RFA2024 update: Discussion-only period now open for review

Hi there! The trial of the RfA discussion-only period passed at WP:RFA2024 has concluded, and after open discussion, the RfC is now considering whether to retain, modify, or discontinue it. You are invited to participate at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase II/Discussion-only period. Cheers, and happy editing!

Self-trout for that typo, and for the edit actually resetting the RfC not going through. Not quite bad enough for the stocks, which is its own kind of embarrassing... theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 10:16, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PSHAW

Hi. Hope you are well. I was trying to withdraw my own DYK nomination when I realized I can't seem to find PSHAW in my toolbox. Has something changed or is the workbench unhappy? Cielquiparle (talk) 04:17, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, @Cielquiparle! I'm not sure why it's not showing up, but you could always try installing User:Theleekycauldron/Scripts/PSHAW/main.js instead, it's the updated version :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 09:39, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ooops

Hey, Sorry about my booboo at AE. Zero^talk 10:57, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zero0000: No worries at all! got a great laugh out of it :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 11:07, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK Wrapped

Hi Leeky – quick question about DYK wrapped. Is there any easier/more automated way of curating the hook views in a month that I'm not aware of, or is it just what I had to do in terms of copying page names to wmtools and seeing the views on that day? Thanks! DimensionalFusion (talk · she/her) 11:14, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DimensionalFusion: i think Wikipedia:Did you know/Statistics/Monthly DYK pageview leaders is probably what you're looking for! And thank you from bringing back the DYK wrapped (: theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 11:18, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

... did you really copy a couple hundred articles into WM tools to try and find the top five? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 11:19, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. #regrets DimensionalFusion (talk · she/her) 11:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was doing the exact same thing three years ago

October music

You may remember Maryvonne Le Dizès, my story today as on 28 August. Some September music was unusual: last compositions and eternal light, with Ligeti mentioned in story and music. - I took your advice to post desperate need for help/support on my talk. Nothing right now, but please watch it ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:36, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Celebrity Number Six

On 4 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Celebrity Number Six, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that retired model Leticia Sardá had no idea that she was the subject of a four-year global search? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Celebrity Number Six. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Celebrity Number Six), 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.
