Today's TFA, Felix M. Warburg House, was written by Vami_IV and Epicgenius, introduced: "This article is about another of the great houses that once lined Fifth Avenue in New York. Specifically, this is the mansion of Felix M. Warburg, a Jewish financier who ignored fears of anti-Semitic reprisal to his decided to build himself a big Gothic manor in the middle of New York City. Although the Warburgs no longer remain, their legacy does: the museum is now the home of the Jewish Museum (Manhattan) and the building largely survives as they left it. It's a beautiful building and I hope you will all enjoy it."! - in memory --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Intervention request by an Administrator, please

Hi, @Kusma . I'm contacting you after visiting [1] and [2]. I'm having a problem with users @TylerBurden (abusing his Wikipedia rights) and @Borgenland, who are deleting my editions in the conflictive page Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (1 December 2023 – present). Specifically, they're deleting a properly sourced edition by me, with a highly relevant deposition by NATO's supreme commander on April 10, here and here. Then, @Tylerburden also came to my talk page to try and intimidate me, and has also erased the content in the main page about the war Russian invasion of Ukraine, here. Sorry for bothering you, but I'd need help to learn how to proceed. Best regards, MaeseLeon (talk) 18:37, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had explained to them in my edit summary as to why and have made a more detailed explanation in their talk page, but instead complainant above has made wild accusations and bad faith assumptions. Borgenland (talk) 18:57, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This does not appear to be an admin matter at this point. Not everything that is sourced must be included. If you wish to explain why you think the content should be included, the best place is on the relevant talk page. —Kusma (talk) 19:25, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

WikiCup 2024 May newsletter

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.

The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:

The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). 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 would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page.

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II.

傳維基璽!

The Heirloom Seal of the Wiki
『受命於天既壽永昌』

I was going to wait to bestow this upon you until after the GA review was complete, but you once again pulling through with a knotty paragraph, coupled with me having added your idea to the History section and it looking particularly snazzy makes me pull the WikiLove trigger now. I know I've said it a lot, but thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring, helping me write the very best version of an article I care a lot about, and being nothing but a role model for my improvement as an editor. Remsense 00:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

非常感謝! Currently it is a bit more like a really thorough peer review than like a usual GA review, but whatever it is, I think it seems to be improving the article. I hope to get through this bit of the source review over the weekend so I can look at your overall changes (and then take stock how much still needs to be done). —Kusma (talk) 21:14, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

Hello @Kusma, thank you for leaving a comment on the FA review for Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. I was wondering if you would be interested in supporting the nomination? Llewee (talk) 13:21, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Test pages

Thank you for removing the speedy on Wikipedia:Move test page 1; would it be possible for you to also restore Wikipedia:Move test page 2? I need multiple pages to fully test functionality. BilledMammal (talk) 13:26, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BilledMammal: sure, I only deleted that one because you had re-added the {{db-g2}} tag. —Kusma (talk) 13:27, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you - I re-added it after remembering that the creator of a page wasn't supposed to remove the tag. BilledMammal (talk) 15:03, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I use this as a guide. You are correct that our instructions are contradictory and unclear. Nikki said to discuss it on the page but my experience is policy discussions rarely go anywhere on WP. Hope all is well with you and that this helps. SusunW (talk) 17:48, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, this looks much better than our guide. I guess what we need is someone who rewrites our guide, not a long discussion on what colour the bikeshed should be. —Kusma (talk) 18:57, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts exactly. If someone starts a discussion over there, I'll put in an appearance, but not likely to stick around if it is beating a dead horse. We really should fix the guide, but my experiences tell me it isn't likely. SusunW (talk) 22:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a link to your guide and started a discussion section at that page, but as I am not volunteering to do the rewrite (having no real clue about accessibility, I can offer only goodwill, not expertise) this may lead to nothing. —Kusma (talk) 09:07, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greeting from Gother.com

Hi Kusma,

I'm Sun from Gother.com, we are the online travel agency platform which operates in Thailand for a few years, and also we are partner with the large financial institutions in Thailand, you can get more detail about me from these news https://www.phocuswire.com/thailand-ota-traveligo-gets-25m-rebrands-to-gother and https://skift.com/2023/11/03/gother-raises-25-million-for-asian-online-travel-agency-startup-funding-roundup/. By the way, could you please let me know how can I revise the page to be passed the review before I submitted again. Saranonk (talk) 10:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saranonk, please do not write about your own company. If you do, you need to follow everything said at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest; Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising or promotion. —Kusma (talk) 10:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kusma I understand your point, however let me clarify my intention a bit. My intention is not to advertise the company(I already advertise it in other platforms) but to give the information like who are we and what do we do, to people who is interested in the company, it's the same case as Traveloka or Agoda do. I'm very new for the Wikipedia so I would very appreciate if you suggest me how to revise content to be acceptable as the policy. Saranonk (talk) 04:47, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Statements like "The heart of Gother's branding is encapsulated in the concept Open-Ended Destination with Gother, the platform where travel means more than just destinations" are clearly advertising (and empty phrases). As at Agoda, a Wikipedia article is written using reliable, independent secondary sources (which must include any important negative content as per WP:NPOV). To qualify for an article, the sourcing must be good enough to pass the notability guidelines. —Kusma (talk) 10:37, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
