Question

Just asking, if you make an article a GA, and then you make it FA, do you get both 35 and 200 points, or you get only 200 points? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 03:01, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yes, you get both! it would be pretty impressive to get an article through both processes within 3 months haha. ... sawyer * he/they * talk 05:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:WikiProject Oral tradition

Would people be interested in joining a wikiproject on improving and creating articles about oral tradition? Wikipedia's coverage on this appears to be very poor Kowal2701 (talk) 19:22, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

personally i've got a lot on my plate both wikipedia-wise and in real life, but you've certainly got my moral support! :) ... sawyer * he/they * talk 06:07, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Second-level country article question

Does, for example, the Flag of North Korea count as a "second-level country article"? "Flag of ..." is not listed in Wikipedia:Sample country outline, but all countries' outlines list their respective flags. Yue🌙 01:51, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We had a brief discussion about flag articles with another participant recently; the short answer is no, primarily because it is not typical for flags to receive a dedicated section in the main article about their countries, and vexillology articles clearly do not have the same significance as, say, Culture of... or Economy of... articles. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:13, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TechnoSquirrel69: Got it, thank you! Yue🌙 20:08, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My leaderboard

Recently, Ixtal put my DYK into the GANR section of the leaderboard, and said it should be worth 10 points, meaning I could get 15, can any coordinator fix this? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 23:46, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i've fixed the issue - it's up to date now :) ... sawyer * he/they * talk 00:45, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Réunion

Does Réunion, an island in the Indian Ocean next to Mauritius, count for points? BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:03, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As of right now, no. Neither the International Monetary Fund nor the United Nations have identified it as a developing economy. We could add it to the list by consensus, like we did for Greenland, but I'm not sure we want to do that a month and a half into the contest. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:03, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
