Thank you for this one, and improving more quality articles in February. - The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). -- (forgot to sign)
- Thank you! (Sorry for the late response, I completely forgot to reply to this.) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 21:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
more music and flowers on Rossini's rare birthday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:05, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting, Gerda Arendt! I gave Petite messe solennelle a read; and the opening of the piece seems very, very quiet according to the image! Of course, if I were to play this right now I'd absolutely fail. :P ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 21:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Did you listen? A social distancing performance for the original scoring - well, just one piano instead of two. The full mass is on YouTube, if you are interested. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- I'll make sure to listen to it very soon! Abiding by your description, it sounds interesting. :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 02:42, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Uncomplicate (21:44, 15 February 2024)
Hi again. I recently added details about an NBA player who was arrested a couple hours before his NBA game, but I wasn’t sure whether to put the details in professional career or personal life, since it occurred in the parking lot of where he was going to be playing and with another player. I put it in personal life since, even though it happened in the arena parking lot, it technically had nothing to do with the game, but an IP editor moved it. Does Wikipedia have guidelines to help direct editors for situations where one’s personal life interferes and is heavily connect with their work life? --Uncomplicate (talk) 21:44, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello again, @Uncomplicate! Yes, I believe that's a conflict-of-interest. ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 21:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- I meant is there guidelines for where to put information about an event for someone if the situation crosses into both the subject’s personal and professional life. Because biographies about athletes usually separate info about professional career from personal life. Here was my edit I’m not sure which section is better. Uncomplicate (talk) 22:14, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- Based on my knowledge, @Uncomplicate, I don't think there's a guideline as to where information about an event of a subject goes in a specific section, such as the subject's personal and professional life mentioned above. I think originally putting it in the "Personal life" section was better, since it really didn't have much to do with his professional career. ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 22:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from Halfsquareprints (10:18, 19 February 2024)
Hi, I had a quick question about citations. How many citations would you say is required for a given article. I originally listed multiple citations but recently had some of them removed because apparently they weren't all credible. What would be some examples of credible citations if the person I'm writing an article about is an up and coming actor? --Halfsquareprints (talk) 10:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @Thefatherferret770!
- For your first question about the amount of references required for an article, there really isn't. Instead, there should be a reliable reference verifying each sentence (or paragraph) with information in the article, especially if the material is likely to be challenged and if the person is subject to the biographies of living persons policy.
- The reason why the citations you added were removed on Zachary Garmers is because they were either unreliable (such as the Daily Mail source removed here – that source is deprecated, as well as the IMDb sources removed here – they're unreliable per WP:IMDB) or failed to verify content in the article (such as this removal, in which those two sources don't mention the subject).
- If you're going to write a notable actor, you should use reliable, in-depth, published sources that have significant coverage of the subject to establish notability of the subject. If those don't exist, then the subject isn't reliable, sadly. I don't think the subject also meets notability guidelines for actors, given that the subject likely has not had significant roles in films or made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. And unfortunately, there's no sources to establish notability of the subject (although there is a Rotten Tomatoes source mentioning him – but that source is not in-depth in its coverage and thus does not establish notability of the subject), and thus the article is nominated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zachary Garmers. ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 18:43, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Hello, @JANASHVILI! I'm not quite sure what you mean by "I write information in wikipedia and this was and that was very little text, wikipedia tell me abt that and I add some information but in the page still is warning and this page can be deleted". Can you please clarify? Thanks! ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 19:21, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- I wrote a small article about the Janashvili family, Wikipedia put a template on my page saying that the article might be deleted because the information was insufficient, so I added the information, but there is still a deletion warning template on this page. Please help me and tell me what to do about this JANASHVILI (talk) 19:25, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- JANASHVILI, I'm pretty sure this is regarding your sandbox, User:JANASHVILI/sandbox. That page is not tagged with a "warning template", nor for deletion. ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 20:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @JANASHVILI: Is this regarding ka:ჯანაშვილები? If so, it might be better to ask for help on the Georgian Wikipedia, as editors there may be more familiar with its processes. All the best, —a smart kitten[meow] 20:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:2023 Interstate 55 crash
Hello, Tails Wx. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "2023 Interstate 55 crash".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 04:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-09
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- The mobile visual editor is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis. Research shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well. [6]
- The mw.config value
wgGlobalGroups
now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is:if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))
. [7]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 29 February (calendar). [8][9]
Future changes
- The right to change edit tags (
changetags
) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in this ticket to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.

