MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC) hello again after several years!Hello, @Kj cheetham! I don't know if this rings a bell, but I'm a college professor and in 2020 ran a class in which students added new scientist biographies to wikipedia! I was a complete wiki novice and you coincidentally found our bios and helped out a ton - thank you again! I'm running the class again and our next round of pages went live yesterday. And I was so delighted to see that you found some of them again! I hope you're well, and thanks for being such a gem! Best, Christine Csoconn (talk) 20:02, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Rebecca Spindler publicationsI noticed you put an "overly detailed section" tag under Rebecca Spindler#Publications. It was overwhelming and I removed references that were not cited much and/or where she was a middle author. I could probably knock a few more off but this isn't my field and I think I left ones where her notability lies. Ditto for the books. I also added citation templates. Do you feel the tag can be removed now? Nnev66 (talk) 20:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Additional NPP Reviews?Hi there @Kj cheetham, It's been a while since we chatted; I hope all is well with you. I remember asking you a while ago if you could review some articles I brought over from the Russian Wikipedia (thank you by the way for those reviews). If you are open to it, can you review more of my articles and mark them if they're satisfactory? Here are just some articles I have in NPP that need reviewing: Tenderlybae, Mary Gu, Vacío (rapper), Matrang, Smoky Mo, Thrill Pill, and TNT Music. If you are open to do more, just let me know and I'll send some more articles your way. Thanks in advance for your help! Disclaimer: you'll see at the top of the pages that there is an expansion tag for other editors to know that not everything was/could be brought over, so don't be alarmed if the articles seem empty.

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