Congratulation! - Rohan de Saram - unbelievable story --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:16, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Today I remember an organist who was pictured on the Main page on his birthday ten years ago, and I found two recent organ concerts to match, - see top of my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:46, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I think I may have seen this one before. The photo appears familiar. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:56, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I worked with Vami_IV on his church's article then. - Today, I made Leif Segerstam my big story. -Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:59, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice. That's an excellent photograph — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:05, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's a great honour coming from you! - I hope to get to your FAC. - My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook. I had forgotten the discussion on the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:23, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In appreciation

		The DYK Barnstar
		For providing another set of hands at DYK ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, AirshipJungleman29! I didn't see myself back at first, but seeing how badly admins are needed, I figured I had to get back in the saddle! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:36, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not know you're an admin until now. That's nice. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 10:38, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Boneless Pizza!: Oh, I wasn't when you asked me to review Ada's article. I had resigned in 2018 (lot going on, to put it briefly), and after dipping my toes in the DYK waters I realized how much an extra mop would be needed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:17, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, thanks for stepping back up! -- asilvering (talk) 17:54, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:W Award

Hey, @Crisco 1492. As an old winner of the W Award, I wanted to let you know that I have revamped and restarted the award and award process, if you'd like to nominate more people for it. I have added two awards that offer more for help and encouragement on Main Page activities too! If you'd like to help, get back to me or add yourself to the reviewers section of WP:WAWARD/N. Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 01:19, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That might be interesting to get some engagement. I'll have to take a look and refamiliarize myself - it's been a while. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:38, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly has, I saw it a while ago and wanted to restart it but didn't have the time then but I do now. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 01:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of coffee for you!

Dear Crisco 1492,

Regarding the closure request,[[1]] there were different arguments regarding the use of images before the election and official images after the election, thank you for letting us know that the general consensus is to use the official image, based on the content that the official photos were used in the previous presidential election. Goodtiming8871 (talk) 11:27, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	I especially appreciate the effort you put in to reasonably conclude a topic that had been ongoing for six months, including checking photos that had been used in US presidential elections over 50 years ago. [[2]] Goodtiming8871 (talk) 11:33, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Goodtiming8871. Hopefully it is considered a fair closure. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:26, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Now, I can see the difficulties about admin tasks,

example, I can better understand how much effort went into making a fair closure Goodtiming8871 (talk) 05:57, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The funny thing is, that could have been a non-admin closure as well. A lot of it is a matter of experience. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:05, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know nominations/Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda

Hello! I was the first reviewer at Template:Did you know nominations/Félag hljómplötuframleiðenda, where you added the second review. I'm trying to learn more about the DYK process, so I was wondering if you would be willing to talk me through your process there? I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything and I evidently didn't catch all the source concerns. I'd appreciate any feedback you have for me! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 01:59, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Perfect4th! Don't worry about missing the reliability concerns – it's something that only comes with time and practice. Generally, when I'm reviewing I try to keep the DYK Guidelines in mind. The big ones, you already know: new enough, long enough, with no close paraphrasing or copyright issues, and adequate sourcing (as well as QPQ). There are things that one might catch and bring up, like the reliability of the sources; in this case, the lack of formatting was concerning to me, because without full reference information I wasn't able to ascertain how reliable the source was from a glance, and searching for the source on Wikipedia didn't return hits that confirmed its reliability. If you miss something, don't be disheartened; we all miss things, which is why there are at least four sets of eyes on every nomination even before it hits the main page: the nominator, the reviewer, the promoter, and the user who moves the nomination to a queue. This multi-layered approach helps quite a bit. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:07, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense, thank you very much! Perfect4th (talk) 20:38, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Charlotte Motor Speedway

On 16 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Charlotte Motor Speedway, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that drivers "dodge[d] track blemishes" more than each other during the first race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Charlotte Motor Speedway. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Charlotte Motor Speedway), 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.

Access Malay archives

I want to create article like Iskandar (film) for Tragedi Oktober, Getaran, etc. How to access old Malay newspapers? I don't have highbeam.com access. DareshMohan (talk) 16:43, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DareshMohan. I'm not familiar with Malaysian newspaper archives, as aside from Iskandar and maybe one or two other articles all of my SE Asian writings were about Indonesia. I believe that Newspapers.com has some copies of the Straits Times, and you should have access to Newspapers.com via your Wikipedia Account/Wikipedia Library. ProQuest seems to have some articles too. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, looking through the available material, Newspapers.com does not have anything; however, ProQuest has several reviews and news coverage of both the film and the 250k-copy selling album (which, I know in Indonesia, would have been a platinum certified album... not sure how it works in Malaysia). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uh...

I was trying to link the full-resolution image as a link for the Andromeda Galaxy FPC and I may have accidentally transcluded the image instead, I now know that my browser cannot load a page with a 20,000-pixel image on it so if there's any way that can be fixed, thanks. Whoops, that was probably the dumbest thing I've done all week. Sir MemeGod  18:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - I got into the Wikicode and added the colon back! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:30, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much, I got scared that I broke the FPC page for a second! :) Sir MemeGod  18:46, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, the Wiki is a bit more resilient than that. I know I've forgotten those colons plenty of times. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:48, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Refugee lens investing

Can I ask why you closed this as "no consensus" instead of soft delete? -- asilvering (talk) 01:44, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi asilvering. In all honesty, it was cobwebs from not having closed AFDs for a while. I have re-reviewed the discussion, and WP:SOFTDELETE, and re-closed the nomination. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:34, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers! And if someone requests undeletion and it comes right back, uh, cheers and sorry! -- asilvering (talk) 17:51, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
LOL, no worries! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:53, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Heya. I'm not sure if you're willing to, but I recall that you like Claire Redfield as a character. Do you wanna collaborate and at least act as copyeditor only perhaos after your current FAC is done? 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 21:47, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BP, and sorry for the late reply. I can certainly try and assist, including with the proofreading. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:02, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Its fine. Alright. The article was already sent to peer review anyway. Btw, again tysm for helping me rephrasing some sebtebces at receotion from the article Ada Wong. It really helped the article! 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 02:51, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Jens Lallensack -- Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:03, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops!

Seeing this diff, I immediately crossed my fingers opening the edit history hoping it wasn't me—whoops, of course it was! Sorry about that! And thanks for the work on this very cool bio I got to learn about some. Remsense ‥ 论 10:38, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, no worries, Remsense. Things go walking all the time. I've enjoyed working on the Lingnan School articles. There were some fantastic artists there (Huang Shaoqiang is more my style, personally), and the subject as a whole has gotten me reading into the context of 1900s China ... which ironically helps me understand the context of the Indonesian topics that I've researched both on Wikipedia and in my professional life. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:42, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some stroopwafels for you!

Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia.

Would you Please help neutrality RFC to be reopened?

Summary: Can an RfC for improving neutrality in a major US presidential election article be reopened after it was hastily closed by a specific user?

1. There were many opinions that the biased article in the US presidential election article should be improved.

2. An RFC for improving neutrality was started, and when opinions for improving neutrality came in, it was hastily closed less than two days after the RFC was created.

3. I would appreciate it if you could help improve Wikipedia articles by reopening the relevant RfC so that the opinions of users who want to address neutrality can be posted.