Question from WikiLover245 (16:33, 27 February 2024)
Hello, I was wondering how do I make a Wikipedia page from scratch? --WikiLover245 (talk) 16:33, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @WikiLover245! If you're interested in creating an article, you may find the Article Wizard or Help:Your first article useful. Happy editing! ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 22:07, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
WikiCup 2024 March newsletter
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
- Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
- Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
- AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
- Sammi Brie (submissions), who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
- MaranoFan (submissions), who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
- Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV (submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, 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 it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. 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.

- The
Special:Book
page (as well as the associated "Create a book" functionality) provided by the old Collection extension has been removed from all Wikisource wikis, as it was broken. This does not affect the ability to download normal books, which is provided by the Wikisource extension. [10] - Wikitech now uses the next-generation Parsoid wikitext parser by default to generate all pages in the Talk namespace. Report any problems on the Known Issues discussion page. You can use the ParserMigration extension to control the use of Parsoid; see the ParserMigration help documentation for more details.
- Maintenance on etherpad is completed. If you encounter any issues, please indicate in this ticket.
- Gadgets allow interface admins to create custom features with CSS and JavaScript. The
Gadget
andGadget_definition
namespaces andgadgets-definition-edit
user right were reserved for an experiment in 2015, but were never used. These were visible on Special:Search and Special:ListGroupRights. The unused namespaces and user rights are now removed. No pages are moved, and no changes need to be made. [11] - A usability improvement to the "Add a citation" in Wikipedia workflow has been made, the insert button was moved to the popup header. [12]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 March. It will be on all wikis from 7 March (calendar). [13][14]

Tech News: 2024-11
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar). [16][17]
- After consulting with various communities, the line height of the text on the Minerva skin will be increased to its previous value of 1.65. Different options for typography can also be set using the options in the menu, as needed. [18]
- The active link color in Minerva will be changed to provide more consistency with our other platforms and best practices. [19]
- Structured data on Commons will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost. [20]
Future changes
- All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on March 20. This is planned at 14:00 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [21][22]

Question from AtlantaWeatherChaser (03:07, 17 March 2024)
Hey! So I know that there is a portion of the Newnan EF4 tornado but not fully in depth of it. I was wondering where to start to make it and what sources have the best references for weather articles. --AtlantaWeatherChaser (talk) 03:07, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hiya, @AtlantaWeatherChaser! You can start working on it by creating a draft on the Newnan EF4 tornado, given that if it meets the general notability guideline or notability guidelines for events. Also, I can't really give an answer for what sources have "the best references" for weather-related articles, but if you're looking for what sources are reliable, I think sources such as the National Weather Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and even local media and news sources that cover weather information are reliable, for a start. Feel free to ask further questions about finding more reliable sources. Thanks, and happy editing! ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 00:56, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Rainier28 (01:48, 20 March 2024)
Hi Tails,
I'm trying to edit the biography of Gerard Dubois (chef). I made a writeup with the help of chatgpt. I edited the content for Gerard Dubois, but DanCherek keeps on deleting all the information.
How can I edit Gerard's biography on wikipedia? --Rainier28 (talk) 01:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hiya, @Rainier28! I highly don't recommend using ChatGPT to write or add information to articles, you can see Wikipedia:Large language models for further information regarding the use of ChatGPT and other LLMs on articles. Additionally, I'll have to agree with DanCherek here – it was not only promotional, but also entirely unsourced, adding on to an article that adheres to the biographies of living persons policy. However, if you'd like to add the content back, I highly encourage you not to use ChatGPT to write it, shouldn't read promotional, and every claim and statement should be referenced to reliable sources. Thanks! ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:28, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

