Coming from the novel DYK: I'd have liked a modified hook, but guess that now - with a different one approved - that's no longer needed? - The composer is on the Main page now. If you see details that would add to knowing about him from Polish sources I wouldn't even know to find, that would be great, but obviously it was sufficient what's there. After I asked you, I found Polskie Radio and CDMC by just looking for an opera title. More detail about performances would add life to it. There was a claim in an early version (look at any before he died) that a particular trio was successful in the U.S.. - no source. When I asked it just said two operas were performed abroad", - we have now at least a bit more precision about a few stages and people. - I like to listen to his music! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:05, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

On 27 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Counterweight (novel), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that anti-Korean sentiment, due to South Korea's economic growth, motivated Djuna to write the sci-fi novel Counterweight? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Counterweight (novel). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Counterweight (novel)), 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.

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima ( submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Hi, I 've just been browsing my archived talk pages. A very long time ago in November 2015, you posted a message on my talk page about Jean Vesque de Puttelange. I seem to remember that I wasn't interested at the time, I might have seemed dismissive. Sorry if that was the impression. If you still think we could get the article to FA status as you suggested, I would be happy work towards it with you. Maybe it could do with some some Polish-language refs. At any rate, I hope you are keeping well. MinorProphet ( talk) 03:45, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi Piotrus, thanks for participating in the WikiCup. You recently submitted Template:Did you know nominations/Zwycięzcy oceanu, Template:Did you know nominations/Morning Dew (Korean song) for DYK points in the WikiCup, but neither of these articles have even been approved yet, let alone appeared on DYK. As per Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Did you know?, points cannot be granted until the article has actually been featured on the main page. Due to the DYK backlog, it is unlikely that they will appear on the Main Page within five days, even if they are promoted right now.
As such, I will remove these two nominations from your submissions page. – Epicgenius ( talk) 16:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

please do not portray it that way. I do not want to go into this either here or in email but... You leave me speechless. I will say this here however: you are not mentoring. Are you enabling? It probably is something you need to decide, not me, and please note that this is a question not an accusation. I think you and I should just let this sit for a few days, but let's keep in mind that you proposed a completely unwarranted sanction on me, hmmm? It is always your mentee that starts the drama, always, and always has been. It's time you acknowledged that. Houston, we have a problem here. Elinruby ( talk) 00:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Cześć,
Piszę tutaj, ponieważ sprawa dotyczy angielskiej Wikipedii. Nowicjuszka w ramach akcji Wikimatejko na pl wiki napisała do mnie, żeby przenieść jej do przestrzeni głównej angielskiej Wikipedii tłumaczenie z pl wiki. Osobiście sądzę, że – zwłaszcza biorąc pod uwagę ostre kryteria artykułów na en wiki – ten artykuł jeszcze się do tego nie nadaje. Jako że brałeś udział w tworzeniu wyróżnionych haseł o Matejce na en wiki – zerknąłbyś na ten brudnopis i przesłałbyś nowicjuszce uwagi? Pozdrawiam, Filip (MNK) ( talk) 09:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

If you are so sure that enough quality sources exist to salvage the article, then find those sources and show them.
If you want to argue that those arguing that coverage exists must...
... all during the course of a deletion discussion, realize that the essay you quote only expects the first.
But more than that, failing to review sources provided by other editors is an
WP:ABFish behavior. If I took the time to post a source, then I expect you to take even less time than it took me to find, evaluate, and post the link by clicking through it and reading what I posted before asserting that you can't know if each link provides appropriate coverage. If I consistently posted random nonsense that had nothing to do with the AfD in question, that would be tenditious editing behavior, and I should be sanctioned for it. But while we may disagree about what constitutes independence or significant coverage, I have never posted in such a time-wasting manner nor have I ever seen (to the best of my recollection) any regular AfD participant doing so. So if you have, then by all means, let's sanction editors who regularly post entirely unsuitable links and claim that they are sources. But failing that, by not reading links I post, you're not acting in a collegial manner nor AGFing that a source I post will at least arguably contribute to notability.
Or is it not reasonable to expect you to read links?
Jclemens (
talk) 04:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
proudly keep repeating it any time I see a nomination that lacks a sensible BEFORE effort. You say you should be sanctioned for such behaviour – will you now stand by your principles and self-report at the appropriate venue? On the subject of regular AfD participants who do this, there has been at least one high-profile case where a WP:Topic ban was handed down (though it was not the sole reason).

Hi Piotrus, hope you are well. I've hit a dead end on trying to map 1916 electoral districts in Warsaw, and posted a query on Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#1916_electoral_districts_in_Warsaw?.

