Thanks and a note

Thanks for the note at WT:FAC. I agree with everything you say, but just wanted to post a note about you not working on content. If I had to give up content work to do administrative work around here I would burn out. I hope you're not feeling under any obligation not to submit your work to FAC. And if the coordinator workload is high enough that you really can't spare the time, perhaps we could do with another active coordinator? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 17:49, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

It shouldn't be that long of a break - maybe a couple of months max. And mostly it's because I need to focus on off-wiki stuff. I do research/writing/editing off wiki so it's not like I need the wiki stuff to feel creative in that line of things. I'll get back to research here more in the winter, likely, when I'm more stuck in the house. Right now it's hard to stay inside when it's 65 degrees, sunny, with a light breeze outside... --Ealdgyth (talk) 18:36, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

It's mid-70s here, but if I step outside I'll get handed a shovel and pointed at a yard of mulch, so I'm working on articles instead. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 18:50, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

I need to week the veggie garden, but will do that when the spouse gets back to work sometime this week. --Ealdgyth (talk) 18:59, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Well, over here it's been all rainy so far but the main reason for me to stay inside and away from large Wikipedia work are the university exams. In one-two weeks they'll be over and then I can go back to my backlog. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:39, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

FAC Nomination

You look like you're fantastically busy, and so I probably shouldn't bother you. However, as my first FAC nomination for Hyborian War was going up in flames, you commented on the review with Gog the Mild and you also mentioned you had some sources for early gaming. If you're still interested in games from this period (and you have time), I'd be happy for a review. I'd rather see the second nomination go up in flames again vs. sit unreviewed for months, (although it did get an image review). Thanks for your time. Airborne84 (talk) 01:40, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

WikiCup 2020 July newsletter

The third round of the 2020 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it into the fourth round each had at least 353 points (compared to 68 in 2019). It was a highly competitive round, and a number of contestants were eliminated who would have moved on in earlier years. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• Epicgenius, with one featured article, 28 good articles and 17 DYKs, amassing 1836 points
• The Rambling Man , with 1672 points gained from four featured articles and seventeen good articles, plus reviews of a large number of FACs and GAs
• Gog the Mild, a first time contestant, with 1540 points, a tally built largely on 4 featured articles and related bonus points.

Between them, contestants managed 14 featured articles, 9 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 152 good articles, 136 DYK entries, 55 ITN entries, 65 featured article candidate reviews and 221 good article reviews. Additionally, MPJ-DK added 3 items to featured topics and 44 to good topics. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 710 good article reviews, in comparison to 387 good articles submitted for review and promoted. These large numbers are probably linked to a GAN backlog drive in April and May, and the changed patterns of editing during the COVID-19 pandemic. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.

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.

Dorian's Met

Could Meteorological history of Hurricane Dorian be added to the urgents list? I asked Ian and posted on the nomination about a week ago without response. It has two supports, but likely needs another review as well as a SR. Noah^Talk 01:22, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Sybil (wife of Pain fitzJohn)

The article Sybil (wife of Pain fitzJohn) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Sybil (wife of Pain fitzJohn) for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Harrias -- Harrias (talk) 08:02, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Archiving Cymmer Colliery explosion FAC

Gog talk, article talk, and Nikkimaria talk.

I suggest your archiving of this FAC discussion was unnecessarily hasty. I had addressed all the points raised by Gog the Mild. The discussion was ongoing and they have now been denied the opportunity to respond and reconsider their initial recommendation. Please read the full discussion carefully and note their comment from 5 July: "If you could get them satisfactorily sorted within, say, a week, then we can move on." Other editors were also yet to respond after my revisions of the article, where was the consensus?  ~ RLO1729^💬 19:46, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

I didn't see any consensus to promote, I didn't see any chance of it getting close to promoting. My suggestion is to work on it outside of the hothouse atmosphere of FAC and get it closer to ready. @MikeChristie: may also be able to help you with some helpful suggestions. Also, Sandy, do you want to help out here? --Ealdgyth (talk) 20:23, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

RLO, I will pitch in and have a look when I am home, traveling now on iphone, and will offer suggestions. Archival is often the fastest route to promotion, as it affords you two weeks to come back in top shape, with a shorter and easier FAC, that is more likely to engage more reviewers. Gog the Mild is a good reviewer, and suggesting withdrawal really works as the fastest route to the bronze star, so please do not be discouraged. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:05, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to help but may not have time; I've watchlisted the article and will see. Ealdgyth, the ping failed since there's a space in my username, just FYI. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

I've encouraged RLO1729 to join in here for a discussion of their frustration. I still have much more to say (surprise, surprise :), but will hold off for now to give RLO some breathing room. I still think we could have this article ready for a fresh FAC within the two weeks from its archival, hopefully having developed a better understanding among all along the way. Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:09, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Signpost Interview

Hello! I'm Puddleglum2.0, a writer for the Wikipedia newsletter The Signpost. I was planning on putting together an interview with coordinators and delegates involved in the Featured Content projects for the August edition, but before putting together the questions, I wanted to gauge coords interest to see if it will be worth doing. Thanks for your work and thoughts! Cheers -- puddleglum^2.0 19:51, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Well, I'm not sure this is the best time - one of our coords is somewhat inactive because of the pandemic, so it's not going to get much from him. --Ealdgyth (talk) 16:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
