Dutch CFS article

Hi Femke. I saw that your mother language is Dutch and was wondering if you good give any advice on updating the Dutch article on 'chronischevermoeidheidssyndroom'. It's quite a mess and has not been updated in a long time. I've tried to make a case of changing the title to ME/CFS instead of CFS on the talk page but because I'm new to Wikipedia, other editors were suspicious of me and disapproved my suggestion. I'm now slowly trying to update the content of the CFS page but I suspect I might run into similar issues (skepticism of other editors towards me as a new member who is trying to rewrite most of the content on the page). Any help or advice from a experienced Wikipedia editor like yourself would be very much appreciated. Best wishes, --Odobert (talk) 19:17, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great work there :). With 3 people in favour and 2 against, it's likely that the suggested merge will fail on the Dutch Wikipedia, unless there are more people joining the discussion. It can be frustrating, but it's a normal part of editing that people may not agree all the time.
So far, your updates to the CVS page seem to be able to stick. The best way forward is to continue to be slow, and give people the opportunity to react to what you've written. If you edit in small batches, people may revert one or two edits while leaving most of your updates be.
One thing that can bring out "mentoring mode" from other people, is working towards the Dutch equivalent of a featured article, a nl:WP:etalage article. The standards on the Dutch Wikipedia are less strict than here, and it's a fun process. First you get a peer review, and then others will vote whether it meets the high standards. But it will require some time investment. Another thing you may want to do to avoid Wikipedia:BITEY behaviour from experienced editors is edit a bit in other topics. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, much appreciated. Odobert (talk) 14:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Chronotropic incompetence

On 7 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chronotropic incompetence, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that many people with heart failure, diabetes, or ME/CFS cannot raise their heart rates sufficiently during exercise? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chronotropic incompetence. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Chronotropic incompetence), 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.

TCC things

Hi Femke, I've started a Wikipedia:The Core Contest/Preparations for future years. Figured it would be good to have all the planning in one page, and for future judges. Feel free to add anything that looks missing; there's probably few things I'm going to add, but the basics are there already.

Also, I was planning to make a short FAQ page for the contest. I'm finding that we're repeatedly asked the same handful of questions: what is core/is this core enough; can/how I withdraw; can I enter more than one article; work with multiple people; etc. Let me know if you think of any others.

I've been meaning to do this all for a while, and figured it would be good to have it ready well before next year. Aza24 (talk) 04:14, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FAC tidying

Hello! Touching base because I find myself with a little bit more time on my hands than I’ve had recently and wondered if there was anything I might lend a hand on as you finalize myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome for FAC. I haven’t been involved in the process before and I’d be curious to learn even just about the routine parts—happy to pitch in with things like ref formatting if that still needs doing. Maybe it’s really already all set but just in case I thought I’d inquire whether there was still help I could offer! Innisfree987 (talk) 08:14, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Innisfree :). Thanks for the offer! I think consistent ref formatting is done, but I have quite a poor eye for it, so would appreciate another pair of eyes. Over the last couple of months, I've been able to reduce the number of citations, removing lower-quality ones, which should make the job easier. English is not my first language; some others have done in-detail prose commenting, but nobody has gone over the new management section, so some feedback on the prose there would also be welcome.
I hope to nominate later this month, and hoping to get opinions at Wikipedia:Peer review/Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome/archive1 on whether it's ready. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 08:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, I’ll have a look over both of those! Thanks for the suggestions, and for your remarkable, steady work on this! I’ve really learned a lot for my own editing from the example. Innisfree987 (talk) 08:43, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome

Congratulations, Femke! The article you nominated, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 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, Gog the Mild (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:06, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Popping by to say congratulations and thank you for this! It’s so wonderful that a difficult topic is now a source of such high-quality information. Are you thinking of nominating it? I think having it on Main Page now that it’s so good would be a real service! I also wanted to say thank you for such a great intro to FAC—I had really had only limited experience with featured articles until now and learned so much from watching you progress this entry. Really appreciate the contribution across the board! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:47, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks :). For noncontroversial articles, or those where the main author has more of a background in the topic at hand, the road to FAC is usually (much) shorter. So if you plan on bringing an article to FAC, it might be much easier.
I'm torn between nominating now and waiting for May 12 next year. I've missed the opportunity to nominate for October Invisible Disabilities Week, which takes places at the end of October. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:32, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and it was wonderful accomplishment for all the years that the article was batted back-and-forth with all the controversies.

Without your direction and reputation and for being fair and patient that would not have happened IMO. Ward20 (talk) 23:31, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections: Call for Candidates

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Call for candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • October 8–14 - Candidate sign-up (we are here)
  • October 22–24 - Discussion phase
  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familar with the community's expectations of adminstrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a one week call for candidates phase, a one week pause to set up SecurePoll, a three-day period of public discussion, followed by 7 days of no public discussion and a private vote using SecurePoll.
  • The outcomes of this process are identical to making requests for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA or administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

To avoid sending too many messages, this will be the last mass message sent about administrator elections. If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Administrator Elections: Discussion phase

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the October 2024 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • October 22–24 - Discussion phase
  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Discussion phase.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Hey. Unluckily enough, you were on top of the admin list at the recently active user page.

There's a user, Uttrakhandhistory, who keeps uploading copyrighted text to Wikipedia in spite of multiple warnings and blocks. It's probably a CIR situation. Because of that, Draft:Nantram singh negi has some edits that need to be revision-deleted. It's possible that further action (another block, etc.) is necessary.

RFA

I don't see this as above the threshold for removal on my part. Commenting on why an oppose is not convincing falls, I think, within acceptable discourse. It didn't seem over the top or bad faith, rather it looked to point out that they found the vote unconvincing because it looked to be a response to a current conflict rather than an assessment of the candidate. Obviously, reasonable people can disagree on where the lines are, but this isn't past the line for me.

Courtesy ping to TParis. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:02, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message and reasonable people can disagree. The comment doesn't look bad faith to me, sure, but I do find the wording or tone over the top. To me, "personal vindictiveness" is an attack on character, rather than on the content. If TParis had used your wording, nothing would be amiss. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:07, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not the wording I would have chosen (as my editing is perfect and above reproach), but I don't think it meets the threshold for me to strike or remove it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:13, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. My threshold to replace it with ((NPA)) as a non-monitor as also not met :). —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:15, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Folks - when did civility become only about words and not deeds. Someone is angry that their GA got denied, and is disrupting this RFA because of it. That is a civility issue - not my comments.--v/r - TP 14:17, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't disagree with that, either, but the threshold for removing or striking a vote is even higher. When I read it I was reminded of the oppose at my RFA because one of my nominators had blocked them years earlier. Per WP:MONITOR, however, it requires policy violations and no rational reason for the vote for removal. Opposing because you do not agree with the candidate's reading of a process is rational, so I'm this case we'll have to trust bureaucrats to give it appropriate weight. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:24, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see the oppose is starting to veer in the wrong direction now as well, TP, so I'm definitely not saying everybody else is an angel.
SFR: This may be me not quite up to date with what we agreed around monitors, but there are less drastic measures in the toolbox than removing !vote rationales, right? Like moving to talk or requesting people to focus on content. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 14:28, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's phrased as "normal moderation tools". I've got my eye on it. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:32, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well it seems we're mostly resolved - so I am going back to my video game. Replies from here on out won't be so responsive but I'll get to them eventually if there are anymore issues.-- v/r - TP 14:40, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
