Thank you for your share in the article, introduced: "This article was first FAC nominated by Therapyisgood last year, who withdrew it, but with their blessing, I and Jens have since worked on it because it was a shame to let the good work go to waste."! -- (forgot to sign) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:28, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made Leif Segerstam my big story today. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:34, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy whatever you celebrate today, - more who died, more to come, and they made the world richer. Greetings from Madrid where I took the pic of assorted Cucurbita in 2016. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:45, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome! Thanks for writing this article, on a topic that is still quite underrepresented in Wikipedia! --Jens Lallensack (talk) 17:44, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for advice

Hey Jens! 😊 Thanks again for reviewing my article on the Diaspora Revolt and giving it GA status! It just went live on DYK today. When you wrapped up the review, you recommended considering nominating it for Featured Article status. Since I'm new to that process, could you share any tips? For example, how do I know if a peer review is needed beforehand? Thanks again! Mariamnei (talk) 05:59, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! The only (minor) issue I can see at the moment are references in the lead (everything is supposed to be repeated, and sourced, in the main text anyways, so we don't usually have references in the lead, but some exceptions might apply). I personally think you should send it straight to WP:FAC. However, I am not an expert on the topic – maybe we can ask UndercoverClassicist if they see any showstoppers at first glance? --Jens Lallensack (talk) 22:46, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mariamnei and Jens Lallensack: I have replied on the article's Talk page, to avoid cluttering this one up. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 07:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cherry-throated tanager scheduled for TFA

Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 2025, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/January 2025. Please keep an eye on that page, as notifications of copy edits to or queries about the draft blurb may be left there by user:JennyOz, who assists the coordinators by reviewing the blurbs, or by others.

December 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Giganotosaurus. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Bowler the Carmine | talk 20:43, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bowler the Carmine: I was reverting vandalism by a new account that so far has done nothing but vandalism. You could leave that message on their talk page but I'm not sure it will have any effect. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 20:51, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the type of obvious vandalism exempt from the policy against edit warring. If there is persistent disruptive behavior from a user, WP:ANI is the place to go; reverting number changes without providing any explanation or starting a discussion isn't an option. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:06, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, that makes sense. I've never been involved with WP:ANI, and I surely should figure out how that works. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 21:22, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Thank you today for Cherry-throated tanager, introduced as "One of the word's most endangered birds, with currently only 20 individuals known. I was able to get permission to use three photographs; previously we didn't had a single one."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
