If you seek wisdom, you have likely come to the wrong place, but I will do my best.
If you come with insults or put-downs, at least make them clever.
If I haven't replied in 48 hours, either I forgot or I assumed you didn't want a reply.
I review good article nominations on request, but only if it's about a country where I've never done a review before (see the last column in my articles per country) and if you've reviewed more articles than you've nominated.

The article Kgari Sechele II you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Kgari Sechele II and Talk:Kgari Sechele II/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Hello. I hope that my comments on the Iron Man FAC are not too annoying or cause any issues. I have a quick question for you about the future of Iron Man in the comics. Spencer Ackerman will be writing the next run for the character (according to here and here). Should that be mentioned in the Iron Man article? It may be best to wait until the issue actually comes out, but it seems like it will played as a big deal as it is a relaunch with a new armor. I did not want to distract too much from the ongoing discussions on the FAC page so I thought it may be more appropriate to raise this to your attention on your talk page instead. Best of luck with the FAC and I hope you are doing well.

No worries at all! Additional feedback is the most valuable part of FAC in my opinion. I went ahead and added the info, and I expect to keep the article updated over time.

Hello. Just to say, you should never calculate vote figures yourself by back-calculating them based on valid votes and percentages. Because percentages are only to a certain number of decimal places, the numbers they equate to can be quite wide ranging. For example, the 48.7% of the vote that Tabai received in 1982 could equate to anything between 9,159 and 9,177. Vote figures should only be added when we have a source with the actual number.

Interestingly this source puts his vote total at 9,145, which would be 48.6%, and Teannaki's at 5,365, which does match the 28.5% given in the Nohlen book. Unfortunately even with those two's vote figures, I cannot find a source with the figures for Teangana and Ratieta...

Congrats on getting Iron Man to FA status! You have done an amazing job with it, and it's so nice to finally have another comics character article besides Anarky that has FA status. I agree with Aoba in hoping that Iron Man's success helps prompt the reworking and promotion of other character articles in the future. I also hope that my nitpicky comments didn't get too annoying. I really wanted the article to succeed and be promoted to FA, but I also wanted to ensure I did an actual review of its content, rather than half-assing it, and help make it better.

The_Wordsmith, yeah, you're not wrong and I don't plan on pushing it any further. From my perspective, it's a matter of people pretending this problem doesn't exist and making it worse by doing so, but it looks like admins have finally confirmed that these editors are in fact being disruptive at AE and are considering an ARBCOM case against them.

Hey there. I was thinking. Your work on Iran Man is, in my eyes, the gold standard moving forward with articles for other comics characters. Your work on other pages like War Machine and Black Widow is also well-written. But I'm curious, how could one go about writing the pages for DC characters?
With Marvel, we've only ever had one mainstream universe; Earth-616. But with DC, from the Golden Age to now there's been 4 separate main continuities, and each one often portrays characters quite differently and with a different backstory. To give an example, how would one go about writing the Silver Banshee article? Before Flashpoint, she was Siobhan McDougal and essentially a ghost from the Middle Ages. But after Flashpoint, she was Siobhan Smythe; a young adult from the modern era.
Would we just create two separate sections in her "Biography" section? Or for before and one for after Flashpoint? And what about a "Personality and Motivations" section? The McDougal and Smythe version have vastly different moralities and goals. Any thoughts?

When in doubt, I try to get the information down first and see how it might be organized afterward. I'd guess that two biography subsections would probably be necessary, and other sections about personality/themes could cover all of the major aspects, specifying what applies to what as well as comparing and contrasting the different versions, assuming the sources exist for that. And if the sources don't exist for that, the given article might be better off as a section in one of the lists of characters.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for all the work you put into the Iron Man page. It's inspiring to see, especially since there aren't enough fictional character articles that are Featured Articles.
If you have any interest in working on the pages for Darth Vader or Princess Leia, those are two articles about extremely notable characters which amazingly are not even Good Articles. I've done a lot of work on both of them, but have now moved on from working on Star Wars pages. Just a thought. Thanks again for your contributions to Wikipedia.

The fourth round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 29 August. Each of the 8 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 472 points, and the following contestants scored more than 700 points:
Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated. Contestants put in extraordinary amounts of effort during this round, and their scores can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 36 featured articles, 55 featured lists, 15 good articles, 93 in the news credits, and at least 333 did you know credits. They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to featured topics and good topics.
Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. If two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.
You shouldn't have made this revert. The source appears to be faulty. Two of the buildings you claim were completed/opened in 2001 were actually completed/opened in 2000. Besides, now that those entries that were correct have been moved to 2001 in architecture, you're just duplicating what is in the main article. Hardly any of the content is of international significance and it doesn't belong in the introduction.

