April 2023
I've gone ahead with the re-nomination of the James Madison article. There is a rewritten Slavery section now per some of your comments from 2 months ago. Possibly you could finish the Source and Image review which you had started 2 months ago if time allows. Cheers. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:32, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

ACR woes
Hi, I recently put Maurice Suckling back up for ACR after my last attempt was hijacked by enforced absence. I've clearly done something wrong with the nomination as it hasn't turned up on the review page. Any ideas what? Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:44, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
False accusation
You accused me of making an unconstructive edit when I was merely correcting an error in a date field in an article I stumbled across. I believe my edit was correct, as the date is the same as your subsequent revision. I don't appreciate your threat of loss of editing privileges just for trying to help. 64.43.178.132 (talk) 23:18, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Terribly sorry. My apologies. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:23, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
- Apology accepted. 64.43.178.132 (talk) 23:52, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Recent changes
- The date-selection menu on pages such as Special:Contributions will now show year-ranges that are in the current and past decade, instead of the current and future decade. This feature request was voted #145 in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey. [12]
Problems
- Due to security issues with the Graph extension, graphs have been disabled in all Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia Foundation teams are working to respond to these vulnerabilities. [13]
- For a few days, it was not possible to save some kinds of edits on the mobile version of a wiki. This has been fixed. [14][15][16]
Changes later this week

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter
The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
- Iazyges (1040) with three FAs on Byzantine emperors, and lots of bonus points.
- Unlimitedlead (847), with three FAs on ancient history, one GA and nine reviews.
- Epicgenius (636), a WikiCup veteran, with one FA on the New Amsterdam Theatre, four GAs and eleven DYKs
- BennyOnTheLoose (553), a seasoned competitor, with one FA on snooker, six GAs and seven reviews.
- FrB.TG (525), with one FA, a Lady Gaga song and a mass of bonus points.
Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

Orphaned non-free image File:Iconic image of Anna Fisher.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Iconic image of Anna Fisher.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:30, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