A Request
Hello there,
I couldn't help but notice the lovely aroace flag strip on your userpage—it's absolutely beautiful! I really really loved it. I was hoping to add a Gay male pride flag over my userpage similarly but I don't how to ? Since, I do not know that much about coding. Would you be willing to lend a hand? No pressure at all, of course! Please do not feel obliged to do so.
Thank you for your time! PrinceofPunjabTALK 05:22, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hiya, @PrinceofPunjab! I will be more than happy to create a stripe to the flag you listed above very shortly. And thanks so much for your compliment! I'm lovin' it as well. :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 15:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from EoinOT (00:15, 22 March 2024)
Hi! I'm new to being a user at Wikipedia. I was trying to message another user recently, but haven't been able to figure out how. I tried the "email this user" option, but I just got an error saying: You cannot send email to other users on this wiki. --EoinOT (talk) 00:15, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hello @EoinOT; welcome to Wikipedia. Usually, email is only used for confidential matters; the preferred method of communication is their talk page. The user likely enabled a setting that does not allow new users to email them to prevent harassment. If you need to email them for a confidential matter, you can ask them to email you on their talk page; otherwise, just put your message on their talk page.

Stiven Mikhail
Can you please help me with this page ? Ildivino1010 (talk) 20:36, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Ildivino1010! I'm happy to help you with Draft:Stiven Mikhail, but in what way can I help you? ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:00, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- It was published before and everything seemed fine. I don't understand fully why it was declined. I know the person who made it didn't do the best job at references but they are there. Is there anyway you can help publish it ? I can give you all exact details? Ildivino1010 (talk) 20:14, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah! So you're correct that it was in mainspace previously, but was moved to draftspace by Ponyo here, as it was not ready for mainspace and also due to persistent UPE concerns targeting the page. Now, I (and a few other reviewers) declined the draft because the subject, Mikhail, didn't meet, per the sources in the draft, the general notability guideline nor notability guidelines for biographies. I also see a {{Paid contributions}} tag – that'll also have to be resolved as well before it is moved back to mainspace. There is this source in the draft that's a good start – try finding more reliable, secondary sources with significant coverage of Mikhail similar to that source! I'll be happy to do a source review for the references in the draft, or to help you in any way to try and establish notability of Mikhail – including attempting to find notability-estabilishing sources! (Courtesy ping (@Ildivino1010!) :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 22:08, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for you're reply. [34]https://ponyvalegeny.blog.hu/tags/Stiven_Mikhail
- That is one link and the president of this football club is a senator and his main page also features Mikhail as a new signing. Would this work ? Thank you for all your help ! Ildivino1010 (talk) 07:48, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm. This may not be a reliable source since it's a blog, and also might be routine coverage, which may not be enough to establish notability of Mikhail. Are there other reliable, secondary sources, other than the blog, that offer significant coverage of him? (Courtesy ping @Ildivino1010!) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:01, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- I will attach 3 articles. One is the countries official sporting website news nb1 which is the first division. It covers when Mikhail arrived with Canadian players to Hungary. The other is the county official media that the blog took the article from. The third is just a random one of many interviews from Canada second division website media team on their official website.

