Hi PrinceTortoise. Just checking in to see what you've been up to. You might've seen the Metrosideros bartlettii article got promoted to FA and thought I'd say an additional thank you to you because I couldn't have done it without you, honestly appreciate the effort you put into it. I see above this comment you've copyedited another article! :-)

I'm thinking of getting the Nothofagus menziesii article to GA, as there has been really good research on Nothofagus species published recently. It's a bit rough right now but it will look good when it enters mainspace. I guess that's my main focus at the moment. Thanks again. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 23:22, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Wow! Thank you for this – it means a whole lot to me. A thousand congratulations on the FA. It truly is a beautiful article. I can't help but smile as I read it: You found a tree that few people know about, and you made its story known.

As one might expect, I've been doing a lot of copyediting and gnome work. I also wrote an article about Carole Gibbons about a week ago. It's short (I haven't yet learned how to write an article that's better than Start- or C-class), but I am happy with it. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 10:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

You do good work! I, along with others, truly appreciate the effort you put into articles. Much appreciated. :-) I might take a wikibreak after I'm done with N. menziesii and come back to writing longer articles at some point. Keep in touch! Alexeyevitch^(talk) 10:47, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Absolutely keep in touch :) and if you ever need a proofreader, I'll be one ping away (plus perhaps a few days of squirrel-chasing). PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 05:52, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Capitalization of cabinet?

Why? I've requested at WP:RMTR that these moves be rolled back. Dicklyon (talk) 18:08, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

@Dicklyon: I didn't think this move would be controversial – when I type "First cabinet of" or "Second cabinet of" into the search bar (even with "cabinet" lowercase), every result I see has "Cabinet" capitalized – but if it is controversial, then the articles should be moved back until consensus is formed one way or the other. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 19:03, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

This is way more complicated than I initially realized. I'm starting a move request, but I was definitely wrong to try to do this unilaterally. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 20:42, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Carole Gibbons

On 25 April 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Carole Gibbons, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Scottish painter Carole Gibbons had her first US exhibition in her eighties? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Carole Gibbons. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Carole Gibbons), 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.
