “thank you” on one of my edits (responses to previous question). How can I do that and what is the etiquette for doing that? As always, please and thank you. -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 15:46, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
How can I see when and/or if my edits are accepted, and if they are rejected, where/will I be able to find reasons explaining what I did wrong and what I can improve? Is it better to make a possibly bad edit or to not make a possibly good one? -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 16:18, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
How much comments/hidden text is too much? I often find myself better at noticing rather than fixing errors, so I often find myself using hidden text to point out areas that could possibly use improvement, but the page mentions (albeit only once) to “Avoid adding too many invisible comments because they can clutter the wiki source for other editors.” How can I know when I reached this point, and how can I trim comments? -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 16:22, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
I was attempting to copyedit a page when I got stuck; on the article for Albert Gilles (I have yet to figure out how to add links to things), it is marked for Conflict of Interest and Subjective Tone, and in the first sentence it states that he is “known for his metalworking technique of shaping malleable metals.” I know opinions like this typically need to be cited, but it could be a ‘don’t cite the sky is blue’ situation where it’s blatantly obvious that that is what he is famous for. What should I do? Should I add citation needed? As always, please and thank you. -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 17:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
How do I know what sentences need inline citations and which don’t? I’ve been having trouble trying to come up with a consistent answer. -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 17:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello again, I hope you’re having a wonderful time of day. I have two questions today! First off, I’ve realized I could study editing by looking at a page’s history and slowly going forward, noting the edits that were made. Are there any good articles for this, like ones that have been copy edited multiple times and never had an edit war? Second, what are the rules on user customization, especially signature customization? What ARE signatures anyway? As always, please and thank you! -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 16:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I’m back again, and I know it’s probably not there, but is there a tool to add notes specifically for yourself when editing? As in i can leave a note to not change something and why and not have to go back through all of what I did to delete the notes? Basically, hidden text that deletes itself once an edit is published. Please and thank you. -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 16:37, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I’ve been going through my suggested edits, and nearly all of them are ones that are ones tagged as “Written like advertisement”, and I can very well see it and vaguely where it’s becoming advertising, but I can never seem to figure out how to fix it. How can i fix things like these? How can you fix neutrality issues in general? Please and thanks. -- TheBirdinator3000 ( talk) 15:08, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello - I created a draft for Fergie Chambers yesterday before I realized that you had a similar idea. I see that you have some sources in your sandbox but if you'd like to use the draft article instead, it's at Draft:Fergie Chambers. I will probably do some expanding later today but I agree with you that there's enough there to meet WP:GNG, especially with the new Rolling Stone article. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him) Talk to Me! 11:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
On 28 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Anna Filosofova, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that after being criticized for dressing "like a doll" at an important meeting, pioneering Russian feminist Anna Filosofova (pictured) replied that "clothes do not make the woman"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anna Filosofova. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Anna Filosofova), 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, I’m not sure if hat happened. Could you send me a DYK credit for Townsends? Thank you, Thriley ( talk) 00:57, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, Ganesha. Can you take a look at the Interstate 85 in North Carolina article to see if it meets GA criteria? I nominated it, and I'm not entirely sure. I'm of course a newbie at GA noms and would like some advice. Thanks. NoobThreePointOh ( talk) 01:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, sorry to bother you but I was wondering if I could get 1 point for my last GA review that's still On Hold? I was hoping to be able to get to 7 points. The review has been on hold for more than 7 days because the nominator asked for more time to address feedback. WP:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/March 2024#Mokadoshi. Either way, thanks for all you've done to coordinate this drive. Mokadoshi ( talk) 04:57, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Sorry for the incorrect undo just now, I got confused because the DYK update bot said it had promoted queue 7, which made me assume it had also wiped it, and I further assumed you'd then promoted a fresh set over the top of that (forgotting it is the 31st today not the 30th). In fact, it turns out the DYK bot didn't get around to wiping queue 7, so your set is now good to go for tomorrow. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 14:15, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 11:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2024).
Thanks a lot, wanted to know the criteria followed to edit a content posted .Thanks again -- Bbumba Eliya ( talk) 10:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
I got notified about changes to the Ellen Bernstein page - not sure if you directly notified me or if you made a significant enough change that I automatically got notified.
I appreciate that you tightened up the text and removed some verbiage that didn't absolutely need to be there. But by removing the sentence "She notes 'If we focus on abstract theological and allegorical readings, we miss the deeply embodied and enlanded dimensions of the text that are so needed today... We miss the possibility of finding God in nature.'", I think this removes an essential essence of her work - this quote is from her words from an interview about her latest book. Do you object to me changing it back? Nnev66 ( talk) 19:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
