Question from DelphisNovels (13:04, 26 June 2024)

Hi there, I would like to add my book By the Horn of the South to a possible Media section in the Wikipedia entry Hanno the Navigator. The book is a fictionalised account of the journey that Hanno supposedly took. It has received many 5* reviews on Amazon etc. As far as I am aware it is the only fictionalised account of this journey in any medium, visual, audio or written. Surely it is worth a mention? Is it possible though? Many thanks in advance for your help. DelphisNovels --DelphisNovels (talk) 13:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Dangerous Silence ( 2022 short film)

Hello, Praseodymium-141. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Dangerous Silence".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^Read! Talk! 18:18, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

I don't think this is supposed to be directed to me. ^141Pr -_\contribs/- 19:38, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Elements at B

I know that you were working on a few elements trying to get them to GA-level recently. I have similar goals but don't want to take over anything you were working on. Noted overlap was on Cerium. Anywhere else you want to reserve for your own projects, just let me know. I've got a lot of resources lined up for the Rare Earths and can probably improve the sourcing on neodymium since that was its main problem last time - many rare earths have issues in regards to health and safety to with relation to new literature. Reconrabbit 13:58, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

I haven't worked on those elements in the past few weeks, so you can probably take over all of them. I might want to work on other elements in a few months, but probably not cerium or neodymium in the near future. Good luck on potential GANs! ^141Pr -_\contribs/- 14:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello mentor!

I have recently updated crucial information on different pages without an account, just to be blocked by an admin stating abuse.

I'm wondering if I can somehow merge or move my previous progress into this new account.

Thanks for your cooperation. --Abdullah al-Aghaa (talk) 09:54, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

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.

Hey how do I get followers on Wikipedia? --Shaqular zanemvila (talk) 19:20, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

You don't get followers on Wikipedia really. That's a social media thing. We're here to write an encyclopedia and any individual recognition is just incidental. Reconrabbit 21:35, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
