Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Voyager 2 at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step III of the nomination procedure.

Thank you for improving article quality in June! - Today we have a centenarian story (documentation about it by Percy Adlon) and an article that had two sentences yesterday and was up for deletion, and needs a few more citations. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello

As the uploader of the image, I have the right to request it be moved. Why did you decline my request? Mach61 13:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Sure, but have a read of the declining policy. The rename is completely unnecessary IMO and satisfies FMNN#1. Hence declined. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 13:35, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
IMO the uppercase "JPG" is confusing enough to warrant a rename Mach61 14:25, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Again, not exactly a criterion for renaming and totally unnecessary, IMO. If you still want to contest, you may submit it again and let some other file mover or sysop respond. Thanks and happy editing :) — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:21, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Voyager 2

On 30 June 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Voyager 2, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Voyager 2 has been transmitting data for more than 46 years, making it the oldest active space probe in history? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Voyager 2. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Voyager 2), 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.

This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia

I still do not understand the point. A lot of Artists are below the quality of Jean-Pierre and figure in Wikipedia. I cannot cite much more since the recognition of Jean-Pierre was mainly documented in newspapers. At this time internet was not very popular. And who can decide if someone is notable or not. I also remove all the mention of the quality of this painter to follow the guidance given by previous comments mentionning "advertising". I reduce all to the bone. Very disappointed by the way this was handled. Jpgroppi (talk) 12:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Jpgroppi, 6 editors declined the draft before my rejection and 5 left very useful and lenghty comments regarding improvements that can be brought to the article. But I haven't seen any major improvements that barely makes it pass notability criteria yet. It's close to an year now. So if such citations doesn't exist, as you say, that means the subject simply isn't notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Hence I rejected the draft altogether.
If you still disagree with me, you can contact AfC help desk for a review. Just a heads up, you can devote your time into other articles for which citations are present and improve them. Thanks and happy editing. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 13:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your quick reply. What do you mean devoting my time into other article, what do you mean article? Other artists or to find more citations from the actual artist I am trying to publish? Jpgroppi (talk) 14:00, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Jpgroppi, Either. Good luck. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Redirects

Hi! Thank you for moving the files. Shouldn't the redirects be deleted? Lunar-akauntotalk 12:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Not necessarily. See WP:FILEREDIRECT. Happy editing :) — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 14:14, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
I see. But redirects are for, like, when there's traffic, right? Previously, when i requested the same for other files, the movers moved without leaving a redirect. Currently, leaving a redirect makes the redirect appear in the file usage section. Anyhow, since there appears to be disagreement by another editor over file names, I'll mark the previous redirects for deletion once that's cleared up. Lunar-akauntotalk 07:42, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Third relisting

Hi. I recently came across Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swadhin Axom where I notice that you relisted a third time. Per the deletion process third relists are discouraged and when they do happen need justification. Barkeep49 (talk) 02:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Barkeep49, Hi, thanks for the message. I relisted it due to no consensus, but I'll be careful to write a short rationale next time for a third relist. Thanks and happy editing :)
. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 04:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Great to hear you will change in the future. I would suggest, when making these statements, you don't just write "I relisted it due to no consensus" but why a relisting to find consensus is appropriate for that particular AfD. Thanks and happy editing to you as well. Barkeep49 (talk) 17:19, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Barkeep49, Hey, how would you proceed with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/For the Freedom of Nations!. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 10:08, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for asking. I would close that given that there was no subsequent discussion after the last relist. Depending on the proper weighting of the various !votes I would close it as either delete or (more likely) no consensus. Barkeep49 (talk) 17:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

County Buildings image

Thank you for the title change. I'm still seeing the "pre-1987" image in the infobox at County Buildings, even though the image is the non-appended version of the title. Should I have had the other image renamed instead? I was following the shadow tag that was placed on the black-and-white image earlier. This is the image that should be appearing in the infobox. Seasider53 (talk) 15:15, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Seasider53, Hey. The images are two different ones. I only renamed the bnw version. If you want the coloured one, you have to manually change it in the respective infobox. Thanks and happy editing. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:24, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
I did that, but when I click on the image link in visual-editing mode, I can see a redirect happening. It may fix itself after a while, I suppose. Seasider53 (talk) 15:31, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Seasider53, I have tagged the redirect for deletion. It will be fixed after the deletion. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 06:47, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Please check if this version with the same reference fits into the article.
Zayn al-Din Makhdoom's 16th-century Islamic jurisprudence text of Malabar(present day Kerala), Fatḥ al-Mu‘īn, promoted an inclusive Islam, including the celebration of festivals with other communities present then. However, modern critics, influenced by Arab cultural interpretations, now denounce such practices as un-Islamic, reversing the region's historical approach to religious harmony.
