My Belarusy

Thanks for doing the notifications! Just a note: as I am wearying of doing the bookkeeping for other editors, I am working towards encouraging them to do it themselves rather than doing it for them. In particular, it's troubling how often I read through FAR and have to ping the original nominator to please update the status, so we don't all have to go have a look. It is expected that the nominator will shepherd their own nom, and I'm finding I'm carrying too much of that burden. So I plan to stop doing that :) Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

@SandyGeorgia: I was willing to do it because it was this editor's first FAR, and I encouraged them to bring it forward. If it was their second or third one, I would insist that they do it themselves. Hopefully they will review other articles! Z1720 (talk) 19:14, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

In this case, I agree ... but was just explaining myself :) Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:19, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Good Job!

		The Good Jb! Award
		It's 4:30 in the morning where I am, but I simply couldn't wait on this; I'm highly thankful for your peer review contributions! After Sandy moved on, it was great to see another user carry the torch. By the way, the WikiCup plans on rewarding points for peer reviews in the following years, so hopefully that'll give some new eyes in the field. Now if you'll excuse, my fingers are confused and need sleep... Panini!🥪 09:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Mobileye

Hi Z1720. My name is Gideon, I work at Mobileye. I'm reaching out to you because I would like to collaborate on improving the company's article, and saw that you are both an active editor on the page and that you were willing to put a great amount of time and effort to respond to a request that was put up on the Talk page last year. I'm taking a new approach and just put up a new request there now, and would love to hear your thoughts, if you're willing. Thanks! Gideon at Mobileye (talk) 11:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

@Gideon at Mobileye: I spend less time these days responding to edit requests, but I encourage you to keep using the edit request system to suggest changes to the Mobileye article. I also encourage you to read through some featured articles like Legend Entertainment or which will give you a sense on how Wikipedia's best articles are written and formatted. Let me know if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 15:36, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Z1720, thanks so much for your response. I appreciate it, and will take a look at articles like Legend Entertainment. As for questions- for now, my edit request was more of a question/discussion point, as I'm hoping to engage others and collaborate towards a final draft, as opposed to simply requesting small changes. If something specific does come up, I will reach out to you for help. If you do decide to get involved, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts. Thanks again for your insight, Gideon at Mobileye (talk) 11:25, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

@Gideon at Mobileye: Although I wish request edits was more of a discussion, the reality is that most editors do not want to discuss COI edits because they want to work on their own articles. It will probably be faster if you write the exact wording you want to appear in the article and ensure that your changes conform to WP:WIKIVOICE, specifically that the text is not trying to promote the company, emphasize unimportant facts or remove unfavorable material. Please also ensure that your draft includes reliable, secondary sources (Wikipedia has a list of reliable and unreliable sources at WP:RS/P). Longer requests usually take longer to complete because editors are less interested in checking those edits, so please be patient and consider making smaller requests (or splitting up the request) if you are able to. Z1720 (talk) 19:06, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. Re taking longer- that makes sense and I'll do my best :) Thanks again. Gideon at Mobileye (talk) 13:25, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Z1720, I hope you are well. My previous edit request was discussed and implemented (thanks for closing it!) and I'm now hoping to gain some clarity regarding the controversy section of the Mobileye article. One editor has already stated his opinion, but I'm not sure his answer addressed the points I brought up. If you have the time, I'd really appreciate you taking a look at Talk:Mobileye. Looking forward to your input! Thank you, Gideon at Mobileye (talk) 09:31, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Evrovidenie/GA1

Z1720, there was a response to your latest GA review comment, but they didn't ping you, so you wouldn't have seen it. Thought I'd let you know! BlueMoonset (talk) 02:46, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

September 17 TFA

Hi Z1720. I see that you have pre-nominated NASA Astronaut Group 2 for the September 17 TFA. I was wondering if you would be open to considering allowing me to pre-nominate September 2019 events in the U.S. repo market instead? The reason I ask is that this article is about events that took place on this specific date, while it seems to me like NASA Astronaut Group 2 is perhaps less clearly tied to September 17 and could potentially run on any day. Of course feel free to let me know if you disagree, there's no pressure at all. JBchrch talk 01:22, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

@JBchrch: Yeah, I'm fine with that. Feel free to replace the nom. Z1720 (talk) 01:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Hubble Space Telescope

Hi Z1, Before I stopped actively editing on my account (I wasn't logged in yet, because I was in public) due to my new job, can you spot other problems in this article? I'm sure this article is very much in worse shape and a lot of the texts are uncited, but some editor wants to be specific, so I kind of went on to you instead, and so I can maybe sent it into FAR next week at least. 2001:4455:30B:6C00:D50:AF70:E49E:FD5D (talk) 14:09, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Depths of Wikipedia