- @Ildivino1010, the three sources you mentioned I'll review below:
- NB1 – a passing mention isn't significant coverage.
- Focidrukker.com – two paragraphs mentioning him, sadly, isn't significant coverage. It could back up content in the draft, though it's not enough to establish notability.
- League 1 Ontario – interviews aren't secondary coverage, it's rather primary as it's an interview.
- Sadly, these sources aren't going to establish notability. ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 15:25, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- The last thing I could find is transfermarkt and Mikhail Instagram. He is verified. Transfermarkt is only for professional players and coaches and is the first thing football teams , agent , coaches look for.
- [38]https://www.transfermarkt.com/stiven-mikhail/profil/trainer/115989
- Another news article by Feol will come in the summer most likely when he signs with a new club. Hope this helps Ildivino1010 (talk) 15:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Windrush3
hello Tails. Are you able to create and publish a simple wiki page? Windrush3 (talk) 12:02, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, Windrush3! Since I'm not really active on Simple English Wikipedia; I don't have an article there. I'm assuming that creating a page on Simple Wikipedia is basically the same as creating one here; so probably yes! ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:00, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ho
- thanknyou for replying.
- Can I send you my sandbox page? Or how to go forward?
- actually that was a non technical use
- if the word “simple”!!
- I just have a simple
- page I want to publish… Windrush3 (talk) 14:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Oh, alright! So, you moved your sandbox to a userpage, with the userpage belonging to a non-existent user. I've gone ahead and reverted it and marked the userpage for speedy deletion, just an FYI. Your sandbox isn't affected, however. Next, is the subject notable? We'll need reliable, secondary sources of the subject with significant coverage of them, and so far, it doesn't seem like the subject, Reverend Mark Farr, meets notability guidelines, unfortunately. I'll be happy to take a look for any sources that establish notability of Farr if you'd like, though! (Courtesy ping, @Windrush3!) :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- So regarding the notability guidelines, being president of a fairly well known international organization working with dialogue between Russia and the US isn’t enough ? Or of the John Lewis organization
- Not seeking to be picky, trying to understand Windrush3 (talk) 14:33, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- I put in some sources from Brookings, C-Span, global peace foundation, Eurasia Center, not sure if you saw them Windrush3 (talk) 14:34, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's alright! Understanding notability guidelines might be a bit difficult or frustrating at first; but you'll later know which sources establish notability or not.
- So, the general notability guideline states:
A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
- This applies to any biography of a person, though WP:NBASIC is a much clearer, specific notability guideline for people. It's basically the same thing.
- For Farr, I'll do a source review below:
- The C-Span source just leads me to the homepage, and not a specific page. Is there a specific one?
- The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training source doesn't even mention Farr, despite its reliability, so that's not a source to establish notability, unfortunately.
- The American Academy of Diplomacy source – same thing with the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training source.
- The US-Russia relations source – again, same thing with the above two sources.
- The Brookings source – we're getting there, but just a profile with two sentences? Not much to establish notability of Farr.
- The Eurasia Center source – reliable, has significant coverage – but not a secondary source, unfortunately.
- The Global Peace Foundation source – same thing with the Eurasia Center source: reliable, significant coverage attained, but not a secondary source!
- So, Farr needs work in establishing notability of him. Let me know if you need help in finding sources, or if you need any example sources that are reliable, secondary, and have significant coverage of a person! There could be more outside of the noted sources above; though I'll need to take a more thorough, in-depth search for sources. (Courtesy ping Windrush3!) :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:58, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for helping me understand
- let me see if there are sources like that out there. I will check and get back to you
- thanks Windrush3 (talk) 15:00, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Tails Wx, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you now intend to devote some of your editing time to writing about women. If you can develop biographies with the same level of detail as in your articles about weather disasters, you'll certainly be a useful member of the project. In this connection, you might find some useful tips in our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any problems or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:50, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hey there, @Ipigott! Yes, I'm working to start articles for women in sports, and if ya haven't noticed, I've began working on Draft:Sara Scalia, an American college basketball player for Indiana Hoosiers women's basketball, and likely starting work shortly on Lexus Bargesser, another women's basketball player for the same team. Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll push my efforts for high-quality articles about women's basketball players, similar to my articles about severe weather events! :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I noticed you'd made a one-line start on Sara Scalia. That's no doubt what prompted you to join WiR. I've also been reassessing your articles, upgrading quite a few to the B class they deserve. Good to hear we can expect high quality coverage of women basketball players. I look forward to seeing them on mainspace.--Ipigott (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for reassessing! I also, did make my 25,000th edit on Dictionary of Women Worldwide, which is also something to note as well as part of Wikiproject Women in Red. :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 14:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Alfred de Laage de Meux
On 25 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alfred de Laage de Meux, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Alfred de Laage de Meux received the rank of brevet without completing aviation school? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alfred de Laage de Meux. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Alfred de Laage de Meux), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.
