I came to thank you for her article, and the many others before, yesterday, but then saw the TFA coming up, on a meaningful date. Thank you today for Nestor Makhno, about "a Ukrainian anarchist revolutionary who led the Makhnovist movement and its insurgent army during the Ukrainian War of Independence. I spent a good portion of last year researching Makhno and expanding the article, completing a peer review from fellow editors and a good article review from someone with expertise in the subject matter."! - Listen to music from Ukraine if you like, - I heard it in 2022, and the November concert raised a truckload of winter clothes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for sharing this music with me! It's quite different from the fundraising concerts I've attended, which have been largely punk and metal in orientation! Glad to hear it got so many winter clothes sent out, that's a vital humanitarian effort. --Grnrchst (talk) 16:01, 6 March 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!

Well, I did ping the DYK admins but its still not been sent to the Preparation Area for appearing on the Main Page. Meanwhile, I have replaced the phrase you suggested with "was" as per your advice. Hoping to hear from you soon. Regards MSincccc (talk) 03:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@MSincccc: Thanks for changing it. As for it getting into prep, just be patient. The admins have a lot of nominations to sort through, they'll get to yours (and mine) eventually. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@Grnrchst It's been nearly two weeks since the article's hook was nominated for DYK. Apart from pinging the DYK admins, is there anything else we can do, or do we simply have to continue waiting? My concern isn't just about the time elapsed, but also the possibility of the nomination being overlooked. Looking forward to knowing from you. Regards MSincccc (talk) 08:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

@MSincccc: The nomination is currently in the approved section, so it's not been overlooked. If you check the section, you'll see the admins have a lot of nominations to go through and your nomination hasn't been waiting that long in the grand scheme of things. --Grnrchst (talk) 09:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Gren's weekly update (5 April 2024)

Hey there everyone. Thought it might be interesting to try my hand at doing weekly updates about my work here, so I can better keep track of my progress and so anyone that's interested can read what I've worked on.

As Monday was April Fool's Day, I decided to make a fool of myself and put far too much time into researching the subject of killing baby Hitler. I remembered this public debate taking off some years back and was surprised to see just how much ethical and theoretical discussion it has generated, not only in public-facing websites and magazines, but in scholarly books and journals as well. I might make this an annual tradition going forward, depending on how many silly subjects have received significant coverage.

On Tuesday, I expanded the article on Gustave Lefrançais, whose short stub article had come to my attention due to an ongoing GA review on Joseph Déjacque. He was quite the interesting figure in early anarchist and socialist history.

On Wednesday, as part of Women in Red's S & T alphabet run: I wrote an article about Armenian academic Seta Kabranian-Melkonian, who I knew about tangentially from my past research on the First Nagorno-Karabakh War; I also wrote about Soledad Real, a Catalan communist that was active throughout the Francoist dictatorship, even after they had her imprisoned.

On Thursday, I expanded the article on José Pellicer Gandía, one of the leaders of the famous Iron Column that fought the Spanish Nationalists from Valencia to Aragon. It was rather sad to read about the way he died, having actually received clemency but without the authorities caring to enact it. An awful recurrent event during the Francoist regime.

On Friday, I wrote an article about Nelly Trumel, also for WiR's S & T run. Trumel managed to liberate herself from an abusive domesticity to become an active participant in France's feminist movement, both in her work for anarchist radio and as a painter, which symbolised her philosophy. She also liked potatoes, so she's in my good books for that alone.

Throughout the week, I've also been working through the above-mentioned review on Joseph Déjacque, I completed my own review of "Zombie" by The Cranberries (one of my favourite Grunge songs) and I have just opened a review on Iveta Radičová, Slovakia's first woman prime minister. Next week I'll be doing more work on writing articles about women, trying to tighten up some of my B-class articles that are close to GA and compiling sources for an upcoming major rework of the article on Voltairine de Cleyre.

All the best to you, both this week and the next, dear reader. See you next Friday. <3 --Grnrchst (talk) 15:26, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
