DYK for Rabbit Keen

On 1 April 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Rabbit Keen, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a rabbit played for the Philadelphia Eagles – as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, that will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4–0 ballgame? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rabbit Keen. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Rabbit Keen), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Your draft article, Draft:The People's Championship

Hello, BeanieFan11. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The People's Championship".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 19:43, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, BeanieFan11,
I believe you created a redirect on this page after a page move but then another editor, who has since been blocked, turned it into a draft article. But Twinkle just looks at who made the first edit, which was you, so that is why you are receiving this message. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 19:45, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

1941 Willamette Bearcats football team

With its Pearl Harbor ties, this one has the makings of a good dyk submission. Care to work with me on developing it more fully? (I just started it last night, so there is time to develop it.) There is an eighth victory that I have been unable to find, for starters. I would also like to develop more fully the story of the Pearl Harbor game and its aftermath.

Easter citations

I saw your notice on the reward board about missing citations from Easter. I've, over the course of several edits, added citations to all paragraphs/sections with the citation-needed template and any others that were missing references. I also added non-primary sources to the paragraphs that had only primary sources (and were marked as such). I didn't/couldn't cite every individual song in the music section that was marked as having no citations because it was also marked as needing to be rewritten, and it's generally not necessary to cite every work relating to an artist (in this case, most of the songs were too obscure to have reliable sources about each of them). Let me know if I missed any or if more are required! Clearfrienda 💬 17:05, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

Technical for species micro stubs

What mean all the things in the infobox, Squamata, colubridae, calamaria, chordata, EW, CR, VU etc. If that makes sense to you, great, but to me it doesn't say a thing and I believe to the vast majority also. The is no explanatory text.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 23:38, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

  • The infobox doesn't really let you further explain that stuff (and explaining in the text wouldn't really make sense, as going in-depth saying "the kingdom is animalia, which means ... the phylum is chorodata, which means..." seems off-topic and not that relevant for such pages), although in my opinion it is informative enough already – to know what EW, CR and VU mean, you just need to click "conservation status" – and Squamata and all that is already explained as being the species, genus, suborder, etc. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:43, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
    I just see the other articles on species and those articles are usually much more informative. If I open Calamaria Forcarti I can read a phrase and I'm honestly disappointed and will not recommend wikipedia for that page. Some tag is needed. I thought of too technical then but if you have a better one... I thought of Lead too short, but it's not even a lead, there is no body. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:03, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 May newsletter

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:

Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, Chicago PCN02WPS, and London AirshipJungleman29.

So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#RfC on draftifying a subset of mass-created Olympian microstubs

Could you please provide the list of articles that you have improved and should no longer be draftified as part of this proposal? BilledMammal (talk) 03:12, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

I reviewed the articles currently listed in that proposal and I've removed three that I found you added sources to; Roland Spitzer, Theodore Gross, and Walter Bowler. The complete list is now:

If I missed any, please let me know and I will remove them before starting to prepare them for their move to draft space. BilledMammal (talk) 02:26, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

  • As I said, I would appreciate if you could wait until the close review occurrs (I plan on taking it there between tomorrow and Monday). BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:09, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
    That's a lot of articles being sent to draft space, only for them to be deleted in 6 months from now under the G13 criteria. I think a close review would be good in this case since it was pretty clearly split and one could argue this is a backdoor to deletion. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:34, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
    @Hey man im josh: Just letting you know that the proposal said that if draftified, there will be an extension on the G13 deletion – although I still definitely agree with you that this warrants a close review and would be a backdoor to deletion. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
    I understand it says that, but it's difficult to enforce this supposed extension. Users will find them, nominate a draft here and there, and at least some of them will be deleted well before that 5 year mark because not every admin will always remember or be aware of this exception. There's no great solution, but a subset of articles having an extended time to remain in draft space just doesn't feel like the way to go about it. I know your stance, just venting a bit as someone who does do a lot of G13 tagging. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:58, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
