FASA

Did I set it up correctly Wikipedia_talk:Featured_article_review/USS_Missouri_(BB-63)/archive1#Featured_Article_Save_Award_nominations? Hog Farm Talk 02:59, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hog Farm, I usually add the stats for the benefit of !voters ... see Wikipedia talk:Featured article review/Mary Martha Sherwood/archive1 ... I also put them on the FASA page in the same format that Nikkimaria uses when she copies them to records, so she won't have to do the work ... see format at Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/FASA/Records#December_2022 ... I can look in tomorrow ... at 15 pages (10 more to go) of horrible Spanish translated for GamerPro64, I am too tired to think at the moment ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:31, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, see User:SandyGeorgia/sandbox5 and here. I notify WT:FAC, WT:FAR, and the same WikiProjects as notified on the FAR. I can get to those tomorrow or next if you are too busy ... I like doing those notifications as they help others see that good things can happen at FAR. Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:39, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the stats. Will make an attempt at the notifications ... Hog Farm Talk 03:49, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've notified the three projects that I'm aware to be reasonably active, as well at WT:FAR and WT:FAC. Hog Farm Talk 03:54, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Wikipedia:Peer review/Kamikaze Hearts (film)/archive1

Hello! A couple weeks ago I created this peer review request. However, the article has since been moved, and is now named Kamikaze Hearts. Should the PR also be moved to reflect the new title? ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 17:37, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HelenDegenerate: I think when a page is moved, the peer reviews and GARs are not. When this is closed, feel free to message me and I will make sure it is properly stored on the talk page. Z1720 (talk) 18:04, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Coincidence? I think not...

Today's featured article is Meet Kevin Johnson, which you nominated. Regarding this episode:

  • It was part of the show's 4th season
  • Specifically its 8th episode
  • It first aired 15 years ago today
  • With only 16 ordered scripts, this was Lost's shortest season
  • The current year is 2023
  • And the episode itself has a runtime of 42 minutes (like pretty much every other non-premier/finale episode)

Coincidence? 🤔 Kurtis (talk) 23:29, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Dcoffee6929 on Wikipedia:General disclaimer (15:41, 22 April 2023)

Question from Kathanil (09:48, 4 May 2023)

Hi Team,

I want to create new Wikipedia page, can anybody help me with the same? --Kathanil (talk) 09:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kathanil: What is the topic that you want to create an article about? Ensure that an article on the topic does not already exist, and that it is notable enough by Wikipedia's standards (as indicated at WP:N and WP:GNG). Once you are ready to create the article, please go to articles for creation to create the article. Z1720 (talk) 14:42, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Z1720 Thanks, I really appreciate your answer. Kathanil (talk) 03:42, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA review

Question from Mcpmusicman (18:05, 16 May 2023)

Hello, I am concerned that the posting for Nakba. There is reference to Professor Constantin Zureiq and his pamphlet of August 5, 1948. However, lacking is the most important few lines of the pamphlet. Zureiq said: "We must admit our mistakes and recognize the extent of our responsibility for the disaster that is our lot. If the Arabs would have participated they could have had a state just like Israel. It was the prompting of other Arabs that they fled and ended up in a stateless situation. Not Israel. --Mcpmusicman (talk) 18:05, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mcpmusicman: thanks for asking about this. The Nakba article is a controversial topic of Wikipedia, so editors are more cautious about what is included. Wikipedia also tries to avoid too many quotes (due to copyright issues and clarity) and avoids presenting opinion statements as facts. Zureiq's statement seems to fall in this opinionated zone and I do not think it should be included. If you disagree with me, I suggest posting your argument on the article's talk page and asking for other editors' opinions. Z1720 (talk) 18:13, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I do disagree because of the continued representing of Israel as the cause of the "Palestinian problem". Mcpmusicman (talk) 18:19, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for nominating South of Heaven for the main page. Appreciate the fact that work I did a few years back is noticed. LuciferMorgan (talk) 20:18, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Z1720

@Lingzhi.Renascence: I'll copyedit if it's an obvious mistake (spelling, extra space, etc.) but if I am confused by something I will ask a question. I might be a couple days before I do a pass as I do not know what my schedule will be like. I suggest that you try to find redundancies in the article and remove extra information that is not needed. Z1720 (talk) 01:52, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Z1720, thanks! Unfortunately, I'm a bad person to ask to copy edit BF43. First, I'm too close to the text. I wrote more than 90% of it myself, although it has been altered here and there in the interim (sometimes significantly). I often don't see the problems. Second, it depresses me to edit it. Sorry. § Lingzhi (talk|check refs) 13:05, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

