Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:02, 15 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

"slowing down this progress"

Moving this here so as not to distract from the discussion on the WiR talk page. Re: "slowing down this progress", have you every looked into AfD stats for biographies of women, or know if anyone else has? I'm curious if nomination and survival rates show a gender bias, but don't want to try to figure it out myself :) pburka (talk) 22:56, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't really. My gut impression is that more get nominated, but more get saved/kept. But it's a gut impression, may be based on a different era of Wikipedia, or be plain wrong. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:03, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

That's my feeling, too. Maybe I'll try to figure out a way to measure it. pburka (talk) 01:16, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Short description at Equine nutrition

Hi @Headbomb -- just wanted to give you a heads-up that your edit to equine nutrition seems to have inadvertently removed the Short Description tag at the top. I've restored it, so no big deal. Please look out for that in the future, tho! -- Avocado (talk) 13:02, 7 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, no idea how that happened. Definitely wasn't intentional. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:07, 7 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, no worries -- figured that was the case! -- Avocado (talk) 16:13, 7 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

AAlertBot: Updating article alerts failure

AAlertBot's task "Updating article alerts" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 4 edits in the last 1 day, whereas at least 10 were expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the {{/task}} template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 05:20, 17 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
