Featured Article Save Award

On behalf of the FAR coordinators, thank you, Olivaw-Daneel! Your work on J. K. Rowling has allowed the article to retain its featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. I hereby award you this Featured Article Save Award, or FASA. You may display this FA star upon your userpage. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Nikkimaria (talk) 18:46, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Kidnapping of Peter Weinberger/GA1

Hello

I note that you promoted this article to GA status, when you had not conducted the review. The review process was still open and awaiting matters raised in the review. I will assume good faith that you were exploring Novem Linguae's script and that you reverted your action. Please take care with this tool, in future. --Whiteguru (talk) 21:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

@Whiteguru: Hello, yes it was an ipad misclick! Apologies for the trouble. I did not realize that the script would load on GANs where I was not the reviewer, and a stray finger on a touchscreen put it into action. I reverted myself immediately, so I trust everything’s ok now. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 22:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Olivaw-Daneel:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in July 2022!

Running from July 1 to 31, 2022, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event focused on the topic of women and the environment. Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works during the event period (with an emphasis on environmental links and topics). GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to receive a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

WikiCup 2022 July newsletter

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

• BennyOnTheLoose, with 746 points, a tally built both on snooker and other sports topics, and on more general subjects.
• Bloom6132, with 683 points, garnered mostly from "In the news" items and related DYKs.
• Sammi Brie, with 527, from a variety of submissions related to radio and television stations.

Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. 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 a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything 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!

The Rain Wild Chronicles: to do?

You know what is the reward for a job well done... :P _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:53, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@Piotrus: Sure, I'm working on it. Seems sad for that alone to be a redirect. Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 05:50, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

WikiCup 2022 September newsletter

The fourth round of the WikiCup has now finished. 383 points were required to reach the final, and the new round has got off to a flying start with all finalists already scoring. In round 4, Bloom6132 with 939 points was the highest points-scorer, with a combination of DYKs and In the news items, followed by BennyOnTheLoose, Sammi Brie and Lee Vilenski. The points of all contestants are swept away as we start afresh for the final round.

At this stage, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For the remaining competitors, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them, and importantly, before the deadline on October 31st!

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Your GA nomination of This Census-Taker

The article This Census-Taker you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:This Census-Taker 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.

The Farseer trilogy

I was reminded of this trilogy today, and amused myself by skimming for sources. I found you'd already covered almost everything scholars have to say about the series: nice work! I did find a number of magazine reviews listed at ISFDB, which might be useful if you every try to expand it. I don't think it's far off of FA standards, should you wish to take a shot at that. Regards, Vanamonde (Talk) 13:34, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Vanamonde93, thanks for the friendly note! Yes, I would like to take that article to FAC, but I'd like to make some tweaks first (I wrote it a year ago and looking at it now, I think the flow and prose can be improved). And I'll see if I can access those magazines. Can I ping you when I open a PR? Olivaw-Daneel (talk) 06:24, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

I've watchlisted it, so I'll take a look at the PR, but if you don't mind I'd quite like to chip in myself; I quite enjoy synthesizing book reviews, and I found some material that's likely usable. Karellen93 (talk) (Vanamonde93's alternative account) 18:47, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