I am writing to you and Marcelus as I think both of you may be knowledgeable on the subject. I note there seems to be omittance or brush over of the events of the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia in some articles. If you have time can you have a quick look over the following articles to see if all is right: Anti-Soviet resistance by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Eastern Galicia Volhynia, Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, and Jewish–Ukrainian relations in Eastern Galicia.

Because I don't want to blow up that discussion harder, I wanted to clarify something: I see AfD as often a final nail in a coffin, and only if I am 110% certain that it's necessary. There have been topics I've BLAR'd in the past and come back to write about when I found sources later (Wooloo, Dizzy, Baiken) or to allow folks like Cukie too if they did. Honestly if more people opposing such were willing to work on the articles I'd have less issue with any revived.
AfD's tend to be harder to come back from, as you'll sometimes have an editor attempt to re-AfD on the grounds of "the last consensus said delete", even if the reception was completely rewritten. It's the difference, at least in my mindset, between "Maybe we can shelve this for now til someone says something" and "maybe this belongs in the trash".

It is always your mentee that starts the drama, always, and always has been. It's time you acknowledged that. Houston, we have a problem here. Elinruby ( talk) 00:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Cześć,
Piszę tutaj, ponieważ sprawa dotyczy angielskiej Wikipedii. Nowicjuszka w ramach akcji Wikimatejko na pl wiki napisała do mnie, żeby przenieść jej do przestrzeni głównej angielskiej Wikipedii tłumaczenie z pl wiki. Osobiście sądzę, że – zwłaszcza biorąc pod uwagę ostre kryteria artykułów na en wiki – ten artykuł jeszcze się do tego nie nadaje. Jako że brałeś udział w tworzeniu wyróżnionych haseł o Matejce na en wiki – zerknąłbyś na ten brudnopis i przesłałbyś nowicjuszce uwagi? Pozdrawiam, Filip (MNK) ( talk) 09:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

If you are so sure that enough quality sources exist to salvage the article, then find those sources and show them.
If you want to argue that those arguing that coverage exists must...
... all during the course of a deletion discussion, realize that the essay you quote only expects the first.
But more than that, failing to review sources provided by other editors is an
WP:ABFish behavior. If I took the time to post a source, then I expect you to take even less time than it took me to find, evaluate, and post the link by clicking through it and reading what I posted before asserting that you can't know if each link provides appropriate coverage. If I consistently posted random nonsense that had nothing to do with the AfD in question, that would be tenditious editing behavior, and I should be sanctioned for it. But while we may disagree about what constitutes independence or significant coverage, I have never posted in such a time-wasting manner nor have I ever seen (to the best of my recollection) any regular AfD participant doing so. So if you have, then by all means, let's sanction editors who regularly post entirely unsuitable links and claim that they are sources. But failing that, by not reading links I post, you're not acting in a collegial manner nor AGFing that a source I post will at least arguably contribute to notability.
Or is it not reasonable to expect you to read links?

proudly keep repeating it any time I see a nomination that lacks a sensible BEFORE effort. You say you should be sanctioned for such behaviour – will you now stand by your principles and self-report at the appropriate venue? On the subject of regular AfD participants who do this, there has been at least one high-profile case where a WP:Topic ban was handed down (though it was not the sole reason).

Hi Piotrus, hope you are well. I've hit a dead end on trying to map 1916 electoral districts in Warsaw, and posted a query on Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities#1916_electoral_districts_in_Warsaw?. Any input whether these district numbers can be linked to some other administrative feature would be very appreciated. -- Soman ( talk) 11:22, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
I am writing to you and Marcelus as I think both of you may be knowledgeable on the subject. I note there seems to be omittance or brush over of the events of the Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia in some articles. If you have time can you have a quick look over the following articles to see if all is right: Anti-Soviet resistance by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Eastern Galicia Volhynia, Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists, and Jewish–Ukrainian relations in Eastern Galicia. Thank you 79.154.64.32 ( talk) 08:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
On 15 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Zwycięzcy oceanu, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Zwycięzcy oceanu, a Polish young-adult adventure book from 1890, features Polish, English, and American characters? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zwycięzcy oceanu. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Zwycięzcy oceanu), 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.

Because I don't want to blow up that discussion harder, I wanted to clarify something: I see AfD as often a final nail in a coffin, and only if I am 110% certain that it's necessary. There have been topics I've BLAR'd in the past and come back to write about when I found sources later (Wooloo, Dizzy, Baiken) or to allow folks like Cukie too if they did. Honestly if more people opposing such were willing to work on the articles I'd have less issue with any revived.
AfD's tend to be harder to come back from, as you'll sometimes have an editor attempt to re-AfD on the grounds of "the last consensus said delete", even if the reception was completely rewritten. It's the difference, at least in my mindset, between "Maybe we can shelve this for now til someone says something" and "maybe this belongs in the trash".