FAC/Abishabis

Hi Z1720, just popping by to apologize for my long silence at your FAC nom. I’m still alive and I haven’t forgotten you. We’re in the middle of a cross-country move, and I’ve been wrapped up in pre-move tasks, and now the move itself —- much more chaos than expected (though no doubt I mis-set my expectations). I should be settled with wifi in a few days and then you’re at the top of my wiki-todo list. If the nom is in danger of being archived, shoot me an email and I’ll find an hour to hide from my family in a closet and get this done. Thanks, and I hope you’re well! Ajpolino (talk) 11:14, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ajpolino: thanks for the message! I don't think its in danger of being archived (there's 3 supports right now) but I will ping you if there's a concern. Have fun with the move and I hope everything goes well! Z1720 (talk) 11:59, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Popping by to say I've left a second round of comments. They should be easy to deal with, and then I'm happy to support the FAC. Thanks again for your patience. Ajpolino (talk) 12:49, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review request - "Andhra Pradesh"

iwan roberts

Z1720, i had a quick question regarding this blurb for this article. was there a reason why leicester city was not mentioned in the blurb? i don't personally mind, but considering that all the other teams roberts played for appear to be mentioned in the blurb, i was worried that some main page readers familiar with roberts may consider it a deliberate slight. if it was only due to length considerations, i think we can add the team name if we replace "almost half as a player" with "almost half playing", "research into dementia" with "dementia research", and "has attributed" with "attributed". if it was simply an inadvertent oversight, that's also completely understandable.

Question from Holy starking1 on Hubbard Foods (01:03, 4 July 2023)

Hello How can I write article about someone who I’m not is on wikipedia ? --Holy starking1 (talk) 01:03, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Holy starking1: Thanks for asking this question. If the person is notable, you can create an article for that person. Typically, a person is considered notable if three independent sources write a significant amount about them. Once you are ready, go to WP:AFC and follow their instructions for creating an article. Remember that your article has to cite those three sources, or else the article will not be accepted onto Wikipedia. Feel free to message me if you want me to take a look at an article and I can give some feedback on how to improve the article. Z1720 (talk) 03:06, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of Abishabis

Congratulations, Z1720! The article you nominated, Abishabis, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.
This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:05, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you send that Article for fAR. Has a lot of issues, meanwhile there are no psychology topic on far yet this time. 49.149.96.255 (talk) 14:11, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@49.149.96.255: Unfortunately, there are a lot of articles that are suggested for FAR (see WP:FARGIVEN) and editors can only nominate one per week, so it would be a while until I can bring it to FAR. However, I encourage you to sign up for an account and nominate it to get the process started. Z1720 (talk) 17:12, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Today's Featured Article

Hi, I found that you are involved with the "Today's featured article" selection. It can be seen that most of the first page articles are centered around dominant cultural aspects and perspectives of a potential English language editor. I was just curious to know, whether it is an established guideline or just a common practice. Because I know some historic articles like Darius the Great, which is also been selected as a "good article", and due to its mention in Greek sources as well, might be of point of interest to the audience from all across the world. Can you please guide me to a mutual understanding and direct me? Thanks a lot A281666666 (talk) 19:18, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @A281666666: Today's featured article (TFA) is selected from articles that have been deemed featured articles by the community. These articles need to fulfil the featured article criteria and be reviewed by multiple editors to get that designation, in a process called FAC. Good articles are a step towards becoming a featured article, but an article cannot be selected for TFA unless it obtains featured article status. There's no rule that the first page (what most Wikipedia editors call the Main Page) should be centred on the English language editor; in fact, English Wikipedia tries to select articles from around the world and from places whose dominant language is not English, but this is hard because editors are volunteers and will write articles that they are interested in. Also, TFA is only one part of the process for selecting what goes on the Main Page, as every box (In the News, Did You Know, On This Day, etc.) has their own rules, sub-culture and rules for selecting what is on the Main Page.
If you want Darius the Great to be featured on the Main Page, I suggest improving the article with high-quality sources (mostly from academic sources published by universities), getting an FA mentor and nominating it to WP:FAC. Once it becomes a featured article, I am sure it will be selected to appear at TFA pretty quickly. Z1720 (talk) 23:13, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Help with selecting October TFA reruns?

