Komi (go) PROD

This article has obviously been neglected, but the topic is a major one for go. You might note that it exists in 12 Wikipedia language versions. The Japanese one, for example, has a number of sensible references. I have removed the PROD nomination and other tags. Charles Matthews (talk) 04:38, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

@Charles Matthews Thank you for improving the article, I am fine with removal of the tags if the issues are addressed, and it seems they have been, more or less. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:22, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

DYK for DOMELRE

On 2 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article DOMELRE, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that DOMELRE (pictured) was the first domestic electrical refrigerator in America? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/DOMELRE. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, DOMELRE), 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.

WikiCup 2021 September newsletter

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.

Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; 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 other contestants, 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.

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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

ANI for JPL

Thank you for your attempt to be helpful with your inquiry in Why was JPL blocked?. Unlike you, I do have a personal interest in the matter, so I'm not sure it would have been appropriate or helpful for me to contribute to the discussion of that incident if I had learned about it while it was open. But your comment lead me to your "Morsels of wikiwisdom", and I think they're helpful write-ups, even if I'm saddened by the implications of the section "On the most dangerous of mindsets" and the following ones for the case that brought me here. DavidLeeLambert (talk) 17:07, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

@DavidLeeLambert I am glad you found them useful (even if I think some need a bit of rewrite). I hope JPL will be ok, as I feel they were treated unfairly by the admins (unless there was private evidence involved, but no indication of this was made). In either case, JPL knows, I hope, they can ask me for help, and since they have not done so I assume they don't feel like they need me to push more on this - particularly as I feel admonished - or even threatened - by some admins involved, who seem to have felt offended that I, a non-admin, dared to question how this was dealt with. And I have little desire to walk on that minefield for no good reason :( PS. Just to be clear, I am not saying JPL did no wrong, nor that a block might not have been eventually justified - I got involved in this by accident and commented because as far as I could tell, the block was given too quickly (in 24h), and its scope was too large (again, given the evidence of wrongdoing presented, which seems to be a single PA-violating diff). As I was recently involved in a discussion concerning an admin, for whom much more diffs of PA violations were presented, and that discussion lasted two weeks and ended up with a warning, I feel there are different standards used for different editors, and this saddens me greatly. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:03, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy

The article The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy 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.

Jadis (Walking Dead)

I removed the merge based on major new news about the character breaking after the proposal - the announcement of Jadis return to the franchise with the statement by Scott Gimple that "she is a big part of connecting the CRM and Three Circles mythology that's seen throughout all three series", the multiple positive third party coverage of this, the fact Jadis appears in two shows within the universe, the fact she was last seen taking off an injured Rick in a CRM helicopter and is now seen as part of the CRM in the trailer, means that the importance of the character has definitely increased as has media coverage since the original merge proposal. There's also the upcoming movies (assuming they actually happen) with Polyanna McIntosh confirmed to have a role in the movies as Jadis/Anne. I have added some additional references and googling for "Jadis Walking Dead" provides an enormous number of suitable sources to further flesh out the article. I certainly won't revert if anyone adds merge proposal back but it is my view that the character is of major importance ongoing and that seems to be backed by many suitable references. Citizensmith (talk) 17:50, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

@Citizensmith Thank you for the explanation. Before I support an AfD I'll do another WP:BEFORE, but right now neither of the four characters I proposed the merge for meets WP:GNG. In general unless we can write a more significant reception, I am skeptical whether articles on fictional entities deserve stand-alone articles. Not everyone is as strict as me, of course :) _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:34, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Viewpoint understood. Sadly we can't teleport to the end of the season to see how important or not Jadis will be to the last acts of The Walking Dead :-) Citizensmith (talk) 03:05, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Requested move

Hello Piotrus. You have educational background associated with Sociology of the Internet; at Talk:Polandball is interesing discussion about changing name of the article, maybe this one could be interesing for you. Cheers. Dawid2009 (talk) 19:51, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

@Dawid2009 Thanks for the ping. Old story, sure, I'll take a look, I am familiar with this topic. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:32, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
