DCWC closing update

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three, BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or ask one of the coordinators: Ixtal (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Better source request for File:Last Call BBS.jpg

Can you please reveiw Jewish educatinal Media

it has been submited for a long time and I think it is ready to be a wikipidia page YisroelB1 (talk) 09:31, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@YisroelB1 uh... did you see the very large banner on top of the draft? I've declined it as it is a (misspelled) duplicate of Draft:Jewish Educational Media. In addition, is YisroelB501 (talk · contribs) another account of yours? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 09:33, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

yes it is another acount of mine, but i am asking if you reveiw he original one YisroelB1 (talk) 09:47, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Please stick to one account only. To quote the template, This may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 1,315 pending submissions waiting for review. Please be patient. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 09:48, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Declining my article in a previous edit, but now still waiting for review

Hello! Earlier today (or yesterday depending where you live) My Article was declined in a old edit. But right now, it says waiting for review again. It also said you were the one to decline but I guess undecline. My question is is it declined or not? And if it is, what can I do to make the article better? Draft is: Draft:Hurricane Isaac (2024) JAFactsDude (talk) 02:35, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

@JAFactsDude yesterday (I live in the middle of nowhere) I declined the draft by mistake, and I reverted my edit. So the answer to your question would be no. The draft is currently submitted and awaiting review. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 02:39, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Regarding my draft Draft:Anuvadi Svara

Please review and tell me about the errors and Fix the problems so that I would understand my errors and will keep in mind next time. Regards,Ved Sharma Kharavela Deva (talk) 09:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

@Kharavela Deva the main problem is that your draft has no inline citations, and all references are instead cluttered at the bottom. I can't fix this directly, as I don't know which statements each source supports. Please see H:REFB if you need help. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 10:30, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

@CanonNi Thanks for telling about my errors. I have fixed the reference error by own and now I will try to adjust footnotes, Please review my page again and If you see any error again, kindly make me notice. Regards, Ved Sharma Kharavela Deva (talk) 13:58, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

The references are still not quite right. All <ref> tags should be immediately after the statement(s) they support, not at the bottom. I've moved a reference as an example. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 01:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Is in Wikipedia, talking about personal matter in discussion is allowed? I have seen a Wikipedia user and his girlfriend are misusing discussion page. I don't remember the name of that Wikipedian,he and his girlfriend might be blocked.?? Kharavela Deva (talk) 09:44, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Well, talk pages are generally used for Wiki-related discussions only. See WP:NOTSOCIALNETWORK for more info. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 11:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Can a museum's website be a reliable source?

Hi CanonNi, I've just noticed a review you did recently where you rejected an article in part because A museum's website is not a reliable source. Are you sure about that one, or is it that some specific museum's are not considered reliable? ϢereSpielChequers 11:46, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@WereSpielChequers sorry for the late reply. What I meant was that particular site, Okhra, seemed to be more of a tourist attraction, rather than a proper art museum. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 01:08, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

No problem, I don't dispute that some museums are more credible than others, and that some museum claims are either out of date, overly nationalistic or just patriochal about their community's achievements. Just good to give that detail when communicating with article writers. ϢereSpielChequers 10:54, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Noted, thanks. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 00:58, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ibrahimmusa4 (19:16, 28 October 2024)

Hello, How do I create a new article draft in my sandbox, and do I published it? I need a step by step guidelines --Ibrahimmusa4 (talk) 19:16, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ibrahimmusa4 looks like you figured it out how to create your sandbox. There is no way what you have right now is gonna be published, so I'd suggest you read H:YFA and start over with reliable sources. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 01:10, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

translation request

hello, i found your name in Wikipedia:Translators available and i would like to request to translate the church's name in Pe̍h-ōe-jī#History, i added its chinese characters sometime ago taken from the file itself, but i don't speak chinese, would like your help, thanks. 152.32.99.39 (talk) 08:00, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I took a look, and it appears that the 東門 in its name refers to the road where the church is located (東門路), and the district the road is in (東區). I don't speak Hokkien though, so you might wanna double-check at zh:Wikipedia talk:Chinese Wikipedia Guestbook for non-Chinese speakers just to be sure. HTH. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 08:18, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

understood, thank you, though i believe what you said is enough information, i guess i'll just add an efn template in the image. 152.32.99.39 (talk) 13:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

“WP:NOTTHERAPY”

do you think simple “mental health support” is going to solve all the pain and suffering in the world? no. therefore it is useless to direct me to any hotlines, WP:EMERGENCY or any of that. it’s not my problem, it’s humanity’s problem and you’re being complicit to my suffering. i don’t want to deal with your ignorance anymore. you’re the problem. 2603:8001:C2F0:7D0:A8A5:BCAF:5476:2D2 (talk) 02:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