Thanks for closing that discussion - it was getting a bit stale, and was past the 30-day length for an RFC for a while.
I have a couple of questions for you:
You mentioned the count before discarding votes was 12-11; I counted 12-12. Did you consider 2601:600:817F:16F0:DDAC:53F8:F543:7659's comments? They made an unbolded vote, with improper threading (sticking theirs up top, later than other replies)
After discarding votes that "show no understanding of the matter of issue" or provided no rationale whatsoever, the count I get is 8-10, whereas you came up with 11-8. Whose votes did you discard in this manner to get this count?
Now the most subjective question: after throwing out votes that "flatly contradict established policy" - like applying WP:SIGCOV to a question of verifiability (when it's a notability test, for making a standalone article on a topic), or simply claiming inserting would fail WP:NPOV without seriously engaging in the substance of discussion on why - the count I get is 5-10. This would certainly seem like a stronger consensus of editors who supported inclusion.

I did count 2601's unbolded !vote. It was a rough count by hand, so it's possible I was slightly off in either direction, but certainly not enough that it would have moved the needle on consensus. Here's the list I wrote out in my scratchwork:

Do let me know if you happen to notice anyone I missed. The !votes that didn't have a substantial rationale or focused on procedural issues instead of the subject were:
Option 2 is the right choice. Even with the Wikipedia liberal bias, Option 2 should be approved.
I would support either Option 2 or Option 4 with no preference between the two. I also think the article should be frozen in Option 2 so as to not endorse either of the sides while the debate is ongoing.
Option 2 Seems to be the most reasonable, omitting it entirely is partisan hackery.
Option 4 first choice, option 1 second choice. And AfD might work, as the criteria are so fuzzy, but probably not, because of the sourcing.
Again, giving those !votes full weight or no weight wouldn't be quite enough to sway consensus in my opinion, so my focus was not on exactly how much weight should be given to these four. I was reserved in which !votes I weighed down so long as they gave some sort of rationale. There was support for these interpretations of coverage and POV, even if they didn't invoke the policy or guideline I would have applied.

The missing !vote was AjaxSmack. Though they declined to participate in the discussion (which, in AP2, can you blame them?), they were the original proposer of the content into the article, so I notched them as a general 2/4 vote.
I also struck 3 of those 4 you did. Though, Chaptagai cited TE(æ)A,ea. (which I read as a "per TE(æ)A,ea." vote) and had participated extensively in the BEFORE discussion which hasn't even been archived yet. It's not fair to discount their vote as "no rationale."

I looked over the other discussions, but I limited the actual counting to what was in the RfC itself. I agree it can be a little subjective in whether mentioning someone counts as a "per" !vote, so like I said, I wouldn't object if someone found the actual !votes to be one or two different from my count.

ok... so the vote count might be a little fuzzy.
What do you have to say to further discounting votes that flatly contradict established policy - like applying WP:SIGCOV to a question of verifiability (when it's a notability test, for making a standalone article on a topic), or simply claiming inserting would fail WP:NPOV without seriously engaging in the substance of discussion on why. I feel that one can't simply cite a policy to give their !vote weight, and that such !votes should be weighted on the merits of how closely that policy applies - especially if such policy contradictions were noted by other discussion participants.

I say that a different interpretation isn't necessary wrong, or at least not so egregiously wrong in this case that the !voters should be chastised or ignored. The point of the RfC was to determine which policies applied, and they argued it was those policies. Others disagreed.

I'm not sure that sits quite right with me... that an editor can obstinately cite policy in a way that doesn't really apply, yet in the end their !vote (which, in the absence of a policy-based prohibition on content, is starting to feel an awful lot more like a vote) carries the same weight as one more closely aligned to policy?

They don't apply, in your opinion. You're welcome to disagree with their rationales, but that's the point of the RfC. It's still relevant, and that's the argument they put forward. You disagreed with it. That's part of the process.

Huh. And so it is. "If the discussion shows that some people think one policy is controlling, and some another, the closer is expected to close by judging which view has the predominant number of responsible Wikipedians supporting it." When it comes down to it, RFCs are really just a vote. A vote of responsible people, sure. But a vote nonetheless.
That's a disappointing conclusion, considering how much I see WP:NOTVOTE cited around the site... but I suppose that's how it is.

I understand, but 2020 is one of the worst years in human history, so I was hoping for that article to be improved to GA-status. No matter how long that will take, I'm sure the end result will be great! Can't wait to see what you have in store for year articles in general.

There's also the question of what sources would be used, because there are three series that have been crucial and they might not help here. By far the most useful source, Britannica Year in Review, was retired in 2018. There's a Time yearbook for 2020, but I can only see the preview and it's unclear how much information it has in a global context (would be great for 2020 in the United States though). Presumably there's an Annual Register for 2020, but I can't find anything about it.

Maybe 2020 is too recent. How about working on older years before moving to more recent ones? That seems like the best solution, as far as access to useful sources is concerned.

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

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.