Thanks for promoting Template:Did you know nominations/Depths of Wikipedia! I saw that you wikilinked the other articles mentioned in the hook – any chance you'd be willing to undo that? They're linked from Depths of Wikipedia anyway, and if they're also linked from the hook itself I anticipate that many viewers will click on one of those other articles rather than the article that's actually on DYK. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:20, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

@Ezlev: Done. I cannot guarantee that another editor will not add them back in, so I recommend watchlisting the Prep template. Z1720 (talk) 19:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

DYK for Carol Van Strum

Thank you Z172O for offering the alternative hooks. As I am just starting as a Wikipedia editor, this is my first page creation, and I had no idea what DYK was or how to submit for it before Michael Turnbull wrote me, I would say that the alternative hooks ALT 2b and ALT2d read well to me but I would leave it to those more experienced in the ways of DYK to choose the one most likely to grab a reader's attention. I had put 'barn' in not just because it is where the documents are but also because it sounded catchier to me than an expected word such as 'library'. Thanks for your help and consideration. Please let me know if there is anything I should do. Balance person (talk) 07:30, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

@Balance person: Thanks for your comment here. I see that the hook has been promoted, so continue to follow along the DYK process by going to Template:Did you know/Preparation area 2. If there's a problem with the hook (like someone changes the wording that makes the hook inaccurate) then post your concerns on the DYK talk page at WT:DYK. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. I hope DYK has been a positive experience for you. Happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 13:27, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild (nom)

I didn't really consider Buck Wild to be core cast, but we can change it to "none of the original core cast members" if you'd like, since buck wild was (thank god) not in Ice Age. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 17:48, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: I'm fine with this. There might be some OR concerns with "none of the original cast" but I think the information about the recasting in the reception section will cover this. Z1720 (talk) 18:12, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

don dunstan

hello, Z1720! i had a question regarding this blurb for this article. i know that a full date is often mentioned in a blurb when it is relevant to the blurb's run date, and this blurb is scheduled to run on the 55th anniversary of dunstan's first inauguration as premier, as mentioned in your tfa nomination. however, i was not sure how best to insert it without going over the limit of 1025 characters. i am assuming that replacing "in 1967" with "on 1 June 1967" would be the best way to insert the date.

to make space for the addition, how do you feel about either replacing "Although he lost the 1967 election" with "After resigning in 1968", or dropping the "in 1999" at the end? the article states that dunstan resigned due to losing a vote of confidence after the 1968 state election, as his party had lost two seats in the election (although technically he had won the election in order to keep the seat for norwood), so i think this rewording may be more accurate. (in addition, i think "1967" may have been meant to be "1968".) also, dunstan's year of death is mentioned in the lifespan at the start of the blurb, so no information would be lost by dropping "in 1999". dying (talk) 05:09, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

@Dying: Any of these solutions works for me. I welcome any improvements to the blurb. I have the template on my watchlist so I will look at your edits and if I have concerns I will contact you. Thanks for doing this. Z1720 (talk) 13:02, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

great, i ended up implementing the rewording and leaving the end of the blurb intact. thanks, Z1720! dying (talk) 22:35, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

"Removing copyright concerns"

Hi there, I'm alarmed by your recent edits at Yi Jeonggyu, like this one ([1]), which have edit descriptions like "removing copyright concerns", but involve no substantial changes. Replacing the word "about" with "approximately" does not make it any less of a copyvio issue - it just makes it harder for automated copyvio checkers to find the issues. Please don't do this! -- asilvering (talk) 04:16, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Asilvering: thanks for post your concerns here. This article is currently in the DYK queue prep, and I made the changes to try to bring the article closer to compliance with WP:PLAG. If there are plagiarism concerns, please post on WT:DYK so they can be sorted before this article appears on the main page. Z1720 (talk) 13:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Those changes would not bring it closer to compliance though - changing a single word does not change something that was plagiarism into something that isn't. So if you had plagiarism concerns strong enough to want to tinker with individual words, there is a plagiarism concern! (that you noticed!) You'd have to rewrite the sentence/paragraph to avoid it in that case. -- asilvering (talk) 22:30, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

A.C. Monza FA candidate

Hey, how's it going? I see you've reviewed football-related articles for FA in recent years. A.C. Monza has been a candidate for over three weeks, and there are almost no comments. I would really appreciate it if you took some time to leave a comment (it doesn't necessarily have to be a full review) :) Nehme₁₄₉₉ 21:12, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

