Pokémon Smile
Would you mind if I did some work on Pokémon Smile to prepare it for a potential GAN? It's a pretty small topic to begin with (A search yields mostly just news hits and reviews) but I feel there's definitely enough to improve it from its current state. I figured I'd ask in case you want to do the work and improve it yourself, given you created the page. If you'd like to hit it up instead, I can share the sources I found during my search so you don't have to do the work for that. If you are fine with me hitting up the article instead, would you like to be listed as co-nom if the article's in a state where a GAN is possible? Has one ever considered Magneton?

Miscellaneous: [7][8] (These two aren't reviews but are still technically opinion pieces) [9] (Can't see content due to paywall but it's a big source so) [10] (Opinion piece)
Coverage is a bit sparse and some of this may be repetitive, which is why I'm a bit cautious about the GA potential here. I think it's got a shot here, but it definitely depends on how much can be gleaned out of the opinion pieces. Gonna be a smaller end article, but perusing these sources should be quick. Paywalled source is annoying, so if it can't be accessed it's whatever, but it's worthwhile to save on the talk page if it doesn't pan out.
I've been super busy lately, and I have other projects that are higher priority than this one, so it might be a while before I can get Pokémon Smile to GA. I would be fine if you want to take over getting it to GA status, but I would appreciate being listed as a co-nom. Thanks, QuicoleJR (talk) 14:41, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!
The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!
All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.
Generalissima (submissions) wins the featured article prize for 3 FAs in round 4, and 7 FAs overall.
Muboshgu (submissions) wins the ITN prize, for 15 In the news articles in round 1, and 36 overall.
Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition. Until then, it only remains to once again congratulate our worthy winners, and thank all participants for their involvement!
Thanks. The extra "the" feels very clunky to me, especially given that "the future" repeats in the next sentence. The letter has a weird history, as I drafted it (Brit) in a hurry, based on frankensteining writing from several different editors from all over the place, but honestly I think we're best just leaving the wording alone now that people are trying to sign. It was always going to be quick and dirty rather than long and polished given that our aim is to get a weight of signatures by the 8th, ie today!

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
You removed a section "Not important enough to warrant using a primary source. If it was that important, reliable sources would mention it"
How is a primary source not "a reliable source" in an biographical context? How can a source be more reliable than the individual themselves stating something? 70.54.24.177 (talk) 05:14, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is reliable for statements about the person, yes, but it doesn't show importance. We need a reliable secondary source, such as a book or a news article, to show that those specific statements are important enough to include. If we included every tweet by a famous person, it would be nearly impossible to manage, and some articles would probably crash the site. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:29, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirects work perfectly fine here
You may want to rethink that. Redirects require additional computation cycles, putting additional load on the servers and costing energy that wouldn't be spent with direct links. It adds up with billions of accesses to the Wikipedia site. — Foxtrot1296(talk)20:15, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
hello, i have add a new section about 4 th gen of run flat tire which have some improvement compared to old version but my section was deleted, you said that the reference is pointing to promotional article which is not. could i know how to improve it? MohamedEldemrdash (talk) 10:53, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That section appeared to be written in a way that tries to convince people to buy those tires. It also cited only a website you appear to work for as a source to support that information. I appreciate that you want to help, but please keep in mind NPOV and CITESELF while adding to articles. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank You for....
nomination #565. As is my habit, I spend a little time at the next editors user and talk page before the actual awarding. What a treat! After the new year, I plan on asking her for assistance on some Washington community articles that have been on my back burner for years. Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 20:47, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for good article nomination reviews will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog.
Barnstars will be awarded based on the number, length, and age of nominations reviewed.
Each article review will earn 1 point; for each 90 days an article has been in the backlog, an additional half-point is awarded; one extra point will be awarded for every 2500 total reviewed words.
Spread the Christmas spirit by adding {{subst:User:Matty.007/template/Christmas}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message. If everyone who got this put it on two talk pages, we would have... lots of Christmas spirit! Have fun finding links in this message!