Zed, if you've got some spare time, would you be willing to pick a few (additional) reruns for October for TFA? If so, I'll tell you what I've got so far and give you some rough goals to aim for. - Dank (push to talk) 23:01, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dank: Yeah, I can do that. Anything specific you are looking for? Do you want generally under-represented categories or popular/vital articles? Z1720 (talk) 23:17, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In no order at all:
  • I don't have a strong preference. We're allowed to schedule two per week, but less than nine would be fine if you and I can't find two articles per week that meet whatever criteria you and I choose to set. (So, tell me about your criteria, I know you've been suggesting reruns for a while. I agree with you that anniversaries make good choices, but I prefer anniversaries that are multiples of 10 or 25 years, only because I've seen people complain otherwise.)
    • Offline from Wikipedia (on Google Sheets) I have made a list of articles with some sort of anniversary (birthday, founding, anniversary of battle, etc.) that have not run on TFA yet or are potential reruns from empty or almost-empty categories on WP:FANMP. I then nominate the article for the year where the anniversary is a multiple of 5 (for example, a biography's 105th birthday, the 45th anniversary of the event, etc.) I avoid nominating articles from the same category as an article nominated for the month at WP:TFAR or WP:TFARP. If the article is at WP:URFA/2020, I will also check to ensure that there are no glaring problems (and if there are, I will post a message on the talk page and start the FAR process). Z1720 (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Everything I've said here so far isn't meant to be much more than personal musings and goals, but on this point, I know from discussions with the TFA coords that, for reruns, we're happier about multiples of 10 than 5 (and I think multiples of 25 are also fine but I'm not sure). - Dank (push to talk) 13:24, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The articles I mentioned at WT:TFA are good examples of what I'm looking for (quoting myself: The Smashing Pumpkins for late in the month). Maple syrup and Medieval cuisine for Canadian Thanksgiving and the various Columbus Day holidays Also, Medieval cuisine for October 1, to celebrate a month of harvest holidays. Except for Funerary art, these are all vital articles, and I think it can be argued that Funerary art really should be a level-5 vital article. Vital articles are best, but anything vital-ish is good too, because they're the kinds of articles most likely to have a long record of constructive feedback and edits. For the same reason, for reruns, I'd prefer to avoid most things that not many people have heard of (long-abandoned small towns, obscure academic theories). For first-runs, I'm happy to run anything that can get through FAC, assuming that we can maintain the proper proportions of articles in various broad categories (but I'm not looking for help with selecting the non-reruns.)
    • There are lots of articles at the bottom of WP:URFA/2020A that are vital, have been recently checked or gone through the FAR process, and require minimal/no work to get them ready for TFA. I'll put a list at the bottom of this message. Z1720 (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • My main preference is finding interesting articles that are obvious "nods" to non-US, non-UK countries that have significant numbers of English Wikipedia readers, including all the large countries and most of the Anglophile countries. I'm not talking about a lot of articles; I'm just saying that people like for their cultures and holidays and activities to be acknowledged every once in a while. Australia Day, 26 January, is a good example of the kind of national holiday that I think should be acknowledged (once a decade, at least), and I've asked Ian Rose for a suggested article. It's a shame we've got nothing to run for the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Republic of Turkey on 29 October. (I would settle for a national animal or bird or flower ... we've got nothing that's rerunnable.) Z1720, striking ... apparently that day is too controversial. I'll keep looking. - Dank (push to talk) 12:09, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I will do a check for this and see if I find anything for Turkey. I am Canadian, so I am most familiar with those holidays but maybe I will do a check of OTD one day when I am bored and make notes of major holidays around the world, and cross-reference with FAs. Z1720 (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Those are my preferences, but I'll settle for anything that's well-written and of general interest, or even quirky. I don't care when it was promoted, as long as it hasn't run at TFA in the last five years and has never been a rerun.
  • I always prefer reruns for which at least one of the FAC nominators is still active, and I always ask if they're okay with rerunning the article now (or ever), or if they'd prefer to take another year to work on it.
    • WP:FASA is an award created a couple of years ago to honour editors who help "save" an article at FAR. Since many older FAs have editors who have left Wikipedia, this award lets others know who is maintaining the article now. Z1720 (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Understood. Work with whoever you like to get the job done; I tend to prefer to work with editors and/or topics I'm familiar with. But: you're better at this than I am. - Dank (push to talk) 14:00, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're welcome to write the blurbs if you want to, but I don't mind writing the blurbs for your selections.