@Nehme1499: Thanks for the invitation. I am not currently reviewing FACs (although I will probably be in August). To increase the likelihood that your article will be reviewed, my suggestion is to review as many other FACs as possible. This will reduce the number of FACs (as your review will help get it promoted) causing editors to be more likely to pick your FAC to review, it will build goodwill among the FAC community so others will want to review yours, and it causes editors to be confident that you understand the FA criteria and thus it will take less time to review your article. Many editors, including me, look at the FAC stats tool before deciding which articles to review, so having a good review-to-nomination ratio causes more editors to review your noms. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Z1720 (talk) 02:18, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

speed of light

Z1720, i had a question regarding this blurb for this article. would it be more appropriate to use the link "inertial reference frame" in the blurb, rather than "reference frame"? the article lead links to the more specific topic, though i was not sure if there was another reason for linking the more general topic in the blurb, such as a desire to avoid using overly technical terms on the main page. dying (talk) 21:41, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

@Dying: I am not a subject-matter expert on this so I am a bad person to ask. Maybe @XOR'easter: would have some better insights? Z1720 (talk) 21:45, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Rosepolicarpio (talk) 18:18, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

@Rosepolicarpio: thanks for creating articles on Wikipedia. I am going to avoid pointing out line-by-line where changes need to be made because that will take too much time for me. Instead, I highly encourage you to read WP:WIKIVOICE to get some understanding of the tone that Wikipedia articles need to be written in. Essentially, all opinionated statements that are presented as facts need to be reworded. For example, "Mamerto Natividad, Sr. a prominent lawyer and first martyr of Nueva Ecija" Wikipedia cannot state that this person was a prominent lawyer or that they were a martyr, as those are opinions and I doubt the Spanish authorities would consider him a martyr. Those types of statements need to be reworded. This is not the only example, so please look for opinionated statements throughout the whole article. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions. Z1720 (talk) 18:52, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

It seems to be open season at RfA at the moment, with lots (relatively speaking) of nominations going on, and you had a successful and encouraging ORCP recently, which correlates with my own spot-check of your activities.

Hi! I'm writing to ask about how to do footnotes correctly for my page on Gabe Hirschowitz because the page keeps getting rejected for not doing footnotes instead of inline citations yet in following the instructions on how to create footnotes I received the last time the page was rejected for this issue, I thought I had fixed the problem.

Autopatrolled granted

I noticed that you weren't autopatrolled when you set up your RfA.

Hi Z1720, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed' and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned prolific creators of articles where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 02:22, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

@Schwede66: Thanks for doing this. I had looked into being autopatrolled a couple of weeks ago, but saw that it suggested that I had created 25 articles, which I haven't done yet. Thank you for entrusting me with this permission, and let me know if there are any concerns with my editing. Z1720 (talk) 13:09, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

Correlation between hook length and viewcount on DYK

There isn't really a great way to collect data for this question – the best I could do is collect all of the viewcount data from July 2022, and measure it against the unadjusted hook length. Unsurprisingly, I found no correlation, linear or otherwise (m=-1.09 vph/char, R²=0.036). What would be a more insightful set of data is if we could measure the same hook fact in different wordings, through A/B testing. I'd be convinced that punchiness doesn't affect viewcount when I see that data turn up no correlation. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 06:32, 1 September 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.

DYK for Joseph-Alexandre Baile

On 9 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Joseph-Alexandre Baile, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Joseph-Alexandre Baile argued against the separation of the parish of Notre-Dame in Montreal, declaring it to be against civil law? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Joseph-Alexandre Baile. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Joseph-Alexandre Baile), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Chicxulub crater scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the Chicxulub crater article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 6, 2022. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 6, 2022, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:34, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I saw today on WP Evolutionary Biology that you've nominated this for FAR. Shame, if you'd put a note there instead of on the article's talk page a few weeks back, it'd all have been sorted by now. But we are where we are. I've today sourced the text, removed a few bits that seemed inapposite, renamed a couple of sections and removed some lists which didn't seem necessary. It certainly looks a lot better. I don't know whether it's possible to avoid the whole FAR machinery now that the lever has been pulled - that'd certainly be nicer; I'm basically allergic to reviews, and don't intend to make a habit of rescuing other people's work at FAR. But it'd be a pity if this grand old article by Rusty Cashman bit the dust, and there are very few editors left who seem to have the time, skill, or inclination to do serious work on evolutionary biology. Anything you can do will be gratefully appreciated. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:01, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Please help: Libelous content on DCG page

Hi, thanks for your previous help on the page Digital Currency Group. I was hoping you could help out again. I’ve written an urgent proposal about the section Digital Currency Group#Allegations of lending malfeasance at Talk:Digital Currency Group#Request to remove libelous content. I have a disclosed COI. Would you be able to take a look? Thanks much.CertifiedTurtle (talk) 16:26, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
