[edit]
Women in Red | June 2025, Vol 11, Issue 6, Nos. 326, 327, 339, 340


Online events:

Announcements:

  • Who are the most overlooked and interesting Women in Red? We've no idea,
    but we're putting together our list of the 100 most interesting ex-Women in Red.
    We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
    We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
    Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
    If you are shy about editing that page, you are welcome to add ideas and comments on the talk page.
  • The World Destubathon, 16 June - 13 July, 2025

Progress ("moving the needle"):

  • Statistics available via Humaniki tool. Thank you if you contributed one or more of the 1,492 articles during this period!

Request on 09:57:36, 30 May 2025 for assistance on AfC submission by M5637

[edit]

Good day, I do not understand why you declined my article, stating that it was not in-depth and that the sources were not reliable. I had stated all the websites available that backed up what I had said. Thanks

M5637 (talk) 09:57, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

M5637 The first reference is a business directory according to this. The game reserve also operates it See Wikipedia:Independent sources.
The second reference is an unreliable blog. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
The third reference is a business directory. See WP:ORGTRIV - "inclusion in collections that have indiscriminate inclusion criteria (i.e. attempt to include every existing item instead of selecting the best, most notable examples), such as databases, archives, directories, dictionaries, bibliographies, certain almanacs"
The fourth reference doesn't mention the reserve.
The fifth reference is not significant coverage because it just has pictures with captions.
The sixth reference doesn't mention the reserve. SL93 (talk) 11:41, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments at Errors

[edit]

From what you wrote at Errors about the escape room hook, I hope you didn't have the impression that I was giving you (or whoever queued this) a hard time. That certainly was not where I was coming from. I'm not sure why I was aware of the recent decision that superlative hooks be discussed at WT:DYK, but I don't expect anyone to know everything in their corner of this project. Thought it's wise of me to come here and point this out, just so that there isn't any bad feeling left behind. Schwede66 23:26, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Schwede66 It's fine. I just wanted to explain why I did what I did. SL93 (talk) 00:27, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah ok. All good. Schwede66 00:40, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Did you know nominations/Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam

[edit]

in case you didn't get the ping I've done a more thorough and proper review of Template:Did you know nominations/Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam and it requires some work before moving forward. Thanks again. Therapyisgood (talk) 01:40, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Therapyisgood The only issue that I think is valid is the lead being short. You stated, "Discogs lists 958 credits in a variety of roles for him. I haven't checked every one, but one could, and comprise a list where in theory a Bill Nelson album charted higher in the UK than this album." Discogs is user-edited and I already included evidence from the Official Charts Company. As for the bonus album, this article is not about that album. That album had its own releases also so it really should have its own article. As for the article not being clear that it's a solo album, the article clearly states, "It is the first in a trilogy of albums with Mercury Records, including The Love That Whirls... (1982) and Chimera (1983), and is his first solo album since Northern Dream in 1971." SL93 (talk) 02:31, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of an article you approved

[edit]

I have been editing an article that you approved back in 2020,John Junior Today, an unregistered account has requested its deletion, even though the person does have notability. Is there anything I can do to improve it or stop the deletion? I’m just trying to help.

Thanks. Applesandpears20 (talk) 18:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Paul Corey

[edit]

On 22 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Paul Corey, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that author Paul Corey built a door featured in Popular Science that both people and pets could open? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Paul Corey. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Paul Corey), 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.

Grandular

[edit]

Hi, you used the word grandular in Suillus tomentosus here in 2010 and it is coming up on a typo list. Please could you check if that is the correct term, if possible? (I know the edit was 15 years ago.) TSventon (talk) 01:55, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TSventon I fixed it. ""Glandular dotted" generally refers to a surface, often a leaf or stem, that has small, gland-like structures that appear as dots." SL93 (talk) 02:15, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, the language in species articles is often too technical for me and I was unable to check the source in Google books. TSventon (talk) 10:58, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!