  • Okay, that's everything that comes to mind ... questions? - Dank (push to talk) 00:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Heh, forgot the most important thing ... I'm not in general looking to run, say, Australia Day on Australia Day ... those will rarely be FAs (and I'm not doing January yet anyway). I'm just looking for anything that would make an Australian say, "Oh, look, they're running something for the holiday", Australia Day" such as Canberra or Australia (or maybe even Koala). But, hopefully Ian will come up with something for that one. - Dank (push to talk) 01:30, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dank: Responses above. Will post a list of suggestions below later today or tomorrow. Z1720 (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Great. Btw, the four articles I mentioned to start with may or may not get fixed up in time for October. As I mentioned on the talk pages, two of those articles have more paragraphs that lack citations than I'm comfortable with. I know the editors are conscientious, and I haven't found much that looks problematic. But other people (perhaps you?) may find more work that needs to be done, and it might not get done. So I don't know for sure yet about these four articles; all I can say is that I'm optimistic, but we'll see. - Dank (push to talk) 14:08, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • One more thing: I'm thinking of a time limit of about a year for this project of acknowledging holidays from various countries (with maybe a few leftovers in 2025). I think all that's really needed is to make an effort, even if it's a not-entirely-successful effort. After that, I plan to go back to business as usual. Wehwalt and you in particular have had a lot of success with multiple monthly reruns, and if I can be as successful as that, I'll be happy. - Dank (push to talk) 14:15, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dank: Article suggestions for October (and why):
  • Ganesha for Oct 21: this day is Diwali, and according to the Wikipedia article Ganesha is one of the gods honoured on this day. This article would need to be checked.
  • I'm largely ignorant about Indian observances, but our article on Diwali says that (this year) it starts on November 9 (it was in October last year). - Dank (push to talk)
  • Velociraptor: Last dinosaur article at TFA was Diodorus scyto­brachion on June 13
  • Sure (with the understanding that "Sure" means "if there are no conflicting TFAR nominations", i.e. another dinosaur. - Dank (push to talk)
  • Solar System: Aug has two publications about space, and the last celestial body at TFA was Pavo (constellation) on July 23
  • Smooth toadfish: Last fish-related article was A History of British Fishes on May 26, the last actual fish was electric eels on Nov 28, 2022.
    • URFA/2020 can check any suggested articles and see if there are any concerns.
      • They know you better than they know me; feel free to make the call on whether to list any of these articles there. - Dank (push to talk)
    • As a Canadian, I'm not sure if I associate maple syrup with Thanksgiving, as that is something I would enjoy on pancakes or at sugar shacks in the winter. That article might be better for Canada Day (July 1). Medieval cuisine is a little too early for Thanksgiving, as the Medieval period concluded in the 15th century while the first Thanksgiving happened in the 16th. Z1720 (talk) 14:41, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • No objection to moving Maple syrup to July 1 (or July 2, if Flag of Canada runs on July 1). For Medieval cuisine, I'm focusing on "cuisine" rather than "medieval". October is a month full of harvest festivals and holidays associated with eating and drinking (including various Columbus Day holidays; I believe most of these are also on October 9). Other than Medieval cuisine, what do we have that covers food and feasting in general, rather than specific foods? - Dank (push to talk) 15:20, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't think we've generally done this, but you might want to try this (so that anyone thinking of listing, say, a dinosaur at TFAR or TFAP will know that some of the initial vetting work has already been done on another dinosaur): try listing Velociraptor, Solar System and Smooth toadfish at WP:TFAP as the first three October entries, but don't give them a date, just say "October", so that we don't reserve a day that we don't need to reserve. - Dank (push to talk) 16:03, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see over on Ian's talk page that you're asking about running a bio on someone's death date (in a case where the death date doesn't have independent significance, which is the usual case). I'm personally skeptical that this is a good idea, but I need to get more experience with scheduling before I'm willing to venture an opinion. In general, if we want to schedule an anniversary but the desired day is already taken, I prefer scheduling the day before (for countries just to the west of the International Date Line) or the day after (for the Americas). - Dank (push to talk) 14:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

January TFA reruns

Starting a new section so we can discuss these as they come up ... no rush on these, of course. Ian Rose and I have been chatting about 1 January ... see User talk:Ian Rose#Maybe a TFA on 1 January?. We're agreed that something Australia-worthy would be nice (to celebrate the founding of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901), but he doesn't have a specific suggestion for an article. I don't have a preference. Happy to talk about it any time you feel like it. - Dank (push to talk) 15:19, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For reruns, 5th, 210th, 60th, 150th and 275th anniversaries are fine by me (I get that some of these aren't reruns; just saying). 115th, not so much. Otherwise, looks like a good list. - Dank (push to talk) 17:55, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
